Chapter 110: Seeking and Questioning Immortals
Liu Wensong’s words made everyone present fall silent.
Liu Jiaoxue’s heart raced.
Her grandfather’s words reminded her of the scene she had witnessed in Shennong Great Forest.
Bai Chen seemed to know everything in advance, leading them precisely to the center of Shennong Great Forest.
Only Bai Chen entered the small cabin in the center of the lake.
Later, Bai Chen faced a siege from numerous innate martial artists, among them a half-step grandmaster.
With so many opponents attacking, Bai Chen simply waved his hand and instantly defeated them all!
Such skills are no different from those of an immortal!
Bai Chen’s strength surely must be beyond that of a master!
The Su family misjudged Bai Chen’s abilities!
Liu Jiaoxue gazed at Bai Chen’s back intensively, her heart filled with excitement.
At that moment, Fang Yu also shifted his thoughts.
His master, Hu Lin, had personally stated that Bai Chen was his own mentor.
Hu Lin was already in his fifties or sixties, which meant Bai Chen must have started teaching him medicine long ago.
Thus, Bai Chen’s real age must be in his seventies or eighties.
And to maintain such a youthful appearance at seventy or eighty—how could he not be an immortal?
For a moment, Fang Yu was left in a daze.
His mentor was an immortal?
So, he was an immortal’s disciple?
Zhao Ya was equally astonished.
She had thought Bai Chen was merely talented and skilled in medicine, but it seemed to be something far more significant.
Everyone looked at Bai Chen, eagerly awaiting his response.
Bai Chen lightly regarded Liu Wensong and countered,
"I am not an immortal; you are overthinking it."
In truth, immortals are still humans and will eventually die.
However, Bai Chen would not die; his life and death surpassed all rules.
He is a Patriarch Zombie, undying and unyielding.
Far more powerful than so-called immortals.
Moreover, the ‘immortal’ Liu Wensong referred to was merely an ordinary cultivator.
In this world, where can you find a true immortal?
Even ten thousand years ago, there were hardly any who could be called immortals.
Everyone is just one among many cultivators.
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s response, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the others.
However, Liu Wensong did not believe it at all.
"Mr. Bai, forgive my bluntness, but if you are not an immortal, how could you know the name of Ziling Wood?"
Bai Chen smiled lightly.
"Many people in this world know the name of this thing. Are they all immortals?"
"This world is indeed vast. I am not an immortal, nor am I a martial artist. You cannot understand my existence."
"Now, it is time to talk about your matters, that secret."
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Liu Wensong sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Liu Wensong looked at Liu Jiaoxue and waved his hand.
Liu Jiaoxue stepped forward to Liu Wensong.
Gazing at Liu Jiaoxue’s familiar face, Liu Wensong said:
"Your parents were taken away by an immortal twenty-four years ago. Before they left, the immortal told me they would return in twenty-five years."
"And by then, the world will change greatly. Taking your parents away was a chance for them. When they come back, they will lead the Liu family to soar."
Hearing Liu Wensong’s words, Bai Chen contemplated for a moment and asked:
"What did the immortal look like? What methods did he use? Do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wensong fell into memories.
"That immortal wore white clothing, looking like an ancient person, and could fly. When he took Jiaoxue’s parents away, he just waved his robe and left."
"I only remember it was a snowy night when that immortal turned into a flash of light and disappeared."
Bai Chen was taken aback by Liu Wensong’s words.
This ability indicated that the immortal Liu Wensong spoke of must be quite powerful.
Flying in the air was a symbol of aura foundation for cultivators ten thousand years ago.
That person’s strength could not have been lower than the foundation stage.
"Interesting, in this era, how did those cultivators manage to break through?"
Bai Chen recalled the barrier from Yu Chengji.
It had stored quite a bit of spiritual energy, comparable to the environments from ten thousand years ago.
"If in such an environment, it is indeed possible for cultivators to emerge."
"However, twenty-four years ago, I had not yet fallen into slumber. I didn’t even notice those people’s existence. Interesting. Did they also construct a barrier array like Yu Chengji?"
"Could it be that the tremors when I awakened were also related to these people?"
The surrounding people saw Bai Chen lost in thought and did not dare to interrupt.
After a while, Bai Chen’s furrowed brows relaxed.
Liu Wensong said Liu Jiaoxue’s parents would return next year.
When Liu Jiaoxue’s parents were taken away, it was winter.
Calculating the days, in a few months, Liu Jiaoxue’s parents would return.
"Mr. Bai, this is all I know. I cannot wait until Jiaoxue’s parents come back."
"When the time comes, I will leave a letter. If you want to know more, you can ask Jiaoxue’s parents."
Bai Chen nodded slightly.
"I understand."
Staying here held no further meaning.
Ziling Wood was already in hand, and Bai Chen wanted to quickly make the protective artifact and give it to Bai Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran.
In this world, even immortals have emerged, making it increasingly dangerous for ordinary people.
After leaving the Liu family, Bai Chen returned to the medicinal meal shop.
Fang Yu and Zhao Ya continued to learn alongside Bai Chen.
With the two of them, the medicinal meal shop did not need to close; they were enough to manage it.
Although Bai Chen did not find herbs similar to ginseng essence on this trip, the value of Ziling Wood was even greater.
Using ginseng essence as the main ingredient and other three to four hundred-year-old herbs as secondary ingredients, Bai Chen began to customize herbal soup for Bai Nian Nian.
Fang Yu and Zhao Ya helped out while learning from Bai Chen.
Bai Chen glanced at the time; it was already time for school to end.
After reminding the two to watch the heat, Bai Chen went to bring Bai Nian Nian back.
Accompanying her was Su Qing Li.
When Su Qing Li learned that Fang Yu and Zhao Ya were following Bai Chen to study medicine, her eyes widened.
"Mr. Bai, do you think I can…"
"No."
Before Su Qing Li could finish speaking, Bai Chen rejected her.
Two people were already a handful; adding a third would be a disaster.
While teaching one person, two are still manageable, but three changes the dynamic.
What Bai Chen cared about was Nan Yue Ran’s feelings.
Before long, the herbal soup was ready; it was specially made for Bai Nian Nian by Bai Chen.
Then, under Bai Chen’s guidance, Fang Yu and Zhao Ya made another pot of herbal soup for dinner.
After everyone had eaten well, they bid farewell to Bai Chen and left.
Bai Chen felt satisfied; Fang Yu and Zhao Ya had good talents.
In just one afternoon, they could make qualified herbal soup.
In the future, when he went out, he could confidently leave the shop in their hands.
Just as Bai Chen was preparing to take Bai Nian Nian home, Nan Yue Ran’s call came in.
"Bai Chen, hurry back! Shi Yue has been kidnapped! Someone also attacked me today!"
Nan Yue Ran’s voice was filled with tears over the phone.
Hearing Nan Yue Ran’s words, Bai Chen’s expression changed.
"Yue Ran, find a safe place first! I will be right over!"
"Okay, I will wait for you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Chen’s expression gradually darkened as he quickly took Bai Nian Nian back home.
