Based on what Kenneth has told Hutton so far, it seems like the Venerable have a way of quickly collecting this herbs which made Hutton to decide within him that Kenneth will help him meet his Venerable.
Right now Hutton is in need of this medicinal herbs since it might be helpful both on him and also the surbodinates he will be getting in the future. So now that he has a way of getting the medicinal herbs, he wasn’t hesitant to exploit it.
After Hutton and Kenneth who is with a plastic bag got into the former’s house, they swiftly went into the guest quarter before entering the bathroom.
In the bathroom, warm water could be seen in the bathtub which was filled to limit. When Kenneth saw this warm water, he immediately became confused as he thought.
’Didn’t I see him entering the front courtyard of his house? How is this warm water prepared?’
However, he didn’t know that Hutton home is actually a smart based home. With a certain device in Hutton’s hands, he can be able to do some specific task in the house without being in it.
This function allowed Hutton with the help of the smart home device to tell the house to prepare warm water in the guest bathroom bathtub even before he left the restaurant.
"Can you hand me the medicinal herbs and wait outside for a bit?" Hutton asked with a calm look on his face. When Kenneth heard him, he immediately tossed the thoughts he had a side as he gave Hutton the plastic bag before leaving the bathroom.
’Seems like he really trust me’ Hutton thought with a friendly smile on his face after recieving the plastic bag. But he quickly removed that thought from his head after seeing Kenneth leave the bathroom as he opened the plastic bag and placed it on a ceramic table not far from the bathtub.
’Seems like he really got the right stuff’ Hutton thought while observing the various types of herbs that are in the plastic before he began to bring them out and sort them.
After 30 minutes went by, Hutton finally arranged all the herbs in the plastic bag into five portions.
’I gained really well this time’ Hutton thought with an excited smile on his face while staring at these five portions. Apart from the portion Kenneth will be using, Hutton will have acquire four whole portions to himself.
Although these herbs can only be used once and using more will be a waste, he wasn’t even considering that since he will be using the remaining three portions to strengthen at least three people who were willing to be his surbodinate.
’Now let’s get back to business’ Hutton thought before putting each of the portion in it’s own bag while leaving a portion on the ceramic table.
After hiding the four of the five portions in a secretive place the bathroom, Hutton puting the remaining portion into the bathtub that is filled with warm water.
"All done" Hutton said while staring at the bathtub that is now filled with a slightly green colored liquid which was exuding out a strong medicinal auroma.
"You can come in now" Hutton exclaimed after staring at the bathtub for some minutes. As soon as he said that, the only door in the bathroom opened as Kenneth walked back in.
"Huh? What is that strong smell?" Kenneth suddenly asked with a frown on his face right after he walked into the bathroom.
"It’s coming from the bathtub which I put the medicinal herbs in" Hutton said with a light chuckle after seeing the look on Kenneth’s face.
Although the medicinal auroma in the bathroom is very strong for Kenneth, it is also the opposite for Hutton right now. During his previous life, he has percieves auroma that was way stronger and harsher than the auroma he was breathing in now.
"Oh" Kenneth said as realization dawned upon him. But right after that, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face as he thought.
’I can’t believe I made a fool of myself’
"Alright, quickly take off all your clothes and get into the bathtub" Hutton said still in a light chuckle after observing Kenneth’s face for a few moments.
"Everything?" Kenneth asked with a strange look on his face. But Hutton didn’t feel fazed by his look as he confirmed.
"Yes everything"
"Well... Alright" Kenneth said as he began to take of his clothes while saying in his mind.
’Based on how long I have interacted with him, I doubt he is that kind of man’
After a few moments went by, Kenneth is now lying in the bathtub completely naked but due to the liquid, only his face which is out of the liquid can be seen.
"So what next?" Kenneth asked curiously after making himself feel comfortable in the bathtub.
"Well normally I would have told you to also bury your head in the liquid but since you haven’t done it before, it should be ok if we start with this" Hutton said as he quickly grapped a stool and sat down right beside the bathtub before continuing.
"Now I want you to close your eyes and quickly clear out your mind. Let it be completely blank for a rather long period of time. Once you have done that, I want you to calm your heart and body movement. Be relaxed to the extent you haven’t relaxed before"
"Ok" Kenneth said solemnly before taking a deep breath as shutting his eyes. Not too long after he did that, he suddenly frowned before abruptly opening his eyes.
"I can’t seem to complete the first part of what you told me to do" Kenneth eventually said with a worried look on his face.
"You don’t hsve to feel anxious Mr. Kenneth. What I told you to do can normally be done in a gradual process, besides the liquid is their to aid you in achieving it so you just have to keep trying. I will be at the living room but I will also be coming to check up on you if you have made any progress" Hutton said as he stood up from the stool.
"Ok Mr. Hutton" Kenneth said in a sigh of relief before shutting his eyes with a resolute expression on his face. As for Hutton, he calmly left him at the bathroom and went downstairs to the living room.
’I wonder how long he will be in their’ Hutton thought as he went to the drink shelf to get a a drink before resting on a sofa facing the TV.
And so, Hutton began to watch some while he waits for Kenneth to possibly have a breakthrough. After an hour flew by, Hutton finally switched off the TV as he thought.
’Let’s see if he has made any progress’
While having that thought in his mind, Hutton quickly stood up and went upstairs before arriving at the guest which is the first room to meet at the second floor.
But before he got into the guest room, he suddenly felt something which immediately made him pause.
’He succeeded so quickly?’ Hutton thought with a surprised look on his face before he quickly dashed into the room. As he did so, he met Kenneth who surprisenly is seated cross legged on the floor while being in a meditative state.
’Looks like I wasn’t wrong on what a felt earlier’ Hutton thought with a relieved smile now on his face.
Right now not only could Kenneth spread his perception across a certain distance in his surroundings, but he is exuding out an aura only Grandmaster could exude.

After some minutes flew by as Hutton observed Kenneth who is in his clothes meditating, the later finally opened his eyes while an excited smile began to crop out of his face
"Mr. Hutton, am eternally grateful for what you have done for me. If you have any problems that will bother you in the future, please feel free and tell me and I won’t hesitate to get it done" Kenneth said with a solemn and grateful look on his face.
"You don’t have to mention it Mr. Kenneth, I was just doing what am paid to do that’s all" Hutton said while shaking his head with a light smile on his face.
"Even if you are being paid to do this, I will still be forever grateful for what you have done for me" Kenneth said in an heartfelt tone.
How long has Kenneth been stuck in the Master rank for? It can be as long as the entire life of a maturing teenager which almost made him to give up on trying to breakthrough.
But after meeting Hutton for the first time, it seems like he has gotten a slight hope which have now successfully made him a Grandmaster ranked boxer.
"So do you now know what was keeping you from breaking through to the Grandmaster rank?" Hutton asked with a deep smile on his face. When Kenneth heard him, he quickly became fully solemn as he said.
"Yes. All I needed to breakthrough to the next rank is to have inner peace. I have been too involved in the mundane worldly affairs which have prevented me from getting inner peace. But now that I have inner which have made me a Grandmaster, I have decided to go into isolation in the wild and see if I can still progress on my path to physical power"
"You are going to isolate yourself in the forest?" Hutton asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes I will, the Thomas family can’t help me any longer so I will be shutting myself out from anyone that can normally reach me except from you Mr. Hutton. If you ever need my help, just give me a call and I will be there as fast as I can" Kenneth said now with a light smile on his face.
’I never knew he was this decisive’ Hutton thought while observing Kenneth in surprise.
