chapter 10 I have a friend...

"My mentor is known as the Ghost Doctor, and his attainments in medical alchemy are unparalleled! It's a bit embarrassing to say that, although I am respected as a miracle Divine Doctor, my knowledge is not as good as that of my mentor. In case, I just have some reputation in the Quirm Dynasty! If his old man were here, there might be something he could do." "Ghost Doctor?" Acker felt happy. "Where is he?" "Speak of it." Divine Doctor Xavier smiled bitterly. "I haven't heard from his old man in decades." Decades... Acker's heart became cold again. He could afford to wait, but could Little Fool wait? "Young Master..." Little Fool finally understood the meaning of their words and felt a little sad. "Is Little Fool going to die?" "..." "Little Fool is not afraid of death, but Little Fool is reluctant to leave the Young Master..." "Don't worry!" Acker felt a pain in his heart and hugged her tightly. "I won't let you die!" "I will definitely find a way to save you. This is my promise to you! You know, I never lie to you!" "Well..." Divine Doctor Xavier didn't know what he thought of and sighed again. "What a beautiful girl, what a pity!" He hesitated for a moment. He took out a small vase again, which was pure gold in color and engraved with countless exquisite patterns, but it was much more precious than the jade vase just now. "This is a Spirit-Nurturing Pill." "It was left to me by my mentor when he was leaving. It was intended to be used by me to break through to the Realm of Connecting with the Divine, but I had some other adventures and couldn't use it. The elixir refined by him is naturally very effective. Now ...I’ll give it to you, it may be of some use temporarily.” "Master Xavier!" Alfred was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "That's the elixir refined by the Ghost Doctor himself. You..." "What’s the matter?" Divine Doctor Xavier’s expression darkened. "Whoever I want to give my things to needs your permission?" He was kind. To be able to say such a thing was to be really angry. "I don't dare, don't dare! Alfred quickly apologized and smiled. "I was rude just now. Please don't blame me, Master Xavier." He was also puzzled. Although Divine Doctor Xavier had a kind nature, he had never been so generous. He even took out the elixir refined by the Ghost Doctor himself, just for a little girl he had never met？ Even Prince Charles didn’t receive such treatment! "Sir, thank you for your kindness!" Acker bowed his head respectfully to the end. "I will always remember it in my heart!" At this moment, his heart, which had been frozen for a long time because of the Griffin Family's betrayal, felt a little warmer. "Thank you, grandpa!" Little Fool follows suit. "Grandpa is such a good man!" "Hahaha..." Seeing Little Fool's innocent look, Divine Doctor Xavier was filled with joy. "Okay, okay, this elixir I gave you is worth it!" Alfred curled his lips. If Divine Doctor Xavier gave the elixir to Alfred himself, he would call Divine Doctor Xavier grandpa... No, great-grandpa would do! Acker solemnly took the vase and opened it gently. At the bottom of the bottle, three thumb-sized, yellow pills lay quietly there. In an instant, a wisp of extremely soft and refreshing fragrance that was different from the Fierce Sun Fruit floated out. Just took a puff. Acker felt that his spiritual sense had become sharper again. "Young Master." A Little Fool almost drooled. "Smell good..." "Come on, take one first." "It's so... delicious..." As the elixir entered her mouth, Little Fool became a little dizzy, her body tilted, and she instantly fell limply into Acker's arms. "Sir, she..." "It's okay, it seems to be working, she doesn't have any cultivation base. So it will naturally take some time to absorb the power of this pill." "Thank you, Sir!" Divine Doctor Xavier glanced at Little Fool again and sighed slightly in his heart. What happened next? It depends on your luck. "Alright!" Putting away his thoughts, he had no intention of staying any longer. "I will..." "Sir!" Acker suddenly stopped him. "I don't know... Sir needs that Fierce Sun Fruit, what exactly is it going to do?" "It doesn't have to be this way!" Divine Doctor Xavier was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand. "I gave you the elixir just because of this little girl... If you think that I am asking for the Fierce Sun Fruit