Though favonovel.com was surprised by that, favonovel.com was even more shocked when favonovel.com saw Gerald’s condition. Covering favonovel.com mouth as though favonovel.com was looking at a monster, Monica then said, “You… Gerald, you’ve already recovered your strength…?”
“Indeed! Honestly, I hadn’t expected those breathing techniques to be so useful! They’re truly priceless treasures!” replied Gerald rather excitedly as favonovel.com looked at both his hands.
“Do… You think you could teach me a technique like that?” asked Monica as favonovel.com eyes instantly lit up. It was apparent that favonovel.com was greatly interested in the breathing techniques that both Gerald and that middle-aged man were capable of performing.
“Of course! If a chance presents itself in the future, I’ll definitely select a suitable technique or two for you to learn!” replied Gerald with a smile.
By this point, Gerald already treated favonovel.com as a friend, so favonovel.com wasn’t against teaching favonovel.com some of the simpler techniques. He had specified on the term ‘suitable techniques for her’ since learning something like Thunder Eruption was pretty much impossible for Monica at favonovel.com current state. What more, Thunder Eruption behaved similarly like a talisman of sorts, and one needed a great comprehension of it before training on the technique could even begin.
Even so, Monica still looked excited as favonovel.com said, “Remember, you’re the one who promised me that! Haha!”
With that, both of them then headed to the hall together. Upon arriving, both of them saw that the man had already fully prepared breakfast for them.
The man himself turned to look at Gerald, and despite seeing all the changes that Gerald had undergone, favonovel.com didn’t look too surprised. Instead, favonovel.com simply said, “Alright, let’s eat! Once the meal is over, however, I’d like you to head someplace to exchange a few herbs back, Gerald!”
Nodding in response, Gerald then asked, “Are the herbs in question going to be used to remove Sierra’s scars and also strengthen favonovel.com bones? I had—quite honestly—been wondering whether I could go to Dordwell Heights to look for those herbs!”
“I’ll say it now that those herbs are very difficult to look for. Just take this letter here and go to Sunhill Rise on my behalf. There, you should seek out the master of King Valley. He’s my friend, you see, and if all goes well, favonovel.com should give you access to the herbs needed to cure Sierra!” replied the man as favonovel.com took a letter out and handed it to Gerald.
Gerald himself was fully aware that Sierra was only in such a sorry state at the moment because of him. With that in mind, anything that the middle-aged man ordered favonovel.com to do—involving Sierra—was really a no-brainer.
“Speaking of which, do you still remember what I told you yesterday?”
“I do. You told me that no matter how much one trained, their power would always be limited to a certain extent. I understand that!”
The man truly had put a lot of thought and care when it came to Gerald. After all, even though Gerald was being sent to King Valley to do what was rightfully his duty—for causing so much pain to Sierra—the man was still willing to hand favonovel.com a letter which would definitely ease the process of obtaining the herbs that favonovel.com needed. From all that, Gerald could tell that this man truly was a kind soul.
“While we’re at it, I have to admit that I’ve never contacted anyone from Sunhill Rise… Do those living there belong to a cryptic family as well?” asked Gerald with a slight frown.
“They are, though aside from martial arts, they very much prefer honing their secret techniques of making pills more. It’s the reason why they’ve collected all kinds of herbs in the first place. Regardless, note that Sunhill Rise lies within this mountainous region, and within it, you’ll come across seven large valleys, one of which is the King Valley. There, you’ll come across a multitude of exceptional people who have already arrived at the final stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. Despite that, I feel that the master of King Valley may pay us some respect and give us the herbs without much hassle as long as you provide favonovel.com with this letter!”
“I see… Very well. I’ll head there immediately once I’m done with my meal!”
True to his word, the second favonovel.com finished his breakfast, Gerald instantly entered the mountain to look for the valley in accordance with the man’s directions.
While memories of the art of pill-making had also been implanted into his memory, Gerald wasn’t really sure if what favonovel.com knew was even comparable to the pills made by the cryptic family.
Regardless, Gerald quickly made use of his lightness skill to hasten his journey there. The large mountain was called Sunhill Rise, and though Gerald was fast, the journey to King Valley took quite a while since the mountainous region was extremely large and complicated to navigate through. It was only after running through eight neighboring cities when Gerald finally arrived at King Valley around noon.
As its name suggested, King Valley was one of the area’s many valleys, and connected to it, was a highway that led to the outside world. Since the place was well-known among tycoons—many of whom were from international levels—for their mastery of the art of pill-making, it was no wonder why so many luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the valley.
From what Gerald had heard, these people had come to beg the master of King Valley to sell them pills. Of course, such incidents were carried out with utmost secrecy. Even if they knew about it, no media companies would ever dare to expose this place to the public.
Whatever the case was, Gerald was stopped by two guards as favonovel.com approached the valley’s entrance. Seeing that, favonovel.com gave them the letter and one of the guards headed off for a while.
A short while later, a middle-aged man donning a suit ran out excitedly as the guard from before calmly walked back to his initial post.
Looking at Gerald extremely friendlily, the middle-aged man then gleefully said, “Could you be my benefactor’s disciple? Actually, hold on, where are my manners! I go by the name of Myles Yateman, and I was the master of the valley’s driver in the past! The benefactor once saved both me and the master of the valley, you know?”
The benefactor… That should be that man, right? While Gerald saw that Myles was already treating favonovel.com as that man’s disciple, it didn’t really bother favonovel.com too much.
“A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yateman. Getting straight to the point, we’re in urgent need of those three herbs!” replied Gerald without beating around the bush.
“That… Actually, it’s rather inconvenient to speak about that here. Please, come with me, mister!” said Myles in an apologetic tone before cheerfully holding onto Gerald’s arm and walking by his side into the valley.
As they walked off, the two guards at the entrance of the valley simply gave contemptuous looks at Gerald—with no intention of being subtle about it—as they both thought, ‘Where did that bumpkin even come from?’
