Davis nodded his head in understanding as the confusion cleared in his mind.

Low-Level Spirit Stones helped Law Seed Stage Cultivators increase their cultivation through refinement.

Likewise, Mid-Level Spirit Stones helped Law Manifestation Stage Cultivators increase their cultivation.

High-Level Spirit Stones helped Law Dominion Stage Cultivators increase their cultivation.

Peak-Level Spirit Stones helped Law Sea Stage Cultivators increase their cultivation and Peak-Level Spirit Stone were incredibly scarce since the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Mines are rare.

"Tell me, how can those Eighth Stage Experts afford to increase their cultivation while the resources are occupied by the Alstreim Family?"

Davis could only wryly shake his head.

If the Alstreim Family refused to reward or trade them with Peak-Level Spirit Stones, they could only import it from other territories or slowly increase their cultivations by tediously refining it on a daily basis, secluding themselves for years or even decades!

"As for the Alstreim Family, they occupied the entire Southwest region of the territory, enjoying rich resources while projecting their might over to the entire territory." Daniuis pointed at the southwest part of the map where it was full of forests and mountains, covered by the ocean a little bit of north from the southwest.

"This map is indeed not detailed..." Daniuis couldn't help but remark since he found many important locations not marked.

"Then that decides it. We'll go to the Ethren Empire then..."

Daniuis suddenly laughed in a wry tone, "The residences there probably cost an enormous sum of Mid-Level Spirit Stones or perhaps even a little bit of High-Level Spirit Stones. I suggest we settle in its Kingdoms so we can use an affordable amount of Mid-Level Spirit Stones to purchase the residence."

He had once had a sizeable amount of High-Level Spirit Stones but ever since he had been exiled, he never got to peak his past wealth.

Davis shook his head, "A few High-Level Spirit Stones are not a problem. Safety is the foremost requirement I'm willing to settle on..."

"This..." Daniuis turned hesitant. He didn't know the exact rates of the residences in the Ethren Empire's Capital, but he could guess that there should be some small landlords who are willing to accept a few High-Level Spirit Stones to sell their property.

Besides, the Kingdoms there are always attacked by Magical Beast Waves, so it is not safe when compared to the Empire's Capital City which has Low-Level or Mid-Level Emperor Grade Defences and Defensive Formations.

Once Daniuis thought of it like this, he accepted, "Alright."

"That settles it then! We're heading to the Ethren Empire's Capital." Davis announced and turned to look at the mountains which stretched to the skies for a few dozen kilometers.

Daniuis promptly saw Davis's confusion and pointed at the map with his index finger, "We are here..."

He pointed to a location where there were small mountains when compared to the ultra-large mountain markings on the map.

Davis's eyes twitched as he checked out the mountains beside them.

'This mountain's peak elevation is probably more than 15,000 meters but it is considered just a small mountain?'

'Then what about these ultra-large mountain markings? Will they be ascending through the heavens then?' He scoffed in his heart and shook his head but then turned to look towards Mulia's group.

A paper talisman appeared in his hand and he waved his hand. The paper talisman flew towards them, causing Mulia to abruptly to catch it.

"This..." She uttered, momentarily dumfounded.

"As requested, I have taken you three to the Alstreim Family Territory without many problems. By the deal we made, our cooperation ends here and as a sign of being sincere for the help you have given me by removing the tracking items from the looted spatial rings, I'll give you one of the Grand Elder's spatial talisman which will enable you to travel 5,000 kilometers in a few seconds."

...Mulia turned dazed and so did Hadian and Uncle Erik.

Momentarily, they were stunned. Just when they came out of their reverie did they indeed remember that they have asked Davis's group for help in getting to the Alstreim Family Territory.

Mulia, Hadian and Uncle Erik looked at each other. Now that they were here and the deal has ended, they were at a loss on what to do...

It was like they had forgotten about their plea for help, only following Davis like they had been following him for a long time.

Davis then turned to look at Princess Isabella while the latter turned confused.

A spatial talisman appeared in Davis's hand again and he presented it to Princess Isabella with his hand stretched, slightly flicking it for her to take.

Princess Isabella became stunned as she saw his gesture and turned even more confused and unsure, 'Why is he giving it to me? He should already know that I have a spatial talisman from the loot I gained.'

Indeed, from the Law Dominion Stage Cultivators of the Tripartite Alliance's Falling Snow Sect Faction, she obtained a spatial talisman. It was from the spatial ring of the one who had known about spatial fluctuations a lot, managing to pinpoint them as outsiders.

She recalled that the Elder's name was Valoi.

Davis should know that she had a spatial talisman since he was the one who had given her the spatial rings for her help in saving Lucia and the others.

Princess Isabella couldn't understand his intent.

"This is for you..." Davis uttered, causing Princess Isabella to be dumbfounded and after a silent pause, she heard him say.

"... and your help.".

"Oh..." Princess Isabella extended her hand and took spatial talisman from him and kept it in her spatial ring with a nod of her head.

When Davis uttered those words, he belatedly understood the nuance in those words, hence he added after a little pause.

However, he didn't know that these words "This is for you" brought a blush to Princess Isabella's face and even she herself didn't notice her blush other than feeling some warmth on her cheeks.

Unfortunately, Davis was not able to view this spectacular scene since Princess Isabella wore the joker mask he had given.

"We're out of danger now. So if you go to another region even without wearing the mask I gave you, no one will recognize you." He explained.

Princess Isabella blinked a second before realizing his meaning. He was telling her that if she wanted, she could leave from this group and temper herself in some other region.

"Our cooperation still stands. I still have much to learn from you in Soul Forging Cultivation." Princess Isabella uttered in a sincere tone.

Davis nodded his head as he expected this but even then, he wanted to her to stay within his inflated group selfishly because that would increase the prowess and security of the group.

Even if she decided to leave, he wanted to award Princess Isabella for her help with everything.

Without her, battling would've been much more difficult since Law Dominion Stage Cultivators could also instakill him if he were to be careless, just like how he would be able to kill them in an instant with Fallen Heaven.

Even if he didn't die, his group would've definitely met with a calamity, hence, Princess Isabella's presence was vital to their safety.

At that time in the cave hideout when he told her to save Daniuis, she instantly shot towards Daniuis to save him from five Law Dominion Stage Cultivators.

However, she rejected the loot gained from them, saying that she needed help to deal with the Arashi Family's Head secretly.

Honestly, he felt that he owed her quite a bit and that's why he thought of rewarding her efforts with a lifesaving method, a better spatial talisman than the one she previously possessed.
