The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 123 Loose Cultivator
Zheng Guangyuan knew that this case was definitely not a simple car accident, but what could he say to a police officer in charge of the case?
And the doctor's curiosity... How could he satisfy the doctor's curiosity? In fact, he was more curious than the doctor!
When Zheng Guangyuan walked into the ward, Tang Manli was sitting on the bed wrapped in a fur coat, facing the wall, crying silently... Zheng Guangyuan felt that those sobs were like squeezing his heart, making it hurt.

He deliberately quickened his pace, "Manli, Grandpa is here!"

Zheng Manli turned her head, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to throw herself into her grandfather's arms for comfort, but she knew that she was too cold and her grandfather was too old to bear it... She raised her hand pitifully: "Grandpa, it's broken, I'm cold!"

Zheng Guangyuan took a look and saw that it was a Maitreya Buddha pendant. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It's just a pendant. I'll take you to our jewelry store tomorrow. You can get whatever you like... By the way, didn't your grandfather Huo give you an imperial green jade Buddha statue for your birthday last year? It was blessed by Master Tan Guang."

"Different."

Zheng Manli shook her head seriously: "Those are not warm when I wear them. This one is warm, but it broke today and is not warm anymore."

"It broke today? You mean...was it fine before the car accident?"

Zheng Guangyuan asked seriously.

Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui, but Zheng Guangyuan knows that Master Tan Guang is just famous. It is hard to say whether the things he blessed are really useful. After all, it is not the time when ghosts are rampant. But he knows that his granddaughter is more sensitive in this regard. The material of this Buddha statue is ordinary, but his granddaughter said that it is warm to wear. Thinking of the doctor's puzzlement, could it be that this Buddha statue has warded off a disaster for his granddaughter?
"Yeah, I wear it at night."

Zheng Manli was still confused: "I don't know where my aunt bought it from. It would be nice if she bought another one."

"Did your aunt buy this?" Zheng Guangyuan heard the key point.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in denim shorts and a patterned shirt rushed in: "Manli, don't be afraid, your aunt is here to accompany you!"

The person who came in a hurry was Zheng Guangyuan's older daughter Zheng Qinghui. She graduated from the University of Hong Kong last year, but did not take up any serious job. She said she wanted to be a freelance photographer. She came back from the mainland some time ago and said that the mainland changes every day, so she wanted to be well prepared and take pictures of the changes in the mainland to show the Hong Kong people.

"How old are you? You're so arrogant and have no manners!"

Zheng Guangyuan was also troubled when he saw this old girl. Thinking of what his granddaughter had just said, he pointed at the broken Buddha statue and said, "Qinghui, is this what you gave to Manli?"

Zheng Qinghui leaned over and took a look: "It looks like... I gave it to you. Hey, why is it broken? Could it be... that it helped Manli avoid the car accident today?"

"Where did you invite him? Can you still invite him?" Zheng Guangyuan asked.

"I invited them to a shop in the capital. The nuts in that shop are especially delicious, and they are also made with incense..."

Zheng Qinghui danced with excitement when she talked about her last trip to the mainland.

"Get to the point!" Zheng Guangyuan became impatient.

"Really boring."

Zheng Qinghui mumbled something, and when she saw Zheng Guangyuan staring at her, she quickly got to the point: "The name of that shop is also unique, it's called... There is a small shop. This Buddha statue was bought from there, and the price is not low. The girl said it is quite effective... Hey, Manli, tell me if this is very effective?"

"Don't be unruly."

Zheng Qinghui interrupted her again: "Go ask the doctor if Manli can be discharged from the hospital."

He shouted to the door again: "Zhu Tao, help me book three tickets to the mainland."

"Yes." A response came from outside the ward, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Zhu Tao is Zheng Guangyuan's secretary. Zheng Guangyuan asked them to buy three plane tickets. It means that three people will go. Of course, there will be bodyguards and so on, but these are all arranged by him.

"Dad, I'm not ready yet!" Zheng Qinghui protested. In fact, she had already begged him a lot. Who would remain indifferent to a trip that didn't cost her own money? But the necessary sense of ritual still had to exist.

"Once you find the place, you can come back and prepare by yourself." Zheng Guangyuan answered directly.

"I……"

Zheng Qinghui felt a row of crows flying in front of her, so she simply turned around and left. Zheng Manli playfully stuck out her tongue behind her.

