They were alarmed by the bloodstains all over the Hall of Herbs, especially when they saw Chad's pale and weak appearance. Cynthia could not help but cry in despair."Chad, what happened to you?""It's nothing. I want to ask you—what's the new company's name?"Cynthia replied, "The Mystic Group."Chad smiled. "Just as I guessed! Alright! Spread the word—members of the Mystic Pavilion will each establish subsidiary companies under the Mystic Group as the parent company. Then, we'll jointly establish the Mystic Pharmaceutical Group."Colleen curiously asked, "Chad, aren't you uninterested in money?"Chad smiled. "I'm not interested in money, so I'm not starting this company for money!""Then why?"Chad smirked at the question."To become the strongest. To ascend and see what's beyond this life!"The three looked up at the sky, not understanding what Chad meant.Chad then took out a list of medicinal materials and said, "If you come across any of these materials, help me buy th
Bang!Weldon placed a pitch-black coffin in the backyard of the Hall of Herbs."This is my sister; she's inside."The three girls were dumbfounded. The ebony coffin was 1.7 meters in length and 60 centimeters wide.Ebony wood was hailed as the spirit of all woods and the most revered wood. At the very least, a single ebony coffin would cost hundreds of thousands, and if it was top-quality ebony, it could cost millions!Most importantly, why was his sister inside a coffin?Chad rushed toward the coffin; he sensed something very familiar.Colleen circled the coffin, occasionally sniffing it. Then, she asked, "What disease does your sister have that she has to lie in a coffin?""You have to ask yourselves! It was the person who came to treat my sister who suggested she lie in the coffin."Colleen's words made Weldon anxious, and he said very excitedly, "If I knew what disease it was, then there would be no need to look for anyone else. I could treat her myself."Colleen was left
"Once it's dark, I'll come out, and when you see me, you'll understand the situation. I've had this condition for 23 years, but I still look like I'm 15."That angered Cynthia. They were all disciples of Rowan Keating and had seen all sorts of illnesses.So, she proudly said, "The black coffin is used to raise corpses. If someone needs to stay in a black coffin due to illness, as far as I know, it can only be someone afflicted with intestinal parasite infestation."The person in the coffin fell silent. After a long while, there was a sigh from inside. "Ah, this is truly a first for me. A doctor who knew what my illness was just by hearing my symptoms. I've been infected with an intestinal parasite, and only Ebony wood can suppress the poison. Even if I leave the coffin at night, it's only for a short time."It dawned on Chad. No wonder he felt that Weldon's sister was familiar; an intestinal parasite infested her.For Chad, that was too easy!Chad had been transformed into a Para
Then, Chad said to the others, "Everyone else, please leave!"Once everyone had left, only he and Wanda remained in the backyard.Chad picked up the needle and asked, "Before we begin, I need to know how the witch doctor who controlled you died."Without any hesitation, Wanda replied, "My brother killed him. That guy tried to force himself on me, but I gave him a beating. Later, he sought revenge on me and secretly inflicted me with a month-long parasite to turn me into this."Chad was somewhat speechless because the witch doctor Wanda mentioned seemed pathetic.There were so many ways a witch doctor could control people. There were parasites for love, obedience, compliance, and many others. Yet, the guy tried to turn her into a puppet? Could he not think of using anything else?"Let's begin!"Chad did not waste any words or ask any further questions. He pinched the needle covered in sulfur and pierced it into the back of Wanda's head.That was the key point in controlling the
Boxes!Chad thought of the box Lawson had given him and fetched it from the bedroom."I've just opened one layer. Can you tell me now?" Chad asked as he opened the metal box, revealing one layer.Wanda looked at the opened layer and pondered for a moment. "I can only tell you that the war started in 1999. I can't say anything else. "Unless you can completely unlock the seven layers of the box and obtain the participation badge, then you can know the whole truth."Chad was stunned. He had not expected the box to have seven layers with a participation badge inside."Regarding the badge—once you get it, someone will find you and tell you everything," Wanda explained, taking out a pentagonal badge with the words martial on the front and Hacniane on the back."Each person's badge is different. The badge of Mystics will have the word Mystic written on it. And don't even think about asking me to help you open the box. I can't help you because each box has a different method of opening
"Come in!"Chad let Weldon in and casually put away his laptop.After Weldon entered and closed the door, he grinned and expressed his thanks.Just when Chad was getting impatient, Weldon took out something."I heard you're not interested in money, so I want to repay you for curing my sister with this!"The moment Chad saw the object, he could not look away.A strong spiritual energy emanated from the object in Weldon's hand.Surprisingly, it was just a plant growing in a stone, with a strange three-petaled flower blooming at the top."What's this?"After receiving the inheritance, Chad confidently thought he knew all the medicinal herbs in the world.However, he did not recognize the small plant in front of him.Chad was confident that the small plant was definitely an herb.According to the records of the Mystics, no matter which famous healer it was, the basis for judging whether a herb had medicinal value was whether it had spiritual energy.Scratching his head, Weldon
"I look like a hedgehog."As she watched her face covered with needles in the mirror, Matilda laughed heartily and lowered her head to flip through the documents.When she saw the prescription on it, she remembered a herbal market near the office building she could visit the next day."Let's go to the herbal market tomorrow and then check out the office building," Matilda said as she removed the needles from her face and prepared to sleep after applying a hot towel. Then, there was a knock on the door.It was late at night, so Matilda cautiously looked through the peephole and only opened the door when she saw it was Marilyn."Why are you here so late?""I've been working overtime at the company. I don't want to go home. Can I stay here for the night?" Marilyn said, but she kept looking behind Matilda.With her Clairvoyant Eye, she saw many wandering spirits and ghosts in the room. However, Matilda was unaware and pulled Marilyn into the room."That's perfect. I was feeling bor
Doug Sharpe was a regular at Bloomington's herbal markets. He was an old friend who supplied herbs to the Hall of Herbs."Call me Uncle Dog! Boy, you divorced that rich woman, so are you returning to your old trade?"It was early in the morning, so there was no business yet. Doug drank his soup with some bread and slipped on his shoes before he stepped out, asking, "Pumpkin soup. Do you want some?"Chad waved his hand, scanning the herbs in the shops.There were all sorts of herbs there, with varying qualities, but nothing was fake."An old dog is still an old dog. I'll keep calling you what I used to call you.""Hey, it's been three years since you last came. So, what are you looking for? I'll ask around for you."Dough finished his soup in a few gulps and walked out of the shop.Chad stopped him. "I'm just here to take a look today, and it seems you have some impressive stuff here!"Doug was taken aback and looked deep into the shop, cautiously asking, "You never show up for
