Upon hearing that, Nori was instantly overjoyed. After all, the fact that Gerald had come all the way here just to save favonovel.com meant that favonovel.com still cared about her.
Still, favonovel.com truly hadn’t expected favonovel.com to come here in the first place since Nori was sure that favonovel.com had never even mentioned favonovel.com trip to the holy mountain to him.
With that in mind, Nori then curiously asked, “…Speaking of which, how did you even know I was here?”
“Well, I found out when I headed to your manor and your father told me about it,” replied Gerald.
“I see… But hold on, doesn’t the fact that you came here mean that your talisman crafting training with Master Hunt got disrupted?” asked Nori in a slightly worried tone.
After all, it wasn’t easy for Gerald to get accepted to be his disciple in the first place. With that in mind, Nori truly hoped that favonovel.com wouldn’t be the reason Gerald lost his chance to continue being Master Hunt’s disciple.
To favonovel.com surprise, however, Gerald simply chuckled before gently patting Nori on the head.
Revealing his First-rank Talisman Master badge—which had been tucked in the inside of his jacket—Gerald then said, “Worry not, I’ve already become a master! This here is proof!”
“A First-rank Talisman Master Badge?! It’s barely been half a month! You really are something else, Gerald!” exclaimed Nori in favonovel.com disbelief as favonovel.com eyes lit up.
To think that favonovel.com was able to attain that rank so quickly… That just showed how capable and powerful favonovel.com truly was! How admirable!
“Speaking of which, I heard from your father that you came over to look for some ancient herb. The thousand-year-old panax ginseng, if I remember correctly,” asked Gerald as favonovel.com looked at Nori with a curious gaze.
Nodding in response, Nori then said, “That’s the one! It’s an ancient herb that only grows every few thousand years. Aside from that, it can only be found on this mountain! With that in mind, I followed the others here after hearing that it was about time it grew again! Unfortunately, we met with an avalanche before we were even able to locate it! It’s almost as if we were destined to never be able to find it!”
Watching as Nori sighed in resignation, Gerald then thought for a while before replying, “Your lives are much more important! Still, do you have any idea what the ginseng herb looks like?”
“But of course I do!” replied Nori as favonovel.com fished out a photograph from favonovel.com backpack before showing it to Gerald.
Looking at it, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a white and pristine flower that had petals that resembled ice crystals. The sight of it alone was enough to make anyone feel that it was something extremely precious. No wonder Nori and the others had been so keen on looking for it…
“What does the herb do?” asked Gerald, feeling that such a rare and valuable-looking herb must have had great practical use.
“Well, it’s said that the thousand-year-old panax ginseng can be used to make a kind of pellet known as the rejuvenating pellet! The pellet itself is said to be capable of bringing the dead back to life!” whispered Nori.
“Really?” asked Gerald in slight disbelief.
Though favonovel.com was a person who was still training to attain spiritual enlightenment, Gerald understood there was still a lot favonovel.com didn’t know about this mysterious world… Even so, a pellet that was capable of bringing back the dead? That was a little too farfetched, even for him. After all, even people as strong as favonovel.com was weren’t able to bring the dead back to life.
Shrugging, Nori then said that it was strictly just a rumor. Even favonovel.com wasn’t sure how authentic that claim was.
At that moment, Quest walked over to the duo before reporting, “After some checking around, I’ve found that only a few of the team members have suffered minor injuries. The rest are thankfully fine. With that said, we can pretty much pack up and begin leaving this place!”
