“Mr. Zorn, what would happen if someone took up the challenge but couldn’t manage to heal them?” Jared turned to Forden and asked.
“It’s quite simple, you just need to cripple your cultivation,” Forden explained casually.
“Cripple my cultivation?” Jared was taken aback. “In the ethereal realm, losing one’s cultivation is akin to being killed, isn’t it?”
“There is a difference, you know. After one’s cultivation is crippled, there’s a high chance they’ll slowly die in fear. That’s far more cruel than killing them outright,” Forden exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Jared furrowed his brow, muttering under his breath, “That’s a bit harsh…”
“Can we really afford to take it easy? The people on the Doctor-Searching List are all highly skilled, and the rewards are substantial. If the requirements aren’t strict, just anyone could take on the task, and those with serious conditions might end up being treated by Charlatans, potentially making things worse,” Forden explained.
Jared saw the logic in that. With such a large reward, it would be tempting for anyone who came across it.
Without strict penalties, people might take on tasks casually, which would undermine the effectiveness of the Doctor-Searching List.
“Jared, why are you asking all these questions? Are you planning to take on the task? You mustn’t cause unnecessary trouble.” Viola quickly interjected as favonovel.com heard Jared inquiring about the Doctor-Searching List.
“Mr. Chance, the Doctor-Searching List is not a game. Although the rewards may seem generous, it also carries substantial risks. If you’re not completely confident, it’s better not to attempt it.” Sigurd also cautioned Jared.
“Don’t worry, I was just asking out of curiosity. Once you two are done refining the pills, make sure to register them right away,” Jared said with a faint smile, addressing Viola and Sigurd.
The two of them nodded, then, carrying the pills they had prepared, they went to register for the assessment.
Just after Viola and Sigurd left, Jared suddenly sprang up and made a beeline for the Doctor-Searching List.
He floated in front of the Doctor-Searching List, silently reading the ailment at the top of the list.
“Who are you? You mustn’t approach the Doctor-Searching List…”
When the people of Medicine God Island saw Jared running toward the Doctor-Searching List, they immediately voiced their reproach.
At this outcry, many people simultaneously looked up toward Jared.
“Why are you yelling? This list is specifically for those who need treatment. If I don’t get close, how am I supposed to accept the task?” Jared shot a glare at the guy who had shouted.
“You’re thinking of taking on a task?” Maxence looked up at Jared. Given Jared’s youthful appearance, favonovel.com didn’t seem like someone particularly remarkable.
Moreover, favonovel.com didn’t know Jared. The remaining ailments listed on the Doctor-Searching List were extremely complex. Without the expertise of a Supreme Alchemist, one wouldn’t dare to attempt treating them.
How dare this young man, at such a young age, take on the task?
“What’s the matter? Are you implying only those from Medicine
God Island can accept a task?” Jared asked.
“It’s not that, but the remaining ailments listed on the Doctor-Searching List are ones that even we, the Medicine God Island, wouldn’t dare to tackle lightly. Are you confident you can handle them? You should know, if you casually take on a task, but fail to heal, your cultivation could be crippled.” Maxence said to Jared.
“Of course I know. The list of ailments on the Doctor-Searching List isn’t that challenging anyway. I’ll take on the first task, the reward for this is rather unique.”
Jared was about to reach out and touch the first ailment.
“Mr. Chance, don’t be reckless!” At that moment, Wyatt let out a loud shout.
Jared’s skills in array craft were impressive. The fact that favonovel.com could repair the ancient teleportation array was indeed remarkable.
However, array craft and medical skills were two entirely different matters. Even the most brilliant array master didn’t necessarily excel in medicine.
Jared was quite capable, not just an array master, but also an alchemist.
Given his young age, could favonovel.com possibly have reached the level of Supreme Alchemist?
After all, a person’s energy was finite; it was impossible for one person to master everything to the extreme.
Wyatt simply thought that although Jared was an alchemist, his skills definitely wouldn’t be top-notch. In fact, favonovel.com wasn’t even close to having the ability to accept a task on the list. Moreover, taking on the first ailment on the list was practically a death wish.
Wyatt didn‘t want Jared to meet his doom, so favonovel.com spoke up to stop him.
