A Man Like None Other

Once the alchemists had settled their accommodations, many went out to explore the island.

Medicine God Island was nothing short of a tourist attraction, complete with mountain peaks, forests, and even beaches and seas.

If it were in the mundane world, it would undoubtedly be a popular tourist destination.

Jared, Viola, and Sigurd also left their

accommodations and began to stroll around the entire Medicine God Island.

There were quite a few businesses across the entire island, but most of them involved things related to alchemy.

Some individuals held signs seeking medical advice, willing to exchange various magical items for treatment.

They probably were incapable of posting a listing on the Doctor-Searching List, so resorted to such a method in hopes of catching the attention of alchemists and consequently receiving treatment.

“I truly didn’t expect Medicine God Island to be so lively. I had always thought it was a deserted island,” Viola remarked in surprise as she looked at the street vendors on both sides of the dividing line.

“Indeed. I’ve also heard of Medicine God Island quite a while ago, but it used to be a place of exile for alchemists who cultivated demonic techniques. Now, it has become so prosperous, no longer the desolate island it once was,” Sigurd also lamented.

Jared chuckled. After all these years of development, the transformation of Medicine God Island was astounding, so it would seem that Maxence’s father was undoubtedly a man of great stature.

At the very least, he had to be an expert in governance and management to have transformed Medicine God Island into what it was presently.

Be it ordinary cultivators or alchemists, everyone surprisingly conducted themselves well. Even the street vendors on both sides of the dividing line were well-behaved. There were no signs of anyone making trouble.

Generally speaking, many of those roaming the streets were Tribulator cultivators, fond of a good fight. Yet, these same individuals dared not do so on Medicine God Island.

That made it evident that the rules on Medicine God Island were strict, effectively keeping the island’s inhabitants in check.

The variety of goods sold by the street vendors on both sides of the dividing line was simply astounding. After all, the people there came here were from all over the Ethereal Realm. It was no wonder that the architectural styles were different.

Nonetheless, most of the people there were looking for medical treatment in exchange for a reward.

“Your granddaughter is suffering from delirium, old geezer. If I were to cure her, I’m afraid it would cost you at least ten purple spirit coins. Yet, you’re only offering some lousy medicinal herbs as a reward! Are you taking me for a fool? You look like an alchemist too. Don’t you know that?”

While Jared was strolling down the street with Viola and Sigurd, he suddenly heard a roar of great dissatisfaction from a near distance ahead.

“Exactly! He’s taking others for a fool. If he doesn’t have anything to offer as a reward, he can use his granddaughter instead. I must say, this young lady is quite appealing with her lovely looks.”

“She’s pretty good-looking, but she looks a bit mad. That’s a total turn-off!”

A crowd of people were gathered there, criticizing an elderly man and his granddaughter.

At that moment, the elderly man started with his face a picture of embarrassment, “I am also an alchemist, fellow cultivators. Regrettably, I’m incapable of treating my granddaughter. I’ve been here for a long time, and I truly have nothing much to offer. All I have are these worthless medicinal herbs. If anyone can cure my granddaughter, I am willing to do everything and anything.”

A near distance away, Jared promptly froze upon hearing that voice. Immediately after, his brows furrowed.

Initially, he had no intention of meddling in other people’s affairs and planned to bypass the crowd. But upon hearing the elderly man’s voice, he came to an immediate halt.

“What’s the use of you doing everything and anything? If I can cure your granddaughter, would it be acceptable for her to spend a few nights with me?”

“My sentiments exactly. If she’ll spend a few nights with me, I can help to treat her.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“I can also do so. On top of that, I can even persuade someone from the Laurent family on Medicine God Island to help treat her.”

The crowd began to clamor, In reality, perhaps the number of people truly capable of curing the elderly man’s granddaughter was few.

“Come, let’s go over for a look.” Jared headed over with Viola and Sigurd.

“An acquaintance of yours, Mr. Chance?” Sigurd asked.

“The voice sounds familiar, but they can’t possibly be here, right?”

With his brows furrowed, Jared quickened his pace.