with kindness, you are looking down on me!" "Sir misunderstood." Acker thought for a while. "I did eat that Fierce Sun Fruit, but...I wonder if I can replace it with something else?" "Something else?" "This is it." Acker gently put Little Fool down and took out the little red snake. "Crimson Flame Snake!" Alfred exclaimed and quickly came closer. "No wonder, Master Xavier said that this place where the Fierce Sun Fruit was born must be haunted by Crimson Flame Snake. We were still wondering why we didn't see it. It turns out it was in your hand. Boy, why didn't you take it out just now!" Acker simply ignored him. "Sir, can this snake be of use?" "Of course, it comes in handy!" Divine Doctor Xavier nodded with satisfaction. "This Crimson Flame Snake is a mutant species. Although it is not yet a minor, it still has Fourth Tier attributes. Its Beast Core is no less effective than the Fierce Sun Fruit, or even better!" After taking a look at the smooth wounds on the snake's body and the broken sword in Acker's hand, he seemed to understand something. "It seems that I have underestimated you!" "Sir, I'm flattered. It was just a fluke!" Acker naturally didn't want to reveal his secret. Divine Doctor Xavier didn’t ask any more questions. Everyone had secrets, including himself, and he naturally had no interest in getting to the bottom of it. But now, he believed Acker’s previous words. Being able to kill the Crimson Flame Snake with the cultivation level realm of the Opening Meridians Realm, then swallowing the Fierce Sun Fruit alive was naturally not a big deal. Only Alfred. He kept sneering in my heart. Divine Doctor Xavier didn't really think that the Crimson Flame Snake was killed by Acker, how could it be possible? He probably just had a stroke of luck, more like stumbled upon it! "Boy!" The more he looked at Acker, the more he disliked him. "If you still understand the principle of repaying a favor, bring it here!" "You want?" "Nonsense!" "Exchange it for Primordial Crystal!" "What did you say!" "I gave this Crimson Flame Snake to Sir, of course, I don't want to repay it! But you... you have to give Primordial Crystal in exchange!" "..." After mocking Alfred, Acker turned to give the Crimson Flame Snake to Divine Doctor Xavier. Even though he was in urgent need of training resources, he still didn't take half of Divine Doctor Xavier's Primordial Crystal. Saving Little Fool is like saving him. Auron taught him a truth since he was a child. Kindness, repay tenfold! Revenge would naturally be repaid tenfold! Before leaving, Alfred was still upset. He harshly left behind a remark. "Boy, don't let me see you again!" Acker just thought he farted. … At the same time. The bounty announced by the Griffin Family also reached the ears of most wandering cultivators in the area in just two days! "Two Primordial Crystal, a top-grade Spirit Artifact!" "What a great rewards. Who is this Acker to make them spend so much money?" "I heard he was a rebellious son who killed his father. No wonder the Griffin Family put a reward on him!" "How about it? Do you want to do it?" "Nonsense, definitely do it. If we can really kill him, these rewards will be enough for us to live happily for several years!" "..." Everyone was talking enthusiastically. Those who had seen Acker and Little Fool were so regretful that they beat their chests. Such a fortune! Missed it in vain! For a while, the wandering cultivators forgot about gathering spiritual medicine and killing monster beasts, and based on the clues provided by the Griffin Family, they frantically searched for Acker's traces. … Acker naturally didn't know this. Inside the cave. Little Fool was still sleeping soundly, but her expression was less painful and more calm and peaceful. Aside. Acker carefully applied the medicine powder on the soles of her feet. The medicine powder given by Divine Doctor Xavier was naturally very effective. As soon as it was applied, the blood that was still oozing out from the wound immediately stopped. "Um..." Suddenly. Little Fool turned her body slightly but started to murmur. "Young Master, Little Fool is hungry. Little Fool wants to eat chicken legs..." Chicken legs... Hearing these two words. Acker was in a daze, and his memory seemed to return to ten years ago again. In the ice and snow. A little girl of three or four years old, hungry and cold, fainted in front of the Griffin Family house, and he happened to meet her. A chicken leg. A basin of hot coals. Pulled her back from hell. From then on, he simply left her in the Griffin Family and became his personal maid. For the past ten years, the two sympathized with each other, getting along day and night, and have long regarded each other as their only one. "Little Fool..." Looking at the fair little face in front of him, Acker took a deep breath. "I will never let you die!" "My adoptive father is gone, you must never leave me again!" The Soul Deficiency Syndrome. Ghost Doctor. Pill. … His thoughts gradually drifted away. "Hmm?" Suddenly. