Chapter 122 Three–Legged Jade Toad

 “The Dragon Maul ranks ninth among the various martial arts of the Tribal Summit, and it is difficult to cultivate. I have cultivated it hard for seven years, and so far, I have only achieved preliminary mastery Kiran said with a smile.

 Since William’s thoughts were all on the Dragon Maul, he hastily finished his breakfast and asked Kiran to teach him.

 There were a total of twenty–four styles in the Dragon Maul, and Kiran was familiar with all of them. However, he only managed to master the first twelve styles after cultivating hard for seven years. As for the rest of the twelve styles, he could not execute them.

 After listening to Kiran’s exnation all morning, William memorized all the twenty–four styles of Dragon Maul. At the same time, he discovered that he could double the power of his Shaylin Dragon w ifbined with the Dragon Maul.

 Without further ado, William began practicing the first style. He mastered it in just over an hour, which shocked Kiran beyond words. In fact, it took me more than a month to master the first style! But William only took more than an hour!

 At noon, William asked Gwendolyn and others to temporarily stay in the hotel. Then, he invited Scarlet to join him for a trip to Ivory Dragon Cove, letting Divinus absorb some Qi while he was at it.

 While on the way, he bought some stocks through his phone.

 After Divinus had had its fill of Qi, William continued to treat Sherika. Yesterday, Sherika regained her urinating ability. Today, the result seemed even better, for not only was her stool clear, but Sherika also felt several of her toes had regained their senses.

 The energy of William’s Vision Force was greatly depleted after he withdrew the Golden Needles from Sherika’s body. He meditated on the spot for half an hour before he reopened his eyes.

 Sherika’s beautiful eyes gleamed with happiness, and she expressed her gratitude by saying. “Dr. Barrett, thank you!

 your hard work!”

 Genevieve was absent today, and only one female caretaker was present at the ward.

 “You’re wee, Miss Cabello. I wille again tonight,” said William.

 “Dr. Barrett, I can sense that you were especially tired just now, and I feel terribly sorry about it,” Sherika said.

 Immediately afterward, she instructed the caretaker, “Wendy, bring the red wooden box over.”

 Upon receiving the order, Wendy Brought over a red wooden box. Sherika took the box and put it on herp. Then, she opened it, revealing a translucent–appearing jade toad with three legs.

 William’s heart was racing when he saw the jade toad. At once, he eximed in his heart, It’s a three–legged jade toad–one of the extremely prized herbs. Its value matches that of the Special Grade ginseng. Where did she get it?

 Sherika smiled slightly and probed by asking, “Dr. Barrett, judging from the look on your face, I presume you probably recognize this item in die box.”

 it, Miss Cabello?”

 Sherika grinned. “This jade toad was left to me by my father. He said it was a treasure, but he didn’t know. its method of consumption.”

 “Indeed. This three–legged jade toad is a medicine used for pill refining. Ordinary folks have no way to consume it,” added William

 Lowering her head, Sherikamented, “My father was beaten to death by bad guys in order to protect this jade toad. Now that I think of it, it was extremely not worth it.

 Then, she handed the box to William. “Dr. Barrett, I’m giving you this jade toad.”

 William was startled, and he hurriedly declined, “No. This item is too valuable. I can’t take it!”

 Seeing this, Sherika said calmly, Dr. Barrett, you have rejuvenated my health. For that, I owe you a great debt. Moreover, I understand that I will invite trouble upon my family if someone finds out I have this three–legged jade toad, hence might as well give it to someone who needs it.”

 At that moment, William fell into a dilemma. I have already epted her consultation fee. Won’t it be too much if I ept this jade toad as well?

 After giving it a thought, William proposed, “Okay then. I will pay you 7 million for this three–legged jade road. I will pass you the check this afternoon.

 Sherika quickly waved her hands and refused, “Please don’t, Dr. Barrett. I’m giving you this jade toad out of my utmost sincerity.”

