Saying that Eric left to go to his room and then went into the system space to bring out a lot of pills. He went out and quickly gave it to Sara.
"These pills should speed up your progress and get you to the fifth stage in three months if you can practice without doing anything else."
"Three months!!! What kind of pills are these? Shouldn't it usually take a couple of years to get to that level?"
"These are mostly mid and high-rank pills. This will save you a lot of time. The only problem is the explanation on how you got this pill."
"Can't I just say I got it from you?"
"About that... the store has a bit of trouble with an elder from the Crescent sect, so you can't mention that I know you or you might get in trouble."
"Don't worry about me, the store has protection from foundation realm cultivators, but who knows if the sect elder will attack you since he can't attack me."
After saying all that, Eric finally gave Sara two bracelets that looked the same as the one Eric had.
"This is a piece of high-rank defense equipment. It can help you survive an attack from a Qi-gathering cultivator and even slow them down a little while giving you some time to run away. If someone below level 9 attacks you, it can even hurt them a little bit but it won't activate unless you activate it yourself or if it's life-threatening."
Each bracelet can do this once before it breaks so don't use it unless it's necessary.
