Chapter 234: Chapter 234 - World Shaken
For a moment, I even questioned my own memory.
I quickly cross-referenced the herb list from my inherited memory again, and after confirming there was no error, I asked, "Mr. Wills, what do you mean by that?"
Wallace Wills showed no anger. He said calmly, "Mason, let me be honest with you, I understand the ingredients required for the Nine Transformation Pill better than you do."
I stayed quiet, waiting for Wallace Wills to go on.
Wallace Wills gradually elaborated, "The Nine Transformation Pill, called the Sacred Pill among martial artists, doesn’t need hundred-year-old Panax Ginseng and Knotweed. What it actually requires is two five-hundred-year-old herbs and three three-hundred-year-old herbs!"
"So, if you can create one Nine Transformation Pill, forget the herbs—I’ll hand over every herb in my Medicine Storage." Wallace Wills said with a grin.
This caught me off guard.
Could it be... my father’s inheritance was incorrect?
No way! Absolutely not!
Given my father’s abilities, creating the Nine Transformation Pill would definitely not be challenging.
In that case, there was only one explanation.
My father’s alchemy skills were even more exceptional!
With this realization, I said with a smile, "Mr. Wills, as long as you supply me with the herbs on my list, I can offer you a Nine Transformation Pill."
Upon hearing my words, Wallace Wills couldn’t help but break into laughter.
Wallace Wills’s student, looking even more furious, stepped forward and snapped, "Mason Raymond, are you still trying to fool us? Let me tell you..."
"Be quiet!" Wallace Wills cut off his student.
He gazed at me with a smile and said, "Mason, I can’t supply you with these herbs. Since you promised to trade the Nine Transformation Pill for my herbs, then you naturally need to figure out how to obtain the materials for the Nine Transformation Pills yourself."
I remained silent for a moment.
I looked up at Wallace Wills and said, "That’s not impossible, but the timeline might be longer. If you’re okay with that, I have no issue."
"Of course I’m okay with it." Wallace Wills struggled to hold back his laughter.
I nodded and chose not to say anything else.
After bidding farewell to Wallace Wills, I turned and walked away.
——
As Mason departed, Wallace Wills’s suspicions grew stronger.
"This Mason Raymond dares to trick Master for herbs?" the student scoffed.
Wallace Wills said with a smile, "That’s typical. People like him, who succeed young, often believe they’re the cleverest and view others as idiots."
"Good thing we didn’t work with him," the student said coldly.
Wallace Wills gestured dismissively, saying nothing more.
——
After I got back, I began planning to hunt for herbs.
If what Wallace Wills claimed was accurate, the Nine Transformation Pill could be traded for numerous premium herbs.
"Looks like I’ll need to figure out how to gather a collection of hundred-year herbs," I mused.
Though hundred-year herbs were scarce, my network had grown considerably stronger.
With my current resources, getting hundred-year herbs shouldn’t be too tough.
After considering various options, I finally chose to ask Conrad Schroeder for assistance.
Later, I pulled out my phone and dialed Conrad Schroeder.
The moment the call went through, Conrad on the other side chuckled and said, "Mr. Raymond, I was about to contact you. You must be calling about the Divine Medicine, right?"
I frowned, "Divine Medicine? What Divine Medicine?"
Conrad on the other end sounded somewhat surprised, "You don’t know? There’s supposedly a Divine Medicine about to emerge in White City, and many prominent families in the River North Region have caught wind of it and are heading over to test their luck."
This surprised me even more.
I had no knowledge of any Divine Medicine.
Conrad filled me in on the entire situation.
After listening to Conrad’s explanation, I finally grasped what was happening.
"In that case, Wallace Wills must have arrived for this Divine Medicine," I thought.
A thousand-year Divine Medicine is incredibly rare—even the famous King of Medicine, Wallace Wills, had never encountered one.
"If I can secure this Divine Medicine, I might be able to try breaking through to the Monastic Stage," I felt a surge of excitement.
Conrad on the other end said, "Mr. Raymond, the appeal of Divine Medicine is enormous. When the time comes, families from the River North Region will definitely come to fight for it."
"River North Region..." I repeated the name.
The River North Region encompasses three provinces, and Chuzzle is relatively weak in martial arts terms.
Besides Conrad, there isn’t even a single Grandmaster.
In the other two provinces, there are multiple Grandmasters.
Getting the Divine Medicine is definitely not straightforward.
"Mr. Raymond, I have some old contacts in the River North Region—maybe we can try teaming up with them," Conrad proposed.
I paused for a moment.
Thousand-year Divine Medicine has incredible effects—it would be tough to claim it all alone.
So partnership is necessary.
"Fine, I’ll let you handle this," I said.
Conrad said, "I’ll try to reach out to them as quickly as possible."
"Alright, do me a favor," I said, suddenly switching topics.
Conrad quickly said, "Please go ahead, Mr. Raymond."
I said seriously, "I desperately need a hundred-year-old Panax Ginseng and a hundred-and-fifty-year-old Knotweed. Help me find a solution—money’s no object."
Hearing this, Conrad on the other end suddenly seemed troubled.
"Mr. Raymond, these hundred-year-old herbs aren’t just lying around, and typically, people who own such herbs don’t need money," Conrad said quietly.
I was quiet for a moment and said, "In that case, put out the word that as long as someone can supply me with hundred-year herbs, I’m ready to trade them for Level Enhancement Pills."
"Level Enhancement Pills?" Conrad on the other end was instantly stunned.
"Mr. Raymond, are you serious about this?" Conrad asked with obvious excitement.
"Yes, as long as they can provide hundred-year herbs, they can get as many Level Enhancement Pills as they need," I said casually.
Level Enhancement Pills are a type of pill in the martial arts world.
And this pill’s effect is incredibly direct.
Martial artists in the Grandmaster Realm only need to consume one pill to advance one level.
For those with strong talent, one pill can even boost them multiple levels!
In other words, with Level Enhancement Pills, you can create numerous powerful Grandmaster Peak practitioners!
"No problem, Mr. Raymond, I’ll get the word out immediately!" Conrad said enthusiastically.
After ending the call, I rubbed my chin.
"To work with others, you still need sufficient power," I thought.
Without strength, even if you can cooperate, you definitely won’t control the situation.
"There’s still half a month remaining—I need to come up with a plan soon," I thought.
——
Soon, Conrad spread the news about the Level Enhancement Pills.
As anticipated, once the word got out, it immediately shook the martial arts world!
Families of every size in the martial arts community rushed in, eager to get their hands on a Level Enhancement Pill!
