Yarrow seized the opportunity and quickly shouted, "Madam Tu, I am Yarrow Gu from the Gu family. My uncle is Talmon Gu. He wrote you a letter. I..."
However, before he could finish, Natalia cut him off.
"If you want to meet me, you'll have to pass the test."
"Madam Tu..." Yarrow wanted to continue.
However, he was met with silence.
He felt a little awkward. He smiled at Fade and said, "Fade, I didn't expect that...."
Fade waved his hand and said, "Master Yarrow, it's alright. I'll give it a try."
"But..." Yarrow was a little worried.
Fade smiled and said, "Master Yarrow, don't forget, I am a well-known doctor on Earth. I have some understanding of herbs."
Yarrow nodded and finally instructed, "If you run into danger, immediately retreat or surrender. Natalia will not harm anyone unnecessarily"
Fade nodded and then stepped into the herb field.
The herbs immediately spewed out clouds of mist, enveloping him.
The mist had a dizzying effect.
In order to pass this stage, Russell and the others had taken antidote pills.
However, at this moment, Fade did not take any pills, nor did he use his positive energy to resist the mist.
On the contrary, he deliberately slowed down. He was completely shrouded in poisonous mist. He lowered his head and carefully observed the herbs in the field.
When Yarrow saw this, he was a little anxious. "Fade, what are you doing? You have to get out of there quickly!"
"Although these herbs are not very toxic, the longer you stay in there, the more toxic it becomes."
Fade was confident. He smiled at Yarrow and said, "Master Yarrow, don't worry. I have confidence”
After that, he simply stopped. He ignored the mist that shrouded him and bent down to pick the herbs in the field.
He plucked some leaves from among the herbs, pulled some out from the ground, and some squeezed out the juice.
Finally, after nearly fifteen minutes, he had already gathered about eight kinds of herbs.
Without hesitation, he put these herbs into his mouth, chewed them, and then swallowed them.
"Fade, what the hell are you doing?" Yarrow was surprised when he saw Fade putting the herbs into his mouth.
Fade did not explain and continued on to the next stage.
Just like before, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he bent down and observed the herbs in the field.
Although he was surrounded by toxic mist and powder, they did not seem to have any effect on him at all.
This time, Fade picked up his speed. In less than ten minutes, he put more than ten kinds of herbs into his mouth, chewing and swallowing them.
Finally, he stepped into the area where the Star Illusion Grass was located.
That was no doubt the most difficult part of the test.
Except for Russell, who had passed this stage with the help of the mind- clearing pill, everyone else was affected by it.
As Fade stepped in, his face became serious.
He strode forward. Like before, he bent down and began to observe the herbs on the ground. He kept on trying the herbs.
Then, the door opened and a short, elderly woman in a black robe walked out.
The woman gave him a cold- eyed stare. It seemed that she looked at everyone with a scrutinizing look, making everyone shudder.
"Madam Tu!" Fade greeted.
Yarrow hastily greeted her as well. "Madam Tu!"
Natalia shot a glance at Yarrow and said somewhat angrily, "Talmon seems to have taken advantage of my kindness. How dare he send a useless person over to meet me?"
"Ahem..." Yarrow looked awkward and did not know what to do.
Fade quickly said, "Natalia, Master Yarrow did it for me."
"You don't have to defend him." Natalia waved his hand and then waved to Yarrow. "Since you brought him here, then I'll allow you to come into my house."
"Madam Tu, this herb field..." Yarrow's face turned ashen.
Natalia flicked out a pill. "You're useless!"
With a wry smile, Yarrow caught the pill, swallowed it, and then quickly walked through the field to the front of the house.
"Thank you. Madam Tu." Yarrow cupped his hands.
Natalia spoke impatiently, "Let's not waste any time. Why don't you guys come in and get straight to the point?"
As she said that, she directly turned around and went into the house.
Yarrow was a little embarrassed. He looked at Fade and said, "Fade, she's quite a character. Umm... I'm sure you understand what I'm saying."
"Let's go in, Master Yarrow!" Fade chuckled.
