“Yes.” Matthew nodded.
“Master, this won't do. This is your life-saving pill, and you cannot run out of it. I'll go to the warehouse right away to prepare resources to be sent to Alchemical Sect and ask them to craft more amp pills for you.”
Archer was about to leave, but Matthew grabbed hold of him.
“Archer, don't do that anymore. Luminous Sect has consumed too many resources to keep me alive over the years. As a result, Luminous Sect's disciples have fewer cultivation resources than other sects. Now, Luminous Sect is also weaker compared to our peers. I know you've all been looked down upon and bullied by others when you were out and about. This is all because of my incompetence! My life is destined to be like this, so don't waste any more resources on me. The future of Luminous Sect shall depend on you.” Grasping Archer's hand, Matthew spoke earnestly.
“Master, we don't mind using all the resources on you. Archer and I can search for resources every day. There are still many unexploited resources in Luminous Sect's territories. We can work harder daily, but Luminous Sect can't be without you,” Skyler sobbed while shedding tears.
Tears also brimmed in Archer's eyes, but Matthew still shook his head.
Taking in that scene, Jared asked, “Mr. Campbell, may I ask about your incurable condition?”
“A Demonic Cultivator injured my elixir field many years ago, causing a hint of evil energy to linger in my body that tormented me greatly. All these years, I could only rely on the amp pill produced by Alchemical Sect to suppress the evil energy in my body. However, Alchemical Sect is greedy and has been demanding increasing resources from us. Now, Luminous Sect can hardly bear the cost anymore. Because of this evil energy within me, I could instantly detect you weren't a Demonic Cultivator, as your aura was different from a Demonic Cultivator's,” Matthew explained.
Only after hearing that did Jared gain clarity. No wonder Archer and Skyler hate Demonic Cultivators so much. When they saw I absorbed Yosef's power, they misunderstood I was a Demonic Cultivator, so they regarded me with murderous intent.
“Mr. Campbell, my cultivation technique is somewhat unique, allowing me to absorb others' powers and cultivate with them. Do you mind letting me check if I can help you draw out the evil energy from your body?” Jared asked Matthew.
