Emily nodded, and only then did she flash a faint smile.
“Jared, why don't I go with you to gather herbs? I'm familiar with the terrain here.”
Percy wanted to tag along with Jared to collect herbs.
In fact, he had another plan in mind, which was to learn some skills from Jared. If he could acquirealchemy skills and become an alchemist, that would be great.
Jared could fathom Percy's intention, but he said, “Percy, you can come with me to gather herbsanother time. Ali and the others are hurt, so you should escort them back to the village for now.”
“Jared, please let Percy go with you. We've already left the Demon Wolves' territory, so thereshouldn't be any more danger. We can make it back on our own.” Ali also wished Percy could learnmore from Jared.novelbin
After all, Jared was an outsider who could leave Rock Village at any time. If Percy could become analchemist, he would become a significant asset to the village.
Hearing Ali's words, Jared agreed and left the party with Percy to collect some herbs.
As the spiritual energy of the Ethereal Realm was abundant, there were countless spiritual plants inthe mountains. Those plants would be priceless treasures in the mundane world, but in the EtherealRealm, they were no different from wild grasses, left unharvested.
Even though the mundane world's spiritual energy had been restored now, those spiritual plantscouldn't mature within a short period. Some spiritual plants required ten years or even a century togrow.
“Percy, do you see this? This oval, light green leaf is called...” Jared explained to Percy as hegathered the medicinal herbs.
He was merely imparting the latter with some fundamental knowledge for being an alchemist.
After all, there was no way for one to qualify as an alchemist if one couldn't differentiate betweenherbs.
Percy was a dedicated student. He remembered everything Jared had taught him after only oneexplanation. Then, he started helping Jared to collect the herbs.
Before nightfall, Jared and Percy returned to Rock Village with many herbs.
Ali and the others had long since returned. Antonio had already arranged for others to help thoseinjured clean their wounds and apply a black ointment.
Those were folk remedies from Rock Village. Some people who couldn't afford medical treatmentcould only apply those remedies to their wounds; whether they could heal was up to fate.
When Jared and Percy arrived at Rock Village, Antonio and all the villagers were waiting for them inthe village square.
At the sight of Jared's return, Antonio and everyone from Rock Village knelt before him.
“Mr. Chance, thank you for saving Rock Village!” Antonio uttered in agitation.
If Jared hadn't rescued Ali and the others, Rock Village would have lost its younger generations,and their survival would become even more difficult.
“Mr. Antonio, what are you doing? Please stand up.” Jared hurriedly helped Antonio up and askedthe other villagers to get to their feet as well.
“Mr. Chance, if it weren't for you, Ali and the others wouldn't have made it back this time. Ali told meeverything. I didn't expect you to be an alchemist. You sure are adept at concealing your talents,”Antonio said to Jared.
“This is my obligation. If it weren't for Rock Village, I probably would've died in the jungle.”
As Jared spoke, he took out all the Demon Wolf carcasses from his Storage Ring and said, “Mr.Antonio, have someone deal with these carcasses. I'm going to craft some pills to speed up Ali andthe others' recovery.”
“Okay, all right, sure! Feel free to let us know if you need anything, Mr. Chance. Everyone at RockVillage will be at your service from now on,” Antonio responded fervently.
Jared didn't ask for anything. He merely requested a pot and then hastened back to Emily's houseto start crafting pills in the courtyard.
