"Qingshan is still the same as before. Where are the heroes of this era?!"

"When I was young, I established Ling Yunzhi. I was going to step over the Nine Heavens Mountain and River!"

"However, there is too much sadness in the world. The youth has passed away, leaving nothing but nothingness. The only thing I can think about is the wine, the memories of the past …"

In the wilderness, on the small path, there was an old man and a young man carrying a medicinal basket on their backs. The old man's body was slightly hunched, and his eyes were filled with an vicissitudes of life.

As for the young man, he was a young girl of about fourteen to fifteen years. He had a ponytail on his head, and his innocent face seemed to reveal traces of inexperience. However, when she heard the song of the old man, sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Grandfather, why are you here again?"

The young girl's voice was clear and clean, without any impurities. Although it wasn't moving, it was very pleasant to hear.

"Xiao Ya, do you miss your brother?"

The old man's aged eyes looked at the girl with a doting gaze, but when he spoke, it was difficult to conceal the sadness in his eyes.

"Grandfather, can you stop talking?"

The young girl's clean eyes held a bit of anger. She tilted her head, and tears began to roll down her cheeks again.

"Xiao Ya, Grandfather will not say anymore … "Let's not talk about it anymore."

The old man rubbed the girl's head and sighed. That spirited and loyal young man's silhouette seemed to once again echo in his mind, but now, he could only chase after the memories of the past.

As the breeze blew, one old and one young, both remained silent. Carrying a large and a small medicinal basket on their backs, they continued on their way, as if they were reminiscing about something.

They walked across the grass and across the path until they came to the lake.

"Grandpa, so many dead people."

The girl looked at the corpse lying on the ground beside the lake. There was a strange look in her eyes as she whispered.

The old man frowned, then shook his head.

"There's one more person." The girl saw a figure floating in the lake, devoid of any signs of life.

"Xiao Ya, let's go."

The old man held the girl's hand, as if he didn't want the girl to see these dead people.

But even though the girl was being pulled by the old man, she seemed reluctant to look away. Her clean eyes were staring at the figure in the lake.

"Grandfather, wait a moment." The girl shouted, but the old man still pulled the girl back, "Xiao Ya, let's go."

"Wait a moment, grandpa is like a big brother."

The young girl still refused to leave, her gaze never leaving the figure in the lake.

And after hearing the girl's words, the old man's gaze also landed on the figure within the lake. It was a young man, with a clean, sharp face, and a delicate and pretty face.

He had the same age and the same clean face, but he didn't know if his smile could be as bright and clean as his Grandson's.

When the old man released his hand, the girl's figure faintly moved, and directly jumped into the lake. Her toes lightly tapped on the lake water and stepped on the waves, which required at least the cultivation of Spiritual Martial Stage to accomplish.

Very quickly, the young maiden arrived at the side of the silhouette in the lake, lifting the body of the young man up before treading on the waves and returning to the lakeside.

"Grandfather, he's still alive."

The young lady gently put the young man down. The young man's body was covered in blood, and his clean face looked as though he had been submerged in water for too long.

The old man glanced at the young man and nodded. "I am still breathing."

"Then save him grandpa."

The young girl's clean eyes looked at the old man with a hint of anticipation.

The old man's eyes flickered, as if he was slightly hesitant, and said while shaking his head: "Xiao Ya, after your brother left, Grandfather swore that, other than you, I will not save anyone else in this life."

"Grandfather, those words are said in anger. You are a medicinal master, a most merciful person. How can you not save someone who is about to die? Also, don't you realize that he really looks like an older brother?"

The young girl anxiously asked, her voice filled with sincerity.

"Xiao Ya, he's not your brother after all." The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I don't care. You have to save him." This caused the old man to be speechless. After Grandson left, he only had this granddaughter to accompany him in this world, and she was his only family.

"Only this once!"

The old man raised a finger towards the young girl and a smile immediately appeared on the young girl's face. She nodded heavily, "Thank you, Grandfather."

The old man shook his head, then he squatted down slightly and placed his finger on the young man's wrist.

In the blink of an eye, the old man trembled as he retracted his hands. Shock could be seen flickering in his eyes.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

The girl asked puzzledly when she saw the old man's actions.

"Xiao Ya, no, we can't save this person." The old man looked at the girl with a sharp gaze and a firm gaze.

"Why?" The girl didn't understand.

"We can't save him, Xiao Ya, let's go."

The old man pulled the young girl, wanting to leave immediately. The young girl didn't understand, and her eyes were fixated on the young man lying down.

"Cough, cough!"

A cough came from the young man's mouth. Blood mixed with lake water flowed out from the young man's mouth, shocking the girl.

"This won't do, grandpa. He's still alive. If we don't save him, he will die."

The young girl broke free from the old man's hand and refused to leave.

"Xiao Ya, this person really cannot be saved." the old man advised.

Grandfather, your medical skills are so powerful, you are proficient in all kinds of herbs, there are no injuries that you cannot heal. I know that because you were unable to save big brother at that time, you swore to never save him again, but right now, he is the same as big brother and is about to die.

The girl seemed to be angry and shouted at the old man, causing his entire body to tremble as he stared blankly at the girl.

After a moment of silence, the old man sighed. In the end, he was unable to refuse the girl. He put the basket down and handed it to her before squatting down and taking out a small box from his body.

When he opened the box, what was inside was surprisingly golden needles, golden needles.

The bones and muscles of the limbs and meridians of a person can all be connected. Through the art of acupuncture points, it can connect the Qi of a person, activate the blood to clear the meridians, and break through all obstructions.

Taking off the young man's clothes, a ball of flame appeared in the old man's hand, coiling around the golden needle. The golden flame needle slowly pierced towards the young man's skin, emitting a slight 'chi chi' sound.

The old man focused all of his attention on the young man's body and consecutively injected ninety-nine eighty-one needles, causing the young man's body to be filled with needles.0

When the girl at the side saw this scene, her eyes flashed with shock. Her grandfather, nine needles for his life, meant nine needles for his life.

However, at this moment, the old man had consecutively shot eighty-one needles. It could be seen that the young man's situation was no small matter.

After the ninety-nine needles pierced the youth's body, another ball of flame appeared in the old man's hand. As the golden needles moved forward, the flame on the needles did not extinguish and continued to pierce into the young man's skin, causing the young man's entire body to turn red.

As the needle stabbed into the ground, traces of jet-black blood flowed out and was evaporated by the flames.

At the same time, there was also a surge of water vapor that was constantly coming out of the young man's body. This water vapor was not coming out of the young man's mouth but coming out of his body.

The young girl saw that the young man's pale face had a tinge of redness to it, and her heart relaxed a bit. Nine needles to extend one's life, nine to eighty-one; it was impossible for this young man to not be saved.

The young man's body turned increasingly red, as though it was about to combust. His entire body glowed with the light of flames.

"Cough, cough!"

The coughing sound came out again, and it seemed to have an air of life, causing the girl's smile to grow brighter and brighter.

"Get up."

With a shake of his hand, all eighty-one needles appeared from the young man's body. The old man used a flame to burn them all up before placing them back into his wooden box and keeping them.

"Grandfather, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The girl asked the old man. Nine needles to extend one's life, 81 needles already. The young man should be more clear-headed.

"I don't want him to wake up yet."

The old man spoke, then lifted the youth's body and carried him on his back. He said to the girl: "Xiao Ya, carry the medicinal basket on your back together. Let's go back. His injuries aren't that simple."

"Alright."

The young girl nodded. Although she didn't really understand what the old man meant, since her grandfather agreed to save the young man, she would definitely save him.
