Chapter 1284

Matthew, on the other hand, thought that it was understandable.

Lord Voodoo himself wasn't very strong.He only ran amok because he had the Immortal Charm in his
possession.

Matthew smiled.

"It's fine.He may have escaped with his life, but he better not think that he will have an easy life after
this! Don't forget that he had killed many people from Bainbridge with the snake horde under his
control.That girl was supposed to marry into the Nolan Family in the future.That means that he has
gotten on the Nolans' bad side.How will the Nolans ever show him mercy?"

Upon hearing that, Phoenix grinned.

"True.I figure that he won't have the time to stir up trouble for you later" Matthew smiled mildly.

Once everyone had packed up, they made their way out of the mountain forest.

When they reached the herb growers’ village, Matthew divided up the Seven-Leafed Lotuses.

Although they had agreed on splitting the harvest in half, the herb growers had lied.So, Matthew didn't
bother with playing nice either.He took half of the harvest for himself.

After all, Matthew was the sole reason why everyone was able to come back alive.

Phoenix took his share after that.

The crown prince and Ambrose did as well, and the people from Eastshire and Stonedale took their
share too.



In the end, all the herb growers had for themselves were five stalks.

Although the herb growers were not pleased, they didn't dare to speak up about it.

After all, none of the others here were people they could afford to offend.

After they had bade farewell to Phoenix and the others, Matthew and Ambrose immediately headed
back to Woodside.

Crystal was still in Woodside after all.

Ambrose had only pretended to send her away.

The first thing Matthew did upon returning to Woodside was to dissolve the medicinal bone that he had
obtained.

Over the next three days, he injected the dissolved bone bit by bit into Crystal's body.

Of course, that wasn't enough to suppress the effects of the Frost Charm.

However, with the medicinal bone aiding her, Crystal would be able to strengthen herself with internal
energy while slowly absorbing the medicinal bone, and she would be able to slowly get rid of the Frost
Charm herself.

Then, she would be able to completely escape the Frost Charm's clutches.

Matthew also bestowed a set of internal energy cultivation techniques to Crystal so that she could
absorb the medicinal bone.

Once everything was in place, Matthew looked for Ambrose.He gave him a prescription and asked
Ambrose to help gather some medicinal ingredients for him.



After that, Matthew prepared to use the Nine-Leafed Lotus to refine a pill in order to help himself
surpass his limits.

Among the knowledge contained within the jade pendant, there was a pill called the Godly Emergence
Pill.It was a fantastical pill.

This pill could help a person open their meridians, strengthen their inner energy, and in turn raise their
cultivation levels.

After battling with powerful foes many times, Matthew understood that his strength was far from
sufficient.He had to make himself more powerful as quickly as he could.

The herbs in Matthew's prescription were all extremely rare, but it wasn't a difficult task to gather them
all in Woodside.

Soon, Ambrose had gathered all the necessary herbs.

Matthew immediately went to the secret room that Ambrose had prepared and began to refine the pill.

The only part of the Nine-Leafed Lotus that the Godly Emergence Pill required was the nine leaves.

Matthew plucked the leaves off the lotus and stowed the remaining parts away.

Then, he placed each of the other ingredients in separately and began to slowly refine the pill.It took a
whole day and night before the pill was finally finished.

Matthew opened the pill furnace.

At the bottom of the furnace lay thirteen crimson pills.He took those pills out and swallowed one of
them on the spot.



The moment the pill was consumed, all he could feel was a ball of heat surging from his abdomen,
rapidly spreading throughout his body.

That instant, Matthew felt like he was trapped inside an oven.

The scorching heat kept baking him, leaving his body drenched in sweat.He gritted his teeth through
this suffering as he sat on the ground, cross- legged, cultivating Divine Skill as he slowly let the heat
spread through his body.

Every time he finished cultivating once, his meridians would expand a bit.

Each expansion of the meridians meant that his inner energy levels were being raised.It took a full
three hours before Matthew barely managed to suppress the heat.He could clearly sense that his inner
energy levels had greatly improved, far surpassing his old levels.However, he had only absorbed ten
percent of the pill's effects!
