Then, the old man looked at Xiao Chen and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Ming 'er, this child must have been pestering you. I'm here to apologize to you. This child just doesn't listen. I've told him many times that this illness can't be cured, but he just won't listen. Sigh, you actually didn't need to give him the herbs just now. Even if you invited a pill master, he wouldn't be able to cure it. It would just be a waste of money."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "A little money is fine. It's just that I can see that this kid is extremely filial to you. I'm afraid that just persuasion won't be enough to make him give up. Since he wants to invite a pill master, then let him do it. That way, he will understand."
Zhang Ming didn't want to believe that his grandfather couldn't cure it. Moreover, Xiao Chen had already said that as long as he could see his grandfather and prove that the illness was real, he would agree to give up.
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't try to persuade him. Instead, he fulfilled his promise and asked this kid to invite a pill master. Then, he would truly give up.
"Thank you …" The old man looked deeply at Xiao Chen and said in a heavy tone.
"No problem. Since I've promised, I will naturally do it." Xiao Chen waved his hand and signaled for the old man to rest.
This old man's injury was really serious. It had already reached the point where he couldn't be saved. Even if he had some precious immortal pills on hand, they wouldn't be of any use. At most, they would only be able to delay for a few days.
Even if a pill master of Elder Zhang's level came personally, he wouldn't be able to save this person.
And the only obsession in Zhang Ming's heart right now was to save his grandfather.
Therefore, even if Xiao Chen said that he couldn't be cured, Zhang Ming wouldn't believe him. He would definitely crazily beg others.
Therefore, it was better to just give it to him and let him invite a pill master. This way, this kid would give up.
Although this was a little cruel.
"Sir, this old man … has a request!" Suddenly, the old man who was resting on the bed spoke.
"Just say it!" Xiao Chen was slightly puzzled.
"I can't thank you enough for your kindness. It's just that my illness can't drag on for a few more days. If I die, then so be it. There's nothing to feel sorry about. It's just that I can't let go of my child, Little Ming. So, I hope that you can help Little Ming!" The old man said as he struggled to sit up.
"Do you mean that you want me to help you take care of him after you leave?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Ahem, I'm ashamed. That's exactly what I meant. Little Ming's talent was average and his cultivation base wasn't even at the Immortal Realm. In a place like the Immortal World, a person without the cultivation base of an Immortal Realm was worse than a beast. So I hope you can take care of him for a while. Once Xiao Ming reaches the Celestial Stage, his future will be up to him! "The old man coughed dryly and spoke in an awkward tone.
"This …" Xiao Chen frowned. To be honest, he was slightly unhappy.
He was helping out of kindness, but the old man's request was a bit too much.
However, before he could refuse, the old man continued, "Of course, I won't let you do it for nothing. I obtained this item by chance in a Secret Land. Many experts died fighting for it. I was lucky enough to get it. But to be honest, after so many years, I still don't know what this thing is used for. But one thing I'm sure of is that it's absolutely extraordinary. If you agree to my request and take care of Little Ming until he reaches the Celestial Stage, I'll give this to you as a reward!"
At the same time, the old man took out a black jade pendant.
"This is …" Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed and he stared at the black pendant carefully.
But he didn't find anything different. He could only vaguely sense that there was a mysterious Qi dynamic circulating on the black pendant.
That Qi was a little familiar to him.
"That's … the unique Qi that the black stone coffin had when it appeared?!" But in the next moment, Xiao Chen knew why this Qi was a little familiar to him.
Although there would be some changes every time the black stone coffin appeared, the mysterious aura did not change much.
The Qi on the black pendant was very similar to that of the black stone coffin. In fact, Xiao Chen felt that they were exactly the same.
They both looked ordinary, but when he sensed them carefully, he felt that they contained endless mysteries.
To be honest, Xiao Chen was also very curious about the black stone coffin that appeared repeatedly.
He even wanted to study the black stone coffin, but he didn't have the chance to do so.
But now that the black pendant had the same Qi as the black stone coffin, Xiao Chen instantly made up his mind.
"Okay, I promise you! Give this item to me, and I'll help you raise Little Ming to the Celestial Stage! "
Without much consideration, Xiao Chen agreed to it right away.
Although he also didn't know what the black pendant was used for, the fact that it was exactly the same as the black stone coffin's was enough for him to agree to this condition.
"Thank you, Your Excellency … I didn't misjudge you. Your benevolence will be rewarded in the future." The old man thanked him solemnly, and there was a hint of relaxation in his tone.
After saying that, he directly handed the black pendant to Xiao Chen.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the pendant?" Xiao Chen took the black pendant and actually felt a little relaxed.
It seemed that the moment the black pendant was in his hand, he felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.
"Haha, if Your Excellency was that kind of person, you could have just killed me and taken my treasure. There was no need to seriously agree to my condition. So it's enough to show that Your Excellency is not that kind of person! Of course, I have no other choice, so I can only take a gamble! "The old man smiled faintly and then teased.
"Okay! Don't worry. Since I said I would do it, I will definitely do it, "Xiao Chen repeated.
"Of course I trust Your Excellency!" After the old man made the arrangements, he seemed to have no more worries, and even his tone was a little more relaxed.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I've invited the alchemist!" Just then, Zhang Ming's joyful voice sounded.
Behind him was an immortal of the Immortal General realm.
This surprised Xiao Chen. A Celestial General Stage alchemist would actually make a house call like a secular doctor?
"Silly child, even if I'm not here, you still have to work hard and live well, understand?" The old man spoke with some indescribable regret.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? The alchemist is here. He can definitely cure you. "Zhang Ming shook his head, his eyes full of hope.
