Chapter 629: Snow ginseng
Maria’s eyes widen hearing Yohan’s words, he discarded every single thing that maria said to him earlier, at the end maria took a deep sigh and she looked at yohan in an annoyed manner, she tried very hard to persuade yohan but alas he was very persistent and stubborn regarding his thoughts.
“Tsk I am just wasting my precious time with a kid, how are you supposed to know grown-up stuff when you’re barely twenty,” Maria said and she rolled her eyes in an annoyed manner cursing Yohan for not listening to her.
at the same time yohan was not naive, he knew that there is something going on with maria, she was talking to him in the puzzle, and from the start she somehow wants him to stop cultivating for the earth realm, but he was not aware of why she wants to stop him and what she will gain from stopping him, after all, she recently met him and before this yohan never met her in his entire life.
“I have already decided and no matter what you say I am not going to stop, not until I reach the earth realm, I understand you are worried about me just like others but trust me I am not going to die here,”yohan confronted maria and gave a serious look to her.
“Who told you that I am worried about you, I am just…” Maria exclaimed and she was about to say something but she stopped in midway before completing her sentence.
“Just follow me, like I said I am just wasting my time persuading you, it’s none of my business whether you die or live, I am simply repaying my favor what I owe to lady Evelyn,” maria said to yohan with those words she started walking again in a furious manner.
‘what is her deal, well it’s better this way’yohan thought to himself and he started following her again and sometimes later finally reached the alchemy hall, maria pushed the door and she entered inside the alchemy hall,yohan gulped nervously and he also entered inside the hall.
“What is this place?”Yohan’s eyes widened seeing the alchemy hall from inside, the place was very big and cramp up from the inside, his nose started getting various smells at the same time, all those smells are related to herbs and potion that was situated in racks.
“This is your first time here” Maria glanced at Yohan, seeing him in a daze, hearing Maria yohan came to his senses and nodded his head.
“Yes this is the first time that I am seeing so many things in one place, I didn’t know that a place like this exists inside this mansion,”Yohan responded to maria.
“This mansion is filled with so many mysteries, so don’t get surprised just like this,” Maria said in an indifferent manner, and with those words she started walking into the deeper part of the hall,yohan followed her behind and soon they reached the end of the hall where something different was going on.
“What are you boiling inside that giant pot?”Yohan mumbled as he saw a giant pot at the end of the hall. That giant-looking pot was filled with greenish liquid and it is giving a very different vibe to yohan.
“idiot this is not a pot, this beautiful thing is called a cauldron and I am not boiling anything, I am brewing potion inside this cauldron,” maria said as she looked at yohan in a furious manner and then she shifted her gaze again on the cauldron, a different glint could be seen in her eyes the way she is looking that cauldron,yohan gulped nervously as he dont like maria’s look, a chill went down threw his body and he felt an intense heat coming from that thing, and sometimes later he started feeling hot.
“let’s add this thing and let it boil for a while” maria whispered and she approached the giant cauldron while carrying the box in her hand,yohan has noticed that box earlier when kana gave it to maria but he didn’t ask what is that box containing inside it, right now he couldn’t hold his curiousness and finally asked maria.
“What is inside that box, the way you holding that box, you seem very careful around that box, is there something valuable inside that box, “yohan asked maria.
“Yes, something like that, I can’t be careless otherwise while handling this box, it contains something very frightening that can destroy this entire forest along with the mansion,” Maria responded to him and a moment later she carefully opened the box.
the moment she opened the box in instant the entire hall envelop with frightening energy, Yohan’s facial expression changed drastically as he felt intense bone-chilling cold, he felt like he is standing in a blizzard and his body is exposed to an intense cold breeze, everything changed in instant, a moment ago he was feeling the heat but right now his body is experiencing the cold, but at the same time something is weird is going on there, maria was not affected by that energy, she was looking pretty calm as this is a normal occurrence for her.
“You okay, ” Maria asked, seeing the discomfort on Yohan’s face.
“I am okay but what is that thing inside that box, i feel very cold”yohan responded to maria and asked her in a serious manner.
“fifty thousand old snow ginseng, its treasure among treasures and rare one, you are indeed fortunate that lady Evelyn has one of these treasures in her possession otherwise things might get very complicated for you”maria smirked as she explain to yohan, hearing maria’s words Yohan’s facial expression changed drastically after all he never heard anything related to snow ginseng.
“Are they that rare…”Yohan asked as he looked at the small white root inside the box.
“Yeah these are very extremely rare treasures, if I am not wrong there are only ten of them available inside this kingdom, or maybe nine afterall I am going to use this on you, “Maria said as she looked at yohan.
