"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
Chad did not linger for long when he left the warehouse.He knew that Doug would speak the truth when the transaction was completed. Just as Chad was about to leave, he saw Weldon blocking his way. Then, he saw a slender man entering Doug's shop."Monkey, you're here!""Uncle Dog, thanks for your hard work. Nothing's been touched, right?""Nothing's been touched. You just need to have someone move it."The visitor was Monte, known as Monkey, who had connections with Winston.However, Chad was not aware of his identity at that moment.Chad was attracted by the strong aura emanating from Monte, confirming that he was a martial artist.Monte called out to two people and went to the warehouse with Doug. Soon, they lifted the box and loaded it into a car.Then, Monte carefully checked the contents in the truck compartment and smiled at Doug, saying, "Everything seems to be in order. The final payment has been made. Let's go!"The whole process took less than five minutes, from Mon
Crack!After some time, with his neck twisted half around and his face facing his back, Doug turned his neck to its original position."Ouch, that really hurts! I said I've opened my spiritual eye and have a guardian immortal—I wasn't joking!"Doug looked like an ordinary person, so Monte did not expect the twist of events.In a state of shock, he wanted to make another move but found that his body could not move.At that moment, Doug's eyes had vertical pupils. His voice was hoarse and mysterious, not sounding like a human."I'll break one of your arms. Tell him the Pythons only helped him find the Corpse Herb because of his grandfather."Crack, snap, crack!One of Monte's arms suddenly broke into several sections.Monte managed to endure it without making a sound.Thump!Monte sat down on the ground, and it took a lot of effort for him to stand up.Doug moved his neck and grinned. "You don't know how the world works at all. Do you think you can provoke those from the nort
In the end, Matilda gathered all the medicinal herbs for two prescriptions before dragging Marilyn to look at the buildings.Chad and Weldon did not find anything worthwhile in the herbal market, so Chad returned to Doug's shop around noon.Whenever he saw Chad, Doug got a headache. "What are you doing back here, kid?""Am I not allowed to come back for nothing? I wanted to ask you where you got the Corpse Herb from."Facing Chad's inquiry, Doug smiled disdainfully and replied, "That's 7,000 dollars. Pay up, and I'll talk. Cash or transfer is fine!"Yet, without a second thought, Chad transferred the money. "Well, 7,000 received!"Doug was dumbfounded. "Damn, I miscalculated. I forgot you're made of money."Chad smirked and said, "Speak!""Dead Man's Gully on Mount White. It's full of Corpse Herbs, but people can't get in!"Hearing Doug's reluctant words, Chad finally understood.There were many places in the northeast called Dead Man's Gullys, and they were mostly eerie plac
Chad had gone to the eastern city's herbal market to find Doug.So, he took out the prescription, and Doug snatched it away as soon as he saw it.However, after looking at the contents, Doug threw it away."Are you kidding me? You're basically asking me to get you dragons and phoenixes. Where am I supposed to find that?"Chad said, "If you can't get phoenixes, you should be able to get dragons, right? They say that pythons become dragons when the time comes—"That angered Doug, who grabbed Chad's collar and said, "Stop eyeing Lord Fifth!""I'm back!" Just as they were speaking, a graceful beauty walked into the shop.Doug quickly smiled and said, "Miss Sixth, you're back. Have you eaten today?"Chad was stunned when he saw the beauty and exclaimed, "Old Dog, she looks fine?"However, Doug disdainfully said, "Didn't you hear what I called her? Miss Sixth!"As they spoke, the beauty walked upstairs alone, and her tired voice could be heard from the stairs. "I'm exhausted. The c
That reminded Doug—as a Mystic, he knew Janice had been subjected to Darkness to Light.Chad's reminder also made Doug suddenly come to his senses, slapping his forehead as he cursed, "Damn it! It's been too long. How could I forget about this?""Police! Have you seen these two women?"At that moment, two police officers entered Doug's shop, displaying two photos of women on their phones.Doug was distracted and angrily replied, "I haven't seen them. And even if I did, I wouldn't remember. There are so many people here every day. Who could remember all of them?"Seeing Doug's bad mood, one of the officers chuckled. "Mr. Doug, what's wrong?""Mind your own business! What's going on this time?"The officer smiled and said, "They're missing. They disappeared without a trace. Strangely, these two people were born in the same year, month, and day!"Chad unintentionally calculated a date in his mind.Chad blurted out, "They were both born on the 17th of December 2001…"When Chad me
