“Stinky old man, you should know that I’m very rich.”
Connor looked at Jorge in front of him and said coldly, “But I don’t have time to play with you now. Just name a price. As long as I think the price is suitable, I’ll agree to it…”
“How much money can you give me?” Jorge chuckled as he asked Connor.
“Don’t look at me like that. It’s my misfortune to know you. I admit defeat now. Hurry up and say a number!”
Although Connor said so, he knew that Jorge was indeed capable. However, Connor felt that if he continued to fight with the stupid gorilla like this, he did not know how long it would take to learn even a little skill!
At this moment, Connor was obviously a little anxious. He wanted nothing more than to become Jorge’s disciple. This was the only way he could quickly increase his strength.
Jorge turned his head and looked at Connor, then said lightly, “I don’t lack money now…”
“Of course I know you don’t lack money. You’ve been getting a lot of money from Thomas Morgan and me recently, but you’re a greedy person. I know you won’t complain about having too much money…” Connor said casually.
“The thing I don’t like the most is money…”
Jorge looked at Connor and shook his head.
“So you don’t plan to take me as your disciple?” Connor frowned and asked.
“Not really…”
Jorge looked at Connor and smiled, then continued, “Since you’ve put it this way, I will give you a chance. I am currently lacking in some medicinal herbs. Go and help me collect these herbs first, then I’ll consider taking you in as my disciple…”
As Jorge spoke, he took out a piece of paper that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Connor.
When Connor saw the note Jorge took out, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and said, “Hold on, old man. Did you prepare this note long ago? You already knew that I was going to ask you, right?”
Jorge looked at Connor and smiled faintly. He didn’t say anything.
When Connor saw that Jorge didn’t say anything, he opened the note and took a look at its contents.
“A hundred-year-old reishi mushroom, northeastern wild ginseng, fleeceflower root, caterpillar fungus…”
Connor looked at the names of the medicinal herbs on the note, and the expression on his face grew more and more tired.
Although Connor had never seen these herbs with his own eyes, he had more or less heard of them on television or in movies. Furthermore, Connor was not a fool. He felt that since Jorge had asked him to collect these herbs specifically, they were definitely not cheap, or Jorge would’ve gone to get them himself.
“How much are these herbs?”
Connor frowned and asked Jorge.
“I have already lived in seclusion for many years. I am also not very sure how much these medicinal ingredients are worth…” Jorge replied calmly.
“Then where can I go to collect them?” Connor didn’t know much about medicinal herbs. Although he was very rich, he had to have a place to spend money.
But now, Connor did not know where to go to buy these medicinal herbs.
“I remember that there is a small town called Medicine Kings’ Valley in San Antonio. I went there once when I was cultivating. There is a large medicinal herb trading market there, and it will be the Medicine Kings’ Valley’s triennial Flora Festival in a while. By then, there should be more merchants selling medicinal herbs, so you can go to that place to take a look. You might even be able to get all the herbs in one shot…” Jorge said.

After Connor heard Jorge’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He couldn’t help but curse in his heart. “This old geezer has the gall to say that this wasn’t planned beforehand, but he even has a place in mind! Moreover, these medicinal ingredients are definitely not cheap. This old man is very smart. He knows that I don’t know much about medicinal ingredients and does not know how much they’re worth, which is why he asked me specifically to help him gather those. This smelly old man only knows how to take advantage of me…”
Although Connor knew what was going on, he still chose to agree. After all, he felt that the most important thing for him now was to learn martial arts. Even if he had to spend some money, Connor would accept it.
“As long as I help you buy all these herbs, you’ll take me as your disciple, right?” Connor asked Jorge.
At this time, Connor’s thoughts were very simple. He felt that there was no need for him to go to Medicine Kings’ Valley.
After all, Connor had so many people under him. As long as Connor handed this list of herbs to Thomas Morgan and asked him to collect these herbs, it would be fine. Thomas had a lot of connections at his disposal, so it should not be difficult to find these medicinal herbs in a short period of time. It would just cost a little more money.
However, what Connor did not lack the most now was money!
“Go to Medicine Kings’ Valley and gather all these herbs first. Then, ask the locals for a place called Precipice Cave. If I remember correctly, there should be a spiritual herb in the cave. That spiritual herb looks like this…”
After saying this, Jorge took out another piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Connor.
Connor lowered his head and looked at the note Jorge handed over. There was indeed a herb drawn on it!
He was stunned for a moment and asked Jorge with a puzzled expression, “What kind of herb is this?”
“You do not need to care about what kind of herb this is. It is fine as long as you are able to find it…” Jorge replied lightly.
“No, old man, what do you want me to do? Collecting herbs and going to Precipice Cave, are you kidding me?” Connor shouted at Jorge helplessly.
“Do you think I’m in the mood to joke with you?” Jorge turned to look at Connor and continued, “As long as you can help me find all these medicinal ingredients, I can consider taking you in as my disciple…”
“Really?”
When Connor heard Jorge’s words, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
“Really!”
Jorge nodded lightly.
“Alright, let’s make a deal. As long as I can help you find these medicinal herbs, you’ll take me in as your disciple, right?”
Connor shouted excitedly.
“Yes, as long as you are able to find these medicinal ingredients, I will take you in as my disciple. However, let me remind you that collecting medicinal ingredients is a small matter. After all, medicinal ingredients can be bought with money. However, Precipice Cave might be a little dangerous for you. You must be mentally prepared…” Jorge warned.
“I knew that you didn’t have good intentions, you old fart. If there was no danger, you would not have let me go…” Connor shouted at Jorge.
“Then are you going or not?” Jorge asked lightly.
