Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 3112 Success

"Yes, you all are so noble and impressive, leaving me to suffer alone. Look at what has become of my herb garden. And with so many herbs, if he fails..." Mr. Stewart fumed at the group of old men, his face red with anger. Despite his distress over the herbs, he wasn't about to lose sight of the bigger picture. The next moment, a surge of nimbus energy swept inward, converging within a hundred-yard radius. Mr. Stewart watched the surge, his eyes filled with excitement as he muttered to himself, "It's done! The grandmaster breakthrough pill is done!" Inside the room, Matthew relaxed as he looked at the nine-striation pill floating before him. A nine-striation breakthrough pill would surely be enough for him to reach the grandmaster level.

As soon as he opened the door, Matthew was greeted by an excited Mr. Stewart, who grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously. "Mr. Larson, how many striations does your breakthrough pill have? With your medical skills, surely, it's seven or eight striations!" The striations on a pill represented its medicinal potency. Even with Matthew's exceptional skills, Mr. Stewart hadn't dared hope for nine striations.

"Thanks to your herb garden, Mr. Stewart, I managed to create a nine-striation breakthrough pill." With that, Matthew handed the jade bottle containing the pill to Mr. Stewart, who he believed was eager to inspect it.

"No, opening it will cause the pill to lose its potency. You must break through immediately; there's no time to waste." Mr. Stewart pushed the jade bottle back to Matthew and quickly turned away, fearing he would succumb to the pill's allure if he stayed any longer. Looking at the returned bottle, Matthew felt touched and thought the elder was a decent guy despite his tendency to grumble.

Lucius approached, looking serious. "Matthew, where do you plan to make your breakthrough?"

The disturbance caused by a grandmaster breakthrough would be significant. If other nations noticed, they wouldn't allow Matthew to break through peacefully, likely even sending several grandmasters to intervene. Matthew pondered for a moment before thinking of a place.

"Mr. Lucius, if possible, I'd like to borrow the forbidden ground of the Red Fire Lotus for my breakthrough."

Lucius' expression shifted. The Red

Fire Lotus was located in the deepest cave of Basha's Sacred Mount, surrounded by various restrictions and guarded by a divine beast. It was indeed the best place for the breakthrough.

"Matthew, that forbidden ground is the most important place in Basha's Sacred Mount. It's not convenient for an outsider like you to enter." Lucius paused, then added, "Of course, if you marry Ivy, you'll be considered family. By then, you can even become the next sect master!"

Matthew rubbed his forehead in exasperation. This elder was wonderful in every way except for his habit of trying to arrange marriages for him.

"Mr. Lucius, Sasha is your goddaughter, and I'm her husband. That makes me family, doesn't it?"

Lucius, who had been smug about his plan, suddenly froze, forgetting that he had previously taken Sasha as his goddaughter. Eventually, Lucius relented and led Matthew to the cave at the back of the mountain. "The divine beast guarding the forbidden ground was left by our ancestor. Stay close to me and don't speak. The divine beast won't trouble us."

Matthew nodded obediently. After all, he was using their forbidden ground for his breakthrough; the least he could do was not cause trouble. After escorting Matthew to the cave, Lucius left. Sasha was still cultivating inside, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to intrude on the couple.

Not wanting to disturb Sasha,

Matthew settled in a corner, took out the nine-striation pill, and swallowed it. Unbeknownst to him, there was a faint, nearly imperceptible tenth striation on the pill-it was on the verge of becoming a ten-striation pill.
