Chapter 52 The Surprising And Precious Gifts From Marcia (Part Two)

When Marcia saw Uriah, she was quite stunned by its size and asked in surprise, "Is it that little guy I saw last time? Why it has grown to such a big beast, and its power has leapt from one-star to three- star? Could it be because you fed it the whole yellow spiritual crystal?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Rocky didn't deny the fact and nodded.

"Are you out of your mind? How could you feed the entire yellow spiritual crystal to a war beast that hadn't reached the level of one-star? Do you want to kill it?" Marcia snarled. She was really mad at Rocky as Uriah could have died after taking the yellow spiritual crystal.

"Don't worry! Uriah is quite healthy now!" Rocky spoke in a surprised tone. He never expected that Marcia would be mad at him because of Uriah.

"It is also my fault. I should have told you how to use the yellow spiritual crystal correctly. Luckily, it is fine now, otherwise…" Marcia hesitated to complete her sentence. "Unexpectedly, the yellow spiritual crystal has completely drawn out its potential. It's a pity that I am not a beast evaluator, or else I could have helped to evaluate the potential of your beast," Marcia added with a guilty look on her face. She seemed to be quite fond of Uriah.

"I might do a wrong thing, but you see, the result is good. Thanks to your spiritual crystal, Uriah has been able to grow bigger and more powerful. And for this I am sure, my war beast would like to thank you personally," Rocky told Marcia and yelled out to Uriah, "Uriah, she is your benefactor! You should express your appreciation to her now!"

As soon as Rocky finished speaking, Uriah seemed to have understood his words. At once, it jumped up and leaned against Marcia. It stuck out its tongue and began licking Marcia's face.

"No...! Stop licking me! Stop that!" Marcia was bewildered and at a loss by such a sudden and enthusiastic form of appreciation. Moreover, she was tickled by Uriah's licking, so she kept chuckling.

At that moment, she was so happy, completely different from her apathy a moment ago. To Rocky, her smile was like spring flowers and flowing water, so natural that it warmed his heart. Marcia, as a high level official of the Holy Dragon Empire, seldom had such a relaxed moment.

The scene in front of Rocky was like a real-life version of beauty and the beast. He held his hands in front of his chest and watched the scene with great interest, while the corners of his mouth curved into an evil smile.

After Marcia patted and placated the excited Uriah, she immediately glared at Rocky and scolded, "You did it on purpose, right? So, you can have a good laugh at me! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

"If you wanted to kill me, you could have done it long time ago. Based on your high rank, you need a simple excuse to kill me. Nobody would dare to say anything about it and you will never be convicted or punished. Yet, since you didn't kill me earlier, I don't think you'll kill me after seeing my lovely Uriah," Rocky replied with a calm face.

Marcia was taken aback by his words, but she kept herself calm. She never thought that Rocky could analyze her mind so thoroughly and correctly. Still, he did not know that the real reason he was not being killed by her was that he had the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. The power was of great importance to her, so she could not kill Rocky. Moreover, she had to protect Rocky and keep him safe. She had to help him grow stronger until he could activate the real power of his Holy Dragon Bead.

Rocky still owed her, and whether to kill him or not in the future depended on her mood and the situation then.

On the other hand, Rocky was totally unaware that the decision of his life and death had been made by Marcia within a few minutes. Fortunately, he was safe for the time being.

After a few blinks of her beautiful eyes, Marcia seemed to have made up her mind about something. Rocky saw her use her spiritual power to open the Magic Spiritual Space. At once, she took a

brownish-red round bead out of it, and slowly spoke, "This spiritual power gathering crystal can be used to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Thus, when it's used for cultivation, you can get two-fold improvement in your cultivation with only half the effort." Saying so, she handed over the spiritual power gathering crystal to Rocky.

If any senior spirit manipulators were present there, their jaws would have dropped at the sight of such a scene. It was unbelievable because the spiritual power gathering crystal was one of the rarest and at the highest level of spiritual crystals. It was almost thought to be extinct. In the whole Holy Dragon Empire, there were only two such rare crystals. One was offered to Rocky moments ago. The other was in Bryant's hand, but it had been passed to his granddaughter, Shirley long time ago. In addition to Shirley's incomparable talent, the rare crystal was the vital reason that her power kept improving faster than her peers.

If the role of the magical saliva was to increase the amount of a cultivator's spiritual power, then the role of spiritual power gathering crystal was to strengthen his spiritual power. Thus, getting such a rare crystal free of charge, was no doubt like winning a great lottery for Rocky. He never thought he would be so lucky.

Realizing that Marcia didn't kill him, but offered him an extremely precious treasure, Rocky raised his eyebrows and took it without any hesitation. He thought of it as a favor that she was returning to him as he had offered her two bottles of magical saliva.

"And these three yellow spiritual crystals are for the small… No, I should say, it is for the big guy now..." Marcia continued as she delivered them to Rocky. He hadn't yet recovered from his ecstasy after getting the free and rare gift, i.e. the spiritual power gathering crystal from Marcia. Upon that she was giving three yellow spiritual crystals to him. Surprised at her gesture, he felt he would faint with such big surprises.

"All right," Rocky replied lightly and took them as well. Despite the confusion and the mix of emotions he felt inside, he looked rather calm outside.

"Well, there is one more thing..." Marcia thought for a while and asked, "Tell me, what's the nature of your dragon spiritual power?"
