A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Romeo: I'm sorry, brother. Did I cause you any trouble? If so, I'd rather not have these things.

Disciple of Juling Pavilion: That’s not true, Junior sister, please leave quickly. It will be bad if the elders see us!

Romeo: Thank you, brother. I give you a kiss~

KP: So, you successfully got 10 hemostatic herbs and green spirit fruits from the Gathering Spirit Pavilion at the price of 40 spirit stones.

Han Buli: I suddenly had an immature idea. If we sell these things to Juling Pavilion, and then use the proceeds to let Lao Luo continue to buy materials at half price, and keep doing this, then we will be financially free.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right, Brother Han is a great talent!

KP: Regarding your immature idea, I have a small suggestion, that is, get off the mountain before I change my mind!

Han Buli: Slip away, slip away.

Xiao Huohuo: Then let’s gather at the mountain gate. I hope everyone is free.

Romeo: No more, no more, go, go, go!

Joan of Arc: Let’s go to Jiping Village!

……

KP: Jiping Village, like Anning Village, is also a village at the foot of Chengtianzong Mountain, but it is more remote than Anning Village. When you see the outline of the village from afar, it is already evening.

Joan of Arc: It seems we wasted a whole day traveling.

Xiao Huohuo: No waste, no waste. Lao Luo, give me all the elixirs you bought and I will mix them together.

Romeo: Good, good.

萧火火：调和止血草，【10d100：23、93、90、29、49、17、3、50、62、48】，成功8。

调和碧灵果，【10d100：72、97、66、2、11、80、94、53、43、25】，成功8。

Han Buli: Brother Xiao is indeed a well-known alchemist in the Douqi Continent.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s guaranteed.

KP: So, through the concoction, you've obtained 8 Hemostatic Plasters and 8 Biling Pills. You know the use of the Hemostatic Plasters, and Biling Pills restore [1d5] + 5 MP. Incidentally, you can also directly use Spirit Stones to restore MP, 1 Spirit Stone restores 1 MP.

Han Buli: I want to observe the situation of the village before entering it.

Han Buli: Observation, 11/50, success.

KP: Standing on the undulating terraced path outside the village, you gaze down at Jiping Village, a riverside settlement with around twenty households. It's considerably larger than Anning Village. The villagers make their living from fishing and farming. You can see dried fish drying outside the houses and boats docked by the river. In the central open space of the village, a large, prominent tree stands out. It seems constantly tended, remaining lush and vibrant even in winter.

Romeo: Wow, more than 20 households, big business, Lao Han.

Han Buli: Hehehe.

KP: byd, you guys should behave yourself!

Xiao Huohuo: The Japanese invaders have entered the village.

KP: Okay, you guys just listen, just one person is enough.

Xiao Huohuo: Listening, 80/30, failure.

Han Buli: Listening, 14/50, success.

KP: So, just as you arrived at the entrance of Jiping Village, Han Li, who had sharp ears, suddenly heard punching and kicking, as well as children's cursing coming from behind a shack not far away.

???: I'll teach you how to be blind! I'll teach you how to be blind! I'll kick you to death!

???: Bah, you freak without a father or a mother, you should just die soon.

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm?

022 Deterrence (Day 14)

KP: Just as he was passing the village entrance, Han Buli suddenly heard a flurry of punches and kicks. After explaining what he had just discovered to his teammates, you stopped and listened carefully, and sure enough, you heard similar noises.

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm? I seem to smell the scent of the 80s.

Joan of Arc: Let’s go and take a look.

KP: So you walked towards the direction of the sound...

Han Buli: Wait a minute, KP, I need to pass the danger perception test first.

Han Buli: Danger perception, 90/50, failed.

Han Buli: Damn it!

KP: No, this is dangerous at all. No matter how wicked I am, I will never kill someone at the door.

Joan of Arc: I feel guilty as a thief.

Han Buli: emmmm.

KP: Anyway, you came to the back of the shed and saw several boys about thirteen or fourteen years old surrounding another skinny child and beating and kicking her. The person being beaten seemed to be a girl. She was curled up in a small ball on the snow-covered ground, trembling all over and letting out short cries of pain from time to time.

Romeo: Damn it, where did these little bastards come from? I'm going to yell, "Let that girl go!" I'm going to charge over and teach them a lesson!

KP: Sure, then you rushed forward while shouting. Your powerful aura scared all the kids in the field so much that they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at you in surprise and confusion.

Lead boy: You, who are you? No, are you a monster?!

KP: It seems that your height of over two meters is too intimidating, and there is a hint of fear in their eyes.

Romeo: That's right, I'm a monster. I love to eat the brats who bully girls! KP, I'm going to threaten him... Wait, am I threatening him?

KP: There's no need to scare people. Your size is scary enough. The children ran away screaming, calling for help from their parents.

Romeo: Bah, a bunch of good-for-nothing little trash. I'm going to go see if that little girl is hurt and where she's hurt.

Xiao Huohuo: Lao Luo, please pay attention to your moral integrity.

KP: Realizing the pain was gone, the beaten little girl slowly raised her head. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a bruised face and nose. Her tattered coarse cloth clothes could not hide her skinny body. The exposed skin was covered with scars and bruises, and she looked very pitiful.

Joan of Arc: Damn, these little bastards are really cruel.

Romeo: Don’t be afraid, little sister. I have chased away those bad boys. Come and let me see how you are injured and have no teeth.

Girl: No, don't--!

KP: And just when you were about to reach out and touch the girl, she suddenly let out a terrified scream, then, ignoring the pain in her body, she twitched and crawled to the corner of the wall, curling up into a ball.

Romeo: Huh?

