158 Three Thousand Years and One Day (2)
“By the way, how is the King of Medicine born?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“It’s similar to the fire cloud grass. The herbs that fail to transform will fuse with the purple root grass to evolve into fire cloud grass, and those that succeed will be burned to death by the power of the sun. They will fuse with the fire cloud grass to evolve again and become the King of Medicine,” Dr. Sun said. His tone was a little disappointed. “This kind of transformation is the wrong path. Even if the transformation is successful, there is no way to survive.”
Jiang Ming looked at him in confusion. He did not understand why he was so affected by the fire mayfly’s life and death.
“Alright, the spiritual energy in the valley has reached its peak today. I’m going to fight to the death here!”
Dr. Sun did not say anything more. He stood up from the bamboo chair, and his murky eyes shone with an unprecedented light. “Brat, this might be the last time I use the Spirit Restriction Seal. You had better watch carefully!”
Jiang Ming could only sigh.
Perhaps if he continued to endure the pain, he could still live for a few more years. However, Dr. Sun obviously did not want to live like this.
Dr. Sun’s hands formed a seal. One after another, complex and mysterious runes flowed out from between his fingers and palms. They surrounded his body and absorbed the spiritual energy around them.
Jiang Ming’s eyes were wide open as he stared at each rune carefully. He remembered that Dr. Sun said each level of the Spirit Restriction Seal represented a different seal.
These runes seemed to have broken through the scope of the six basic seals. Each rune contained the true meaning of several seals. This opened Jiang Ming’s eyes and rapidly deepened his understanding of the Spirit Restriction Seal.
Gradually, all the runes began to glow brightly. It was as if they were alive. Then, they rushed into Dr. Sun’s body.
Vaguely, Jiang Ming felt as if he heard a clap of thunder.
Several strange fluctuations of energy continued bursting out of Dr. Sun’s body. His aura was also sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if he was going through some kind of intense transformation. For a moment, the light contained in his eyes made Jiang Ming’s heart palpitate.
“It seems that his memory is accurate. He was indeed a terrifying cultivator back then!” Jiang Ming was secretly shocked.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming’s expression changed slightly, and he looked at Dr. Sun.
There seemed to be a sound coming from his body, like a string being broken. Dr. Sun’s aura also fell rapidly.
In just a moment, Dr. Sun’s aura had completely collapsed. In Jiang Ming’s eyes, Dr. Sun was no different from an ordinary person.
Dr. Sun’s figure staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Ming quickly prepared to help him up, but Dr. Sun waved his hand. His voice was calm. “There’s no need for that. Accompany me for a walk.”
Jiang Ming paused. It seemed like Dr. Sun had failed.
He could already feel that Dr. Sun’s life force was flowing away. He was afraid that Dr. Sun would not be able to last even an hour.
This man, who had dominated the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years, was probably going to fall today.
“Your two old friends have already woken up once. They are just sleeping again.” The two of them walked to the dry well as Dr. Sun slowly explained.
Jiang Ming quickly looked into the well and saw Master Si and Black Bean still lying still at the bottom of the well. However, their fur seemed to be a lot brighter. They also looked like they had gone back to when they were in their prime.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed. “What’s the situation?”
“They seem to have some kind of connection with the dry well. An unknown power in the well nourished them and woke them up. However, a few days later, they were pulled back into a deep sleep by something else If we rashly take them away now, I’m afraid there will be unknown consequences,” Dr. Sun said, shaking his head. “However, I could sense that their conditions were getting better, and their physical bodies were also evolving. If they were to sleep here for a hundred years or even longer, they might wake up as two powerful great demons.”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and suddenly looked at Dr. Sun. “Back then, you transformed into a demon. Was it also related to this well?”
He was born in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest and became a great demon. Master Si’s transformation was very similar to Dr. Sun’s.
Dr. Sun chuckled and shook his head. “Even if it’s related, it’s something that happened before I was aware of the world. I don’t remember anything at all. However, what you said might make sense.”
The two of them walked out of the secret area and came to the deep valley outside the crack. The fire mayflies were dancing in the sky, constantly devouring the fiery red miasma, turning from ugly to gorgeous, and rushing upward.
Dr. Sun looked at the dancing fire mayflies in amazement.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Ming. “You said that in order to rush out of this deep valley, the fire mayflies consumed the poisonous miasma. This caused them to only be able to live for a day. And you wondered if it was worth it, right?”
“In my opinion, it’s not worth it!” Jiang Ming chuckled. “What can I do in one day? How can I experience life in that short period of time?”
