(From MC Perspective)
Ms. Claire rolls her eyes at Zack for his words.
Then she said, "Don't worry Zack. You will eventually go to a higher city one day."
I nodded at her.
Like that our conversation went on for a few more hours. After that I took some time to separate from her and did cultivation inside the tent.
Several hours later,
It's time to leave. After removing the tents and packing up our things, both of us climbed down from the peak one by one.
The train to Red stone city will arrive in an hour. So we decided to leave early as soon as possible. Because no one can predict the rain here. It would be distasteful, If the climate were to change.
Soon, Two hours later.
We reached the bottom of the Mountain Liz successfully. From there we decided to head to Train Station without stopping anywhere in midway.
From time to time, Ms. Claire inquired about my personal details. Since I saw through her thoughts sometime ago, I choose to evade her questions.
Unless, It's related to cultivation , I didn't open my mouth.
Ms. Claire was not dumb, she quickly realised this but eventhough she still continue to ask. Because in her point of view, who knows when they will meet next time.
So she used this time for some conversation.
Soon, the duo reaches the train station.
Right now, It's a evening time. The train will reach Red Stone City by morning.
After waiting for several minutes, the special train for Red Stone city arrives in time.
Seeing the train, I finally sighed in relief.
Otherwise, Ms. Claire would continue to bombard me with questions.
All Zack's subtle facial reactions didn't escape her eyes. But she didn't ask any further at this time.
Then both of us boarded the train and quickly sat in our team.
Then in a few minutes, the train departed from Mountain Liz and moved towards Red Stone City.
In the meantime, both of us had small talk. It's impossible to move away from her inside the moving train. I couldn't even watch the scenery because of night time. So by having no choice I talked to her.
Several hours later,
Next morning,
The train reaches the Red Stone City,
Both of us stepped out of the train one by one. Then while walking towards the exit, Ms. Claire suddenly turned towards me.
"Zack, Don't forget to contact me. If you have some time in the future." Ms. Claire said as she walked out the train station.
"Sure thing. Just take care of yourself Ms. Claire." I replied.
After bidding goodbye we parted our ways. I don't have any clue how she is going to leave from here.
The only mode of transportation here is Train. If you want to go by air transport you need to visit other cities.
Shaking my head, I hopped inside the air car. Right now my mind is filled with Blood Cleansing Vine. I couldn't wait to consume it.
The essence chamber is the best place to consume the Blood Cleansing Vine. Fortunately, I have the clearance to use the chamber whenever I want.
By looking at it outside, I observed that it's still early in the morning. There is still some time left for the opening of the Hansen Campus. But for me, I can enter inside whenever I want.
There was a time where I spent the entire night in an underground chamber.
Fortunately, there is no danger from any kind of Assassin this time.
Mr. Jonathan had already uprooted some of the strongholds responsible for it.
A few minutes later,
The air car lands near the Hansen Camps. Seeing the sign board of the campus, I stepped out of the air car. After paying the amount, I head towards the entrance.
The Gate of Hansen Campus is closed. But the Guard who is doing his duty outside notices my presence.
Seeing my face he quickly recognised and hurriedly came toward me. After the Star Tower event, my name became a household name here.
So, I don't need to introduce myself.
"Good Morning, Mr. Zack, You came a bit earlier this time." The Guard said with a smile.
In response, I greeted him and told him about my purpose.
Next moment, he opened the door for me.
After thanking him, I walked towards the lift to reach the essence chamber floor.
In few minutes,
I came in front of the essence chamber room. I stepped inside after scanning the ID. "It's been so long!" I sighed while looking at Six essence chambers in front of me.
Suddenly, I Thought about Granny Park and Uncle James. I didn't tell them about my arrival yet. I plan to do it, after using the Blood Cleansing Vine.
"Creak" the door opens.
Then without wasting any time, I entered my usual essence chamber using the ID.
The door closed itself after I entered inside. Then I moved towards the timer to turn on the machine.
After setting the time, I chose the center place and sat crosslessged.
In a few seconds the essence chamber is activated. Dense mana is starting to come out of the inlet pipe.
Feeling that, I didn't waste any time.
I took the metallic case from the storage ring and placed it in my palm. "Ms. Claire said this Vine is one of the ingredients for Blood Cleansing Pill" I muttered to myself while observing the pill.
But for others, it must be true but for me it's entirely different. I bet it on my blood element. I hope it will neutralise any adverse effects produce by this Vine.
Seeing the long elongated red vine, I don't know how to consume it. Next moment, I held the block sword to chop the vine into small pieces.
And I ate it one by one, and in a few breaths I swallowed the entire pieces.
At first, there was no reaction. But as I recite the Blood Method in mind.
Things started to happen inside my body.
Due to Blood Method, Red color energies were drawn out from the swallowed vines easily. As the blood ring rune in mind starts to flicker, I feel blood in my body begin to boil.
