11 He Was Too Impatien (2/2)
”Little Arnin, you know how to make someone happy. Haha! Ok, let me quit the useless chatter and explain what I know.” Uvan pulled himself together and began his explanation on the orbs. ”As you already know, every person is born with a cultivation orb in their body, which makes it possible for almost anyone to cultivate. However, there are always exceptions to this rule. One exception is that an Orb that is incapable of cultivation. This means that a person's orb is just too weak and is unable to properly assimilate worldly essence. Of course there are ways to fix this; medication, duo-cultivation, and some more. The second exception includes people with certain diseases or conditions that either indirectly or directly affect their orb. The former is easier to deal with because an indirect effect will still allow cultivation to be doable, however the latter is trickier. A condition directly linked to the orb is more difficult to handle because it specifically affects the cultivation of the person. Without a way to cultivate, one won't be able to strengthen themselves, plus many treatments require essence inside the person's body.” When old man Uvan began to talk about the direct orb conditions, Arnin knew that the one Lilise had was under this category. However, the mark was able to collect essence so it wasn't considered a terrible condition, but just to make sure that he didn't treat it improperly, Arnin needed to know how a normal doctor would treat it.
”Old man Uvan, how would you treat a person with a direct orb condition? Like, say the direct orb condition is in the form of a mark that devours the worldly essence for itself, not allowing the user to get any of it. How would you treat this?” Uvan was surprised towards Arnin's specific question, but he decided not to ask anything and answered willing.
”That type of condition is called a 'cultivation curse mark', and it has many levels. It should be treated in the early stages because it is quite easy then, but when it starts to grow, it could at one point become life threatening. A worm-like mark is considered the easiest to treat because it is the beginning stages of the condition. As the curse mark grows, the shape also begins to change. The highest level mark will not only devour worldly essence, but also bodily fluids, life force, and even cells. It is the most extreme type and is also very rare.” Arnin was somewhat surprised that such a condition existed. He became even more interested in the worlds essence that could give birth to such a deadly condition.
”Can you tell me how to treat the worm-like curse mark and how to help them regain the ability to cultivate?” Arnin was serious during this mini lesson because he could unmask some of the major questions that he had.
All the other children were ready to proceed with the lessons, but when they saw that the scholar was busy with Arnin, many became angry.
”What is that old man doing there? We payed for these lessons so he should at least teach us at the proper time!” A child who looked around seven spoke with annoyance to a child beside him.
”Exactly! I paid good many for this, so He should teach us what he is supposed to.” The younger child was also very mad. Talonton village was not a rich village so the parents of every child had a limited amount if money. Since they used that money for the lessons and the scholar wasn't even teaching them, many had dark expressions. The seven year old child decided to be the common man's hero and began to walk in Arnin's direction.
”Mister scholar, when will you begin the lessons? If we begin too late, we will not have enough time to-” Just as the seven year old was complaining in a humble manner, Arnin slowly walked towards him. His face was dark because he was in the middle of learning about the condition, but an annoying pest came out of nowhere and disturbed him. ”Little kid, when two people are talking, you shouldn't interrupt. Do you not know manners?” The seven year old arrogantly berated Arnin, his nose slowly rising higher into the sky.
Arnin vanished from the child's view before reappearing behind him. He grabbed the child's arms and pressed his foot onto his back. Slowly, he pulled the seven year olds arms and pushed from his foot. The child and everyone watching became terrified and angry. How fast was this youth? Was he insane?
”What are you doing?! Do you know who I am?! I am related to the village elder so you better let go- AHHH!” A snap was heard from the child's arms before Arnin released them, letting them land weakly beside the boy. The seven year old began to cry hysterically. ”MOM! DAD!” The child screamed from the top of his lungs as tears and snot started to mix together on his face. Arnin coldly looked at the boy and spokewith a cold tone.
”Do you know why I broke your arms? Let me tell you why. When someone is talking, one should patiently wait at the side. You didn't do that, so I needed to punish you for your crimes.” Arnin said the same thing that the seven year old said to him previously ”I went easy on you for now, but next time something like this happens, your arms won't be the only thing I break!” Arnin lost his cool when the kid disturbed him. He didn't mind killing people, so why would he care about breaking another person's arms? The child was being arrogant and a hypocrite, which Arnin found to be a good excuse for his actions. He only cared about whether he could get what he wanted or not.
Everyone became silent when they saw what happened. They looked at Arnin in horror and anger. What did that kid do to get his arms broken? He only wanted to call the scholar for the lessons. What a ruthless and evil character. Just as everyone was silently looking at Arnin in fear and hatred, a couple sprinted through the entrance of the lesson area. There was worry and anger on their faces. The mother had tears falling down her face. When both parent finally got to the little boy, their eyes became even more red. They viciously looked at Arnin and released their own auras.
”Why the hell did you break his arms?! You demon child, today I will rip you to shreds!” The woman, who was most likely the mother of the seven year old, glared murderously at Arnin.
”Why did I break his arms? Let me see, why did I break his arms?” Arnin put on a pondering expression as he pretended to think of a reason. This action infuriated the parents even further, but Arnin could care less.
”Oh, now I remember. He was a little too impatient for his own good, so I needed to teach him about how one should act. Your welcome!” Arnin smiled wickedly towards the couple before releasing his own aura.
