"I'll come to pick you up in three days."

The old Taoist smiled sinisterly and slowly walked away with a hunched figure.

"Bang!"

Just as I turned around, I took a solid punch.

"Are you crazy?!"

"We can all see what's inside there!"

Looking at my friend Chen Feng's bloodshot eyes, I forced a bitter smile.

"So what if we can see it?"

"The elixir is fake, becoming immortal is fake, but the silver is real."

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and walked out of the alley, buying things along the way from the clinic, the grain shop, and the butcher's shop.

Aside from herbs, I divided the things I bought into two halves, giving half to my mother and placing the other half in front of my friend Chen Feng's house.

My mother asked many questions, but I silently helped her brew the medicine.

Finally, wiping away her tears, my mother asked if I was leaving, and I nodded.

The pain in my stomach became increasingly clear; I knew it was the hatching of the parasite, and my body was its incubator.

Every time it stretched its body, it was accompanied by excruciating pain.

These three days felt like a nightmare.

In three days, I will "be reborn," and that old Taoist will come as promised.

"Indeed, you are a good seedling. I didn't misjudge."

I lowered my head and called out.

"Master."
