A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 100 Taking the Insect Out

William shook his head and sighed. “Your community of sorcerers is really in such decline that they need to rely on embedment so that Divinus can undergo metamorphosis.”

Rayna was startled. “What did you say?”

William looked at her and asked, “Rayna, do you trust me?”

Rayna nodded. “Although we only shared the same table for a month, I know you’re trustworthy and dependable.”

“Good!” William replied. “I can help you take out the insect, but I’ll need your cooperation.”

To his surprise, Rayna shook her head. “I can’t. Divinus is exceedingly important for our community and it might die if you take it our.”

William rolled his eyes. “Can you let me finish first? What I meant is that I’ll help it undergo its metamorphosis without letting the process cause any harm to you. It’s a win–win situation.”

“Help it undergo its metamorphosis?” Rayna repeated in shock.

William nodded. “Your clan has to rely on inserting the insect into a person because they can’t provide the nourishment the insect needs for its metamorphosis. As long as there is enough nourishment, the insect will be able to undergo metamorphosis anywhere. It doesn’t need to be embedded into anyone.”

Rayna’s eyes widened comically. “Are you serious?”

“Of course,” William replied. “It just so happens that I have an incredibly hardy insect on my hands. I think it can provide Divinus with all the nourishment needed for the

process.”

He checked the date before continuing, “Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll give you a call once I’ve made all the arrangements.

Rayna’s hands tightened. “But.. I’m afraid my father won’t let you do that”

William was taken aback. “Your father’s nearby?”

Rayna nodded. “My final request to him was to allow me to attend the graduation dinner my classmates organized. Once the dinner’s over, I’ll have to return to the community of sorcerers.”

William frowned. “How’s this? I’ll take you away from here first.”

Rayna immediately shook her head. “That won’t work. I have Divinus in me, which means that no matter where I go, my father will still be able to find me.”

Just then, a middle–aged man dressed in a black suit appeared. He walked right over to Rayna and said. curtly, ‘Rayna, it’s time for us to go.”

Rayna grew pale. Her voice trembled as she asked, “Dad, can you give me one more day? I’ll follow you back tomorrow.”

The middle–aged man’s face darkened. “It’s too dangerous for you to remain
