The thin old man stared at Lachlan with a cold and questioning gaze.
"Malevolent?"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan furrowed his brow. "Sir, as you said yourself, we have never met before. What malevolent karma could there be?"
Despite asking this question, a hint of doubt flashed in Lachlan's eyes.
As someone who possessed the Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique, he faintly felt that he and Darius were somehow connected by fate.
But he couldn't figure out why.
Did it mean that things wouldn't go well for him on this trip?
Or worse yet, would he end up making enemies with Darius or Nemesis Pavilion?
However, since he had already come all this way to fight for his daughter's future, Lachlan wasn't about to give up just because of some unfounded premonition.
So he smiled innocently and tried to keep his tone light.
Lachlan looked at the thin old man in front of him and felt that the other party was unfathomable, with strength that he couldn't see through at all. In other words, the realm of the person in front of him was at least superior to a Golden Core expert. This made Lachlan have to be cautious.
"Well, maybe it's just my imagination!" Lachlan said uncertainly.
Darius neither confirmed nor denied it. He shook his head and didn't dwell on the causal relationship between him and Lachlan. Because this kind of connection seemed... not strong. And Darius didn't think that this young man in front of him could threaten himself or Nemesis Pavilion.
Thinking this way, he changed his tone and stared sharply at Lachlan, asking, "Kid, you want to see my master?"
"Yes! I came to Nemesis Pavilion this time to meet him. My daughter has been cursed, and I want to seek the help of him," Lachlan said directly without beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Darius nodded without much expression or emotional fluctuations and said, "My master has long withdrawn from worldly affairs, but it's not impossible for you to meet him if... you can pass my test."
Lachlan's face turned serious. "What test, Senior, please tell me!"
Darius faintly responded with an "Hmm" and took out a piece of paper from his body, placing it on the table.
"As long as you can complete this prescription, you can meet my master!" he said.
Lachlan made a sound of surprise and stepped forward to pick up the paper, focusing his gaze on it.
It was a prescription called "Life-Prolonging Pill," which could delay the life of a dying person for another seven days. The prescription already listed precious medicinal materials such as hundred-year ginseng, top-grade Rehmannia, Angelica, white Atractylodes, and Poria, which could replenish vitality in the human body.
At this moment, Darius observed Lachlan and spoke with a hint of indifference, "Kid, this prescription is missing a crucial ingredient, which can be said to be the most critical finishing touch. If you can write down this ingredient, you can meet my master and even seek his help."
Lachlan looked at the prescription, his expression appearing somewhat peculiar.
Darius noticed this and chuckled a few times, shaking his head. "Kid, countless people have wanted to meet my master, but so far, no one has been able to pass this test. Judging by your appearance, you must be clueless as well. Forget it, go back! Unless someone can complete this prescription, my master won't show up."
