Chapter 782 Unconvinced
When they noticed Axton’s arrival, they quickly set everything aside and rushed to greet him.
“Mr. Knox, is he your guest? Our Lord will be most pleased if he can help us craft a high-tier pill,” one of the men clad in black robes asked.
He was Damian, the third-ranking elder of the Medicine God Sect. After all, only those who were elders could be present within the hall.
“Damian, can we first discuss how we can save this young woman?” Axton moved aside as he spoke, revealing Lyanna, who was in Jared’s arms.
The elders jolted in shock. “Mr. Knox, this is the Medicine God Hall! No one is allowed to enter save for the elders. How could you bring an outsider in here?”
“I’ll explain that later. First, please check if we can still save this woman,” Axton replied agitatedly. If we can save Lyanna, Jared will be in our debt. This way, Jared won’t be inclined to refuse if we ask for his help to craft the pills.
When the other elders noticed Axton’s worried expression, they dropped the subject matter and collectively turned to look at Lyanna.
One of the elders stepped forward to check Lyanna’s pulse. Immediately, a dark expression loomed across his face as he shook his head helplessly. “Her internal organs have been severely damaged. It would be difficult to heal her when she’s in such a state. Did you feed her a longevity pill? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to survive thus far.”
Jared frowned. All this time, he managed to keep Lyanna alive by injecting his spiritual energy into her. Although Jared was rather skilled in medicine, he lacked the sufficient spiritual energy in his elixir field to help her. In order to save Lyanna, Jared would need to be in peak form.
Although the Medicine God Sect was full of spiritual energy, it meant nothing to Jared. Absorbing this spiritual energy was practically useless.
“Timothy, where’s the Lord? If I’m not mistaken, he is in possession of a rejuvenating pill that can bring the dead back to life. If we let her consume the pill, she will be saved!” Axton asked the elder who’d checked Lyanna’s pulse.
“Mr. Axton, have you gone mad?” Timothy questioned incredulously. “The rejuvenating pill is our Lord’s sacred treasure. Do you really think that he will use it on this stranger?”
“Why not? This woman is Jared’s friend. Also, Jared is an expert capable of crafting high-tier pills.” Axton pointed at Jared as he spoke. “Jared is no ordinary man. Not only did he defeat the Martial Arts Grandmaster, but he is also well-versed in alchemy and can create high-tier pills. Furthermore, Jared also mastered the art of arcane arrays. Earlier, he disabled our illusion array without even batting an eye.”
The elders were instantly dumbstruck as they stared at Jared in utter shock.
Damian remained unconvinced. “Mr. Knox, are you joking around? He looks like he’s only in his twenties. How could he be as skilled as you described? Even if he started learning alchemy in his mother’s womb, it would be impossible for him to be able to craft a high-tier pill.”
“Damian is right. He looks too young! Is he so talented to the point where he can craft a high-tier pill? Mr. Knox, are they your relatives? Is that why you lied to us?” Timothy chimed in.
“Hmph, I’ll ask Jared to craft a high-tier pill at this instance!” Axton spat angrily. “When have I ever lied to you?” Faced with accusations from the other elders, he couldn’t help but blow his top.
“Mr. Knox, I’m so sorry. I’m not as skilled as you paint me out to be. The best I can do is craft normal boosting pills or revitalizing pills,” Jared called out before the situation could escalate any further.
