Chapter 444 The Tough Choice That They Were Faced With


    The five elders epted Ricky''s generous presents. The Treasures from Heaven and Earth were


    things that they needed the most, after all.


    "Thank you, Ricky! We are grateful for what you have done to help us. Maybe we are old, but we can


    still do something for you. You must tell us whenever you need a hand and we will do whatever we can


    for you—you have our word." They made their promises to Ricky right after he gave them their gifts.


    They clearly understood that Ricky did not have to help them with all his might, but still, he had


    searched for such powerful treasures for them. That was thoughtful enough of him, so in return, they


    would spare no effort to pay him back as long as they could.


    "Thank you, elders, for making this promise to me. You are my seniors, so I am just doing what a good


    junior should do for you," Ricky replied in a soft voice as he gave them a sincere look.


    "So, the next choice is going to be really tough. I''m afraid I have to leave the choice of what to do next


    up to you guys," Ricky said again in a slightly serious tone after he paused for a moment.


    The next second, he took out the cultivation method inheritance and casting skill inheritance that he


    had gained from the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor.


    "What are those, Ricky?" the elders asked. They had great looks of shock on their faces when they


    saw the two luminous blobs.


    "These are the cultivation method inheritance and casting skill inheritance from a demi-spiritual


    emperor. He was also a casting master at the advanced stage of Spirit Level," Ricky replied. "I''d like to


    give them to you, but there is a problem. I only have two inheritances, while there are five of you. As for


    who will get them, I''m afraid you have to decide on your own."


    Ricky had his own things to consider. If he were to make the choice, it would be unfair to those who


    didn''t get them. If the choice was left to them, then no one would me him for being unfair. There was


    nothing he could do to solve that problem. He only had two inheritances, after all. If possible, he wished


    that he had five so that each elder could get one.


    "The inheritances from a demi-spiritual emperor?" they eximed in shock again upon hearing what


    Ricky had just said.


    After the shock was gone, they fell into silence. Everyone wanted the inheritances from a demi-spiritual


    emperor, especially people like them who were old and were not able to break through and be


    innate spirits. It was no shame to admit such a thing.


    The six people fell in silence for a few minutes.


    Finally, a decision was made. Elder Samuel and another three elders exchanged looks before they


    turned to Ricky and said at the same time, "Ricky, please give the inheritances to Elder Evan! We''ve


    made the decision that he deserves them!


    The demi-spiritual emperor''s cultivation method must be of the fire nature. Elder Evan is very powerful


    in the methods that use fire energy, so it fits him perfectly."


    "What are you talking about?" Elder Evan eximed in a serious tone when he heard what the other


    elders said. "Do you think I am the kind who would ept them all alone? Do you think I''m that


    selfish?"


    "Elder Evan, we''ve known each other for a really long time. We worked for the former chief, andter


    we worked for Chief Zenith together. We''ve been through tough times together. So, please just ept


    it. All of us agree on giving the inheritance to you and we made this decision willingly," Elder Samuel


    said.


    "You don''t need to hide anything from us. I''m sure you are almost one hundred years older than the


    rest of us. For us, there is about one hundred and twenty years left if we do not be innate spirits.


    If I guess that right, you have thirty years at the most left, even if you have the Treasures from Heaven


    and Earth to extend your life."


    "What? Thirty years at the most? Really, Elder Evan?" Ricky asked in tremendous shock after hearing


    what Elder Samuel said.


    He probably did not have any method he could use to make the five elders immortal considering the


    fact that he was not an immortal yet either, but he was certain that he could figure out a way to make


    them live longer.


    He had done something, as a matter of fact. The Treasures from Heaven and Earth were to extend


    their lives, and some cultivation method inheritances were also excellent examples.


    Elder Evan remained silent then. What Elder Samuel had said was right. He did not have much time


    left at that point because he was entering a stage of deterioration.


