Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Upon hearing this news, the Martial Arts Forum once again boiled with excitement.

They all started to imagine Dexter Blair’s strength.

“This Dexter Blair is also a well-known genius in Capital City. If Dominic Taylor can step into the Martial Marquis, he might not be unable to.”

“There’s a good show coming, with news of the two great geniuses in Capital City at the same time, I wonder what Ethan Smith should do.”

“Ah, Ethan Smith’s talent shouldn’t be any worse than theirs. It’s just a matter of time, but who’s giving him the time.”

“In just twenty days, how much room for improvement can Ethan Smith have?”

Looking at the news on the Martial Arts Forum, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel anxious.

He got up and looked in the direction of the Pavilion Master Building, intending to ask the Pavilion Master about the matter of the five thousand year old medicinal herbs.

But after thinking it over, he eventually decided to cancel the plan.

If the Lord Pavilion Master had news, he would definitely inform him.

Capital City Martial Arts Association, many higher-ups gathered together.

This was the third time this year that the martial arts association had convened a high-level meeting.

And their meeting’s target was the same.

That is Ethan Smith!

“Ethan Smith defeated a half-step Martial Marquis in the Grandmasters Realm. This is not good news.”

“This kid is not under our control, and he will definitely become a hidden danger.”

“Either let him join the Capital City Martial Arts Association, or get rid of him as soon as possible.”

“Do you think someone like him, who is an unstable element, will obediently follow our orders?”

The scene fell into silence.

They had already started to feel fear at the growth of Ethan Smith.

Moreover, the entire Capital City Martial Arts Association had a similar premonition:

That Ethan Smith’s rise would inevitably bring trouble, and even disaster to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

“Just wait, there are still more than twenty days, no matter what, we can’t let him leave the Capital City,” someone said in a deep voice.

“That kid from the Blair family should not disappoint us.”

Ethan Smith didn’t know that he was being targeted by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

At this moment, all he could think about was the wedding of Dexter Blair on September 9th.

Nighttime.

Ethan Smith tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

He simply got up, ran to the courtyard of the Elder’s residence, and gazed at the moon in the sky.

“The moon is the object of extreme yin. If I could swallow the moonlight, that would be great.” Ethan Smith thought quietly to himself.

But this crazy idea was quickly dismissed by him.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve swallowed any dark energy.” Ethan Smith sighed slightly.

There are countless treasures in the world.

Places with abundant dark energy are also quite a few. If Ethan Smith had a long period of travel, he might have had access to good resources.

However, there wasn’t enough time left.

Most of the martial arts resources in Pyro were controlled by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

It was said that they had a piece of information that clearly showed where Divine Medicine would appear and where treasures would emerge.

It was precisely because of this reason that the Capital City Martial Arts Association never lacked resources.

Ethan Smith didn’t close his eyes the whole night.

Early the next morning, Ethan Smith was about to have breakfast.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and the Pavilion Master slowly walked in.

“Lord Pavilion Master!”

Seeing the Pavilion Master, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

The Pavilion Master went straight to Ethan Smith’s side and sat down, speaking quietly, “I have asked around.”

“How is it?” Ethan Smith asked anxiously.

The Pavilion Master said in a deep voice, “Five thousand year old medicinal herbs are extremely rare, and even if they exist, only a few people have control over them.”

Ethan Smith frowned and asked, “Do you mean… I should steal them?”

The Pavilion Master raised her eyebrows and asked, “Would you be willing to do that?”

Ethan Smith forced a smile and replied, “I don’t want to, but if there’s no other choice… who knows.”

Hearing this, the Pavilion Master couldn’t help but laugh.

She took out a map from her pocket and handed it to Ethan Smith.

A position on the map, marked with a red line, appeared to be extremely remote.

Ethan Smith frowned, “This is…?”

“I got it from someone in the Capital City Martial Arts Association,” the Pavilion Master said.

“It’s said to be a Dragon Vein. There, you could possibly find what you’re looking for, or even medicinal herbs beyond your imagination.”

“Dragon Vein?” Ethan Smith was stunned.

He had seen this term in novels, but had never seen it in reality.

It was said that Dragon Veins were lucky lands where qi gathered, and those born in Dragon Veins were destined to do extraordinary things throughout their lives.

“Thank you, Lord Pavilion Master.” Ethan Smith took the map and bowed respectfully.

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan Smith and said, “Don’t celebrate too soon. There will definitely be others going to such a place.”

“Furthermore, since it’s a resource of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, they probably won’t let you off the hook if you show up.”

“And, although Joshua Hess has already left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, he will not give up so easily. If he kills you, there’s nothing I can do.”

Ethan Smith clenched the map, and a solemn expression crossed his face.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but think of Emily Taylor’s face and Dexter Blair’s arrogant expression.

“I have no other choice,” Ethan Smith said, taking a deep breath.

“Even if it’s a den of dragons and tigers, I must take my chances.”

As for the Pavilion Master, she didn’t comment on this. After a while, she got up and said, “Take care of yourself.”

“Okay,” Ethan Smith nodded.

As the Pavilion Master was about to leave, Ethan Smith took out the Three Pure Ancient Tree from his Spatial Magic Artifact and handed it to her.

“Lord Pavilion Master, please hold on to this for me,” Ethan Smith said.

The Pavilion Master’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Ethan Smith. “What do you mean?”

Ethan Smith bitterly smiled, “I fear that something might happen to me during this trip. If I were to die, wouldn’t this Three Pure Ancient Tree fall into someone else’s hands?”

“If that’s the case, I might as well leave it at Divine Alchemist Pavilion temporarily. If I come back, I’ll ask for it from you.”

The Pavilion Master took the Three Pure Ancient Tree and nodded, “Alright.”

“Then I’ll set off now,” Ethan Smith said as he got up.

He studied the map carefully.

The Dragon Vein was located in the northwest region, where there were few inhabitants but not much qi.

Now that a Dragon Vein could be found, it must be due to some extraordinary treasure.

After bidding farewell to the Pavilion Master, Ethan Smith left the Divine Alchemist Pavilion and headed straight for the Dragon Vein.

At the same time, the Capital City Martial Arts Association had also gathered a group of members.

These people were all elites of the Capital City Martial Arts Association! The weakest was at the Peak Form of Grandmaster, and there were even several half-step Martial Marquises!

As elites of the Martial Arts Association, they mastered powerful cultivation skills. Their strength was incomparable to ordinary half-step Martial Marquises!

Many of them were descendants sent by aristocratic families in Capital City, holding prestigious status.

And the one leading the team was none other than the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, Emerson Holmes!

“You are all elites of the Martial Arts Association, and of utmost importance. This Dragon Vein must contain treasures beyond imagination,” Emerson Holmes said coldly.

“So, take advantage of this opportunity, understood?”

The crowd shouted in unison, “Understood!”

Emerson Holmes nodded slightly, and a barely detectable trace of desire appeared in his eyes.

Emerson Holmes had been at the half-step Martial Marquis level for many years, and he was only a hair’s breadth away from the Martial Marquis realm!

Therefore, he also wanted to use this Dragon Vein to step into the Martial Marquis realm!
