Lord Of Martial Arts

Hamza was unconvinced. He said, "Why would that old man be willing to help us? As a matter of fact, he robbed a mine of our sect previously. I argued with him, but... Oh, forget it."

The sect leader was too embarrassed to finish his story. The truth was, he had been slapped several times by Kash for his impertinence.

"Well, there might be a way to convince him to help us," the Chief Elder said.

Hamza scowled. "Get to the point, damn it!"

"I've heard that Kash is very lustful," said the Chief Elder, turning red. "He is especially interested in girls with the phoenix-like bloodline."

He was referring to those who had an unusual bloodline, remarkably similar to the phoenix bloodline.

Hamza was unfazed. "I see. Where would we find such a girl?"

"I dare not say it," said the Chief Elder in a low voice, refusing to meet the sect leader's eyes.

Pleased with the results, Darren continued to refine the rest of the white metal in the box.

Several hours passed. Eventually, he consumed the entirety of the Celestial Sect's stash of white metal.

By the time he finished refining the last piece, however, Darren's Fate Character Tree was no longer growing in size. Instead, a scattering of lush purple branches and leaves sprouted on the top of the tree.

He was puzzled by this new development. 'Why didn't it upgrade? What are the purple branches and leaves?' he wondered.

He had estimated that his Fate Character Tree would upgrade to the fifth grade after absorbing all the white metal. However, except for the purple leaves on the top of the tree, the rest of the tree had not grown any further.

Although he was confused, he was not upset. He felt instinctively that the unusual purple branches and leaves had a significance he just didn't understand yet.

'If the purple branches and leaves on the top of the tree start to bloom and bear fruit, would the quality of the fruit also change?' he thought, excited by the possibilities.
