Mr. Cole smiled awkwardly and said, “I could, but my hands are tied.”
“Why?”
“There are two reasons. First of all, I belong to the House of Vistaria. According to the rules, I can’t interfere with Lord Vedastus’s affairs. Secondly, I have to sacrifice some people and turn them into Plant Humans in order to create an antidote. This kind of act of sacrificing some people to save others is not what I am after…”
Thomas sighed as what favonovel.com said was true.
What was the point of sacrificing someone’s life to create an antidote?
Besides, what it created was not a real antidote. It only had a temporary effect and was not a cure for the disease.
Thomas then asked, “Master, do you have a way to create a real antidote?”
Mr. Cole shook his head. “I don’t know. I can only be sure whether a real antidote can be created after I know what exactly are Heart Eater’s ingredients.”
‘Heart Eater’s ingredients?’
Thomas frowned in confusion and asked, “Isn’t the Heart Eater’s ingredients the ‘Hell Flower’ that blooms from absorbing the essence of the human body?”
Mr. Cole shook his finger. “You’re only half-right…”
He looked around and said in a low voice, “The ingredients of the current antidote are indeed Hell Flower. But the ingredients of Heart Eater have other things besides Hell Flower.”
“What is it?”
Next, Mr. Cole said a name that Thomas had never thought of.
“This name was… Ancestral Water…”
After hearing these two words from Mr. Cole’s mouth, the expression on Thomas’s face changed completely.
Ancestral Water? How could it be Ancestral Water?
Mr. Cole said, “Actually, I also don’t know what the specific situation is. The information I know so far is that the Heart Eater is an extreme poison made from Ancestral Water and Hell Flower… I guess the reason why Lord Vedastus poached Elliot from me is to provide favonovel.com with Ancestral Water and create something disgusting like Heart Eater!”
“So, Thomas, if you really want to create an antidote to completely heal the Heart Eater, you must also have the Ancestral Water besides Hell Flower. As for Hell Flower, I can teach you the grafting techniques, and you can get it after mastering it… But I can’t help you with Ancestral Water.”
Thomas understood it and was very grateful. Everything Mr. Cole said was the most important secret of Celandine City, and they must not be told simply to anyone.
Mr. Cole actually had his own reasons for telling Thomas about these things.
This was because the House of Vistaria would definitely not get involved in the affairs of Celandine City and would not go against Lord Vedastus. Telling Thomas about these things was actually equivalent to turning oneself into an enemy of Lord Vedastus.
This was not allowed. But Mr. Cole did not care. He was dying soon, so what else should favonovel.com care about?
“I’ve told you everything I can tell you… Let’s not talk about such dark matters anymore. Now, let me pass on all the knowledge of the third level of grafting to you. To what extent you can master and cultivate depends on your own ability.”
So, in the next few hours, Mr. Cole taught Thomas everything favonovel.com knew.
The third level of grafting was to graft Hell Flowers onto humans. Ninety percent of its operations were similar to grafting with small animals.
There were only a few differences.
