Chapter 2172

Author: Celestial Clouds
"Green Plum Grass is extremely rare," Andre said as he frowned. "Ordinary people rarely use it, and many believe it to be a miraculous medicine. Only its seeds can be used as a medicinal ingredient; the stem and leaves are highly toxic."

Adrian felt conflicted. If only the seeds were effective, this left little opportunity for people like them, especially since he had no relationship with Leeroy.

"I need it badly though,” Adrian lamented.

"Claude mentioned it to me." Andre accepted a glass that Claude handed to me, calmly stating, "I've already examined Ms. Rozi and determined that Green Plum Grass will have no effect on her condition."

Adrian looked out the window, but Lionel was nowhere to be seen. He wondered where the latter had gone. Despite knowing he had urgent matters, Lionel deliberately avoided showing up. This proved quite frustrating.

Claude nudged Adrian and whispered, "Mr. Lionel just argued with Andre and they almost came down to fists."

Andre, having sharp ears, s

    Andre's words frightened Claude. Although Axel was dead, he had been his mentor. If things were investigated, he would undoubtedly be implicated. He started to panic. But looking at Adrian and seeing his calm expression, Claude breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Andre could not stay here forever and would leave soon.Unexpectedly, Adrian said, "Medicis Manor is the distributor. Before you arrived, we already eradicated the root cause of the pills."Claude almost fainted. Andre had just discussed a partnership with Adrian. In the future, Medicis Manor would supply medicinal ingredients to Debonaire City, a substantial business deal that could elevate Medicis Manor's status. But everything was now ruined."I know." Andre continued studying the Herb Compendium. "Claude lacks experience, but now that he’s in charge, I believe such a thing won't happen again."Claude nodded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling grateful. Adrian had shown complete wisdom and managed to gain A

    Halfway through, Andre found a chance and whispered, "Why did you bring him along, Adrian? He's an arrogant man who thinks he's all that. It's only a matter of time before he lands us in trouble.""He's actually a pretty nice guy who always treats patients for free. It's rare to find friendly and kind doctors just like yourself these days." Andre was flattered to hear this and thought that Adrian was a decent guy who took good care of everyone he crossed paths with. Moreover, Adrian kept everyone's hopes up, causing everyone to like him.However, Andre was still worried about the Blossom Needles. "Are you sure this is okay? He looks like he's high on Sol Pills, and his addiction is acting up. Just look at how distorted his face looks,” he commented.Adrian smiled. "You're both extremely skilled physicians, so you two could stand to benefit from learning from each other.""Fine. I just hate his face, that’s all." Andre felt secretly elated. "I hate your face too. If it weren’t f

    "You should ask him if he's okay with me helping you or not," Andre said with a smile as he glanced at Adrian. "I follow his orders.""What?!" The addict loosened his grip and collapsed to the ground. He knew there was no hope for him if Andre would only listen to Adrian."You're lying!" he shouted."It's the truth. I won't do anything that goes against his wishes,” Andre said firmly.This was a pact Adrian and Andre had made before setting out. Adrian was worried about encountering Shaquille's men on the road. If he were to be harmed, Andre feared that Adrian would take action.The addict looked at Adrian and revealed, "The Wolf Fangs have issued a bounty on you. Anyone who manages to harm you will receive a Sol Pill."Adrian felt relieved. He realized that Shaquille had dug his own grave making such a move. No faction was going to back him up now."Oh, I’m shaking in my boots!" Adrian said mockingly.The addict did not pick up on this though, "You should. Everyone's lying low

    “Amazing.” Bucky got very excited. He had been training hard lately, and of course, he improved significantly. He had been wanting to fight someone. “I’ll be leading. Nobody fights with me to be the first.”Adrian found this hilarious. Bucky was too arrogant. The people who were coming would only get more and more powerful. Nevertheless, with Andre’s protection, they could only sneak up on them.“We’ll leave it to you then!” Adrian said.Bucky was exuberant, and he got the job done quickly. He followed Adrian onto the carriage. With the sword in his hand, he was ready to fight.Adrian shut his eyes. He did not take this seriously at all. Those people would lose their battle strength as soon as they consumed the Sol Pills. The burst of energy they would have in the beginning aside, they would lose their strength right after that. Bucky could certainly handle them.However, Leeroy’s attitude was suspicious. He should know how the Wolf Fangs were. They could attack them by working wi

