8: Sign in to get the best Heaven-Mending Pill

The mysterious person said something to the cold man, causing the already cold man to show a hint of fear.

Not long after, they left the scene... In the small mountain village, as soon as the sun rose, the village entrance was already filled with villagers, chattering as they waited for something.

Every villager's face was full of anticipation, yet also a hint of worry, fearing that Lin Hao's team might not arrive in the village on time. If they couldn't arrive on time, it would mean something unexpected had happened, which was a situation they did not want to see.

Just as they were looking forward, several carriages slowly appeared at the end of their sight.

"They're here, they're back!"

An unknown villager was the first to shout, then quickly ran towards the carriage team.

With one person leading, the villagers behind also swarmed forward. Only the Old Village Chief watched this scene with a smile from behind. This time every month was when the villagers were happiest.

Before the carriages even reached the village entrance, they were surrounded by villagers, making it impossible to move. Helplessly, Lin Hao quickly poked his head out of the carriage.

"Everyone, don't rush. This time, there's definitely enough goods for everyone to share. Let's get into the village first, okay?"

"Alright, disperse, disperse!"

Hearing Lin Hao's confident words, all the villagers made way, but they still followed close to the carriages, wanting to get their supplies early so they could go home and work.

Soon, the carriages drove into an open space in the middle of the village and stopped.

As soon as the carriages stopped, Lin Hao and his team got off to unload the supplies. Ye Ming also helped.

After unloading the supplies, they immediately began distributing them to the villagers.

When most of the villagers had collected their goods and left, a small figure slowly walked up to Ye Ming.

"Brother Ye, I'm here to get my things!"

Lin Xiaoyu stood in front of Ye Ming, looking up at him after he had just finished working, her big eyes curved into a smile as she happily spoke to him.

Brother Ye is finally back! We haven't eaten together for several days!

Hearing the voice, Ye Ming lowered his head and saw Xiaoyu looking at him happily, her expression quite cute.

"Little Sister Xiaoyu, didn't your mother come with you to get your things?"

Ye Ming squatted down, trying to meet Lin Xiaoyu's gaze, and asked her with a smile, reaching out to pat her head.

"No, Mama is taking care of Papa and can't leave!" Lin Xiaoyu was used to Ye Ming patting her head, and just shook her head as she replied.

Then she grinned and asked, "Brother Ye, can you take them back with me?"

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyu looked at Ye Ming with anticipation. Her family's things seemed to be a bit much; she couldn't carry them.

"Okay, let's go!"

Ye Ming smiled and nodded, then picked up Xiaoyu's family's things and his own, took Xiaoyu's hand, and stood up to leave.

Before leaving, Ye Ming turned back and shouted to Lin Hao and the others, "Big Brother Lin Hao, I'll head back first!"

"Alright, go ahead!"

Lin Hao stood up and responded, then continued to bend down to pack things. After he finished, he could also go back. His wife couldn't wait.

And Ye Ming took Xiaoyu back to her house.

After arriving at Xiaoyu's house, Ye Ming first helped put away Xiaoyu's things, then went to visit Lin Fengqi.

Upon entering the room, a wooden bed came into his sight. On the wooden bed lay a middle-aged man, and a woman sat by the bed, gently wiping the man's body with a tender expression, muttering something under her breath.

"Mama, Brother Ye is here!"

After Xiaoyu entered the room, she ran to the woman and called out to her.

Hearing this, Su Wanru looked towards the doorway, just as Ye Ming walked in.

"Xiao Ming, you're here? How was your trip to town?" Su Wanru asked Ye Ming softly.

"It was quite good." Ye Ming nodded, then looked at the man lying motionless on the bed. "Sister Wanru, how is Big Brother Lin doing?"

Hearing this, Su Wanru merely shook her head and sighed, "Alas, still the same. He hasn't woken up yet!"

"I see. Sister Wanru, try talking to Big Brother Lin more about your happy memories together every day to stimulate him. Perhaps one day, Big Brother Lin will recover!"

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then suggested this. Although this method wasn't the only one, it was currently the only thing Sister Wanru could do.

"Hmm, I'll try my best!"

Su Wanru heard the suggestion and could only try it.

Seeing Su Wanru's worried expression, Ye Ming offered a few words of comfort and then left. He currently had no other way to cure him; the brain was a mysterious area of the human body, and with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he couldn't rashly touch it. Low Grade healing Medicinal Pills would also have no effect.

Returning to his room, Ye Ming sat cross-legged on the bed to Cultivate. He hadn't Cultivated for several days and needed to make up for it.

Time flew by, and Ye Ming spent another year peacefully in the village.

This year, he had been to town three times and the Loose Cultivator market only twice, but no more Loose Cultivators with poor judgment came to ambush him. Ye Ming still felt a bit regretful.

After all, those four people before had contributed over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, several first-tier Low Grade Magical Artifacts, one first-tier Mid-Grade Magical Artifact, some Low Grade Medicinal Pills, and so on.

Moreover, he hadn't encountered any Bandits during those three round trips. Ye Ming was puzzled, so he inquired about places where Bandits existed, but after going there, he didn't see a single soul.

He originally wanted to find the lair of that group of Bandits from before, but he couldn't find it. The area was simply too vast. There was nothing he could do but wait for an opportunity to catch one and interrogate them.

If he didn't eliminate these Bandits, the village would probably not be safe when he left, and Bandits could raid it at any time.

However, he waited for a whole year.

That night, the night wind gently blew from afar, rustling Ye Ming's medium-length hair. As usual, he lay on the rooftop, eagerly awaiting the arrival of midnight.

Because after midnight tonight, he could sign in, and he was very much looking forward to what he would sign in for this year.

As he waited, the crescent moon in the sky had moved directly above his head, indicating that the time for signing in had arrived.

At the same time, the voice he had been anticipating appeared in Ye Ming's mind.

[Ding, the Host has spent another year in the Immortal Cultivation World. Would you like to sign in?]

Hearing the System's voice, Ye Ming did not hesitate and immediately chanted silently,

"Sign in!"

[Ding, second year sign-in successful! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a bottle of supreme heaven mending pill!]

[Reward has been stored in the System Space. The Host can check it at any time!]

As the words fell, the System became silent. No matter how Ye Ming called it, it would not appear, only popping up once a year at sign-in time.

After the System's prompt, Ye Ming went to look at the item he had just signed in for, then took out a jade bottle from the System Space.

He looked closely and found that this jade bottle was actually a treasure.

Is this a gift from the System? It's quite good.

As for why he knew this bottle was a treasure, it was naturally due to a small function of the System: as long as he stared at an item signed in by the System for one second, an item description would automatically appear next to it.

This was the only small function introduced when the System was first bound, and he only used it today.
