Matthew jumped in shock, "World’s Extreme Poison?!"
However, he didn’t know how much it was worth, so he quickly changed his mind: "I can only sell one piece, saving the rest for the family. You can set a price..."
Before he could finish, Alvin Morgan interrupted, "Are you out of your mind? With so many treasures to choose from, why would you pick such a deadly poison? It’s useless for you anyway, you might as well sell them all to me. I promise the price will satisfy you."
"No." Matthew refused without hesitation. Don’t try to fool me; I’ve seen the world!
Alvin Morgan tried a few more persuasion tactics, but Matthew was firm. Finally, the former had no choice but to yield. "Fine, one piece it is. I’ll give you 800 Spirit Jade — you won’t get this price from anyone else."
"Deal." After a moment’s hesitation, Matthew agreed. Alvin Morgan’s honesty was well-known in Waves Prefecture, and he wouldn’t cheat him. "I’ll have someone deliver it."
"No!" Alvin Morgan stopped him immediately. "Stay where you are; I don’t trust your clumsy subordinates! I’ll come and get it myself. We can exchange money and goods in person. Where are you?"
Matthew told him the location, and Alvin Morgan disappeared from the screen, leaving only his voice: "I’m on my way."
It was a long journey from the Prefecture City, but Pill Masters were wealthy, and he had filled his flying magical instrument with Spirit Jade for maximum speed. By evening, he had arrived.
The guards at the outpost were alarmed when they saw a cloud carriage approaching at a great speed. They thought a Grandmaster was coming to attack the outpost.
After some commotion, Matthew managed to explain the situation. Alvin Morgan clung to Matthew tightly, worried that he would run away: "Where’s my spiritual medicine?!"
Matthew was more anxious than him: "You really picked a terrible time to come. Just follow me."
It was mealtime, and Ava was about to serve dinner. If he finished trading with Alvin Morgan, would that bastard Bennett Basil leave any food for him? Absolutely not!
Alvin Morgan’s face changed. "What do you mean, are you reneging on the deal? I can make a scene at the Horizon Courthouse, you know. The Commander Lord of Kai County is one of my clients..."
"I’m not going back on my word. I’ll give it to you after dinner." Matthew and Alvin Morgan, two grown men, entered Owen Bertram’s courtyard, arguing and tugging at each other. Upon seeing them, Verna pulled a long face: "I didn’t cook extra."
Matthew grinned, "There’s enough for me, and he doesn’t need any."
Alvin Morgan was enraged. He had come all this way and spent 800 Spirit Jade, only to be refused a meal? It wasn’t about greed, but he felt disrespected!
He angrily grabbed Matthew: "Let’s trade now. There are 800 Spirit Jade in this storage brocade pouch. Give me my stuff. Once I have it, I’ll leave. I don’t care about your pig food!"
He suddenly noticed Bennett Basil nearby. "Old Bennett, why are you here? That little girl by the stove, is she your disciple?"
Bennett Basil, a famous chef in Waves Prefecture, corrected him: "Miss is not my disciple, and my cooking skills are insignificant compared to hers."
As they spoke, Ava had already finished cooking and uncovered the pot. Both Bennett Basil and Matthew abandoned Alvin Morgan, rushing over like seasoned athletes fighting for a prime spot.
Ava paid them no mind, scooping a large bowl for her elder brother first, then her own, and finally leaving two spoonfuls for the two freeloaders, one spoonful each.
What? You think they paid a significant food fee?
Despite that, they still ate more than their shares — at least that’s what Verna thought.
"You..." Alvin Morgan was utterly confused. However, as the aroma from the pot wafted over, his expression changed dramatically. Taking several deep sniffs, he rushed to the pot... only to be stopped by the spoon Verna pressed against his windpipe.
"Step back!" Verna was like a food-guarding puppy, her braids standing on end as if facing a tremendous enemy.
Alvin Morgan’s face turned crimson, and his pointing finger trembled. "Pi-pill Cuisine?!"
Both Bennett Basil and Matthew were busy shoveling food into their mouths, ignoring their old friend Alvin Morgan. Meanwhile, Owen Bertram and Verna... had no idea what "Pill Cuisine" was. It probably had something to do with medicinal meals, right?
Alvin Morgan, too excited to breathe, grabbed Bennett Basil’s collar. "This is Pill Cuisine!"
Bennett Basil cursed in his heart while pressing his lips tight, ensuring the food in his mouth didn’t spill out. Owen Bertram asked casually, "Pill Cuisine... does it have any extraordinary effects?"
Grateful for the question, Alvin Morgan quickly answered, "Only those who can cook ordinary ingredients with the effects of spiritual pills can be called Pill Cuisine."
"So-called medicinal meals are worthless in the face of Pill Cuisine."
"Those who can concoct Pill Cuisine have unparalleled, innate talent for the way of pills despite having no cultivation. They were born with a deep understanding of the balance between medication’s elements. They are destined to become Grandmasters of Pills!"
Owen Bertram noticed the strange look on the old man’s face when he looked at his sister!
Owen Bertram’s face darkened, and he stepped in front of his sister: "Get out!" This old pervert, daring to have designs on my sister, I swear I won’t kill you!
Alvin Morgan, known for his earnestness in Waves Prefecture and even throughout the entire Kai County, responded straightforwardly: "Alright."
Immediately, he rolled out of the room in a series of tumbles!
Not caring about his dusty appearance, he stuck his head back in through the door. "Are you satisfied now?"
Owen Bertram scratched his head, perplexed. "Don’t come in just yet..." Your behavior has startled me; let me think about what you’re up to.
"Alright, I won’t come in." Alvin Morgan had never been such a pushover in his life. With a smile that resembled a blooming chrysanthemum on his old face, he said, "Miss Ava is a prodigy in the way of pills. Heaven has allowed me to discover this gifted talent first. I’m willing to teach her with all my might, ensuring she becomes the brightest pearl in the way of pills within the Wood Dynasty and even the Eight Desolates!"
Having finished this passionate outburst, the first person to be stunned was Matthew.
The feeling was like peeling an orange, taking a sour bite, and having a roommate nearby asking, "Is it good?" Inevitably, you’d highly recommend it: "It’s delicious; you should try it."
Matthew even wanted to thank the heavens. He couldn’t be the only one to suffer; you, Alvin Morgan, had it coming after dominating Waves Prefecture for so many years!
Before Owen Bertram could speak, Matthew took the initiative: "Sir, I’m no longer capable of teaching Miss Ava. Her talent is exceptional and shouldn’t be wasted. It wouldn’t hurt for her to learn the way of pills first."
