In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 417 Bodyguard
Xie Lingxin couldn't bear to look directly into her expectant gaze and turned her head away.

If it were the jade bottle in Guanyin's hand, he had no doubt that the nectar inside could bring the dead back to life.

But what he held in his hand...

Resurrecting flesh and bones is possible, but bringing the dead back to life... is still a long way off.

"Don't overthink it, just rest for a bit."

Xie Lingxin avoided her tearful gaze and stood up.

He said to Boss Lian, "Boss Lian, find a trustworthy woman to take care of her."

The eldest brother hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Immortal, I'll call my wife over right away!"

Xie Lingxin was too lazy to correct his form of address.

Come outside.

At this time, the second brother and others had already set up a simple shed in the fenced yard outside the house.

Xie Qi's body lay in the shed.

"Fairy!"

Upon seeing him, everyone stopped what they were doing and stopped to greet him.

Xie Lingxin nodded.

There's no point in emphasizing to them that you're not an immortal.

He walked to Xie Qi's body, glanced at it, and sighed deeply.

Strictly speaking, he and Xie Qi had not actually met in person.

He had just regained consciousness when he died.

Before this, he was the one who brought his own body out of the snake's belly and brought it back, taking meticulous care of it for so long.

It was because of the need to fill her bottomless belly that she had no choice but to become a drug slave.

In the end, however, he ended up like this.

We can't even see each other once.

Even though this is just a body in which he has been resurrected, the affection he feels is genuine.

If he ignores it, can he still be considered a human being?
"Hua Man".

Xie Lingxin's sudden speech startled Lian Lao Er and the others.

Then a figure appeared out of thin air.

What a nice view……

Hua Man's graceful figure and stunning beauty left even the second brother and his men speechless.

My mind is completely blank; I don't even want to think about why this person suddenly appeared here.

I just took it for granted.

This is what a fairy should be like.

"Owner."

Owner?

really……

Everyone shuddered.

Such fairies are called fools... No, wait!
He's not a fool, he's a true immortal!

"Did you hear that?"

Hua Man nodded: "Master, I heard you."

"You should know what I want, right?"

Hua Man said, "Master, I will investigate the Medicine King Sect and the Medicine Supervision Office thoroughly."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "And that county magistrate, go."

"Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Man transformed into a golden streak of light and flew away.

This skill made Xie Lingxin extremely envious.

Not to mention even the second brother and others.

They all stared wide-eyed at the horizon where the golden light had vanished.

Xie Lingxin also intentionally did not avoid them.

It's nothing more than a deterrent.

Actually, he had a pretty good impression of the people in this small village.

Although everyone has their own little thoughts, beneath these thoughts lies a simple and genuine affection, with mutual care and consideration never diminishing.

Speaking only of himself, he has eaten quite a few meals from the villagers.

But he didn't want to test human nature.

Some things are better left out in the open.

With these hunters around, Xie Qi's funeral arrangements were handled quickly.

The village elder personally traveled dozens of miles and heard that in that village there was a fairy maiden who was very efficacious.

We asked her to choose an auspicious date for Xie Qi's burial.

The shaman gave her a time five days from now.

When the appointed time arrived, the whole village came to send Xie Qi off for his burial.

The village elder originally wanted to spend money to hire a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.

Xie Lingxin, however, took on the task.

He does not perform rituals or perform rites for the deceased.

But he possesses the supernatural powers of the Three Officials.

The Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official pardons sins, and the Water Official relieves calamities.

With all three factors combined, even if the underworld truly exists, Xie Qi will inevitably receive a good outcome.

"Only the three sages constitute the one Taiji."

"The Purple Star, Pure Void, Deep Yin, oversees all merits and demerits,"

"May you be blessed with good fortune, pardon sins, and be relieved of calamities, and may your life be saved."

"His virtue surpasses all heavens, and his grace extends to the three realms."

"Great compassion and great vows, great holiness and great mercy."

"Three Yuan, Three Grades, Three Officials Great Emperor."

"The Three Palaces and Nine Mansions respond to the Heavenly Venerable."

Xie Lingxin recited the Three Officials' Precious Proclamation and the Divine Power Sutra with all her heart, and displayed all the divine powers of the Three Officials.

Only when Xie Qi was buried did I breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The villagers gradually dispersed.

Only a few people remained to help clean up the mess.

Xie Zhen's injuries have long since healed, and she is in good spirits.

They stood guard before the spirit tablet.

His eyes were brimming with tears, a mixture of sadness and bewilderment.

She murmured, "Brother... I won't have a brother anymore..."

Xie Lingxin walked over and squatted down next to her.

Looking at the memorial tablet in front of me.

"You have."

"From now on, I will be your older brother."

Xie Zhen's small body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned her face.

Large tears rolled down her cheeks again.

During this period, this 15-year-old girl seemed to have transformed into a being made of water.

Xie Lingxin slowly reached out and placed her hand on her head, gently rubbing it: "I am your brother, Xie Lingxin."

"Waaah—!" Xie Zhen burst into tears.

Although she kept crying, she didn't make a sound.

It's as if I'm about to vent all my sadness.

After crying for a long time and until she was exhausted, she fell asleep in Xie Lingxin's arms.

Xie Lingxin carried her back into the house.

A golden streak of light fell.

Xie Lingxin went outside.

Hua Man bowed and said, "Master, I've found it."

"Go ahead."

"The Medicine King Sect, under the rule of the royal court, is the number one immortal sect in Chengdu."

"Our sect is renowned among immortal sects for its alchemy and medicine-making skills, so there are not many strong individuals in the sect. Only the sect leader, An Daoyuan, has reached the realm of a True Person."

