173 Being Direct! (1/2)

Lucio heard Krune's words and had goosebumps.

”Scram! This grandfather here has no interest in rainbow wisps. Besides, this is also for my sake.”

Krune got confused.

”For your sake?”

Lucio nodded.

”That's why I don't mind helping you. The reason for that you will know in the future, though.”

Krune didn't mind. He doesn't think that his Master wants to cause any harm to him or Feifei. Not to mention that doing such a thing might bring a lot of problems between both powers.

Krune then asked.

”By the way, what is the scheduled content for the exchange program?”

Lucio answered immediately.

”You are going to have access to the Sect's Spiritual Pool during the first month. The next five months will be teachings and practical training from the high realm elders inside the Sect. Lastly, the next 6 months are going to be missions around the Divine Path Sect territory with a focus on newly discovered dimension realms. As you probably know, exploring new dimensions usually takes some time, that's why we left 6 months for it.”

Krune then got curious.

”What is this Spiritual Pool? Also, isn't it too dangerous for us to explore newly found dimensions? Doesn't the Wang Clan care about it?”

Lucio then answered.

”The spiritual pool is exactly as the name says. A pool made of pure spiritual energy condensed, and it is even better than using Rank 10 Spirit Stones. There is also another advantage, the Sect has always used several treasures so that it would help those who enter to fortify and stabilize their cultivations. Simply put, it won't cause any side effects and make the cultivation several times faster. Of course, such a thing is limited, so the pool is only opened for a month every year, and just a few selected members can enter.”

”As for the danger you talked about in newly found dimension realms. That is obvious! Do you really think that any of the direct descendants or heirs of the other powers stay inside of their houses for life? If they really did that, I would have already lost the count of how many times the dominant forces changed hands.”

Krune noticed that he made quite an idiotic question.

'That's true! How could such enormous powers like the Big Four keep on the leading position if their descendants and disciples never go out to experience life? That would be the same as cutting short their own futures.'

Lucio then commented.

”Of course, we are not sending you guys into any suicide mission either. The Sect will always first check at which level those dimensions are. Although it will still be dangerous and one can die inside, it won't be to the point where those who enter can't do anything about it. You better know that it isn't only us, but our geniuses that went to the other powers will pass through such experiences too.”

”Master, you said that Feifei is extremely special for the Wang Clan. How come they let her come this time? Especially considering the fact that we will enter those dimensional realms.”

Lucio agreed with Krune to this point.

”To be honest, I'm also a little curious why they let it happen. But after what I found about your Elemental Core, I guess that what Feifei has is an improved Destiny Core. Probably, the Wang Clan trusts Feifei's ability to divine her own path.”

Lucio was right, that was exactly the reason why Wang Xin allowed Feifei to come.

Krune nodded and had to admit that it made sense.

Lucio then exchanged a few more words with Krune and left right after. In fact, he could have sent someone else to do this kind of thing, but he simply couldn't let go of the chances of importunate Krune.

Tasier and Lofa could only hear the first part of the conversation. After Lucio entered the issues of the Improved Major Cores, he had used his spiritual energy to seal the surroundings so that only he and Krune could hear. After Lucio left, Krune finished his lunch with them and cleaned everything.

”Well, I will be busy for the next year, it seems. I will first use the first month to enjoy that Spiritual Pool. As for the next five months of teachings and practical training, I will instead use it to improve my Blacksmith Rank. I already have Master anyway, so anything that I learn during those five months won't be any better than Master's one.”

Tasier couldn't help but feel jealous.

”I wish I could enter that pool too. It seems amazing!”

Krune nodded.

”If I could, I would bring you inside. But from what I can see, I'm only getting to enter it because of Master. If not, I probably would also be kept out of this opportunity.”

Lofa was hearing everything, but she wasn't really paying attention. Krune noticed that she seemed to be worried about something, though.

”Is there something wrong?”

Lofa then greeted her teeth and asked.

”Krune, would you consider taking me instead of Feifei?”

Tasier was taken aback with that. He didn't expect Lofa to be that straight!

Krune, on the other hand, shook his head.

”As I said, I'm not the one who decides who takes part in this exchange program. Let alone changing you for Feifei.”

Lofa and Tasier almost fainted! That wasn't what she meant at all!

As expected, Krune completely misunderstood Lofa's meaning, which made Tasier feel quite sad for her. After spending such a long time together, he knows that she is quite shy when it comes to her feelings.

”Cough, cough. I guess it's time for me to leave.”
