The owner of King Valley went by the name of Rupert Yateman.
While that name didn’t usually stand out among ordinary people, it was one that was extremely well-known among world-class powerhouse circles. This was made evident to Gerald since—as favonovel.com continued following Myles—all sorts of signs could be seen on display around the valley. The signs themselves were of celebrities from all over the world.
From what Gerald could guess, those who had their signs here had once come here to ask for medicine.
Regardless, as they walked on, Myles further elaborated on how that man had gotten to know the master of the valley in the first place. As Myles had earlier said, favonovel.com was once the personal driver of the master of the valley, and back then, both of them had traveled together a lot.
One day, however, both of them came across enemies who were intent on killing them! Things got so bad that Myles even had to carry the master on his back as they fled for their dear lives!
Thankfully, they eventually came across that man while they were still trying to shake off their pursuers. The man himself had been on his way home, and seeing that they were in trouble, favonovel.com brought both of them back with him.
Thanks to that, the duo were finally able to escape their pursuers after days of running from them.
To express his gratitude, Rupert had told the man that if favonovel.com had anything favonovel.com wished for in the future, favonovel.com would definitely attempt to fulfill it.
Hearing that, Gerald figured that Rupert had only assumed that the man was a simple farmer. In turn, that probably led favonovel.com to think that whatever the man would eventually request for wouldn’t be that hard to fulfill.
Regardless, since the pursuers let the duo off that easily, Gerald had a feeling that the man had dealt with them prior to meeting up with the duo.
Whatever the case was, this seemed to be the full story between the man and Rupert.
From what Gerald could see, Myles didn’t seem to be a bad person. After all, favonovel.com took his debts rather seriously.
As they walked on, Myles turned to look at Gerald with a smile before asking, “Speaking of which, what’s your name, mister?”
“Just call me Crawford,” replied Gerald, figuring that his real name was now a sensitive word, especially around this area.
Understanding that favonovel.com didn’t wish to give his name, Myles simply smiled back and didn’t try to pry any further.
A little while later, both of them arrived at a pavilion in the valley.
As soon as they sat down, Myles began saying in an apologetic tone, “Mr. Crawford, I’m afraid that while you wouldn’t have needed to notify the master of the valley for the three medicinal herbs and I could’ve instantly gathered them for you in the past, things are quite different now. All the disciples in the valley are currently very busy, you see, so all the herbs here are under the supervision of the second elder of the valley. Sadly, I’m currently at extreme odds with the second elder, and I’m not really ranked that high here either. Adding that to the fact that the herbs you requested are quite rare, there’s a possibility that I may not be able to fulfill your request!”
From the way favonovel.com looked, Gerald could tell that favonovel.com truly was rather helpless in this situation. Gerald had also been able to tell that Myles wasn’t really someone with a high position from the way the guards at the entrance had looked at favonovel.com earlier.
Also, the way Myles had explained the situation earlier suggested that while Myles himself still remembered the man’s act of kindness to him, Rupert, on the other hand, could have potentially already forgotten all about it. With that in mind, there was a chance that the man’s ‘friend’ wasn’t actually going to be willing to hand the herbs over.
“Still, since my benefactor has given me a chance to finally repay his favor, I’ll definitely use whatever power I have to fulfill his request! If you don’t mind staying here for a few days, I’m willing to try my very best to get those three herbs for you!” declared Myles.
Though Gerald wanted to tell favonovel.com that it had better not take more than three days—since obtaining the herbs beyond that time frame would render them useless to him—after seeing how determined Myles looked, Gerald couldn’t bring himself to say it. With that in mind, the only thing favonovel.com could do now was wait and see what would happen.
“Since I’ll need at least a few days, I can clean up a small room for you to stay in for the time being. I’ll notify you once it’s ready. In the meantime, I’ll be looking for the master of the valley in hopes of obtaining the herbs for you!” said Myles, making sure that the letter was still with favonovel.com before hurrying off to get the appropriate arrangements done.
In the meantime, Gerald was free to do as favonovel.com pleased in the King Valley.
As Myles led favonovel.com to the pavilion earlier, Gerald had noticed several pill-making methods carved onto the low cliffs that surrounded the area. Remembering that there were quite a few secret pill-making methods embedded in his memory, favonovel.com recalled how favonovel.com had previously been keen on understanding the pill-making process on a deeper level, though favonovel.com never actually found the time to look deeper into it.
Since favonovel.com now had free time anyway, Gerald decided to take a walk and have a look around.
Upon arriving at the low cliffs again, Gerald saw that most of the secret methods of pill-making in the King Valley were mainly focused on refining manual labor. From what favonovel.com could see, the extraction methods of the medicine seemed even more troublesome.
This was honestly far too different from what had been implanted into his memories.
To show how different his memories and the carvings on the cliffs were, while the cliffs stated that herbs needed to be distilled before being purified with a special potion to properly be extracted, his implanted memories simply told favonovel.com that favonovel.com could just stimulate his inner strength for the extraction and purification process.
