2024-09-16 00:02:08He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lancasters could only dream of reaching his level.
With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.
If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.
But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lancaster?

Chapter 588
Alex stepped into the field and quietly searched for several herbs he needed.For him, this was more than fair.He wasn’t stealing recklessly. In fact, he had taken less than one percent of the herbs in the field. In return, he had left behind a method that could increase the field’s production by two hundred percent or more.If the owner followed the instructions, the harvest would explode.They would become incredibly wealthy from the field alone.That was a trade any sensible cultivator would gladly accept.That night, Alex selected five different types of herbs.He carefully uprooted them and carried them back to his courtyard.Once home, he replanted the herbs in the soil of his yard.Now he already had twenty-year-old herbs growing in his courtyard. Some could be harvested seasonally, while others could be gathered each year.There was no longer any need for him to wait.After that, Alex rested for several days.He had already calculated the safest method.If he wanted to gather

Alex had already made up his mind.He would stay far away from the medical pavilion.The moment he showed his face there, people would start noticing him. And once people noticed him, questions would follow. Questions meant attention. And attention always brought trouble.Alex had no intention of inviting trouble.So he kept to himself.He stayed inside his small courtyard hut and stopped going anywhere near the medical pavilion.Life as an Outer Sect disciple on Thousand Herbs Peak turned out to be surprisingly comfortable.Back when he worked in the Kitchen, he had access to all kinds of delicious food. That was the one thing he genuinely missed. But aside from that small regret, everything else suited him perfectly.The environment on Thousand Herbs Peak was excellent for cultivation. The spiritual energy in the air was rich and pure, far better than most places in the sect. Alex could simply sit in meditation and steadily absorb the energy around him.For someone focused on cultiv

At dawn the next morning, Alex woke early.The air was still cool, and a faint mist hung over the mountain.He stepped out of his small log cabin, crossed the quiet courtyard, and began walking toward the Medicines Pavilion.The sun slowly rose over the distant horizon. Golden light spilled across the sky, scattering through layers of drifting mist. The colors shimmered across the mountain paths like schools of golden carp swimming through clouds.It was a breathtaking sight.But Alex barely slowed down.He walked quickly along the stone path, surrounded by numerous Outer Sect disciples who were heading in the same direction. Their robes fluttered in the morning breeze.None of them recognized him.And Alex didn’t recognize any of them either.The last time he had come here, Xuan Chen had only given him a brief explanation of how things worked inside the Medicines Pavilion.Today, he intended to see it for himself.When Alex arrived, he walked straight to one of the staff members stan

“You bastard, Jun Jiu—the new guy!” the man bellowed, his voice echoing across the courtyard.“It’s your job to assist me as your senior in managing the plantation! How is it possible that you haven’t reported for work for an entire month? If I don’t beat you to death today, then I’m the pig!”Alex slowly opened his eyes and ended his meditation.The shout had shattered the quiet around his small hut.He stepped outside and walked into the courtyard.An Outer Sect disciple stood there, glaring at him with obvious fury.Alex paused for a moment. He had only been here a short time and still didn’t understand how many things worked inside the sect.He decided to ask.But before he could even speak, the man who had been ready to explode with rage suddenly froze.His eyes narrowed as he stared at Alex carefully, studying his face as if digging through his memory.“…Wait.”The man’s expression changed.“Are you… the guy from the kitchen?” he asked suddenly.“Yes,” Alex replied calmly.The m

He began leading Alex along a winding stone path deeper into Thousand Herbs Peak.As they walked, he pointed out various buildings scattered along the mountainside—storage halls, herb-drying courtyards, and refining chambers where disciples worked with large cauldrons and strange medicinal tools.“Thousand Herbs Peak holds an important position in the Wudang Sect,” the young man explained.His tone shifted into something more professional.“We cultivate medicinal herbs, gather rare plants from the mountains, and manage their storage.”He gestured toward several terraces carved into the hillside, each filled with carefully planted herbs.“Our department specializes in spirit medicine.”His eyes briefly flicked toward the distant refining halls.“Pill refinement. Herbal extraction. Medicinal preparation.”A faint smile appeared on his face.“If it heals the body or strengthens cultivation…”“…there’s a good chance it came from here.”“Becoming an Outer Sect disciple of Thousand Herbs Pe
Chapter 583
The Wudang Sect stretched across thirteen mountains.Each department claimed its own peak, its own territory carved into the vast range. From a distance the mountains looked like a silent army of stone rising into the clouds.At the very center stood the tallest mountain of them all.That peak belonged to the sect leader and the elders—the true heart of Wudang.Li Chingxue soared through the sky with Alex beside her, her robes fluttering like silver wings in the mountain wind. They flew toward one of the surrounding peaks, Thousand Herbs Peak.Where the Pill Refinement Department was located.The sect leader had already given Li Chingxue clear instructions.Once Alex officially entered the Outer Sect, he would be assigned to the Pill Refinement Department.From afar, the mountain didn’t look particularly large. It seemed quiet and ordinary compared to the towering peaks around it.But the moment they descended onto the mountain path, the illusion vanished.Birdsong echoed through the
