Urban Immortal Lord

As soon as he finished speaking, in the sea of ​​flowers, the spirit of the Hermit of the Forgotten River appeared transparent, followed by a three-foot-long sword, which only had the shape of a sword but no physical form.

"This sword is named Ruthless. It was once my weapon, but it shattered in a battle with the Yellow Springs Emperor, leaving only this sword spirit," said the Hermit of the Forgotten River. "If one day, young friend, you can reshape the sword's body, it will surely regain its former glory!"

After Wangchuan Jushi finished speaking, he continuously formed hand seals, and then the immortal sword slowly fell towards Xia Tian's head.

As the sword spirit entered his body, Xia Tian felt a sharp pain coursing through his entire body. Moments later, it had merged into Xia Tian's spine.

"Young friend, I'm leaving!"

In mid-air, the spirit had long since vanished, leaving only the voice of the Hermit of the Forgotten River echoing for a long time within the Valley of a Hundred Flowers.

Summer knelt in prayer, her heart heavy, and said, "I will never forget your great kindness, senior. If I can reach the pinnacle of this world, I will definitely fulfill your wish!"

After saying that, Xia Tian picked up the Hundred Flowers Immortal Wine and gulped it down. At this moment, he was filled with mixed feelings, and only wine could soothe his mood.

Composing herself, Xia Tian buried the remaining Hundred Flower Immortal Wine in the sea of ​​flowers, then took off her coat, wrapped the Forget-River Qin in it, and walked step by step towards the outside of Hundred Flower Valley.

As for the Wangchuan Qin score in the thatched hut, Xia Tian did not take it. From the memories of the Wangchuan Hermit about the qin, Xia Tian learned that the Wangchuan Qin had no score, and the tunes played changed entirely according to the mood of the person playing the qin.

As for the medical tradition, the Nine Needles for Life and Death. Those who perform this acupuncture must use their Qi to control the needles and infuse the patient with spiritual energy and vitality in order to achieve the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

……

It was nearly noon when Xia Tian left Baihua Valley and reached the foot of the mountain. She noticed that her phone was vibrating incessantly in her pocket.

Xia Tian opened her phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from her mother and sister.

The signal is poor in the mountains, and there is no signal at all on the mountaintop. Xia Tian knew without a doubt that his family must be worried that something had happened to him since he hadn't been home for half a day, which was why they kept calling him.

Xia Tian pressed the answer button and said "feed" once.

"Brother, you finally answered the phone! Everyone at home was so worried." It was Xia Yaoyao's anxious voice coming from the other end of the line.

"I'm on the mountain, I'll be back soon. Tell Mom and Dad not to worry," Xia Tian said.

"Okay, then come back quickly, brother. We're waiting for you to eat," Xia Yaoyao said.

"Yes, I'm already at the village entrance, I'll be there soon," Xia Tian replied, then hung up the phone and quickened her pace towards home.

Ten minutes later, when Xia Tian reached the courtyard gate, he felt extremely guilty when he saw his parents and sister looking at him with anxious and concerned eyes.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come inside to eat." Seeing Xia Tian return safely, her mother, Xu Xiaomei, finally felt relieved.

You should know that Baiyun Village is not like other villages. Baiyun Village is located deep in the mountains, where large wild animals often appear and kill people.

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have worried you. We were supposed to have breakfast, but something unexpected happened, and I was busy until noon."

"It's good to see you back," Xu Xiaomei said. "Go wash your hands and eat."

Seeing this, Xia Tian followed the others into the house. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard his younger sister Xia Yaoyao's voice.

"Brother, what are you wearing under your clothes? Let me see."

After saying that, Xia Yaoyao reached out her hand, but fortunately, Xia Tian had cultivation and avoided this quirky little sister without leaving a trace.

"Stop fooling around, this is a secret, you're not allowed to look." After Xia Tian finished speaking, he quickly returned to his room and hid the Wangchuan Qin.

Xia Tian felt that there were some things that her parents and sister should not know. After all, if these strange and bizarre things were told, it would affect the normal life of her family.

Summer didn't want to see her family's peaceful life changed because of her.

Having missed her target, Xia Yaoyao pouted in dissatisfaction, watching Xia Tian's retreating figure: "What a cheapskate!"

After lunch, the family sat together in the house, where an old-fashioned television was playing a program.

"Tian'er, how long are you planning to stay this time?" Xu Xiaomei asked, looking at Xia Tian.

Hearing this, Xia Tian paused for a moment and said, "Mom, I plan to go back to school after the summer vacation. Before that, I want to go to the city to do a summer job to earn some living expenses and help with household expenses."

"How long are you planning to be gone?" At this moment, the father, Xia Shoucheng, asked.

"About a month and a half, I'll come back before school starts," Xia Tian said. He knew from a young age that his family wasn't well-off; even his living expenses during college were raised by his parents from the neighbors.

Summer suddenly felt guilty and regretful for her decadence during her freshman year.

Xia Yaoyao, the younger sister, is about to enter her senior year of high school, and the money her father, Xia Shoucheng, earns from hunting is far from enough to cover the expenses for the two siblings.

"Brother, I want to work a summer job too, to earn my own living expenses." Xia Yaoyao looked at Xia Tian with anticipation.

"You silly girl, why are you meddling in everything? Just focus on your studies. You don't need to worry about things at home," Xu Xiaomei said, affectionately patting Xia Yaoyao's head.

"When are you leaving?" Xia Shoucheng asked.

Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I'll pack my bags tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You've only been back for a day. Why don't you stay a few more days before leaving?" Xu Xiaomei looked at Xia Tian with some reluctance.

Seeing this, Xia Tian remained silent. He also wanted to spend more time with his parents and sister and enjoy this rare family affection. However, after studying away from home for a year, he was no longer the carefree boy who had been under his parents' protection. As he grew up, he had to shoulder responsibilities.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.

A year later, her parents had a lot more gray hair at their temples. Seeing this, Xia Tian became even more determined in her decision.

"Mom, I've made up my mind. I'll leave tomorrow." Xia Tian was reluctant to leave. Although he knew that the people in front of him were not his biological parents, they had given him family affection. They were not his biological parents, but they were even closer to him than his biological parents.

"Alright then." Xu Xiaomei didn't try to stop her any longer, and then said to Xia Shoucheng, "Honey, what are you waiting for? Go get the child's living expenses."

"No need, Mom and Dad," Xia Tian said. "You have to trust your son. He's a top student; how could he not earn money?"

That makes sense, though. In today's society, as long as you're willing to work hard, you can make money anywhere; it's just a matter of how much. And Xia Tian is not only a college student but also a cultivator. If he wanted to, making money wouldn't be difficult at all with a little effort.

However, Xia Tian disdained to do such a thing.

Xia Tian felt that if one were to use trickery and force to seize things, one would surely be blinded by worldly desires and lose one's true self.
