Chad realized that and said, "So, you guys gathered here because of me—""No!"Yara interrupted Chad, grumbling, "Who would worry about you?! It makes no difference to us whether you die or not.Fifi chuckled. "Don't flatter yourself. I heard Coco was injured, so we came to see her. It has nothing to do with you."Chad looked puzzled and said, "I'd still be in the dark if you hadn't said anything! I had Liam take care of Coco. He—""And you still dare to say that?! He is Bloomington's police chief, but you asked him to look after a patient for you? What were you thinking?"Yara yelled angrily, yanking Coco away from Chad's side. "Don't get so close to him. He's been cozying up with a big star!""Brat! What are you talking about? You want me to slap you?"Fifi pretended to be angry, but after glaring at Yara, she redirected the conversation. "Actually, it was Yara who mentioned it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known, would we? She's like a tough cookie with a soft heart; she care

Swoosh! Swoosh!The sound of something flying through the air could be heard again, startling Chad, who rolled quite a distance away.Bang!Chad turned to see two dart-like weapons deeply embedded in the ground.Those weapons were about one meter long and had spear-like tips at the front. They were a rare sight."Damn it!"A woman's voice echoed out of nowhere, full of fear and anger."Who's there?" Chad asked sternly, but no one answered.At that moment, Grayson said, "Assassins from the Inkwell Clan!"The Inkwell Clan!Chad's heart tensed instantly!In Hacniane history, the Inkwell Clan disappeared from history records more than 2,000 years ago.However, that did not mean that the clan had vanished. They had just retreated to the shadows.The Mystics and the martial artists knew about the existence of the Inkwell Clan.That was because most of Hacnianes' ancient kings and emperors had another identity—an Inkwell Grandmaster.In other words, in the past, one needed to b

Chad thought it was absurd and asked, "How could your life and death be related to me?"The old lady sighed deeply and said, "To become an Inkwell Clan assassin, one must consume a special poison, and to survive it, one must take an antidote every seven days."The Inkwell Clan wielded significant power. In Hacniane, there was a well-known saying—peaceful ideologies reigned supreme during prosperous times. In times of turmoil, the Inkwell Clan would reign!It meant that during prosperous times, the leaders of the Inkwell clan favored peaceful figures. During chaotic times, the various branches of the Inkwell Clan prioritized their own goals.Whether in times of chaos or prosperity, the Inkwell factions that eventually triumphed would deliver the emperor. Then, if the emperor's descendants wanted to inherit the throne, they had to gain recognition from the various Inkwell factions and become Grandmasters.Over thousands of years, the Inkwell clan had been divided into numerous facti

Snap!Cynthia walked up behind Chad and placed a safety helmet on his head, saying, "We've started installing the panels. Once it's done, we'll start pouring the concrete. The house will be completed by noon today, and the interior decoration can start in the afternoon."Chad listened in disbelief. Were all those large machines on Temple Road meant to renovate the Hall of Herbs? However, when he arrived at the place, what he saw left him speechless.Three cranes were operating in the backyard, and dozens of workers were busy in a large pit over ten meters in diameter.Cynthia smiled and said, "I decided to dig up the entire yard and expand the building area.""This must have cost a lot of money!""Don't mention money to me! Just make sure you live here comfortably once it's built!"Chad sat quietly in the Hall of Herbs, watching the construction outside. The entire process seemed to be on fast-forward.At noon, the last panel was laid, completing the construction of the five-st

Miss Sixth mumbled in shock, "Yes! A top-notch alchemist could be a huge help to us!"The only difference between Mystic Healing and traditional medicine was their treatment methods.Traditional medicine would inevitably leave behind medicinal residue because it could not fully utilize all the components of herbs. However, Mystic medicine was different; through alchemy, Mystic medicine could rearrange the components of herbs, allowing the final concoction to unleash effects beyond imagination.Initially, Chad believed that visualization could only be applied to the diagrams provided, but later, he discovered that one could visualize people as well.At that moment, Chad was even more surprised to find that herbs could also be visualized, which further boosted his confidence in alchemy.The temperature inside the Divine Censer increased, especially after the circulation of internal energy and the use of special formations on the Divine Ware.That was achieved by heating internal en
