“What? You know the secret of the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets? Tell me quickly. “Elena appeared extremely nervous. This secret pertained to a treasure, and very few people had information on it.
However, according to ancient records, this treasure was actually a map leading to the Perpetual Empire.
It was said that the Perpetual Empire was heaven on earth-free of diseases and natural disasters. Entering it could grant immortality and extraordinary power. Then, one would become a terrestrial immortal and stand the test of time.
Although it sounded like a fantasy, many people longed for it. They were willing to pay any price to uncover the secret and enter the Perpetual Empire.
Elena was one of them. She desired immortality and immense power. Now, the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the two amulets were in Merlin’s possession. If she could uncover the secret behind them, she would have a chance to enter the Perpetual Empire.
“I can tell you, but I have conditions,” Sebastian said.
“What are your conditions?” Elena asked.
“This place is unfit for a human being. I wanna take a bath and sleep in a proper bed. Also, give me some medicinal herbs to treat my internal injuries,” Sebastian demanded.
Elena warily responded, “I can let you bathe and give you a place to rest. But treating your injuries might be out of the question.”
Sebastian saw through her concerns immediately. “My core’s shattered. Even if Ezekiel were reborn, he wouldn’t be able to heal me. I’m destined to be a cripple for life. I only want to treat my injuries to stop the pain. What are you so worried about?”
Elena thought about it and realized he was right. A shattered core couldn’t be repaired. What harm could giving Sebastian some herbs do? So, she agreed to his terms.
She personally helped Sebastian to a room. Given that his legs were broken and he had difficulty moving, Elena assigned a woman to assist him with his bath. This served two purposes to make Sebastian happy and to monitor him, preventing any tricks.
The woman assisting Sebastian was named Emily Carter. She was a disciple of Novastar Organization. Beautiful and powerful, Emily was on the brink of entering the Grandmaster Realm. With her watching Sebastian, nothing could go wrong.
After his bath, Emily helped Sebastian to his room. The moment he lay on the soft bed, it felt like heaven to him. Being able to bathe and sleep well after days of suffering was a rare luxury.
Shortly after, Emily brought Sebastian a large quantity of medicinal herbs as requested. There were about 50 or 60 kinds.
Elena was very cautious. She was aware of Sebastian’s medical skills and was wary of him concocting poison. Thus, she consulted the person in charge of the herbs to ensure they were all non-toxic.
But Sebastian didn’t plan to make poison. He genuinely needed the herbs for healing. He had internal injuries, broken legs, and a destroyed cultivation base. Medication was necessary for a quick recovery.
The next morning, Elena came to ask about the secret of the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets.
“Ms. Spark, you should at least wait until my injuries are somewhat healed. How about this? Give me three days and I promise to tell you,” Sebastian said, deliberately delaying his
answer.
He had already started cultivating the Eternal Rebirth Codex. This powerful method not only allowed rapid cultivation but also had remarkable healing effects. Three days would be enough to heal his injuries now that he had the herbs. That way, he could begin the initial healing of his leg bones.
“No way. They’ll soon notice you’re missing. If they find out I brought you here, it’ll bring trouble to me,” Elena said, worried.
Sebastian smiled lightly and said dismissively, “Just make up an excuse. Say you’re having me make some beauty-enhancing medicine for you. Those people are all focused on the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets anyway. They won’t have time to bother me.”
“Fine. I’ll believe you one last time. But if you dare play tricks after three days, I promise you’ll regret ever being born,” Elena agreed after some hesitation but issued a stern warning to Sebastian.