"The reason why it became the number one immortal sect in Chengdu is not only because the royal court relied heavily on its elixirs, but also because of the royal court's drug administration office."

"The Medicine Supervision Office is where the King collects and refines elixirs, and many of its members are disciples of the Medicine King Sect."

“Zuo Lingbo, the magistrate of Qingshen County, also came from the Medicine King Sect, but his cultivation level was not high and he was not considered a top-tier cultivator.”

"I was afraid of alerting the Medicine King Sect, so I did not go deep into the sect. However, I did find out that the sect leader, An Daoyuan, recently obtained a magical herb, which was presented by one of his disciples."

"An Daoyuan recently claimed that he was going to refine a batch of immortal pills and was sending out invitations to hold a banquet to invite immortal sects and independent cultivators from all over Chengdu."

After hearing this, Xie Lingxin sneered: "The Medicine King Sect? So they're all a den of snakes and rats."

"He was the thief, he was the murderer, and he's the one who judges the case."

He asked Hua Man, "Are you sure the Medicine King Sect only has one True Person, An Daoyuan?"

"The Medicine King Sect indeed doesn't have many experts,"

Hua Man said, "But Master should still be careful. There should be quite a few powerful cultivators from the immortal sects in Chengdu."

“I was only near Chengdu when I was already noticed,”

"Fortunately, I possess the Floating Light Technique personally taught by the Divine Lord, otherwise I might not have been able to escape."

"Although it was only a brief sensing, I am quite certain that there are probably no fewer than two dozen Grandmasters and True Persons among the people in Jin Guan,"

"There may even be grandmasters or great masters among them."

"Qingshen County, where the Medicine King Sect is located, is under the jurisdiction of Jinguan City. Although it is more than 200 li away, it is only a stone's throw away from such a place."

"Given the influence of the Medicine King Sect in Chengdu, if Master wants to take action against the Medicine King Sect, he will likely find it difficult to escape unscathed."

Hua Man guessed what Xie Lingxin was planning to do, so she tried to dissuade her.

The matter concerning the God has not yet been resolved; there is really no need to take risks for such a thing.

If Xie Lingxin gets into trouble, she will definitely not have a good ending either.

Xie Lingxin smiled: "What? Are you afraid I'll die here?"

Hua Man's expression remained unchanged: "Yes."

"...Couldn't you have been a little more tactful?"

"A slave must not deceive his master."

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "Sigh, it's beautiful, but really boring."

The fact that they were both maids reminded him of Su Zhen, and his mood immediately soured.

"..."

Xie Lingxin composed herself and asked, "If I absolutely must go to the Medicine King Sect, would you come with me?"

"meeting."

Hua Man said, "Wherever Master goes, I will go. Although my cultivation is poor, I can guarantee that I will die before Master."

"...Those are nice words, but somehow they just don't make me happy?"

Xie Lingxin shook her head and didn't continue.

"If a Grandmaster or a Great Immortal were to make a move, would your Floating Light Technique be able to escape?"

"impossible."

Hua Man said decisively.

"If you don't enter that realm, you're just an ant, with no room to struggle."

"That's it..."

When is the Medicine King Sect's inaugural banquet?

"Three days later."

Upon hearing this, Hua Man knew that Xie Lingxin was still determined.

Xie Lingxin nodded and went back into the house.

By having Wangcai stay by one's side, one connects to the Heart Lamp, and the primordial spirit returns to the material world.

"Senior Zongjun, does that promise still stand?"

Xie Lingxin called Hua Mudan directly.

Peony paused for a moment: "Of course it counts, but are you sure you want to use it now?"

"Although it is a promise, even grandmasters and great mages cannot be at your beck and call. You only have three chances for us to take action personally."

"Uh... I'm not entirely sure either."

Xie Lingxin tentatively asked, "Could you give me a discount, like half a deal? I just want your support, senior, but I don't necessarily need to go to your expense."

"..."

Hua Mudan feels a little itchy in her hands.

"When?"

"Three days later, Chengdu, Qingshen County."

Xie Lingxin was not worried that Hua Mudan would not be able to find a place.

The Hua family probably already knows everything about the Domain World.

In fact, with the experienced Chen Xu around, he was not afraid of any grandmasters or great masters.

However, compared to the experienced Chen Xu, he still felt that Hua Mudan was more cost-effective.

Besides, there's also the possibility of getting it for free.

"Row."

Hua Mudan uttered a single word and then hung up the phone.

He liked the boy's good fortune, but disliked his scoundrel nature.

After all, Xie Lingxin was currently in Hundred Flowers Fortress, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist killing her.

"call……"

Xie Lingxin breathed a sigh of relief; the bodyguards she'd hired for free were in place.

Settle your thoughts and return to the Realm World.

He frowned.

Indeed, the entry and exit of the primordial spirit into the physical body does have an effect.

Each additional instance of impact will make the situation more severe.

If I leave a few more times, this physical body will probably be ruined.

It's just a borrowed body after all; it's not durable.

Although there was the guarantee of Hua Mudan, Xie Lingxin still had to do her best to prepare.

He has many tricks up his sleeve, but they are still not enough to contend with the dozen or so grandmasters and true masters in Chengdu.

Moreover, there might be grandmasters or great mages overseeing things.

Xie Lingxin's gaze fell on Wangcai, who was standing to the side.

The Federation is full of humanitarian spirit, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had Empress Wu Zetian to suppress it for a generation, so it was impossible for him to close the society in these two places.

This realm now seems to present a good opportunity...
