66: Healed Li Erniu's grandfather
"Yes, Sect Master, we'll go now."
Seeing Bai Xiangling somewhat angered, the few Hundred Flowers Sect elders exchanged glances.
Immediately, three of them split off and flew towards the highest peak of the Ten Thousand Flowers Mountain Range.
Xuanzhou, outside a small village.
Jiang Chen, with Li Erniu, slowly descended from the sky.
Guided by Li Erniu, Jiang Chen slowly walked towards a small hut built with thatch.
"Hiss, isn't that Erniu? Didn't he go herding cattle? Why did he bring back such a handsome young master?"
"This young master, at first glance, is from a wealthy family. When did Erniu get to know such a rich young master?"
Watching Li Erniu lead Jiang Chen into the thatched hut.
Neighbors along the way all pointed and whispered curiously.
Jiang Chen was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding demeanor; he was clearly not an ordinary person.
But Li Erniu's family was the poorest in the entire village, so how could he know a rich young master like Jiang Chen?
Inside the thatched hut.
Li Erniu led Jiang Chen to a straw bed propped up with wooden sticks.
On it lay an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
At this moment, the old man's eyes were tightly closed, as if asleep, unaware of Jiang Chen and Li Erniu's approach.
"Grandpa, I'm back!" Li Erniu happily shouted to the old man on the bed.
After a while, his grandpa would be able to stand up again.
And he would be able to go to the Qingtian Sect to cultivate with peace of mind.
Becoming a cultivator was something he dreamed of, and now it could finally be realized. Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
Jiang Chen stood by, saying nothing, just watching quietly.
Hearing Li Erniu's shout.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and with a trembling, aged voice, he looked at Li Erniu and said, "Erniu, you're finally back. Grandpa thought something happened to you; you scared Grandpa to death."
Normally, Li Erniu would return very early after herding cattle every day.
But today he was several hours late. If he weren't paralyzed, he would have gone out to look for Li Erniu long ago.
Now seeing Li Erniu return safe and sound, he was finally relieved.
"Erniu, who is this young master...?" The old man glanced at Jiang Chen and asked Li Erniu with some concern.
He had noticed Jiang Chen long ago.
Such a distinguished young master shouldn't be in his dilapidated thatched hut.
Could it be that Li Erniu caused some trouble, and they came looking for him at home?
If that were the case.
Even if his family sold their only ox, they wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.
"Grandpa, don't worry, this is a senior I met today. Not only can he cure your illness, but he also wants to take me back to his sect to cultivate." Hearing the old man's question, Li Erniu immediately stepped forward and replied.
Of course, he knew what the old man was worried about.
Ever since the old man became paralyzed in bed, he had taught him not to get into conflicts with others.
He had to endure insults without retorting and blows without fighting back.
Because there was no one in the family who could stand up for him anymore, if he provoked others, he would be the only one to suffer.
"Hiss, a cultivator? Can he cure my illness?" The old man looked at Jiang Chen with a shocked expression.
He was actually a cultivator himself.
Just a Body Tempering Realm cultivator, not yet at the Qi Gathering stage.
His injuries.
Were caused by spiritual energy disorder during his breakthrough to Qi Gathering, which led to fractured meridians.
Repairing fractured meridians was not something an ordinary person could do; even a legendary Void Breaking Realm expert might not be able to accomplish it.
If the handsome young man Li Erniu brought back could repair his meridians.
Wouldn't that mean he was even stronger than a Void Breaking Realm expert?
"It's true, Grandpa, Senior is amazing! Not only can he fly, but he can also kill thousands of cultivators with a wave of his hand." Seeing the old man's stunned expression, Li Erniu, fearing he wouldn't believe it, hurriedly explained.
"Alright, Erniu, let this Venerable One quickly heal your grandpa's injuries, and then we can return to the sect earlier."
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
He waved out a Great Emperor power to repair the old man's fractured meridians.
He, a Great Emperor Expert, still needed a mortal to brag for him?
Before entering, he already knew the old man's injuries.
This kind of meridian fracture might be difficult for others, but in front of him, a Great Emperor, it was merely a waste of a trace of power.
He didn't want to waste too much time here.
After quickly healing the old man, he still had to return to the sect to enjoy Liu Shu's new massage techniques.
Soon, the old man's meridians were restored as new under the repair of the Great Emperor's power.
The width and toughness of the meridians were many times stronger than before.
Now, Li Erniu's grandfather could be considered to have turned misfortune into a blessing.
If he were to cultivate again, he would definitely soar, possibly even breaking through to the Celestial Venerable realm.
He would no longer fracture his meridians just by trying to break through to Qi Gathering, as he did before.
"I... I'm really cured?"
The old man felt his body could move, sat up, and murmured in disbelief.
He hadn't even had time to say a word to Jiang Chen before his meridians were repaired.
Such powerful methods truly opened his eyes.
"Grandpa, you finally sat up!" Li Erniu grabbed the old man's hand excitedly when he saw him sit up.
For years, he had yearned for the old man to be able to stand again, and today it was finally realized.
"Erniu, you've suffered these past few years."
The old man reached out, wanting to touch Li Erniu's head.
But he looked at Jiang Chen, who was standing silently beside them.
He immediately crawled off the bed and knelt before Jiang Chen, kowtowing and shouting, "Thank you, Senior, for the grace of rebirth. This junior has no way to repay you, so I can only kowtow in gratitude."
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The old man vigorously kowtowed against the dirt floor of the house.
In a moment, he had created a large pit several meters deep.
Jiang Chen had repaired his meridians; he was like his reborn parent.
Let alone kowtowing a few times, he would even acknowledge Jiang Chen as his grandfather.
After all, such an amazing grandpa was impossible to find even with a lantern.
"Alright, old man, stop kowtowing."
Looking at the several-meter-deep pit in front of him, Jiang Chen helplessly waved out a burst of power to help the old man up.
He originally wanted to accept the old man's kowtows of gratitude, so that the old man's thoughts could be more at ease.
Unexpectedly, this old man was also a straightforward person.
If he didn't speak, the old man would keep kowtowing vigorously.
If he didn't stop him, he feared the entire thatched hut would be collapsed by his kowtows.
"Thank you, Senior."
The old man wiped the blood from his forehead and said to Li Erniu with a serious expression, "Erniu, it is your great fortune that Senior thinks highly of you. When you arrive at Senior's sect, you must cultivate diligently. If anything happens, you must be the first to rush forward and not let down Senior's kindness, understand?"
Although he didn't know what Jiang Chen's cultivation level was.
But to be able to easily repair his meridians, he was definitely an expert above the Void Breaking Realm.
For such a powerful sect to take an interest in Li Erniu, a mere mortal, was his immense blessing.
If he still didn't know how to be grateful, then he and his grandson wouldn't deserve to live in this world.
