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
Winston was a young master in Pernier. It would be weirder if he were not a Mystic.His status made him beyond suspicion as well.After all, he was a handsome guy who lacked nothing, especially since he was already an earthbound immortal.Why would he practice an evil technique like Darkness to Light?When Chad saw his name, he felt that the guy was suspicious.Chad felt that it would be stranger if those women's disappearances had nothing to do with Winston."Mr. Yaseer said he's on the way!" After making the call, Sean took his phone back and sighed."They were all small internet celebrities under Sable Media."Chad was almost sure that Winston was involved.Then Sean seemed to remember something and said, "Do you know who reported the case?"Chad shook his head, indicating that he did not know.Sean slapped his thigh and said, "Doreen's daughter, Coco?"Chad immediately called Coco. "Where are you?""Chad, I'm live streaming right now. What's up?"Coco got up from in f
However, Liam retorted firmly, "I don't know. I'm not a Mystic!""Fine! Since you claim that you don't know, I'll tell you. This is a Gold Energy Pill!"Chad spoke each word slowly as his anger reached its peak. Even his voice shook. "This pill is revered as an immortal pill by martial artists, and the material for refining the pill is humans, specifically females!"Liam's grip on the evidence bag tightened, and his expression froze. "I'm leaving now. I'll contact you when we have the results!"Chad stopped him. "If you're going to compare the DNA, then forget it. You won't be able to find a match."Liam said, "How do I know if I don't try? And I need to confirm that this pill has human tissue."Could he really confirm it?Chad did not know. After all, the process and principles of refining pills involved extracting the essence from medicinal herbs.After the essence was extracted, the residual dregs would not be included in the pills.However, the Gold Energy Pill was differe
