The minute Ricky set foot in his cultivation place, he heard Lloyd's familiar voice echo in his Soul Sea. Not long after, Lloyd appeared out of thin air looking at Ricky.
"Elder Lloyd, I'm going to cultivate in private. What brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?" Ricky asked.
"Oh, don't play dumb with me! Don't tell me you are not aware that I cultivate the wood power as well." After gathering the courage to swallow his pride, he made a request. "Come on. Give me two balls of that green fire."
"Ha-ha! I thought that a powerful being like you would never need this flame. Looks like I am mistaken," Ricky teased.
"Stop that! Quit teasing me!" Lloyd said as his face darkened in annoyance, pretending to be offended.
Ricky stopped making fun of the elder after seeing his irritated face. Afterwards, he pulled out two flaming balls of life fire straight from the Life and Death Fire and handed them over to Lloyd.
"I hope you don't mind, Elder Lloyd. But why do you want two balls of this kind of fire?" Ricky asked out of interest.
"I need two of those because I will give one to Ashley. Wait, don't tell me that you're having second thoughts about me giving one to her?" Lloyd said as he stared at Ricky.
"Ha-ha! Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want her to get one. It's just that I have already tried giving her the peculiar fire before, but she refused to take it," Ricky replied dejectedly.
"Oh, goodness, that's tough. Why can't you get on well with her?" Lloyd said, sounding a little bit helpless.
"But I just have to say it, you impress me. You even have mastered the brilliant Justice Skill, and even got your hands on the Massacring Sand, sacred fire, and peculiar fire, to name a few. If there's anything, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for helping our sect. I mean it."
"Well, it's my pleasure, Elder Lloyd. After all, you let me keep the Five-element Flag and help me refine it. I am grateful that you trust me. Of course, I must do something to help our sect. Hayes, Mordechai, and Ashley are loyal to our sect, and I know for a fact that they would never do anything to betray it. That's why I am willing to give them some things to help them grow stronger. I'll be helping for the sake of our sect,"
Ricky replied in all honesty.
But of course, what he said was not meant to please Lloyd in any manner, for he only wanted his truth to be heard.
On the other hand, Ricky decided to help Hayes, Mordechai, and Ashley not because he wanted them to help him in the future, but rather to repay the kindness that Lloyd had shown to the Five-element Sect.
Ultimately, Ricky didn't like owing anything to others. To him, he would repay anyone who lent him a hand during difficult times.
"Well, as it turns out, I'm right about you, you know," Lloyd remarked.
He could tell that Ricky was telling him the truth.
If he didn't care about the Five-element Sect, then he wouldn't have shared tips and other helpful things with others just to help them win the upcoming contest.
After finishing his words, Lloyd left, and Ricky had the chance to finally begin his cultivation.
Nothing could break his focus as he aspired to break through and become a three-star lower spiritual emperor and acquire more eternal power.
Generally speaking, the eternal power was believed to be very special. Despite having six zones and the mysterious chromatic energy, Ricky was still unable to transform this energy into eternal power because he was not that strong enough to do it.
Surely, it was possible for the chaotic power to be transformed into the eternal power. However, this would cost him a lot of chaotic power just to obtain a small amount of eternal power.
Therefore, he thought that the best way to do this was to condense the eternal power himself or gather it during his explorations.
However, condensing the eternal power was no easy task, too.
"I hope this helps. You can create several shadowy replicas and allow them to condense the eternal power in the Massacring Zone," the Dragon Intent Grass proposed.
"Yes, I am aware of that, but I can, at most, create three shadowy replicas at the same time. I find it very impossible to stay focused if I make more replicas than that. If I want to reach a higher level, I will need to stay focused. The most crucial thing for me right now is to focus on improving my grade. I have always known that my cultivation level is my waterloo,"
Ricky replied with a slight frown.
After three months,
all of the Sage Level warriors in the Middle Land had already prepared themselves for the Territory Battle.
