Chapter 1185: Chapter 364: Fox Immortal Essence, Hephaestus’s Broken Hand, Bandaged Arm_2 Chapter 1185: Chapter 364: Fox Immortal Essence, Hephaestus’s Broken Hand, Bandaged Arm_2 “A huge boost in skill?”

Leonard Churchill was truly tempted.

His Fighter Professional Sequence required a large accumulation of Skill Attribute, and Martial Skills would only improve as a result; plus, he had considered advancing to the Sixth Tier on the career path of a Puppet Master, which entailed using the Multi-Heart and Multi-Use strategy, making him have a direct need for Skill Attribute materials.

The broken hand before him seemed tailor-made.

However, the moment he saw the material, a reversal suddenly emerged in Leonard Churchill’s mind, which was always assessing the situation.

Once Mushroomhead had said, when coincidences happen one after another, there is no need to doubt that they are a script crafted just for you.

These things were not to be taken lightly; those guys were really coming for him.

Thinking this, Leonard Churchill looked at the jar containing the broken hand and grinned.

…

Clearly, this setup was not just targeting Sophia Jones.

By following along and getting on the caravan, someone had also set their sights on him.

Among the Immortal Aegis Animals, there were those adept at Mysterious Type methods like Prophecy and Divination.

It was not entirely impossible for someone to guess his needs.

Moreover, the several Sixth Tier materials the peddler had taken out, including those for close combat, Magic Type, and Mysterious Type, seemed appealing to anyone looking at them.

“The heritage of a millennia-old family really shouldn’t be underestimated…”

Leonard Churchill inwardly sighed.

What he didn’t know was that the Neon they were in was actually one of the White Family’s treasuries.

Since they were after him, Leonard Churchill stopped disguising his interest and said directly, “This hand is nice.”

The peddler listened and snorted coldly, reluctantly placing the bet on the table.

Although the bet seemed to pit the Three Idle Families against Leonard Churchill, the idle one, it was actually winner takes all.

The Immortal Aegis Animals were also vying for supremacy.

With the peddler’s chips put down, others also started to place their bets.

Scarface’s bet was the God-stealing Ring.

Leonard Churchill looked on, helpless; the only way to get the ring back now was to win.

He had already invested a good deal as bait, and now every item on the table was a Supreme Treasure; common wares wouldn’t suffice anymore.

The sultry vixen called Kestrel beside him also became distressed.

She looked at Leonard Churchill, pressing her delicate body against him once more.

The charm of Sophia Jones was seductive yet not vulgar.

But this Kestrel was literally wearing seduction on her face.

However, such vulgar charm, enhanced by Immortal Spirit Qi, could still trigger the most primal desires.

The lady didn’t care that her soft flesh was already being distinctly felt through her thin clothes by Leonard Churchill, nor did she mind the gazes of others, saying, “If you lose, how about I accompany you for a night, big brother?”

Truly, to indulge with a creature of the Immortal Aegis Animals would not be without its benefits.

Leonard Churchill was already enchanted, his vitality and blood agitated.

To others, the prospect of accepting such a tempting bet might be irresistible.

But physical reactions aside, other thoughts in his mind wouldn’t allow it, and without even giving her another glance, he simply reminded her, “Miss, only tangible chips are accepted at the table…”

Kestrel, hearing this, had a hint of surprise in her luminous eyes.

She glanced at Leonard Churchill’s body’s reaction beneath the table and thought: How can he still refuse like this?

It felt as though the body and mind were acting on their own.

She enjoyed the advantage, yet her mouth simply wouldn’t say yes.

Kestrel’s eyes shifted, and her thwarted charm found no place to settle.

She turned to look at Sophia Jones inside the seat, as if she had guessed something, and tauntingly said, “Oh~ So that sister hasn’t let you have a taste yet. Handsome, do you not know about our White Family’s Immortal Spirit Dual Cultivation Secret Skill? Giggling, you’re really too boring…”

Saying so, as if to give herself an out, she added, “You should know, sister’s cultivation is not shallow~ I won’t let you feel ‘more than your money’s worth’.”

Sophia Jones listened with an unchanged expression.

Leonard Churchill also continued to ignore her.

Whether he could spend a night or not was uncertain; he wouldn’t accept empty promises and urged again, “If no one else is betting, we’ll begin.”

Seeing Leonard Churchill unmoved, Kestrel finally sighed in resignation and raised her bet, “If I lose, how about betting a century of Essence cultivation to you?”

This was a real benefit indeed.

Just like the Undead Spirit, the Immortal Aegis Animals progressed slowly in cultivation, but a century of Essence could easily surpass years of human cultivation.

Leonard Churchill then showed some interest, “I only take tangible goods.”

Kestrel, seeing she couldn’t persuade him, stiffened for a moment, then with a pinch in the Void, a card with a sealed pattern of immortal clouds appeared in her hand.

[Century Spirit Card of the Immortal Fox]

Details: Can be directly absorbed from the Essence Card, significantly enhancing Mental Power, improving proficiency in Illusion Technique, enhancing proficiency in Mental series Secret Skills;

This was as valuable as the Energy Crystal Core, something genuinely beneficial.

Upon absorption, one could become stronger.

The only downside was, sealed with a century of Essence, that Immortal Aegis might suffer more than a century’s loss of cultivation.

Leonard Churchill looked satisfied, “Good!”

Kestrel wasn’t offended but sighed, “What a pity, you don’t know the joy you’re missing~”

Leonard Churchill was entirely unfazed, declaring, “Place your bets, discard the unwanted!”

Three Idle Families had bet, two of them, and some individual bettors as well.

…

At this moment, a rat-faced thief sitting diagonally across from Leonard Churchill scratched his ears and cheeks in distress.

The Life Pattern of the God Thief Professional Sequence seemed destined not to accumulate “wealth.”

The more exquisite the craft, the emptier the pocket.

If one could actually accumulate wealth, they wouldn’t be a thief anymore.

He had no treasures to offer.

All he had was his God Thief skill.

Hearing Leonard Churchill’s urging, the poor fellow, in his frenzy, did a gesture and a card appeared in his hand, slapping it onto the table, “Bet on this!”

This was the top skill from the bottom of his box.
