Regarding battle qi, William Carter did have some understanding. After all, as a member of the The Carter Family, almost every family member practiced battle qi. As for magic, his knowledge was much more limited.

However, he also knew that magic had been brought over from the Western Continent, so on the Eastern Land Continent, there were still more people cultivating battle qi, especially in ancient families like the The Carter Family with a thousand-year legacy, which naturally possessed many advanced battle qi manuals.

In William Carter’s generation, Alice Carter and Olivia Carter were both hailed as magical prodigies, and both of them chose to practice magic.

In William Carter’s eyes, this world was like an untapped treasure trove, filled with countless rare treasures and spiritual herbs, yet the people here had no idea of their uses.

For example, the most common official silver ingots actually contained precious blue silver, which was an essential material for many magical artifacts. Yet, on the Eastern Land Continent, it was used to mint ordinary silver ingots. In William Carter’s view, this was simply a waste of heavenly resources.

The The Carter Family compound was planted with many flowers and plants, many of which were rare and exotic even on Earth. Especially in Olivia Carter’s small courtyard—whether intentionally or not—every plant she grew was a spiritual flower or fairy herb.

Because of this, the spiritual energy in the The Carter Family compound was much richer than elsewhere, which further accelerated William Carter’s cultivation speed.

During the day, William Carter cultivated the “Tongtian Treasure Canon,” and at night, he would sneak out for a stroll, habitually slipping into Olivia Carter’s courtyard to dig up some flowers and herbs.

Although he was extremely secretive, over time, Olivia Carter still discovered him. In the end, William Carter was chased by Olivia Carter from the The Carter Family all the way outside Yan City.

The “Tongtian Treasure Canon” was a cultivation method that William Carter had developed in his previous life by integrating the strengths of countless families. The “Tongtian Treasure Canon” not only improved cultivation speed, but also allowed one to absorb purer immortal energy.

This purification of immortal energy was several times stronger than ordinary methods. The purity of the immortal energy not only doubled one’s combat power, but also allowed for the refinement of higher-grade pills during alchemy and artifact forging.

Under the night sky, a small cat suddenly appeared in Olivia Carter’s courtyard. The little cat nimbly leapt along the wall, but its eyes did not shine like those of an ordinary cat. Under the moonlight, its tiny shadow stretched long.

William Carter scratched his head, his eyes darting around. His small body lightly jumped down from the wall, tiptoeing through the courtyard as if searching for something.

“Strange, where’s Old Fourth’s flower today?” William Carter was a bit anxious at this moment. Earlier, he had seen Olivia Carter carrying a pot of flowers home, and he recognized it as the Immortal Spirit Flower.

In the cultivation world, the Immortal Spirit Flower was known as the divine flower. The immortal energy it contained was so rich that, if given enough time to refine it, it could cut William Carter’s early cultivation time in half.

“Could she have hidden it?” William Carter thought to himself, sniffing the air with his nose. A faint, unique fragrance of immortal energy drifted out from the crack under Olivia Carter’s door.

William Carter revealed a mischievous grin: “Heh heh... You think hiding it in your room means I can’t find it?”

In the dark, William Carter pushed open the crack in Olivia Carter’s door. Although it was dim inside, he was already quite familiar with the place and didn’t make a sound as he followed the faint scent of the Immortal Spirit Flower.

William Carter slowly made his way to Olivia Carter’s bedside, thinking to himself, “Did this little girl hide the Immortal Spirit Flower in her bed?”

William Carter was only a year and a half old, and Olivia Carter was not yet eight, so there was nothing to worry about. William Carter gently lifted the bed curtain.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light shot out. William Carter inwardly cried out in alarm as a huge ice ball swept past his face and smashed directly into the doorpost, instantly freezing it into an icicle.

William Carter breathed a sigh of relief at his narrow escape and turned to run, but a playful figure had already leapt out from behind the bed curtain. Olivia Carter’s mischievous gaze was fixed on William Carter.

“Hmph hmph... I knew it! I just knew it!” Olivia Carter’s rosy little face was full of pride. “When you saw my Beauty Flower today, your expression was so unnatural.”

In this world, the Immortal Spirit Flower was called the Beauty Flower, because its petals were a brilliant red, like a stunningly beautiful maiden.

Besides magic, Olivia Carter’s favorite thing was growing flowers and plants. She often spent a “fortune” buying these rare plants from strange merchants.

However, about thirty or forty percent of them were dug up by William Carter. Over time, Olivia Carter became thoroughly familiar with William Carter’s habits.

William Carter didn’t care about Olivia Carter’s appearance, his gaze still wandering around the room. “Where did you hide that Beauty Flower?”

“I’m not telling you!” Olivia Carter wore a triumphant smile. This was the first time she had caught William Carter in the act. In the past, all she could find in William Carter’s The Carter Family were withered and ruined flowers, never a true victory.

No wonder Olivia Carter was so pleased. Ever since William Carter was half a year old, he had set his sights on his older sister Olivia Carter, sneaking into her courtyard every few days to do some shady business.

Olivia Carter was on guard day and night, always hoping to catch him red-handed. Now that the day had finally come, how could she not be happy, how could she not be proud?
