Jared brought Josephine and the others back to Summerbank. His expectation of spiritual energy had increased as favonovel.com was entering the Foundation Phase. Nonetheless, favonovel.com was thrilled that his abilities had drastically improved.
He could finish a few Grandmasters off today. He would not have achieved it if favonovel.com were still stuck in the Energy Refining Phase. It also took favonovel.com some time and effort to battle against Zachariah.
Jared could have easily vanquished favonovel.com had favonovel.com continued with the attack.
“Mr. Chance, should we send someone to monitor Herb Palace’s operation? I believe they won’t give us the herb without putting up a fight!” Phoenix came over to meet Jared when favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had returned.
She was stunned when Tommy told favonovel.com about the incident in Tayhaven Town. After all, everyone could tell that Jared’s power was growing rapidly by the day!
“That won’t be necessary. If they refused to give it to us, I would have all the more reason to take over the entire Herb Palace!” Jared responded with a smug smirk.
If favonovel.com wanted to advance to the next level, favonovel.com needed a lot more spiritual medicine. The batch of medicine the Herb Palace had might have been of great help to him, but the quantity was somewhat limited. That was why favonovel.com was fixated on claiming the ownership of Herb Palace so that favonovel.com would have exclusive access to that spiritual medicine. But this century-old herb had limited quantity and would one day be depleted completely.
The more powerful Jared became, the more dependent favonovel.com would be on the medicine. Hence, favonovel.com would also need to source other substitutes too!
It’s time to make a trip to Mount Hickoria to look for the spiritual stones. I could cultivate my power there right away using those stones!
Jared contacted Dominic and told favonovel.com about the trip to Mount Hickoria. He was relieved that Josephine had a jade pendant that could protect her.
It must be a powerful magical item as it could even keep two Grandmasters away from her!

Night fell, and everyone was asleep. Tayhaven Town had also turned into a ghost town due to the upheaval at the Martial Arts Gathering.
Yet, four elderly men with white beards were seen wandering on the quiet street. Clad in black robes, they were able to stride across the street from one end to another in a short time even though they walked very slowly. These men were none other than the four elders from the Crescent Sect!
They then headed in the arena’s direction and started performing their respective duties as if they were carrying out a private investigation. Besides monitoring the footprints, they also studied the man-shaped hole that Derek had caused when favonovel.com smashed into the arena.
One of the elders took out a cloth and covered his hand to retrieve the silvery powder from the hole.
The moment favonovel.com flung the powder into the air, moving human figures emerged in the sky. The image was so realistic that one might easily mistake it for a character in a 3D movie.
The moving images displayed the fight between Jared and a few Grandmasters, but they disappeared seconds later. Once again, Tayhaven Town plunged into total darkness.
“What do you think of the boy?” The elder, who flung the powder into the sky, asked.
The head of the elders shook his head. “I can’t tell much from these images. To defeat the other Grandmasters of internal energy, favonovel.com must have been a full-fledged Grandmaster of internal energy or have at least obtained similar power. Yet, I don’t feel the aura of a Grandmaster from favonovel.com at all!”
“Based on the man-shaped hole caused by Derek, the boy must have attained the power of a Grandmaster. Otherwise, Derek wouldn’t have suffered a miserable death.” Another elder, who was studying the arena, analyzed.
