Night soon fell, and back at the inn, Grace’s team of guards returned to their rooms to rest after dinner. However, just to be safe, two groups stayed behind to patrol the area.
They had been physically and mentally exhausted during their time in the Deadlands. Now that they’ve come out from that place, they could finally get a good night’s sleep.
In one of the rooms on the second floor, Dustin took a refreshing hot bath before sitting on the bed with his eyes closed to recuperate. Their mission this time was finally complete.
As for the treasures, Dustin was not slightly interested in them. All he took was a bottle of Soul Elixir. He had never tried it before, and he was purely curious about the taste.
At his level, he would not be able to benefit greatly from it.
Not to mention, he still possessed the greatest treasure in the martial world, the Celestial Pearl, which allowed him to cultivate at an astonishing speed. That was why he wasn’t particularly crazy about the Soul Elixir.
In fact, consuming too much Soul Elixir could burden the body. In a sense, it was a way to prematurely use up the body’s potential.
Although Soul Elixir could boost cultivation and help in breaking through the realms in a short amount of time, it was an unstable advancement.
Without the proper conditioning, they would easily go to extremes in training. Moreover, they would be weaker than those who achieved a breakthrough through their own efforts.
However, these drawbacks were often overshadowed by the benefits of Soul Elixir. Just the fact that it could enhance cultivation and extend one’s lifespan was enough to make it an irresistible temptation.
After all, it was a challenge for many martial artists to achieve a significant breakthrough in their lives.
Using the Soul Elixir to break through the realms and enhance their cultivation would be like a dream come true.
With his eyes still closed, Dustin heard a knock on the door. Opening it, he was greeted by Sophia, wearing a charming smile.
She was dressed in a silver miniskirt and showcased her long and slender legs adorned in black pantyhose. Her makeup accentuated her beauty, giving her a seductive allure.
Sophia already had an above-average figure and appearance. After taking extra care to enhance her looks, she looked even better, radiating an irresistible charm.
“Are you looking for me?” Dustin scrutinized Sophia, betraying no emotion.
While she was attractive, she still fell short compared to the top ten stunning women on the Beauty Ranking. Grace, in particular, held an unparalleled charm even without revealing her face.
“Dustin, I have something to talk to you about. Can I come in for a moment? “Sophia asked with a smile. She tucked strands of hair behind her ear as she spoke, adding a seductive touch to her movements.
“Sorry, it’s not convenient inside. If you have something to say, let’s discuss it here,” Dustin replied impassively.
“It’s not convenient?” Sophia blinked suggestively. “Are you hiding someone inside and are afraid others might see?”
“Sophia, I’m a little tired and would like to rest early. If you have something to say, please go ahead.” Dustin maintained his indifference.
“Come on, don’t be so cold.” Sophia appeared aggrieved.
She continued, “Can’t you sense my intentions when I’m here this late at night? From the first moment I met you, I’ve been captivated by your unparalleled charm. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is you. Tell me, what should I do?”
