Unrivaled Under The Heaven

"Oh I see, if it were to be ugly then it would be given less attention" said the dwarf.

"Exactly, so how long will it take for you to forge the weapon," asked Jason.

"A month and some days should be enough for me to forge the weapon" replied the dwarf.

"Why is it taking so long to forge the spear, I thought you are good at forging else I would have taken it to another blacksmith" said Jason.

"I am the best and it wouldn't have taken me more than ten days for me to get it done but unfortunately, I still have some work that are yet to be completed" replied the dwarf.

"So you are not working on the weapon yet and you want the grand elder to wait for such a long time" asked Jason.

"Come on boy, the grand elder is not the one that is going to use the weapon so stop calling his name here" replied the dwarf.

"Although the grand elder is not the one that is going to use the weapon but you are only going to end up delaying my training and I believe you know how he is going to act when he found out that you are the reason why I didn't start on time" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I will get started right away so stop pressuring me with the grand elder" the dwarf hurriedly agreed with the request to forge the spear before any other thing.

"So how much is it going to cost me" asked Jason.

"I am supposed to charge you one hundred spirit stone but since the grand elder is the one that sent you here, just give me fifty spirit stone" reply the dwarf as he makes sure to include the grand elder in his sentence to avoid Jason from using it.

Not wasting time arguing with the price, Jason quickly handed him the required spirit stone and was left with fifty spirit stones before heading for the door and walk out of the shop but before leaving, he told the dwarf he will be coming in ten days to get his weapon.

Seeing that Jason is gone, the dwarf let out a sigh of relief before saying to himself.

"Thank the heavens that he's gone, I don't understand why my luck has to be this bad to meet with someone like him".

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Jason makes his way to the market to get some meat before heading home.

"I wonder how Hannah is going to react when she sees this" said Jason with a smile on his face as he begins to walk him.

"You must be feeling proud as you finally display a role of a big brother even though you did not work for it" mocked the bracelet.

"Do you have a problem with that" ask Jason as he continues to walk home with a smile on his face.

"Not really, it's just that you should be out there making money" reply the bracelet.

"And how am I supposed to do that Mr big brain" asked Jason.

"You can try making pills to earn a living" replied the bracelet.

"Ain't you the one that said I am too weak to make pills and I should focus more on my training" asked Jason.

"Yeah and here I am reminding you before you stray from the path" replies the bracelet.

"You are lucky that you are not saying this to my face else I would have given you a beating" said Jason.

"Which is why you will have to bear with me since you can't hit me" reply the bracelet with a chuckle.

Ignoring the bracelet as he continues to head home, it didn't take him too long before he finally get home and that is he noticed Hannah sitting on her spot as she begjn to look at the sky.

"I wonder what she is always thinking about" mutter Jason as he walks up to her and places his hand on top of her head as he begins to play with it.

Turning her head to look at who distracted her from her thought with a frown on her face only to see that it was Jason. With a big smile on her face, she jumps at him before hugging him.

"Welcome back big brother, did you miss your little sister while you are out training" said Hannah with a smile on her face as she pulls herself from his embrace. 

"Yeah, I really miss you and mother. By the way where is she" reply Jason.

"You know how she really is, always staying inside" said Hannah with a smile.

"You can't blame her for that since she doesn't want us to worry too much about her" commented Jason as he lead the way into the tent where their mother could be seen laying on the bed.

"Am back mother" said Jason.

"Welcome back son, so how was your training" asked Clara.

"It went well mother, so how are you feeling now" reply Jason before asking his question.

"I am feeling much before comparing to back when I haven't taken the pill you gave me" reply Clara with a tired look on her face.

"Don't worry mother, I promise to get the pill that can cure you of the disease" said Jason with a clenched fist when he saw the tired look on his mother's eye.

"I hope you are not endangering yourself just so I can get well Jason" asked Clara as she raised her head to look at Jason.

"What else can I do, you two are all I have left" reply Jason.

"I am not going to die so stop acting like a baby" said Clara with a chuckle as she drew his cheek.

"That hurt mother" said Jason as he begin to rub his cheek.

"Hahaha, you should see the look on your face son. By the way, what are you holding" asked Clara with a laugh.

"Oh this, I got it from the market on my way coming" reply Jason as he placed the meat on the table.

"Wow it is huge, looks like I am not going to drink soup today" said Hannah with a laugh.

"I thought that is what you are going to say" reply Jason as he played with Hannah's hair.

Why they were both playing, Clara had a serious look on her face as she stare at Jason and noticing the strange look his mother was giving him, couldn't help but asked.

"What is the problem mother".

"Tell me the truth, where did you get the money to buy that meat" reply Clara with a question of her own.

"The grand elder gave me the money earlier to pay for my weapon and I used what is left to get it. Here is the remaining spirit stone. You should keep it since I don't have any use for it" said Jason with a smile.

Taking the spirit stone from Jason, their mother gave him a look before keeping it as she said.

"But still you need to keep your reserve".

"Don't worry mother, the grand elder is not like the others" reply Jason.

"I am not saying he is a bad person, I am just saying you should be careful" said Clara.

"I heard you mother" replied Jason before going to do his thing.

The next morning.

After cultivating heaven's law, Jason sneaks out of the tent as he doesn't want to be caught by Hannah since he promised to play with her. Heading back to the alchemy room with a smile on his face only for that smile to turn into a frown when he remembered he will have to spar with the grand elder.

"I can't believe that I will be dealing with that old fox today" said Jason with a smile as he pushed the door open only to see Austin cleaning the place.

Turning to look who it was that had arrived, Austin was all smiles when he saw that it was just Jason who had a shocking look on his face.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning" asked Jason

"Oh I thought I should come early so we can talk about the other benefits we couldn't talk about yesterday" replied Austin with a smile on his face.

"So you came this early just so you can learn about the other benefits" asked Jason.

"Yes man, I noticed you couldn't talk about it because the grand elder was with us" replied Austin.

"I can't believe you actually think there was another benefit other than what we have already told you" said Jason with a sigh.

"So you tricked me" asked Austin in anger as he stared at Jason.

"I didn't, I just let you make your choice quickly so that I can hear what my punishment will be" replied Jason as he shook his head.
