Liliath's Grandfather

After learning about the person whose body was engraved with scriptures, Gu Ding asked Elsa for more information about that person.

The man was in his fifties or sixties, with graying hair and beard. In Elsa's words, he wasn't particularly tall, only about half the size of the Viking Clan man. Besides the scriptures carved on his body, he bore numerous scars from battle. But what was most striking were his eyes, which turned gold during combat. Elsa had actually fought him more than once, but each time she saw his eyes turn gold, she would immediately lose her fighting ability. This was why she felt this man might be able to defeat her Old Dad.

The fact that the other man's eyes could turn gold caught Gu Ding's attention, because Liliath's eyes also turned gold when she activated her Pupil Technique. He suspected that this man and Liliath had some connection.

So that very night, he instructed Robert to bring Liliath to the temple overnight.

The group returned to the foot of the mountain to stay overnight, because according to Elsa, mornings were usually when a person was in the best mood.

Early the next morning, Elsa led everyone to the small wooden cabin some distance from the foot of the mountain where the temple was located.

She timidly hid behind the massive Bigge, before Gu Ding knocked on the door of the cabin.

"Senior, my name is Gu Ding, and I have come here seeking medical treatment."

"You've come to the wrong person for medical help. You should go to the mountaintop and find that Priest named Ohm." A deep voice came from inside the house. "Elsa, I told you not to come here again. Not to bring more people."

"But uncle, they said they're looking for the person whose body has scriptures carved on it..." Elsa quickly explained.

A moment of silence followed in the room. A man with graying hair and beard pushed open the door of the wooden cabin. His gaze swept over Bigge and the others, a hint of doubt in his expression, before finally settling on Gu Ding, the leader. He exuded a menacing aura, appearing ready to strike at any moment. "What do you want from me?"

"One of our companions has been poisoned. We'd like to ask a senior for help in detoxifying us." Gu Ding could vaguely sense the immense power emanating from that oppressive aura; it was definitely beyond their ability to contend with, even if Bigge and Elsa joined forces. They wouldn't stand a chance of victory.

"I've already said it, I can't cure diseases, let alone cure poisons. I don't know what Elsa told you, but you've really come to the wrong person. If you want treatment, go to the Priest on the mountaintop." The man said, preparing to close the door.

"We've already looked for the Priest. He can't help us," Gu Ding said hurriedly. "The Saint Speech Clan told us that Lily can only be saved if we find someone whose body is engraved with scriptures."

"The Saint Speech Clan?" Hearing this, the man stopped closing the door. "I really don't know how to heal. If I could help, I wouldn't stand by and watch someone die, out of respect for Elsa. Who was the person who gave you the prophecy? Could it be a fraudster impersonating the Saint Speech Clan?"

"It's Nisos of the Saint Speech Clan, an old man with white hair in a wheelchair. He shouldn't be a fraud. The generals of the Dragon Soaring Universe's military department all know him, and he even spent hundreds of billions of Universe Coin to participate in the Auction House." Gu Ding was also a little doubtful. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, he probably really couldn't treat people.

"Nisos? I've heard of him. What exactly did he tell you?" The man frowned slightly. He didn't understand why the Saint Speech Clan would make such a strange prophecy.

"His exact words were: 'In the boundary river, there is a planet with a huge temple. Find a person on that planet who has scriptures carved on his body. He should be of help to Liliath.'" Gu Ding said, Sea Emperor projected the video from that time.

"Since that's the case, I'll take a look at you, but don't get your hopes up too high, I really don't know any medical skills." The man finally agreed and walked towards the metal cabinet carried by the two robots. He froze the moment he saw Liliath.

"Senior, are you alright?" Seeing the man standing in front of Lily for a long time without reacting, Gu Ding felt a little strange.

"What's her name? How old is she?" the man suddenly asked.

"Her name is Liliath, and she is fourteen years old." Gu Ding was even more puzzled when he heard these two questions.

"Liliath?" The man seemed somewhat suspicious, but didn't delve into the question further. He then asked, "Do you know if she has any special abilities?"

"She knows Pupil Technique; when she activates Pupil Technique, her eyes turn golden." Gu Ding thought this man was likely a relative of Liliath, so he didn't hide anything. "However, she is also an excellent gunsmith."

Upon hearing this, the man's lips curled up slightly, but tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and his body trembled slightly.

"Why is the uncle crying?" Elsa was a little confused.

