After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

Chen Shi'an ignored the dragon's resentful gaze. Damn it, did he expect to be kept around for nothing?

They eat my food, drink my drink, and live in my house; when it's their turn to serve, how dare they not serve me?

What to do next, and how to do it, is up to the fox clan.

Although Bai Liuli is reckless, with Bai Meier by his side, he won't cause any trouble.

With the addition of a dragon that can rival the master of Changbai Mountain, it's basically a crushing victory.

If he can't even handle this simple matter, Chen Shi'an should start to doubt his own judgment.

Back at the clinic, Chen Shi'an witnessed the charm of two generations of the most beautiful women in the martial arts world.

Xu Lianyi was not as uninhibited as Hua Yueying, but she would gradually get used to it.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Lianyi wanted to go home, partly to let everyone know she was safe, and partly because she was homesick.

Chen Shi'an naturally had no reason to stop it.

Si Qing, however, was somewhat worried and sent a corpse slave to follow them.

This guy is no weaker than a peak Earth Immortal, and he has been following Si Qing's side all these years.

They are said to be members of the Siqing clan, but they were turned into zombies back then. However, they awakened their consciousness and have lived in the Yellow River for thousands of years, living off the Yellow River's water vapor. Unknowingly, they have reached this level.

This is also the origin of the feud between Si Qing and Maoshan.

Of course, he only mentioned it briefly; Chen Shi'an didn't inquire about the specifics of the grudge.

Unless someone from Maoshan is stupid, they won't bother Siqing.

In this era, the absence of martial saints is less a matter of contract and more a matter of restraint. The situation has not escalated to that point, so naturally, a war between martial saints will not break out.

But if the path is cut off, one day it will erupt completely.

It was clearly Jiang Yinxue who valued her, but obviously, Si Qing appreciated Xu Lianyi's talent more.

The two women were bored, so they let them do whatever they wanted, and Xu Lianyi seemed to enjoy it as well.

The Xu family absolutely lacks such resources and vision.

Chen Shi'an was in the clinic, and it was a quiet time.

A figure appeared.

Chen Shi'an's face darkened immediately. Damn it, it's that old bastard again.

The Ye family patriarch, seemingly oblivious to the arrival of an unwelcome guest, sat down casually and asked Chen Shi'an, "Chen Shi'an, are you going to take action against the demon race?"

"Damn it, I've been here every day, when have I ever laid a hand on the demon race?" Chen Shi'an glared at the old man.

Whether you admit it or not, let's hear what they mean first.

"Damn it, you never tell the truth. Those two women attacked, and you still won't admit it." The Ye family patriarch sneered.

"You said it yourself, they were the ones who did it. What does the fox clan's business have to do with me?"

"Besides, it's their internal business, they can handle it themselves. What's the point of you coming here and whining to me?" Chen Shi'an sneered.

He was wary of this.

Besides, even with help, Bai Liuli might not be able to win over the hearts of the demon race.

Especially when there is interference from foreign races, otherwise, why wait until Bai Liuli breaks through before initiating this matter?

Speechless after being rebuked by Chen Shi'an, the Ye family patriarch glared at Chen Shi'an fiercely. This bastard never speaks the truth. Damn it, what about internal affairs of the fox clan? The fox clan is practically his harem.

"Speak! What do you want?" Chen Shi'an asked, looking at the Ye family patriarch with a look of disdain.

"The Yangtze River is flooding," the Ye family patriarch said solemnly.

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be anything good." Chen Shi'an curled his lip.

The Ten Thousand Mountains, the Changbai Mountains, the Yellow Dragon Dances—that matter is simple.

"Hmph, I asked you to find Hou Qing's whereabouts, but you kept dragging your feet and couldn't find him. You wanted me to do the hard labor, but you came quickly." Chen Shi'an sneered.

The Bureau of Heresy Investigation monitors the entire world, but damn it, they can't even find a high-ranking official.

"Damn, what level of creature is that? It's so eager to hide. Who can find it? You think I haven't been looking? Its ambition is already laid bare. I want it dead even more than you do." The Ye family patriarch sneered.

Last time, during the battle of the Ten Thousand Mountains, if it weren't for Chen Shi'an turning the tide at the crucial moment, those people might have perished there.

Doesn't he harbor resentment?

"Stop with the excuses. You've got a whole bunch of reasons, but you're not doing anything right." Chen Shi'an curled his lip, looking disdainful.

"You..." The Ye family patriarch pointed at Chen Shi'an, speechless.

That beast doesn't give you any face at all.

Damn it, I know that every time I come here I'll inevitably face some backlash, but I still have to rely on this beast.

This feeling is truly, truly painful.

"Hmph, after this, I won't come looking for you again." The Ye family patriarch looked at Chen Shi'an and said seriously!

"Do you think I believe you or not?" Chen Shi'an glanced sideways at the Ye family patriarch.

The Ye family patriarch looked at Chen Shi'an, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

"Alright, I'm just letting you know. Someone will notify you when the time comes, Chen Shi'an. I hope that one day you will make a careful choice." The Ye family patriarch said this and then turned to leave.

After the Ye family patriarch passed away.

Jiang Yinxue appeared beside Chen Shi'an. "This time, he shouldn't be lying."

"How so?" Chen Shi'an asked, looking at Jiang Yinxue.

"Perhaps he is still hesitant and conflicted in his heart! In this world, no matter if you are a peerless martial saint or the most ordinary Qi cultivation cultivator, you will eventually wither away."

"If you want to forge a new path, you must break free from past constraints and confront taboos." Jiang Yinxue looked at Chen Shi'an with an unusually serious expression.

"After the Yangtze River floods, everything will become clear. The River God, the Mountain God, and the Water God have all fallen one after another. The last piece will be completed, and the last glimmer of hope for cultivators in the world is coming," Jiang Yinxue said softly.

"If you can't give a clear explanation, then don't say anything."

"It's no fun if you only say half of what you mean," Chen Shi'an interrupted Jiang Yinxue.

Jiang Yinxue glanced at Chen Shi'an, "Do you know why the ancient times were the era of cultivators?"

"Back then, there was no shortage of spiritual energy from heaven and earth," Chen Shi'an said.

"Indeed, in ancient times, the human world was connected to heaven and earth, so there was no shortage of spiritual energy, which is why cultivators roamed freely and powerful figures emerged in great numbers."

"However, in ancient times, the human world was not controlled by any living beings. Heaven and earth both drew upon the fortune of the human world. Some gods even wantonly slaughtered living beings and took pleasure in toying with human beings."

"Therefore, human cultivators closed the gates of heaven and earth, severing all communication between the two worlds."

"The spiritual energy of humanity is gradually fading away."

"From now on, human affairs will be managed by the living beings of the human world," Jiang Yinxue said softly.

"Isn't that great!"

"For that era, it was indeed a good thing, but each generation has its own ideas. With the gates of heaven and earth closed, the human world lost its source of spiritual energy. From then on, spiritual energy dissipated, and cultivators entered a dead end. Do you think the cultivators in the world would be content with that?"
