Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1077: Soul-stabilizing Root?

Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Soul-stabilizing Root?

"However, that old fellow is at most a presence at the ’First level of the Martial Emperor Realm’."

Wyatt Barnes was able to roughly infer this through the memories of his past two lives as a Martial Emperor.

"How so? Is there something amiss?"

Jadiel Gagnon noticed Wyatt Barnes suddenly stop in his tracks, looking somewhat lost and dejected, and paused as well, asking curiously.

"There’s nothing."

Wyatt Barnes snapped back to his senses upon hearing the voice and shook his head.

He still decided not to share his discovery with Jadiel Gagnon.

If Jadiel Gagnon knew that Kartier Gagnon was always accompanied by a ’Martial Emperor powerhouse’, he definitely wouldn’t be in a good mood.

After all, as long as he still wanted to become the next patriarch of the Gagnon Family, he had to remove Kartier Gagnon, this ’stepping stone’.

If he knew that a Martial Emperor was protecting Kartier Gagnon, it might lead him to despair.

Seeing Wyatt come back to his senses, seemingly with a heavy heart, Jadiel Gagnon felt puzzled, but he did not continue to inquire.

He could tell that Wyatt didn’t wish to discuss further.

Therefore, he didn’t plan to force Wyatt to speak.

Shortly thereafter, under the lead of Jadiel Gagnon, Wyatt Barnes entered the grand and towering mansion ahead, proceeding into the central hall of the mansion.

Within the hall, someone was already waiting there.

The patriarch of the Gagnon Family, Randy Gagnon!

"Patriarch."

Upon seeing Randy Gagnon, Wyatt Barnes smiled and greeted him, not bowing deferentially like Jadiel Gagnon had.

Had it been anyone else, Randy Gagnon would certainly have been displeased.

However, since it was Wyatt Barnes, he didn’t just feel okay with it; instead, he responded with a smile, "Elder Barnes."

"Elder Barnes, about the two types of medicinal ingredients you’re looking for, I have gone through some ancient texts and finally found some written records about them... These past two days, I’ve been searching through our Gagnon Family treasure vault and eventually found several medicinal ingredients with characteristics similar to those you described. I just don’t know if they are the ones you’re looking for."

Randy Gagnon got straight to the point.

"Several kinds?"

Upon hearing Randy Gagnon’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Patriarch, could you please bring those medicinal ingredients out for me to identify?"

There was a hint of excitement in Wyatt Barnes’s voice.

In his view,

Since there were several medicinal ingredients for him to choose from, perhaps among them were the items he desired.

"Of course."

Randy Gagnon raised his hand, and took out seven types of medicinal ingredients.

Three of them were root-like, resembling ginseng but with many differences.

The other four types were leaf-like.

"Elder Barnes, tell me... Huh? None of them?"

Randy Gagnon, who was about to hand the seven medicinal ingredients to Wyatt Barnes, just lifted his head to look at Wyatt when he saw disappointment all over Wyatt’s face, along with a sigh.

For a moment, he vaguely realized something.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded with a bitter smile, "None of these match the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass’ that I’m searching for... Nevertheless, I would like to thank the patriarch for going to the trouble for me."

Toward the end, Wyatt Barnes expressed his gratitude.

"Elder Barnes, you’re too polite."

Randy Gagnon said, "My understanding of the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass’ is limited to the rough textual records in ancient texts, so even if I really saw them, I may not have been able to recognize them."

"There are still some medicinal ingredients in our Gagnon Family’s treasure vault that match the characteristics described for these two ’heaven and earth treasures’, but I didn’t bring them all out... How about this, Elder Barnes, you accompany me and take a look yourself?"

Randy Gagnon suggested at the end.

"Then I must thank the patriarch here in advance."

Wyatt Barnes’s reply clearly meant that he agreed to accompany Randy Gagnon to the Gagnon Family treasure vault to check the medicinal ingredients, to see if they had what he was looking for.

Following that, Wyatt Barnes and Randy Gagnon left the mansion together, as for Jadiel Gagnon, he went back to his own residence and did not follow along.

The Gagnon Family’s treasure vault was located to the north of the Gagnon Family mansion, surrounded by several layers of protection, within which were spread ’Inscription formations’, and some of these were even powerful ’killing formations’.

The Gagnon Family’s treasure vault was a ’palace’ enveloped in numerous Inscription formations, with only one entrance, guarded personally by an elderly man.

"Elder Barnes, Patriarch."

The elderly man was somewhat surprised to see Wyatt Barnes and Randy Gagnon appear together but still greeted them warmly.

"Elder Kylen."

Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.

The old man in front of him was no stranger; he was one of the Gagnon Family’s Three Great Protectors, ’Kylen Gagnon’, a powerful Martial Emperor.

"Elder Kylen, I’ll take Elder Barnes inside to find some medicinal ingredients."

Randy Gagnon told Kylen Gagnon.

Kylen Gagnon nodded and extended a gentle force that activated one of the Inscription formations at the entrance of the treasure vault.

Creak!

Simultaneously, the treasure vault’s door swung open on its own.

Wyatt Barnes and Randy Gagnon entered the vault, and a rainbow of colors greeted them, caused by a massive heap of jewels that, when bathed in the light brought by the two men, shone with a dazzling radiance.

