Chapter 14 Three Promises
After enduring four hours of agonizing suffering, Qu Lingyun's high fever finally subsided.
Even before she could wake up, Venerable Wuling took the spirit-testing ball and placed it on her palm while she was unconscious.
Bo Yiyan was about to tell him that this potion awakened supernatural abilities, not spiritual roots.
But then a dark color appeared from the transparent spirit-testing sphere, like ink spreading in clear water, gradually diffusing.
Soon, the dark color filled the entire transparent sphere, and the dark color became more and more intense until it became the darkest ink color.
"My God! It's done! Yun'er is actually a one-in-a-million mutated dark spiritual root! No wonder her spiritual root couldn't manifest before!"
Many people's hidden spiritual roots are awakened when they are on the verge of life and death. Before that, they are mistakenly believed to have no spiritual roots and be unable to cultivate! The Martial Spirit Venerable was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
After acquiring spiritual roots, his beloved granddaughter was able to cultivate. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the wounds on her face were able to heal quickly.
Because there are many elixirs that can heal wounds, ordinary people would explode and die if they ate them, but cultivators would be unharmed.
Even if the elixir cannot heal her wounds, she will have another chance to reshape her body when she breaks through to the Spirit Realm. Even severed limbs can be regenerated, let alone repairing the wounds on her face.
After his initial excitement, Venerable Wuling bowed repeatedly to Bo Yiyan, saying, "Mr. Bo is truly a man of great talent. You deserve the title of the strongest pharmacist in the world! Your medicine gave my granddaughter a new lease on life. You are a great benefactor to both of us!"
"I am deeply grateful and need no thanks. Please feel free to ask for anything you need. I will do my utmost to help you in any way you may ever need my assistance!"
"Sir, you flatter me! I said before administering the medicine that its efficacy is only 50%, while your granddaughter, due to her bloodline inheritance, has an 80% chance of success."
But whether it's 50% or 80%, there's a prerequisite: the user must have a strong will and be able to endure the inhuman pain of having their physical potential stimulated.
If she herself is weak-willed and chooses to back down during the process, then she will not be able to achieve the best result.
Your granddaughter is too weak, and it is especially difficult for her to endure such pain.
But she gritted her teeth and persevered, so she deserves at least half the credit for this result.
"You asked me what my needs are, so I'll be frank."
"First, please keep this medicine a secret, as it is extremely difficult to make, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble." Bo Yiyan said to him with a serious expression.
"I understand the principle of 'possessing a treasure is a crime,' and I will not reveal this matter for the next few years. In a few years, when Yun'er's cultivation level is higher, it will be impossible to hide it."
"At that time, I will announce to the outside world that I obtained a Holy Spirit Grass through secret channels, which has nurtured Yun'er's spiritual root," Venerable Wu Ling hurriedly said.
"Alright! Secondly, I would like to ask you to escort me and my companions safely out of Thunder Sound City."
"We were just passing through and taking a casual stroll. We never expected to offend Master Lin's brother-in-law. We're worried he'll retaliate and obstruct our journey," Bo Yi said.
“No problem, it’s a piece of cake. Lin Yuelun is just a pill refiner in the Spirit Fusion Realm. He’s someone I personally brought into the manor. He doesn’t dare to mess with him,” said Venerable Martial Spirit.
“In that case, we’re even,” Bo said.
"Settle the debt? Mr. Bo, are you joking? How can such a great favor be settled so easily? If word gets out, everyone in the Misty Heaven Realm will condemn me for being ungrateful."
"No, no, sir, please think again. Is there anything else you wish for me to fulfill?" Venerable Wuling said excitedly.
“Right now, I really can’t think of anything I need. If you feel really bad about it, how about paying for the medicine?” Bo Yi said.
"Of course, the cost of the medicine must be paid, but this kind of medicine is a rare treasure that can only be found by chance, and it cannot be bought with a few spirit stones."
"No, no, sir, please think again. Is there anything else?" Venerable Wuling said.
Bo Yiyan: This old man is really honest. Although he has cheated a lot of rich people out of their money in the past, those were all guys who tried to bully others by taking advantage of their power.
"How about this, you owe me a promise, and I'll ask you for it back when I need it in the future, how about that?" Bo Yi said.
“One promise is not enough, so let’s make three!” Venerable Wuling took out three crystal-clear flowers and handed them to him.
"This is the Jade Dew Flower that I personally crafted. If you carry one close to your body, it will automatically activate and can block a fatal blow for you in the event of a life-or-death calamity."
And once it is activated, even if I am thousands of miles away, I will be able to sense it immediately. At that time, I will find you as soon as possible and fulfill one of your wishes.
"You can also give it to the person you care about most. At that time, I will only recognize this Jade Dew Flower. No matter whose hands it is in, my promise will stand." Venerable Wuling said earnestly.
“Sir, this is too valuable! Aren’t you afraid that if I give it to a bad person, that person might try to rip you off?” Bo said, moved by the words.
"Mr. Bo, you probably don't understand what Yun'er means to me."
When I was young, I was obsessed with cultivation. When my daughter was born, I went to a secret realm of immortals to compete for cultivation resources. Although I obtained great opportunities there, I was trapped on a trial platform for fifty years.
When I broke through to the Heavenly Realm and left the secret realm, I returned home only to find that my wife had been hunted down and killed by her enemies. My daughter was only five years old when she died.
After enduring many hardships, the daughter met the wrong man and was used as a vessel by her Daoist partner, who drained her of her life force for ten years until she died from exhaustion.
If Yun'er hadn't secretly escaped on the day of her mother's burial, she would have almost been given away by that beastly father to an old man in the Spirit Fusion Realm as a concubine!
When I finally found Yun'er after many twists and turns, she had sold herself into a maidservant in the household of a minor sect manager.
Fortunately, the manager's daughter was kind-hearted and treated her fairly well; otherwise, I don't know if she would have survived until I found her.
She was only twelve years old when I found her.
She thought that with my protection, she could live a carefree life from then on. Little did she know that one of my nemesis bribed my servant to sneak into the crowd of guests on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony and disfigure her face.
I have let my wife and daughter down in this life. If their only remaining bloodline dies of grief, I will be devastated.
I probably won't need any enemies to kill me; I'll just self-destruct.
Your potion has awakened Yun'er's dark spiritual root, enabling her to embark on the path of cultivation. With my abilities and her aptitude, she will at least be able to break through to the Spirit Realm.
Originally, as a mortal, even if she used the most precious longevity fruit, her lifespan would not exceed two hundred years. But once she broke through to the Spirit Realm, she could enjoy a lifespan of at least a thousand years.
This means that I have a thousand years to slowly make up for what I owe her.
Therefore, let alone three promises, even if I were to give you my life, it would be a win for me.
The Martial Spirit Venerable poured out his heartfelt pain, and Bo Yiyan couldn't help but sigh after listening.
To be fair, it's perfectly normal for cultivators in the cultivation world to venture into those dangerous yet promising secret realms in order to compete for resources.
But as a result, his family was destroyed, leaving behind only a pitiful granddaughter who could not cultivate. He owed his family a debt, and this sole survivor became his only salvation.
“I understand, sir. Please rest assured, I will use the token you entrusted to me with care,” Bo Yiyan said earnestly.
