Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1811
"I'm here to look for a medicinal ingredient, not to look for a spiritual herb. What exactly is this herb you are looking for?" Fade asked.
"He doesn't know of this, Heidey, there's nothing to tell him about!" Gorvyn reminded her.
She frowned and repeated, "There's nothing to hide from Fade."
She then turned to Fade and explained, "During this period of time, the martial arts world is going through major shifts. Each clan will start to engage with the secular world, appearing before the public, instead of living in seclusion and hiding or being devoted to spiritual developments."
"After entering the secular world, many clans will start to accept disciples. As of now, many people will start going crazy in order to enter a clan whenever one is spotted," she continued.
"Of course, the better the clan, the higher the requirements for disciple acceptance as well. There is an Earth Level clan on our side who's accepting disciples. Gorvyn and I wanted to enter, but our strength and aptitudes were not up to the standards of their requirement." "We heard that there is a type of spiritual herb
here at Namuchia Lake and it can improve our natural aptitudes as well as our strengths. We can enter the clan and possibly become one of their great disciples if we succeed in getting this herb," she explained.
"This is why we came to Namuchia."
Heidey finished her words in one breath and soon looked at Fade.
Upon hearing what she had said, he was momentarily silent. He remembered the moment before he left Capital City when Jaguar Xu mentioned that something big would happen. Judging from the looks of it now, it seemed that this big thing was probably the news of the clans entering the secular society.
Clans entering the society, acceptance of disciples, martial arts being opened to the public. All of these happenings would bring great shifts to social formation.
Of course, this wasn't the time to think about these things. He looked up and saw another ordinarily-dressed young man and woman. Then, he turned to Heidey and asked, "Are those people here for the same reason as well?"
She nodded and said, "I figured that at least 90% of them are here for the spiritual herb's function of improving one's natural aptitude. Aren't you here forthat too, Fade?"
He shook his head and said, "I didn't know of this happening before coming here. I only heard that there's a medical herb that I need here. Therefore, I chose to come."
"I see." Heidey nodded. Then, she looked at him and said, "Fade, I think you'd better come with us. Schultz has acquaintances here. Since you're looking for some herbs as well, we might be going to the same place. Let's go together!"
He pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together!"
Upon hearing those words, a smile immediately lit up on her face. However, Gorvyn's eyebrows knitted as if he wasn't pleased with the idea.
"Let's go, Schultz!" Heidey said as she rushed towards him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Schultz gave a slight frown and spoke with an awkward face. "Heidey, we can't bring him along with us," he said.
"Why? Schultz, Fade saved us." She was puzzled as she rebutted.
Schultz looked at her and explained, "Heidey, let me explain. It's not about me not wanting to bring Fade in. It's because we only have three spots for the entry quota. With one more person, there's no way we can enter."
She refuted and said, "It's just an entry spot, isn't it? I'll just buy one for Fade with the same amount of money that my father gave me. Wouldn't that be alright, then?"
Upon hearing this, he spoke with a bitter face, "Miss Lin, money isn't the problem. The money that your father used was to get someone to obtain a spot on the entrance list. Therefore, it's not something you can directly buy with money." "Furthermore, the number of people coming from Namuchia has already exceeded the limits, and this can't be helped even with the power of money," he added.
"How could this be? Then..." She instantly frowned and had a troubled look on her face.
Upon seeing this situation, Fade reassured her and said, "It's okay, Heidey. I'll just continue with what was planned before and move along alone. You don't have to worry about me." "But..." She was still worried about him. However, there was nothing more she could do.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll find a way to get in."
"I'll be waiting for you inside then, Fade," she spoke with a firm tone.
Gorvyn's lips curled up and was obviously disdain towards Fade's comments.
They immediately followed Schultz and reached the side of Namuchia Lake.
There was a small valley by the lake. At the entrance of the valley, a city wall was built with wood and stones, leaving a two-meter-wide door open for people to enter and exit.
People would occasionally bring different-sized entry cards for verification at the gate before entering.
Of course, there were many people wandering around outside. They were obviously finding a way to get in since they didn't have an entry card.
Some couldn't even make it to the gate as they were blocked by two strong Zambustan men who were guarding the gate. "Stop right there. Do not continue forward or we won't be polite about it," they warned. Upon seeing this situation, Heidey and Gorvyn frowned slightly.
Schultz immediately gave a fawning look and handed over three entry cards. "This is our entry pass," he said.
As soon as they verified their cards, he opened the gate and let Heidey and the others in.
Gorvyn and Schultz immediately walked in while Heidey was a little hesitant. She turned to look at Fade and said, "Fade, you..."
Upon seeing this, he smiled and gave a slight wave. "Go ahead. I'll go in," he said.
Heidy went in and followed the others. The gate closed and their figures quickly disappeared.
Fade stood at the gate and looked at his surroundings.
Just as Fade was looking around, several men and women came over and questioned him. "Hey, why didn't you go in with your friends?" They asked.
He turned around and said, "I don't have an entry pass."
"You don't have an entry pass? Weren't you going together with them?" They curiously asked.
He shook his head and said, "We just coincidentally met along the way. How about you guys? You don't have an entry pass as well?"
They sighed and helplessly said, "Yes, it's been getting harder to get an entry pass. In the beginning, five hundred yuan was all it needed. Now, you can't even get it with one thousand yuan."
"That's right. The news comes slowly to people from small towns like us. As soon as the news had reached us, the entry passes had all been given out," one of them explained.
"Who's fault is it to blame then? We had no choice but to come here and try our luck. Who would've thought that we don't even have a chance at all!" Another grumbled.
Upon listening to their discussion, Fade paused for a while and continued to ask, "Is there really a medicine that can improve one's talent in the valley? Has anyone ever seen it? What kind of medicine is it?" Upon hearing his question, the people started to get excited and pumped up.
"Brother, you have to believe it. There's something special in this valley," one of them said.
"I didn't believe it either when my father first told me about this. However, when I saw the son of the richest family in my town taking the medicine and becoming dramatically powerful and talented, I immediately let go of my doubts. This is definitely something great," another commented.
"There's no need to listen to this story. When I came two days ago, I saw someone who had previously entered, come out of the valley with an upgraded skill level. He didn't even go in for a day," a third said. "It's really amazing. Otherwise, it wouldn't attract so many people."
