LOGINRoman sighed deeply. "That's exactly right. But Mr. Gallagher didn't just leave behind his legendary techniques for Mount Lourneau; he also wrote a complete study on the body's meridian system. As long as we use Mount Lourneau's secret method alongside this unique technique, your meridians have at least a 50% chance of reconnecting."Valerie stiffened. "50%? So the odds of success and failure are exactly the same? And what happens if it fails?"Roman shook his head. "Failure isn't an option. If it fails, Mr. Lloyd will certainly die!"Valerie exploded. "Then we don't need the second method at all. Andrew just needs to go into the Harmony Cavern and look for a way to restart his energy core. Andrew can just go to Harmony Cavern and look for an opportunity to stimulate his energy core's vitality!"Roman gave a helpless smile. "Ms. Reyes, you're misunderstanding something. The Harmony Cavern is no less dangerous than reconnecting the meridians. Only elders are allowed in because ordin
Andrew chose to stay. As long as there was any chance left, he would try it. And if he truly found the slightest path forward, then he would not hesitate. Roman would lose his head on the spot. He could not care less that Roman was a respectable elder from Mount Lourneau.After surviving such a brutal battle, Andrew's mindset had undergone a complete transformation. With the situation in Holtrien so chaotic, the only way to clear obstacles was through force. He still had no idea what was happening with Reginald, but none of that mattered, because as long as he restored his energy core, he wouldn't have to care about the feelings of those against him.Ruthless action was the fastest and safest way to regain control.Under Roman's arrangement, three Mount Lourneau elders and seven apprentices came forward.First, they gave Andrew a complete energy transfer. In other words, they channeled their internal energy into Andrew's body.After all that effort, it had absolutely no effect.O
Roman watched Andrew and Valerie's retreating figures and suddenly said, "Perhaps there's one option you could try. But honestly, I don't know if it will work. Moreover, it comes with great risk. If you're not careful, it could be fatal. Mr. Lloyd, I wonder if you'd dare take such a risk?"He added, "If it's too dangerous, then forget I mentioned it."To Roman's surprise, Andrew remained determined to leave. He looked completely unwilling to stay at Mount Lourneau any longer.A flash of darkness appeared in Roman's eyes. If he let Andrew and Valerie leave Mount Lourneau smoothly, his plan to kill Andrew would fall through. Once they left Mount Lourneau, no one knew what variables might appear, and it would become nearly impossible for him to act on Guillermo's orders.Seeing that Andrew and Valerie were really about to leave, Roman quickly called out again, "Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Reyes, please wait! Actually, Mount Lourneau does have a method worth trying, although it requires time, and t
Harlan looked completely trapped, not knowing what to say.Just then, a faint cough came from behind him as Roman finally walked in. He did have an air of mystical wisdom about him, but the black mole at the corner of his mouth and the single long hair sticking out of it ruined his entire image.Instead, he looked magnanimous at first glance but sleazy and venomous underneath."Hello, I am Roman Lawrence. Nice to meet you both," he said with a friendly smile. Valerie replied flatly, "Mr. Lawrence, you finally decided to show yourself. We came here asking for Mount Lourneau's help, so whatever terms you require, just name them."Roman gave a modest laugh. "Ms. Reyes, you're joking. Mount Lourneau is a respected sect in the martial world, and when we help others, we do it out of goodwill, not for profit."Valerie nodded. "That's good to hear. Then please, save Andrew!"Roman's gaze immediately fell on Andrew, and Andrew looked back at him.That calm gaze inexplicably made Roman'
Night descended, and the moonlight gleamed brilliantly."Mr. Lawrence, the two of them have gone to bed," Harlan reported respectfully with a bow.Beside the lamp, Roman sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes still closed. "Alright. Go get some rest."Harlan looked up, hesitating several times before finally asking, "Mr. Lawrence, why do you want me to monitor those two? The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince is indeed seriously injured! I believe that no matter what, we should at least help stabilize his condition first. Chetvine's Lloyd family is a prestigious noble house, and the Dragon Prince once did Mount Lourneau a favor. Omari even served in his squad."Roman's eyes suddenly snapped open as he scolded, "Shut up, you fool! Do I need you to tell me what to do?"Harlan broke out in a cold sweat and immediately dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lawrence! I meant no disrespect."In major martial arts sects, such as Mount Lourneau, the hierarchy between elders and apprentic
Valerie said, "I don't want to stay alone, and besides, I don't like this crappy place. I'll stay with you to protect you."Andrew laughed. "This is Mount Lourneau. There's no danger here, so there's no need for protection."Valerie frowned. "Andrew, don't you think there's something strange about Mr. Lawrence? Since he agreed to meet us, why insist on tomorrow? If he didn't want to, he could've just turned us down outright. And Mr. Johnston suddenly went into complete seclusion, too. I'm worried that…"Andrew said calmly, "You're worried they might turn against me, right?"Valerie's face darkened as she nodded.Andrew pulled out the Elixir of Immortality, his eyes cold. "Don't worry, I always have a trump card! If Guillermo's reach really is that long, stretching even into Mount Lourneau, then I don't mind going another round with him."Valerie asked curiously, "What's that in your hand? Some kind of pill?"Andrew did not hide it and smiled. "That's right, a pill. A tenth-grade
