After the troublemakers left, Fade turned to the students. They were very excited as they stood upright and stared at Fade feverishly. The famous Master Chen was standing in front of them. It never occurred to them that Master Chen gave them a lecture earlier.

Fade stared at the students and cleared his throat. He began solemnly, "Mr. Tu poured his heart and hopes into establishing Chinese Medicine Academy. We're doing our best to promote and contribute to Chinese medicine."

"If any of you came here with any ulterior motives, I urge you to either change your mind and study hard or leave immediately. If anything similar ever happens again in the future, Pierre and Dallas will serve as a reminder. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" The students replied in unison. They had a somber look and Fade's statement shocked them.

After that, Fade waved his hand to dismiss the students and concluded, "Go on, go back to your classes."

After resolving the conflict, the academy was peaceful again. Moreover, everyone heard the news that Master Chen was supporting the academy. Immediately, everyone had their eyes on Chinese Medicine Academy and many people tried to enroll in the academy.

Fade knew that many students had ulterior motives when enrolling in Chinese Medicine Academy. Yet, it would do them no harm to learn and promote Chinese medicine.

Chinese Medicine Academy and Southern Medical Center were doing well. Meanwhile, it had been a few days since Andrew announced that Fade would be exchanging various rare herbs and cultivation resources but Fade made no progress.

Fade sought out Andrew and took a look at the valuables that were offered. Yet, Fade did not manage to find anything good as they were mostly Black Level items.

He did not even come across any Earth Level items, let alone any Heaven Level items.

Fade was a little taken aback and he could not help asking Andrew, "What's going on? South Bay City is such a huge city and there are countless influential figures. Yet, don't they have anything better than this?"

Andrew scratched his head and stuttered hesitantly, "Master Chen, well, it's not like that. It's just... Well..."

"What's going on? Tell me," Fade urged.

Andrew explained, "Master Chen, they have a lot of valuables but they're being cautious. They're worried that you won't be able to give them something similar in exchange, so they..."

Fade understood what Andrew meant. Ultimately, those people did not see the point in exchanging items with Fade. Therefore, no one was willing to take the initiative to present valuable items.

In the end, Fade came to a conclusion. His eyes darted across the roll and he clapped his hands together. He concluded, "Alright, I see. Since they don't believe that I can offer something good, then I just have to make them believe me."

"Master Chen, you mean..." Andrew asked.

There was a Black Level herb named Black Flame Flower among the pile of items. Fade grabbed it and scrutinized it before saying, "This will do. I have a Black Level martial arts manual called Thunder Palm. Go on, send the manual to whoever that offered this herb."

"A Black Level martial arts manual! That's too precious. It's just a Black Flame Flower and it's not worth it..." Andrew replied in astonishment.

Fade waved his hand to stop Andrew and replied flatly, "I think highly of precious items and the people in South Bay City will now know that I'm serious. Go on!" "Yes!" Andrew took the martial art manual from Fade and went off to carry out Fade's instruction.

In less than a day, everyone in South Bay City heard that Master Chen exchanged a Black Level martial arts manual named Thunder Palm for a Black Flame Flower, which was a Black Level herb. All the influential figures in South Bay City were bewildered.

After all, one did not have to be a martial artist to understand how precious a Black Level martial arts manual was. Although Black Flame Flower was a Black Level herb too, it was a tangible item and it would be useless after using it. However, a Black Level martial arts manual could be passed down for generations.

In general, one will not be able to exchange a Black Level martial arts manual for ten Black Level herbs. Nevertheless, Master Chen was generous and he exchanged a manual for a herb. Immediately, everyone in South Bay City went green with envy.

As a result, in the next few days, the influential figures in South Bay City were bought over by Fade. They started digging for real treasures in their homes to offer them to Fade.

Fade evaluated the items personally before exchanging the items. In just a few days, he received numerous valuable items. There were many Earth Level items and Fade was surprised to find a few Heaven Level items as well.

Naturally, Fade wanted Hallow Ice Spring but no one offered it. Yet, he saw it coming, hence he did not put his hopes up.

As Fade continued to count the items he exchanged, the influential figures in South Bay City were discussing what they exchanged with Master Chen excitedly.

Most of them chose to exchange martial arts manuals with Fade because improving martial arts would be the best way to protect their clans and families.

Meanwhile, some people requested Fade's help. Some asked him to deal with their enemies while others requested him to cure their friends and families who were ill. After careful consideration, Fade agreed to solve their problems.

Therefore, for the past few days, Master Chen's popularity skyrocketed in South Bay City.

However, the Soo family was quiet as the citizens in South Bay City discussing about Master Chen enthusiastically.

After learning about Fade's identity at the annual banquet, the Soo family had been living in distress and fear. They were worried that Fade would seek revenge on them.

Nevertheless, Momo was probably the reason why Fade did not make a move on them.

For the past few days, even though Fade caused an uproar by exchanging items, the Soo family did not join in the bandwagon. On the contrary, they picked a few Earth Level items nonchalantly and exchanged them with Fade.

Yet, the younger members of the Soo family could not understand Egbert's decision and gathered at Egbert's room.

Somoset suggested to Egbert, "Father, we still have a few Heaven Level items, so why don't we exchange them with Master Chen?"

"Father, I think we should prepare for Master Chen and Memo's wedding as soon as possible. We can't let a good son-in-law like him slip through our fingers!" Lyla added smilingly. Currently, she was more excited about Memo's marriage than Memo's father.

"Father, that's right. We should at least pay Master Chen a visit to apologize and clear up the misunderstanding we had at the annual banquet!" Ernest added.

Egbert was quiet as he heard the trio. Shortly after, Egbert raised his head and announced solemnly, "There's no need to rush. Let's wait."
