Chapter 586
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

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

Elder Jun Sik’s fist shot forward like a cannonball, aimed straight at Alex’s face. If it landed, there was no doubt about the outcome—Alex would die instantly.For the briefest moment, regret stabbed through Alex’s mind.“I shouldn’t have come here.”The thought barely formed before the strike arrived.But a split second before Jun Sik’s fist reached Alex’s face, another hand suddenly appeared and clamped down around his wrist, stopping the blow in midair.The courtyard froze.“Jun Sik,” a calm voice said. “Is it really necessary for your fist to kill?”Jun Sik’s eyes flared with anger as he turned his head.“Xie Han,” he snapped. “Stay out of this.”Elder Xie Han stood beside Alex, his grip on Jun Sik’s fist firm as iron.“You’re trying to kill one of my people,” Xie Han said evenly. “How could I not interfere? Did you ask my permission before raising your hand against him?”Jun Sik’s face twisted with fury.“I am the elder of the Discipline Department!” he barked. “This brat is acc
Chapter 581
Wang Junwei was in his office that morning when the message came.His younger brother was in trouble again. Asking for help. As usual.Junwei didn’t hesitate. He sent twenty men to handle it.The plan had been in place for years—decades, really.His little brother would enter the kitchen as a lowly servant. He would keep his head down. Endure the humiliation. Work harder than everyone else. Climb step by step until he became a numbered servant—someone trusted, someone with direct access to the core herbs.That was the key.Once he reached that position, he would control the flow.Then, little by little, he would begin taking small portions of rare herbs. Nothing obvious. Nothing reckless. Just enough to stay invisible.Small amounts. Regularly.Everything had been arranged.Then Alex appeared.And in a single move, he took the ninth position in the kitchen.That was when things began to unravel.Junwei was still thinking about damage control when his office door exploded inward with a
