"Hey, blondie! Give them the antidote. Stop using your talent to hurt people everywhere, or I'll break your legs!" Han Tianci pointed at the little boy sitting on the high rock, his tone like he was scolding his younger brother.
The little devil, who was just waiting for those people to die so he could find something to fill his stomach, was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Suddenly, a child who looked about the same age as him jumped out and pointed at his nose and yelled. It was one thing to yell, but he actually knew that he had a talent. It was another thing that he was not poisoned!
He wasn't poisoned! When has his own poison ever lost its effectiveness?!
He tried to calm himself, his gaze fixed coldly on Han Tianci's face, his voice as icy as a demon's, "Who are you? How did you know I have talent? Are you an immortal or a demon? How come you weren't poisoned?"
"I am neither an immortal nor a demon, just like you! Unfortunately, I am of the same clan as you!" Han Tianci raised his head, meeting the other's cold eyes without fear.
"A race?" The little devil's brows furrowed.
"Not bad, a gifted race." Han Tianci glanced at the high rock beneath the little devil's bottom, a golden glint flashing in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Under this rock, there's a Haiming Mystic Pearl. Do you believe it?"
Today, my sister and I came to this island in the Boundless Sea because I spotted treasures here from afar, which is why I brought my sister here. My talent is even more powerful than the Eye of Wisdom. The Eye of Wisdom can only see the origin and use of treasures, but my talent not only gives me the ability of the Eye of Wisdom, but also allows me to see where there are treasures from a great distance. Whenever I spot a treasure, my eyes will emit a golden light.
"What is the Haiming Pearl? Is it under this broken rock?" The little devil looked blank, clearly not understanding the thing.
"Ignorant!" Han Tianci said arrogantly, "The billion-year-old pearl absorbed all the essence of heaven and earth and the pearl oyster over billions of years. The pearl oyster turned into an ordinary stone, but the pearl became the Haiming Xuan Pearl. The Haiming Xuan Pearl is the main ingredient for making the Longevity Elixir!"
He expected the other party to be surprised, but to his surprise, the little devil scoffed disdainfully, "Tch, I don't need it."
Han Tianci was quite taken aback by these words. Indeed, as the other party said, if the other party was truly a useless root, he would not be able to benefit from the effects of the longevity elixir because he did not have a complete immortal root.
Seeing the other's speechless expression, the little devil laughed smugly, "In my eyes, anything I can't use, no matter how noble, is useless! Your talent is clearly worthless! My methods of killing are far more practical!"
Han Tianci retorted, "My talent is more useful than yours! My talent allows me to find medicinal herbs that are beneficial to me. I was already nearing the end of my lifespan, but because I found suitable herbs, I've gained two more years. You have a useless constitution; you probably won't live much longer, right? What's the use of taking someone's life if it doesn't save your own?"
"Lifespan? How long? Are you sure it's true?" The little devil's eyes lit up.
After birth, he only had one relative, his great-uncle, the Ghost Doctor. His great-uncle was a highly skilled doctor, but he never thought of letting him learn from him. He genuinely loved him and only wanted him to live out his remaining years happily, because his own lifespan was limited to no more than five years.
But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke. When I was three years old, I accidentally entered my uncle's poison room, which was filled with extinct poisons. When my uncle found out, he was extremely anxious and took my pulse, only to discover that I hadn't been poisoned at all. Later, he discovered that I had a talent! A talent for medicine and poisons!
Many diseases that even the Ghost Doctor Uncle couldn't cure, and medicines that he couldn't refine, he could cure and refine himself with his talent.
Soon, he became the Little Healer Saint of the Demon Realm, a title he held before he was a little devil, a title that belonged only to him in the Demon Realm when he was three years old.
Until one day, a powerful demon from the demon realm, the Flame Demon Lord, came seeking medical help, and all peace was disrupted by the sudden appearance of a storm.
