Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Yang Zhenzhen hurriedly pushed open the door and went inside.

Chen You hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and followed to the door.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a pungent, strong smell of herbs.

In the depths of the room, on a sickbed, lay an old man, his body emaciated.

"Dad!!" Yang Zhenzhen's eyes reddened, and she rushed a few steps and collapsed in front of the hospital bed.

"Cough cough...cough!" The old man coughed violently, even pulling at his chest, making a wheezing sound like a bellows, before finally spitting out a mouthful of phlegm.

After a long while, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes, looked at his daughter beside him, and murmured, "Zhenzhen... Father is dying. If I'm gone, remember... leave this place immediately! Don't look back!!!"

"Father, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Zhenzhen said through gritted teeth, fighting back tears. "I've already spread the word that no matter how much money it costs, I will definitely find you a hundred-year-old wild ginseng to cure your illness! As long as you eat the hundred-year-old wild ginseng, you can live to be a hundred years old without any problem!"

"A hundred-year-old wild ginseng... Heh, this kind of life-saving elixir is incredibly rare. I've lived to be over sixty, long enough to have lived enough!" The old man sighed, his eyes filled with worry. "But you're still young... I made too many enemies in the martial world. If I leave, those enemies will definitely come to challenge me! You haven't even reached the Transformation Realm yet, remember, you're no match for them..."

"father……"

"These next few days, secretly sell all the farmland and houses in the city, exchange them for cash, and go as far away as possible..." The old man held his daughter's hand and repeatedly instructed her.

Standing at the door, Chen You listened to the conversation inside, his lips twitched involuntarily, and his expression became extremely strange.

Good heavens, I just paid my tuition and now this martial arts school is going to close down?

This luck is unbelievable!

"Alas, what a pity I didn't see you get married or have a grandson. Otherwise, I would definitely have personally taught my grandson my Flaming Sun Fist..."

"Father, don't worry, you won't die!"

Yang Zhenzhen said, crying.

"Who's at the door...?" At this moment, Yang Yan saw Chen You at the door and frowned, saying, "How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation! Throw him out..."

Hearing the noise behind her, Yang Zhenzhen turned around abruptly and discovered that Chen You had been standing at the door the whole time.

Already in a bad mood, she suddenly became furious, feeling that this new disciple was extremely ignorant of the rules!

Her pretty face hardened, and she strode towards the door, radiating an aura of oppression: "Kid, are you tired of living? Daring to eavesdrop on our conversation!"

"Senior sister, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to; your doors simply weren't closed." Chen You, somewhat helpless, quickly cupped her hands in greeting and said before the other party could erupt in anger, "However, I just heard you mention needing century-old wild ginseng? Coincidentally, I know a place where you can find it!!"

"Um?"

Yang Zhenzhen had already raised her hand, ready to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

Upon hearing this, he abruptly stopped what he was doing.

She looked Chen You up and down suspiciously, then said coldly, "Are you afraid of being punished by me, so you're deliberately making up stories to deceive me?"

"Senior Sister, how could I dare lie to you about something like this? That could lead to someone's death." Chen You explained calmly and respectfully, "To be honest, you spread rumors here that anyone who could offer a hundred-year-old wild ginseng could directly become a personal disciple. I came here today specifically for this. There were too many people around, so it wasn't convenient to talk about it until now..."

At this point, Yang Zhenzhen was already about 70-80% convinced.

After all, if this person with no martial arts background dares to spout nonsense, he'll definitely be in for a world of trouble.

"Close the door first!!" Yang Zhenzhen commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!" Chen You entered the room and closed the wooden door behind him, blocking the view from outside.

He walked back into the room, looked at the old man on the sickbed who was barely breathing, and respectfully cupped his hands: "Master, this is your disciple Chen You."

Yang Yan had caught his breath and turned his head slightly to look at Chen You.

The young man had a handsome face and a tall, upright posture.

Despite being in a cramped and stuffy hospital room, she remained calm and composed, her eyes sparkling with intelligence. I couldn't help but nod slightly and ask in a weak voice, "How old are you? What did you do before?"

"Master, I am nineteen years old this year. I used to follow my master in the mountains to collect herbs and learn medicine. A few days ago, my master was unfortunately bitten to death by a poisonous snake. I am now all alone and thought of coming to the martial arts school to learn some self-defense skills..."

Chen You answered honestly.

"Then how did you know about the century-old wild ginseng?" Yang Zhenzhen still looked at him suspiciously, pressing him for an answer. "Century-old wild ginseng is a rare and precious medicinal herb, priceless. If you knew its exact location, why didn't you go and pick it yourself to earn wealth, instead of giving it to the martial arts school?"

"In response to Senior Sister, this matter was actually entrusted to me by my master before his death."

Chen You sighed, a perfectly measured sadness on his face: "A few days ago, my master was gathering herbs deep in the mountains when he unexpectedly discovered that century-old wild ginseng. However, while picking it, he was bitten by a highly venomous viper guarding the area. He fought his way back, but the poison had already taken hold, and there was no hope of recovery. Before he died, he only had time to tell me the hidden location of that century-old wild ginseng before passing away. Although I know the place, there are venomous snakes and ferocious beasts lurking there. How could I, a mere apprentice medicine boy with no strength to even kill a chicken, dare to go there alone?"

"Besides, even if I succeed in harvesting it, if I, an ordinary citizen, were to bring out this wild ginseng, it would probably immediately attract villains to ambush me!! Fortunately, I learned that the martial arts school wanted wild ginseng, so I came to report the news..."

Chen You came up with this explanation last night.

Even if Yang Zhenzhen investigates, she can still find out that her master was indeed bitten to death by a poisonous snake!

As for where he was poisoned, I'm sorry, even he and his mistress don't know, apart from his master.

"Dad, that's wonderful! If the news is true, you're saved!" Yang Zhenzhen said with a smile of surprise.

Yang Yan was naturally delighted, murmuring, "I never expected such a stroke of luck... But we must keep this a secret for now!"

"Dad, of course! What would happen if such a precious treasure were revealed?" Yang Zhenzhen turned to Chen You: "You haven't told anyone, have you?"

"This is a matter of great importance, and I haven't mentioned a word about it!"

"That's good." Yang Zhenzhen nodded. "Now let's pack up and go pick that wild ginseng right away. By the way, where is it located?"

"That place, Black Wind Valley."

"Okay, let's go out the back door..."

"yes!"

Just after he finished speaking, perhaps because of the news about the wild ginseng, Yang Zhenzhen's attitude towards him improved considerably.

As a result, the favorability rating actually jumped to 60.

Instantly, her name appeared on the Desire Spirit Pearl, and at the same time, he also saw Yang Zhenzhen's desire.

[Yang Zhenzhen's desires.]

[Desire 1: My father has fallen ill with a strange disease and his injuries are severe. The doctor says that at least a hundred-year-old wild ginseng is needed to cure him! I hope we can find it. (Completion rewards 200 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 2: She hopes to find a husband who can beat her, has a good personality, is good-looking, has a good background, is gentle, can cook and do laundry, and knows how to coax her. (Completion rewards 500 Desire Points.)]

Upon seeing this, Chen You's lips twitched.

He wasn't surprised by the first desire.

But for her second desire, she felt that only a liar could satisfy her if she wanted to meet these conditions!

"No wonder it requires 500 Desire Points, it's incredibly difficult!"

Next, look at the third desire.

This desire left him speechless.

Yang Zhenzhen is actually this kind of woman...