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "Oh yeah!" "That guy might have a solution!" … Consciousness space. Inside the Sword Prison. "Damn it!" The dark figure who was sitting cross-legged suddenly jumped up and cursed again. "What kind of life am I living here? Can't die, but can't really live either! Do I have to be trapped here forever? How should I avenge myself!" "Alas..." He scolded him for a long time. He sat down slumped. "That's all, I've been here for so many years, and don’t mind the time before that kid can achieve the Tenth-level Realm of Condensing Qi..." "What are you mumbling about?" Suddenly. A too-familiar voice came from behind him. "Ahem..." The dark figure froze and turned around quickly. "Why are you here again?" "Come to see you." It was related to Little Fool's safety, so Acker's tone softened slightly. "See me?" The dark figure was a little suspicious. "You would be so kind?" "Well, I have a question for you." Question? The dark figure suddenly realized. No wonder you spoke so politely, it turned out you were asking for something! "Boy!" He put his hands on his back and said proudly, "You are not encountering difficulties in practice, are you? You are only in the Qi Condensation Stage, a state that is as weak as an ant, and you still have problems? Listen to me honestly, and don't aim too high. All you need to do is immerse yourself in hard work..." "It's not practice." Acker shook his head. "And I've Opening Meridians!" "Opening Meridians?" The dark figure sneered. "Opening Meridians...huh? What did you say!" He broke through the power instantly and became furious. "You...who asked you to Opening Meridians! Who allowed you to enter the Opening Meridians? I have told you not to aim too high, but you have turned a deaf ear!" "What!" Acker's face darkened. "When do I Opening Meridians and do I need your permission?" In an instant. Sword Prison trembled lightly, and several sword intents were ready to go! "..." Only then did the dark figure realize his gaffe. "Ahem... That's not the case. Although the Tenth-level Realm of Condensing Qi is the simplest ultimate Extreme Realm, it can lay a solid foundation for you. If you can cultivate it, it will be of great benefit to your future practice! You...why did you give up so easily! It's not just stupid, it's simply stupid!" He looked distressed, as if he was really thinking about Acker's future. Acker looked suspicious. Had this guy changed his temper? Why do he care so much about yourself? "Actually, I have already completed the Tenth-level Realm of Condensing Qi." "What!" The dark dark figure stared at Acker closely. "You... have already completed?" "Yes." "Then...ahem, do you have any special feelings?" "Feelings?" Acker thought for a while. "Except for the swollen meridians, there is nothing else. You were right before. It is indeed not difficult to achieve the ultimate Extreme Realm of Qi Condensation Stage !" "I see, I misunderstood you, yes, yes." The dark figure looked approving on the surface. But he was yelling loudly in his heart. Damn it! How could this little bastard be so tough? He couldn't be tricked to death even if he was tricked! He didn't know that Acker’s new meridians were magical. His original intention was to harm Acker, but by some mistake, he helped Acker achieve the Tenth-level Realm of Condensing Qi. Naturally, he was filled with anger. "Let me ask you." Acker was worried about Little Fool and ignored the strange attitude of the dark figure. "Have you ever heard of the Soul Deficiency Syndrome?" "Soul deficiency?" The dark figure said feebly, "Isn't it just that the soul is damaged and the soul power is lost? Why do you ask this?" There was silence for a moment. Acker spoke slowly. "I have a friend..."
