"A Grade 8 Fire-element Mana Stone?"

Rant Valo repeated in puzzlement. He doesn't have a clue what that is.

"It's something Mana Dominion stage cultivators use to cultivate. It's very expensive. I only have a couple thousand of them with me."

Floriana Sabina explained to Rant Valo.

"Wow! That sounds really rare."

Although Rant Valo still couldn't fathom the rareness of this gem, he could still understand that it was really a rare object to find. At least, that's what he understood from Floriana Sabina's words.

"Yes. That's why I'm surprised to find one stuck in the floor."

Floriana Sabina added. She simply used her powerful Fire-element cultivation to create this room. She didn't expect to find a Grade 8 Mana Stone of the same element here.

"Is this the effect of my magic technique?"

Rant Valo couldn't help but think so. After all, they had been sitting inside this room for a long time now. It was odd that they only found it now. The only plausible explanation was that Rant Valo's magic technique caused it.

"I think so, Disciple. Then this is the strength of your luck, huh?"

Floriana Sabina agreed. Rant Valo's luck was so overpowered that she could even find a Grade 8 Mana Stone randomly.

"I'm actually this lucky?"

Rant Valo looked at his own hands in disbelief. It certainly didn't feel that way for him. Though, he sure did luck out when he became Floriana Sabina's disciple.

"Master, doesn't that mean that you meeting me in that forest was also because of your luck?"

Veia couldn't help but think so. She had no memories of her past, and she was only wandering aimlessly when she found Floriana Sabina back then.

"You might be right, Veia."

Rant Valo had no choice but to agree with her words. Then, doesn't that mean that he was actually lucky all this time, and he just hadn't realized it? It gave Rant Valo chills.

Luck is such an elusive and strange power. You wouldn't know when it was doing its magic on you.

"Let's break your magic technique, Disciple. I don't feel that it's right that I take advantage of your luck. Who knows if this magic technique doesn't have any negative side effects?"

Floriana Sabina was not stupid. This kind of magic technique would surely have a side effect. They just didn't know about it now.

"I understand, Master Floriana."

Rant Valo nodded his head in understanding.

"Let's hold hands again."

Rant Valo grabbed Floriana Sabina's hands before closing his eyes.

"I'll pull out all of my mana that is inside you."

Rant Valo informed her before he stopped the flow of his mana inside her body. He then pulled it all out with the suction from his right hand.

"MmAh!"

Floriana Sabina couldn't help but let out a moan as the warm and pleasurable energy left her body.

"See! Grandmaster, Master's touch feels so good."

Veia couldn't help but prove her point when she saw Floriana Sabina moan after being touched by Rant Valo.

"..."

Floriana Sabina could not deny Veia's words. She could only hold her mouth tightly and avoid moaning anymore. Thankfully, Rant Valo was done a few seconds later.

"That should be it."

Rant Valo let go of Floriana Sabina's hand. He had already retrieved his mana that was inside her body.

"That was good, Disciple…"

Floriana Sabina murmured silently.

"Hm? Did you say something?"

Rant Valo perked his ears up. He thought that she said something to him.

"N-Nothing! Disciple, cultivate more!"

Floriana Sabina's face turned red. She turned around and faced away from him. She didn't know why those words came out of her mouth.

"Okay..?"

Rant Valo thought that she was acting weird. He shrugged his shoulders and read the cultivation manual before closing his eyes once more.

"Hey, Grandmaster. It was good, right?"

When Veia saw Rant Valo close his eyes, she nudged Floriana Sabina with her shoulders.

"Y-You! Perverted demon! W-What are you saying?"

Floriana Sabina's face turned redder after hearing Veia's words. She looked at her in a fluster.

"You felt good, right?"

Veia stared straight into Floriana Sabina's eyes. There was a suggestive look inside her eyes.

"I… I didn't…"

Floriana Sabina turned her head away from Veia. She didn't dare to admit it.

"Come on, Grandmaster. I don't mind sharing, Master."

Veia grinned licentiously at Floriana Sabina.

"Perverted demon! Go away!!"

Floriana Sabina's fan appeared on her hands once more, and she started smacking Veia with it. She didn't like where Veia's words were going.

"Ouch! I'm just joking, Grandmaster! I'll moan again! I'll moan again if you continue!"

Veia pleaded desperately. This time, Floriana Sabina's smacks had force in them. She was probably letting off her anger at Veia.

"Hmph! Moan louder, you perverted demon!! No one will hear you!"

Floriana Sabina flicked her fingers, and a small dome surrounded Rant Valo that kept the noise outside.

"I'm sorry!!"

Veia stood up and ran away. It was her only choice left as Floriana Sabina was not stopping.

"Hmph! Come here!"

Floriana Sabina ran after Veia. Though, for some reason, Floriana Sabina was not using her cultivation to catch Veia. She was barely reaching her with the fan.

They ran in circles around the room. As for Rant Valo, he was totally oblivious to what was happening outside. He just continued cultivating.

Listed for the 7th Mana Condensation stage, Diving Magpie.

Legend has it that a Magpie brings people luck. This magic technique summons an illusory magpie that will dive down from the sky and attack your enemy, from the bearer of luck to the protector of luck. That is the Diving Magpie.

When Rant Valo tried to do what was written in the cultivation manual, he realized that it was significantly harder than the previous ones. This magic technique actually required him to circulate his mana in a very complex pattern.

Even so, Rant Valo didn't give up. In his opinion, this was just a small challenge. As this would be his first attack magic technique, Rant Valo wanted to learn it no matter what. The previous ones were almost useless in combat, after all.

An hour later, Rant Valo opened his eyes. There was a confident smile hanging on his face.
