The Man’s Decree

Meanwhile, at Emerald Cauldron Sect, Viola had given Jared the best pills while looking after him throughout the past few days, but he had yet to regain consciousness.

That huge battle had left Jared almost completely drained.

“Ms. Warwick, has Mr. Chance woken up yet?” Ghaylen asked softly.

Viola shook her head with a solemn expression. “Not yet. I can't believe his body is still so weak even after consuming so many pills. I'm not sure how much more his body can take. Had it been anyone else, their body would most likely have exploded after consuming so many high-level pills.”

Ghaylen let out a sigh and said, “Ms. Warwick, Emerald Cauldron Sect has run out of high-level pills. I've sent some men to collect herbs from the mountains and to purchase medicinal herbs from various sects as well as prestigious families. However, it would still take time to synthesize high-level pills, so Mr. Chance will simply have to wait.”

Viola fell silent after hearing Ghaylen's words. “Ghaylen, I want you to get the pills from the medicinal treasury and feed them to Jared.”

Ghaylen gasped in shock when he heard that. “But the rules forbid anyone from consuming those pills! We are only allowed to visit the medicinal treasury to study them! If we give him those pills, then Emerald Cauldron Sect may no longer have research materials left, which will lead to a decline in our alchemy skills. The sect will probably be gone in less than a few hundred years if that happens!”

As it turned out, the pills in the medicinal treasury were strictly for research purposes only, so consumption of those pills was absolutely forbidden.

“This isn't the time to be worrying about that! I'm the sect leader, so I call the shots around here! I hereby order you to go fetch me the pills from the medicinal treasury!” Viola ordered solemnly.

Ghaylen had no choice but to do as he was told. He returned shortly after with three black-colored pills in hand.

Those were the most precious pills from the medicinal treasury.

Viola quickly took the pills and got ready to feed them to Jared.

“As you know, Ms. Warwick, every medicine has its side effects. While these pills may be from Emerald Cauldron Sect, we don't know the side effects they may cause. They might just turn out to be far too potent for Mr. Chance's weak body!” Ghaylen warned her.

Viola hesitated for a brief moment before stuffing one of the pills into Jared's mouth.

“It shouldn't be a problem if I feed them to him one at a time,” Viola said while observing Jared's condition.

Jared's eyes remained tightly shut, and he showed no signs of movement, but a powerful whirlpool inside his elixir field was absorbing the energy aggressively.

Within seconds, the whirlpool had completely absorbed the energy from the high-level pill and slowly increased in size.

Jared's spiritual energy level, too, began to recover at an alarming rate.
