Sebastian heard Whitney crying out, and he hurriedly turned to help her up."Sebastian… I'm alright," Whitney said. "I just moved too quickly, and it tugged at the wound. I'm fine."Although Sebastian had dressed her wound, she had still been severely injured by Terence's attack. Full recovery would take time. "I'm going out to take care of some business, and I'll be back right away. Lyanna and Nina will take care of you. You mustn't pull at the wound again. If your natural energy is damaged, it won't be easy to deal with," Sebastian instructed gently as he helped Whitney to sit down.Whitney looked up at him and said, "But I have an interview this afternoon to hire someone to manage the pharmaceutical factory. I can't just skip it. "The pharmaceutical factory has stopped operations for quite a few days already, and the deadline for our new batch of products is approaching. We can't delay a single day more."Sebastian took a deep breath and said thoughtfully, "It's alright. You
Although Sebastian and Godfrey had had their differences, Godfrey was still a man of status. It would not befit his position to cause trouble for Sebastian or to pick on him.After a moment, Sebastian was led to the main doors of the hall. There was a massive statue erected in the small courtyard outside it.Sebastian looked up at it. The words "The Modern God of Medicine" were written in huge letters on the plaque in front of it.Sebastian almost laughed out loud when he saw it. The statue was of his mentor, the current sect leader of the Sacred Medicine Society. There were already more than ten Warriors gathered in the great hall. Almost all of them were looking at Sebastian, who was standing outside the doors. Sebastian had become the center of attention instantly. Several Warriors who had traveled from other states looked rather puzzled. Was the young man standing in front of them the one who was going to battle against Godfrey in pill refining that day?At that moment, G
"If I fail to keep my word, I will meet the same fate as that vessel!" Sebastian declared. His voice wasn't loud, but he had injected vital energy into it. Even the crowd on the plaza at the front of the mountain heard him clearly.Those who had witnessed the copper censer explode were completely dumbstruck with fear by what they had seen.Everything Sebastian had said and done seemed rather familiar to the crowd. It seemed to resemble someone they knew! However, no one wanted to mention the name of that person, and no one was brave enough to make wild guesses. That person was a legend among the mystic martial arts sects. He was also the only person who had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, and no one from the Nine Sects could hold their heads up high in front of him!Godfrey, who was in the great hall, felt his pupils constrict. He was filled with fear when he saw the shattered copper censer, but he forced himself to maintain a calm expression. Any martial arts exper
Branson and Kody, like their nicknames, were crazy about swords. From a distance, they didn't resemble ordinary men but rather unsheathed swords. The murderous energy emanating from them filled the atmosphere, making one feel as if they were teetering on the edge of an abyss. At that moment, someone among those who were following Godfrey recognized Branson and Kody at once. "That's… that's Mr. Jagger from the Gladius Sect!""Isn't that Mr. Hartson beside him?" "They didn't come specially to be witnesses, did they?" Speculation rose all around them. "I heard that Mr. Hartson has been stuck at a bottleneck for over ten years and has been unable to break through. Is he going to use this opportunity to ask for a pill?" a young, thin man muttered quietly. However, no one felt that he was insulting Branson and Kody. After all, no matter how high the level one attained, there would always be bottlenecks in training. That was when refinists could really prove their value. If B
Branson and Kody would both eliminate Sebastian, and Godfrey wouldn't have to lift a finger.Refinists were valuable, but the fewer of them there were, the more valuable they would be. Godfrey had no wish to gain a strong competitor."Oh?" Branson and Kody both looked at Sebastian. However, a look of disappointment and disdain flashed in their eyes when they saw that Sebastian was just a young man."Mr. Callahan, you're not referring to him, are you?" Branson's brow was tightly furrowed. He clearly held Sebastian in contempt.Who would be brave enough to take a pill refined by such a young refinist? It wasn't even a question of whether or not he would be able to achieve a breakthrough. If the pill wasn't made properly, one could even die. Godfrey smiled slightly and pointed at the pill cauldron in the courtyard, under which a fire had been lit. "You may not know this, but Sebastian came specifically to have a battle in pill refining with me today. These medicine cauldrons were
After a few seconds of silence, Godfrey took a step forward and said harshly, "Alright. In order to be fair, you can use any of the medicinal herbs here. We'll decide the winner based on the grade of the pills that are refined."As soon as he finished, over a dozen Fate Sect apprentices carried hundreds of different medicinal herbs into the center of the venue. They placed them near the medicine cauldron before retreating."Hmph! You ignorant young man! Let me show you what the true art of pill refining is!" Godfrey strode forward and went up to one of the pill cauldrons. He pulled up his sleeves and struck the cauldron hard with the palm of his hand!There was a loud ringing sound. Just as everyone was confused, fire flared up under the pill cauldron all of a sudden.The white-hot flames danced in the wind, and even those in the crowd who were about 100 paces away felt as if they were being consumed by fire. It was too hot to bear!"Dragon Flames!' Godfrey yelled once more. The
Sebastian didn't care at all. He went over to the pile of medicinal herbs and bent over to examine them. "Starcloud grass?" Sebastian plucked an ordinary-looking weed from the pile. He scrutinized it for a long time before he was sure he wasn't mistaken.Herbs like that were essential for refining gold mystic pills, and they couldn't be found on the market at all. The stalk of starcloud grass was already worth more than 100 million on its own.There were more than a dozen other precious kinds of medicinal herbs that were pretty much extinct.After looking closely for a while, Sebastian picked a few ordinary-looking herbs and tossed them casually into his pill cauldron.When Sebastian ordered someone to carry the pill cauldron's cover over, Branson finally couldn't help saying, "Young man, I may not know anything about pill refining, but I'm almost 100% sure that you're a layman. "There's no need to waste everyone's time. Grovel in apology to Mr. Callahan as agreed and pay him t
Rosalie was silent for a while on the other end of the phone before saying gently, "Alright. I'll deliver your message to the Windsors. And… watch out for your safety."Rosalie knew that since Sebastian wasn't in Steinberg, he must have gone to the Fate Sect for the pill-refining battle with Godfrey. She had warned him because she was worried that he would be careless.Sebastian smiled and hummed in response before hanging up.Godfrey's pill cauldron suddenly let out a giant rumbling noise. There was the sound of metal breaking, and the pill cauldron was suddenly covered in cracks. "Oh no!" Godfrey, who had been looking triumphant, looked around when he heard the sound.When he saw what had happened, his expression contorted at once. The pill cauldron was clearly unable to withstand such high temperatures, and it was showing signs of cracking.The pill cauldron was about to collapse, and the dozen or so expensive medicinal herbs he'd put in would all go to waste. Not only that,
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
