BXBX NOVEL Chapter 689 - Scheming
She sounded really annoyed which caused Jason to raise his right eyebrow as he didn\'t expect her to react like that.
\'Why should she bother about the decision I make? It\'s not like I\'m likely to procure an Immortal Eye, or whatever… Rather, I\'ll just die on Kinra island!\'
His thoughts were quite straightforward, but instead of stating his thoughts out loud, he remained quiet.
"Why don\'t you think that I can obtain a cultivation manual at the Lunar rank? Those techniques might be mostly for Grand and Superior races to use, but why shouldn\'t I be able to procure a cultivation manual at that rank?"
His overly nonchalant tone caused the City Lord to look at him with squinted eyes. A few minutes passed in silence, and Jason was starting to feel uncomfortable under her gaze, only to hear a deep sigh.
"You\'re the same as Jennifer, stubbornly rejecting permanent techniques...are you really confident in finding a Lunar technique? How?"
Earlier, he had heard that Jennifer denied a high-graded Lunar rank cultivation technique because it would force her to permanently use it.
As such, Jason knew that Jennifer was also looking for even better techniques, even if the requirements her body needed were much higher.
If she wanted, Jennifer could cultivate in three different cultivation paths, each for one cultivation energy.
However, that would mean that she had to cultivate one technique after another.
Thus, Jennifer, or to be precise, the City Lord had to search for a suitable cultivation technique for her disciple, allowing her to cultivate in all three techniques at once.
Yet, to everyone\'s astonishment, Jennifer had denied accepting this technique because it would permanently restrict her from using any other cultivation technique.
This simple rejection had dumbfounded the City Lord, and those around, knowing that it was extremely difficult to find whatever Jennifer was looking for.
Fortunately enough, a Heaven-Intermediate cultivation technique with the suitable requirements had been found only a few years later, giving Jennifer the ability to skyrocketed her cultivation base to the stage she was now at.
For Jason, it would be less problematic to find a temporary cultivation manual because he only cultivated in one path.
Nevertheless, the City Lord was not Jason\'s master.
As such, she was not obliged to do anything for him.
Despite that, Luna decided that she would listen to his answer, before thinking of a solution because there was something that made her believe that it was essential to bring Jason to Kinra Island.
She was not sure about the reasoning, but it felt important for him, Jennifer, and even her own plan!
Thus, she calmed herself before staring at Jason, with all the impatience she could accumulate.
"I never know what my future will bring, but I\'m not willing to accept a permanent cultivation technique at the Lunar rank!
I don\'t really care what others think about it, but owing to my heritage, I would probably be laughed at if I were to tell someone that I cultivate with a permanent Heaven-ranked cultivation technique.
To be honest, I don\'t think that it would be any different with a permanent Lunar ranked cultivation technique either, but I do not know that for sure!"
Jason\'s statement caused the City Lord to frown, but instead of complaining about his stubborn decision, she stopped for a moment, recalling the words he\'d spoken.
\'My heritage...laughed at...Wait!\'
Staring at Jason, Luna suddenly asked with a slight hesitation.
"I think you once mentioned that your Aura and Stigma are natural...and also that your human heritage was enhanced due to your other bloodline, or am I wrong?"
Jason didn\'t move while looking at the City Lord but the words he said afterward caused her to feel a spark of excitement igniting within her.
"Everything you said is correct!"
At that moment, the City Lord\'s eyes went wide in shock.
\'How did I never realise the treasure in front of me?!\'
Her mind was rattling, and she forgot everything in her surroundings as she solely focused on Jason, who stood in front of her.
Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, which caused her to take a deep breath as she released her mana in a specific direction.
This attracted Jason\'s interest, and he watched her curiously as she was accessing a storage device before he got distracted by the City Lord\'s following question.
"If I have a Heaven-ranked cultivation technique that wouldn\'t bind you to use it permanently, would you, first, enter Kinra Island, and second, answer me one question honestly?"
Jason was unable to comprehend why the City Lord was so desperate in trying to make him enter Kinra Island.
Because of that, he became suspicious of her intentions.
Despite that, Jason could clearly tell that she was not evil, otherwise, she would have subdued or even killed him the moment he arrived.
However, not knowing what she was scheming, he could only say,
"Even with a Heaven-ranked cultivation technique, would I be able to survive on Kinra Island? Let\'s be honest with each other, I am reckless and would normally enter any place that gives me specific opportunities.
Nevertheless, the land of Inheritances is something I won\'t be able to survive if other prodigies were to target me, which is not unlikely to happen.
One less competitor is what everyone wants after all!
I don\'t know what question you want to ask, but why should I risk my life for some unknown inheritance, if I have yet to fully unleash my bloodline, who knows if these inheritances are even suitable for me?
If you\'re serious, and you want me to go to Kinra Island, you will have to be honest with me, and even then I won\'t promise anything!!"
Right now, Jason wasn\'t going to be intimidated due to the fact that the City Lord was a powerhouse, or that she hated men because he wanted to make his stance clear.
She could force him to enter Kinra Island, but once he passed through the barrier, the City Lord would be unable to do anything to him, until the Island submerged once again.
As such, he remained honest, even if it could worsen his relationship with the City Lord.
However, that did not happen, and Luna could only look at Jason as a manual flew through the air, straight into his hands, before it stopped moving.
"Just take a look at it. Afterward, I\'ll tell you what I want from you, as well as some information about the inheritances.
I know you are weak in terms of cultivation base but I\'m not oblivious to the extraordinary capabilities you have. Even if we ignore everything else, your eyes alone are unique enough to make me voice out a request.
You would be able to help Jennifer a lot, after all!
But now...read the technique first, afterward, I\'ll tell you what I truly want from you, okay?"
Jason just nodded his head, not even realising that he had already opened the manual.
Driven by his curiosity about the faintly glowing manual, Jason started to read, oblivious to the fact that his eyes were glued to the magical words written inside the technique.
Hours flew by, and it was only then that he lifted his head before he looked at the City Lord.
"This technique is...amazing!!"
