Chapter 21 Refinement Faction (2/2)

”Just put yourself into the cultivation process and prepare to take part in the Outer Competition.” Grace said calmly without answering Ricky's question, and after that, she went straight out of the room, which Ricky took as a sign that she didn't want to answer the question at all.

”Maybe we could come to an agreement. You can just

smile at me when I succeed in reaching the third grade of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.” Ricky yelled with amusement as Grace left the room.

Actually, he really wanted to see Grace smile.

Ricky knew what it was like to live a serious life all day. He also had two years of being treated as a waste and he didn't want to experience that any more. And he thought so did Grace.

Ricky guessed the birthmark on her face would be the most important reason why she turned out to be like this. That birthmark on her face really didn't look good. After all, he didn't know any girl who did not want to be beautiful.

If Grace was not a powerful warrior, she should suffer more than Ricky.

Grace kept her silence again and nobody knew what she was thinking.

”Master, I will definitely get rid of that birthmark for you once I am able to do that.” Ricky promised himself watching Grace walk away until she disappeared from his sight.

……

Then Ricky concentrated on his breathing. After the battle, he could not hold his breath longer than what he used to. Ricky knew that even though he had succeeded in reaching the First Grade of the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, he was also affected by the full blow of Wade, a warrior at the seventh grade of Skin Refinement. He had to admit, a warrior at the seventh grade of Skin Refinement was really very strong.

In the evening, two young men in black clothes came quietly to Ricky's yard. Although they were thin, it was clear that they possessed strong power.

'They must be at intermediate or even advanced stage of Blood Purification, ' Ricky thought to himself. The regained spiritual meridian made Ricky more sensitive to his environment. Ricky could also vaguely sense a warrior's strength by merely a glance.

”Ricky, this is Rod.” One of them introduced himself.

”And this is Greg.” Then, Rod also introduced another man to Ricky. The other man looked a little prideful.

”Hi, is there anything I could help you with?” Ricky acknowledged them and then asked respectfully.

Rod was very polite, and so was Ricky.

”Ricky, in fact, we were all shocked and amazed by your performance in the battle today. So we sincerely invite you to join our Refinement Faction,” Rod replied and he explained why they sought Ricky directly.

”Refinement Faction?” Ricky whispered.

He had known about some basic information of the Snow Sect after he arrived here.

There were three major factions in the Snow Sect. They were Casting Faction, Refinement Faction and Amber Faction.

These three factions were headed by the three disciples inside the Snow Sect. And the number of disciples from the three factions accounted for one-sixth of the total number of the people in the Snow Sect.

It was said that there were many core disciples and even some Elders among the disciples from the three factions.

So no one dared to challenge those important disciples from the faction. Or they would meet a terrible fate.

It could be easy to find members from the name, Refinement Faction. Disciples belonging in the Refinement Faction were given priority in cultivating their body strength.

'It seemed that they were interested in Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.' Immediately, Ricky understood why they wanted him to join Refinement Faction.

If they only want Ricky join Refinement Faction, they could let two lower disciples of Skin Refinement to invite him. But they let two disciples of Blood Purification to invite him, which meant they must have other purposes in mind.

”I believe that you must have heard about the Refinement Faction. Once you join us, we will try our best to help you with your attack with the Nan Clan,” Rod said invitingly.

”Also, we, the Refinement Faction, could help you in defeating Nate, the nominal disciple of the innate spirit.”
