Chapter 864 282: Divine Soul! Physique!
"It's just that my current cultivation is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which is decent within the sect, but far from enough outside. So if it's just up to me, I can't send Ximen Baojian into Tiesi City directly. We have to figure out a way to get him back to Tiesi City."
After saying this, she looked at Yuchi with some expectation.
The whole situation was quite overwhelming.
I only dozed off for a moment, and now I find myself in this exaggerated situation.
So if you ask me to come up with a solution immediately, it's not possible. I could only look at Yuchi with a hopeful gaze, hoping the young man could offer some help at this time.
"I have brought shame upon the family's honor." He felt pretty dejected: It was all because his embrace was too warm!
Blaming me?
And what kind of family is yours anyway? I really don't see what so-called honor your family has now... Anyway, back to the point, Yuchi's thought process was relatively straightforward.
Since Ximen Baojian is already unconscious, there's really no point in keeping him here.
So let's just send him directly to Tiesi City. I'll spend some money and get other cultivators to help, and send Ximen Baojian into Tiesi City. Then, let's see if this dude survives. After all, I'm just a passerby, not really knowing Ximen Baojian, saving his life once was enough. He's not a pretty girl; why waste so much money and effort when my own gold and silver are precious.
At this moment, an old man walked over.
The old man leaned on a cane, exuding an air of mystery. Beside him was a girl of about ten years old.
"Young friends, may I take a look at this person? Maybe I can figure out what's happened to him," the old man kindly offered.
He clearly wasn't from the Third State because his speech was very formal and old-fashioned, clearly marking him as an outsider. Yet, his words were still clear and understandable.
"Senior, who might you be?" Qi Baiyu immediately asked with a bow, as this elder seemed impressive and appeared at just the right moment like a wise mentor.
The old man stroked his beard: "Who I am is unimportant. Why I came to such a place is what matters more..."
Eeh, a show-off... Yuchi turned his head, quietly spat on the ground, and let out a "tch".
The old man awkwardly coughed to cover his emotions and then said: "You may call me Medicine Field Thirteen."
Medicine Field Thirteen? Yuchi and Qi Baiyu exchanged glances, wondering if he was a really skilled pharmacist. Was it a coincidence?
The girl nearby, wearing a large bamboo hat, spoke from behind it: "We are from the Medicine Master Valley, of the 'Yao' (Medicine) generation. My master was bestowed the surname 'Medicine Field' by the valley. He is the thirteenth elder with the Medicine Field surname, known outside as Medicine Field Thirteen, but internally as Sun Miaoxing."
After she finished speaking, the girl stood proudly, waiting for admiration from those around her. But there was only a short silence and slight awkwardness. As she squinted through the veil of her hat to look outside, she found Yuchi and Qi Baiyu whispering in a corner.
"Baiyu, have you ever heard of this name?"
"I haven't, have you?"
"I haven't either. So is this Medicine Field Thirteen, or Sun Miaoxing, a really formidable person?"
"Perhaps, but do all experts introduce themselves like that?"
"Baiyu, you just don't understand. True experts care a lot about their reputation, but when they first meet someone, they're too shy to directly state their illustrious names. So they bring along a disciple to introduce them, making them seem impressive and giving others the impression of 'wow, how amazing.'
"Got it!"
"Yes, it's like you and me, you stand by and praise me, which makes me seem more impressive. If I praised myself, it would be a bit embarrassing. Situations like this happen in life, but we generally don't notice them deeply."
"Understood! Yuchi, you're so insightful!"
Yuchi and Qi Baiyu stood not far away, whispering. Meanwhile, Medicine Field Thirteen, Sun Miaoxing, was already sweating quite a bit, and his young disciple was on the verge of losing her temper.
Then Sun Miaoxing cleared his throat and said to his fist, "Getting back to the matter at hand, I might be able to help your friend."
Really?
Qi Baiyu and Yuchi returned to Ximen Baojian's side together, with Yuchi still somewhat skeptical.
After all, they still didn't know why Sun Miaoxing suddenly appeared here, not to mention why he chose to approach them. They were not in a noticeable place, but hidden some 30 to 40 feet from the crowd, with trees providing some cover.
