Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Adriana's Greatest Treasure
'So all of them are lusting after me?' Sam couldn't help but feel a complicated mix of emotions. 'Is my charm really that effective, to the point where ev my own mother is lusting after me?'
A thoughtful expression crossed Adriana's face as she observed Sam examining the wom one by one.
Her gold eyes flickered briefly, and th she displayed a surprised expression. "My dear grandson, are you using some kind of divine power or innate ability just now?"
Sam nodded. "Yes. How did you know I was using a Divine Power? Did you figure that out using your Eyes of Clarity?"
He gazed at her with curiosity, her gold eyes radiating a mysterious power.
"Yes, it's a Dao perception-related visual innate ability. My Eyes of Clarity grant me the ability to see the flow of ergy and hance my visual perception to a certain degree. Unlike the spiritual sse, it allows me to 'see' rather than sse the vironmt a me, and it also boosts my comprehsion ability to a certain level.
A rather useful ability, wouldn't you agree?" Adriana said, a hint of pride in her voice.
Sam agreed, "Yes, it's indeed a valuable ability."
Innate abilities were a rarity, and visual-type innate abilities were ev rarer. These abilities were innate to a person from birth and developed alongside them.
Unlike Divine Powers, which could be acquired through various means like birthright, comprehsion, or inheritance, Innate Abilities were inhert from the beginning.
There was still a possibility of acquiring Innate Abilities after birth if someone possessed an ability-stealing power like Sam's Devour or if it was inherited from an individual with innate abilities.
Sam wore a complicated expression as he continued to observe how every woman prest seemed to be feeling extremely lustful towards him.
Noticing his expression, Lorraine couldn't help but ask, "Sam, dear, is something wrong?"
Sam wanted to ask them about why they were feeling this way, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was someone who usually spoke his mind, but discussing this topic directly felt wrong and taboo.
"I was just thinking about something, nothing you should be concerned about," he replied, scratching his head.
Lorraine narrowed her eyes; she didn't believe him. She had always be close to him, and she knew all the ins and outs of his personality. She could tell wh something wasn't right. 'There's something bothering him; I can tell. I wonder what it is. I need to talk to him.'
She had be waiting for the right time to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him.
"More importantly, wh are you planning on telling us about the poison, Grandma Adriana?" Sam asked, his expression thoughtful.
"What poison?" Hela asked, confused.
Adriana looked at her grandson, attempting to appear slightly irritated. "Dear grandson, how did you know I was poisoned?"
"Mom, you...you're poisoned?" Lorraine asked, her worry evidt as she grabbed and yanked her mother.
Ev Ava, who was usually calm and indiffert, looked concerned.
"Easy now, daughters. Yes, I am poisoned, but it's not that severe," Adriana sighed, trying to reassure her daughters.
"Who poisoned you?"
Adriana let out another sigh. "I don't know, but I do have an idea of who might have the audacity to poison me."
"It must be that bastard, Alexander, isn't it?" Lorraine fumed, an incredible amount of anger radiating from her.
"He might be a bastard, but he doesn't have the guts to do something like this. My best guess is Harper; he must be the one behind this," Adriana said, her expression growing cold.
"Th what are we waiting for? He must not be allowed to live now that he has gone so far as to poison you," Hela declared, her face turning as cold as her mother's, Adriana.
"As much as I'd love to kill him, I don't have any evidce that he ev did it. So, for now, I can only bite my lip and stand down," Adriana said, her frustration evidt.
"Everybody, calm down. Before revge, there must be healing. We first need to cure Grandma of the poison before we ev think about exacting revge, okay?" Sam's voice magically resonated, calming everyone's nerves.
Subconsciously, everyone turned their atttion to Sam as he continued, "Grandma, have you tried to remove the poison from your body?"
Adriana shook her head, her expression grave. "The poison is too pott for me to cure it by myself. It's at least a top-notch Emperor-grade poison. The poison's effects were quite strong. If it wer't for me constantly suppressing the poison with my Freezing Qi, it almost managed to kill me."
"So serious?" Ava's face darked.
"Yes, ev though I managed to suppress it, I couldn't remove it. Since it's an Emperor-grade poison, there's no cure available in our realm. So, I can do nothing but constantly suppress it, or the poison will cripple my Spiritual veins," Adriana explained, shaking her head with a helpless smile.
The currt realm they were in was the Cultivator realm, and the peak cultivation one could reach was the Boundary Emperor realm.
The heavly Dao of the Cultivator realm was not strong ough to withstand the presce of beings with higher cultivation, particularly those at the Emperor level.
It had be said in legds that the Cultivator realm used to be a hav for countless strong cultivators, and the emperors were not ev considered significant.
But everything changed millions of years ago wh an evt caused the providce of the tire cultivation realm to diminish to a point where it couldn't ev hold the presce of Sage realm cultivators.
Only after recovering some providce over millions of years, did the Cultivator's realm had managed to at least hold the presce of Boundary Emperors.
Lorraine, however, couldn't understand how her mother could smile so casually despite having such a pott poison in her body. She asked, "How can you smile at this?"
"What else do you want me to do? I can't cure it now, can I? Besides, I'm already doing everything I can to find a cure," Adriana sighed. "Honestly, this poison is already prevting me from cultivating."
"What do you mean?"
"Every time I try to cultivate, the poison gets stronger and stronger," Adriana explained with a heavy heart. "I'm stuck now."
The room fell into a deep, somber silce.
