Chapter 555


    Caspian beamed and said, “That’s your equal cut.”


    “Equal cut?” Maya was taken aback by Caspian’s action and hurriedly tried to pass the bags back to


    Caspian.


    “No, I can’t take this.”


    An equal cut of 100,000 fedulings and 720 spirit stones meant that she would have 50,000 fedulings


    and over 300 spirit stones.


    To an outer disciple like Maya, this was a shocking amount of money.


    It would be impossible not to feel overwhelmed by it.


    However, Maya knew that she yed no part in what happened earlier.


    In other words, Caspian would have easily terrorized and extorted the Simmons men without her


    presence.


    Now that Caspian was giving her half of his loot, her first reaction was to decline his offer because she


    did not lift a finger.


    “Both of us worked for it.


    Of course you’d get your share,” Caspian said, then shoved the bags back into Maya’s arms.


    Maya could not argue with Caspian, and decided to ept the money.


    “What about me?” Handsome chirped softly into Caspian’s ear.


    “I might not have lent a hand, but I had to suffer, too.


    Since you didn’t give me the two corpses earlier, you should give me some kind ofpensation.”


    “I suppose,” Caspian said with a nod.


    “I’ll get the spirit jade outter and… Let you take a long, good look at it.”


    Handsome began to smile upon Caspian’s agreeing tone, but the sharp turn in his words upset him to


    the point that he almost fell off of Caspian’s shoulder.


    Even so, Caspian did not forget about Handsome.


    He would never give the spirit jade to Handsome.


    While they were resting, Caspian handed over a few spirit stones to the little white pig as a small


    constion for his broken heart.


    Handsome was not one to hold a grudge.


    The second he received the spirit stones from Caspian, he forgot all about his earlier tantrum.


    That night, Caspian pulled out the jade scroll containing the Walk on Air spell.


    He figured that it was impossible for him to pick up another type of sorcery at this point, but it would not


    hurt to take a look and have a better understanding of it.


    After all, the spell’s name made it sound like an advanced, powerful one.


    Even if he could not pick it up, Maya still could.


    Caspian had found out from Maya before that she only mastered innate sorcery at that point.


    In other words, while she was in the Pulse Control Realm, she could still pick up two more types of


    sorcery.


    Caspian realized his ignorance after studying the Walk on Air spell.


    Not only could he learn the spell, he could easily manifest it. This was not because Caspian was a


    genius and once again surpassed the Pulse Control Realm cultivator limit of mastering three types of


    sorcery.


    Instead, the Walk on Air spell was simply too pitiful.


    As long as one is able to control their spiritual Chi, a pig that possesses some spiritual aura, let alone a


    trained cultivator, would be able to master and manifest the spell.


    It was neither an offensive nor a defensive type of spell.


    It was not even a detection spell.


    No matter how much Caspian thought about it, he could not figure out exactly what category the Walk


    on Air spell would fall into.


    The reason was simple.


    Manifesting the spell would only allow a cultivator to float about a fist’s width off the ground.


    The distance of which one is able to travel in that way would depend on a cultivator’s spiritual Chi.


    Categorizing floating off the ground at such a low height as flying made Caspian feel embarrassed.


    Even if one shamelessly called that flying, the speed of which one travels was not much faster than


    simply walking.


    On top of that, the spell would not work on steep slopes and mountain trails.


    If that were the case, one was better off walking on their own two feet.


    Caspian frowned when be confirmed his judgment of the spell.


    He could understand why the Simmons family so happily handed over the spell’s original manuscript to


    him.


    It was not because of their fear for him, but because the Simmons family knew that there was no


    realistic use to the spell.


    Instead of holding on to something that was coveted by unknowing fools, they were better off throwing


    it out.


    After hearing Caspian’s sullen exnation, Mayaughed so hard that she was out of breath.


    Seeing Maya’s cheerful demeanor, Caspian could not help but burst intoughter himself.


    He med his own assumption that an ancestral spell was bound to be something powerful.


    At the thought of this, he felt his mood change for the better.


    As useless as the spell was, there were no cultivation limits and all it took was spiritual Chi.


    So, Caspian and Maya learned and practiced the spell together.


    Despite being a pointless spell, there was still a certain level of difficulty when it came to cultivating it.


    It was clear, however, that Caspian’s innate sorcery was far more advanced than Maya’s.


    Even though they were of the same realm, Caspian’s spiritual aura was still more powerful.


    Caspian mastered the Walk on Air spell that night itself.


    He was able to float off the ground and travel a significant distance at a walking pace.


    They arrived in Middle Earlington the next night, and Maya was only able to float off the ground with


    much effort.


    It would take a few more days of practice before she was able to travel in the air.


    That night, they found out the location and time that the floating market would be set up the next day.


    Once they purchased what they needed from the floating market, they would make their way towards


    Earlington of Efrax without further dys on the road.


    ***


    At the same time, on top of a snowy mountain near the border of North Earlington, a group of


    cultivators were resting in the depths of a dark cave.


    Their eyes were filled with deep malice and a vicious evil.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    They might as well have the words “we are dark cultivators” written on their foreheads.


    Their presence made the others in the cave feel ufortable.


    There were about eighty cultivators in the group.


    At that moment, the majority of them were meditating and recharging for the next day’s events.


    One man and one woman, however, sat side by side near the entrance of the cave.


    They looked towards the direction of Earlington of Efrax with uncertain expressions on their faces.


    If Caspian and Maya were there, they would have recognized the couple to be amongst the top ten


    bandits that escaped from the Hopeful Woman Mountain, Ozul Gray and Liliana Faye!


    Of the top ten bandits, Ozul Gray ced third while Liliana Faye ced seventh.


    They managed to survive and escape the explosion that Caspian set up, but they were severely injured


    nheless.


    A year had passed since then, but the shame that they suffered that day was something that the two


    could not easily forget.


    “We’re back, Earlington of Efrax!” Ozul hissed through gritted teeth as his eyes radiated an ominous


    spark.


    The closer they got to the border of Earlington of Efrax, the vengeance in his heart grew into a raging


    fire.


    He wanted to rain hellfire down onto the Heavenly Stars Sect and obliterate them to dust and


    damnation!


    The faces of Caspian, Xander, Omar and the others floated into his mind.


    Ozul clenched his fist and one could hear the sound of his knuckles cracking under pressure.


    His gritted teeth ground against each other, the ominous sound of which sent shivers down those who


    heard it.
