"I uncovered a small mine there."Seth perked up. "How did you find it?"He had scoped out that clan before; they were dirt-poor, even more so than the old Medicine Sect.Forget mines, they barely had a few springs.Bodacious explained, "I was lobbing a couple of bombs at their chief, and they just so happened to hit a spot where the earth was soft."The ground gave way, and voilà, I found myself standing in a small mine."Seth was floored. Were they really that lucky?He pressed for details about the mine."The ore's like gold, but it's flecked with these tiny black dots. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.""Black dots?!" Seth's excitement surged. "You're sure you saw that, right?""Positive. It's exactly as I said.""Alright, hold the fort. Don't move an inch. I'm on my way."Seth hung up and wasted no time.If Bodacious was on the level, then that tiny seam they had stumbled upon was almost certainly Black Gold.That stuff was like treasure, the key ingr
This unexpected find was a bonus, making Seth's decision to send Bodacious out there worth it.He passed the coal's location to Bodacious, then left the rest to Rhona and Landy. They would send a crew to claim the spot.The local folks would become part of the Medicine Sect, blending in and learning the ropes in due time.Seth was itching to get back to his secret spot, the hidden chamber, where he would work on crafting the Golden Clone.…Deep under the barren stretches of the Warbear Empire, a high-tech bio lab was hidden away. The place was locked down tight. Breaking in would be a nightmare, even for an army.Inside, the lab was alive with the sound of roars that could shake the earth. They echoed like thunder.There stood a giant of a man, muscles bulging and veins popping like twisted cables. His body sprouted thick, black hair. He was a sight straight out of a monster movie.The beast's form swelled, his twin jaws gaping to reveal wickedly long fangs as he morphed into
Another scientist chimed in, "She's probably on par with you by now. Your drop-dead gorgeous sister is not keen on having male scientists gawk at her during her transformation, so we're a bit in the dark on her exact status. "Give it another 30 minutes and we should have our answer."Next door, a similar scene was playing out with a female subject. She was a statuesque beauty, standing tall at 1.8 meters. She had curves in all the right places and a mane of golden waves. Her skin was so fair it practically shone, and her looks were so rare they made everyone gawk.A scientist stepped in, delivered a dose of gene serum into each of her arms, and then made a quick exit. It was not long before she began to transform. Her body elegantly elongated. Her fur, unlike her brother's, came in a shade of silver. That added to her regal aura.The scientists gathered outside were buzzing with excitement as they witnessed the spectacle."Polly's turned into a silver grizzly bear! She's got
"He might even be holed up there. We should sneak in for a little recon. If Seth's actually there, we can take him out. The guy's a walking vault of secrets. I'm dying to crack him open."Puth smirked. "Fine. If my dear sis says we go, we go. Let's hit the road."...In the hidden chamber, Seth had all the ingredients for the Golden Clone laid out before him, with an alchemy furnace at his side.He fired up the furnace, melting and purifying each ingredient. Blending them was no easy feat.Each material had its own unique properties, and he had to keep the furnace's flames roaring. He used intense heat to force them together.The next step was shaping the molten materials with his mind energy into an exact replica of Seth.It was a grueling two-day task, but he finally nailed it.Before Seth stood a statue. It was a perfect twin of himself in both looks and stature.His head ached from days of relentless crafting. He used a mysterious force called mind energy, which he had now
Seth's spiritual awareness was exceptionally sharp now, and he sensed two powerful auras more than 200 miles to the north as soon as he came out. Although they seemed to have some means of concealing their presence, they did not escape him."Interesting. Did those superpowers discover something and send experts over?" Seth's lips curled slightly as he followed the two auras.It was already past 11 at night. Thanks to Landy and Rhona’s efforts, the Medicine Gate now had a nightlife. Several bars, karaoke joints, and internet cafés had been established. They were all legitimate businesses. Seth would not allow any inappropriate activities to take place in these public places.He changed his appearance slightly and walked into one of the bars. Compared to the bars in the country, this one was still in its early stages. There were not many women clad scantily and dancing wildly on the stage. It was relatively conservative.Seth quickly scanned the interior of the bar and locked onto
The bartender wanted to see if this little pretty boy in front of him could handle this glass of over 60% strong liquor!Seth picked up the glass, took a sniff, and then drank it all in one gulp. This increased Polly's favorability of him. The people of the Warbear Empire had always enjoyed drinking, each possessing an outstanding capacity for alcohol. Those who could not drink were looked down on. "Bring me ten more shots of strong liquor!" Polly looked at Seth with interest, wanting to see how much this man could drink. Seth looked at this woman, who ranked in the top three in terms of looks among the women he knew. He asked, "What do I get if I can drink those ten shots?"She raised an eyebrow and responded, "If you can down them all and walk out of the bar yourself, I'll be yours tonight."The raised brow was a seductive gesture. Her plump and moist lips, opening and closing, were as if they were waiting for someone to taste them. She seemed to be seducing Seth.Seth shoo
Seth brought Polly to a mountaintop more than 40 miles away from the bar. The summit was blanketed with trees. There was also a natural pond with a spring underneath, providing sweet and clear water.Polly looked at the place, satisfied. She then fixed her beautiful eyes on Seth. "How did you find such a good place? Don't tell me you often bring women here?"Seth smiled. "Guess."Polly leaned closer to Seth, one hand pinching his chin as her eyes radiated a captivating brilliance. "I'm too lazy to guess. Let's see how long you can resist..."He chuckled, not making any threatening remarks of his own. Seeing his expression, Polly felt vaguely as if she was being challenged. She pushed Seth to the ground, taking the initiative to launch her attack.The scent of alcohol, perfume, and Seth's masculine aura amalgamated, creating a unique fragrance. The moon in the sky hid behind thick clouds as if it were shy.Having taken the initiative first, Polly felt proud of herself. However,
Fortunately, Seth had been consistent in his cultivation efforts, never slacking. Otherwise, he would have been surpassed by these individuals long ago.Polly’s surprise only intensified as she fought. The man enveloped with gold light was incredibly tough. Her fists were starting to hurt, and things were getting tricky.Fortunately, Puth arrived right then. When he saw the scene before him, he immediately joined the fray. The Golden Clone never faltered in the short period even when it was now a two-on-one situation. It possessed the unique ability to heal rapidly, as seen when the depression in its chest caused by Puth’s fist had quickly recovered.The battle lasted for half an hour. In the end, the clone was forced to retreat and was then reabsorbed by Seth. The clone had reached its limit as it possessed only 80% of Seth's strength. The two siblings were sweating profusely as they gasped for breath. Things were not going well. They initially thought that by working together,
