Chapter 2933: Aligned Interests

"Didn't you say you lived near the mountain range?" Rean asked back, curious. "Yes," Rosa confirmed. "But I've never said he lived in the mountain range."

Rean nodded. "Oh, that's right. Then point out on the map where we should go."

Rosa followed the orders, and the twins finally went in the right direction. Rosa's friend didn't live in the mountain range, but it wasn't far from that. The Sun Urpin Race usually live in places with a lot of sunlight, but that doesn't mean they can't live in other places. Several hours later, the twins' group arrived at Donnel City, another city near the Hunfdrer Mountain Range. It wasn't a big city, probably no more than a few tens of thousands of people. At the very center, there was a huge tower that extended hundreds of meters.

"We can go straight to the tower, seniors," Rosa spoke. "My friend lives at the very top." Rean and Roan looked at each other before looking back at Rosa. "This friend of yours seems quite well off."

"He definitely is," Rosa seemed happy to speak of him. "Of course, compared to cultivators, it isn't anything impressive. But for the mortal world, he managed well."

Rean and Roan landed on a platform by the side of the tower's top. A moment later, a wave of heat came from inside the tower, enveloping the two. Finally, a Sun Urpin Spirit flew off the tower... then another one, and another, and another... "That's a lot more than one friend, don't you think?"

Rosa smiled. "Don't worry. My friend likes to give other members of his race a place to live." She then concentrated her Spiritual Energy in her voice. "Klifon, it's me, Rosa!"

"Hum?" Another heat wave came from the tower before a bigger Sun Urpin flew out. He quickly landed near the twins and Rosa, surprised. "Oh! And here I thought those guys from Parton came to cause trouble again." Immediately, the heat waves from the Sun Urpins stopped.

Rosa quickly ran to the front and hugged the Spirit, who was pretty much as big as her. "Sorry to bother you. The elders of my sect were looking for someone from the Sun Urpin Race, so I thought about you."

"Elders?" Klifon looked around, trying to find someone who looked old. "Are they coming later?"

"Ahem..." Rosa scratched the back of her head before pointing at the twins. "These are the elders from the Gondel Clan, Tom and Jerry. They just so happened to save my life while we were hunting for Demon Beast materials."

Klifon looked at the two kids with red hair and felt like Rosa was joking with him. "Is this some kind of prank?" Only then he spread his Spiritual Sense and noticed the twins were in the Initial Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. "Not bad, not bad at all for kids..."

Rean approached and bowed. "h.e.l.lo, friend. I'm Jerry. Also, we aren't really kids. This is nothing but an outer appearance. We don't want to attract too much attention, that's all."

Klifon narrowed his eyes, finding this situation too weird. "Even if you decided to disguise yourselves, did you need to take the form of kids? Whatever... come inside. The sun is almost settling anyway, so there isn't much more sunlight for me to cultivate."

Rean, Roan, and Rosa followed Klifon inside. The top of the tower didn't have many things. It was, however, very open. There were giant windows and many mirrors everywhere to let sunlight circulate as much as possible. Other than that, there were several nests made with fire element materials.

Klifon flew flew to one of the bigger nests and had several people attending him. "Well, well, well... my little Rosa brought you here, so I guess I will hear you, at least. Do you want something? My subordinates here can get you some refreshments."

Rean couldn't help but ask. "Are they your slaves or something?"

Klifon's expression darkened. "Your a.s.s! I pay them very well to take care of my tower, alright?! Pretty much everyone in this city wants to work here."

The people looked at Rean and giggled. Obviously, Rean wasn't the first one to make that mistake. They truly didn't look like the people there were being forced to do anything.

Rean's expression also turned serious and he gave a sincere apology. "I'm sorry, friend. I misspoke. I, too, am someone who despises slavery. It's just that I never expected Spirits to employ humans, so I jumped to conclusions."

"Errr..." Klifon was a little surprised as well. He didn't expect Rean to look to apologize that deeply. Naturally, his impression of Rean improved a little. "It's... It's fine. As long as you understand..."

He quickly recovered, though. "Ahem! Anyway, my little Rosa said you were looking for someone from my race. What is it you need from us?"

Rean looked at Roan, who had been silent all this while. Roan stepped forward and made his case. "I heard that Sun Urpins also use cultivation techniques like humans do. Is that true?"

Klifon narrowed his eyes. "Not exactly. Why the question?"

Roan went straight to the topic. "I've created thousands of cultivation techniques in the past, and I just so happen to be in need of a cultivation technique for Sun Urpins. Yet, I've never heard about Spirits using Cultivation Techniques. I'm confident I can create one, but I need to work with a Sun Urpin for that. But first, I need to know if Sun Urpins really can use cultivation techniques or not."

Klifon didn't understand. "Why would you need such a thing?"

"Let's just say someone else needs it," Roan answered ambiguously.

Klifon pondered a bit. The situation looked just too strange. Nonetheless, it wasn't really a secret, so he decided to talk. "Truth be told, we can use cultivation techniques. However, techniques that work for us are rare and far between, so we usually cultivate without them. Sun Urpins can cultivate with sunlight alone, but a cultivation technique would definitely boost our progress. I won't lie. I've been looking for a cultivation technique for many years, but I've never had the chance to find one."

Roan faintly smiled. "Then I guess our interests are aligned."
