Chapter 5: An Unwelcome Guest
Old man Liu contemplated for an entire night before he approached Jing Yue when the sun came up, “I… I would like Lil Pebble to learn pill refining from you, is that alright?”
There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone. Ever since he knew Jing Yue, he felt that he was continuously taking advantage of him, and he felt bad about it.
But Jing Yue was able to produce 8 high-quality Blood Replenishment Pills so easily, so his pill refining skills must be really good. For the sake of Lil Pebble, Old man Liu was prepared to beg for a chance, even if it meant losing some face over it.
“I’m getting on in years, and won’t be able to take care of Lil Pebble much longer. He was plagued by the cold syndrome from a very young age, to the extent that his meridians are severely blocked and won’t be able to cultivate anymore. My only hope is for him to learn a skill so that he can take care of himself.”
Jing Yue, “Who said Lil Pebble is unable to cultivate?”
Old man Liu was taken aback.
Jing Yue, “As long as Lil Pebble owned a spiritual root, both of you can reconstruct your meridians by consuming a Hundred-turn Meridian Pill, thereafter, you can cultivate your Dao.”
Right from the start, he had discovered the hidden complications that plagued both Lil Pebble and Old man Liu. When he saw the obedience displayed by Lil Pebble, and found out that Old man Liu was a kind person, he had made up his mind to help them out.
Jing Yue always believed that Dao cultivation was equivalent to cultivating the heart. As long as a person had the heart to do something, there would be no fear of consequences. If Old man Liu had kept quiet about the situation for fear of repercussions, Jing Yue would not have pursued the matter.
