Chapter 789 Vitality Pill
“Mr. Knox, has the Lord of Medicine God Sect been living in this place all along?” Jared asked Axton with his mind racing.
“Of course. He has been living in this place for the past thirty years, but he would travel elsewhere from time to time,” Axton replied.
“Thirty years?” Jared was stunned. “Are you saying that this Lord of Medicine God Sect did not grow up in this place?”
Axton shook his head. “He came here thirty years ago. Our previous Lord went missing at that time, so we did not have someone to lead us. After the Lord’s arrival, he impressed everyone with his various skills, especially the vitality pills he crafted. Our lifespan can be extended by three to five years after consuming one vitality pill. However, because of the rarity of the ingredient to produce this vitality pill, the Lord would only provide us with the pill once in a while. That’s why we recommended him to become the new Lord of Medicine God Sect.”
Jared came to a revelation after listening to Axton’s explanation. This Lord of Medicine God Sect succeeded that position halfway through. No wonder I detected a different aura from him.
Nonetheless, Jared could not fathom the malicious intent that enveloped the body of the Lord of Medicine God Sect. He wondered if the Lord of Medicine God Sect had been killing people.
Moreover, Jared knew the Lord of Medicine God Sect must have ended more than one person’s life to have acquired that intense malicious intent. He could not understand why the Lord of a peaceful group such as the Medicine God Sect would commit such an evil action.
Jared decided not to trouble himself with that thought since he failed to comprehend the whole picture, but he did notice the Lord of Medicine God Sect’s reaction when he took out the Divine Cauldron earlier. The Lord of Medicine God Sect obviously recognized the cauldron, judging by the burning desire in his passionate gaze earlier.
Jared had a hunch that something was off with the Lord of Medicine God Sect. Besides, he was sure that the lunch later was most likely a trap.
He knew he should not have revealed that precious Divine Cauldron in front of others because anyone who realized that cauldron’s value would yearn to possess that item.
Despite that, Jared could not leave that place immediately because Lyanna was still in the Medicine God Sect’s care, so he decided to stay and assess the turns of events.
At noon, inside a spacious dining hall in the Medicine God Sect, the Lord of Medicine God Sect and the other elders of the sect had gathered inside the hall. Jared was the only outsider there.
A small porcelain plate was placed in front of everyone, and inside the plate was a scarlet pill.
“Jared, this is the vitality pill I mentioned to you. The Lord is very kind to you because he’s treating you with this pill. Under normal circumstances, we rarely get to enjoy this luxury,” Axton whispered to Jared after taking the seat next to him.
All the other elders’ eyes shone with excitement when they saw the vitality pills. They were eager to pop the pills into their mouths.
After all, it was human nature to desire a longer lifespan.
Even the elders, who had achieved the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster and possessed the skills to craft pills and save lives, were not exempted from experiencing the flow of time. They were getting older and would one day draw their last breaths.
Each vitality pill was able to extend one’s lifespan by three to five years. If this pill was made available to the outside world, Jared assumed all the wealthy people would be willing to give up their riches to purchase this miraculous pill.
“All right, let’s eat.”
The few elders gulped down the vitality pill impatiently following the Lord of Medicine God Sect’s announcement. Axton swallowed the pill on his plate as well.
On the other hand, Jared picked up the vitality pill without consuming it. He infused some spiritual energy into the pill and saw a thick cloud of bloody smoke billowing from the pill instantaneously.
Jared frowned while wearing a darkened expression because the ingredient to craft this vitality pill had surfaced within his mind at that moment.
The vitality pill was not produced using any rare or expensive herbs. Instead, the ingredient was the human heart. That pill was crafted using the beating heart of a living person. More terrifyingly, these individuals must be infants below six months old.
He’s enhancing his lifespan with pills crafted using an infant’s heart?
