Chapter 3246
Fade spent the night in the mansion.
Early the next morning, Yarrow got up early to have breakfast with Fade.
After breakfast, Fade asked, "Master Yarrow, is Grandmaster in the main city? Can you take me to see him? I want to see him."
Yarrow froze for a moment when he heard Fade's question. Then, he said, "No, he's not in the main city. He's here."
"He's here? Then, why didn't I see him?" Fade asked.
Yarrow sighed and his expression darkened.
"Master Yarrow, did something happen in the Gu family?" Fade asked.
Yarrow nodded and said, "About three years ago, my uncle and I escaped and wanted to return to South Yan City."
"At that time, we were very happy. After all, we had been away from home for about a thousand years. We were obviously very excited that we finally got to go back home."
"However, it did not take long before we realized a problem."
"A thousand years have passed. The circumstances within the Gu family have changed."
"Were they fighting for power and profit?" Fade suddenly came to a realization.
Yarrow nodded and said, "You're absolutely right."
Then, he sighed and started to explain.
"Before my uncle led the team to the earth, he was an outstanding disciple of our Gu family. He was also a strong contender to be the next head of the Gu family."
"At that time, my uncle also went to look for the Ice Soul Pearl so that he could improve his strength and put himself in a strong position to be the next head of family."
"I just did not expect that we would be trapped on earth for a thousand years."
"One thousand years have passed. By the time we returned, there was another candidate for the head of family, Uncle's cousin, Devin Gu."
"Back then, the two of them fought fiercely for the position of head, which also caused quite a few conflicts."
"Now, Devin is the head of the Gu family, while Uncle had been trapped for a thousand years, which caused his cultivation to be affected. Plus, he is injured. His was originally in Stage 9 of the Soul Refine Realm but now, he has dropped to Stage 7."
"Therefore, after a period of time, Devin started to attack and found an excuse to drive Uncle out of the Gu family. He is now in the satellite city with the An family."
"Uncle is still recovering from his injuries during this period of time. He wants to recover as soon as possible and improve his strength."
After hearing this, Fade sighed, but there was nothing he could do.
It was very common for these things to happen.
Moreover, he did not want to say anything. He did not want to get involved.
Therefore, he had to say, "Master Yarrow, let me know when Grandmaster is ready for visitors. I want to see him."
"Alright, don't worry. I will let you know," Yarrow reassured him.
The two of them finished breakfast, then headed together towards the main city.
With Yarrow leading the way, the journey went by smoothly. They did not meet any trouble along the way.
As soon as Fade stepped into the main city, he realized that it was obviously much bigger and more prosperous than the satellite city.
The place was bustling. The streets and shops were crowded with people.
Moreover, he could sense that there were more cultivation masters here than in the satellite city.
As they marched forward, Yarrow said, "I'm going to take you to meet Natalia."
"Natalia Tu is one of the most famous alchemists in South Van City. At the same time, she is also the honorary teacher of South Van Academy. Her position in South Van City is extremely high."
"Even when the mayor needs some precious medicinal ingredients, he would get it from her."
"If Natalia takes a fancy to you, she will accept you as her disciple. At that time, Fade, you can become a well-known alchemist. That is not a bad outcome for you either."
Hearing this, Fade could not help but yearn for it.
About an hour later, he noticed a tall building on the hillside up ahead. Many young people came and went. The place was very lively.
When Yarrow saw the building, he smiled as he introduced it. "This is South Van Academy. It is the biggest and finest college here in South Van City. Their main focus is to recruit those young and talented people and groom them into experts."
"The school has various programs such as martial arts, medicine refining, beast training, talisman arts, weapon refining, plants, and so on. It is similar to universities on Earth."
"But of course, there are some differences. The colleges in the Earth Yuan World mainly cultivate martial arts. We're mainly assisting in other areas." "Fade, if you want to enroll in South Yan Academy, I can help you. As long as you pass the entrance exam, then you get to study there."
"A chance to study in one of the colleges in the Earth Yuan World?" Fade was a little interested. However, he did not forget his goal, which was to destroy the passage to the World Tree and alleviate the dangers on Earth.
Therefore, he said, "Not now. I'm sure I will have the chance later!"
Yarrow understood what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "I'll take you to meet Natalia first!"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
As he spoke, Yarrow walked towards the left side of South Yan Academy.
There was a small river that passed through this place. There were some small undulating mounds around here, as well as scattered small clumps of trees.
The surroundings were very beautiful.
Passing through the bushes, they went along a gravel path and crossed a small hill. In the valley. A two-story building appeared in front of them.
Yarrow introduced, "This is Natalia's residence."
Fade nodded and continued walking towards the house.
However, Yarrow hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Fade was a little curious.
Yarrow pointed at the field of plants on both sides of the road. He said, "Be careful."
"Be careful?" Fade was stunned and then looked at it carefully.
"That's a Manjeen Plant, and this one here is Light Bamboo Leaf. Those are Gold Fruit Branch, and this is Crane Grass. They don't usually grow in such an
environment..." "These herbsuel
not randomly planted here. Instead, they've been specifically arranged." to
Yarrow nodded and added, "It was set up by Natalia. It's a test."
"That's because there have been too many people who came to ask Natalia for medicine and want her to accept them as her disciple. Some even came here to challenge She can't entertain each and
everyone of them, so a few years
ago, she specifically set up this
special medicine field in front of her house." to
"She said it was a herb farm, but in fact, it can be seen as a trap. When different herbs come into contact with one another, it will produce different effects."
"For example, some will produce a fragrance which causes hallucination. Some herbs will cause headaches. Some will even produce a deadly poison, which will kill the person."
"Those who successfully beat this trap can knock on Natalia's door to meet her."
After hearing this, Fade looked at Yarrow and said, "Shall we break this trap now?"
Yarrow smiled, waved his hand and said, "Can you do it? I know I don't have that ability."
"Natalia is a four star alchemist. The medicine field that she personally created is not something that an ordinary person can breakthrough."
After that, Yarrow explained to Fade. "In the Earth Yuan World, there are also complementary professions such as alchemists and tool refiners who are not cultivators. In short, they rank from one to nine stars, with one star being the lowest rank."
to
"Actually, due to the rarity of these auxiliary professions, as they require a lot of hard work, high level alchemists are hard to come by. Under normal circumstances, reaching three stars is considered quite good."
"A four star alchemist like Natalia is considered a national treasure in South Yan City. This is also the reason why the mayor and the rest of the people here have high respect for her."
Fade nodded seriously after listening to
Yarrow's words. He was getting more and more interested in Natalia.
