The fragrance of herbs in Medicinal Saint City was incredibly rich, making people linger and forget to leave.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath of this scent, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Surrounding Medicinal Saint City were numerous herb stalls with dazzling arrays of herbs displayed on them.
Ethan possessed the desolate divine eye, which allowed him to easily discern the age of the herbs at a glance.
These herbs were almost all over ten thousand years old, showing that such herbs were not considered rare in the Holy Region.
Ethan slightly furrowed his brows, observing the herbs and whispered, “If even the herbs on the stalls are ten thousand years old, what kind of herbs would be in that palace?”
Unimaginable! There might be herbs tens of thousands of years old in there!
Although the Nascent Soul Pill did not require extremely old herbs, the quality of the herbs still affected the quality of the Nascent Soul Pill.
So if he could obtain higher-quality herbs, Ethan naturally wanted to give it a try.
Thus, Ethan admired the herbs on both sides while walking towards the palace.
As he approached the palace, Ethan realized that it was made of golden glass, shining with an extremely luxurious brilliance.
Ethan couldn’t help but frown, his impression of Medicinal Saint City significantly diminished.
At the entrance of the palace, two guards were standing, both of whom were at the Mighty Realm. freewёbnoνel.com
Furthermore, the weapons in their hands were of exceptional quality, far surpassing the weaponry procured by the Hunter organization.
Obviously, the profits in Medicinal Saint City were quite considerable.
Ethan stepped forward, but as soon as he got close, the two guards stopped him.
“This place is for alchemists to refine pills. Outsiders are not allowed to approach,” the two guards said coldly.
Ethan looked up at the palace and asked, “May I ask what’s inside?”
The guards looked at Ethan as if he were an idiot and said, “Of course there are alchemists. Are you deliberately picking a fight?”
Ethan quickly waved his hands and said, “Of course not, don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious.”
The guards snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to pay Ethan any attention.
Ethan unabashedly continued to ask, “Are there a large number of top-grade herbs inside? How much would they cost?”
“Are you fucking looking for trouble?” One of the guards seemed enraged by Ethan and was about to grab his collar!
However, Ethan reached out and grabbed his wrist.
The guard’s face changed, finding that he could not break free at all.
“Such a temper?” Ethan raised an eyebrow.
The guard shouted angrily, “Let go of me! Don’t blame me for being rude if you don’t!”
Just as he was about to go berserk, the guard next to him whispered something in his ear.
After listening, the angered guard’s expression changed slightly, and his tone became much calmer.
He looked Ethan up and down, asking, “What exactly do you want to ask?”
Ethan replied, “As I said, are there a large number of herbs inside? I need a lot of herbs right now.”
The guard explained, “The herbs inside are not for sale.”
“Tell me more,” Ethan let go of the guard.
The guard rubbed his wrist and explained, “The herbs inside are provided by various major sects and families for the alchemists.”
“Alchemists provide the needed pills for the sects and families, and the sects and families provide herbs for the alchemists. The Cloud Sect is the largest supplier among them.”
Ethan suddenly understood and stroked his chin, saying, “So, in other words, those major sects are supporting this group of alchemists. No wonder they are so flamboyant.”
“You could say that,” the guard nodded.
Ethan continued to ask, “What’s the quality of the herbs inside compared to the ones outside?”
“Of course, they are different,” the guard laughed.
“Let me put it this way: most of the herbs outside have been discarded by the alchemists, which is why they are thrown out.”
Ethan couldn’t help but gasp.
Even ten-thousand-year-old herbs were discarded by them?
What a waste!
“How can I enter and become an alchemist?” Ethan asked eagerly.
The two guards looked at each other and said, “You need to take an exam. After passing the exam, you can become an alchemist.”
Ethan waved his hand and said, “Then let’s not waste any more time. Arrange the exam for me now! I want to become an alchemist.”
The guard hesitated and said, “You may have to wait a while. The exam isn’t up to us. We can only report it for you.”
“Go ahead then, I’ll wait for you here,” Ethan smiled.
The guards nodded repeatedly. One of them immediately turned and headed towards the palace, while Ethan found a spot to sit down and quietly waited.
Inside the palace.
Batch after batch of alchemists were refining pills.
They were spread across different floors, with alchemists of different levels are on different floors – the higher the level, the higher the floor, and vice versa.
The herbs provided on each floor were also vastly different, with the highest floor having even ten-thousand-year-old top-grade King of Medicine herbs.
The guard rushed to the top floor.
On the top floor of the pagoda, several elderly men were refining pills.
Seeing the guard who rushed in, the old men frowned.
“Who let you in!” The elderly men scolded with some anger.
The guard hurriedly said, “Something’s wrong, something’s wrong.”
“What’s the matter? Don’t make a fuss.” An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a white robe, said indifferently.
This man was the chairman of the alchemists, nicknamed Alchemy King.
“What’s so important that you have to panic?” Another old man shouted.
These people relied on the connections of the families and sects and were unscrupulous and domineering in their daily lives.
They were naturally unconcerned at this moment.
“Let him speak.” The Alchemy King waved his hand.
The guard swallowed nervously and whispered, “Ethan Smith is here…”
The old men’s faces changed slightly upon hearing this.
“Ethan Smith? What is he here for? We’ve never had any grievances with him in Medicinal Saint City,” an elderly man said with a flash of panic on his face.
“What’s the panic?” The Alchemy King shouted angrily, coldly looking at the guard, “Continue, what did he come for?”
The guard said, “Ethan Smith wants to enter the Medicinal Saint Hall and asked you to arrange the exam…”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
What? Ethan Smith actually wanted to enter the Medicinal Saint Hall? And he wanted to take the exam?
“Could this young man also be an alchemist?” The Alchemy King frowned.
Another elderly man next to him said solemnly, “What should we do now? If we don’t arrange the exam, he will definitely not let it go. But if we really let him join, the Cloud Sect… I’m afraid they won’t agree…”
