Death… And Me Chapter 139 - Follow

Chapter 139 - Follow

The gathering continued for the day, and several other disciples of all factions fought. In the end, Rean and Roan only fought a battle each. Of course, they already caught enough attention by defeating opponents about their cultivation level. Hulian felt very pleased with the eyes of envy of the other Inner Sect elders. In the end, he decided to reward Rean and Roan with 400 Sect Points each.
Rean and Roan obviously accepted it gladly. Sect points could be used for way too many things. However, before deciding what to spend the Sect Points, they had another more important decision to make.
[The Reward System has been upgraded.]
[Panther Bones - 50 Destiny Points] (Bought)
[Spiritual Sense Absorption Upgrade Level 1 - 100 Destiny Points]
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade - 40 Destiny Points] (Bought)
[Soul Connection Range Upgrade level 1 - 300 Destiny Points] (New)
[Destiny Points: 307]
Before, Rean and Roan had only 155 Destiny Points. However, with Rean's new partnership with the Janariz Weapon Store, his Steel Swords began to spread everywhere. It has already been a month since they signed their contract, so it was evident that the Steel Equipments started to change the destiny in a greater way.
One must remember that the Janariz Store Shop wasn't only present in Majorias City but had several branches in several others too. One entire month seeling Steel Weapons and Armors changed who knows how many people's destinies. As Rean already expected, a weapon that could defeat a low-level spiritual one and is cheaper soon became famous. They were selling like hotcakes. That being said, Destiny Points began to fall into their pockets.
Another thing that also gave them Destiny Points was Rean's night with Elder Tiria. When he healed her back then, it also provided the twins with more Destiny Points. Elder Tiria is at the Nascent Soul Realm, and she is a Core Elder of the Dalamu Sect. The fact that she came back into battle shape so fast obviously would influence the Sect as a whole.
Rean and Roan then looked at the new option available.
"What do you think? Should we go for the Spiritual Energy Absorption or Soul Connection Range?"
Roan pondered a bit before asking.
"Sister Orb, how far will the Soul Connection Range Upgrade go if we buy the upgrade?"
[At the moment, you can exchange your elements up to 10 kilometers. After buying the upgrade, it will be 30.]
"Seems a pretty good upgrade. We never know if we need to go into separated ways, so it might be of big help."
Rean nodded.
"I agree. However, I still think we should go for the Spiritual Energy Absorption first. Being close to each other is the best option, after all. Also, we might get separated because of a mission or something like that. Even if we expend to 30km now, it might not make much of a difference."
Roan had to admit that Rean was right.
"So, Spiritual Energy Absorption?"
Rean nodded.
"That shall be it."
They tapped on the Soul Gem Orb once more and made their choice.
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Level 1 - 100 Destiny Points.]
[Confirm Trade?]
"Yes!"
Suddenly, Rean and Roan felt their Meridians heating up. Not only that, but the ten pillars inside each of their Dantian Foundations seemed to increase in size too. Sure enough, the two fell on the ground and began to contort in pain.
The process continued for an hour before it was finally over.
Rean and Roan didn't have the strength to lift a single finger after that, though.
"Why... must it always... be so painful...?"
Sister Orb simply answered.
[No helping it, you are changing the very structure of your bodies and even your dantians in a span of just one hour. You should be grateful that you can get such improvements with a little bit of pain.]
Rean and Roan could only sigh helplessly.
When the two of them came out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, they immediately checked their cultivation speed. Noticing the difference, They quickly nodded in satisfaction.
"It's really 5% faster, just as the Soul Gem System Mentioned."
Roan agreed with him.
"It might not look much, but it will make a big difference in the long run."
Rean then thought about something else.
"Sister Orb. Now that we bought the first level of the Spiritual Energy Absorption, is the second level available?"
[Yes. You can buy it at any time.]
"Great! How much is it?"
[1000 Destiny Points.]
Rean's mouth twitched.
"Cough, cough... Forget it."
Roan didn't seem impressed, though.
"That's to be expected. Otherwise, our cultivation speed might even double if it is too cheap. The fact that it can already increase the absorption speed without doing anything is already heaven-defying enough."
Rean sighed and nodded in the end.
"Let's save points for the Soul Connection Range Upgrade. It might come in hand in the future."
The next day, Rean and Roan finished the morning training. They were just about to leave when an outer sect disciple responsible for distributing the letters in the Sect approached them.
"Are you Rean?"
Rean nodded.
The disciple quickly passed the letter over and left straight away to make other deliveries.
After reading what was inside, Rean's eyes lit up!
"Great! The first payment has already been deposited into my account in the Zafa Bank. After one entire month of Steel Weapons and Armors selling, I made almost 2000 Rank Two Spirit Stones. As expected of a weapon store with branches in several big cities. In fact, Folca said that he used another 3000 for High-Level Blacksmith Materials, which are waiting for me there in Majorias City."
Roan nodded. Those things are Rean's field, so he won't intervene. Still, he was happy to hear that they will get more Rank Two Spirit Stones soon. They had been cultivating with Rank Ones so far, so it would be a good boost.
Rean then changed direction while using their Soul Connection to say.
'I'm going to Majorias City to take the materials and Spirit Stones. Fortunately, my duty in the beast taming faction helped a lot. I can borrow a flying demon beast to bring me there. I should be back by night time.'
Roan nodded once more.
'Alright, I'll be in the cultivation tower.'
With that, the twins went on their separate ways.
On his way to the Cultivation Tower, Roan took a more secluded path. At some point, he stopped, though. He looked behind, and his gaze fell on an inconspicuous corner.
"I wonder, how long do you plan to follow me?"
Right after, a shadow appeared as a person came into view.
