Therefore, Sebastian wanted to provoke the people behind them to anger by making them die a tragic death. After that he was hoping that they would reveal their targets.Sebastian glanced coldly at the Yutarians and gestured for Zane to call the emergency room in the modern medicine department.After all, the hospital had to go on operating as usual. They couldn't let the Yutarian scum die in the traditional medicine consultation room.However, by the time the medical staff arrived, the Yutarians had already been tormented beyond belief. Even speaking took a great effort on their part, and they could only be carried off on stretchers by the medical staff.The truth was that even the most advanced medical techniques in the emergency room would be unable to save them."I didn't think you knew martial arts too, Dr. Ballard!" Madeline looked excited as she waved her hands around to emphasize her point."I guess you can say I know a bit about it," Sebastian said very modestly. He had
Isabel had obviously been studying the product for the past few days with the technical department. A product that had been able to get rid of Marissa's blemishes within three hours when nothing had worked on them for over a decade had tremendous commercial potential.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's better than I thought it would be.""Which bottle do you think would be better? The transparent one, or the pink one, or the blue one?" Isabel pointed at the bottles on the table, which were a variety of colors and shapes."I think this one is good," Henrietta said, picking up a pink bottle.She was a young woman, after all. She preferred bottles that looked more attractive. Aaron glanced at the bottles on the table and thought for a moment. He picked up one of the bottles and said, "This one's better."The one he had picked up was a transparent bottle, but it was larger in volume and could hold more.Obviously, the men thought of things in a more practical way.Seb
Sebastian rolled his eyes at Aaron. Why was he being so tactless? Did he have to mention that?Meanwhile, Hunter and two Yutarians in traditional Yutarian clothes were in a neighborhood of villas in the suburbs of Steinberg. They were sitting in a luxurious private room at Grande Club, sipping tea.At that moment, a black-clad man walked in and said something softly in Hunter's ear.Hunter couldn't help frowning. He instructed him at once, "Tell them to carry them in. After that, send someone to get Mr. Baxter in here."The black-clad man nodded and turned to leave."Mr. Stellus, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Monte have both been killed," Hunter said to one of the tanned Yutarian men."What?" Juan Stellus' eyebrow twitched. They had only been in Dramon for two days, and two of his subordinates had already gotten killed?In less than five minutes, several black-clad men carried two stretchers inside.The two Yutarian men on the stretchers had died horrible deaths. There were still pieces
"Are you looking down on the warriors of Yutaria, Mr. Baxter?" Gordon's contemptuous expression had provoked Juan's fury even more. The atmosphere in the room grew tense at once. Gordon was disdainful, and Juan was getting angrier. Seeing that they were about to come to blows, Hunter hastily tried to make peace. "Mr. Stellus, Mr. Baxter, please calm down. We're all friends here. I think we should bury our two loyal warriors first."He could not just stand by and watch Gordon and Juan fight with each other.They were on his territory, after all. No matter which of them got injured, or if one of them got killed by the other, it would cause trouble for him to no small degree.In the end, Hunter managed to coax both Juan and his friend Ferdinando Barez to leave, looking annoyed. Hunter arranged for the dead Yutarians to be sent to the crematorium. "Mr. Baxter, don't you think it was unwise for you to make that comment?" Hunter frowned slightly. Juan had been sent by the high-l
"What do you mean by that?" Juan shot to his feet and glared at Hunter.Hunter laughed quickly and said, "I only have good intentions. I was just thinking about your safety.""How good can a kid from Dramon be?" Ferdinando unsheathed his Yutarian machete, looking disdainful. The blade gleamed brightly."We'll kill him!" Juan pulled out his machete and sliced off a corner of the table. "If you really are bold enough to do so, I don't mind arranging for someone to lead you there," Hunter said, seizing the opportunity."Alright. We will go and meet this Ballard fellow tonight!" Juan fell prey to Hunter's goading in the end.Late at night, a black sedan brought Juan and Ferdinando into the Steinberg city area. The car finally stopped about a hundred feet away from the convenience store.A black-clad man pointed in the direction of the convenience store and asked, "Do you see that, gentlemen? Sebastian should be inside." With that, he got back into the car.Juan and Ferdinando un
"Mr. Ballard, it really is a misunderstanding." Juan tossed his Yutarian machete onto the ground and fell to his knees in front of Sebastian."Are you part of the Sanguis Cult?" Sebastian asked coldly."Since you know that we're from the Sanguis Cult, why would you still dare to—" Before Juan could finish, Sebastian's hand landed heavily on the top of his head.Sebastian looked at the corpses on the floor and took out some corpse-dissolving powder, which he sprinkled over their bodies. In the blink of an eye, the corpses had dissolved into a puddle of bloody water. Sebastian put their Yutarian machetes away.Although Yutarians were inferior on the whole, their machetes were made very well. He could use them for self-defense. Rose looked at the two puddles of bloody water on the floor and frowned as she said, "You know how to concoct corpse-dissolving powder?"It was a miraculous kind of drug that was only found in legends and had been lost for almost a thousand years. It was t
