Althea went back to her room. She sat down on her bed and softly stroked the black spatial bracelet on her wrist which Ethaan gave her. It was more exquisite than the one she had in the past.
From her spatial bracelet, Althea took out the four spatial bracelets that belong to Grandmaster Lothian, Lady Tsiru, Lord Sovyo, and Guffian. Soon, she started sorting out the goods inside the storage bracelet. There were precious pills, manuals, weapons, beast cores, top-grade herbs, banknotes, and many other valuable items. Althea's eyes beamed when she saw saint grade and heaven grade pills inside Grandmaster Lothian's storage bracelet. It's not like she had never seen Saint and Heaven Grade pills but right now with her strength, the highest grade she could refine is Earth Grade pill that also with the help of the flame dragon energy. So being able to get her hands on saint and heaven-grade pills here in the southern region is like charcoal during a stormy winter night.
Apart from Saint and Heaven Grade pills, there were also pills of different grades. But the one that caught Althea's interest more is the rare herbs. Winter frost herb, ice mint leaves, amethyst thorn herbs, Moon anise, seven petals flower herb, etc. so many precious herbs were stored inside the storage bracelet. Grandmaster Lothian as the peak divine level Alchemist from the Alchemist Guild surely was a rich guy. Not counting the banknotes, the pills and herbs alone are valued at hundred million prices.
From Guffian and Lady Tsiru's storage, Althea harvested quite an amount of pills, banknotes, herbs, weapons, and some manuals relating to beast taming. Althea happily stored the manuals inside her storage. What she needed the most now is manuals relating to Beast Taming since she just started walking down the path of the Beast Tamers.
Althea examined the Beast cores from Lord Sovyo's storage. There were mostly high and senior-level beast cores and a few monarch-level beast cores. Beast cores are extremely useful in raising the cultivation. Cores of some rare beast with noble bloodline are sought after by many experts. It can also be auctioned off at sky-high prices. Althea curled her lips upwards when she saw a beast core that was emitting blue light. From one glance Althea could tell that the beast core belongs to a monarch-level beast. But what made Althea curled her lips is not because it belongs to a monarch-level beast but the core belongs to a rare Blue blood Fox. Blue Blood Fox is said to be a ruler among the Foxes. Its bloodline is nobler than any other ordinary fox. Practitioners who are stuck at the High level can easily breakthrough to the senior level with the help of the core of Blue Blood Fox.
After sorting out the cores, Althea shifted her attention towards the white jade box. The jade box was emitting a cold aura. Althea picked up the jade box and her warm hand immediately turned cold. Althea raised her brows and couldn't help but think that something valuable must be stored inside the jade box.
Althea slowly opened the jade box and as soon as she saw what's inside the box, she couldn't help but get excited. Her heart started beating fast because of excitement.
It was the thousand-year-old Nine Turns Blue Vine!
Althea had told Northem that the remedy for his Waning Moon Physique is Nine Turns Blue Vine. To clean the impurities and open the clogged meridians, this plant is very important for Northem. At first, Althea planned to enter the Hall of Mage and snuck out the Nine Turns Blue Vine from the Medicine Hall of the Hall of Mage but that would take a few years. But now, someone already delivered the Nine Turns Blue Vine directly into her hands. Although Althea didn't understand why Lord Sovyo would carry such a precious and rare herb on him, she threw that question at the back of her head for now.
After arranging everything, Althea hugged the jade box close to her bosom and went out of her room happily. She summoned Northem who was in the shadows guarding the courtyard.
"Young Miss, what can I do for you?", Northem lightly bowed and asked. Since Althea had refrained from kneeling, Northem could only bow to show his respect.
Althea was grinning ear to ear, "Let's go into your bedroom"
"my..bedroom!", Northem asked with a baffled expression. 'What is going on with Young Miss?', Northem thought looking at Althea who was looking at him excitedly with big round eyes that look like an embedded gem, Northem could help but get confused.
Ethaan who happened to come out from his room looked at Althea and smiled warmly. Right now Althea was like a little white rabbit untainted by the world. Hugging a jade box with a grin on her face exposing her sparkly white teeth and gem-like eyes, Althea looked no different than an ordinary teenage girl, where was the domineering aura of the Sovereign!
Althea herself didn't seem to notice the peculiar look Northem and Ethaan were giving her. "what are you thinking? I have got something for you. Hurry", without waiting for Northem to respond, Althea grabbed his hand started dragging him towards the room.
Looking at Althea's hand that was grabbing Northem's, Ethaan narrowed his eyes. He doesn't know why but he felt stuffy inside his heart. At this moment, Althea didn't know that due to her actions, Ethaan drank a mouthful of vinegar*.
"Here, look what I have got for you?", Althea handed the jade box to the still confused Northem.
Northem accepted the jade box and slowly opened the box, inside the box lay a blue-colored vine plant. "Young Miss, what is this?"
"Nine Turns Blue Vine", Althea said word by word with crescent eyes.
"What? This is the rare thousand-year-old Nine Turns Blue Vine!", Northem shouted out.
"Yes, this plant is the remedy for your Waning Moon Physique ", Althea said.
Northem was surprised. It's only been a month since his Young Miss told him that this Plant can help him clean his impurities and unclogged his meridians. Although he trusted Althea, he didn't expect her to bring out such a rare plant so soon that too for him. He was touched.
Northem didn't want to accept it. He knows that it's a very rare plant but he also knows Althea very well so he didn't reject and simply kneeled. "Young Miss, I will make sure to pay back the favor. From today onwards, my life is yours to take"
"Well, that you should say after surviving", Althea said giving a meaningful glance at Northem.
