Chapter 592 - Finding Clues (2/2)
——————
The few of them flew very quickly, in less than ten minutes they were back in Yang City and heading right for Ling Hong’s house. Ling Hong had gone to the academy, when they arrived, he’d yet to return, Ling Wen Xuan who opened the door was stunned for a moment when he saw them before he ushered them in.
“My three benefactors, why are you here?” He was delighted and invited them to sit. In the short period of a few days, his legs had already recovered, he could walk like a normal person. Lonemoon swept a glance and found that the demonic aura in his body had completely dissipated and he had resumed his Golden Core cultivation.
“I was intending on personally paying you a visit to give my thanks after my brother returns, I didn’t expect you all to come here first.” He looked at the three of them and questioned after a thought came to mind. “I remember that it is the day of the finals today, why did Ling Hong not return together?”
“We had something on so we left first.” Lonemoon replied, “We disrupted you today because we had a matter that we wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Ling for some information about.”
“You’re too polite, just call me Wen Xuan.” His smile was exceedingly gentle. “The recovery of my legs was all thanks to the help of you guys. Wherever you need, please feel free to let me know, climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, I will not say no.”
“Not at all, fellow daoist.” Lonemoon habitually said a word of courtesy.
We only helped to refine the fish bone, it’s not considered any great act of kindness.”
Yet his expression became even more solemn. “What are you saying! My brother couldn’t tell, but how would I not know. Regardless of how unusual the Red Scented Fish bone was, it cannot cure my legs and recover my cultivation.” He said directly, “The medicine you gave me that day was completely different from what my brother had produced, I understand that it was you all helping me in the dark that I could recover so quickly!”
As he spoke, he dropped to his knees and solemnly bowed to the three of them. “Thank you all, for the grace of rebirth!”
“Don’t mention it, Wen Xuan!” He didn’t expect him to be a wise one, that was great then. Lonemoon quickly helped him up. “The last time was just a small matter, but now we indeed have something that needs to trouble you.”
“Please speak!” Ling Wen Xuan seemed to have noticed their haste and asked directly, without any delay.
“Could please tell us in detail about this rainbow colored egg?” He brought out the colored egg that had been broken by Shen Ying earlier on and was repaired by his spell. “Where did you find this that day, did you encounter anything?”
“This… colored egg?” Ling Wen Xuan faltered, glancing at the egg, a trace of surprise flashed across his face at once. “Turns out you won the championship of the league! Congratulations fellow daoist.” He excitedly congratulated before answering, this egg was found on a mission I went on with a teacher from the academy to the northern flame mountain.”
He thought back carefully before continuing to say, “The Flame Mountain is a fire mountain, there are many demon monsters deep in the Flame forest near it. Back then it was because high level demon monster charged into a city and they were unable to handle it, and so requested for Immortal Spirit Academy to help out. And this colored egg was found in the den of the demon monster after we exterminated it.”
“Other than this, did any unusual things happen?” Lonemoon continued to question.
“No.” He shook his head. “If you were to say unusual… that demon monster was surprisingly aggressive, even teacher couldn’t guard against it completely, that’s why I…” He subconsciously looked down at his own legs and sighed. “After I was bitten, I lost all my cultivation and was totally unable to use any spells.”
Hold on! Cultivation?