Sebastian only scoffed and walked out of Samuel's office without looking back. Traditional medicine was on the decline, and there were very few students in medical universities who chose to study it. Even if they signed up for it at first, it was only because the scores required for it were lower. They would just transfer to modern medicine after successfully entering the medical university.Samuel held all traditional medicine doctors in contempt, especially as he was running a university and not a hospital. It didn't matter how skilled Sebastian was. What Samuel wanted was to attract more students. Samuel's ability to attract students would determine the likeliness of his promotion. That was what he was truly concerned about, not the level of Sebastian's skills in medicine.After Sebastian had left, Samuel bent over the documents and continued to work on them. Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Alexander, which made him laugh coldly. "Hello, Alexa
"Is it Ballard?" Howell had heard of Sebastian before. He was friends with both Walter and Alexander, and he had heard them mention Sebastian multiple times in the past.Therefore, Howell had also heard of many of Sebastian's legendary feats. It was just that he had never had a chance to meet him."How did you know?" Alexander asked, confused."You mention him to me every once in a while. How could I not know? It's just a pity that Dr. Ballard seems to be so busy. I've been planning to pay him a visit, but it's harder than getting to the moon! Do you have a way for me to meet him?" Howell asked eagerly."A way? Of course! I even want him to go and give a lecture over at your workplace!" Alexander said happily."Really? Where are you? I'll come and see you right now!" Howell almost dropped his phone in excitement.Alexander and Howell arranged to go and meet Sebastian together, which delighted the latter.He was a traditional medicine doctor himself, and he greatly admired a doct
After all, Octavius was an expert at the fourth level of the Celestial realm. How could he be unable to withstand even one blow from Sebastian?There was a thump as Octavius fell heavily on the ground about 40 feet away. He spat out a huge mouthful of blood.After a long time, he raised his head in disbelief and stared at Sebastian in shock. "You… How could you—"Sebastian huffed coldly and toyed with the Spirimist pill in his hand. He scoffed and asked, "Is everyone in the Healer Sect an idiot like you? If I can refine Spirimist pills, how could I be less powerful than you?"The heavens have their own laws, so we'll end things here for today. I hope the Healer Sect will learn its lesson. If you cause trouble again, I wouldn't mind wiping out your entire sect."Remember, I never joke with my enemies." Sebastian turned and walked toward the entrance of the venue. As Sebastian passed the crowd, they all stood up to clear a path for him. They watched him walk off into the distance.
There was an uproar from the crowd as soon as Sebastian spoke."Isn't Ballard being too harsh? The head elder of the Healer Sect has already humbled himself to beg him. Why isn't he showing him even the slightest respect?""That's right. Cedric is a rare talent in the Healer Sect. If he just dies in this manner, it will be a loss to the mystic sects.""Even if it's just for the sake of those in the mystic sects, Ballard shouldn't be so cold and unfeeling."The crowd muttered darkly. They were all against Sebastian.Octavius felt more confident when he heard the crowd. The crowd's emotions were very important. If everyone felt sorry for Cedric, they could exert pressure on Sebastian and force him to let Cedric go. Even the Warrior League wouldn't risk angering the crowd for Sebastian's sake. Besides, Sebastian's biggest ally was the Warrior League. Would he really offend the Healer Sect so thoroughly?Octavius smiled thinly and said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, I'm sure you'v
Cries of surprise and disbelief erupted at once. Cedric, who had been confident of winning, was now completely dumbstruck."This is impossible! You're cheating!" he shouted. He couldn't suppress the shock he felt. However, he realized at once that he had blurted it out without thinking.There wasn't a single person within 80 feet of Sebastian. How could Sebastian have cheated?Octavius glared grimly at Cedric. There were over a thousand pairs of eyes watching. Saying that Sebastian had cheated was ridiculous.He was thinking quickly about how to extricate themselves from the mess when a gold pill fell into Sebastian's palm."Although Spirimist pills aren't top-grade mystic pills, I'm sure it's several grades higher than a Spiritual Energy Pill. Would any of the senior members from the Healer Sect be interested in testing out its authenticity?" Sebastian held the Spirimist pill in his hand and turned to look in the northwest direction, where the Medcrofters' grandstand was. A
