Chapter 597: The Price of Miracles
Time slowly passed in the Jin Long sect, each day bringing discoveries, fun, and new relationships.
The Golden Dragon’s Pearl’s reputation soared under Adam’s constant supply and honest management, even more so now that he sold tier three and four pills of heaven-defying quality.
With sect points flowing into his card and the materials he collected on each expedition, he forged a brand-new blade for Misha and brewed the life-extending potion.
However, troubles struck him, too. With his rapid ascension through the arena ranks and his unheard record of 150 wins for zero losses against disciples three realms higher than him, he drew the scrutiny of many core elders.
Some had offered him and Misha to become their disciples like Wang Hao had, while others sent their disciples to spy on him. Both approaches made him roll his eyes and click his tongue, especially when they mentioned Shen’s condition with gloating smiles.
But they were right.
The devoted man did his best to guide him and Misha, but his health rapidly deteriorated.
Confined to his bed, he had endured his rotting bones and failing liver for a year until the curses reached his lungs a few days ago, forcing his body into a coma. But everyone knew he would never wake up again.
Even now, Adam infiltrated his house in the middle of the night and observed Mei Lan’s tears trail down her wrinkled face.
’She’ll probably die of grief in a few days...’ His lips twisted, and his eyes dulled slightly. Such a devoted woman. Her motherly care reminded him of Alina.
’Don’t cry too much,’ he muttered, a steely glint flashing in his eyes. ’I’ll flee at worse, but I’ll save you both.’