Hela and Lorraine felt guilty, thinking that if they had not run away, leaving her alone to deal with those vicious bastards, maybe they could have prevted their mother from suffering like this.
Ava was extremely agitated. She, who had always lingered inside the Ancestral Manor of the Hailstorm Clan, didn't ev know what her mother was going through. She was angry at herself.
A the corner, in a maid uniform, Lora Frir was also worried and sad. She was alive now because of Adriana, who had saved her in a very tough situation. Adriana had be protecting her, providing food, a comfortable place, and ev resources to cultivate. Lora couldn't help but feel like she owed her something.
Lora Frir's eyes narrowed at Sam.
For some reason, she felt that Sam would solve the problem. 'he is mysterious...my heart races every time I look at him.'
Sam looked at Adriana's gorgeous and cold delicate face, which appeared calm on the surface.
Behind Adriana's happy facade, there was a deeply frustrated and furious woman.
And everyone knew she was not all right.
Suddly, Sam raised his eyebrow, remembering something. 'Would that work? I guess I'll never know until I try.'
Sorting his thoughts, Sam said, "I think I may have a way to remove that poison from your body."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Sam was a lower-stage Nasct Soul realm cultivator, and he claimed he could cure an Emperor-Grade poison?
They couldn't help but be doubtful, but they still decided to list to him. After all, he was someone who had invoked a heavly Dao phomon.
What if he really had the ability to do something extraordinary and defy the heavs?
Especially Hela, Lorraine, Sophia, and Amelia. Ev if he was saying something unbelievable, they would still try to support him.
Ava, however, was not convinced.
"It's not time to be joking, my new nephew," Ava said, narrowing her eyes.
She thought Sam's claim was outrageous and arrogant.
It was Emperor-Grade poison, and compared to that, a Nasct Soul realm cultivator was like less than ants.
How could Sam claim to cure Emperor-Grade poison? It sounded unbelievable and audacious, making her favorability for Sam drop ev lower.
"I'm not joking; I have an ability that should, in theory, allow me to take the poison away from her body," Sam said, noticing that Ava didn't have a favorable impression of him.
Ava still didn't buy it, but before she could say something, Lorraine interved, "Sam dear, can you actually do that?"
Sam nodded in agreemt.
"Can you really cure me of this poison, dear grandson?" Adriana held Sam's face with her hands as she looked into his blue eyes, much like her own.
Sam couldn't help but be captivated by her appearance. She was drop-dead gorgeous, radiating a cold beauty.
Sam looked at her face, seeing her beginning to have hope. It made him nervous, scared that he might not be able to cure her and make her lose hope once again.
"I'll use my ability on you now, don't resist," Sam said as he held her hands firmly.
With determination, he activated his Innate Ability, the Devour.
Adriana's eyes wided in surprise as she felt a foreign ergy invading her body.
She was shocked to find that Sam's ability could petrate her defses ev though she was a Boundary Emperor with a formidable body.
Sam closed his eyes, focusing on channeling his ergy into his grandma's body. He ssed the poison in her bones, slowly corroding them and her spiritual veins, threating to cripple her.
Adriana could feel Sam's ergy coursing through her body like blood through veins, reaching every part of her being.
Sam diligtly sured the poison in her body, from her heart to her bones and ev her bloodstream. He th directed his atttion solely to the poison, channeling his Spiritual ergy into her bloodstream.
As the poison came into contact with his spiritual ergy, it seemed to be pulled towards it, evtually getting absorbed.
Sam continued this process until all the poison inside her was removed and devoured by his spiritual ergy.
"Phew, I've removed the poison," Sam said, collapsing to the g as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. 'Controlling my innate ability to target only the poison inside her body was quite challging.'
Adriana gazed at her grandson in astonishmt. "You... actually removed the poison? How did you do that, and where did the poison go?"
Sam reassured her, "The poison is inside my body; I devoured it."
Adriana was alarmed by this revelation, unable to fathom how her grandson remained calm with the poison inside him. The room fell into a heavy silce as everyone's expressions darked.
Sam quickly clarified, "Don't worry, I have a divine power that grants me total immunity to all sorts of poison, regardless of their potcy and grade. So, I'm perfectly fine."
The onlookers were tak aback by this revelation.
"You're immune to all poisons, ev Emperor-grade ones?" someone asked.
Sam nodded confidtly.
It's because of his Immortal body, which has reached stage two. The first stage grants him rapid regeration and total immunity to poisons and curses.
That's why he had no problem devouring the poison from her body.
Before Sam could continue, someone embraced him, and his head was buried in something incredibly soft.
"My dear grandson, you truly are the greatest treasure I've obtained in this life," Adriana said, expressing her gratitude and affection.
Sam, buried in her embrace, couldn't help but think, "Her bosoms are ev bigger than Aunt Lor's."
He made an uninttional comparison and, subconsciously, woke up his little brother down there.
Adriana mischievously noted Sam's physical reaction, whispering in his ear, "Grandson, you're quite bold, poking your own grandmother with your..."
Sam stammered, "I'm sorry, it wasn't inttional."
"Don't worry about it," Adriana reassured him, her voice teasing as she contemplated something. "Since you saved me from that poison, I want to reward you with something." She whispered softly in his ear, her lips brushing against it.
"What kind of reward?" Sam asked nervously, feeling a chill run down his spine as he gulped.
"It's a surprise," Adriana replied, her mischievous smile still in place as she released him from her embrace.
