Fortunately, Devin Lynd was a martial practitioner with strong internal energy, constantly suppressing the cold poison. If an ordinary person had this condition, their kidneys would have failed long ago.
“Mr. Bloomer, can you still cure it? I was attacked by the Ice Demon Spider in the Secret Realm,” Devin Lynd’s old eyes revealed a hint of hope.
He feared hearing a negative answer from Leo’s mouth, as disappointment had been too frequent over the years, and now his heart hung by a thread.
“It’s not a problem, but it requires the assistance of medicinal pills. Go get some paper and a pen,” Leo said indifferently.
“Yes, yes, I’ll go right away.” Joy appeared on Devin Lynd’s old face.
Leo wrote down the names of a dozen medicinal herbs on the paper and handed it to Devin Lynd. “Gather these herbs; I need them to refine the Peiyang Pill to eradicate the cold poison inside you.”
“Fire Bird Elemental Pill, Fire Yang Grass, Crow Gold Flower, Jade Marrow Rock Flower…” Devin Lynd scanned the names of the herbs on the list.
“Mr. Bloomer, the herbs on this list should be available in my family’s medicinal storeroom. It’s just that Fire Bird Elemental Pill…” Devin Lynd looked embarrassed.
“If you can’t find the Fire Bird Elemental Pill, find Elemental Pills from other fire attribute exotic beasts. However, the effect will be much weaker,” Leo said.
“By the way, Devin Lynd, the Lynd family has stood for centuries. Regarding the medicinal storeroom you mentioned, there should be many valuable items inside,” Leo continued.
Subduing the Lynd family presented an opportunity to explore if there were any resources he could use.
“Oh, Mr. Bloomer, I almost forgot without you mentioning it. In my family, there is a treasure trove controlled by my older brother for several decades. Perhaps there might be the Fire Bird Elemental Pill in there,” Devin Lynd said.
“Let’s go. Show me the way.”
“Yes, Mr. Bloomer.”
Devin Lynd walked to Levi Lynd’s corpse and felt around him, finding a finely crafted key.
The Lynd family estate was vast, with lush trees and flowing water. Led by Devin Lynd, the two headed towards the so-called treasure trove.
Along the way, the guards and servants of the estate, seeing Devin Lynd respectfully guiding a young man, showed expressions of surprise.
The central building of the Lynd family estate was a luxurious villa resembling a castle. The two arrived at the back of the villa.
Behind the villa was a lush mountain forest, shaded by greenery, with clear bird songs.
Upon entering this forest, Leo could sense that it was not as quiet and peaceful as it appeared. There were some people secretly guarding the area.

The two continued on their way through this verdant forest. In the midst of the lush surroundings, there was a serene spring, and at the center of the spring was a large artificial mountain.
“Mr. Bloomer, the family’s treasure trove is underneath that artificial mountain in the middle of the spring,” Devin Lynd pointed to the mountain in the center of the spring.
“Lead the way.”
“Yes, Mr. Bloomer.”
He wasn’t afraid of whatever tricks Devin Lynd might play unless Devin Lynd wanted to risk his life.
Under Devin Lynd’s guidance, the two leaped, flying over the fountain and landing at the entrance of the artificial mountain.
Devin Lynd twisted a few times on a protruding rock, and a secret door opened.
Inside the secret door was a stone staircase leading underground.
Descending over twenty meters along the stairs, they reached a wide corridor, spacious enough for three people to walk side by side. Motion sensor lights were installed in the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there was a heavy alloy door.
Devin Lynd inserted the key and opened the door. Inside, the first thing that caught the eye was rows of shelves. Displayed on the shelves were various martial arts techniques and cultivation methods, collected treasures of the Lynd family for centuries.
As a spiritual cultivator, Leo naturally had no interest in these martial arts techniques and cultivation methods. Behind the shelves was a fifty-square-foot smooth stone platform. On the platform, several sword racks and knife racks were placed at the forefront.
Swords and knives with sheaths were laid flat on the racks. Leo casually picked up a sword, drew it from the scabbard; the blade was sharp, emanating a chilling light. Unfortunately, these swords showed no trace of Spiritual Power fluctuation.
Weapons also had levels: artifacts, spiritual weapons, and magical treasures, each subdivided into high, medium, and low grades. Leo currently possessed artifacts and spiritual weapons. The Blue Phantom could be considered an artifact, while the Purple Radiance and the Mystical Sky Bagua-Patterned Alchemical Furnace were spiritual weapons.
Artifacts couldn’t change size, but spiritual weapons were different. Take the Mystical Sky Bagua-Patterned Alchemical Furnace, for example; after injecting Spiritual Power, it could change size at will.
“Mr. Bloomer, feel free to take any sword you fancy,” Devin Lynd respectfully said.
Leo shook his head. Although these swords were rare weapons for cultivators, they were of no use to him.
On the platform behind the sword and knife racks, twenty wooden boxes were neatly arranged, each engraved with peculiar patterns.
“Mr. Bloomer, these boxes contain exotic beast Elemental Pills collected by the Lynd family over the years,” Devin Lynd’s old eyes brightened.
In front of each wooden box were written various exotic beast names, and Devin Lynd quickly scanned through them. Soon, a glint of joy flashed in his eyes. “Mr. Bloomer, there is a Fire Bird Elemental Pill here!”
Saying this, Devin Lynd took the wooden box and opened it, revealing a fiery red Elemental Pill inside.
“Good, indeed a Fire Bird Elemental Pill.”
Devin Lynd’s luck was not bad. Exotic beast Elemental Pills had two main uses: one was for refining elixirs, as the energy within Elemental Pills was too violent for humans to ingest directly. The second use was for feeding mounts, as exotic beasts could increase their cultivation by consuming Elemental Pills from other exotic beasts.
Leo currently had a Thunder Wing Beast’s egg, so Thunder attribute Elemental Pills were useful to him.
“Thunder Wolf Elemental Pill, Three-Tailed Snow Fox Elemental Pill, Pippi Bear Elemental Pill…”
Leo went through them one by one, taking out all the Thunder attribute Elemental Pills, totaling three.
With these three Thunder attribute Elemental Pills, once the Thunder Wolf hatched, Leo could use them to help its rapid growth.
“Devin Lynd, I’ll take these three Elemental Pills, alright?”
A hint of pain flashed on Devin Lynd’s face. Each Elemental Pill was a precious treasure, and the Lynd family had accumulated only around twenty in all these years.
Soon, Devin Lynd scolded himself in his mind for being foolish. His life was in Leo’s hands, so why bother being stingy? Besides, he still needed Mr. Bloomer’s help to treat his hidden ailment, which had tormented him for most of his life.
“The Lynd family’s belongings are Mr. Bloomer’s belongings. Take whatever you want, Mr. Bloomer,” Devin Lynd said, smiling to please.
Leo nodded, reasonably satisfied with Devin Lynd’s performance. Some people were most afraid of misjudging the situation.
Leo continued to explore the treasure trove, his gaze suddenly falling on an iron chest in the corner.
“What’s inside that?” Leo pointed to the iron chest.
“That chest has been there for a long time. I remember there seem to be some stones inside,” Devin Lynd frowned, uncertain. He hadn’t visited the treasure trove in a long while.
