Chapter 205 Completing the Quest
Long Ming looked at the girl as he activated his Heavenly Revelation Eyes and Temporal Fate Simulation Technique. Focusing on the strange poison, Long Ming gazed at the distant past of that thing. After all, to cure a problem, you need to know the root cause. And for knowing the root cause, there is no better technique than the Temporal Fate Simulation Technique.
Suddenly, the surroundings of Long Ming shifted as he saw the pair of siblings in a different place.
' It looks like they are from a mid grade merchant family. However, their enemies killed their family, making these two flee from their original place.'
' While escaping, this young man got a strange box from somewhere. And, everything started the moment this little girl opened the box, and a strange gas entered her body.'
However, Long Ming noticed something else from the box. There was a strange broken fragment and a scroll.
' Holy shit! No wonder this person's luck is so high!' Long Ming clicked his tongue as he looked at the young man once again. He felt like the young man was perfect for the criteria for a tragic protagonist, or a villain.
After all, unless someone cures this young girl, she will definitely die in a month. And if she dies, Long Ming could bet that this young man would turn into a vicious demonic cultivator.
Another reason behind his thinking was that the poison in the girl's body had rich demonic energy. And the scroll he saw in the past of the girl gave off a strange, chilly vibe too.
" Let's talk about your sister's condition." Long Ming looked at the young man and spoke. " My suspicion is correct, right? You probably gotten your hands on some sort of ancient yet demonic relic, which inflicted such a poison on this girl, right?"
" This... This is true." The young man fell on his knees as he looked at Long Ming. " Young Noble, Please help my sister. She is the only person in my family remaining. If something happens to her, I can't live."
" Hmm, I have a poison core of a Harmonization Realm demon. I think it can cure her." Long Ming closed his paper fan with a snap as a smirk appeared on his face. " But I wonder if this brother can pay for it? After all, a poison core of a Harmonization Realm Beast, I hope you can guess the price, right?"
" This... I..."
The young man stammered as Long Ming's words were like a bucket of icy water pouring down on his head. Even the cheapest and low grade poison core will cost 500,000 Mid grade spirit stones minimum. " Brother... We don't have...that much money..." The sister looked at the brother with half closed eyes. " No, Don't worry about money, Alright?" The young man held his sister as he forced a smile. " I will get you cured, alright?"
" Young Master, Please save my sister, and I will be your slave for eternity." The young man knelt before Long Ming. " Well, I don't need such a slave." Long Ming shook his head. " However, I would like to see the treasure that made your sister like this."
" This... Young Noble..."
Long Ming snorted lightly. " I don't think I see any sincerity in your eyes. Very well, We shall conclude our talks here."
" No! Wait..." The young man gritted his teeth as he took out a box from his spatial ring. " This is the treasure I got and which caused harm to Lin'er."
Long Ming opened the chest and looked at the scroll inside. But he didn't find the strange fragment.
Taking out the scroll, Long Ming unfurled it.
' Crimson Blood Demonic Art?' Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw the name of the technique. Using his heavenly comprehension and learning ability, he uploaded the entire technique into his brain instantly.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened as he laughed out aloud.
" Hahaha, I see, I see." Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at the girl lying on the ground.
" Little Sister, You are truly lucky and unlucky." Long Ming chuckled as he caressed her forehead.
" Wh-What does that mean?" The young man's face showed some alarm as he looked at Long Ming's expression.
" You had the cure of your sister all along. Yet you didn't notice that." Long Ming shook his head. " If your sister cultivates this Crimson Blood Demonic Art, not only she will be cured, but this poison will act like an elixir for her." n/-o--v--e--l--b/-1(/n
" Wh-What?"
Both siblings became stunned when they heard Long Ming's words. " Don't worry, You can keep this technique. This is a Royal grade qi cultivation technique. However, it also contains the method of cultivating a Noble Grade physique called Blood Fire Body."
" So, I have a proposal for you." Long Ming looked at him. " How about I treat your sister now and you take her and make her cultivate this technique?"
" This...Is this possible?" The young man was shocked. " You mean...
She will be cured if she cultivates this technique?"
" Just read this technique, duh." Long Ming shrugged. " But still, You need to give me something more as compensation, alright?"
" I will! I will definitely do!" The young man nodded hurriedly. Long Ming used the poison core and refined it with his Azure Flames. After that, he guided the refined qi in the girl's body, alleviating her condition.
" Mm...It's feeling so warm...it's filling me up."
" Well?"
Long Ming's face turned a bit odd when he heard those words. " Ahem, anyway. This will keep the condition of this sister suppressed till she reaches the second layer of Crimson Blood Demonic Arts."
" Brother... I am... I am really feeling good now!" The girl slowly stood up as she looked at her brother.
" Lin'er, are you telling the truth?"
" Mhm."
The young man knelt before Long Ming. " Young Noble! You are truly like an incarnation of deity for us! I shall never forget this favor of yours!"
" Although I don't have any valuables, I got this strange treasure from a place. Please, accept it."
Long Ming's eyes flashed, but he kept his excitement under control. It was the same piece that he saw in the Temporal Fate Simulation Technique.
In fact, he felt this fragment was more precious than the Royal Grade technique and the dark poison miasma.
" Brother Long! Brother Long!"
"Hum? What happened?"
Long Ming sent Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin with the hundred thousand year old medicinal herb to complete one of those high grade requests. " What happened? You look so anxious?" Long Ming frowned. " Did something bad happen?"
" Bad? It's a very big thing!" Ming Yuexin became excited as she held Long Ming's arms
" It was a request from a True Elder of Royal Alchemy Garden, A King rank Alchemist. He was so overjoyed when he saw the medicinal herbs."
" Now, he wishes to meet you and reward you personally, Brother Long."
" Ah, Such an unexpected piece of luck." Long Ming chuckled as he looked at the sky. Could it be, that changing the fate of the siblings brought him good fortune?
After all, if Long Ming hadn't intervened, the young girl would have died from the corrosion of the poison miasma. The young man would have lost his mind and cultivated the Crimson Blood Demonic Arts and turned into an evil cultivator.
But now, even if he practiced it, he wouldn't fall to the evil path so easily, thanks to his sister.
" Well, Let's go and see what kind of reward he wants to give to us."
