Chapter 393 Parasites
Although spiritual energy cultivation would make a person hundreds of times stronger than martial arts
training, it was also very costly.
After Phoenix left, Jared shifted his attention toward the bags of hundred-year-old herbs and the
thousand-year ginseng.
With these resources, I might be able to enter the Foundation Phase! It may only be a level higher than
my current state, but it will boost my power significantly. Only by entering the Foundation Phase can
one truly be an energy cultivator, which the people call ‘immortals!’ All right! Time to surpass my
current level!
With that in mind, Jared summoned Tommy to help him out.
It would take days to reach the Foundation Phase, and he absolutely could not afford to be interrupted.
Because Jared would be at his weakest during the process, he would bepletely helpless against
enemiesing for him. As such, he needed Tommy to protect him until the entire process was over.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. I will not let anyone interrupt you, even if it means sacrificing my life!” Tommy
swore confidently.
Jared gave him a pat on the shoulder and said, “You can ask Phoenix for assistance if you run into any
trouble. I’ll be counting on you for the next few days then!”
After giving Tommy his instructions, Jared called Josephine and told her to go hang out with Lizbeth in
Summerbank for the next few days as he had business to attend to.
Josephine knew better than to ask Jared any questions and simply reminded him to stay safe.
Having made all the arrangements, Jared locked himself up in a room. With a swing of his arm, he
threw a faint ball of fire at the herbs and surrounded them with it. He would have to first produce energy
condensing pills and consume them in order to start the cultivation process.
It took Jared an entire day and night to turn all the herbs into energy condensing pills. He then
consumed them all in one go without any hesitation. When the spiritual energy from the pills began
surging out of his body, he quickly channeled Focus Technique to refine it.
Mini cyclones of spiritual energy were rapidly circling Jared’s body, and the entire room was enveloped
in a faint, white fog.
Tommy breathed a sigh of surprise when he saw the fog while standing guard outside.
While Jared continued his cultivation process, a group of eight people was gathered in a hall in
Crescent Sect located thousands of miles away. The leader of the group was wearing a robe and a
brass mask, so it was impossible to tell his age and gender at first nce.
That man was Fabian Quillen, the head of Crescent Sect, but no one knew his true identity.
“Mr. Quillen, Venicus has been gone for a few days now. I haven’t been able to reach him. Do you think
he might’ve run away with our herbs?” one of them asked.
“That’s impossible. He would never dare do such a thing. That guy may be a pervert, but he doesn’t
have the guts to betray Mr. Quillen!” someone objected.
“Then why haven’t we been able to reach him?” another person asked.
The entire hall fell into silence as no one knew the answer to that question.
“Venicus is dead,” Fabian replied while retrieving a ck bottle from the side.
He then pulled out a ck centipede about six inches long from the bottle. Despite it looking very scary,
the centipede was already dead.

“Venicus’ parasite has died. This means he is no longer alive,” Fabian continued calmly as he tossed
the centipede onto the floor.
In Crescent Sect, every member had a parasite imnted in their bodies. The parasites all came in
pairs of opposite genders. The female parasite would be imnted in the member’s body, and the male
parasite would be kept in a ck bottle with Fabian. If one of the parasites died, the other would also
die at the same time regardless of where it was. That was how Fabian controlled the members of
Crescent Sect.