"Manli, are you feeling okay?" Zheng Guangyuan asked again.

Zheng Manli shook her head: "Grandpa, I'm fine. I don't want to stay in the hospital."

"Okay. After we hear what the doctor says, we'll be discharged."

Zheng Guangyuan showed a kind look on his face: "Let your aunt take you to the mainland to buy the Buddha statue that can keep you warm."

"Yeah." Zheng Manli's little face seemed to light up instantly.

……

This is a grassland, vast and boundless. It seems endless as far as the eye can see.

Ye Muxue looked at the familiar North Star in the starry sky, wondering if it was the one she was familiar with.

The scent of warm breeze drifted through the night sky, and the four seasons here seemed to be no different from the secular world... But she had been to this grassland once in her previous life, but she didn't dare to go deep into it. Some tribes on the grassland were too fierce. They believed in totems and didn't seem to be the same race as Ba Siba.

Let's talk about something else. She is lost now.

A capybara was being roasted on the bonfire in front of her.

The capybara is a low-level water-type monster. Although it is extremely weak, its meat is really good, and its fur is also very good. She likes to eat this kind of monster... It's cheap!
Although Ye Muxue's eyes were not on the campfire, the piece of rat meat was rolling freely on the campfire. Occasionally, Ye Muxue pinched a pinch of seasoning and sprinkled it over. The campfire suddenly flashed, and large drops of fat dripped onto the campfire, exuding the unique aroma of barbecue.

A group of monks suddenly appeared in the darkness. They didn't come close at first... After whispering for a while, they probably assessed that Ye Muxue was not a big threat, so they came close... But they didn't come to Ye Muxue, but stood at a distance and sent one person to say: "Daoyou, hello, we have no ill intentions. We have two wounded here. We saw your campfire and wanted to come over to rest."

Ye Muxue had long discovered that these five people... were all in the Qi Refining Stage and posed no threat to her.

"My name is Zhang Ling, and I'm the temporary captain of this team." The middle-aged man smiled.

"What do you do? How did they get hurt?"

Ye Muxue seemed to be still slightly alert. She was worried that these people had caused trouble that they could not afford to cause, and the disaster would shift to the east. "We are independent cultivators. We took a temporary commission to find the three-core orchid, but we were injured by the guardian monster... But don't worry, we have killed the monster."

The three-stamen orchid is a magical medicine that is mainly used to strengthen the physical body. The monster probably wanted to eat it itself, but in the end it itself became a food.

"My name is Ye Muxue. I got lost. It's fate that we meet in this damn grassland. Please sit down." Ye Muxue did not sense any dangerous aura from Zhang Ling, and she was not a famous person... But how she ended up on this grassland was another matter.

"My name is Tieli." A tall man sat down next to the campfire.

"Tianlan."

The only female cultivator in the team sat down next to Tieli and said, "He is my brother."

Tielan smiled sweetly. Although her skin was a little dark, she looked good, especially her smile was very friendly.

"I am Qi Qin."

A thin young man sat by the campfire in a depressed mood, as if someone owed him money.

"Mei Xiaorui."

The figure who had been hiding behind everyone appeared in front of Ye Muxue. It turned out that she was also a female cultivator... She and Qi Qin were the ones who were injured.

When they were all sitting by the campfire, Ye Muxue suddenly asked, "You know how to get out of the grassland, right?"

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Ye, how did you get lost in the grassland?"

Tieli was staring at the piece of roasted rat meat. He wished he could stuff the charred and tender meat into his mouth right away.

"Transmission failure."

Ye Muxue looked like she had lost all hope in life: "Who would have thought that I would be teleported here? Now I can only follow the direction of the North Star."

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I wonder which school of thought you follow?" Zhang Ling asked politely.

"I am just a casual cultivator." Ye Muxue said.

She changed her clothes as soon as she entered the world of cultivation. The Qiankunfang clothing store had a lot of clothes, including dozens of robes, which were clean and had simple protective functions.

Zhang Ling was chatting with Ye Muxue in a haphazard manner. He was trying hard to express that there was absolutely no conflict of interest between them, while Ye Muxue was trying to find out how to leave the grassland and avoid those barbarian tribes.