Among them, some large pearls continued to sparkle even after the light had faded, illuminating the entire treasure vault and making it all the more eye-catching.

"Night Pearls!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyebrows raised.

"Elder Barnes, if you’re interested in these items, feel free to take them."

It seemed that Wyatt Barnes’s gaze was drawn to a pile of jewels, and Randy Gagnon spoke readily.

For a family like the ’Northumberland Gagnon Family,’ heaps of jewels strewn on the ground were nothing but exceedingly common decorations of negligible value.

"I’m just looking."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, indicating his lack of interest in those things.

"Family Head, where are the medicinal ingredients?"

Scanning his surroundings, Wyatt Barnes did not see the medicinal ingredients and, perplexed, he curiously turned toward Randy Gagnon to ask.

"The medicinal ingredients are inside."

Randy Gagnon led the way as he spoke.

Besides being one of the two strongest clans in Northumberland, the Gagnon Family was also an ’alchemist family.’

To an alchemist, the most precious things were, apart from the ’medicine tripod,’ nothing other than the ’medicinal ingredients’ needed to concoct Pill Medicines.

Thus, for the Gagnon Family, medicinal ingredients were the most precious treasures,

Especially those that were rarer.

On the way from the area storing ’jewels’ to the place where ’medicinal ingredients’ were kept, Wyatt Barnes also passed through several other areas.

These places stored ancient books, pieces of realms, and treasures like spiritual weapons.

"Right here."

As Randy Gagnon triggered the mechanism, a stone door in front rose.

The next moment, Wyatt Barnes caught the rich aroma of herbs wafting from inside, quickly filling his nostrils.

For a moment, he felt as if he were floating, like he had consumed some kind of Spirit Pill.

A short while later, he came back to his senses.

"Elder Barnes, please."

Randy Gagnon invited Wyatt Barnes into a spacious side hall beyond the stone door, where numerous medicinal ingredients were stored and, at a glance, he could not take them all in.

"Spirit Heart Grass, Butterfly Dance Flower, Traceless Stem... So many rare medicinal ingredients!"

After a short while, Wyatt Barnes was attracted by many of the medicinal ingredients in the side hall, and he couldn’t help but exclaim a bit agitatedly.

These medicinal ingredients, while not as urgently desired as ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass’ he currently sought, were also quite uncommon.

Randy Gagnon stood to the side, not surprised by Wyatt Barnes’s agitation.

He still remembered.

The first time he came here, he was older than Elder Barnes is now, but his will was far less than that of Elder Barnes.

Back then, he saw a pile of rare medicinal ingredients and couldn’t move for a long time.

Later, it was the old Family Head who gave him a slap to wake him up.

"Family Head, where are those ingredients you mentioned?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Randy Gagnon to inquire.

With so many medicinal ingredients here, if he truly had to sift through them all, it would at least take a few days, and the thought gave him a headache, prompting him to ask Randy Gagnon.

Now, all he hoped was that Randy Gagnon had put those ingredients aside, allowing him to directly choose.

"I had people categorize those ingredients and place them over there."

Randy Gagnon pointed to a corner of the side hall and said.

At his words, Wyatt Barnes felt relieved and immediately went to that corner of the side hall, pulling back the ’dust cover’ that shrouded a pile of medicinal ingredients.

As the dust cover was lifted, Wyatt Barnes’s view cleared up, revealing several dozen varieties of medicinal ingredients.

Upon a quick glance, Wyatt Barnes saw several ingredients that more or less bore some similarities to the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass’ he was seeking.

"Family Head, you’ve taken quite some trouble."

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes turned to Randy Gagnon, and spoke with sincerity.

The neatly arranged pile of ingredients in front of him had obviously been collected recently, which clearly illustrated Randy Gagnon’s thoughtful efforts, warming Wyatt Barnes’s heart.

Though he was a ’Grade One alchemist,’ he had not helped the Gagnon Family concoct a single Pill Medicine since joining them a few days ago, which meant he had not made any contribution to the family.

Under such circumstances, Wyatt Barnes felt genuinely grateful for Randy Gagnon’s and the Gagnon Family’s contributions to him.

"I hope Elder Barnes finds what you’re looking for."

Randy Gagnon said with a smile.

"Mhm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, turning back to seriously examine the pile of medicinal ingredients before him.

Quickly, his gaze settled, falling upon one particular ingredient and staying there, immovable.

At the same moment, the atmosphere in the side hall became incredibly tense.

Hiss! Hiss!

...

Wyatt Barnes’s increasingly heavy breathing could be heard.

His breaths, growing heavier and heavier, made Randy Gagnon curiously step forward, swiftly moving like a breeze to Wyatt Barnes’s side, following his gaze.

Simultaneously, a root-like medicinal ingredient appeared before him.

All the ’roots’ of this root-like ingredient were curled together, twisted into a bundle, looking extremely odd.

"This... This couldn’t be the ’Soul-stabilizing Root,’ could it?"

Randy Gagnon asked, somewhat astounded.

The root-like medicinal ingredient before him differed greatly from the description of ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ he had seen in ancient texts, which made no mention of the Soul-stabilizing Root’s ’roots’ being curled up together.

"Indeed! This is the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’... And it’s not just an ordinary ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ at that!"
