"So, this place is under your control, huh?" Ricky remarked with an unimpressed expression. "If that's
the case, you better let me out now. It is upsetting that the king's inheritance is right before my eyes,
but I can't get my hands on it. So I'd rather leave here."
Judging from the scowl on his lips, he was definitely not in a good mood.
He initially thought that he would get the king's inheritance once he defeated Michael, and in that way,
he could finally cultivate the power of illusion. And since he had the Gale Zone, it would be easy as pie
for him to get more potent illusion power.
But since Claire was the queen in her previous life, everything in this place could be considered hers,
including the king's inheritance.
It would be impossible for Ricky to take the inheritance away from her. After all, he was no match
against Claire right now.
'Damn it! I've come this far for nothing!' Ricky resentfully thought to himself.
"Come on; look at the bright side. This place helped you increased your strength, at the very least," the
Dragon Intent Grass comforted him with a teasing laugh.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have asked for the Power-transforming Pill just as Michael
did. That pill is much better than the Chaotic Disintegrating Pill," Ricky recounted.
Claire overheard his words and let out a quiet chuckle.
"Ricky, are you really mad?" she asked. "No, I'm not angry. I just don't want to stay here any longer,"
Ricky answered as he glanced at the king's inheritance out of the corner of his eyes.
The truth was that he didn't care about the saint's inheritance at all. However, the king's inheritance
involved the illusion power, which was precisely what he needed. That was why he felt so disappointed.
"Well, if I tell you that you can have the king's inheritance, would you still be in such a hurry to leave?"
Claire asked abruptly.
And her words took Ricky by surprise.
He stared at her with wide, astonished eyes as he unhappily retorted, "If that's your idea of a joke, it's
not funny. I swear, I will take your words seriously. I would never refuse to accept it."
"I'm serious. The king's inheritance is yours now," Claire reiterated with an earnest expression.
"What—what are you saying? Even if you aren't interested in the king's inheritance, you can give it to
some other talented disciple of your clan, such as Peter. Why are you giving it to me?" Ricky
stammered, although he could tell that Claire was serious with her offer.
"Remember, I was the queen in my previous life. That's why I have some knowledge about the king. I
know that he wanted his inheritance to fall into the hands of an ace genius.
And even though I am a member of the Mu Clan now, which means that I have to put our clan's interest
first, I still can't let the king down.
You are more talented than Peter, and that's why I'm giving it to you. You don't have to think too much. I
am giving it to you out of respect for the king's decision," Claire replied.
"I see. Well, in that case, I'll take it. After all, I have no reason to refuse such a great offer.
I don't really get why you want to give it to me, but I don't like being indebted to others. So, now, tell me
what you want from me," Ricky said as he looked Claire in the eye.
"Don't dwell on my reasons too much. I am helping you because I hope you will help our clan when you
are strong enough," Claire replied straightforwardly.
Honestly, she would rather give the king's inheritance to Peter even though she admired Ricky's talent.
She was, after all, a member of the Mu Clan. However, she didn't want to let the dead king down, and
that part of her warred with her pride as a Mu Clan member.
In the end, Claire respected the king's judgment too much to dismiss it for the good of her clan. Thus,
Ricky owed it to the king that he could get his hands on the inheritance.
"I have to say that Claire is an honorable person," the Dragon Intent Grass commented with a trace of
surprise.
"She might have some honor in her, but I can't trust anyone fully," Ricky replied seriously.
Then, he turned his attention back to Claire.
"Rest assured. I will not forget your kindness. If your clan need my help, I will try my best to assist you,"
Ricky promised to Claire.
"Thank you. I will keep your words in mind," Claire answered earnestly with a sweet smile.
She was delighted with Ricky's offer because she felt like it was a good deal. Perhaps, other people
would think that Ricky's promise was not worth the king's inheritance, but Claire thought otherwise.
That was another reason why she decided to give the inheritance to Ricky.
From what she had observed so far, no one was as talented as Ricky. And she could say that her
judgment was reliable. In fact, she was convinced that Ricky would become one of the top warriors in
the near future.
"Thank you for your generous gift," Ricky murmured gratefully with a slight nod of his head.
"I've got six pills at the Sage Level for you. Would you like to accept them as well?" Claire offered
afterward with a gentle smile.
At this offer, Ricky perked up cheerfully and answered, "That would be wonderful! I appreciate the
offer."
From the moment that Claire took control of the place, all the Treasures from Heaven and Earth and
pills essentially became her property. And since she owned so much of them, Ricky felt like he didn't
need to hesitate and just accepted what she wanted to give to him.
"Oh!" Claire seemed surprised that he had easily accepted her offer. "I thought you might refuse them
because of your pride."
"Ha-ha, no way! No one would refuse six pills at the Sage Level," Ricky answered readily with a bright
grin on his face.
At this moment, Claire flipped her palm upward, and three golden pills and three green pills instantly
materialized.
The three golden pills were Power-transforming Pills.
Meanwhile, Ricky could sense strong pure life energy coming from the three green pills.
"These three golden pills are Power-transforming Pills, and I guess you already know what they can
do, right? Once warriors take it, their fighting power would be improved based on their talent and
potential. These three green pills are the Wood Dragon Pills,"
Claire introduced the pills in her hand.
"Wow! They are the Wood Dragon Pills!" Ricky exclaimed.
"Even if a saint sustains severe injuries, he can quickly recover with the help of the Wood Dragon Pill.
The warriors who haven't reached the Sage Level could even be resurrected after they eat the pill. The
main ingredient of the Wood Dragon Pill is the blood essence of the Life Wood Dragon at the Sage
Level, which is a Great Dragon.
That's why the pill is so powerful," Claire revealed.
"The pill contains the blood essence of the Life Wood Dragon!" Ricky repeated in surprise.
'The Life Wood Dragon is one of the five major kinds of Great Dragon from the Dragon tribe! This pill is
extremely very amazing!' he thought to himself in awe.
"Now, you know how precious these Wood Dragon Pills are. Unfortunately, only a few such pills exist at
present because the Dragon tribe has disappeared," Claire added with a regretful expression on her
face.
"These three pills are priceless. I'm afraid they are too much for me to accept easily. I must owe you
one more favor," Ricky remarked.
"Well, I don't mind geniuses like you owing me more favors," Claire answered with a smile as she threw
the pills at Ricky.
At once, Ricky took them gladly.
"I bet Claire gave you those pills because she felt bad for keeping you in the dark. It looks like she sees
you as more than a friend," the Dragon Intent Grass teased Ricky through telepathy.
"Shut up!" he responded flatly.
After that, Ricky stepped into the light that the king's inheritance gave off and began to accept it.
Of course, he just received and kept the inheritance. He didn't plan to master and comprehend all of it
here, as the Life and Death Relic was too dangerous to let down his guard.
As soon as the light engulfed him in its warm embrace, several words appeared in his mind.
It read, "This is the inheritance related to the heavenly illusion power."
"So this inheritance is about the heavenly illusion power, which is the top power of illusion. It looks like
the king was a top warrior in ancient times," the Dragon Intent Grass remarked reverently.
An hour later, Ricky had finally received all the inheritance.
Since he and Claire had accomplished what they came for, they soon left the palace.
'That wasn't a bad experience. I'm glad I gained a lot during my trip to the Life and Death Relic!' Ricky
thought to himself in a good mood.
