Chapter 416
Ryan’s eyes shone as he nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll look for Silvia. Your family has ties
with Ryoln City’s judiciary system. It’s better for you to stay in Ryoln City and help Neil.”
“That’s what I was thinking too. It’s settled, then.”
Over the next few days, one of them headed to Lumont City, while the other stayed in
Ryoln City in hopes to save Neil.
Meanwhile, once they got permission to go to Forrest’s place, Silvia and Winston left
Lumont City.
They only arrived at Medicine Valley two days later.
When he saw them, Forrest frowned. His gaze was stern.
“Why are you two here?”
Silvia went forward. “Mr. Yerger, an elderly person who’s very kind to me has been
poisoned. She’s in a coma, and you’re the only one who has the herbs for the antidote.
That’s why I broke the rules and came to Medicine Valley. I was hoping that you could save
her. I’m willing to bear the punishment for coming here.”
Forrest cast a glance at Abalene and frowned.

After examining Abalene, Forrest’s expression turned incredibly dark. “You gave her the
blood lotus?”
“Yes…”
“Seriously, you… I don’t even know what to say about you anymore. That’s the only blood
lotus in the world, and you gave it to her? You…”
He thought that Silvia might be able to weather through the punishment if she had the
blood lotus, but now…
“Mr. Yerger, saving her is more important right now.”
Forrest sighed and said nothing else. He just made some medicine for Abalene.
After Abalene took the medicine, her face no longer looked ashen. Some color returned to
her cheeks.
Go and pick them from the mountain.”

Winston pulled a long face. Back when he studied medicine, he hated going into the
mountains to gather herbs because he would always run into snakes. He was not scared of
them, but he hated the slimy feeling he got from them. Whenever he thought about it, he
would get goosebumps all over his body.
Silvia’s expression did not change in the slightest. She nodded and said, “Alright.”
“Go and gather the herbs first. You’ll receive your due punishment when you’re done.”
Silvia said nothing else. She just carried a basket on her back and started walking to the

mountains.
Winston rubbed his nose and looked everywhere except at Silvia.
“So, uh, Silvia, I won’t be going into the mountains with you to gather herbs. I’ll be here
taking care of Madam Remus to make sure that her condition doesn’t worsen.”
Forrest immediately kicked his butt.
“I don’t need you here. You’re going into the mountains to gather herbs too. I’ll write a
prescription for you. If you don’t gather the herbs on the list, neither of you are coming
back!” Winston felt like he got swept into this mess and became collateral damage.
He seriously could not run from it…
With the prescription in hand, both of them headed into the mountains.
Forrest stared at them and sighed. He stroked his white beard and said, “Looks like what’s
bound to happen will happen no matter what. In the end, what goes around, comes
around.” By the time Silvia and Winston came back with the herbs, it was already dark
outside. Winston’s hair was a mess, and there were lacerations on his face. His shirt and
pants had a few tears in them, and he looked like he had escaped from disaster.

messy, her clothes were relatively clean still, and she was not injured.
Forrest gave Winston a look and said coolly, “Wash your hands and come eat.”
Then, he looked at Silvia. “As for you, come with me.”

Silvia went into the pharmacy with Forrest. He put a black pill on the table and calmly
said, ” This is the Hundred Poison Pill. It’s made of more than one hundred types of
poisonous substances. Those who take it will feel as if they have stakes being driven into
them whenever midnight strikes. They will suffer greatly. The pain you endure each day
will be greater than the last, and it will continue until the day you die.
“Your other senior couldn’t stand the pain and took his own life. Now, you’ve broken the
rules of Medicine Valley. If you want to save Madam Remus, you must take this pill.”
The rules of Medicine Valley had been passed down for more than one thousand years.
One of the conditions for Forrest to become Medicine Valley’s master was that he had to
follow its rules.
