“Prepare some mystical herbs, Mr. Pruitt. I’ll concoct some pills for them. They will recover quickly physically, but to completely eradicate their inner demons, it will still take some time,” Jared said to Trystan.
The cultivators had been tormented there for an unknown length of time, so they had long since developed inner demons and were likely to even jolt awake in their dreams. Therefore, time was required to get rid of them.
“Okay. I’ll make the arrangements right away!”
Trystan gave a nod.
As the group of cultivators was going to follow Trystan away to rest, Jared’s gaze suddenly fell upon a female cultivator.
Despite appearing youthful, the female cultivator seemed to have lost her life force energy from the torment she suffered.
She was only at Top Level Body Fusion Realm, but she couldn’t be considered weak.
After all, it was no easy feat for a woman to attain that cultivation level by relying solely on her cultivation without the backing of a sect.
The reason Jared noticed her was entirely thanks to the sachet at her waist that had the name Scarlette embroidered on it.
That reminded him of the task Cedric entrusted him-to help look for the girl he loved, Scarlette.
“Wait a moment!” Jared called out to the female cultivator.
When the female cultivator heard Jared calling her, her body shuddered slightly, and a hint of fear showed in her eyes.
The elderly man beside her shielded her behind him. He looked at Jared and asked, “Is something the matter, buddy?”
“May I know if she’s Ms. Scarlette from Epea, mister?” Jared asked outright.
“No. You’ve mistaken her for someone else,” the elderly denied with a shake of his head.
Upon hearing that, Jared immediately put on an apologetic expression and said, “I’m sorry. It was presumptuous of me.”
In truth, he wasn’t acquainted with anyone named Scarlette either. He merely noticed the sachet, so he tried his luck. But since he was mistaken, he decided to let it go.
The female cultivator behind the elderly man opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. Yet, she didn’t utter a word in the end.
The cultivators were then led away by Trystan to rest.
Meanwhile, Nieva stalked over to Jared and asked, “You know that girl, Mr. Chance?”
“No.” Jared shook his head.
“Then, why did you suddenly ask about Scarlette from Epea? You’re not considering dual cultivation with her, are you, Mr. Chance?”
Nieva stared at Jared with a hint of jealousy on her face.
Although she couldn’t practice dual cultivation with him due to her identity, she had long since given her heart to him, intent on being with him.
Once she had found a successor, she would throw herself into his arms without hesitation.
“Of course not. It’s just that the prince of Allardland in Epea asked me to find a girl named Scarlette,” Jared hurriedly clarified.
Then, he changed the subject, asking, “Have you found immortal’s bone? Blood Bone Sect isn’t exactly a minor sect, so they should have a secret room or the like!”
“Immortal’s bone hasn’t been found yet, but we’ve found Blood Bone Sect’s secret room. It’s right here within this bone mountain, likely the place for solitary training. In it is a massive cauldron, its purpose unknown,” Nieva answered.
“Come, let’s go and have a look!”
Following her, Jared leaped up.
The two of them traversed a dark pathway in the bone mountain to reach the secret room. It was a vast space within the mountain, making it clear at a glance that it was a place for solitary training.
In the very center was a cauldron. Its surface was mottled red, obscuring its original color.
The tint was because it had been stained by copious amounts of blood, reducing it to its current state after all these years.
It was covered by a massive copper lid, hiding its content from view.
“I didn’t dare open it, unsure of the kind of evil object that might be in there,” Nieva admitted.
