The legendary warrior novel Chapter 88

The grandmaster of the Sage Faction, having witnessed the disorderly behavior between the two, decided to interject. "Enough!" she boomed authoritatively. Lyndon dropped Ricky's collar as he calmed himself from his burst of anger. Ricky was fortunate that the grandmaster was around to subdue the situation. Lyndon was from the family of Greenhill -- known to be one of the best in the field of martial arts. It would be problematic for Ricky should he cross the line with this person without bearing any consequences.

They both knew that they wouldn't want to be an embarrassment in front of the demi-immortal. Lyndon gave Ricky a threatening look and said, "You'd better stay in the Shui Clan for as long as you can. Once you left the front door of this house, you'll suffer the consequences."

After being shamelessly intimidated, Lyndon thought it best to leave the house of Shui family. He decided to leave with his pride intact. After packing his bags, he walked away without looking back.

The situation back there was getting uncomfortable and disturbing for his own taste. He also noticed that the menacing remarks and the underhanded commentaries was making everyone uneasy. Walking away from the situation was definitely the wisest thing to do.

At last, the competition in the house of Shui was finally over. As the winner of the competition, the Purity Faction gained control over the Billow City. This paved the way to Ricky's fame in the family--everyone knew his name after the victory.

Through Ricky's fame, the rumors spread like wildfire. People even believed that Ricky and Agnes were in love with each other.

Ricky and Agnes were both equally tired after the match so they decided to return to the Purity Faction's courtyard. As soon as they set foot in the courtyard, the faction's grandmaster summoned them to her practice palace.

For the longest time, Ricky only had descriptions of the grandmaster in his head. He never really knew what she truly looked like. But now, he was finally going to meet her in person. Arriving in the palace, he was mildly surprised that she looked slightly different from what he had pictured.

The grandmaster was a charming mature woman. She was statuesque and had defined facial features that only showed beauty. There was strength and wisdom in her eyes and a proud carriage shown in her jutting jaw line. There were few wrinkles that graced her visage but she was undeniably beautiful for her age -- the kind that would made men swoon over her.

"Grandmaster!" Both the warriors greeted the grandmaster with respect. Agnes entered the palace and Ricky followed suit.

"Well, you must be the disciple of the Snow Sect, young fierce warrior Ricky!" The grandmaster said as she fixed her eyes on Ricky.

"Please, grandmaster, just call me by my name. I'm too embarrassed to be called like that," Ricky said shyly.

"Good. You are very polite and modest!" She praised him again.

"Ricky, I've called you here to show gratitude and to fulfill my promise!" The elder continued.

The grandmaster turned her palms over and pulled out two fruits from her Storage Ring. Ricky noticed that these fruits contained a lot of moisture and he could instantly sense the huge amounts of energy even from afar.

"Oh my goodness! That's the Water Vitality Fruit" Agnes said with a shock look on her face. She had already heard of the fruit since everyone talked about it.

"Yes, they are. They're Water Vitality Fruit, intermediate Treasures from Heaven and Earth. If taken and refined properly, it can help warriors at the inferior and intermediate stage of Blood Purification to move up a level without taking the risk of sequel!" The elder nodded.

"Wow! Intermediate Treasures from Heaven and Earth! Move up a level?" Ricky exclaimed as he was dumb struck with how magical and powerful the fruit was.

In the Snow Sect, he had chosen an Ice Ganoderma Lucidum, which was also an intermediate Treasure from Heaven and Earth. He was thankful that the grandmaster of the Purity Faction was generous enough to give him another treasure at the same level.

'Is it so important to help her gain control over the Billow City?' Ricky wondered.

Ricky did not have any idea that the control over the Billow City would go to either side with the same result. The grandmaster lured him with the treasure just to get close to him. She wanted to win him over to join the Shui Clan.

Without hesitation, Ricky agreed to accept one of the Water Vitality Fruits.

He grabbed the fruit and thanked the grandmaster. To Ricky, it would make him a hypocrite if he refused such treasure.

"Well, Ricky, I have another gift for you. Take five of these Water Miraculous Pills! " The grandmaster reached for the Storage Ring again and retrieved five clear pills and handed them over to Ricky.

"Does the Water Miraculous Pill also contribute to the promotion of practice?" Ricky asked as he took the pills.

"No, it doesn't." "It's a medium meditative pill," Agnes explained. "It improves the warrior's spirit and energy for a period of time."

"To be taken in combat, the energy boost will help the warrior increase his combat strength by at least 10 percent. If taken during a breakthrough, the energy boost will help the warrior increase his chances by around 20 percent."
