The System of the Immortal
Wandering In the Realm of the Cultivator VIII Land
After spreading his spiritual awareness to the limit he could, Fang Li Dao clucked in annoyance at not finding a single source of water around him.
"This net smell is so disgusting, I'm not strong." Fang Li Dao constantly felt like vomiting, he then darted swiftly through the surrounding trees.
It had been an entire hour of Fang Li Prayer running nonstop, he finally saw the end of the forest he had been waiting for.
When he came out of the forest, Fang Li Dao found a village that was quite large. A wide smile was engraved on his face as he found a well on the outside of the village.
"I'll clean up this disgusting spider web before looking for lodgings in the village." Fang Li Dao shot towards the well, and when he arrived he immediately opened the wooden cover that covered the well and began to take water in the well by weighing it using a rope and bucket.
Without thinking much more, Fang Li Dao immediately washed his body with the first drop of water, and he did so repeatedly.
What Fang Li Dao did caught the attention of some residents in the village, they were watching the 8-year-old from a distance while putting on a bad expression.
After drawing the eighth water, Fang Li Dao stopped the activity when he realized that there were many pairs of eyes watching him from a distance.
"My feeling or are they staring at me with a bad expression?" Fang Li Dao muttered, he thought that he made a mistake because he had filled up their water, "Ah, are they upset that I am using water in this well?" Fang Li Dao wondered inwardly, he began to think of giving them the compensation money for having used the well without permission.
Fang Li Dao then again closed the well with a wooden cover, as he wanted to get away from there - the sound of a call was heard in his ear.
"Young man, stop..."
Fang Li Dao turned his head towards the source of the voice and he found an old grandfather coming towards him along with two middle-aged men behind him.
"Little child... Where are you from?" the old man asked when he was already near Fang Li Dao.
Fang Li Dao himself was silent for a moment hearing that, then replied, "I am from a village in the north, grandfather."
"Ah, it turns out that you are an outsider, yes." the old man nodded his head repeatedly before staring at the well not far from where he was, "Do you know what well this is?"
Fang Li Dao flinched and he hurriedly lowered his body, "I'm sorry grandfather for using this well without permission, I'm ready to provide the proper compensation!" Fang Li Dao apologized sincerely.
"Hm?" the old man slightly raised his eyebrows, "It seems you misunderstood the little boy." he said and immediately ran over, "Actually this well has never been used by villagers because this well is known as a cursed well."
Fang Li Dao was a little surprised to hear that, he turned his gaze on the well for a moment then looked back at the old man in front of him, "What kind of damned, cake? I don't think there's anything odd about the well." asked Fang Li Dao curiously.
The old grandfather seemed hesitant to answer him, until he finally let out a heavy sigh and began to briefly explain, "The damned part of the well is, anyone who has used the water in the well - he will die within 24 hours."
Hearing that made Fang Li Dao choke on his own breath, he saw the look on the old grandfather's face in front of him was very serious and made him hesitate to think that he was lying to him.
The atmosphere became silent for quite some time, Fang Li Dao was quite frightened after hearing the news, "Has there been any casualties from this cursed well?" asked Fang Li Dao curiously.
"Of course, if not - how is the well known as a cursed well?" the old man shook his head helplessly, he thought a child was still a child.
Fang Li Dao scratched his non-itchy head while smiling bitterly when he heard that, he then again asked, "How did the victim die?"
"If it's not wrong, the victim's body will be torn to shreds to remove his internal organs, and both eyeballs and tongue in his mouth will disappear as if taken by something." replied the old man in detail.
The old grandfather put on a sad face and made Fang Li Dao's uneasy feelings grow bigger, "I'm sorry, son. It's been over a hundred years since the damned well existed and I've never heard of anyone ever escaping death."
A cold sweat started to appear on Fang Li Dao's face, his heart pounding incoherently and he began to feel a fear that he had never felt in his entire life.
Fang Li Dao scratched his non-itchy head, of all possibilities-there was only one explanation he thought made the most sense, "It seems not a curse but the work of a subtle creature."
"Smooth creatures? How do you know that?" asked the old man with a slightly surprised look on his face.
"Ah, I was just second-guessing." Fang Lin replied, and he asked, "Did grandfather from the beginning know that the one who did it was a subtle creature?"
"I'm still not sure, but there are some rumors that the cursed well is indeed inhabited by very powerful spirits."
Fang Li Dao was silent for a long time after hearing it, he then shook his head and chose to think about it later.
"Thank you for the information, Grandpa." Fang Li Dao lowered his body, then asked, "By the way, cake. Is there an inn in the village?"
The old man slightly raised his eyebrows, he felt astonished to see that Fang Li Dao already did not look frightened anymore, "There is one inn here, but grandfather thought the owner would not accept you..."
Since Fang Li Dao had already been struck by a curse, surely the innkeeper would not be willing to accept it because if the little boy was dead - he would be bothered to take care of the corpse.
Fang Li Dao's countenance became grim when he heard that, "So, yes... In that case, I let go first, cake." Fang Li Dao's voice sounded limp, he turned around and was about to leave from there.
"Stay in my house, son. But on condition, you have to leave an hour before the curse is active..."
Of course the words that the old geezer spoke immediately made the two middle-aged men behind him shocked.
"Dad, it seems like it was an exaggerated act. What if he dies sooner before the Akitf curse? That'll be a big deal for us."
"That's right, dad. Think about it..."
"My decision is unanimous, no one will protest if you still want to stay at my father's house."
The two middle-aged men instantly became silent when they heard him, they let out a long sigh and resigned themselves to what was happening in front of him.
Fang Li Dao immediately turned his head towards the old man, and a wide smile was engraved clearly on his face, "Of course I will, cake." he replied without a second thought.
"Hohoho... All right, then-let's follow me." The old man turned around, and he walked into the village.
Fang Li Dao nodded quickly, he followed the old grandfather from behind along with the two middle-aged men nearby.
