"Urgh…" Varsil grunted as he slowly woke up in his own room, surrounded by Marcus who had a worried look on his face.
"Father?" he asked with his head still in a daze. "What… where am I?"
"Varsil, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Marcus asked worriedly.
"Why would I be—" suddenly he remembered what he was doing. He had gone away because of a summon and had seen the bamboo that was going to…
He quickly touched himself, looking all around him. However, he found no changes. There was nothing new about him.
'Was I not healed?' he thought.
"Son?" Marcus asked.
Varsil couldn't help but be unable to hide a disappointed look. "I'm okay, father. I… I'm not hurt," he said.
"Good, now tell me. What were you doing out there? Why did that…" Marcus hesitated a bit and spoke in a low voice, "bastard bring you in here?"
"The senior brought me here?" Varsil said.
"Yes, he fucking did. What were you doing with him?" he asked.
"I… he said that he had a way to heal my condition so I could no longer be without a cultivation base," he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcus shook his head. "That bastard is a liar. He took away Halios, and now he is trying to take away you. Don't listen to him," he said.
"Since when does that make someone a liar?" Ning asked.
Marcus stepped back in fear. "What the fuck are you doing in here?" he shouted.
"God, chill man. I'm not here to hurt someone. I'm here to check up on your son. I had Halios keeping an eye on him until he woke up," Ning said and moved to check on Varsil.
He closed his eyes and looked at the wound on his Dantian. "You're still a little wounded from your healing procedure," Ning said. "There is a hole in your dantian that will be needed to fix before you can cultivate. Also, your meridians are in a terrible state, so you will need to eat some heavenly pill to fix that."
"I… I can cultivate?" Varsil asked. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Of course," Ning said. "What? Did you think I was lying when I said I had a way?"
"N-no, I-I was just… it's hard to believe something like that after being a mortal for so long," Varsil said.
"I understand," Ning said. "Anyway, regarding the pill—"
"I can make the pills. I have quite a good knowledge of alchemy," Varsil said.
"Great!" Ning said. "But you won't be making any pills. I have just brought back people that can make way better pills than a mortal like you ever can, and she also happens to be going to learn everything there is to be known about Alchemy very soon."
"Within the next 3 days, Halios will come to get you to eat some pills and get tested. Go with him," Ning said. "I don't know if I will be around during that time, but it won't matter to you."
"As for now, rest up," Ning said and turned around to leave.
Varsil remained in awe after hearing the unbelievable. Was this really happening? Was he really going to get healed?
Even Marcus couldn't help but be surprised at what he was hearing. He quickly ran after Ning and stopped him.
"Are you telling the truth? Is my son really going to heal? He can cultivate again?" he asked.
"Man, why do you not trust me?" Ning asked. "I have no reason to lie to you all."
Marcus hesitated a bit when he heard that and nodded. "Thank you," he said as he bowed a little. "Thank you for helping heal my son. I am certain that I would have been unable to do so without your help."
"Don't mind it," Ning said. "Anyway, make sure he rests, and don't let him eat anything with Qi in it. That will be very dangerous."
"Yes, absolutely," Marcus said. "Thank you again."
Ning nodded and waved goodbye. He was surprised to not hear any cursing this time around. He figured that Marcus was very grateful for helping heal his son.
He teleported back inside the Origin and went to find Anya to tell her everything. After mentioning the young man that was ill, she decided to go and make some pills to help him.
Ning gave her the most extensive piece of knowledge on Alchemy out there that not only worked for this world but in fact this entire universe.
Every single ingredient, every single beast, and every single possible pill; Ning gave Anya all that he could so she could become the best alchemy figure in this entire universe.
Anya was very overwhelmed at first, but slowly she got a handle on her fear. She was immortal and she had all the time in the world.
With Ning as her master, she had nothing to fear. So she could continue practicing Alchemy forever and ever.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I can give this to my children too, right?" she asked.
"Yes, but only give your immediate family for now. Don't let anyone know about the existence of this book and instead teach it to them indirectly," Ning said. "Also, take this."
Ning handed her something.
Anya took what she had received and looked at it curiously. However, no matter how she looked, it was just a normal stone.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Call Halios," he said.
Anya was confused. "Who's Halios?" she asked.
"Just call him," Ning said.
"Okay… Halios?" she called out.
Halios came out of nowhere and stood in front of Anya, giving her a scare. "What? Who is he?" she asked.
"He's Halios," Ning said. "The Will of this world."
Ning had to spend half an hour explaining everything about Will and Halios to Anya, who couldn't believe that something like that even existed.
"Oh, poor soul," Anya said. "Is this right? I don't want to own him."
Ning smiled. "Then free him," he said.
"How?" Anya asked with a confused look on her face.
"Just destroy his Oathstone."