    Andre looked at Adrian’s carriage and panicked. He and Matteo were close. Naturally, he worried about him and wanted to go to him right away.“What happened?” Andre asked.“The wheel is broken.” The coachman looked wronged. He had checked the carriage before departure. It was all good and sturdy then.Adrian said smilingly, “The scenery is beautiful here. We should take a rest. Let’s catch some game and put them on a bonfire. I’m sure you’ve never tried that.”“I can’t eat right now!” Andre was panicking. All of the carriages were full, and they could not even fit one more person. “I’ve given my promise. I can’t go back on my word.”“This was an accident.” Adrian smiled. “We’ll let the coachman take a look at it. It’s futile for us to panic, so let’s just enjoy life a little.”They sat in a circle.Marissa was pale, seemingly exhausted. Some color returned to her face when she saw the beautiful scenery before her. “It’s beautiful!” she said.Bucky caught some fish, started a fi

    That man saw Adrian too. He was scared seeing the latter being able to rise to the air in a straight line. He attempted to run, never expecting Adrian to arrive right in front of him. His face was grim as if he was owed a big sum of money.Adrian ordered, “Tell me what Shaquille is plotting.”“I don’t know.” That man ran toward his horse in an attempt to leave.Whoosh!Adrian snatched the man’s sword from him and stabbed the horse’s abdomen. It fell to the ground without even making a sound.The man rolled off the horse, looking at Adrian in panic. His legs were shaking from the terror. He dared not hide the truth any longer, and he quickly said, “Mr. Shaquille plans to kill you and make you the Sol Pill scapegoat.”“That’s a pretty good idea!”Adrian had not expected Shaquille to do such a thing. Andre already knew about this matter though and would tell Leeroy. Could Shaquille shut Andre up?“Do you think he’ll succeed?” Adrian inquired.That man shrugged and revealed a prou

    Whoosh! Whoosh!Shaquille thought Andre was weak and would not be able to do anything against him. But just as Shaquille pounced, Andre threw ten needles at him.“Haha!” Andre clapped and smiled brightly. “I managed to throw the Blossom Needles, Lionel!”Lionel peeked out and said in slight disdain, “Finally, some improvement.” He glanced at Shaquille. “Your underling is pretty good-looking.”“Stop joking around.” Andre ran toward Lionel and hid behind him. “I don't know that man. I thought he was with you.”Shaquille panicked. He had ten needles in his arms, and he could not move. He would be doomed when Adrian returned. He had to think of a way to escape.“Ahh, I can’t breathe!” Shaquille cried out.“Oh no!” Andre felt beaten. He thought he had mastered the essence of the technique. “Come look at him for me, Lionel.” He was worried that Shaquille would die and hastily removed the needle in the middle of Shaquille’s arm.Just when Andre was about to check Shaquille’s pupils, t

    Adrian was relieved.It was a top priority that Andre remained healthy. He was the only one who could take him into Debonaire City.“Is there a shortcut we can take?” Adrian asked.“Into Debonaire City?” Andre stood up. He knew this area like the back of his hand. Rubbing his temples, he said, “There is, but it’s filled with potholes. I’m worried that Lionel won’t be able to handle it.”“Why not?” Lionel had been a wanderer for 20 years. Naturally, he had been through a lot of hardships. Such things were nothing to him. “Let’s take the shortcut to get to Debonaire City as quickly as possible.”Bucky grilled up more fish so that they would have enough food on the road. There would not be any markets on the shortcut.The group then departed. After traveling down the rocky road for some time, they spotted Debonaire City. Bucky seemed extra excited. “What a great idea, sir. We'll be entering the city soon, and Shaquille will be pissed. Haha!”However, he celebrated too early. When

Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so?

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained.

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power.

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
