In the afternoon, Matthew and Crystal walked around Woodside.He bought some more medicinal
herbs, ate dinner, and went back to the villa with Crystal.
Back at the villa, Crystal sat next to Matthew.
As she was watching him classify the medicinal herbs, she asked curiously, "Matthew, are these
Seven-Leafed Lotuses really that precious?"
Matthew answered, "It depends on who it is for.If one doesn't know the real use of these lotuses, then
they would be equivalent to an ordinary Thousand- Year Ginseng.However, if one knows the efficacy of
them, then the herb might be extremely useful!"
Crystal was immediately excited.
"Really? Matthew, do you know the efficacy of these lotuses, then?"
Matthew didn't answer, but how could he not know? The Seven-Leafed Lotus was also an extremely
rare medicinal material in the inheritance of the jade pendant—they could be used to refine the
Strength Condensing Pill.
And this pill was of great significance to those who practiced martial arts.
They could condense and thereby further enhance one's internal strength.
To put it simply, a Strength Condensing Pill could enhance one's cultivation to make it more effective.
If Matthew could possess this pill, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds! He had
always been looking for medicinal herbs that could speed up his cultivation in every way possible.
This time, he finally came across one.
Therefore, he was absolutely determined to get this Seven-Leafed Lotus! Crystal approached Matthew
when she saw his expression.
"Matthew, do you really want this lotus? I could discuss it with Mr.Arnold and ask him to bring them
directly to you, if you'd like." Matthew waved his hand.
"Thank you for your kind thoughts, Miss Harrison.But, this time, I'm afraid even Ambrose can't help me
with this.This group of medicinal farmers brought out the lotuses to ask for help in exchange, which
shows that they probably encountered something difficult.It's probably not easy to get them this time."
Crystal was immediately stunned.
"Huh? Then...what should we do?" Matthew smiled.
"Well, I believe that in the end, it will work itself out.We'll see what to do when things come down to it’
With that, Matthew picked up the packed herbs.
"Miss Harrison, you should rest first.We have to get up early tomorrow!" Matthew smiled.
Upon that, Crystal's face was flushed with a hint of crimson.She moved closer to Matthew and said
cheekily, "Am I staying upstairs by myself? But I'm afraid of the dark! So...why don't you come up and
join me?"
Matthew’s expression suddenly dropped—Crystal was really too presumptuous.
In the end, the two rested separately.
Matthew was in the room downstairs, and Crystal went to the one upstairs.
In his room, Matthew sat down cross-legged and practiced the Divine Skill.
Right now, the only thing he was trying to do was to improve his strength.
Not long after he sat down, he heard light footsteps outside his door.
Matthew frowned slightly.
Is Crystal still determined to come down to tease me again? It didn't matter because Matthew had
already locked the door from the inside.
The footsteps stopped at the door.
In the next second, he heard his door handle twist a few times but the door stayed shut.
There were a few more knocks on the door from the outside, but Matthew ignored them.
Just when Matthew thought that Crystal was about to leave, a sound came from the window in his
room.
Matthew turned his head and saw a few small flying insects smashing through the window before flying
in.
His expression suddenly changed—they were venomous bugs! Judging from the strength of the little
flying insects, they must have been cultivated by Lord Voodoo himself.
Lord Voodoo is here? Without sparing a thought, Matthew jumped up immediately, opened up the door,
and rushed out.
He wasn't afraid of the cursed bugs, but it was different for Crystal.
A woman in white stood at the door.
The moment Matthew opened up her door, he pounced on the woman and picked her up by the waist,
ready to take her away.
However, as soon as he picked up the woman, his expression changed.
Because this woman was not Crystal!