 With a solemn demeanor, William tried to talk her into it. “I know you want to express your gratitude to me, but this jade toad is extremely valuable. I can’t easily ept it. If truth be told, 7 million is far from enough to buy this jade toad. So, I am actually taking advantage of you.”

 When Sherika saw that William was so persistent, she could only nod and agree, “Dr. Barrett, you are a gentleman. You have my respect.”

 Waving his hands, William said modestly, “You don’t have to praise me. Tell me about the origin of this jade toad and your father. How did your father get it?”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

 Sherika nodded and started telling the ins and outs of the incident.

 Brody Cabello, Sherika’s father, was a local ginseng picker. Oftentimes, ginseng pickers were skilled in martial arts as they needed to venture into inessible desertednd in search of wild

 ginseng.

 Brody was the master among the ginseng pickers. He had picked plenty of First Grade ginsengs in his life. For that reason, his worth was pretty high, and he was regarded as a wealthy man among the locals.

 When Sherika was 13 years old, Brody, who hadn’t been to the mountain for a long time, received a call and invited threepanions to Frosty Mountain to pick ginseng.

 He was away for half a month, and when he returned, Brody lost an arm, was blind in one eye, and sustained severe injury.

 With their extensive experiences in ginseng picking, Brody and hispanions journeyed through the mountain for 10 days until they finally located the jade toad’sir–an icy pond.

 It took them three days to sessfully lure the jade toad out and capture it using an ancient technique. However, just after they caught the jade toad, two figures suddenly appeared from the side.

 Of these two figures, one was a master of Form–and–Will Boxing, while another was a master of the Eight Trigrams Palm. They killed three of Brody’spanions with a few moves. If Brody hadn’t had the jade toad in his arms and forced the two men to be cautious in their moves, he would have been killed too.

 Brody resisted their attacks with all his strength. Still, the two men broke one of Brody’s arms and stabbed. one of Brody’s eyes. On the brink of life and death, Brody ran down the mountain with all his strength and escaped.

 Although the two chased after Brody at full speed, they eventually failed to locate him as it suddenly started snowing heavily, and the sky was already dark.

 Holding hisst breath. Brody took the jade toad back to his hometown and told his family the ins and outs of the incident.

 Brody died due to his severe injuries on the day he arrived home.

 The Cabello Family was beyond grief–stricken. After they buried Brody’s body, they left their hometown, kept their identity hidden, and settled in Celestial.

 After listening to Sherika’s story, William sighed softly and said, “Your family made the right decision to leave your hometown. Otherwise, those two bad guys would definitely go after your family.”

 Sherika nodded. “Yeah. That’s why I haven’t dared to tell others about this all these years.”

 “Is your family alright?” asked William.

 “My mother died of an illness three years ago. I have a younger sister who is three years younger than me. Her name is Beira Cabello, Sherika replied.

 “Beira, the Queen of Winter who has the power to raise mountains, carve glens, and fill lochs to the brim. A beautiful name, indeed,” Williamplimented.

 “Beira is good at studying. She just graduated from college and is helping me manage mypany now,” Sherika borated.

 “You have a <bpany of your own, Miss Cabello?” William asked in surprise.

 Sherika replied sheepishly, “It’s my own clothing brand. Thepany isn’t profiting a lot, sough at me.”

 As she spoke, she suddenly put forth a mangy journal, which was about a bundle thick. ‘Dr. Barrett, this is a journal left by my father and hispanions. It is the most important thing to a ginseng picker.”

 William’s heart skipped a beat. He opened the journal and saw some maps and strange symbols. Clueless, he asked, “What are these symbols?”

 With a smile, Sherika exined, “My father often encountered ginsengs whose prices could be doubled in a few years when he led people to pick ginseng. He usually didn’t pick them. Instead, he carefully hid them. Then, he left a mark so that he could return to pick them after a few years.”

 William was taken aback. “Are you saying that the notes in this journal are all ginseng’s locations?”
