Stephen, in one fell swoop, emptied everything from his item pouch. However, the Demonia Dragon
Ginseng was not among the items inside.
Stephen grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, shouting loudly at Jared, “Look inside and see if
there’s any Demonia Dragon Ginseng! I’ve been practicing medicine for decades, and no one has ever
questioned me like this before.”
This left Jared feeling somewhat embarrassed. He was certain that he had sensed the aura of the
Demonia Dragon Ginseng on Stephen.
However, there was no trace of the Demonia Dragon Ginseng then, and even the aura of the Demonia
Dragon Ginseng had vanished from Stephen.
“Dr. Livingstone, please don’t be upset. We believe in you…”
Trystanforted Stephen, then subtly signaled for Serena and Clifford to escort Jared away.
Jared had saved Serena and Clifford before.
Stephen, on the other hand, had supposedly saved Trystan.
At that time, Trystan didn’t want to offend anyone. After all, they weren’t traitors.
It was merely because their cultivation technique was peculiar that they faced ostracism from everyone
else. This led them to retreat deep into the heart of Demonia Mountain.
Trystan had sent Stephen away, while Jared wore a face of helplessness.
That was because he could tell what was going one, but he had no way to prove it.
Trystan had reached the end of his lifespan. It wasn’t due to any illness, and there was nothing Jared
could do about it.
It was important to note that even cultivators had a lifespan. They were not immortal.
At that moment, Trystan merely possessed the strength of a Tribtor. His lifespan was dwindling, so it
was only natural for his body to be weak. That was not an illness.
After Trystan had sent off Stephen, Jared anxiously eximed, “Mr. Pruitt, you’re currently burning
through your life force! At this rate, you’ll die in three days. If you stop now, you might be able to hold
on for a while longer. Perhaps during that time, I could find a way to help you through this period of
decline in life.”
“Mr. Chadwick, I appreciate your kindness. If indeed I have reached the twilight of my life, it is simply
the course of fate. There’s nothing to regret.”
Trystan gave a faint smile, then turned to Serena and Clifford, saying, “You two apany Mr.
Chadwick and show him around our sect. When eveninges, I will personally entertain Mr.
Chadwick.”

“Understood, Master…”
Serena and Clifford nodded, then left with Jared. Seeing the situation, Jared was also helpless. Since
he’s not afraid of death, why should I advise him?
Jared followed Serena and Clifford out of the room.
Soul Demon Sect wasn’t particrlyrge, nor was it splendid, so there wasn’t much to improve upon.
It was merely that Trystan used this to silence Jared.
After stepping out of the room, Serena said to Jared, “Mr. Chadwick, although our Soul Demon Sect
isn’trge, there’s a ce that you should find appealing!”
Jared asked curiously, “What ce?”
“You’ll know once you get there!” Serena gave a faint smile, yfully leaving Jared in suspense.
Jared did not press further. Instead, he followed behind Serena.
“Serena, are you nning to take Mr. Chadwick to see the soul flowers?” Clifford asked Serena.
“Ugh! Clifford, you’re really such a bore. I already said I wanted to give Mr. Chadwick a surprise, yet
you still blurted it out. You’re so annoying…” Serena stomped her foot, her mouth pouted in clear
annoyance.
At that moment, within Jared’s consciousness field, Faiyar suddenly eximed, “How beautiful!”
As it turned out, Faiyar had been gazing at Serena all along with such infatuation.
Serena’s cheeks suddenly flushed a deep red. She then nced at Jared and said, “Mr. Chadwick, y-
your friend, the soul remnant within you, is he peeping at me?”
Jared was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood. Soul Demon Sect primarily focused on
the study of souls, which was why Serena also heard Faiyar’sment.
Jared hurriedly uttered in support of Faiyar, “Ms. Pruitt, my friend didn’t mean any offense. He was
simply awestruck upon seeing you. He said he has never seen a girl as beautiful as you!”
