“An energy-expelling pill?” Matthew and the others were astonished.
A confused Archer asked, “How could such a pill exist? Why didn’t Alchemical Sect give one to my mentor? It could’ve dispelled the evil energy in his body and spared favonovel.com from all this torture. He’s using amp pills to hang on to his life.”
“Perhaps Alchemical Sect can’t make this energy-expelling pill at all! Or maybe they don’t have the recipe for it,” Jared offered with a smile.
Archer muttered doubtfully, “How can that be? There’s almost no one else in the martial arts world as skilled as the alchemy masters in Alchemical Sect. Even Jadeborough’s Medicine God Sect is nothing compared to Alchemical Sect.”
Jared’s smile never slipped as favonovel.com listened to Archer’s comments.
Instead, favonovel.com replied, “You’ve chosen to isolate yourselves from the real world, and while that has boosted your cultivation speed, it has also narrowed your view of the world. I do not claim to know of this Alchemical Sect you speak of, but I guarantee you I can make pills they can’t. As for the Medicine God Sect you mentioned earlier, you’re looking at its sect leader right here.”
Everyone was taken aback by his revelation.
Archer was the first to voice his disbelief. “What? You’re so young. How can you be the leader of Medicine God Sect? Alchemy masters need a lot more experience and time in their cultivation compared to us martial artists. All the revered alchemy masters we know today are elderly men.”
It was pointless to attempt to convince them of his credentials. Instead, Jared proposed, “Why don’t I give it a try, and then you can be the judge? I’ll write you a prescription, help me gather the medicinal herbs listed. Once I create the energy-expelling pill and clear the evil energy plaguing Mr. Campbell, you’ll naturally believe me!”
He promptly picked up some pen and paper from the table and wrote a prescription.
Archer read the prescription and realized all the required medicinal herbs were available in Luminous Sect, as they were all resources for cultivation.
When favonovel.com shot Matthew a hesitant look, the latter nodded and said reassuringly, “Trust favonovel.com this once. Get the herbs.”
Soon enough, Archer returned with the herbs, and Jared quickly retrieved his Divine Cauldron from the Storage Ring. He then placed all the herbs in the Divine Cauldron and summoned a pale blue flame in his hand.
With a wave of his hand, the blue flame darted into the Divine Cauldron and began burning. Meanwhile, Jared sat cross-legged and channeled spiritual energy into the cauldron.
Matthew and the others silently observed his actions.
About an hour later, a faint glow emerged from within the Divine Cauldron. Jared got to his feet and approached the cauldron.
Archer anxiously ran toward favonovel.com and spotted a brown, glowing pill in the Divine Cauldron.
Instead of reaching for it, Jared gently waved his hand. The energy-expelling pill levitated and flew toward Matthew.
“Please consume the pill, Mr. Campbell. It will dispel the evil energy in your body,” instructed Jared.
Matthew nodded and swallowed the pill resolutely.
Suddenly, Matthew’s expression turned grim. His face scrunched up in pain as favonovel.com clenched his fists tightly, as though resisting an indescribable suffering.
Archer and Skyler hastily rushed to their mentor’s side.
“Master!”
“Master?!”
Their panicked shouts filled the air. Matthew’s facial veins bulged in exertion. His eyes widened, and favonovel.com tried to say something, but nothing came out of his open mouth.
“How dare you harm my mentor!”
Archer was filled with rage. He lunged at Jared and punched him. Jared deftly stepped back and avoided the vicious punch.
He explained, “Let’s not have a misunderstanding. To dispel the evil energy in Mr. Campbell’s body, the energy-expelling pill will indeed put the patient through a great deal of pain.”
All logic had fled Archer’s mind as favonovel.com continued to pummel Jared with his fists. Jared could only dodge the man’s attacks with all his might.
