Chapter 474: 474: The Ancient Tree is Acquired!_1
Looking at the collapsed Hydrating Tower, Elder Foster immediately became anxious!
“Ethan Smith, f*ck your mother!” Elder Foster’s pupils shrank, and he cursed!
A strong light burst out from his palm, heading straight for Ethan Smith!
Ethan Smith clenched his fist and met it head-on.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, Ethan Smith’s figure retreated several steps, and he let out a muffled grunt while blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
After all, Elder Foster was a half-step Martial Marquis, and Ethan Smith’s current condition was not good, so naturally, he was at a disadvantage.
“I’ll kill you!” Elder Foster roared madly.
Ethan Smith didn’t dare waste any time. He hurriedly stepped on the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique and rushed into the ruins, arriving under the first floor of the Hydrating Tower.
At this moment, the environment changed drastically!
The previous picturesque landscape disappeared, replaced by muddy ground everywhere.
And the Guardian also vanished without a trace.
“As expected.” Ethan Smith was overjoyed!
He had made the right bet!
This Hydrating Tower was the Array Eyes!
Ethan Smith hurriedly walked to the Three Pure Ancient Tree, plucked it, and stuffed it into his Spatial Magic Artifact.
“You can’t escape! I’ll kill you!” Elder Foster’s voice came from outside.
Ethan Smith’s face turned serious, and he whispered, “I have to find a way to escape first.”
With that in mind, Ethan Smith mustered his breath, activated the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique again, and bolted!
“You want to run? Dream on!” Elder Foster watched Ethan Smith speed away with a cold expression.
Then, he took a step and quickly chased after him.
But how could Ethan Smith’s Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique be compared to Elder Foster’s?
The distance between the two stretched further and further, and in less than five minutes, Ethan Smith completely disappeared from Elder Foster’s sight.
Elder Foster gasped for breath, his face icy cold.
His followers also quickly caught up.
“Elder Foster, what should we do?” someone asked.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Elder Foster’s aged face.
His eyes narrowed, and he coldly said, “I’ll definitely kill him! Head to the airport! I don’t believe he can escape to the ends of the earth!”
On the other hand, Ethan Smith only dared to stop after fleeing dozens of miles away.
At this moment, his spiritual power was completely depleted, and he collapsed on the ground, utterly powerless.
The consumption of the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique was too great, and he couldn’t maintain it for long.
“I need to get out of Dolan first.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
He quickly hailed a car and rushed to the airport.
On the way, Ethan Smith tentatively sent a message to the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion.
“Lord Pavilion Master, I’ve run into trouble and offended both Great Saint Sect and Halcroen Sect. Can I take shelter at the Divine Alchemist Pavilion?” Ethan Smith asked cautiously.
After all, the Great Saint Sect and Halcroen Sect were both formidable organizations, Ethan Smith wasn’t sure if the Divine Alchemist Pavilion could withstand them.
Soon, the Pavilion Master responded to the message with a single word: “okay.”
Although it was just a simple word, it provided Ethan Smith with great relief.
“I have to trouble the Divine Alchemist Pavilion again.” Ethan Smith gave a bitter smile in his heart.
He wasn’t too clear about the strength of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, only that they had extremely strong connections.
But whether they could withstand the conflict at hand was hard to say.
Upon reaching the airport, Ethan Smith bought the fastest ticket to River Town.
Less than five minutes after Ethan Smith boarded the plane, Elder Foster and his men arrived at the airport.
With the connection of the Great Saint Sect, it was not difficult to find someone. Thus, Elder Foster quickly learned of Ethan Smith’s destination.”River Town?” Elder Foster narrowed his eyes.
“He’s going to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.” The person beside him spoke in a low voice.
Elder Foster snorted coldly, saying, “So what if it’s the Divine Alchemist Pavilion? If he’s opposing my Great Saint Sect, only a dead end awaits him!”
Afterward, Elder Foster bought a plane ticket, heading straight for River Town!
On the plane, Ethan Smith finally got some rest.
“That was close,” remarked Ethan Smith.
Luckily, he got the Three Pure Ancient Tree, so it was not all for nothing.
“With the Three Pure Ancient Tree and the herbs from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, it shouldn’t be difficult to step into half-step Martial Marquis,” thought Ethan.
Thinking about this, a smile couldn’t help but form at the corners of Ethan’s mouth.
With that contented smile, Ethan quickly fell asleep.
By the time Ethan woke up again, he had already arrived at the airport.
Ethan wasted no time, hailing a taxi and heading straight for the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Ethan and Elder Foster arrived one after another, their arrival times differing by less than half an hour.
“Elder Foster, going to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion is of great importance. Shouldn’t we… inform the sect master first?” someone beside him suggested.
Elder Foster snorted coldly, saying, “No need. If she does not give face, it won’t be too late to find the sect master then.”
Once again, he returned to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Standing at the entrance of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but take a deep breath of the rich medicinal aroma that greeted him.
“Master Smith!”
Seeing Ethan Smith, numerous alchemists walked forward to greet him.
“Master Smith, you’re back!”
“Master Smith, there has been no shortage of legends about you since you left. You’re amazing!”
“Master Smith…”
Surrounded by the crowd, Ethan was treated like an idol and role model.
Ethan responded to each of them politely, and after a while, the crowd dispersed.
He made his way to the Pavilion Master Building.
As Ethan opened his mouth, ready to shout, the voice of an attendant came from above: “Master Smith, please come up. The Pavilion Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but scratch his head in embarrassment.
With a single leap, he jumped onto the balcony above.
The Pavilion Master was there, sipping from a cup of black tea.
“Lord Pavilion Master,” Ethan approached, bowing slightly.
The Pavilion Master motioned to the chair with her chin, saying, “Sit.”
Ethan quickly sat across from the Pavilion Master.
Neither side spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.
After a while, Ethan Smith broke the silence, saying, “Lord Pavilion Master, I… I’d like to borrow some herbs from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion… I assure you, I will return them to you as soon as possible!”
The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan and said indifferently, “Ordinary herbs won’t have any effect on you now.”
Ethan replied with a bitter smile, “Yes, I don’t know why, but my dantian requires an exceptionally large amount of qi.”
The Pavilion Master slowly stood up and said softly, “If you want to improve your strength in a short amount of time, there is only one way.”
Ethan hurriedly looked at the Pavilion Master, his eyes filled with admiration.
The Pavilion Master extended her finger, pointing at the warehouse in the distance.
“That place might be useful to you,” the Pavilion Master said indifferently.
Hearing this, Ethan’s pupils suddenly contracted!
Warehouse?
It should be known that all the herbs in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion come from that warehouse. The concentration of qi inside the warehouse is beyond imagination!
