Chapter 109: Chapter 109

The Mysterious Mechanism Seeds really are that powerful.

Those cultivators who struggle desperately on the path of cultivation, who work hard daily to accumulate even a trace of spiritual energy, would not hesitate to choose to accept the risk even if they knew that the strange treasure might bring not only opportunities, but also irreparable disasters.

Not to mention Jim, if he gave the Mysterious Mechanism Seeds to Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, even if she had the support of the huge Devin Family, she might not be able to resist the temptation.

With the most unbelievable supreme reward on the merit list verified by Jim, there would naturally be no more doubts about the other treasures.

But in reality, other than the Mysterious Mechanism Seeds, none of the other treasures exist...

Owen Bertram smiled faintly and took back the Mysterious Mechanism Seed, saying, "Jim, work hard in the Inner Doctrine later, and raise your realm as soon as possible. The stronger you are, the more useful you are to me."

"The more tasks you can complete!"

Considering you need to communicate with the Beast Speech Skill and the professional groveling posture, I don’t think it’s too much to call you "Little Wang," is it?

Jim nodded repeatedly, then suddenly felt a bit ashamed: looking at the enticement from this angle, look at how generous others are! And think about his previous half of his wealth...

Suddenly, Little Wang felt that the teacher’s gaze was a bit wrong, and it was staring at the booklet in his hand with such malicious intent.

Little Wang shuddered secretly, he had just threatened the teacher with the "Book of Hundred Punishments!" As expected, he heard the teacher speak in an unhappy tone: "This book has a connection with me."

Little Wang immediately offered it with both hands - this kind of "Book of Hundred Punishments" can be lost, used up, and can be applied for another one at any time, especially in the Inner Doctrine, no one would ask any questions. The teacher obviously held a grudge and wanted to vent his anger.

Owen Bertram was satisfied, and with a press on the "Book of Hundred Punishments," he put it in his own Storage Brocade Pouch. This is a good thing.

Then, he guessed: "Let me ask you, why did the Inner Doctrine investigate us this time?"

Jim said it without hesitation.

Combining what Mechanical Dao Soldiers saw in the Extinct Village and the reason given by Jim, Owen Bertram understood that those guys like York Gordon were just making up an excuse to linger in the village and not leave.

Owen Bertram breathed a sigh of relief, and normally, once they found enough Dandelion Killers, the matter would be cleared up; after all, it involved Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow and her backing, the Devin Family.

If it were only up to himself, Owen Bertram wouldn’t have such confidence.

Afterward, Jim and Owen Bertram came out together, and the Head of Inner Doctrine announced on the spot: After a preliminary investigation, the suspicions on Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow and Owen Bertram have been basically lifted, and their actions are no longer restricted.

The Military Officers under Jim’s command were greatly disappointed, while Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow looked suspiciously at the two of them, always feeling that the two men, after being shut in the room for a whole morning, seemed to have gotten... much closer?

However, the Inner Doctrine is a tough organization, and since Jim took the initiative to let go, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow would not deliberately provoke trouble.

In the afternoon, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow came specifically to find Owen Bertram: "I contacted my little aunt, and guess why they investigated us this time?"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow sold the suspense, but Owen Bertram already knew, and his face was uninterested. He replied perfunctorily: "Why?"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow wasn’t happy: "If you don’t want to know, just forget it."

Owen Bertram uttered an indifferent "Oh" and turned to leave but was pulled back by Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow: "It was all York Gordon..."

Owen Bertram had no choice but to listen to it again, and Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was furious: "For his own selfish reasons, he framed the two of us, who made great contributions. York Gordon should be killed!"

"I won’t let this go!"

"Does he think that by simply clearing up the confusion and giving a little compensation to our Devin family, the matter will be over? Naive! Sooner or later, I will make him pay the price for casually splashing dirty water on me."

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was indeed suffocated, but she also got the news from her family that York Gordon had reached an agreement with the Devin family, and the Devin family did not plan to ask him for trouble about the matter.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow wanted revenge... but for now, a small Chief Flag could not help.

Owen Bertram was once again surprised by the title "this seat".

However, on the matter of revenge, he agreed with Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow: "What’s the plan, Chief Flag? What do you need me to do?"

The smooth passage through this investigation and "hiding a hand" in the Inner Doctrine was due to the coincidental possession of a Mysterious Mechanism Seed that was not suitable for him to use.

What if he really got imprisoned, and what would happen to his sister?

Owen Bertram’s heart was filled with anger towards York Gordon.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow stood with her hands behind her back, humming a few times, and said, "This matter... needs further consideration!"

York Gordon and his fellows grinned as they looked at the Dandelion Killer in front of them. In two days, the Military Officers basically searched all the rivers nearby the village, and three Military Officers "died in the line of duty."

The fierce creatures in the river were not easy to deal with.

But the harvest was satisfying, with half a table of Dandelion Killers. Although they were all small pieces, no more than two fingers in size at largest, they had already increased several times compared to the original.

"We will search for one more day tomorrow and withdraw." York Gordon said, "The Dandelion Killers for the Devin family will be deducted from the total number. We have agreed on this."

The other people nodded their heads, feeling a bit painful, but this time it involved the Devin family and they had to compensate them; otherwise, the Devin family could not save face.

At this time, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and one of York Gordon’s confidant Prescotts rushed in: "Sir, we have a new discovery, you... should take a look."

These days, the focus of the Military Officers’ search was all in the rivers. In contrast, the village had become quiet, but the Prescott led the seven people straight to the center of the village, where eight or nine Military Officers were guarding a broken wall and using the Horizon Bureau’s special Talisman to cover the area. Each of them had a cold face, and other Military Officers who wanted to come over and watch were driven away mercilessly.

York Gordon and the other seven people rushed over, and Prescott led the way, with the Military Officers making way for them.

Entering the light curtain of the talisman, there was a dilapidated house inside, with a small hole in the middle that could only accommodate two or three people.

"It’s inside the cave," Prescott said, and the seven people gathered around the cave. Below, there was a clear view, with a grain plant growing in the soil of the cave, only about three feet tall but emitting faint green spiritual waves visibly to the naked eye. Moreover, there were about twenty grains on the top of the plant, each of which was the size of a fist!

A faint grain scent swirled around, drilling into everyone’s nostrils.

Just sniffing this scent made them feel that their spiritual energy had been replenished considerably.

Including York Gordon and Old Fisher, everyone’s faces changed: "High-grade spirit food!"

Old Fisher did not hesitate to jump down: "No... the key is not this spirit food..."

He had seen a lot and examined the cave carefully, then waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone else out!"
