Chapter 394 Instructions Received
If anyone dared betray Fabian, he would kill the parasite in his jar, and the traitor would die along with the parasite in their body.
Similarly, if the parasite in the person’s body died, the one in Fabian’s jar would die as well.
“What the…”
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they saw the dead parasite.
“Jazona may have very powerful martial artists, but I doubt any of them are capable of killing Venicus. Could it be that the Jantz family changed their mind about giving us the herbs as promised? Maybe they killed him after obtaining the pill,” someone guessed.
“That’s impossible. Mr. Quillen has instructed Venicus to not produce the longevity pill until he obtains the herbs. Besides, there’s no way the Jantz family would dare go against Crescent Sect!” someone objected.
“Could it be the Herb Palace’s doing, then? That is their territory, after all. Being a legitimate organization, the Herb Palace has always looked down on sects like ours. Now that one of us is operating in their territory, there’s no way they’d just ignore us!” said a white-haired old man with a deep frown.
“But we have done nothing to provoke the Herb Palace. They may not approve of what we do, but they’ve left us alone for so many years now. Besides, it’s not the first time we’ve sent someone over to Jazona. It wouldn’t make much sense for them to suddenly start picking a bone with us now, would it?” someone questioned that old man’s statement.
“It’s hard to say. Who knows what the Herb Palace is thinking? Also, who else in Jazona is capable of killing Venicus? Those so-called Martial Arts Grandmasters? They’re nothing but a bunch of barbarians!” replied the old man with a disdainful snort.
It was obvious that he didn’t like martial artists very much.
“All right, stop arguing. All we have to do is send someone over to find out what’s going on. If this really is the Herb Palace’s doing, then we will take action against them!” Fabian said coldly.
There was a huge mansion occupying up to tens of thousands of square feet of land in Tayhaven Town.
That mansion was known as the Herb Palace, and surrounding it was hundreds of apothecaries. However, instead of selling pills, they only sold leftover herbs from the Herb Palace. Even so, the leftover herbs were still high in demand in Summerbank.
“A large number of these revitalizing pills have appeared in Yeringham recently. I have instructed someone to analyze its ingredients, method of production, and effects. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a miracle pill!” said the butler of the Herb Palace as he brought a revitalizing pill into the room.
Spencer, the head of the Herb Palace, sipped on some tea as he said, “You’ve been producing pills your entire life, Jeremy. I’ve never heard you call someone else’s product a miracle pill before. Do tell me more about this pill.”
“This pill is capable of strengthening the body and curing a ton of diseases. On top of that, it also improves sexual performance in men. It’s a lot more potent than our detoxification pill and bone-strengthening pill. However, according to the results of our analysis, the ingredients used are very common herbs that can be obtained at very low prices. We are still working on finding out how they produce it, though. If we are able to produce this pill ourselves, it could bring us huge profits!” the butler explained in detail.
Spencer’s eyes lit upon hearing that. “Oh? I didn’t know such a thing existed in Jazona! Hurry up and find out who’s producing these pills!”
“Right away, sir!”
The butler was about to leave when Spencer called out to him again, “By the way, do we have the herbs ready for the Jantz family? If yes, tell them to make the payment.”
“But we are already short on herbs for our own usage as it is. Why would you agree to sell them to the Jantz family?” the butler asked in confusion.
“The Jantz family has connections in Jadeborough, and these are instructions from the higher-ups. That’s all you need to know,” Spencer replied while motioning at the butler to leave.