Qi Qin and Mei Xiaorui couldn't sit still anymore and lay there. Ye Muxue frowned: "Don't you have any healing pills?"

Zhang Ling smiled bitterly: "You are also a casual cultivator, don't you know that elixirs are luxury goods for us casual cultivators?"

Ye Muxue was speechless. Neither in her past life nor in this life, she had ever worried about elixirs - she was an alchemist herself, so if she ran out of them, she could just make some. As long as the medicinal materials were in sufficient supply, she could not only meet her own needs, but also find time to sell some.

However, it was different for other independent cultivators, they originally relied on their own accumulation of resources, and if they had some savings, they mostly exchanged them for elixirs that could be used for cultivation. Only when carrying out some more dangerous commissions would they exchange them for some necessary elixirs and talismans...If they did not have spirit stones, then it would all depend on their strength and luck.

"I have a few healing talismans here, if you feel at ease." Ye Muxue pretended to take out a few healing talismans from the storage bag...but actually she took them out from the storage ring.

Healing charm?
Zhang Ling and the others showed joy in their eyes, but looking at those healing talismans, Zhang Ling did not reach out for them immediately... Among the cultivators, there is a principle of equal transaction, and he and Ye Muxue are not familiar with each other, so why should he take them for free?
Seeing the expressions of the few people, Ye Muxue couldn't help but laugh, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, we will set off at daybreak. Just take me out."

As soon as Zhang Ling heard her request, he immediately felt relieved...it was so easy to do.

He immediately pulled out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Muxue: "This is a map of the distribution of grasslands, barbarian tribes and cultivation cities... To be honest, this map is very cheap. Almost everyone of us has one. It is not worth your few healing talismans. If..."

"It's worth it."

Ye Muxue reached out to take the jade slip and stuffed the healing talisman into his hand.

Mei Xiaorui and Qi Qin's injuries were mainly to their internal organs, but the external injuries were easy to treat. These healing talismans were all refined by Ye Muxue after she had established her foundation, and their power was greatly increased. After Zhang Ling slapped the two talismans on the two of them, a soft white light enveloped them... After about a cup of tea, the white light slowly dissipated, as if it had all been absorbed into the two people's bodies.

"How do you feel?" Tieli asked impatiently.

In fact, it is unnecessary to ask. The two men's faces were a little pale just now, but now they are rosy and they sat up straight. It seems that not only the external injuries have healed, but the internal injuries may also be healed.

Sure enough, after the two of them circulated their Qi for a week, they were extremely surprised: "The internal injuries have also healed. If it were the original injuries, it would take at least half a year or three months to heal. This must be a mid-level talisman."

Healing talismans are also sold on the market, but they are all very expensive and are simply not affordable for casual cultivators. Moreover, not every talisman maker can make one. Once they appear on the market, they will be sold out before casual cultivators even have a chance to see them.

The two of them wanted to thank Ye Muxue immediately, but it was then that everyone realized that Ye Muxue had disappeared, and most of the barbecued meat on the campfire was gone, except for the tenderloin.

"This senior left without a sound. If just now..."

Tielan didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant... If Ye Muxue attacked while everyone was paying attention to the injured, at least most of them would... no, all of them would die here. And she was at least a foundation-building cultivator, otherwise she would never have left quietly. You know, they were independent cultivators, and no matter how much they trusted Ye Muxue, they would always be vigilant.

There was nothing to say now. Everyone was also worried that Ye Muxue had not gone far. After saying some words of thanks, Zhang Ling counted the remaining healing talismans in his hand, which were exactly five: "So, one for each person, to save their lives in the future."

When it was Tieli's turn, they saw him gnawing on a capybara's thigh with oil dripping from his mouth. Everyone was speechless.

……

Ye Muxue did indeed leave when everyone was watching the two injured men recovering from their injuries. She had already confirmed the contents of the jade slip.

In fact, she also has a jade map, but it is of other places. A complete map of the world of cultivation may not exist, because there are some places that no one has explored so far... Even this grassland, even the barbarians living in this grassland have places that they have never explored deeply.

In fact, Ye Muxue felt a little regretful when she took out the healing talisman... She knew how precious the healing talisman was, but her confidence after rebirth made her lose some vigilance. She didn't want to test people's character... She couldn't kill them all after the treatment!

Therefore, the best solution is to just leave so that we can meet again in the future!