Xiao Huohuo: Lao Luo, what did you do?

Han Buli: Please be understanding. He was just bullied by a small beast, so it is normal for him to be afraid of the big beast.

Romeo: Damn!

Joan of Arc: Alright, alright, all you stinky men, get out of my way! I'll go up and comfort the girl, and tell her softly that we're not bad people, but immortal masters from the mountains, and that you're fine now.

KP: Compared to the beast-like Lao Luo, Joan of Arc's image is obviously more approachable. Moreover, the fact that they are both women also makes the girl less resistant. With the gentle persuasion, the girl let down her guard a little.

Girl: Immortal, Master... Are you immortal masters?

Joan of Arc: That’s right, we are immortal masters from the mountains. You see, I, your sister, also know some magical arts.

Joan of Arc: Rain, 37/86, success.

KP: A warm mist drifted by, and Jeanne used the Rain Magic to heal the girl's injuries. Although the bruises on the girl's body had not yet disappeared, it could be seen from her surprised eyes and relaxed expression that most of her pain had disappeared.

Girl: Thank you, thank you, Master! ...But I don’t have any money to give you...

Joan of Arc: No money needed, no money needed. We from a noble and upright family always do good deeds without leaving a name. The most important thing is that you are okay, little sister.

Girl: Immortal, Master Immortal...

Joan of Arc: Don't call me Master Immortal. I'm not that old. Look, I'm only a few years older than you. Just call me Sister Joan of Arc.

Girl: Jeanne...sister...

Joan of Arc: Wow, so cute! I want to hug her, pat her head and praise her for being so good!

KP: Although she understood that you were not bad people, the girl was still not used to Joan of Arc's enthusiasm. When she was hugged by Joan of Arc, her face quickly turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm? I seem to smell the scent of lilies.

Romeo: By the way, KP, I want to see how pretty the little girl is!

Han Buli: Have you started?

KP: Although her face was swollen and deformed from the previous beating, you could still tell, Romeo, that she was a delicate and lovely girl. However, after noticing your gaze, the girl trembled noticeably and shrank back in Joan of Arc's arms with her head lowered.

Girl: Yes, I’m sorry… I’m very timid. Please don’t stare at me like that, Master…

Joan of Arc: I reached out and blinded Romeo's eyes.

Xiao Huohuo: Then I will walk behind Lao Luo and kick his butt hard with my hard leather boots!

Han Buli: Brother Xiao, leave half of your butt for me, I’ll give it a kick too.

Romeo: Damn! I'm your teammate!

Jeanne: Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you your name yet, little sister? And those brats, why did they bully you?

Girl: I don’t have a name. Everyone in the village calls me Xiaocao... As for Niu Xiaoer and the others, I accidentally spilled oil on them. I don’t blame them.

KP: After saying that, Xiaocao seemed to remember something, and tremblingly took out a broken bamboo tube from his arms. Looking at the few remaining oil stains on it, his eyes dimmed.

Girl: The oil tank is broken and all the oil has leaked out... I won’t have any oil to use this month.

KP: Putting the broken bamboo tube in her arms, Xiaocao couldn't help sobbing softly, she raised the dirty back of her hand to wipe her tears, and her face was covered with blood again.

Xiao Huohuo: How miserable.

Jeanne: Those little bastards, next time I see them I’ll beat their heads off! (Angry)

Han Buli: Okay, okay, it’s getting late, let’s send the little sister home first.

KP: So you left the shed with Xiaocao, but at that moment, there was a sudden noise of a crowd in the distance.

Romeo: What happened?

KP: You looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of villagers armed with pitchforks, hoes and other farm tools rushing towards you aggressively. They soon blocked your way. Seeing this, Xiaocao hid behind Joan of Arc in fear, not daring to make a sound.

KP: Then, a boy who looked familiar jumped out of the crowd and pointed his finger at Romeo.

Boy: Dad, it was this monster-like big guy who bullied us just now!

Romeo: Damn, this little bastard!

KP: Upon hearing this, a muscular farmer walked out with a stick in his hand. The setting sun cast a faint blood-red glow on his face, making him look even more ferocious.

Strong villagers: Who are you? We don’t welcome outsiders in our village. Get out now, or we’ll treat you badly!

Villagers: Yes! Get out now!

Villagers: Get out——!!!

KP: The villagers were waving their farm tools, their mouths full of curses and expulsion. This was supposed to be a simple village that relied on fishing and farming, but their eyes looked like a group of hungry wolves.

Han Buli: Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Aren't we here to complete a mission? How come these villagers have no clue?

Xiao Huohuo: I'm really a little angry... I'm going to cast a thunder curse at the open space.

KP: You roll.

Xiao Huohuo: Thunder Curse, 47/97, ​​success.

KP: After long-term training in the arena, your Thunderfall Curse has reached perfection. With just a casual wave of your hand, a bolt of lightning as thick as your forearm crashes to the ground, leaving a charred mark.

KP: Following this earth-shattering blow, the villagers' shouting faded away like a tide. Everyone looked at each other, and the farm tools in their hands dropped a little, obviously shocked by your move.

Xiao Huohuo: Have you had enough of the trouble?

KP: Your cold gaze swept across the crowd, and for a moment no one dared to speak.

Xiao Huohuo: Where's your village chief? Let him speak out!

023 Mission Completed? (Day 14)

KP: With a single thunderbolt curse, Xiao Huohuo successfully intimidated all the villagers. Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to continue shouting, and a buzz of discussion broke out.

Villager A: Just now, was that the thunder god appearing?

Villager B: You are stupid. This is a method of summoning wind and thunder. They must be the immortal masters on the mountain!