"Shh..." Gu Ding put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and Elsa immediately covered her mouth.

"Tiny, your daughter, my granddaughter, is still alive!" The man's hand trembled slightly as he touched Liliath's face, which was protected by ice.

Only now is the mystery finally revealed: the man is Liliath's grandfather.

"Tell me what happened, how she was poisoned, and who poisoned her." The man turned to look at Gu Ding.

Sea Emperor projected the video from that time directly.

"The Dark Magic Domain!" The moment he saw the two Black Robed Man, he recognized them as people from the Dark Magic Domain. When he saw the hunched old man inject the poison into Liliath's body, his fingers clenched so tightly they cracked the air. After watching the entire video, the man remained silent for a long time. "Seven days... how many days have passed?"

"This is the third day now, but we've studied this toxin. It spreads more slowly at low temperatures, so we've frozen Lily in ice. She should have about twenty more days left," Gu Ding explained.

"The people of the Dark Magic Domain are untrustworthy, so we should abandon the idea of asking them for help. Besides, whatever deal they're talking about, the chances of it going through are slim. Lily's father's family are a bunch of profit-driven scoundrels. Lily's death, while it might cause them some trouble, will ultimately do them more harm than good."

"Senior, do you have a way to help Lily detoxify?" Gu Ding was still most concerned about this question.

"I can't help her detoxify, but I can try to guide her body to produce viral antibodies. Because she is my granddaughter, I can use my blood as a medium to guide her from a spiritual level. As long as her will is strong enough, her body will obey the guidance of her soul and slowly generate antibodies. In addition, she needs a lot of Cellular Repair Agent to provide energy. Given her current physical condition, level E is enough."

"I'm a pharmacist, so there's no need to worry about that." Gu Ding wasn't concerned about using the potions. He had plenty of potion materials in his Storage Space, which were from the free supplies he received from the Medicine God Alliance on Titan Star. Every time he arrived at a planet, he would collect all the free supplies without wasting a single one.

"Can you concoct potions of good quality or above? High-quality would be even better, but the success rate of concocting high-quality potions is not high, and they may not even be available for sale on this planet."

"Senior, it's possible. I should be able to refine Superior Quality potions as well." Gu Ding summarized that he was only unable to refine Perfect Quality potions when the spaceship was shaking or when his body was extremely exhausted. Under normal circumstances, the success rate of refining potions was one hundred percent. But there was no need to brag about this here.

"That would be best." The man nodded. "Don't call me senior anymore. My name is Caesar."

As he spoke, he took out an empty syringe from his Storage Space and drew a vial of blood from his arm. To the surprise of Gu Ding and his group, the blood displayed in the transparent syringe was a dark gold color.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Gu Ding and the others, he switched to a longer needle, slowly inserted it into the ice, and pierced Liliath's neck, injecting the vial of blood into it. He then withdrew the needle; the entire process did not cause any change in the ice.

"Do you have Cellular Repair Agent now?" Caesar held out his hand.

Gu Ding nodded and handed over five vials of Perfect Quality E-Grade Cellular Repair Agent.

Caesar was clearly taken aback. "You made this yourself?"

"Mm." Gu Ding nodded.

"Perfect Quality, quite impressive," Caesar praised, but he quickly got busy, switching the Cellular Repair Agent to a longer needle and injecting two more vials into Liliath's arm. He returned the remaining three vials to Gu Ding, "I'll ask you for more when I need them. Make more; we'll need at least seventy or eighty vials these next few days, if not a hundred."

Caesar spoke, he picked up Liliath along with the cabinet and carried her back into the cabin. At his signal, Gu Ding and the others followed him inside.

"Later I will use my Pupil Technique to enter her soul and communicate with her in her dream to stimulate her will to live. At this time, she cannot be disturbed, so we need someone with great strength to guard outside the cabin." Caesar said, looking at Bigge and Elsa.

"I'll guard. Bigge can't fight; he's just a cook." Elsa took the initiative to take on the responsibility of guarding, and in fact, with her there, it was enough to put people at ease.

Caesar didn't say much, then looked at Gu Ding, "You stay here. I'll call you if I need anything. Everyone else, go out and do whatever you want, just don't make any noise."

Gu Ding nodded to Bigge and Robert, and the two then led Elsa out of the cabin.

Inside the house, Caesar's eyes quickly turned gold, with strange silver runes faintly flowing across them.

Gu Ding sat motionless to the side, waiting quietly.