"Hmph!" Octavius huffed coldly and turned his head to one side."The competition now begins." A white-robed old man walked up to the rostrum and announced the beginning of the competition in a loud voice.The apprentices of the Healer Sect and Medcity all crowded around the sides of the arena to pick the medicinal herbs that they needed. The participants knew that they weren't the main event that day—they were only there to make Cedric stand out.However, everyone wanted to show off their skills in front of a crowd of a thousand people. If they caught the eye of the elders in their sects, they would be able to get the elders' skill passed on to them.Even if they couldn't shine as brightly as Cedric did, they could at least become one of the core apprentices. Sebastian yawned and asked Cedric rather impatiently, "Are you going to compete or not? Aren't you just refining Spiritual Energy Pills? Must you dawdle so much? My time is limited." He pointed to his wristwatch as he spok
Cedric said, "To tell you the truth, I'll be refining a Spiritual Energy Pill today! Didn't you just say that my Spiritual Energy Pill is worthless compared to a mystic pill? Then refine one and show us all! Do you dare to do so?"Cedric shook the waiver he was holding.A white-clad youth sitting behind Octavius couldn't help frowning slightly. His name was Nicholas Thornton, and he was the young sect leader of Medcity. Medcity hadn't sent him to compete in the Medical Congress. His only purpose was to observe. Besides, Nicholas was self-aware and knew that he was no match for Cedric with his own knowledge of pill refining. Therefore, there was no need for Medcity to embarrass itself. However, Medcity and the Healer Sect had a very close relationship. Nicholas couldn't help being worried that Cedric would make a mistake. He lowered his voice and said to Octavius, "Mr. Fuller, if that Ballard fellow really can refine a pill that's in the mystic pill grade, won't Cedric…"Nicholas
"You're much too inexperienced to compete in refining pills. I'll give you one final chance to give up on the idea of betting your life," Sebastian said impassively.Cedric wasn't the only one who laughed. Everyone in the venue burst out into mocking laughter."Who does he think he's talking to? That's the young Refinist of the Healer Sect.""Yeah! I heard that a year ago, Cedric had already attained the skill of refining Spiritual Energy Pills, which are the most premium kind among the true pills. How can a layman like Sebastian be so boastful?""I think that he's just trying to give himself a way out. It's a pity that Cedric won't fall for it."Everyone in the crowd was speaking contemptuously about Sebastian.Cedric clasped his hands behind his back and began the Square Steps footwork. He walked slowly down the steps and gazed in Sebastian's direction as he said, "Ballard, I'm not looking down on you, but what gives you the right to brag in front of me?"I don't mind telling
In the center of the venue, there was an empty piece of land that was about the size of a soccer field. Seats rose in tiers around it. The tiers were already filled with martial sect apprentices who had come to watch.Bertie and Drake headed straight to the main grandstand on the north side. They bowed respectfully to Sebastian and said, "Please be seated, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian did not stand on formality with the two of them. He sat in the main seat of the north grandstand at once.Bertie and Drake sat down on either side of him. This made several of the younger people present look at Sebastian. Opposite them, in the south grandstand, several elderly men stared at Sebastian as they muttered to each other. They pointed at him from time to time. One of the old men looked displeased as he spoke to those around him."Those are the elders of the Healer Sect. The ones sitting beside them are elders of other sects who are on good terms with the Healer Sect," Drake said quietly in Se
After ten minutes or so, Sebastian felt as if he was sitting on a volcano. Every single pore in his body felt as if it would catch on fire.The air around Sebastian burst into flame, and even his clothes were burnt to ash. However, the extreme heat turned into extreme cold in just an instant.Layers of frost and ice coated Sebastian's body at once. It was the result of light and dark energy fighting for authority in Sebastian's body. After some time, the spiritual energy in Sebastian's body suddenly surged toward his limbs. Everything happened so suddenly that his skin cracked into deep fissures, unable to withstand the immense pressure.Blood seeped out of the cracks on his skin.Sebastian felt as if there were countless bugs and ants gnawing his body, and the pain made him wish that he was dead. Finally, after an hour, the cracks on Sebastian's body slowly healed as the two conflicting forces of spiritual energy merged into one.As Sebastian slowly opened his eyes, a powerfu
At Sebastian's current level, celestial pills were beyond him.After hearing Sebastian's description, both Bertie and Drake looked at him, their eyes shining. Prior to hearing this, they had been suspicious of where the energy replenishing pills had come from, but they no longer doubted that Sebastian had refined them."I didn't expect you to have the skills of a Refinist at such a young age, Mr. Ballard," Bertie said, looking awed.Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Refining pills isn't actually that complicated. You just need to control the spiritual energy and the heat with your mind so that you can speed up the decomposition of the medicinal herbs in the medicine furnace. "However, Refinists have different levels of skill, so the effective components that remain at the end of the process also differ."Bertie and Drake both looked confused, so Sebastian didn't explain further. He weighed the cauldron in one hand and said firmly, "Rise!"The palm-sized cauldron rose up into t