His illness stemmed from excessive cultivation and the consumption of too many cultivation-enhancing pills, which damaged his bloodline and caused scurvy. After curing him, the demon king wanted to take him as his disciple. Becoming a demon king's disciple was the dream of countless newcomers in the demon realm, but when the demon king examined his own body, he revealed a truth he could not accept.
In the past, the Ghost Doctor Uncle said that his lifespan was so short because he was born prematurely, and that it was an incurable disease. He trusted the Ghost Doctor Uncle completely and never doubted him, nor did the Ghost Doctor Uncle ever take his pulse.
However, the Flame Demon Lord told him that he was the son of immortals and demons, and should have surpassed immortals and demons to possess dual roots. However, due to premature birth, his dual roots did not develop and became useless roots. Not only could he not cultivate, but his life would also be short.
Later, when he examined his own body for the first time and took his own pulse, he discovered that everything was true: he could heal everyone, but he could not extend his own lifespan.
In the past, I always thought that my great-uncle was a demon, and therefore I was a demon too. That sense of belonging made me feel very at ease.
But that's not the case!
The lack of a sense of belonging made me afraid!
Am I the child of a fairy and a demon?
Who is my mother? Who is my father?
He didn't ask his ghost doctor uncle who his parents were, but only inquired, "Are they still alive?"
Uncle Ghost Doctor didn't answer, but he understood that this was a tacit agreement: they were all still alive!
If they are alive, why have they never appeared in my life? Why did they abandon me after I was born?
From that moment on, I began to harbor resentment!
He hated the woman who gave birth to him and then abandoned him, and he hated the man who got her pregnant but didn't wait for the child to be born.
They also indirectly began to hate immortals and demons!
Because of the loss of a sense of belonging and the fear of impending death, I slowly distorted all my views, my view of the world, becoming misanthropic and extreme.
I don't want to live a long life, but I don't want to have lived in vain. Even if I die, I want to take a few people with me!
So, he left the Demon Realm, left a letter and ran away. He knew that his Ghost Doctor Uncle was searching for him like a madman and had almost found him several times, but he escaped every time.
Honestly, if I could live a few more years, would I still be so extreme? Would I want to go looking for those two people who gave birth to a child but didn't raise it?
"Hey, blondie, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought!"
Han Tianci had already walked over to the little devil and sat down beside him, but the little devil remained lost in his own thoughts until Han Tianci roared, "Hey! Wake up! Are you dead?"
"Cough..." The little devil patted his chest and said angrily, "What are you yelling about? I'm not deaf!" Looking down at the person sitting next to him, he exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? When did you sit next to me?"
"You've been standing there like a dazed man for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I'm getting tired of waiting, so naturally I need to find a place to sit for a while," Han Tianci said somewhat displeased. "What were you thinking about just now?"
"I was thinking, what if I could survive..." he began instinctively, but quickly stopped himself, snapping, "Do we even know each other? What's it to you!"
"Immortality?" Han Tianci seemed not to have heard the rest of the sentence, and said directly, "You want to be immortal? Easy! I'll find you some medicine to extend your lifespan, won't that solve the problem!"
"You..." The little devil hadn't expected this troublemaker to say such a thing, and asked with some skepticism, "You're really that kind?"
---Aside---
Today, a certain child, Tianci, arrogantly displayed his talent. This talent is indeed remarkable. At the very least, if he were poor, he could simply look around and find a rare treasure that others had been searching for for hundreds of years, and he would snap it up at a glance!
In this chapter, you might be wondering why the little devil knows nothing about his mother. Although I will explain in later chapters, I want to tell you now so that you won't find it strange.
Actually, the reason why Uncle Ghost Doctor didn't talk about his mother's affairs was because she didn't want her child to know. If the child knew, Han Yu would naturally know as well. So even if her child hated her and she was misunderstood as an evil woman who abandoned her child, she didn't want her child and Han Yu to be sad. Sometimes, hating someone is better than being sad. This was Green Charm's good intention.
