"Grandmaster Burrey, please wait a moment!"Hearing Liam's words, Lucy trembled and instantly jolted up. She hurriedly turned around and ran to the table on one side of the reception hall. After grabbing the prescription from the table, she quickly handed it to Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, the prescription is here. You can take a look."Liam reached out and took the crumpled prescription from Lucy's hand.Morgan frowned when he watched the pair.When he first saw Liam, he assumed the young man was an insignificant figure from the Hill family. However, judging by Lucy's attitude, the young man's identity seemed far more complex.Even so, Morgan showed a hint of disdain when he looked at Liam and scoffed, "Do you think you can casually look at our family's ancestral prescription?"Despite his words, Morgan did not stop Liam from examining the prescription. After all, he believed the prescription undeniably belonged to the Denzel family. He could not imagine that this young man cou
Liam had initially been told the name of the prescription by Callum, but he soon forgot it."The ancestral prescription of the Denzel family is named the Spring Dawn Tincture," Callum said while stroking his beard.At that time, the name of the prescription had been written on the recipe Lucy showed him.Liam smirked as he looked at Callum."Yes, this prescription is indeed named the Spring Dawn Tincture, but this is a prescription from the Compendium of Ancient Tincture, written by the infamous Zachary Bander of the Morlem Dynasty. How did it become the ancestral property of the Denzel family? Could it be that the Denzel family's ancestors were initially surnamed 'Bander'?"Callum's body trembled the moment Liam spoke, and his eyes widened. "The Compendium of Ancient Tincture?"As a fellow practitioner of ancient Hestian medicine, Callum had long heard of the famous medical work.There was no one in the field of ancient Hestian medicine who did not know about the groundbreaking
As soon as Liam finished speaking, a trace of astonishment flashed across Morgan's face. He looked at Liam and asked, "Is it really that simple? Are you saying you can decide on the profit distribution after the drug goes into production?""Naturally," Liam nodded casually.Morgan chuckled disdainfully at Liam, looking at him as if he were a fool. "Hah! You're really asking for trouble!"Then, he turned to Callum as he cupped his hands and added confidently, "Master Ferguson, I'll leave you to it!"Callum stroked his beard with a self-satisfied look. "It's no trouble. Since this youngster wants to see me concoct the medicine firsthand, I won't hide anything."As he spoke, he looked at Liam with mockery in his eyes. "However, the price for me to handle this isn't small!"They all thought Liam's actions were simply foolish.Lucy's face flashed with anxiety upon hearing Liam's decision. "Grandmaster Burrey..."She knew Liam had their best interests at heart. He wanted to use Callu
The decoction process involved understanding the nature of the herbs. Raw herbs were sharp and acted quickly, while processed ones had a more refined and gentle effect. When Callum began preparing the medicine, it was evident that he was indeed a renowned traditional Hestian medicine master.Based on the prescription, Callum leveraged his extensive experience to bring out the best qualities of each herb. His control over the heat during the decoction process was precise and masterful. Moreover, perhaps motivated by his bet with Liam, Callum's performance was exceptional.As time passed, a faint bitterness filled the air. When Callum added the final ingredient, two ounces of roasted licorice, and saw it dissolve, he swiftly removed the pot from the heat.The tonic was complete.Turning to Morgan, Callum nodded. "Are the contract documents ready?"Morgan sneered at Liam. "You won't back out of the deal, will you?"Liam raised an eyebrow, glancing at the dark tonic in the pot. "
Morgan collapsed to the ground, his face twisted in pain as he pointed at Liam and shouted, "Despicable scoundrel, you poisoned us! You shameless creature! The Denzel family will not let you get away with this—"However, before he could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him."Poisoned?"Liam shook his head, a mocking expression flashing across his handsome face. "Do you think you're worthy of being poisoned by me?"Morgan's face contorted with rage. "If it weren't for you, you wretched thing, how else would we end up like this?""The Compendium of Ancient Tincture states that the Spring Dawn Tincture is highly nourishing and has the effect of restoring and boosting vitality. However, if the medicine isn't properly prepared and the efficacy is not fully realized, it'll cause a surge in vitality."A young person might withstand it, but someone weak will suffer a backlash from the excessive nourishment. The first person who tried the medicine was probably young enough to resist the
Callum never imagined in his wildest dreams that the young man actually possessed such astonishing medical skills. Just the technique Liam had demonstrated earlier had already exceeded his expectations.Recalling the words Liam had once spoken, Callum's body trembled. If the miraculous formula for the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed came from the ancient Compendium of Ancient Tincture, did that mean the young man in front of him actually knew the long-lost medical treatise?How had the ancient Hestian medical community not heard of the young man? Who was he?Lucy was also stunned. Initially, she thought Liam's acupuncture skills were unparalleled, but he might not be familiar with herbal medicine. However, everything that had just happened shattered her understanding of Liam once again.Lucy gazed at Liam's tall figure, her expression dazed as she muttered, "Liam... What other secrets are you hiding from me?"Suddenly, a foolish voice jolted Lucy back to reality.Morgan plastered a f
Liam was momentarily stunned. "What's wrong?"A trace of helplessness flickered across Lucy's charming face. "I thought this prescription was a rare and precious formula. Who knew, Grandmaster Burrey, that you'd understand the prescription better than us? Given the difficulty in preparing the Spring Dawn Tincture, we simply can't scale it up for the market."Liam nodded. "That's true. The preparation method of the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed can't be mass-produced."The final step required a vast amount of inner energy, something an average person couldn't achieve.Seeing that even Liam could not find a way, a look of complete disappointment flashed on Lucy's face as she sighed. But soon, she lifted her head to look at Liam. "Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey. Even though our charity foundation's pharmaceutical project can't continue, I can find other new projects to improve our foundation!""Why can't the pharmaceutical project continue?" Liam asked in surprise.Lucy looked up in
"Grandmaster Burrey..."Thinking about those things made Lucy suddenly look up, a flicker of confusion in her eyes as she gazed at him.At that moment, she began to understand why Julian was always respectful toward Liam. The upright figure in front of her seemed capable of anything.The realization quickened her heartbeat.Liam's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Note down the recipe for the Vitality Aid Powder.""Yes, Grandmaster Burrey," Lucy responded quickly, grabbing paper and a pen."Three ounces of Atractylodes, one ounce each of Poria and dried tangerine peel, one and a half ounces of lotus seeds, half an ounce of malt. Ground them into a powder before adding two ounces of white sugar..."As Liam calmly listed the ingredients, Lucy diligently recorded the recipe."The decoction method for the Vitality Aid Powder is straightforward and simple," Liam continued once she had finished writing.Suddenly, as if remembering something, Liam looked at her and said, "However, sin
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
