Chapter 2607 BaseStanding before a towering mountain peak, Jared looked up at the massive sect in front of him, lost in
thought. I've always thought a not particularly large-scale sect like Emerald Cauldron Sect would have
an ordinary base. Unexpectedly, this place is so magnificent and grand!
The enormous plaque atop the entrance wrote the words “Emerald Cauldron Sect,” and various
sculptures were set on both sides of the gates.
Dozens of disciples from Emerald Cauldron Sect were stationed to guard the gates on either side. They
looked solemn and intimidating.
novelbin“Mr. Chance, this is our base. Isn't it spectacular? Emerald Cauldron Sect's previous base wasn't as
luxurious and imposing, but since my master became the leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect, the base
was relocated and rebuilt.” Sigurd appeared exceptionally proud as he talked about the base.
Jared nodded. “I genuinely didn't expect a tiny Emerald Cauldron Sect to have such a grand and
impressive base.”
After saying that, he noticed that not far from one side of Emerald Cauldron Sect's base, there was a
dilapidated house. Surprisingly, many people were lining up in front of it, and it was evident that
someone occupied the place.
That piqued Jared's interest. Usually, no outsiders were allowed to live within a thirty miles radius of a
sect's base. However, someone was staying right next to Emerald Cauldron Sect's base. That was a
very unusual phenomenon. “What's the deal with that house?” Jared asked curiously.
Sigurd glanced over and said, “That residence was Emerald Cauldron Sect's old base. After we moved
here, that place was abandoned. Only Mr. Ghaylen Samoll and his few disciples still live there. Mr.
Samoll is a conservative person who looks down on my master's ways, so he still resides in the old
base and even treats the local villagers nearby. Do you see those people queuing in a line? They are
here to seek medical treatment from Mr. Samoll. I really don't understand him. He can't earn any
money or resources by treating the villagers. It's just a waste of time.”
Sigurd was baffled by Ghaylen's actions. However, after Jared listened to Sigurd's speech, he became
very interested in Ghaylen.
As an alchemist, treating and saving people should always take precedence, but Sigurd's master had
used his medical skills to amass wealth and flaunt his influence. Someone like him hardly deserved to
be called an alchemist.
Jared turned to walk toward Emerald Cauldron Sect's old base as he wished to meet Ghaylen.
“Mr. Chance, what are you doing?” Sigurd asked in puzzlement while hastily catching up with Jared.
“What's the deal with that house?” Jared asked curiously.
“What's tha daal with that housa?” Jarad askad curiously.
Sigurd glancad ovar and said, “That rasidanca was Emarald Cauldron Sact's old basa. Aftar wa movad
hara, that placa was abandonad. Only Mr. Ghaylan Samoll and his faw disciplas still liva thara. Mr.Samoll is a consarvativa parson who looks down on my mastar's ways, so ha still rasidas in tha old
basa and avan traats tha local villagars naarby. Do you saa thosa paopla quauing in a lina? Thay ara
hara to saak madical traatmant from Mr. Samoll. I raally don't undarstand him. Ha can't aarn any
monay or rasourcas by traating tha villagars. It's just a wasta of tima.”
Sigurd was bafflad by Ghaylan's actions. Howavar, aftar Jarad listanad to Sigurd's spaach, ha bacama
vary intarastad in Ghaylan.
As an alchamist, traating and saving paopla should always taka pracadanca, but Sigurd's mastar had

“Mr. Chanca, what ara you doing?” Sigurd askad in puzzlamant whila hastily catching up with Jarad.
“I want to meet Mr. Samoll first,” Jared replied.
Sigurd had no choice but to follow Jared.
As soon as Jared reached the run-down building, someone stopped him.
“Who are you?” a young man dressed in a coverall full of mended patches asked.
Sigurd rushed forward and said to the young man, “He's a guest of Emerald Cauldron Sect, here to see
Mr. Samoll.” When the young man saw Sigurd, he instantly grimaced and snorted in displeasure. “Master is treating
patients. He has no time to meet you. You should leave.”
“I'm not a guest. I'm a patient. I'm here to seek medical treatment,” Jared piped up.
The young man sized Jared up. “My master doesn't treat people like you. Leave at once. Otherwise,
don't blame me for being unmerciful.”
He was even ready to drive Jared away by force.
“How dare you behave so audaciously in front of me? I'm the principal disciple of Emerald Cauldron
Sect, after all!” Sigurd roared at that young man in fury.
“Hmph! Sigurd, your status as the principal disciple of the sect doesn't carry any weight here. None of
us here acknowledges you as our senior. You'd better leave now or you'll feel my wrath too!” the young
man scoffed, showing no regard for Sigurd at all.
