This was the day the medicinal pool would be activated, so every disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect was present
and dressed in their finest attire.
In the mountains southwest of the Emerald Cauldron Sect, waves of vibrant spiritual energy surged toward the sky,
creating a captivating spectacle. The air surrounding the sect became saturated with concentrated spiritual energy.
permeating the atmosphere with a sense of profound vitality.
Hosen was dressed in a full set of formal attire as he stood atop a high tower with two elders next to him. With
eager eyes, the disciples of the Emerald Cauldron Sect gazed upon the activated medicinal pool, for it was an
exceedingly rare and coveted opportunity for them to step foot into it.
Ebenez’s gaze swept across the crowd, and as he spotted Jared among the disciples, a slight furrow appeared on
his brow, but he was quick to ease up on his frown. When his gaze fell upon Viola, however, Ebenez couldn’t help

Although Viola had concealed her identity with a disguise that changed her appearance completely, it was still
difficult to conceal her aura and some of her unique physical characteristics. Having noticed someone staring at
her, Viola moved her body slightly and hid herself behind Jared
“You’ve been quite busy with recruiting disciples lately, Ghaylen! One of them seems strangely familiar to me,”
Ebenez addressed Ghaylen.
Ghaylen knew who he was referring to, but he chose to ignore Ebenez and remained silent. Seeing as the man
refused to answer his question, Ebenez had no choice but to drop the topic.
“Have you both selected your candidates? We need a total of thirteen individuals to enter the medicinal pool. With
Bilius’ demise, Ebenez is entitled to choose four candidates, and Ghaylen is allowed three candidates. Are both of
you in agreement with this arrangement?” Hosen asked.
“I’m fine with it!” Ebenez replied with a nod. Ghaylen nodded as well. “Same here.” I wouldn’t be able to change
anything even if I wasn’t fine with it, so it makes no difference anyway!
“In that case, please have your candidates step forward. They will be allowed into the medicinal pool once they
pass the test,” Hosen continued. The chosen disciples then stepped forward. Ghaylen had elected Jared, Viola, and
Zebediah.
Most of the people there were confused when they saw Ghaylen grant two of the three opportunities to his new
disciples. As Hosen’s gaze scanned Jared and the other two disciples, it instinctively lingered on Viola.
Ghaylen’s heart tightened with anxiety as he noticed Hosen’s gaze briefly resting upon Viola. Things are going to
get really problematic if Viola’s identity gets exposed!
Thankfully, Hosen’s attention shifted away from Viola, and he turned to Ghaylen with a questioning expression.
“Ghaylen, why did you bestow such a significant opportunity upon two new disciples? Won’t this decision upset the
senior disciples?” “I appreciate your concern, Hosen, but my other disciples are not upset at all,” Ghaylen replied
calmly.

Hosen simply shot Ghaylen a glance without saying anything further. He then waved his hand and told the disciples,
“You are now allowed to enter the medicinal pool, but if you feel unwell or believe you can’t handle the test,
consider forfeiting immediately. Once you step into the pool, there’s no turning back. You’ll be held accountable for
any injuries or casualties resulting from your entry without meeting the requirements.”
Of course, no disciple would willingly withdraw from such a rare opportunity. To enter the medicinal pool was
something every disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect dreamed of doing, so they would rather die in there than back
away.
While scanning Hosen’s disciples, who were standing before him, Jared was shocked to realize that Sigurd was not
among them.
Huh… Maybe Hosen got mad at Sigurd for bringing me into Emerald Cauldron Sect and disqualified him….
