Chapter 79: The Unseeable Person and the Nonexistent Third Floor

"I'm really stupid, really, I only knew the cancer had mutated, it wouldn't harm me in DC, but I forgot this is Marvel."

Su Qing sat on the steps beside the temple's training ground, as if possessed by Xiang Lin Sao.

A ray of sunlight pierced the clouds and fell on Su Qing, dispelling the chill on his body, but it could not dispel the gloom in his heart; even after the perfect source blood had been completely devoured and merged, Su Qing's heart felt no ripple.

It seemed as if he had seen some problem.

Su Qing's expression changed; he ignored the gazes of those around him, merely his eyes flickering as he stared fixedly at his own chest.

【Primordial Bloodline: level unknown, currently having devoured and merged high-level vampire bloodline, ancestral vampire source blood, and perfect source blood. The bloodline is currently suffering continuous interference and inducement from an unknown curse, causing a minor backlash against oneself every seven days, resulting in bodily weakness, cold stomach, and limp limbs; and a major backlash once every month, causing blood turbulence and a sharp decline in self-healing ability.】

"Unknown curse?" "Now I understand."

After coming to this world, he began spitting blood for no reason, initially thinking he had suffered internal injuries during the transmigration, believing his self-healing would soon cure it, so he didn't pay much attention.

Especially after Su Qing discovered Ancient One's youthful form 'Yao', he completely cast aside the notion of internal injury.

Ancient One, Su Qing, who had watched all Marvel movies, knew this figure like thunder in his ears; the Supreme Sorcerer who punched Dormammu and shook the multiverse for hundreds of years, a big shot—now seeing him in person, still in his youthful form, who wouldn't be excited?

But……

Su Qing read his bloodline information again, only feeling that life is unpredictable, like the large intestine wrapping the small intestine.

Having watched the Marvel series films, he naturally knows that in Marvel there is a very brainless setting: that in Marvel, cancer is a true fatal illness—no matter who you are, once you get cancer, there is only a dead end.

He especially remembers that in the movie 'Thor 2', the goddess Thor got cancer, and even Asgard had no ability to treat it, relying only on Thor's meow-meow hammer to barely prolong life.

At first seeing this, Su Qing bluntly said this was the plot written by that idiot.

Afterward, he also specially went to browse Baidu to look it up thoroughly.

Finally he understood that in Marvel, cancer can be said to be a conceptual disease, a curse, a manifestation of cosmic rules—no matter how advanced technology is, it cannot be cured.

Thinking of this setting, Su Qing felt a toothache.

If this were in the DC world, cancer would be trivial, easily cured; moreover, his cancer had already mutated and would no longer harm himself.

But now that he has come to Marvel, because his originally benign primordial bloodline is essentially still cancer, under this world's melodramatic setting, he is now affected by the rules and begins to backlash against himself.

"Damn!" Su Qing could no longer hold back and cursed silently.

In Marvel, cancer can actually be treated; just Su Qing knows of four methods:

First is the Reality Stone; using it to modify oneself, there's a high chance of curing cancer;

Second is Scarlet Witch Wanda; her chaos magic can modify reality, directly saying 'What cancer' can erase the concept of cure;

Third is more troublesome: in some dimension of Marvel there is a potion called the Reviving Elixir that can cure any disease; finding it and drinking it can cure cancer;

Fourth is the most difficult: cancer is part of the immortality and death rules of Marvel's five creator gods (the cancer setting is very complex—some say it's a curse of the multiverse, some say it's death…… anyway, many things; I just randomly picked one to write), as long as you kill those two, you can cure cancer.

But the problem is, none of these four methods are something he can currently accomplish.

According to time, the Reality Stone should already be hidden in some space on Earth; no need to even think about it being hidden by Odin's father; Scarlet Witch Wanda hasn't been born yet, so no need to think about it; as for the latter two, just think about them—he currently lacks the relevant ability and strength.

Moreover, even if there were an opportunity to treat cancer, Su Qing wouldn't dare try.

Because his primordial bloodline has already become benign, yet it is still his most important component; if he were to treat it and accidentally cause problems with his primordial bloodline, he would cry himself to death.

Although the probability is small, Su Qing still dares not gamble.

So, after all said and done, there's still no way; he can only rely on himself to endure it.

Really……

Forget it; overthinking is useless; now he can only take things one step at a time.

Shaking his head, Su Qing composed himself and opened the light screen; seeing that the Celtic language progress had reached sixty percent, it would be fully downloaded in another three or four hours.

Looks like there's still a wait.

Having heard Master Wu Chan's earlier words, one can freely tour; since there's nothing else to do, now is a good time to stroll around.

This temple is not large, covering only two hundred square meters; it has a solemn main hall housing statues; three stone rooms: one is the meditation chamber where the three masters usually stay, one is the kitchen, one is the disciples' dormitory; finally, there is a three-story small building that serves as the scripture library.

Su Qing had no interest in gods and buddhas, and the other three rooms held nothing of interest either, so he planned to go look at the sutra library.

Just as he rose, he saw the four people on the training ground had already awakened, currently exchanging something.

He was curious, but couldn't speak Celtic, so he didn't go over.

Instead, he went around a few people and entered the sutra library.

Just after entering the gate, what met his eyes were several wooden racks holding some bamboo slips, animal skins, and books.

Su Qing walked over, casually picked up a volume and opened it; discovering the contents were written in some strange script, he couldn't understand it at all.

Seeing that, he also lost interest in flipping through other books.

"I wonder what's placed on the upper two floors?"

Su Qing wandered around the first floor, came to the stairs to the second floor, thought a bit, then went up.

The stairs weren't long, only about ten or so steps; soon he reached the second floor.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yao was also here.

Seeing the girl earnestly wiping the scriptures, Su Qing felt a bit surprised, stepped forward and asked: "Aren't you supposed to be cultivating? Why are you here?"

"This is cultivation!" Yao continued her hand movements without pause, glanced at him, and said lightly.

"?" Su Qing didn't really understand this way of cultivation; he could only smile and stay silent, then wandered around aimlessly.

How to put it! The arrangement of the second floor is about the same as the first—also two or three bookshelves holding some scriptural volumes.

Seeing nothing worth looking at, he thought about going up to the third floor to have a look.

Turning his head to glance at the busy girl, Su Qing intended to say something to her.

"Yao, go ahead and keep busy; I'll go up and have a look."

Hearing this, Yao paused her hand movements, furrowed her brows, and asked: "Can you see?"

"See what?" Su Qing was confused by her words.

Yao thought for a moment and said: "The sutra library only has two floors! At least to other people's eyes, it only has two floors."

Hearing her words, Su Qing still didn't grasp the meaning; he hurriedly stayed away from the third-floor stairs, curiously looking at Yao, and asked: "When did you discover that?"

"I discovered it when I was very young." Yao Dandan replied.

"Have you been up there?"

"No!"

Su Qing was somewhat surprised: "Why?"

This time Yao remained silent for a while before answering: "I don't want to take risks!"

Well, that reason is very genuine and also very realistic.

Su Qing's thoughts turned, and he said: "Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"……" Yao looked at him, saying nothing.

Su Qing patted his chest, looking confident: "I'm very capable; even if there is any danger, I can handle it, I can protect you."

I don't know whether it's because he had long wanted to go up and see, or because he has Su Qing as company.

Yao thought for a moment, then nodded.
