Chapter 8 Finding a Solution
Li Wei took out the purification crystal, poured in his spiritual power, and activated it with all his might. In a short while, he once again dispelled the ferocious mutation on Qianzi's body.
Seeing that Qianzi had returned to normal, Li Wei did not show the slightest smile on his face, and even Magnus did not show the slightest joy.
They all clearly realized that although the mutation of flesh and blood had been temporarily dispelled, that cold and evil aura had taken deep root in the depths of their souls.
Magnus's expression was one of near despair, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Li Wei, don't be discouraged, there will definitely be a way. If all else fails, I will personally venture into the warp and seek the antidote from those ancient beings."
"No, Your Excellency Archmage! The warp is rife with traps and lies; any deal made there always comes at a terrible price."
Li Wei hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
He knew all too well what kind of tactic this was.
It is highly likely that Tzeentch has personally intervened, secretly tempting Magnus to exchange his eyes for the so-called "antidote".
He took a deep breath, looked firmly at Magnus, and continued:
"Give me three days, and I'll definitely come up with a solution."
Seeing the unwavering determination in Levi's eyes, Magnus felt reassured.
"good."
After receiving Magnus's promise, Livy returned to the library of the Pyramid of Phaepe.
Since successfully saving Qianzi last time, he has settled in the Pyramid of Futaipu because the library there has more and more valuable books.
Li Wei sat down by the window, pondered for a moment, and then opened the wizard forum in the system.
He posted a thread in the "Newbie Help Section" of the forum, describing in detail the mutation of Qianzi's flesh and blood, and asking if there was a way to completely solve the problem.
Two hours after the post was published, there were only three replies.
[First floor: Newbies, don't post this kind of useless stuff. For the issue of the Abyss God's corruption, please refer to post number 37 in the pinned post.]
[Second floor: I suggest you just run away. A world targeted by an evil god is beyond saving.]
[Third Floor: Selling a complete Tier 1 Wizard's Legacy for only 30,000 points. DM me if interested.]
Li Wei's lips twitched as he looked at the three meaningless replies.
He then realized that he was just a low-level infiltrator, with only the newbie zone's speaking privileges on the wizard forum.
His post was instantly buried by a massive amount of information, and no real big shots would ever see it.
Just as he was about to close the forum, a private message popped up.
The sender was "Morlin Wizard," whose profile picture was of an old man wearing a pointed hat. His personal profile read, "Expert in research on evil god curses, with experience in purifying hundreds of planes."
[Morlin Wizard: Young man, I saw your post. The situation you've encountered is very unusual; it's not ordinary corruption by an evil god, but a blood curse personally cast by that evil god.]
[Li Wei: Do you have a solution?]
[Merlin the Wizard: Of course. But this level of curse is useless with remote casting; I have to go there in person. Send me the coordinates of this world and grant me world access, and I'll be there right away.]
Li Wei's finger stopped on the screen, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
Open world permissions?
He recalled the rumors he had heard in the wizarding world.
Some so-called "veteran wizards" enter unexplored worlds under the guise of helping, then sell the world coordinates to wizarding academies or directly occupy them, treating the natives as slaves.
This wizard, Morin, seems kind-hearted, but he's actually full of evil intentions.
[Li Wei: Sorry, I don't have permission to reveal world coordinates.]
He had barely sent the message when the other party replied immediately, their tone turning unfriendly.
[Morlin the Wizard: Young man, don't be ungrateful. No one but me can break this curse. If you don't cooperate, you'll all die when that evil god fully descends.]
[Merlin the Wizard: I'll give you one more day to consider. If I haven't received the world coordinates by this time tomorrow, you'll face the consequences.]
Li Wei turned off private messages, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
He knew that there was no free lunch in the wizarding world.
Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly remembered someone.
He opened his friends list, found the profile picture of the blonde little girl, and sent her a message.
[Li Wei: Wizard Elizabeth, excuse me. I've encountered a problem and would like to ask you for advice.]
He didn't have high hopes, after all, Elizabeth had never replied to his messages before.
Unexpectedly, this time, the other party replied in just one minute.
[Ellie: Say it.]
Li Wei quickly recounted the details of the Thousand Sons' flesh mutation and the matter of the wizard Morin.
It took a while before Elizabeth sent a message.
[Ellie: Morin is a repeat offender who specializes in trafficking coordinates from unexplored worlds.]
[Elizabeth: Send me the mutated flesh and blood; I'll study it and confirm the details.]
Li Wei quickly took out a test tube containing the flesh and blood of the Thousand Sons and sent it to Elizabeth.
This was a piece of flesh and blood of the thousand sons that he had previously cut off under the guise of research.
Actually, it was an extra piece of flesh that he had when he sold the Thousand Sons Curse to the system store.
This curse sold over 5,000 hub points.
About half an hour later, Li Wei received a reply.
[Ellie: This curse truly cannot be cured. It's a soul-blood curse personally cast by the Abyss God, a mark imprinted with His own divine power. As long as He exists, the curse will never disappear.]
[Elizabeth: However, there is a way to suppress it. He uses a curse rooted in blood; you can suppress it with the blood of a god of equal rank, but can you find such a god and get him to offer a single drop of his blood?]
Li Wei paused upon seeing the message.
He wondered what other god in the Warhammer universe could rival Tzeentch's Chaos power and willingly offer his blood.
The next second, his somewhat dazed gaze caught sight of the golden warship in mid-air.
He instantly set his sights on the emperor.
Although the emperor always said he was not a god, he would surely become a god someday.
I believe his blood is no different from that of the gods.
Li Wei, regaining his composure, immediately replied:
Li Wei: I have a way.
[Elizabeth: Okay, this requires a matching formation, which I can provide.]
Just as Li Wei was about to send a message of thanks, Elizabeth sent another message.
[Elizabeth: This formation requires 5,000 points. Also, from now on, sell all the demons you capture to me first; the price will be 20% higher than in the system shop. Especially the kind of demon you captured last time.]
Li Wei couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message.
That's more like it. That's the style of the wizarding world: there's no help without a reason, only transactions with clear prices.
Li Wei: No problem.
He immediately transferred 5,000 points over.
Immediately afterwards, a set of blueprints was traded over.
[Elizabeth: Also, don't tell anyone I helped you. My father will be furious if he finds out I'm still in contact with an apprentice who was sold.]
Li Wei: Okay.
Li Wei shut down the system, feeling a sense of relief. Sure enough, acquaintances are always the most reliable.
Although it costs money, at least you won't get ripped off.
He took a deep breath, stood up, straightened his robe, and turned to find Magnus.
