C4376 Living Dead
"Mother, mother! I plucked the spirit medicine and came back!"
Li Chou arrived at a dilapidated courtyard. The yellow soil on the walls of the courtyard was in tatters.
There were also a lot of weeds growing in the courtyard. It seemed that there was no one to take care of it.
Ning Qi's breath moved, and he sensed a woman with a weak breath in the only room. The woman was actually not old.
She might be in her early twenties, but the aura on her body had already faded away like a candle.
Li Chou rushed into the room. A figure on the bed barely raised his head to look at her. The corners of his eyes revealed a trace of a smile. "Girl, why are you so happy?"
"Mom, this is a spirit medicine. As long as I sell it, I can exchange it for money to hire a doctor to treat my mother."
Li Chou took out the spirit medicine as if he was presenting a treasure.
The weak woman's eyes lit up slightly, but then they dimmed. "Mother's illness can no longer be treated, girl. Bring the herbs to the village chief and ask him to sell them for two taels of silver. The silver taels will be placed at the village chief's side. As long as he gives you a mouthful of food, it will be enough. "
"Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? How can your illness not be cured? Oh right, and this Divine Immortal, the Divine Immortal will definitely be able to cure mother's illness."
A hint of panic appeared in Li Chou's eyes. She felt that her mother was different from usual and seemed to be explaining something.
Lord Divine Immortal?
Only then did the woman realize that there was another figure behind Li Chou. She looked at him and revealed a trace of a smile. "Which family are you from? Why have I never seen you before?"
"I'm from Qintang Temple."
Ning Qi smiled and went forward to take a look at the condition of the woman's body. To a mortal doctor, perhaps it was indeed incurable. There was no way to treat her, but to a cultivator, she was a Qi Refining Stage warrior. There was a way to extend his life, but a Nascent Soul cultivator like Ning Qi... It wouldn't be a problem for him to cut off his roots.
"Qintang Temple?"
The woman's face revealed a trace of astonishment. Where was this place? Why had she never heard of it before?
"Lord Divine Immortal."
Li Chou looked at Ning Qi with a begging expression.
"Don't worry. Your mother's illness won't be difficult."
Ning Qi smiled and waved his hand gently. A gentle stream of Spiritual Strength flowed out. When it landed on the woman's body, it was like a silent spring rain that swept away the hidden illness that had accumulated in her body for many years.
The woman's eyes gradually lit up. She opened her mouth in a somewhat stunned manner, then in the next moment, she sat up from the bed and looked at herself with a surprised expression.
"Mother?"
Li Chou looked at this scene in disbelief.
Ever since her mother fell ill, she was utterly unable to get off the bed, and was even unable to get up from the bed. But now, her mother actually sat up so easily, and the haggard expression on her face became extremely rosy. How could she seem like a seriously ill person?
"Lord Immortal...."
The woman stared at Ning Qi in a daze. In the next moment, she got off the bed and kowtowed to Ning Qi. With a pious expression, she said, "Many thanks to Divine Immortal for saving my mother and daughter's lives."
Ning Qi sighed in his heart. Apparently, the girl thought that Li Chou wouldn't be able to live after her death. Therefore, after her illness recovered, she had already lost two lives.
Cultivators were high and mighty, and they ate fine jade liquids.
Mortals were like ants, living an ignoble life.
This was how the world worked.
Li Chou also reacted. He hurriedly hugged the fox in his arms and knelt down together with her. Ever since she was young, she had never been as happy as she was today.
"Get up."
Ning Qi lightly waved his hand and used his spiritual energy to support the mother and daughter. When the fox in Li Chou's heart saw this scene, a trace of respect flashed across her narrow eyes.
"Li."
An old man's shout came from outside the door.
"Why is the village chief here?"
Li Shi was stunned.
"He should be here to plead for mercy."
Ning Qi smiled faintly. "I'll go out and take a look."
Begging for mercy?
Li Shi was puzzled in his heart. Li Chou hurriedly recounted what had just happened. When Li Shi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This Huang San actually dared to bully our lone female widow. He's truly devoid of conscience!"
If it wasn't for Ning Qi, she could imagine who would have obtained the spirit medicine that Li Chou had painstakingly dug up. Without the spirit medicine, if she died of illness again, Li Chou would have no one to rely on in the future, and he would also have the name of a mourning star. How would he have survived?
To the Li Clan, Huang San was like the murderer of Li Chou!
The three of them walked out of the courtyard. The village chief of Yellow Stone Village stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a group of villagers. They didn't dare to step in without permission, but when they saw the figure of the Li Clan, one of the villagers cried out in alarm and retreated repeatedly, his eyes revealing a look of fear.
The Li Clan had been seriously ill for many years. They knew that the Li Clan was simply unable to get out of bed. Every day, they had to drink medicine to replenish their lives, but now, the Li Clan was walking like a tiger in the wind. There was even a trace of malice between their brows. This was clearly a death that had turned into a malicious spirit. Talent! Before revealing himself in broad daylight!
"The Li Clan has become a ghost!"
"Everyone, run!"
The panic outside grew more and more. It was still the village chief who was experienced and knowledgeable. Noticing the shadow at the Li Clan's feet, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't spread false rumors. The Li Clan isn't dead at all. Can't you see the shadow of a person under the sun?"
Shadow under the sun?
Everyone finally reacted and looked over after hearing the news. Indeed, they really saw the shadow at the Li Clan's feet. Only then did the panicked hearts of everyone calm down a little.
"Village chief, could it be that when I'm sick, you can condone Huang San and the others bullying Li Chou?"
The Li Consortium went straight to the point.
The village chief of Yellow Stone Village was startled, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "This old man also didn't know that their hearts were so ruthless."
"If it wasn't for this Lord Divine Immortal, I'm afraid that my single daughter and mother would have been thrown into a mass grave even if they died today, and would have been bitten by wild wolves."
The Li Clan said coldly.
Ning Qi looked at her with some surprise. It seemed like she was also a powerful woman before she fell ill.
Li Xiao looked at Li Shi with a smile. No matter what happened now, she didn't care.
Seeing her familiar mother acting like she used to, supporting the family, she was satisfied.
"This..."
The village chief of Yellow Stone Village was at a loss for words.2
"What are you doing here?"
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
Only then did the chief of Yellow Stone Village react. He hurriedly bowed towards Ning Qi and said, "Lord cultivator, this lowly one has come to plead for Huang San and the others. Lord cultivator, please be magnanimous..."
"Begging for mercy? Then what is the point of begging for such an idle person?"
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head. "You guys can leave. If they can survive ten days and ten nights without dying, they will naturally live."
Ten days and ten nights?
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
With the situation Huang San and the others were in, how could they endure ten days and ten nights? Did they not need to eat and drink?
This was clearly a death sentence for them...
"Li, I intend to take Li Chou as my disciple. What do you think?"
Ning Qi looked at Li Su and said with a smile.
A cultivator taking in a disciple!
The village chief of Yellow Stone Village never would have thought that Li Chou would have such an opportunity. From this moment on, Li Chou was no longer the same person as them. He immediately gave up on the idea of pleading for Huang San and the others!
