Chapter 413 Inheritance
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the window and falls on the ground in patches.
The mysterious white-haired old man lay quietly on the bed prepared for him by Shu Ya and the others. His face was pale, as if he had been mercilessly eroded by the years.
His white hair gleamed silver in the weak sunlight, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness around him.
Luo Li stood beside the bed with a complicated look in her eyes.
Shu Ya sighed softly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She looked at the old man's wrist, the skin there was like dead wood, lifeless.
After Yun Hanfeng solved Yun Li’s problem, he immediately rushed over after receiving the message.
Looking at the person on the bed, he paused, his eyes filled with an uncontrollable sadness, "How could it be..."
The last time I saw him, he was still smiling and saying that he was doing well and could hold on for a few more years.
But how long had it been? How did he become like this? !
Luo Li turned her head and said, "Chief Yun, can we talk about him now?"
Yun Hanfeng closed his eyes, his originally straight back slightly hunched, and he sighed, "I'll say."
Following Yun Hanfeng's words, Luo Li also roughly understood why this person had become like this.
In the room, the dim light illuminated the pale and haggard face on the bed.
Yun Hanfeng stood beside the bed, his gaze fixed on the man, as if trying to find a trace of the man's past in that face that was once full of life and smile. However, all he saw before him were his tightly closed eyes and weak breathing, as if he was expressing endless pain and helplessness.
Yun Hanfeng's voice was low and trembling, as if carrying an unspeakable sorrow: "He... He was trying to protect our ancient clan, and that's why he ended up like this."
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "His ability is very rare, called 'Inheritance'."
Luo Li frowned slightly and asked, "Inheritance?"
This word is easy to understand, but when it comes to bloodline ability, she really can't imagine what kind of ability it is.
Yun Hanfeng nodded and roughly explained, "Their tribe is very special. Only one person is born every hundred years."
"When his life reaches its end and he is about to die, all his strength will return to one place. After a few years of condensation, this strength will give birth to a child of this bloodline."
He sighed, "We don't know the name of his tribe or bloodline, but we named him: Jibai."
They all hoped that he could see the sunrise every day, not knowing when the sun would rise in the east.
But now it seems...
Luo Li frowned slightly. This was too unbelievable. "So 'inheritance' means inheriting bloodline?"
Yun Hanfeng shook his head, "Not only that, but also all the power of the previous person."
Bei Mingyu pursed his lips, "What about the memory?"
Yun Hanfeng shook his head. "According to him, no."
He sighed, "On our entire continent, he's the only descendant of this ancient clan with this bloodline. Moreover, his bloodline has the effect of removing the 'curse' on us. Although it can't completely eliminate it, it can reduce the frequency of the curse."
Yun Hanfeng lowered his eyes slightly. Perhaps he was lonely too.
Born between heaven and earth, with no memories, no parents, and no friends.
Every time I saw him before, Ji Bai was sitting cross-legged in the thatched hut on the mountain, gazing at the distant Wanling City.
He asked Ji Bai to go back to Wanling City, but Ji Bai said that he would die sooner or later, so it would be better for him to be more comfortable here.
But where is he at ease?
In order to prevent accidents caused by the curse and the birth of newborns of the ancient clan every year, he stays here almost every day. How can he have his own freedom?
They tried their best to find a pill that could completely cure the curse, and they also wanted to give him some freedom.
But now...
Luo Li frowned, "So, every time a newborn is born, it has to be brought to him so that he can help you dispel the effects of the curse?"
Yun Hanfeng closed his eyes, nodded, and said with a hard voice, "Yes."
Luo Li tapped her fingertips lightly, which was her habit when she was thinking.
After a moment, she looked up and asked in confusion, "Humans of their bloodline can only live for a hundred years? Is there no solution?"
Yun Hanfeng sighed and nodded, "Indeed, our ancient ancestors also searched for answers, but there was no way to prolong their lives. Even if they looked healthy, they would die after reaching a hundred years old without exception."
He looked at the person on the bed with a look of pity in his eyes, "We are the ones who have let him down. Except for a few core members of the hidden ancient clan, no one else knows what Ji Bai means to the ancient clan..."
When he said this, Yun Hanfeng's voice was a little choked, but he was clearly not even fifty years old.
Yun Hanfeng is not yet two hundred years old this year, and he can be said to have watched this child grow up.
This child has a kind heart. The reason why he has white hair at such a young age is because too much power is transferred to the newborns of the ancient clan. Therefore, newborns like Lan Xiaoxiao and Yue Hanchuan may not be cursed once a year.
In addition, this time in order to save them, he came down from the mountain and faced the God King, and suffered considerable injuries.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he turned to Luo Li, "Young Master Luo, I know you are a god-level alchemist. Do you have any way to save him?"
"As long as I can save him, no matter what Young Master Luo wants, I will do my best to find it for you!"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of all the ancient tribesmen around him turned to him, their gazes filled with hope.
Luo Li's eyes were a little complicated. She looked at the old man who was breathing weakly on the bed. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Before they could be happy, Luo Li said, "But I have to find some information first."
"As for the reward..." Luo Li lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll owe it to you."
As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole room seemed to be lit up.
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief and joy on their faces. Although some of them did not know what Ji Bai had done before, now after hearing Yun Hanfeng's explanation, they completely regarded Ji Bai as their benefactor.
Their children have all benefited from him, so they naturally respect him. Now that they can save him, it couldn't be better!
Yun Hanfeng, in particular, looked particularly excited and nodded without hesitation, "No problem! No matter what it is, if Young Master Luo needs anything later, just let me know."
Others also joined in, "Add me!"
Luo Li curled her lips into a smile, turned around, handed the life-extending elixir to Lan Xiaoxiao, and left with Lan Qingqing, Xiao Liu and the others.
Since she has decided to do it, Luo Li must do her best.
She just didn't believe that this person could only live for a hundred years?
