Chapter 17 - parasite pollen

chen was anxious about his wife's health so he headed towards his mansion with adam at full speed choosing the secret underground route . he chose it because it was fastest and nobody would spot them there which was totally fine with adam . the tunnel was clean and it proved that chen was a capable lord who worked earnestly for his citizens safety. the only possible time they would use the tunnel would be to transport high quality goods or when the city is under attack after all. the tunnel was connected to many areas of city so adam was impressed with the construction . they quickly arrived at the backyard of city lord's room as the exit was connected to there .

chen entered his room and asked adam to follow him . adam took a look at the simple room which only had some jade and books which could tell that it belonged to an influential person besides its size . the wife's room was the next one and both were connected so they arrived quickly and adam saw a beautiful lady who had blonde hair and looked like was in her 30s lying on the small bed which was designed for a single person's use . her expression was of anguish but she didnt open her eyes so adam could tell why chen was so worried about her as if this situation continued for a week then it was worrying .

adam sat besides her on a stool near her bed and checked her pulse. in truth he was only acting as despite the fact his medical knowledge was great due to his pill mastery knowledge but using the observe function was the most sure method after all .

the information appeared inside Adam's mind instantly and he took a look at it . he was surprised to find that Emily's age was 76 despite her looks and was again left in awe for the effects of foundation realm as reaching it would increase life span till 300 years and the youthful body can be retained for much more years due to increased vitality.

adam found the culprit behind her unusual illness . she was suffering from hallucination effects caused by parasite pollen of spring cactus flower . it was common in cultivation world as there exist many similar herbs or plants that produced parasite pollen but for a city who only had foundation realm cultivators as the most powerful it was difficult to cure .

the reason was simple because to expel the pollen from inside the body which absorbs vitality at an extremely slow pace and causes fever or hallucination or nightmares as a side effect , origin energy was required and the person who was curing the patient must have fine control over their origin energy.

origin energy was the evolved form of qi after a cultivator successfully forms his origin core inside his inner world after reaching the origin core realm . the scattered balls of qi that are formed inside the inner world of a foundation level cultivator , are required to form a single sphere core leaving no openings in it for him to advance to origin core realm . the condensed energy then transforms into higher level energy that qi which is precisely the origin energy . the more talented cultivator the more he would face trouble with forming their core because the energy they had absorbed was way more compared to other cultivators. the process was difficult because it required strong mental power and control on their own qi to form core successfully. Adam's control over his energy could be considered legendary so even though his energy foundation was way dense and more in quantity, he formed his core on first try using his powerful mental energy . the mental energy came from soul so Adam's soul which was stronger because it was nourished more when compared to others due to the best cultivation method and star energy which was denser compared to simple spiritual energy .Adam's core was more than 10 times denser and bigger than other cultivators because the energy he used for foundation is the star energy . so adam is much stronger than his peers who are at same level as him.

adam replaced after confirming the cause of Emily's precadenent because he knew that his control was much advanced than others so he could easily cure her . adam placed his right hand on her stomach and released his origin energy . it traveled inside Emily's body smoothly and the parasite were eradicated when coming in contact with the strong energy easily. fortunately the parasites hasn't reached the heart or brain yet so the process was much smoother as adam had confirmed it with his divine sense . now Emily could cultivate much faster than before as with curing her , adam also helped her remove some clogging in her spirual veins so her pace to absorb energy inside her body would be twice fast now .

" fuuu.. city lord , your wife will be fine now. " adam wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled. " she was infected with parasite pollen which I have removed completely . now her vitality which was slowly consumed by them will be recovered quickly if you let her eat some nourishing spiritual food especially one or two 500 year old herbs which are filled with vitality . " adam gestured with his hand and chen looked at his wife's face " see , her expression is relaxed now . she will wake up in a few hours so get the food ready now as she will be hungry after the eradication of parasites and few days without consuming food . oh... I almost forgot .. "

adam stealthily took out the jade bottle with restoration pills inside it and took it out from his pocket . herbal aroma gushed out and filled the room when he took out a pill from inside . after storing the bottle back inside his pocket and from there into inventory " city lord chen , this pill is for you . "

chen was too surprised with the powerful aroma which indicated that the pill was a high level pill and high grade at that . he could tell because he could sense at least 13 different aroma belonging to different herbs with his experience and knew that many more herbs were used when refining this pill . so he hesitated to take this pill as he could not pay for it even if he sold everything belonging to him and even himself. adam of course see the reluctance in chen's behaviour so when he opened his mouth and was going to refuse politely, adam flicked his finger and the pill landed inside his throat . out of instinct chen closed his mouth and a loud gulp was heard which meant that the pill was successfully consumed . adam smiled and was going to leave ..

" please wait sir adam ! you have not acc...." chen's words remained stuck inside his mouth as he was stupefied after feeling that his cultivation foundation which was damaged was beginning to repair at extremely fast speed . adam knew what happened as unlike uncle han whose foundation was completely broken , chen only needed seconds for the pill to start showing its effects . adam laughed loudly and left the mansion at his full speed leaving the frozen chen who was standing with a hand pointing at the direction where adam was standing before running off .

adam considered the treatment of emily and the restoration pill as repaying favor that old adam owed to uncle chen so he was of course not going to bother listening to the gibbering of chen for rewarding him for his service. as for chen spreading the news about the restoration pill , adam was not worried about that because he knew that from chen's personality he would not do anything that could cause harm to his benefactor intentionally .......
