Streams of black air gushed from his pores.
Ethan Smith stared into the distance as he felt the changes in his five viscera and six bowels.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the suffering and illnesses in the mortal world began to disappear, and his body had stepped into another level.
Right now, two rays of light burst from Ethan Smithâs eyes, and his strength quietly changed.
Ethan Smith stood up, clenched his fist, and said softly, âMy strength has grown noticeably, but⦠Iâm still a thread away from being a half-step Martial Marquis.â
Although half-step Martial Marquis was not a definite level, once one stepped into it, they would be worlds apart from a Grandmaster.
But at this moment, Ethan Smith hadnât felt that kind of change yet.
âIt seems I still need to continue cultivating,â Ethan Smith murmured softly.
After thinking it over, he decided to go out and check the time.
When Ethan Smith reached the door, he found that the door couldnât be opened at all.
An extremely powerful force had sealed the door completely.
Even Ethan Smithâs physical strength couldnât break it open.
âIt seems to be the Forbidden Power set by the Pavilion Master,â Ethan Smith thought secretly.
In that case, it meant that a month hadnât passed yet.
âForget it, time is running out, Iâll continue cultivating,â Ethan Smith murmured softly.
Outside world.
The Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion repelled the assailants from the Great Saint Sect with just a single palm.
More importantly, this palm seemed to have shattered their confidence, making them dare not launch a large-scale attack for the time being.
The Medicine God Pavilion had a brief respite.
In a hotel several miles away from the Medicine God Pavilion.
Skyler Howe walked in, looking disheveled.
His face looked terrible, as if he had just been scolded.
âHow about it? How did the sect master reply to you?â Elder Foster said with a bit of schadenfreude.
Skyler Howe glared fiercely at Elder Foster but didnât say a word.
Obviously, the sect master had not agreed to his request and even scolded him.
âWith just a few of us, Iâm afraid it will be difficult to take down the Medicine God Pavilion,â Skyler Howe said quietly.
The others nodded slightly.
Through a brief exchange, they realized that the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilionâs strength was unfathomable, and they couldnât defeat him!
âThe sect master said that if we canât complete the task, we donât need to go back,â Skyler Howe sneered.
Elder Foster stretched and said, âSome people were eager to make a merit, so they hurriedly agreed, but now they regret it?â
Skyler Howe glared at Elder Foster and shouted, âYou better not provoke me, or I wonât mind killing you first!â
âOh?â Elder Foster didnât back down. He immediately stood up and said coldly, âYouâre welcome to try!â
âHehe, the elite of the Great Saint Sect arenât attacking the Medicine God Pavilion, but hiding in a hotel and stirring up internal strife. Is this the number one sect in the north?â
At this time, a voice came from the entrance.
Turning their heads, they saw a young man walk in.
It was none other than Dudley Lynch!
âWhat are you doing here?â Elder Foster asked unhappily.
Dudley Lynch said indifferently, âOf course Iâm here to help you.â
âHelp us?â Elder Foster scoffed.
âWith you? A half-step Martial Marquis who was defeated by a Peak Form of Grandmaster?â
A trace of coldness flashed across Dudley Lynchâs face but disappeared quickly.
He then looked at the group and said indifferently, âSince you canât defeat him, why not outwit him?â
âOutwit? How to outwit?â Skyler Howe frowned.
Dudley Lynch flipped his palm, and a pill fell into his hand.
âThis is the Spirit Severing Pill. Once taken, even someone with incredible abilities will become useless,â Dudley Lynch said indifferently.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
âThe other party is the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion, and you want to poison her? Are you out of your mind?â Elder Foster sneered.
Dudley Lynch glanced at him and said, âThis pill was lost hundreds of years ago, and only I possess it under the heavens.â
âDid the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion live for hundreds of years?â
Everyone exchanged glances when they heard this.
âAre you telling the truth?â Skyler Howe asked skeptically.
Dudley Lynch snorted coldly, âBelieve it or not, itâs up to you. Anyway, if you canât complete the mission, you canât go back.â
Skyler Howe silenced for a moment and bit his teeth, âAlright, letâs do it your way!â
âBut how can we make her take this pill?â Elder Foster asked.
Dudley Lynch sneered, âYouâre an elder, and you still need to ask others for such a thing?â
âLet me tell you one thing: there are no eternal emotions in the world, only eternal interests.â
After leaving this sentence, Dudley Lynch turned and left.
Late that night.
The entire Medicine God Pavilion was silent.
It was already two oâclock in the morning, and a man sneaked out.
This man was none other than the Chief Enforcement Elder!
After leaving the Medicine God Pavilion, the First Elder quickly got into a carriage.
âGive this to the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion.â Skyler Howe handed the Spirit Severing Pill to the First Elder.
After taking the Pill, the First Elder frowned, âIs what you promised me true?â
Skyler Howe snorted lightly, âWhat do you think? To tell you the truth, many aristocratic families in Capital City are not happy with her.â
âIt doesnât matter who is the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion, right? As long as you get this thing done, youâll be the next Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion.â
People have weaknesses. The First Elder didnât care about money but coveted the position of Pavilion Master.
He took the pill and bit his teeth, âFine! Iâll do it!â
âYou have to make sure she takes it,â Skyler Howe reminded.
âDonât worry, the Pavilion Master trusts me the most,â the First Elder said.
After taking the pill, the First Elder got off the carriage.
His face was a bit tangled, but he finally made up his mind.
The next morning.
The First Elder personally cooked a bowl of porridge and put the Spirit Severing Pill into the porridge.
The Spirit Severing Pill was colorless and tasteless, disappearing instantly when put in.
He carried the bowl of porridge and walked to the bottom of the pavilion.
The First Elder was the only one who could come to this pavilion without having to report.
He made a deep leap and came in front of the Pavilion Master.
âLord Pavilion Master, please have some porridge.â The First Elder put the porridge in front of the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master glanced at him and said faintly, âJust put it there.â
The First Elder took a deep breath and said with a smile, âPavilion Master, I cooked this porridge myself and used a lot of nourishing herbs.â
âYouâve been working too hard these past few days. Drink this porridge while itâs hot.â
