As I start to mediate, I initially feel a sharp pain deep in my core, but I soon feel my soul getting soothed like an angel was singing a melody
I start to drift into the depths of my soul, the place is white and barren, but a feel a disturbance coming in
I noticed the silhouette of Wen Shan and this time I can see his smooth skin clearly.
What are you doing here?
With a low but welcoming voice,
"Hello there, we've met before"
So that was you I saw
"Yes, you so rudely killed one of my vessels and stole the Bartlett Pear I was looking for"
I hear a slight bit of disdain in his voice
"But that's in the past"
He smiles
"We can forget about all of that if you agree to be my vessel"
What do I get out of it?
His voice remains the same, but I can feel a threat behind it
"Nothing"
I think on the spot trying to make this work out for me.
Can you agree to one term?
He glares at me with his crimson eyes
"Speak on"
If I agree, can you help me kill Xian Shi?
I say not wanting to go through all the trouble my previous plan had
"For that little girl? He's only a rank 5, it should be easy enough. But you'll have to agree to some terms"
Damn, he's not going to let me have it easy
What are they?
"Once he's dead, I'll need you to drink all his blood. That blood will be sent to me and I can experiment with an exceptional talent. I hadn't had one of those in centuries."
Sick bastard, there's no way I can drink all of that blood, but I hesitantly agree
"Good, link hands with me"
I entwined my hands with his and seal the contract
He pulls out a jaded coin, but one side is darker than the other. I can feel the dark aura around it. Seems like this is the balancer coin. I grab the coin from him.
"The effect will only last for 3 minutes. Make sure you don't mess up. I'm looking forward to the sample."
The balancer coin is a single use coin that balances out ranks [(a+b)/2)], but it only works on rank 6 at the maximum, and the time limit gets shorter and shorter as the rank gets higher"
Wait, by any chance did you alter anything?
He looks slightly perplexed by what I said
"What do you mean to say?"
Never mind, I guess I'm going crazy
His figure slowly fades away, removing himself from my core
I continue meditating trying to cram as much as I can in before I have to go to class.
I feel my Qu building up quickly in my lower core.
I could of been a rank 7 maybe even an 8 if I had this talent.
Well, the Bartlett Pear is helping out too
It seems like the path to Eternal Life is possible now, but the thought of the person who altered the timeline lingers in my head.
I quickly throw away the thought to fully focus on my mediation
