Chapter 232 - 232: 232: The Test of Chaim Tate 1
Then, Ray Walters sent the address and time to Ethan Smith.
The time was set for noon, and the location was the largest local restaurant named No.l Winery.
Noon time.
Ethan Smith tidied up a bit and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Ethan Smith reminded, “Watch the medicine plants in the garden for me, and don’t forget to water them later.”
“I know, I know.” Edward Green waved his hand impatiently.
After that, Ethan Smith drove to No.l Winery. In a not-so-large private room in the winery.
There were three people sitting here.
An old man and two young men.
“Master, do you really think this Ethan Smith is that capable?” a young man frowned and said.
Chaim Tate said solemnly, “I think I’m not mistaken. I know Conrad Schroeder very well. He values his family’s reputation very much. If Ethan Smith is not capable, he would not willingly submit to him.”
“I still think it’s unlikely.” Another young man hummed lightly.
“Master, I’ve heard that Ethan Smith has an unusual relationship with the Taylor family.”
“Moreover, Emily Taylor herself came to Capital City and asked Conrad Schroeder to release someone. I think Conrad Schroeder is mostly afraid of the Taylor family.”
Chaim Tate remained silent.
He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, nodding, “Well, there is indeed such a possibility. Let’s meet first and then decide.”
The two of them did not say anything more and sat there waiting quietly.
A few minutes later.
Ethan Smith entered through the door.
Upon seeing Ethan Smith, the two disciples frowned even more.
Based on his aura, Ethan Smith was only an Inner Strength Master, not even a Grandmaster. How could he possibly defeat Conrad Schroeder, who was a
Grandmaster?
Chaim Tate was also somewhat skeptical.
An Inner Strength Master could never defeat a Grandmaster. Not even an unprecedented genius could do it!
Was Ethan Smith just an empty name then?
“You must be Mr. Chaim Tate, the King of Medicine.” Ethan Smith took the initiative to walk forward and shook hands with Chaim Tate.
Chaim Tate nodded slightly, and after shaking hands, Ethan Smith sat down.
After some pleasantries, Chaim Tate said with some flattery, “Mr. Smith, it’s really amazing that you’ve achieved so much at such a young age.”
Ethan Smith replied, “Mr. Tate is joking. Compared to you, my achievements are not worth mentioning.”
One of the disciples laughed, “Mr. Smith, I have long heard of your extraordinary strength, even defeating Conrad Schroeder. Today, I am really surprised to see you.”
This seemingly complimentary remark was actually filled with doubt.
Another disciple even said bluntly, “I think Conrad Schroeder is just being cautious.”
Ethan Smith frowned slightly, and although he was displeased, he didn’t say much more.
“Mr. Smith, if you don’t mind, would you be willing to have a try with me?” The disciple stood up and spoke provocatively.
Ethan Smith glanced at Chaim Tate and shook his head, “Let’s forget it. I’m here to ask for Mr. Tate’s help today.”
“Hehe.” The disciple laughed and said nothing more.
At this moment, Ethan Smith felt a surge of energy sweeping over him.
Although it was only for a moment, Ethan Smith still caught it.
He subconsciously looked at Chaim Tate and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
This Chaim Tate was not simple! Truly worthy of the title King of Medicine.
“Mr. Tate, I’m here to discuss cooperation with you.” Ethan Smith got straight to the point without saying more.
Chaim Tate took a sip from his wine glass and smiled, “I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Smith wants to discuss?
Ethan Smith was silent for a moment and then said, “You have the title of King of Medicine, Mr. Tate, so you must have top-quality medicines.”
Chaim Tate nodded slightly without being modest, “That’s right, I have more than a dozen medicines that are hundreds of years old.”
Hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gasp!
More than a dozen medicines that were hundreds of years old, Chaim Tate was really wealthy!
Ethan Smith said somewhat fervently, “Mr. Tate, I’d like to buy a few from you. Name your price!”
“Mr. Smith, you underestimate my master. Do you really think my master needs money?” The disciple sneered.
Ethan Smith quickly changed his tone, “Mr. Tate, if possible, I’d like to
exchange items of equal value with you!”
“Items of equal value?” Chaim Tate raised an eyebrow.
He put down his wine glass and said with a slight smile, “Mr. Smith, I hope you don’t mind me asking, what kind of valuable item do you have in your possession?”
Ethan Smith thought for a moment and said, “Pills. Can they be used? No matter what kind of Pill, as long as you ask, I can try to make it.” “Hahahaha!” Chaim Tate burst into laughter when he heard this.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Smith to be an alchemist.” Chaim Tate said with a smirk.
Ethan Smith nodded, “I know a little.”
Chaim Tate’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, “Fine, if you can produce a
Nine Transformation Pill, you can choose any of my medicines!”
“Nine Transformation Pill?” Ethan Smith immediately searched for it in his inherited memories.
Soon, the formula for the Nine Transformation Pill appeared in Ethan Smith’s mind.
“No problem!” Ethan Smith agreed right away.
As long as he had the formula, the Nine Transformation Pill shouldn’t be a problem.
“Alright, it’s settled then!” Chaim Tate nodded.
Ethan Smith happily picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Chaim Tate’s.
After the meal, Ethan Smith said goodbye to Chaim Tate and left the winery.
As soon as Ethan Smith left, Chaim Tate’s face darkened.
“Master, this kid is definitely bluffing.” The disciple snorted coldly.
“That’s right! He refused to accept my challenge. He must be boasting about his abilities!” Another disciple joined in.
Even Chaim Tate snorted coldly.
He glanced at his two disciples and said, “Judging by his aura, he indeed seems to be just a seventh-stage Inner Strength Master, weak and not worth mentioning.”
“And… I deliberately tested him with the Nine Transformation Pill, and he actually agreed to it.” Chaim Tate said with narrowed eyes.
“You should know that even in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, there are very few people who can concoct the Nine Transformation Pill! Clearly, he is just boasting!”
The other two disciples nodded in agreement.
Besides the difficulties in concocting the Nine Transformation Pill, the requirements for the ingredients were very demanding.
Ethan Smith agreed so decisively that it inevitably made Chaim Tate suspicious.
“Master, it seems that the King of Chuzzle is nothing but an empty name. We will have to find someone else to cooperate with.” The disciple said in a deep voice.
Chaim Tate nodded slightly and sighed slowly, “Fortunately, I didn’t tell Ethan Smith about the Divine Medicine’s appearance….”