    If he did not get some inheritance from powerful warriors or acquire more powerful Treasures from


    Heaven and Earth, there was no way he would ever be an innate spirit.


    "Elder Evan, just take it. They are right—you are the one who should ept it," Ricky said, staring at


    Elder Evan, who was still standing in silence.


    Then, he passed the inheritances to Elder Evan without hesitation.


    Stretching out his old palm, Elder Evan took the cultivation method inheritance of the Ruin Demi-


    spiritual Emperor. He decided not to decline it anymore. He would be hypocritical if he did, and would


    be letting Ricky and the others down. They had already made such a great contribution, so he should


    take advantage of that opportunity while he could.


    "Ricky, my friends, thank you so much," Elder Evan said gratefully. Those were the only words he could


    say despite the fact that he was so deeply touched by their kindness.


    "You can keep your words of thanks, Elder Evan. You are one step closer than us to entering the innate


    spirit stage. We have Ricky, remember? I''m sure he will help us to get more inheritances," Elder Lucia


    said.


    "Ha-ha. It seems that you already have something in mind," Ricky said,ughing and wrinkling his nose


    when he heard what Elder Lucia said.


    "Ha-ha. Sure, we have. We old guys are your seniors, aren''t we? You can''t just watch us die one


    hundred years from now, can you? You are holding great responsibilities," Elder Samuel said while he


    "I will do whatever I can to help you, my seniors," Ricky chuckled as a response.


    "Ha-ha." The rest of them shared their joy with each other.


    "Well, I will ept the cultivation inheritance then. As for the casting skill inheritance, I think Elder


    Samuel should have it. I''m not good at casting at all," Elder Evan suggested.


    "That is a good idea. If we have a casting master of Spirit Level, I''m sure the Misty South Pce will


    gain some great fame in the whole Realm of Wildness!" The rest of them nodded in agreement.


    Elder Samuel did not decline that offer either. He reached out his hand and took the casting skill


    inheritance that was once owned by the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor.


    Although it would be impossible for him to be a real casting master of Spirit Level unless he

    reached the innate spirit stage, his casting skill would be improved greatly if he had that casting skill


    inheritance.


    Cultivation methods and casting skills were different, but they were connected with each other deeply.


    A warrior would be able toprehend a casting skill and the manual rune would be able to improve a


    warrior''sbat power to arge extent.


    After everything was done, Ricky secretly sighed in relief to himself. Finally, the tough distribution


    problem he had faced was solved peacefully.


    The trouble could be solved so easily mainly because the five elders valued their friendship much more


    than their own achievements. The result might have been totally different otherwise.


    If that were the case, Ricky would not have told them about the inheritances he had.


    ''Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor, I''ve fulfilled yourst wish to some degree by giving your inheritances to


    people deserve them. Although Elder Evan and Elder Samuel are not some kind of geniuses, I''m sure


    that they will make the most use of them. Your inheritances will live on through them, '' Ricky thought to


    himself.


    ''I promise that I will help them as long as I can.''


    After that matter was solved, the elders left and went back to their rooms. As for Ricky, it was time for


    him to consider which ce outside the Realm of Wildness he should go to enhance his ability at that


    point.


    Right at that point in time, he heard a message from Zenith.


    When he arrived at Zenith''s room, he saw that Grace and Soar had already gathered there.


    They locked their eyes on Cheryl. From her expression, they concluded that she just had a nice talk


    with Zenith before they arrived.


    "Are these the outstanding juniors you talked about?" Cheryl asked when she saw them, and stood up


    from her chair. She sized them up from head to toe.


    "Yes, they are. I''m sure they will live to be the most talented members after they are admitted by the


    Oriental College," Zenith replied as he nodded.


    His voice was gentle, quite unlike his usual serious tone when he spoke to Cheryl.


    "The Oriental College?" Ricky and Soar both murmured in confusion upon hearing the strange name.


    Grace, however, reacted differently and her eyes lit up when she heard it.
