Chapter 107: Renowned Healer from Jiangnan
“Your parents didn’t abandon you… they were taken away by an immortal!”
Hearing Liu Wensong’s words, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes.
Immortal?
In today’s world, where could one find an immortal?
The only “immortal” he had encountered was the long-dead monk named Yu Chengji, whose bones now rested in the Shennong Great Forest.
With the spiritual energy fading from the world, it had entered a truly magical decline; where could there be an immortal?
Could it be a great grandmaster?
Bai Chen pondered silently in his heart.
However, Liu Wensong’s next words made his frown deepen.
“They… they are not from the martial arts world…”
“Their abilities surpass all martial artists; they are true immortals.”
“Before your parents left, that immortal said they would return after twenty-five years. If we count the days, there’s just one year left.”
“By then…”
Liu Wensong wanted to say more, but he did not continue.
At that moment, a bustling noise came from outside the door.
“Mr. Ye, please hurry!”
Liu Yunhe respectfully led Ye Tao into the room.
Behind him followed the members of the Liu family.
Seeing Liu Jiaoxue crying on Liu Wensong, Liu Yunhe frowned slightly.
“Jiaoxue, get up! The renowned healer from Jiangnan has arrived!”
Liu Jiaoxue’s mind was still a bit muddled.
Partly because of her reluctance to part with Liu Wensong, and partly due to the words he had just spoken.
Her parents were taken away by an immortal?
And they were coming back next year?
What did that even mean?
Could it be that immortals really existed in this world?
Liu Jiaoxue walked to the side like a marionette.
Liu Yunhe welcomed Ye Tao in front of Liu Wensong with a respectful face.
“Mr. Ye, please help my elder extend his life for a few days.”
Ye Tao wore a look of disdain, with a proud expression, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, and he sported a small goatee on his chin.
“Mr. Liu, we agreed on the payment beforehand. Where is the item you mentioned?”
Hearing Ye Tao’s words, Liu Yunhe waved to Liu Zehai.
"Third Brother, go get the item that Mr. Ye wants."
Liu Zehai quickly brought over a red rectangular wooden box.
Ye Tao looked at the box with a glimmer of excitement and greed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Liu Yunhe took the box and opened it, releasing a fresh aroma that filled everyone’s nostrils.
All the onlookers couldn’t help but take a deep breath in.
Inside the box was a wisteria that emitted a faint blue glow.
Seeing the wisteria, Liu Jiaoxue snapped out of her trance, her expression changing.
"Second Uncle! Why did you take this out?"
Liu Yunhe frowned slightly.
"Jiaoxue, stop causing trouble here! This was the agreement I made with Mr. Ye."
"This wisteria has been with the Liu family for so long; aside from glowing, what else can it do? If we give it to Mr. Ye, he will help your grandfather extend his life for a few days."
Ye Tao stroked his goatee and smiled gently at Liu Jiaoxue.
"Miss Liu, your grandfather is approaching his end, and he is an innate martial artist. To extend his life will require quite a price!"
"To be honest, I’m only interested in your family’s wisteria because it is a rare item. For me, it might not even have much effect!"
"This is a complete loss for me! If it were anywhere else, I wouldn’t even bother!"
Liu Yunhe nodded.
"Jiaoxue, you don’t know, but Mr. Ye charges quite a sum for his services in Jiangnan, and he never accepts cash! He only accepts valuable items that are hard to come by!"
"Do you think I invited Mr. Ye here for nothing?"
"Alright, enough nonsense. Stay aside and don’t make a fuss. Hurry and take those people you brought to leave."
After saying this, Liu Yunhe smiled respectfully at Ye Tao.
"Mr. Ye, please!"
At that moment, Bai Chen’s gaze was also fixed on the wisteria that emitted blue light, his brow furrowed.
"This thing…"
Bai Chen pondered for a moment before a flash of insight struck him.
"I didn’t expect this item to still exist! Looks like I have truly found a treasure this time!"
The item the Liu family possessed was called Ziling Wood, which appeared to be wisteria on the surface.
In reality, it was made from the branches of Ziling Wood intertwined together.
And Ziling Wood was the best material for crafting low-tier magical items ten thousand years ago!
Bai Chen had many magical items before.
But ten thousand years had passed, and with the spiritual energy fading,
those items had long since turned into scrap metal, lost in the river of history.
Now that there is Ziling Wood, along with the spirit stones collected from Yu Chengji’s cave,
Bai Chen can easily create a few small magical items!
These magical items hold no value for him.
But in the hands of Nan Yue Ran and Bai Nian Nian, they would become powerful defensive tools!
He can guarantee that with these magical items, the martial artists in the secular world wouldn’t be able to breach their defenses!
This way, Bai Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran’s safety would be ensured.
After all, he cannot watch over them all the time.
Especially since it seems that some martial artists want to come after him lately.
Looking at the Ziling Wood in Liu Yunhe’s hands, Bai Chen knew he had to get it!
However, to obtain this Ziling Wood from the Liu family, he must first act to save Liu Wensong.
Seeing Ye Tao tuck the Ziling Wood into his clothing, Liu Jiaoxue became anxious.
"No! This item is for Mr. Bai! I used it to make Mr. Bai help save my grandfather!"
Upon hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Liu Yunhe frowned.
"Girl! Even at this moment, you’re causing trouble!"
But at the same time, Ye Tao, who had heard Liu Jiaoxue’s words, paused his actions and smirked.
"Oh? It seems that the Liu family isn’t united internally?"
Hearing Ye Tao’s words, Liu Yunhe’s face turned pale.
"Mr. Ye, you worry too much; I am in charge of the Liu family now! You just focus on healing!"
"No, Second Uncle! Mr. Bai’s medical skills are definitely better than this renowned healer from Jiangnan! Mr. Bai is someone with divine abilities!"
Ye Tao looked at Liu Jiaoxue, then glanced at Bai Chen behind her, showing a hint of mockery.
"Miss Liu, do you know why I am called the renowned healer from Jiangnan?"
"When I make a move, I can even bring the dead back to life. This time, considering your family’s wisteria, I will extend your grandfather’s life by seven days."
"However, since you just spoke rudely to me, I’ve decided to reduce it to five days!"
Hearing Ye Tao’s words, the faces of the Liu family members all changed.
Liu Yunhe, upon hearing this, immediately turned and slapped Liu Jiaoxue across the face, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Stupid girl! Are you determined to bring ruin to the Liu family?!"
With that slap, Liu Jiaoxue’s fair face instantly turned red.
Liu Yunhe then turned and knelt before Ye Tao.
"Mr. Ye! My girl is ignorant; please spare her!"
Ye Tao looked proud.
"Hmph! A word once spoken cannot be taken back! I, the renowned healer from Jiangnan, am not someone that any random person can compare to!"
"What’s this nonsense about Mr. Bai? I haven’t even heard of him, yet he dares to compete with me?"
Seeing Ye Tao’s disdainful face, Fang Yu, who had been holding back, could no longer control himself.
"You dog! I’ll slap you to death!"
