The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 192 Survivors

Soon, as her footsteps drew closer, her coughing grew louder and louder.

This further convinced her that there were still survivors, but their condition was not good.

"This is a toddler's arm."

In her line of sight, she saw a body buried beneath the collapsed house, but only a thin, frail arm was visible, suggesting it belonged to a child of seven or eight years old.

The collapse occurred at one of the four corners of the house, creating a unique collapse structure that allowed people to survive.

She raised her hand and lifted the collapsed wall, revealing a little boy covered in blood and dust in front of her.

She quickly stepped forward to check the injuries.

"Fortunately, it was just a scratch. I did suffer some shock."

She searched through her storage bag and found several pills with relatively mild medicinal properties, specifically for healing purposes, which were not yet at the level of first-tier spiritual medicines.

For ordinary people, it is an invaluable treasure.

After she fed him the pill, the boy quickly woke up.

The boy was still somewhat dazed when he woke up.

He looked around for a moment, then finally fixed his gaze on her.

"Are you an immortal?" the boy asked, bewildered, but the sadness in his eyes was heartbreaking.

"I am not an immortal, but merely a cultivator," Chen Jinshu said, glancing at the little boy.

"A cultivator like Uncle City Lord?"

"Ok!"

As soon as Chen Jinshu nodded, the boy knelt down in front of her with a thud, his knees immediately becoming covered in blood.

The sound of her knees falling was crisp and clear, and it also stirred up Chen Jinshu's complex emotions at that moment.

"Please, Immortal Master, accept me as your disciple."

"I have no intention of taking on disciples!" Chen Jinshu was also surprised that the little boy directly asked her to be his teacher.

However, she is currently struggling to take care of herself, so how could she possibly take on apprentices?

None of her senior brothers and sisters have taken on any disciples yet.

After lifting the little boy's legs, she gently said to him, "As for whether you can cultivate, that depends on whether you have the affinity for immortality!"

As Chen Jinshu spoke, she immediately tested the boy's spiritual root. Although she didn't have a more accurate spiritual root testing plate, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was still able to probe the boy's spiritual root.

After examining the boy for a moment, she found a faint spiritual root in his abdomen.

"You have spiritual roots, but they're not very strong."

"Am I just not good enough?" Upon hearing this, the boy immediately slumped down, his gaze falling on the two mangled corpses in the corner of the room, a few tears glistening in his eyes.

"Don't be sad. There are spiritual objects in the cultivation world that can enhance one's aptitude. The strength of one's spiritual root only determines the starting point, not the height you can reach."

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

"Since you know the city lord, do you know any other survivors?" Chen Jinshu suddenly thought of something and asked.

"All I know is that my life was saved by Uncle City Lord. Just now, that villain came to massacre the city, and I was playing outside when I met Uncle City Lord. He told me to squat in the corner."

Chen Jinshu glanced at the boy and saw a talisman that had lost its effect where the boy had been standing.

"So it was a concealment talisman."

Chen Jinshu immediately understood what was going on. It must be that the boy had encountered the city lord, who wanted to leave some people behind for Yulian City. So he used the talisman on his body and, by chance, saved the little boy.

"However, I remember that the city lord's mansion seems to have a wine cellar."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu seemed to have discovered some hope again, and immediately picked up the little boy and flew towards the city lord's mansion.

Guided by the little boy, she found the wine cellar of the city lord's mansion. She could faintly sense a soft breathing sound coming from below the cellar.

She simply lifted the lid of the wine cellar door, eliciting an expression of envy and admiration from the little boy beside her.

'Ah! Father, is that you?'

The moment the wine cellar lid was opened, a weak girl's voice came out.

She glanced over and saw two children crouching in a dark corner of the wine cellar, trembling with fear.

"It's alright. The bad guys have already escaped!"

"Ah Qing! Ah Yan! It's the immortals who have come to save us. Don't be afraid!" The little boy realized who the survivors in the wine cellar were and immediately stepped forward to say.

"Ah Ming, is that you?" Chen Qing asked in a slightly trembling voice, her tone much braver than before.

“It’s me!” Wen Ming quickly replied.

The once peaceful and prosperous Yulian City was destroyed, and the fact that there were one or two survivors was a rare blessing for Wen Ming.

Without saying a word, Chen Jinshu immediately rescued the two of them.

The moment the two men saw Chen Jinshu, they immediately knelt down before her.

"Chen Yan pays respects to the immortal."

"Chen Qing pays homage to the immortals"

"So your names are Chen Yan and Chen Qing. Nice names! Did your father leave you anything behind when he left you here?"

"Yes! My father left a brocade pouch, saying it was for an immortal. If an immortal comes, he will give it to you."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Jinshu with a mixture of admiration and curiosity, and handed her the red brocade pouch hidden in his chest.

She took it, examined it for a moment, and felt a mix of emotions.

Before leaving, the city lord foresaw the fate of Yulian City.

Hoping to preserve his last bloodline, he has used some of his opportunities to seek some convenience for his two children.

The pouch contained a large amount of resources left by the city lord, as well as a hastily drafted letter.

The implication is that when Chen Jinshu sees this letter, both children should be alive.

Please ask her to find a good home for the two children so they won't end up on the streets.

He has already tested the spiritual roots of both children, and they are both quite good; the younger brother has three spiritual roots, and the older sister has two.

They had hoped to establish a connection with the Xuanming Sect through this snake demon incident, but unexpectedly, the city was suddenly attacked by evil cultivators.

This turned what was once a peaceful and prosperous place into a hellish place.

"Please, Immortal, accept us as your disciples. My brother and I both have spiritual roots and can cultivate. We also wish to protect the city and sacrifice ourselves like our father." Chen Qing noticed the change in Chen Jinshu's expression and immediately knelt down to beg.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan also knelt down, and Wen Ming, who was standing to the side, followed suit.

"We beg the immortal to accept us as his disciples!"

Chen Jinshu looked at the three tiny children, each less than half a meter tall, and was at a loss for what to do.

However, she was not moved by the three people's desperate pleas, because she knew her goal and would never take on disciples before achieving the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.

Even those who have only reached the Nascent Soul stage still pursue ascension; for her, taking on disciples would be a burden.

However, she bears an inescapable responsibility for the destruction of Yulian City this time, and she would feel guilty if she let it go.

"I cannot accept you as disciples. However, I can offer you some assistance in your cultivation!"

"At most, I'll help you find a good place to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately looked disappointed.

Just then, a huge spirit ship sped in from the west, bringing with it a crimson glow...
