"Master, Shauna promises that no matter what happens she will complete this mission with everything she has got. I would rather die than come back without completing the mission.
Shauna is also very grateful for the master's trust and benevolence for giving Shauna the opportunity to break through the Shackled realm in the future from the bottom of my heart!!"
Shauna said with tears flowing through her eyes.
"Get up! I will forgive your action now as you are under me, but never keel before anybody ever again, this is the dignity people under my command should have, do you understand!!" Knave ordered.
He never liked anyone kneeling as this went against someone's basic dignity given to him by his parents. As Shauna was already his servant he wanted her to have the same kind of thoughts as he had towards such matters.
"Yes, Master!" Shauna hurriedly got up when she saw the seriousness in her Master's voice, but she didn't know what she did wrong.
"You should never kneel before anyone other than the heaven, your teacher and your parents. I know you didn't have this kind of knowledge thought to you so I will forget this incident.
As for what you said I will only say this, as long as you follow my orders then not only will I help you reach the Spirit refining Realm but in the future the Form embodiment realm can also be reached, this is my promise to you.
As long as you work under me with all your heart and complete all the missions given and do not betray me than the things I promised are within your reach. Is that understood!" Knave asked.
"Yes, Master! Shauna will always follow the Master's command with all her heart and soul!!" Shauna promised again.
"Good! Go, complete your mission as fast as possible and return safe" Knave said.
After hearing his final command Shauna quickly went out from his abode and vanished into the night sky.
Seeing her fleeting silhouette Knave could only wish in his heart that everything goes well and then resume with his body cultivation.
For the next week, Knave went through his daily schedule without any hiccup.
The very first day after Shauna had gone away with the jade box he had thought that elder Fryer would have asked him about it as he could sense the box's location even without the key.
But the elder didn't ask anything and kept on with his regular pill concoction and giving some lessons in between upon any questions that he had on the books.
In this week he didn't have any interaction with Manuel and Ross, it seemed like they were avoiding him for some reason. He knew that they were just trying to adjust themselves to how to talk to him.
Still the second day in the week they had sent John to send the reply that they had received his message and also that both of them an urgent matter that would require them some time to complete.
He didn't mind all this and continued with his cultivation, in this one week with the help of the increased cultivation time and the high tier pills he had already solidified his breakthrough into the fourth shackle and was almost about to breakthrough the mid-tier of the fourth shackle.
Today like any other day he was cultivating his body with the help of his spirit soul as well a the poison left from the pill when suddenly he could feel an unprecedented change in his body cultivation meridians.
The poison energy all over his body suddenly started to move towards the seventh Meridian channel, leading to his breakthrough.
He had been at the sixth stage of the mortal body for the last two weeks, according to the normal speed of his spirit soul and the poison present in the previous pills it would have taken him at least a month for him to reach this stage.
But because of the increase in time brought by last week as well as the higher tier pills used in the past two weeks his anticipated time for breakthrough had been cut by half.
