Chapter 82 The Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure and the Secret Method of Nourishing
Brandon did not know if someone was backing William, but he had to help hype William up for the moment, so he pointed upward with his hand.
Tristan trembled all over. “Could it be…”
Brandon said nonchalantly, “It’s enough that you understand. I can’t say too much.”
Tristan hurriedly said, “Yes. Thank you so much for your hint, Master Cromwell. I know what to do from
now on!”
After finishing his task, Brandon went to find Gerald as well. At that moment, William was checking the color of the medicinal soup in the big vat. He glanced at it and said, “The toxins have been neutralized.” Gerald was in an excellent mood now and spoke with a smile, “Dr. Barrett, thank you for your hard work.” William replied, “Don’t mention it, Mr. White. You’re the world–famous sword deity. It’s my honor to be able to cure your injury.”
Gerald laughed. “I’m no sword deity. It’s all just rumors. At most, I know a few sword techniques.”
William asked him, “Why did you kill that poisonous snake before this?”
Gerald gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s a coincidence. I like to travel in the wild, and a few days ago, I arrived at a primitive forest in Symphonia. I wanted to collect some wild mountain herbs to take home. Not long after I set out, I saw a plant with three flowers blooming on it. They were blue, red, and white respectively. It also had a bunch of purple fruit, which emitted a strange fragrance. I took a look and knew it wasn’t ordinary, so I wanted to take it away. But then, a big snake suddenly sprang out. In a moment of desperation, I slashed it with my sword.”
“But that snake was too powerful. It swept me away with its tail and sent me flying. Then, it spewed out rainbow–colored gas after it landed on the ground. I only took a breath of that gas and nearly fainted. Fortunately, I relied on my cultivation base to force out a sword radiance and cut off the snake’s head. Although I slayed it, I was also injured. The poison entered my blood, and I couldn’t move at the time. Later, I was carried back home, thanks to Jaxson and his men.”
William’s thoughts were all on that tri–colored flower. As soon as he heard its description, his heart skipped a beat. Isn’t that the Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure? The fruit it bears is called the Three–Treasure Pill. It’s even more precious than the blood fungus!
He remained calm and asked, “Mr. White, did you collect that mysterious herb?”
Gerald nodded. “I ordered someone to collect it and put it in a jade box. Then, he told Jaxson, “Jaxson, bring the box here.”
Jaxson quickly rummaged through his luggage and found the jade box. After opening it, a plant about. twenty centimeters long, with three flowers on top, was revealed. In the middle of the plant, a string of purple fruit, each about the size of a soybean, hung with about twenty to thirty of them.
Gerald observed William and asked, “Do you recognize this medicine, Dr. Barrett?”
William nodded. “This is the Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure. It can be used as medicine. If I’d known

about it earlier, I would’ve used it to detoxify you instead of using the blood fungus. The effect would’ve been far better.”
Gerald thought this was indeed a person of extraordinary knowledge, so he continued to ask, “What is the use of this plant?”
William replied. “The fruit it bears is called the Three–Treasure Pill; it’s to refine elixirs.”
Gerald’s heart skipped a beat. “It’s part of alchemy? Dr. Barrett, do you practice alchemy?”
In Igneus, some ancient inheritances possessed profound alchemical knowledge. However, such individuals were extremely rare, and he had never encountered one in his entire life.
William shook his head. “My cultivation base is too low. If I want to practice alchemy, I need to at least reach the Innate Realm.”
Gerald’s heart jumped with joy. “So, you mean to say once you reached the Innate Realm, you can practice alchemy?”
William could practice alchemy since the medical knowledge he learned included a whole section on alchemy, but he had not studied it in depth. He did not deny it and simply said, “I know a little bit.”
Everyone present was shocked and looked at William differently. If someone could practice alchemy, their status in the underworld would be like that of an immortal!
Gerald’s gaze swept over to Jaxson. I can’t believe this fool offended Dr. Barrett!
Jaxson was not stupid. He immediately came to William’s side and clasped his hands together, pleading, “Dr. Barrett, you cured my father. My family is very grateful. I was wrong before. I didn’t know right from wrong, and I terrorized you. I shouldn’t have done that! I hope you can forgive me.”
William responded calmly, “It’s all right. The past is past. Mr. Jesse, I hope you think twice before acting in the future.”
“Yes, Dr. Barrett. I’ve learned my lesson.” Jaxson smiled. “You’ve worked hard today. Here’s a little something as a token of appreciation. Please accept it. He handed over a check worth a staggering 3 million without hesitation.
William did not refuse and accepted the check. Thank you.”
After seeing him accept the check, Jaxson breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified that William would refuse it. However, Gerald said, “Money is just a worldly possession. Dr. Barrett, I’ll gift this Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure to you!”
William was surprised. “A gift to me?”
Gerald nodded and said, “I can’t fully realize the value of this divine herb if it’s in my hands, but it’s different in yours. You can maximize its value and benefit people.”
William hesitated a bit. The proper effect of the Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure was indeed astonishing! However, he did not mention the full potential of the herb. If used well, this medicine could easily help someone reach the Innate Realm!
After a moment of silence, William suddenly asked, “How long have you been in the Innate Realm, Mr.
White?

The Innate Realm was the final stage of the Yellow Realm, also known as the Foundation Realm. It was a crucial stage; without a stable foundation in this realm, it was impossible to advance to higher levels of the Profound Realm.
Gerald smiled and said, “It’s been seven years.”
William thought for a second and continued, “The Innate Realm, also known as the Foundation Realm. requires the cultivation of Innate Prenatal Breathing. Your breathing technique is very advanced, but you don’t know the proper way to nourish yourself, which has led to a gradual weakening of your Innate Prenatal Breathing. If nothing unexpected happens, your cultivation base will deteriorate to the previous Realm within two years.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Gerald’s face changed dramatically as he looked at William in shock before waving his hand. “All of you, leave!”
Everyone left, leaving only William and Gerald, who forced a smile. “Dr. Barrett, you’re truly a divine being! Yes. My cultivation base has been regressing for the past three years!”
William replied calmly. “This is the consequence of not knowing how to nourish yourself. Only by doing so can you stabilize your cultivation base and ultimately build a solid foundation for advancing to the Kings Realm.”
Gerald bowed submissively, and his face was earnest as he said, “Please teach me!”
William replied indifferently, “Initially, I was unwilling to say much because everyone has their own fortunes. However, since you’ve presented me with the Spiritual Herb of Three–Treasure, I cannot refuse to repay this favor.”
He immediately approached and imparted to Gerald the method of nourishing the body while leaving three prescriptions for Gerald to take at different times. The medicinal ingredients listed on the prescriptions were all precious, and only a large clan like the White Family could afford to consume them.
After receiving William’s guidance, Gerald was flushed with excitement. He even jumped out of the vat

and kneeled before William, who quickly stepped aside and expressed, “ven jumped out of the vat
However, Gerald still kneeled and stated in a deep voice, “In exchange for saving my life and granting me a new beginning, please accept my respectful bow!”
The cultivation techniques William imparted were untrivial. With his guidance, Gerald felt as if he had been given a new lease on life. His gratitude could only be expressed through such a bow of respect!
