Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

In the third year of Tianxin's reign, in the third month.

Spring breezes sweep across the land, and willow catkins drift through the streets.

In this season of spring warmth and blooming flowers, a team from Yaowang Valley quietly arrived in Qing'an County.

There were thirteen people in total. They didn't make a big fuss or publicize it, which was a departure from the high-profile style that Medicine King Valley usually had.

Medicine King Valley has always been known in the martial arts world for its high-profile actions.

Whenever they travel as a group, they always make preparations in advance, announcing their trip to all sides and building their reputation.

Only after attracting enough attention will the people of Medicine King Valley set out.

Whether it's being invited to treat patients or providing free medical consultations to the public on a regular basis, it's all the same.

This may seem strange, but the Valley Rules, which are criticized by countless disciples of Medicine King Valley, are actually Medicine King Valley's greatest guarantee, silently protecting countless disciples.

In this vast world, whether in the imperial court or the martial arts world, as long as one is human, one is always subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. No one can say for sure when they will need to seek help from Medicine King Valley.

No one knows what kind of connections Medicine King Valley has accumulated over the past thousand years.

Logically speaking, no normal person would take such a huge risk to offend the physicians of Medicine King Valley.

But the world is never short of madmen, and there will always be some people who, for various reasons, either kidnap doctors or start killing them.

The repeated painful lessons eventually led to this somewhat strange valley rule.

Before any trip, they create a buzz.

If something goes wrong, the forces that invited them to treat the illness will be blacklisted by Medicine King Valley and despised by all fellow martial artists who have received help from Medicine King Valley.

With the cost driven to an unbearable level, all parties will naturally be more attentive and go all out to protect the safety of the Medicine King Valley disciples.

Even if something unexpected happens, because of the hype created in advance, people from the martial arts world who are attracted to help them in order to get a chance to get treatment, or simply to do a favor, will lend a helping hand.

Over time, the attrition rate of Medicine King Valley disciples dropped sharply, and the valley became increasingly prosperous.

Furthermore, due to the large-scale promotion, Medicine King Valley's reputation grew, and the more attractive disciples in the valley became rising stars with status and prestige, sought after by countless people.

Some obsessive men and women go to great lengths to collect portraits of these disciples, causing the value of items related to these disciples to skyrocket. Countless people spend huge sums of money just to catch a glimpse of them.

Even worse, some people will go to extreme lengths to get close to their loved ones, even inflicting illnesses on themselves when they weren't sick at all.

This provoked numerous scholars to hurl insults, calling it a breach of public morals!

Regardless, the star-making plan has been thoroughly developed and popularized by the current Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, and has now become a trend in the martial arts world, attracting countless other forces to follow suit.

Various martial arts factions packaged their prized disciples, promoted their sect's holy sons and daughters, and even formed related industrial chains.

Its selection method overturned the previous theories of force and virtue, and instead placed appearance first.

Many holy sons and daughters, even before they have officially entered the martial world, have already been renowned for a long time.

Mu An was somewhat surprised when he first saw Fu Ximeng, the master of the Medicine King Valley.

She looks incredibly young.

At the tender age of twenty, her features were exquisite, her skin as smooth as cream, with a subtle rosy glow.

From Mu An's perspective, who has seen many beauties in the capital, she may not be considered a peerless beauty who could topple cities and kingdoms, but she is still beautiful enough to be the most beautiful courtesan in Qing'an County.

More importantly, this Medicine King Valley Master, Old Man Lin's senior sister, is a Celestial Martial Saint just like him, and her cultivation is no less than his.

If you were to put Old Man Lin and his senior sister together, you would probably think they were a grandfather and granddaughter traveling together. No one would guess that they were a pair of senior and junior siblings.

"I've long admired the name of Master Fu, but I never imagined he would actually be..."

Mu An didn't finish her sentence, but Fu Ximeng didn't seem to care. She waved her hand casually, making no attempt to hide her concern for her appearance.

"You look too young, don't you?"

"People always care about appearances. Although I am the master of the Medicine King Valley, I am not immune to this. As a woman, I always think about how to make myself look younger."

"But Lord Mu, you've reached such a high level at such a young age. Your skill is profound, and your aura is solid. It's truly admirable."

The mutual flattery didn't last long; the limited exchanges allowed Mu An to learn some previously unknown secrets.

For example, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley in front of us already has children, a boy and a girl, twins, who are twelve years old now and will be old enough to travel the world in a few years.

For various reasons, Medicine King Valley did not publicize it to the outside world.

Mu An was initially surprised, but upon reflection, she realized it was quite normal.

Lin Zhimin left Yaowang Valley more than forty years ago. No matter how deep their feelings were back then, they have long been worn away by time.

The most touching love stories often exist in stories, and stories are always beautified according to people's expectations.

Real life is always filled with trivialities and various troubles.

Relationships need to be nurtured with companionship.

Forty years is enough to change far too much.

It's perfectly normal for Fu Ximeng to have a family and children.

"If what happened back then hadn't happened, I might have naturally married my junior brother decades earlier and lived a life that might have been happy or full of conflict."

Of course, these problems aren't that big, because I'm not good-tempered, and if my junior brother gets into a conflict with me, he probably can't beat me.

But my two mischievous children will probably be much happier, after all, they wouldn't be without a father like they are now. To be honest, I was indeed a bit too strict with them.

Hearing Fu Ximeng's calm tone, Mu An didn't know what to say.

He didn't ask who Fu Ximeng married, why Medicine King Valley was covering it up, or why her child had no father.

He doesn't bring it up unless the other party does.

To put it bluntly, they are not from the same generation at all, and their experiences are vastly different. The only reason they can get together is because of Linzhi people.

Although she kept saying how naughty her two children were and how bad she was as a mother, Fu Ximeng's incessant chatter and the smile on her lips said it all.

Seeing that Fu Ximeng had no intention of stopping the conversation, Mu An had no choice but to interrupt her.

"Master Fu, aren't you planning to go and visit Senior Lin?"

Her enthusiasm abruptly interrupted, Fu Ximeng seemed unhappy. She glanced at Mu An with feigned displeasure, her tone slightly teasing.

"Senior Lin? Lord Mu, you treat me as a peer, but you call my junior brother 'senior'? Doesn't that make me feel like I'm a generation lower for no reason? I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Seeing Fu Ximeng's attitude, Mu An's tone also turned cold.

He didn't believe that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley would be such an unreliable person; this was undoubtedly a way of fooling him.

"As for seniority, everyone should just follow their own rules. Master Fu, stop making trouble. You should know why I invited you here."

Seeing that Mu An was showing signs of anger, Fu Ximeng sighed softly, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong with letting him live a little longer?"

Before Mu An could ask her what she meant, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sighed to herself.

"Well, it's been over forty years since I last saw my junior brother, so it's understandable that I, as his senior sister, miss him a bit, but..."

"Just what?" Mu An pressed.
