506: Buried again

However, Wu Tian was somewhat reluctant.

His current state was very poor. Although he had woken up, if he were to leave now, he reckoned he would collapse again before getting very far.

At that point, who knew where he would end up unconscious?

At the very least, this place was quite safe.

Wu Tian looked at the father and daughter and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Um... could I stay here for a while?"

"..." The father and daughter exchanged a glance.

This person was truly thick-skinned!

Wu Tian noticed their reluctance and quickly continued: "Don't worry, as soon as my injuries recover, I will leave immediately. Furthermore, there will certainly be a generous reward afterward that will surely satisfy you. By the way, I am a member of the Wu Family."

As a True Immortal family, the Wu Family had quite a reputation in this Xuan Yun Heaven.

"The Wu Family?" Hearing this, the father and daughter were both somewhat surprised; the Wu Family was no simple matter. They must be very wealthy.

However, they looked at Wu Tian with a hint of suspicion and said: "Are you really from the Wu Family?"

In fact, when the middle-aged man had buried Wu Tian, he had already searched his body. He had searched him once and hadn't found anything good. He was dirt poor!

Could such a poor guy really be a member of the Wu Family?

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Wu Tian suddenly thought of his experience at the Hua Xia Branch.

Was he going to have to prove himself again this time?

Thinking of this, he felt a headache coming on. His head was spinning, his body swayed, and he actually fainted again.

"..." Seeing Wu Tian faint, the father and daughter were slightly stunned. The middle-aged man stepped forward and kicked Wu Tian. He still did not wake up.

The young woman blinked her beautiful eyes, pointed to the dirt pit on the side, and said: "Should we bury him back in?"

"He's not dead yet." The middle-aged man rolled his eyes.

He squatted down beside Wu Tian, checked him, and said in surprise: "His injuries have actually healed a little. Could it be that being buried in the soil helps his recovery?"

As he spoke, he looked at the dirt pit, deep in thought.

If this guy really was from the Wu Family, saving his life shouldn't be a loss. There would definitely be some reward.

After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man clapped his hands—better to save him first. Thinking this, he gave Wu Tian a gentle push, shoved him back into the dirt pit, and buried him directly.

After doing this, he clapped his hands, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This way, his injuries should recover a bit faster."

"Does that really work?" The woman asked, looking at the flattened ground.

The middle-aged man said confidently: "It must work! Before, he was almost dead, but after being buried in the soil for less than half a day, his injuries had already recovered a bit. It must be because of his special Physique. I suspect this guy can absorb energy from the soil. Being buried in the soil allows his injuries to recover quickly."

"Is that so? This kind of Physique is indeed quite special." The woman also nodded.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "The world is vast, and there are all kinds of wonders. Just like us, aren't we also unusual?"

"What do you mean, we've always been hiding," the woman pouted.

The middle-aged man also gave an awkward smile, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "That's because my strength isn't enough. When I can reach a Breakthrough to True Immortal one day, we won't have to hide anymore. This time, if I can really get some treasures from the Wu Family, maybe I can attempt a Breakthrough to True Immortal."

"But there are already Immortal King experts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," the woman said helplessly.

This father and daughter were indeed somewhat special and attracted covetous eyes, so they had to keep hiding, fearing being captured.

Hearing the woman's words, the middle-aged man had nothing to say, just shook his head and sighed: "Being able to become stronger is always a good thing."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, looked at the already filled-in pit, and said: "Alright. You go back and rest first; I'll just watch here."

"Alright then." The woman nodded and returned to the small courtyard.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, the smile on his face faded, his fists clenched slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Must become stronger."

Time passed, and this time, Wu Tian was unconscious for a bit longer—three whole days.

When he finally woke up, a familiar feeling immediately enveloped his whole body.

"..." Wu Tian struggled to open his mouth and immediately felt a smell of damp earth. Had he been buried in the soil again? Were those two people stupid? Did they think he was dead again?

He took a deep breath, inhaled a mouthful of dirt, and almost choked to death.

Wu Tian struggled to get up. However, this time, the middle-aged man had buried him very firmly, and Wu Tian's injuries had not only failed to recover but had actually become more serious, leaving him completely powerless.

It took a long while of struggling before he finally broke out of the soil.

He shook the dirt off his body, opened his eyes, and happened to see the father and daughter. The other party was staring straight at him.

Meeting his gaze, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he took the initiative to say: "You're awake. How are your injuries recovering?"

"???" Wu Tian was speechless.

You buried me in the soil, and you're asking me how my injuries are recovering?

Even if you didn't care about me and just threw me aside, I could still recover by absorbing moonlight. But you, you buried me in the soil, and I can't even absorb moonlight. How the hell am I supposed to recover!

Wu Tian was somewhat agitated, his head dizzy, and he almost fainted again. But he forced himself to stay up, fearing that if he lost consciousness again, he would be buried once more.

Taking a few deep breaths, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "Why did you bury me in the soil?"

"???" Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned and asked with a puzzled face: "Can't you recover faster when you're in the soil?"

"Who told you that?"

"Before, you were almost... cough cough, you were already dead, and after being buried in the soil, you came back to life. Isn't it because the soil has a special healing effect on you?" the middle-aged man said innocently.

Hearing this, Wu Tian's face turned dark as he looked at the innocent expressions of the father and daughter. He felt frustrated but had nowhere to vent. After all, they were doing it for his own good, and besides, given his current state, it was better not to be arrogant.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Wu Tian's voice calmed down as he said: "I wasn't dead to begin with. The soil doesn't have any special healing effects on me."

"Ah, this..." Hearing Wu Tian's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He coughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and said: "Sorry about that. I thought burying you in the soil would help your injuries recover faster. Uh, are you alright now?"
