The Talented Doctor 31 Ancient Spiritual Being

When He Xi raised her eyes and met with the elder's, her eyes were still filled with distance and alertness. However, she met with a pair of friendly, hopeful, and kind eyes; in his eyes, there were hopes and blessings but no calculations and plans—which made He Xi's stone heart flutter slightly.

"This s.p.a.ce is made from my spiritual body. For the past millions of years, I have been searching for the true owner of the s.p.a.ce and had made it the body for many fated people. However, you're the only one that can upgrade it. Now, what you see of the s.p.a.ce is only a very, very small part of it."

Suddenly, He Xi thought of the numerous times the s.p.a.ce had saved her life in the previous era. Even if it was filled with manipulations and calculations, the help she received was true and genuine so her gaze towards Elder Meru grew more grateful.

Elder Meru smiled slightly when he saw that her gaze became warmer. "He Xi, when your cultivation improves, you will see how the s.p.a.ce truly looks like. That's the grotto-heaven and pocket treasure that will really cause all the people in the cultivating world to scrabble for."

Based on He Xi's personality—when she heard this, she could not help but be tempted and thought of the future scene.

However, she quickly woke up from her beautiful dream. After all, without true capabilities, all the Dharma treasures in the world would only be precious stones that would land its owner in jail.

She pointed at the gigantic egg. "What's that thing?"

"Ahem… that's an ancient spiritual being which has been sealed," Elder Meru said wisely. "The spiritual being is the source of all the spirits in the world. It is a magical being that can create and destroy the spirits. From the moment you woke it up, you have already been tied to it with a life-and-death contract. You have the same heart and same source, and you will live and die with it. Even any fiends' curses are unable to cut your connections…"

"Wait! Hold up!" He Xi could not help but widen her eyes in shock. "What life-and-death contract? Why don't I know about it? When did this happen? Besides, this is clearly an egg. Are you trying to trick me by making me live and die by the egg?"

Besides, what spiritual being? What magical being? It sounded formidable; it seemed like she heard what he said but did not understand him. What exactly was this?

"Mother, Baby isn't an egg. Wuwuwu… Baby is Mother's beloved baby… wuwuwu…"

At that moment, He Xi's head hurt, and she could not help but comfort the egg baby.

Elder Meru laughed aloud. "Once upon a time, people in the world would do anything—topple the world and sacrifice their souls—just to get this life-and-death contract; and yet you think that you're at a disadvantage. He Xi, child, don't worry. Having a contract with the spiritual being will only be advantageous to you. When you're facing a life-and-death scenario, you'll see my point."

He Xi comforted the gigantic egg and heaved a sigh of relief. When she heard what he said, she was not too surprised and only smiled slightly.

Was he not implying that He Xi was indifferent to fame and fortune, and the people in the world could only see all the benefits and fight because of it? However, they did not know that there were no free lunches in the world. The bigger the advantage they received, the bigger the responsibilities they had to carry. There were no pure advantages to speak of.
