Jared stood silently before the trove tree in Victor’s backyard. It looked very ordinary, and even though people often
passed by the yard, no one ever cared to take a second look at the tree.
The glint in Jared’s eyes, however, was of absolute envy. After all, the trove tree had grown while absorbing celestial
energy and was now practically bursting with it.
Oh, my… If I could absorb every last drop of celestial energy from this tree, I might just be able to break through
Body Fusion Realm! There’s spiritual energy everywhere in this Ethereal Realm, but pure celestial energy is as
scarce as a hen’s teeth. In any case, using celestial energy for my cultivation would be way faster than using
spiritual energy!
With that, Jared took a deep breath. Ah… The trove tree is surrounded by an arcane array to keep its celestial

traces. Otherwise, I’d never have paid any attention to this plain-looking tree!
Just then, Hamish and Victor walked into the yard. “This tree of mine was transplanted from Mount Crimson. When I
first discovered it, a skeleton was buried underneath, and it most likely belonged to an immortal who died during
the Celestial Battle. The tree then grew by absorbing the dead immortal’s celestial energy. which explains why it’s
filled with so much energy now…” the latter explained.
Since Jared already knew the trove tree’s uniqueness, Victor realized there was no longer a need to hide its origins.
After hearing it, Hamish turned green with envy. “You have amazing luck, Victor. I’ve walked through Mount Crimson
many times, yet I’ve never chanced upon a treasure like this or even a celestial beast.”
“Celestial beast, huh…” Victor muttered with a smile. “You’d better not run into one if you don’t want to be eaten.
Given your abilities, you won’t be able to take them on.”
“Mr. Jablonski, can I use something else in exchange for your tree?” Jared asked. Oh, I really want the tree… I want
to absorb all of its celestial energy!
Victor shook his head. “No. There’s nothing I’ll exchange it for. I’d have given you the tree if you managed to cure
my niece. Alas, she has already recovered, so there’s no way you’ll get your hands on it.”
A smile tugged at Jared’s lips. “Don’t say that. For all you know, I might still have a chance…”
“I suggest you drop the idea of stealing my tree.
You don’t have that capability, nor would you be able to leave Salinsburgh City, Victor snapped, thinking Jared was
planning to abscond with the trove tree.
“I, Jared Chance, have never been one to resort to such underhanded means. When the time comes, you’ll be
offering me the tree willingly,” Jared said before returning to his room to rest.
“Hmph. How arrogant…” Victor scoffed, not at all caring about Jared.

This punk is just a Body Fusion Realm cultivator and a junior alchemist. If it weren’t for Hamish, I’d never have let
him stay at my place!
The next day, Hyrum concocted a pill and sent it directly to the Jablonski residence.
Filled with utter respect for the man, Atlas personally welcomed him.
“I made this pill overnight, Mr. Jablonski,” Hyrum said as he handed Atlas a black pill. “You may give it to Ms.
Jablonski. Once she has consumed three of my pills in succession, I guarantee she will be fully cured.”
Carefully accepting the pill, Atlas beamed with joy. “You’re truly impressive, Mr. Goeckner. I can’t believe you
managed to concoct this pill so quickly,” he praised. “Sadly, there aren’t many alchemists of your caliber in
Ethereal Realm. Most of them are nothing but charlatans! Just yesterday, a young man dropped by and claimed to
be an alchemist. However, he kept insisting that Effie was poisoned and that you’re a Demonic Cultivator, Mr.
Goeckner. He even said there was a demonic aura inside Effie. How ridiculous!”
