Caspian beamed and said, “That’s your equal cut.”
“Equal cut?” Maya was taken aback by Caspian’s action and hurriedly tried to pass the bags back to Caspian.
“No, I can’t take this.”
An equal cut of 100,000 fedulings and 720 spirit stones meant that she would have 50,000 fedulings and over 300 spirit stones.
To an outer disciple like Maya, this was a shocking amount of money.
It would be impossible not to feel overwhelmed by it.
However, Maya knew that she played no part in what happened earlier.
In other words, Caspian would have easily terrorized and extorted the Simmons men without her presence.
Now that Caspian was giving her half of his loot, her first reaction was to decline his offer because she did not lift a finger.
“Both of us worked for it.
Of course you’d get your share,” Caspian said, then shoved the bags back into Maya’s arms.
Maya could not argue with Caspian, and decided to accept the money.
“What about me?” Handsome chirped softly into Caspian’s ear.
“I might not have lent a hand, but I had to suffer, too.
Since you didn’t give me the two corpses earlier, you should give me some kind of compensation.”
“I suppose,” Caspian said with a nod.
“I’ll get the spirit jade out later and… Let you take a long, good look at it.”
Handsome began to smile upon Caspian’s agreeing tone, but the sharp turn in his words upset him to the point that he almost fell off of Caspian’s shoulder.
Even so, Caspian did not forget about Handsome.
He would never give the spirit jade to Handsome.
While they were resting, Caspian handed over a few spirit stones to the little white pig as a small consolation for his broken heart.
Handsome was not one to hold a grudge.
The second he received the spirit stones from Caspian, he forgot all about his earlier tantrum.
That night, Caspian pulled out the jade scroll containing the Walk on Air spell.
He figured that it was impossible for him to pick up another type of sorcery at this point, but it would not hurt to take a look and have a better understanding of it.
After all, the spell’s name made it sound like an advanced, powerful one.
Even if he could not pick it up, Maya still could.
Caspian had found out from Maya before that she only mastered innate sorcery at that point.
In other words, while she was in the Pulse Control Realm, she could still pick up two more types of sorcery.
Caspian realized his ignorance after studying the Walk on Air spell.
Not only could he learn the spell, he could easily manifest it. This was not because Caspian was a genius and once again surpassed the Pulse Control Realm cultivator limit of mastering three types of sorcery.
Instead, the Walk on Air spell was simply too pitiful.
As long as one is able to control their spiritual Chi, a pig that possesses some spiritual aura, let alone a trained cultivator, would be able to master and manifest the spell.
It was neither an offensive nor a defensive type of spell.
It was not even a detection spell.
No matter how much Caspian thought about it, he could not figure out exactly what category the Walk on Air spell would fall into.
The reason was simple.
Manifesting the spell would only allow a cultivator to float about a fist’s width off the ground.
The distance of which one is able to travel in that way would depend on a cultivator’s spiritual Chi.
Categorizing floating off the ground at such a low height as flying made Caspian feel embarrassed.
