Chapter 143 Ch-143: Ebonheart City(2)
Wang Ming kept his eyes closed, patiently waiting for Sun Jing to return. He couldn't quite ponder what she meant by it might to be too late. His wait wasn't long, as Sun Jing soon stood before him.
"Here, disciple... um, what's your name?" Sun Jing asked, slightly embarrassed, as she had forgotten to ask his name.
"It's Wang Ming," he replied with a friendly smile that made Sun Jing's heart race.
"Disciple Wang Ming, this is your payment," she said, handing him a pouch filled with low-grade spiritual stones. He accepted it and was about to leave when he heard the familiar sound of the system notification.
[Ding Dong]
[A new quest has been created]
[Quest: Pill saves a life]
[Description: The city lord is distressed as his physicians tending his wife informed him that she has only a month to live. The city lord needs a Golden Mist pill, a True Core Realm Ranked pill, to cure his wife. However, despite having the resources and recipe for the pill, he lacks a 2-star Alchemist, who are hard to find in such a short period. Concoct a pill for the city lord.]
[Time Limit: A month]
[Rewards: 100,000 Dual Cultivation Points]
Wang Ming looked at the mission in surprise and understand what the lady in front of him meant and then asked the system about the type of pill required.
"What kind of pill is this?" Wang Ming asked the system, and a response appeared.
[System Message: The Golden Mist Pill is a unique concoction that releases a golden mist during the process and doesn't form a solid pill; it dissipates into mist. This pill is commonly used to treat rare cases where females have fallen into a coma due to cultivation issues. In reality, this condition results from a deficiency of Yang Qi in their bodies, which they need, especially if they've been practicing techniques that require abundant Yang Qi]
The system's explanation stirred anger in Wang Ming. Neglecting a woman in such a condition was something he couldn't tolerate. It seemed the city lord had failed in his duties as her husband.
"System, can my Yang Qi permanently cure her along with the pill?" Wang Ming inquired.
[System Message: Yes, if the user engages in Dual Cultivation with the city lord's wife and releases Yang Qi within her, she won't face this issue ever again. The pill is still necessary, but due to the special Alchemy God's Inheritance, the user can create a solid pill that will automatically dissipate into mist over the course of time while they practice Dual Cultivation, otherwise if the user does not Dual Cultivate with her she will be temporarily healed but fall into the same situation later again]
With this information, Wang Ming decided that he will fulfill the role of her husband by replacing the City Lord, in other words, he will cuck him
"Lady Sun Jing, you look distressed. Is there something I can help with?" Wang Ming asked with a friendly smile, concealing his earlier thoughts. She hesitated for a moment, but his warm expression prompted her to speak.
"Yes, my mother-in-law is in a life and death situation and needs a pill that only a 2-star Alchemist can concoct," Sun Jing shared with sadness in her voice, as she held deep respect and a close bond with her mother-in-law.
"I can help with that. I happen to be a 2-star Alchemist," Wang Ming said with a smile, leaving her stunned.
"A 2-Star Alchemist, are you sure you're not joking?" Sun Jing gave Wang Ming a skeptical glance.
"Yes, this is my Alchemist Medallion," Wang Ming assured her, showing the token with '2-Star Alchemist' inscribed on it, which he had received after passing the test. Seeing the genuine token, a look of surprise crossed her face.
"Alchemist, please follow me inside," Sun Jing said as she grabbed Wang Ming's wrist and led him in.
Inner Court Area
"Father, let me go to the nearest Alchemist Hall. I'm sure we'll find a solution there," Lei Tao suggested.
"Yes, you should leave immediately. But I'm worried; will your mother be able to hold on?" Lei Wei said, rubbing his forehead in concern.
"I will depart right away," Lei Tao replied. He was about to leave when his expression darkened as he spotted his wife approaching, dragging a handsome man by the wrist.
"Sun Jing, who is this?" Lei Tao asked, a hint of anger in his voice. Sun Jing noticed his displeasure and realized she was still holding Wang Ming's wrist. She quickly let go, and upon seeing this, Lei Tao's anger subsided, reassured of his wife's faithfulness and docility, even though he met with other women much his wife's displeasure
"This is Disciple Wang Ming from the Yin-Yang sect, here to deliver the Blue Earth Grass," Sun Jing explained. A tinge of jealousy crossed Lei Tao's face, as Wang Ming was known to Dual Cultivate with various beauties of the sect. Lei Tao had applied but failed to gain entry as his Cultivation at that time was not high enough and also his looks were not that great to gain entry, his techniques in pleasuring in women were also lacking so he failed to become a disciple of the Yin-Yang sect
Wang Ming, observing Lei Tao's expression, couldn't help but smile. He was familiar with the jealousy that often accompanied such looks.
"Sun Jing, why have you brought him here? Haven't you already paid him for the herbs?" the city lord asked, his face creased with concern as he was too preoccupied to focus on anything else.
"He might have become greedy and wants more payment. Give him some spirit stones and send him back. I still need to visit the Alchemy Hall," Lei Tao said with a contemptuous sneer. Wang Ming's face showed a momentary frown, but it disappeared just as quickly.
"Father, Husband, Disciple Wang Ming is a 2-star Alchemist," Sun Jing revealed, and a hush fell over the surroundings.
