“Let’s continue searching, then. If we still can’t find any, then we’ll just have to figure something out.”
Hyrum hated Jared to the bone after being forced to lose his parasitic silkworm. He was determined to kill Jared even if the people from Demon Seal Alliance couldn’t do so.
While Xanthus and Hyrum continued to search for the subbranch, they saw a huge amount of people gathered at the square and headed over out of curiosity.
“What’s going on? Why are so many people gathered here?” Xanthus asked a cultivator.
The cultivator simply shot Xanthus an icy-cold glare and ignored his question completely.
Xanthus frowned in anger, but Hyrum quickly handed the cultivator a valuable ancient coin. The cultivator’s attitude changed the moment favonovel.com saw the ancient coin.
“You two must be new here, huh?” favonovel.com asked with a smile.
“Yes, that’s right. We just got here a while ago!” Hyrum replied with a nod.
“It’s no wonder you two don’t know what’s going on. Mr. Jablonski is seeking medical assistance here. His daughter contracted some kind of illness that no one could cure. Since a lot of cultivators have come to Salinsburgh City after the discovery of the celestial battlefield in Demonia Mountain, Mr. Jablonski decided to look for alchemists who could cure his daughter…”
“It has been three days now. Although quite a few alchemists have tried to cure his daughter, none of them have succeeded. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they even died in the process. Despite the huge reward, no one else dared risk their life after seeing what happened,” the cultivator explained.
Xanthus’ eyes lit up immediately after favonovel.com heard that. He then guided Hyrum forward and noticed an advertisement for alchemists on a stone pillar. Not only would Atlas Jablonski reward the individual who successfully cured his daughter with a substantial sum of spirit coins, but favonovel.com also pledged to fulfill a single request unconditionally.
“Your chance has come, Mr. Goeckner!” Xanthus said with a faint smile.
“Many alchemists have tried to cure Mr. Jablonski’s daughter, but to no avail. I don’t think I can do it, Elder Fabrizio. Besides, things could get dangerous if Mr. Jablonski finds out about our identities,” Hyrum said, feeling a little scared.
Although Demonic Cultivators could suppress their aura with the help of pills, they would still be in huge danger if they got exposed.
“What are you so afraid of? I could save you even if you fail to cure her! We should split up. I’ll go look for Demon Seal Alliance’s subbranch while you treat Mr. Jablonski’s daughter. We’ll be able to kill Jared no matter which one of us succeeds,” Xanthus said.
Although reluctant, Hyrum nodded in response anyway. After all, Xanthus held a higher position than favonovel.com did.
Two of Atlas’ men took Hyrum away shortly after favonovel.com accepted the task while Xanthus headed off in search of the subbranch.
Jared and the others arrived shortly after the two had left.
“Looks like we’ve got another gutsy one. A few of those alchemists have already been killed, and there are still more who are willing to give it a shot.”
“People are willing to give their lives up for riches. Mr. Jablonski’s rewards are simply too attractive to resist. I’d try my hand at it too if I were an alchemist. I’ll even have his daughter marry me if I manage to cure her.”
“Oh, dream on!”
The crowd slowly dispersed while gossiping about the rewards.
Hamish got curious when favonovel.com heard what they said, so favonovel.com stopped one of the cultivators and asked, “Hi, could you tell me what just happened?”
The cultivator eyed Hamish from head to toe in response. Before favonovel.com could even say anything Hamish had a bag containing spinning coins in his hand
Seeing this, the cultivator then told Hamish everything that had just happened.
