The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 245. The Time freezing Capsule

In ancient times, there was a man blessed with a rare Time attribute, allowing him to glimpse one week into the future.

This unique ability elevated him to prominence, making him one of the most successful and revered figures of his era.

Yet, his extraordinary foresight brought with it unimaginable pain when he saw his beloved daughter succumbing to a mysterious illness that no known medicine could cure.

Desperate to save her, he pushed his power beyond its natural limits, gazing centuries into the future in search of hope. This act of defiance cost him his vision, leaving him blind for the rest of his life.

However, his sacrifice was not in vain. He saw a distant future where a cure for her illness would exist, but it lay thousands of years beyond his time.

Unwilling to surrender to fate, the man used his Time attribute meridians to craft an extraordinary device—the Time Stopper Capsule.

This intricate machine halted the flow of time for those inside it.

He placed his daughter within the capsule and entrusted his descendants with her care, ensuring she would remain preserved until the cure could be found.

He told his descendants to take care of her.

Generations passed, and finally, millennia later, the cure was discovered, and the daughter was saved.

The Time Stopper, now an artifact of legend, found its way to the prestigious Edo Museum. Many of them doesn’t know about the device. But the story was passed as a Myth.

Back at the hospital, tension hung thick in the air. Tyler stood before the doctor, his expression firm.

"I don’t care about the cost. Can you save her?" he demanded.

"There is... one possibility," the doctor hesitated, his voice uncertain.

"What is it?" Tyler asked, his eyes narrowing.

"The Time Stopper Capsule. It’s an ancient device on display at the Edo Museum. It could preserve her life until we find another solution."

Tyler frowned. "The Time Stopper? Isn’t that just a myth?"

"It’s real," the doctor replied. "But it’s incredibly old and fragile. It also requires vast amounts of prana and aura stones to operate, which is why no one has used it for centuries."

Turning to Astrid, Tyler asked, "Can you hold on until evening?"

Astrid, pale but resolute, nodded. "I can manage."

Without another word, Tyler left with Lily, heading straight to the Edo Museum.

"I wonder if the Time Capsule works..." Tyler murmured.

"Probably. It’s all luck" Lily replied.

"Luck huh ?.." Tyler is absolutely confident in his luck.

At the Edo Museum

The museum was a grand building, its ornate facade a testament to the priceless artifacts housed within. Tyler and Lily made their way inside, navigating the hallways until they stood before the Time Stopper Capsule.

The capsule was a seven-foot-tall device covered in ancient engravings that glowed faintly under the display lights. Despite its unassuming appearance, Tyler could feel the immense history radiating from it. This was no ordinary relic; it was a marvel of ancient craftsmanship, built to defy the laws of nature.

As Tyler examined the capsule, the museum manager approached. He was a man in his late forties, impeccably dressed and exuding an air of superiority. His lips curled into a condescending smile.

"Hello... How much is this?" Tyler asked.

The man looked at the kids. He felt little amused.

"Admiring the Time Stopper, are we? Let me save you the trouble—it’s not for sale," the manager said, his tone dripping with amusement.

Tyler met his gaze coolly. "We’ll see about that."

The manager chuckled. "This is a museum, not a marketplace. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have actual work to do."

Tyler ignored the man’s dismissive tone and turned to Lily, communicating his plan through divine sense. Together, they left the museum.

"I’ll be back," Tyler said as they exited, his words met with the manager’s mocking laughter.

An hour later, the manager was at his desk, reviewing paperwork, when his watch buzzed with an incoming call. He tapped the screen, and a holographic image of his boss appeared before him.

"Good morning, sir," the manager greeted.

The boss’s expression was serious. "I hate to break it to you, but I’m no longer your boss."

"What? Am I being fired?" the manager asked, startled.

"No, not you. Me. I sold the museum." The ex- boss said.

The manager blinked, confused. "Sold it? To who?"

"The new owner is on their way. Make sure to receive them properly. I’ve sent you their picture," the ex-boss replied before ending the call.

The manager quickly opened the file attached to the message. His jaw dropped when he saw the image.

"It’s that kid from earlier?! He’s the new owner?"

He closed the image but he can still see Tyler. Because Tyler already arrived.

Tyler walked into the museum, his demeanor calm yet commanding.

The manager scrambled to his feet, his earlier arrogance replaced with nervous deference. "H-hello, sir. I mean...boss!" he stammered, wiping sweat from his brow.

Tyler smiled faintly. "Good to see you again. Now, pack up the Time Stopper Capsule. I need it immediately."

The manager hesitated, his instincts urging him to object, but the realization of Tyler’s authority silenced him. "Right away, sir!" he said, bowing slightly before rushing to oversee the capsule’s removal.

As the staff worked to prepare the artifact for transport, the humbled manager approached Tyler cautiously. "Is there...anything else I can do for you, sir?"

"Just make sure the capsule is handled with care," Tyler replied, his tone firm but not unkind.

"I apologize for early rudeness." The manager bowed.

Tyler waved his hand as he didn’t even care about it. His only goal is the capsule.

The manager nodded fervently, grateful for the opportunity to redeem himself in his new boss’s eyes.

Afters some time

The manager stood in the now-empty display hall, staring at the vacant spot where the Time Stopper Capsule had once been. He sighed deeply, reflecting on the day’s events.

He had always prided himself on his position, relishing the authority it gave him over others. But today, he had been reminded that power and status were fleeting.

"That kid," he muttered to himself, shaking his head. "No...that Boss. He taught me some lessons I won’t forget."

The lessons he learned are

’Never judge a person with looks or age.’ and ’Money is Ultimate’.

Back at the hospital, the capsule was carefully brought in and prepared for use. Though ancient and delicate, the Time Stopper was still functional, its engravings glowing faintly as it absorbed prana and aura stones.

Astrid, though visibly weaker, managed a faint smile as she saw the capsule. "You really did it," she murmured.

"Of course," Tyler said, his voice gentle. "You just focus on staying strong."

As the doctors began the process of transferring the patient into the capsule, Tyler turned to Lily.

"This better work," he muttered.

"It will," Lily replied confidently. "You’ve done everything you can. Now, it’s up to them."

"But still there is another problem." The doctor said.

"Now what?" Tyler asked.

"If the heart is not replaced in 2 days. The poison will affect her brain and it will be impossible to save her." The doctor said.

"Then make one... Faster." Tyler said.

"But it’s not easy. The cloning facility is closed due to sudden accident. The only way is to go to another city and bring back in time." The doctor said.

"I will go... This time I will personally go." Tyler said with determination. He can’t let any accident to happen.
