“Kylan Taylor, you’re despicable!” Emily Taylor stared fiercely at Kylan Taylor.

Kylan Taylor sneered, “As long as you behave and do as you’re told, not only can I let him live, but I can also give him a great opportunity!”

At this point, Kylan Taylor paused and whispered in Emily Taylor’s ear, “Don’t you want to save your grandfather? As long as you obediently do as you’re told and marry Dexter Blair, I’ll let them live out their lives in peace.”

“You think I would still believe you?” Emily Taylor sneered.

Upon hearing this, Kylan Taylor’s face became completely cold.

“Don’t think I’m begging you! I’m offering you an opportunity!” Kylan Taylor said coldly.

“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Having said this, Kylan Taylor turned around and walked out.

Emily Taylor’s face turned extremely pale, and she desperately wanted to know the situation outside, but under Kylan Taylor’s control, there was no way to do so.

“Could you help me, please? Can you send a message to Ethan Smith for me?” In desperation, Emily Taylor could only seek help from the Taylor family’s servants.

However, the servants were tight-lipped, and hurriedly waved their hands, “Miss Taylor, please don’t put me in a difficult position. If Mr. Taylor finds out, we’re done for…”

Ever since Kylan Taylor killed the last servant who had helped Emily, no one dared to help her anymore.

Even Emily Taylor’s own father, Hugh Taylor, didn’t dare to come to see her.

The long-term oppression weighed heavily on Emily Taylor, making her body gradually weaker.

Her face grew even paler, and she coughed from time to time.

Kylan Taylor brought a doctor to check on Emily Taylor, but nothing could be diagnosed.

Finally, the doctor concluded that Emily Taylor had a heart disease, and it was incurable.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this time, Ethan Smith hardly ever left the Elder’s residence.

He stuffed one Vitality Enhancing Pill after another into his mouth every day.

The excessive amount of qi made Ethan Smith’s body difficult to bear.

His entire dantian seemed like it was about to explode.

“Mr. Smith, if it’s too much for you… Just take a break.” Edward Green couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

However, Ethan Smith waved his hand and said, “I don’t have so much time to waste.”

“But… Your body won’t be able to handle it at this rate.” Edward Green sighed.

As Edward Green said, Ethan Smith, enveloped by excessive qi, looked somewhat weak, as if his physical energy had been overdrawn.

But the key point was that Ethan Smith’s dantian was expanded again and again, nearly exploding several times.

But even so, Ethan Smith showed no sign of stopping.

He did his best to control the qi, slowly circulating it within his body.

“Puff!”

At that moment, Ethan Smith’s body could no longer withstand the pressure.

He spat out a mouthful of blood. When he looked at his internal state, he could even see the cracks external to his dantian and the bloodstains.

“Mr. Smith!” Edward Green quickly ran over and helped Ethan Smith up.

Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered, “It seems I really need to rest for a while…”

Now, Ethan Smith had reached the Sixth Layer of the Monastic Stage.

As long as he successfully broke through the Monastic Stage within half a year, Ethan Smith was confident that he could make his way to the Capital City.

But the further the cultivation process went, the more difficult it became, and the more qi required. This was the reason why Ethan Smith couldn’t afford to waste any time.

With Edward Green’s help, Ethan Smith returned to his room.

“The Sixth Layer of the Monastic Stage, I wonder how strong I actually am.” Ethan Smith clenched his fist and muttered softly.

However, there were no suitable sparring partners in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

Within the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, there were either top-tier grandmasters like the Eight Law Enforcement Elders and guardians, who were too strong for Ethan Smith to match, or others who were no match for him.

“This is really troubling.” Ethan Smith mumbled to himself.

At that moment, Ethan Smith suddenly thought of someone.

That person was Mr. Snyder sent by the Taylor family!

Although he was also at the Peak Form of the Grandmaster tier, he was still somewhat weaker compared to the Law Enforcement Elders.

He might be the best person to practice with!”Edward Green, has Mr. Snyder left?” Ethan Smith quickly looked at Edward Green and asked.

Edward Green shook his head and said, “Mr. Snyder has been hanging around the Divine Alchemist Pavilion lately.”

“Good.” Ethan Smith nodded his head.

Since that was the case, it seemed like a good idea to find Mr. Snyder and practice a bit.

Of course, Ethan’s dantian had been injured and required some time to recuperate, so he didn’t rush to leave the house.

“Mr. Smith, it’s best to discuss this matter with the Pavilion Master. What if she doesn’t agree?” said Edward Green.

Ethan Smith nodded his head.

Everyone knew that the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion had taken good care of Ethan. Even if it was out of respect, he should report to her.

So, Ethan Smith left the Elder’s residence and headed towards the Pavilion Master Building.

“Master Smith, you’re out?!” On the way, someone saw Ethan and greeted him enthusiastically.

Ethan Smith politely replied, “Having a few days of rest, my body can’t take anymore.”

“Master Smith, we’ve heard your story, we really admire you!” Someone gave Ethan a thumbs up.

This made Ethan a bit embarrassed. After responding politely one by one, he quickly walked towards the Pavilion Master Building.

Soon, Ethan Smith arrived at the foot of the Pavilion Master Building.

The Pavilion Master seemed to have foreseen Ethan’s return, so as soon as he appeared, the attendant above shouted, “Master Smith, please come up.”

Ethan Smith leaped up with one jump and arrived on the Pavilion Master Building.

The Pavilion Master was sitting on a wicker chair, quietly overlooking most of River Town.

“I pay my respects to the Pavilion Master.” Ethan Smith approached and slightly bowed.

The Pavilion Master spoke indifferently, “Is your seclusion over?”

Ethan Smith scratched his head and said, “I have been a bit overwhelmed recently, so I decided to take a break.”

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan and said indifferently, “Your body can’t bear the excessive amount of qi inside unless…”

At this point, the Pavilion Master paused and didn’t continue speaking.

Ethan Smith was stunned and asked anxiously, “Unless what?”

The Pavilion Master stood up and said, “Unless you have a cultivation skill for meridian circulation.”

“Meridian circulation cultivation skill?” Ethan Smith was overjoyed upon hearing this!

He immediately knelt down on both knees and said, “Lord Pavilion Master, can you teach me this cultivation skill?”

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan with the corner of her eye and said, “Don’t you know how to find it yourself instead of asking others for everything?”

Ethan Smith was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said, “Sorry, I was too eager…”

“But…where should I look for this circulation cultivation skill?”

Ethan Smith scanned his inherited memories but did not find anything about the circulation skill.

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan and said, “Do you really want it?”

Ethan Smith nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes! This circulation cultivation skill is indispensable to me.”

“Alright.” The Pavilion Master stood up.

“You prepare yourself, and I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

“However, you must consider this carefully. Many people over the years have wanted to obtain the circulation cultivation skill but have failed.”

“The only consequence of failure is death.”

Ethan Smith was suddenly stunned.

Death? The price was too heavy…

“What, are you scared?” The Pavilion Master asked indifferently.

Ethan Smith gritted his teeth and said, “For me now, I can only seek wealth through risk, otherwise I have no chance.”

“Well, this is your own choice, and you have to bear the consequences yourself.” The Pavilion Master nodded slightly.

Ethan Smith didn’t say any more. He bowed his hands again, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just at that moment, a crisp “crack” sound suddenly came from Ethan’s neck.

The jade pendant hanging around his neck had shattered.

“This… this…” Ethan Smith’s face turned pale in an instant!

It was because this jade pendant was personally crafted by Ethan himself.

He gave one to Emily Taylor and hung one around his own neck.

If anything happened to Emily, the jade pendant would shatter the first instant!
