Chapter 105: Chapter 21 Holy Beast? Fellow Transmigrator? _2
Confused and oblivious, unable to comprehend human speech, Luolin had lived in such a state for thirty years.
Yue Jinghua could not imagine how a paleontologist, once standing at the pinnacle of modern civilization, had become someone who could not understand the language of the Six Lands, had to evade the pursuit of Dark Beasts daily, and survived such days.
The one-eyed gaze began to blur, as if recalling the most painful period.
"Sixty years later, I met Fengling, a witch from one of the families of the Southern Country Eighteen Towns, who made her living by gathering herbs. When she first encountered me, I was attacked by an adult Fire Cloud Wolf and was seriously injured. My ghastly appearance terrified her. Yet as kind-hearted as she was, she ran away but then came back. She taught me the language of the continent and informed me about various things across the land. In my words, because I met Fengling, I returned to human civilization. Later, I told her about my ordeals."
Fengling, after hearing about the one-eyed’s experiences, did not question the truth of Luolin’s words. Gradually, the two became friends, and then, feelings developed between them.
They enjoyed spending time together, and Fengling secretly taught Luolin the intellectual methods of Dark Skills from her family. She never expected that Luolin was a cultivation prodigy, with an amazingly fast progressing rate.
The Southern Country Eighteen Towns, abundant in Dark Energy. Coupled with Luolin’s diligent cultivation.
Fifteen years, it took Luolin another fifteen years, from a First Rank he reached Ninth Rank becoming a High-level Dark Beast. During these fifteen years, Fengling was always by his side.
"She was banished from her village because of me. The two of us lived near Lake Heart Island. She grew medicinal herbs, and I focused on cultivating, hoping to advance to a Holy Beast and transform into a human form as soon as possible," Luolin’s voice was low and deep, that of a man with experiences.
"I thought life would just go on like this. But unexpectedly, I acquired a type of crystal stone," in Luolin’s single eye, a layer of bright, translucent crystal shimmered, "arsenic trioxide, arsenic in modern terms."
Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but look back at the woman in the crystal. Li Niang was just an ancient, what kind of mindset would she need to accept a soul from another world?
"Back then, Fengling was already over thirty years old, just an ordinary woman. She always wondered what would happen if I advanced into a Holy Beast while she had aged into a decrepit old woman. So, I specially concocted an Elixir Pill for her to slow the aging of her appearance," Luolin didn’t realize that his unintentional remark would become the very thing that led to Fengling’s death.
In the Devil Crystal, Fengling still had a beautiful, youthful appearance, seeming no older than a woman in her twenties.
"The monotonous path of cultivation was too dull. After concocting the Youthful Elixir, I started to use modern chemical principles to refine various Elixir Pills. Gradually, the people of the Southern Country Eighteen Towns knew that there was a famous Pill Master residing on Lake Heart Island. More and more Southern People came to seek Elixir Pills," Luolin was a person naturally indifferent, having no attachment to Canglong Continent or the Southern Country.
But Fengling was different, lively and kind-hearted, willing to help every patient, she even gave away the Youthful Elixirs. Gradually, rumors began to spread that there were Elixirs of Immortality on the island.
The last time, the Clan Leader of the Southern Country Eighteen Towns came to seek medicine. At that time, Luolin had reached the peak of the Ninth Rank, at the critical moment to rush towards becoming a Holy Beast.
After several days of closed cultivation, when Luolin came out to look for Fengling, she had already died.
"The people of Southern Country Eighteen Towns were too greedy, seeing Fengling remain youthful for decades, they assumed she had hidden the Elixir of Immortality. After repeated pressures yielded no results, they killed Fengling, invaded Lake Heart Island, and stole most of the Devil Crystals," Luolin’s voice gradually became cold and merciless, as his emotions surged violently.
A red mist swirled around the one eye.
"To avenge Fengling, did you poison nearly a hundred thousand of Southern Country Villagers?" Yue Jinghua is not a saint defending the conventional morality of the world, she could understand the madness of a person, particularly a transmigrator like Luolin, when losing their only lover.
A hundred thousand villagers, his methods were indeed too ruthless.
"Human nature is the most greedy, I merely distributed Youthful Elixirs laced with a sufficient amount of Crystal Powder. The naive Southern People wanted to achieve eternal youth through Elixir Pills," within a few days, poisoned people were killing each other, wailing and weeping bitterly.
Houses turned into ruins, lakes transformed into Blood Lake, the Southern Country completely became a deathly marsh.
Luolin retrieved Fengling’s body, with his current cultivation, he could not yet revive Fengling, he could only forever seal her in the Devil Crystal, retiring in the Dan Demon Tomb.
"Luolin, you are wrong. If those who killed Fengling deserved to die, the elderly and children who were innocently fed the poisoned medicine by their relatives and friends were innocent. The resentment from a hundred thousand wronged spirits forming negative energy, is completely harmful to your cultivation. Besides, coming from the 23rd century as a distinguished scientist, you should know that the dead cannot be brought back to life," Yue Jinghua entered the Dan Demon Tomb, if not protected by the Creation Divine Skill, she would have long been eroded by the negative energy.
The ordeal of Luolin indeed evokes sympathy, but Yue Jinghua could not agree with his actions.
"Science? There is no science in Canglong Continent, here, only the laws of heaven and earth exist, only the rule of the strong over the weak, only ignorance. My existence, transforming from a Dark Beast to a human form, is the most plausible existence. Moreover, you cannot understand the pain of losing a loved one. That man, that red-haired man, he’s your lover? Haha, once he also dies, you will understand how I feel," Luolin laughed hysterically.
"Luolin, he’s not my lover, he’s my friend. Give me the antidote," Yue Jinghua said sternly.
In the blood mist, any further delay, Ni Qianjun’s life would indeed be at risk.
"Antidote? Want the antidote? Only if you can defeat me first," Luolin’s rotund body bounced into the air, sharply opening his previously closed eye, which was now a vivid red.
Yue Jinghua met his gaze, and her mind suddenly spun into dizziness.
