A Man Like None Other - Season 8 Episode 86

Holy Guide to Pill Crafting

Jared discovered that because of the barrier, there was barely any human presence there for the past few decades.

Hence, when the animals saw Jared suddenly appear, they quickly hid in fear.

Jared walked forward slowly along the valley. Occasionally, he snuck a few glances at the mountains at the side. Since someone had built a barrier there, the person definitely wanted to hide something from the others.

Jared walked straight for half an hour until a steep mountain blocked his way. This was probably the end of the valley. However, it was almost impossible for him to leave the valley by climbing the mountain. It was almost a hundred meters tall and had an extremely steep face. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could not scale it.

“There’s nothing here…”

Jared frowned before he expanded his spiritual sense again. Everything within a radius of a few hundred meters around him appeared in his mind.

Soon, Jared discovered a cave on the left side of the mountain, around a dozen meters high up. However, as it was blocked by the trees, Jared could not see it. It was only by using his spiritual sense that he managed to detect it.

Jared mustered some strength in his legs before leaping up to the cave. The entrance was very small and could only allow one person to enter. To prevent any accidents, Jared checked the interior of the cave with his spiritual sense and did not find anything special.

He could not sense any presence in the cave. There were no living things in it, nor was there any spiritual energy, which proved that there were no magical items. However, since he was already there, he decided to go in and take a look.

He stretched his right hand out slowly. A flame danced above his palm, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.

Jared walked into the cave and saw that its interior was very moist. Moss covered the stone walls, while irregular rocks were piled up everywhere. It was obvious that someone had lived there before.

Using the glow of the flame, Jared walked in slowly. After walking for around twenty meters, the air in the cave started to become dry. The path ahead of him suddenly widened into a hall that was dozens of square meters big.

A table stood in the middle of the hall. There was a candle on it, but it had long gone out. Some daily necessities were placed at the side of the hall. However, a thick layer of dust was piled on the surface.

When Jared glanced to the other side, he was taken aback. A frail elderly man, whose face was covered in wrinkles, was sitting on a stone chair with his legs crossed.

The elderly’s eyes were closed as he remained motionless. His white beard was at least half a meter long. Looking at how his body was covered in dust too, it was obvious that he had not moved in ages.

Jared calmed down and spread his spiritual sense over to the elderly. Only then did he realize that the elderly was no longer breathing. No wonder I didn’t sense any living presence just now when I was at the entrance.

Looking at the elderly’s appearance, it seemed like he had just been fossilized—he looked like he was still alive. There was a dusty yellow leather book in front of him.

Jared blew the dust off the book gently, revealing the words underneath.

Holy Guide to Pill Crafting!

Staring at the book, Jared felt curious. Is this an alchemy book? Does it contain all kinds of recipes?

Jared picked up the book slowly.

However, the moment he touched the book, it suddenly burst into flames. Within a moment, it was reduced to ashes.

Jared was stunned before feeling frustrated. He thought that he had carelessly burned the book because of the flame on his palm.

Just when Jared was feeling frustrated, a bright flash suddenly appeared in his mind, which was soon followed by multiple alchemy recipes.

Young man, you’ve inherited my Holy Guide to Pill Crafting. You must spread the fame of the Medicine God Sect far and wide…

The sorrowful and frail voice of an old man sounded in Jared’s mind.
