Deal

Ling Fan was somewhat surprised to see that the little girl was actually half a head taller than himself. He had not expected her to be that tall, as she had appeared small while curled up.

Sighing inwardly about his own height, Ling Fan looked at the strong-willed little girl. He realized that with her current condition, she wouldn't be able to walk on her own. So, he decided to carry her on his back.

"Climb on!" Ling Fan commanded, with an authoritative tone.

The little girl hesitated but dared not disobey. She reluctantly climbed onto Ling Fan's back.

Despite the little girl being taller than Ling Fan, she didn't weigh much. Ling Fan estimated that she was around 18 kilograms, which was considered thin. It met the standard for a thin girl.

As Ling Fan and the girl were about to leave, a necromancer immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, please wait!"

Master? When did I become a master again?

"What do you want?" Ling Fan asked in a calm tone.

"I am Faraday. May I have the opportunity to speak further with the Master?" Faraday asked humbly.

"Well, tell me where?" Ling Fan noticed that there were many necromancers surrounding him, and he wasn't used to being studied like this. Usually, he was the one studying others, not the other way around.

"Please come this way, Master!" Faraday respectfully led Ling Fan into a private room.

Besides Faraday, there were three other necromancers who followed Ling Fan into the room.

"What do you want to discuss? Just say it!" Ling Fan spoke first, his tone remaining calm.

"We don't have any specific matter. We were just amazed by the Master's unique healing skills today and hoped that the Master could enlighten us," Faraday said humbly, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in his expression.

"It's not a problem for me to guide you, but the question is, what benefit do I get from guiding you?" Ling Fan was always straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush. And of course, his other characteristic was that he would only take advantage of others and had never let anyone take advantage of him.

Ahh...Faraday was at a loss for words when questioned.

The other three necromancers looked at each other, unable to make a decision.

Seeing their silence, Ling Fan didn't want to waste any more time and said, "Well, you can take your time to think about it. Let me know when you have made up your minds. I have other things to do and need to leave now."

As Ling Fan got up to leave, Faraday hurriedly said, "Master, please wait. Master, you don't know... as necromancers, we are not as wealthy as magicians, so we don't know how to reward the Master. But if there is something that the Master wants, no matter how difficult it is to obtain, we will do what we can to fulfill Master's wish"

"I'm curious, why do you value me so much?" Ling Fan asked.

"Master may not know, but as necromancers, we all have the danger of 'Dark Backlash.' The pain caused by it is unbearable for ordinary people. It can be said to be a serious illness that terrifies us necromancers. Today, witnessing the Master's ability to heal 'Dark Backlash' is simply a miracle for us..."

Faraday talked endlessly, and in the end, Ling Fan finally understood. The so-called "Dark Backlash" could occur to any necromancer at any time, bringing unbearable pain. Therefore, these people wanted Ling Fan to teach them the method of complete cure so that they could bid farewell to this serious illness.

However, was Ling Fan the kind of person who will do things that will not benefit him? No, clearly not!

Ling Fan remained silent for a while and finally said, "It's not that I want to disappoint you, but even if I want to teach you, you may not be able to learn it. Even if you can learn it, you may not be able to apply it clinically because it involves a lot of theoretical knowledge that would take years to learn."

Ling Fan didn't deceive them. Although he cured the little girl in just a few moves, it was far from being as simple as it appeared. Just the precise manipulation of the acupuncture points alone was difficult to learn. Moreover, to learn this healing method, one must have profound internal energy. Looking at these old folks, it would be better to let them be reborn and cultivate their internal energy rather than making them cultivate it at their age. And the most important thing was that in the field of medical treatment, one could never learn it without extensive medical experience, regardless of theoretical knowledge.

Ling Fan was able to pick it up so quickly because of his extensive research and experimentation in the cultivation world. Therefore, his healing technique was not suitable for them to learn.

"So, what should we do? Is there really no solution?" one of the necromancers asked in despair.

"There is a solution, but here's what we'll do: after I return, I'll develop a medicine specifically for treating 'Dark Backlash.' How does that sound? It will be faster and more practical than learning my treatment method," Ling Fan suggested.

"Master, do you really have a way to craete a medicine capable of treating 'Dark Backlash"? Faraday asked excitedly.

"I'm about 80-90% confident! The only problem is that I don't know how your so-called 'Dark Backlash' is formed. If I can know the cause, the chances of developing the corresponding medicine will be higher. So, if you trust me, please find me some books regarding details about necromancers, the more detailed, the better. This way, I can develop the medicine faster," Ling Fan tempted.

In fact, through his treatment of the little girl, Ling Fan already had a full understanding of "Dark Backlash" and had come up with several formulas if he were to make the medicine for it. The reason he wanted some books about necromancers was out of curiosity.

"There's no problem with that. Master, please take any books you find useful from my bookshelf. The more, the better. We trust you, Master". Faraday said.

"Alright, I won't be polite then". Ling Fan said as he started to pick some books from the bookshelf.

Actually, when Ling Fan entered the room, his greedy eyes had already been fixed on these books on the bookshelf. With his addictive personality for studying new things, he wouldn't miss this opportunity.

According to Ling Fan's character, he would want to take all these books, but now he was carrying someone on his back and didn't have any storage tools with him. It was absolutely impossible to take all these books.

"I'll just take these two books for now. If I need any other books, I'll come back next time. Is that okay with you?" Ling Fan's suggestion was quite clever, as it left himself a "back door" for future opportunities to take more books.

Faraday and the others were in a position where they had to rely on Ling Fan, so they couldn't complain. Besides, these books were not considered treasures to them. Even if they were all given to Ling Fan, they wouldn't feel any loss.

"That's fine. We'll be waiting for you, Master," Faraday said.

"Okay, I'll make the antidote as soon as possible," Ling Fan said.

"Thank you, Master." Faraday said and then took out a black iron token from his sleeve. "Master, this is our advanced VIP token. Please accept it, and we hope you can come often." Faraday handed Ling Fan the advanced VIP token, and Ling Fan accepted it without hesitation.
