CHAPTER 747 MYSTERY OF THE EVIL POWER
Beside, Rocky wanted to take this opportunity to adapt to the evil power sealed in the spiritual soul
container. He knew that though the power sealed by the spiritual soul container was being suppressed,
it could circulate together with the normal spiritual power in the body, without affecting the body. It could
also be released at a critical time when he needed to improve his strength rapidly in a short period. But,
of course, he knew it would be risky to enhance his strength that way, so he needed to identify the limit
to the amount of evil power he could bear. In that way, his power would be advanced to a new stage.
After fighting against Alston, Rocky felt that although the Holy Dragon Bead's evil power was extremely
powerful, it was not something the human body could bear. For now, he could only release the sealed
power in the third layer, but after that, there was still the fourth layer, and then the fifth layer, and so on.
There was no doubt that the next layer would be even more powerful than the previous one, but the
danger was that this power was unbearable for human beings.
And so, even though Rocky was lucky enough to survive this time, he still had some scruples about the
evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead. And more than that, he didn't have Sabina beside him to help, so
he couldn't release the fourth layer of the seal yet. Otherwise, his body would be unable to bear the
great power, and it could break down.
Thus, the first step for Rocky was to merge with the sealed power in the third layer. Now, this wasn't
something that could be achieved simply by words, but would take a lot of time and effort. This was
also one of the reasons why he chose to cross the desert in the future.
Rocky had been wandering around the auction house for a while, and he was beginning to feel bored,
so he decided to go back to the beast farm. But just as he reached the first floor, a commotion was
heard from the gate of the Magical Beast House. "Have all the members of the Magical Beast House
been killed? Is anybody here?"
Rocky immediately looked out and saw that a tall, black-bearded man was standing at the entrance. He
had a fierce look on his face, and on his hands was a dying infant spirit-manipulated beast. Although
Rocky didn't know whether the beast on his hand was injured or ill, he could tell by the sight that it
wasn't very promising.
Soon, an employee from the house approached him, but the black-bearded man only pushed him away
and shouted, "I want to see your butler, Willie!" owns this text.
Immediately, the staff knew that this wasn't something he could handle himself, so he hastily ran back
and called for help.
It wasn't long before Willie appeared. He glanced at the black-bearded man and noticed that his
strength was at the Earthly Stage, so he tried to be polite and asked demurely, "Do you need anything,
sir?"
"Of course, I need something. If not, why would I come here? I bought this infant Heaven Prestigious
Tiger from your Magical Beast House the day before yesterday, but now, it's dying! What will you do
about this?" The man was so furious that he was almost frothing at the mouth, and he threw the cub at
Willie directly.
Willie caught it haphazardly, fumbling, as the Heaven Prestigious Tiger was quite heavy despite being a
cub. When he recovered from his fumbling, he immediately stepped back, and his face reddened with
anger.
"Hey you! What are you doing there? Come here and help!" Willie, with a livid face, noticed Rocky at
the stairs and shouted at him.
Rocky looked at him with his eyebrows raised as if he was surprised to be called out. He hesitantly
approached and took the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger from Willie's arms.
"Sir, I will ask our beast curer to check it out for you right away," Willie said with an apologetic smile on
his face. He winked at Rocky indicating him to follow them, and then he immediately led the man along
the long corridor on the right side of the gate.
Rocky followed behind them meekly, with the baby tiger in his arms, as they entered a room for
honored guests.
"Put it on the table," Willie said as he gestured for Rocky to come closer.
Rocky gently laid down the cub on the table. As he turned around to leave, Willie stopped him with a
shout. "You're not allowed to leave. Wait there."
Rocky almost raised an eyebrow in surprise at Willie's shout, but he proceeded to the corner anyway
and stood near the window.
Then, just as a maid served the black-bearded man a cup of tea, an ordinary-looking man entered the
room.
"Neil," Willie greeted the man and immediately pulled him closer to the cub. "This spirit-manipulated
beast needs urgent care. Can you check it out?"
Neil was one of the beast curers in the Magical Beast House. He wasn't very good, but he could treat
minor injuries and diseases. He nodded at Willie, as he began to check the baby Heaven Prestigious
Tiger in silence. However, he felt it strange that the cub had no sign of injury or illness.
"Neil, what's the matter with it?" Willie asked after a while.
Neil shook his head at Willie, a resigned expression on his face. It seemed that he wasn't good enough
to find out what was wrong with the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger.
Rocky, who was standing in the corner of the room, grimaced inwardly, as he studied the infant Heaven
Prestigious Tiger intently. He could tell that it was in a critical condition at that moment, and if the beast
curer couldn't figure out what was wrong, it would surely die.
Of course, Rocky already knew what was wrong with it, as he had checked it out when he was asked to
hold it earlier. In between the short period that he was asked to hold it, as they walked to the room, he
had already determined the reason. But he didn't say anything because he didn't want to interfere, as
that could arouse their suspicion, or at the worst, they could figure out his secret identity.
"I thought the spirit-manipulated beasts bought from you were of authentic quality, and yet you sold me
a dying one! You promise that if one fake beast is sold, you will give ten beasts as compensation. Well,
I paid one thousand taels of silver coins for it, so you better pay me back ten thousand taels!" The
black-bearded man was livid, as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will send for a more competent curer to come here," said Willie. His voice
trembled, as cold sweat broke out from his pores. That sum of money was so huge. And he could tell
that there was something suspicious about the black-bearded man, but without any evidence, he
couldn't do anything to him. At that moment, he was desperate to find out what was wrong with the cub,
especially since he was in danger of losing such a big amount. Ten thousand taels of silver coins were
quite a lot for compensation after all.
A short while passed, and two more beast curers came into the room by Willie's request, but they still
found nothing wrong with the cub.
