CHAPTER 24: ABSOLUTE TRUTH! PART 3
According to his understanding, the couple wouldn't tell anyone about Adrian, after all they wanted the plants he had. And it wasn't worth telling the others.
Only then could they save their daughter.
On that subject, he was more or less sure, that he could be safe for the moment.
But he couldn't go back either. I needed to know the extent of their abilities.
In the morning he might hide within the mist, and at night he might try to hunt beasts with curses to test his skills.
Or this was what Adrian thought, but he knew that the evil essences would continue to accumulate in his body, if he didn't do something to stop their advance.
After returning to the fog, Adrian began to train, he had to understand what he could do, now with the mask of the Heavenly Devil, he had to look in a different direction.
Time continues to pass.
A month passed, then two months. Several adventurers and hunters entered the forbidden city. However, there was a story which was passed on by word of mouth. If you were lucky and you were about to die, you could shout "I want to pay a hundred coins for my life" when someone said those words.
That person left the northern area of the city alive.
It was an unexpected and suspicious event that attracted a lot of attention.
Many said they could notice a child walking in the fog, but no one had seen it clearly.
All this they attributed to the curses of the forbidden city.
Nobody knew if you could pay for your life before or if there was only that promotion for these months. But the fact was that everything you had gotten had to be returned, once the fog spared your life, you had to return everything you had stolen.
A strange event, in a cursed city.
After staying two months in the cursed city.
Adrian looked around again. The fog no longer posed any danger, however, more and more people were coming and going. Adrián was no longer in charge of these tasks, he simply sent his fog.
In the two months that had passed, he was able to freely roam the entire northern part of the city, there was a very powerful alchemy sect here, and they specialized in plant breeding and pill making.
As time passed, Adrián began to read all the books in the abandoned libraries.
Although due to the lack of a teacher he couldn't do well at first, he had to think of many ways to cultivate spirit plants.
"A spiritual plant is nourished by the very energy of heaven and earth, the more complicated it is to grow them, or they have been cultivated for more than a thousand years, they will be the favorite of all growers" – that was the first thing he read in the beginner's guide to the introduction of plant cultivation.
"Every plant is different" – It was the second thing I managed to understand, even with quite a few books it would take him a long time to understand everything that their contents said, he was not a genius, but he could clearly remember each page, once he made an effort to remember something, it stuck to him and he did not forget, although that took time.
It was one thing to understand and the other to remember, I was only good at one thing.
However, he didn't give up, and began to read the entire library of what was once the Pill Lord's sect.
Another five months passed, Adrián had already been in this place for almost a year.
Hundreds of books could be seen piled up on the floor of the street, while in front of him there was a garden, of the several seeds he had obtained, he had managed to grow quite a few, and many of them grew favorably.
However, he had discovered a shocking fact.
"Because, my blood?" – Adrian discovered something important in these last months, and this was related to that strange mask.
I still didn't understand how it worked, even when I shout "Absolute truth!" With all my lungs it didn't work, although I wanted to train with the mask I couldn't, I didn't know what I was doing, so I better spend researching plant cultivation.
But in his investigation, when he climbed to the top of the Pill Lord Sect, to the last pavilion, a trap was activated, and several silk threads, falling on him trying to kill him.
The mist was the one who resisted the whole trap, but one of his arms was wounded, and his blood fell on the seeds he had saved.
He never thought that his blood would make the seeds become ancient plants.
Or so I could see after consulting quite a few books.
"This, it's quite troublesome" – He thought so, he knew he had to be careful from now on, he couldn't let his blood spread everywhere, if that happened, he would become an object of greed, and maybe he could even end up dead.
By the time Adrián already had a garden with hundreds of plants. Some that he had cultivated, and others that had become so because of his blood.
"I think, it's time to go back" – Adrian looked into the distance, he had to go back to apothecary Gu, even if every page of how to make pills was engraved in his head, he couldn't do it, he felt that something was missing, and apothecary Gu was the only one who could help him.
In addition to that he wanted to see if Grandpa was okay.
