Chapter 42: A Merely Damaged Lung Meridian, That’s All

Translator: 549690339

Daoist Xingyun was so terrified that he fell to the ground, trembling.

In his sea of consciousness.

He saw a Black Tortoise that was as tall as the sky. Its four legs were like pillars that supported the sky. Endless seawater surged around its body as if it wanted to drown the heavens!

A huge divine dog stood on the chessboard that was densely covered with chess lines. The stars were on the chessboard, and the galaxy was on the chessboard. It opened its bloody mouth as if it wanted to devour the sky and the moon!

There was also a divine ant that walked out of the chaos. The aura of chaos around its body spread, and the infinite space collapsed!

“Black Tortoise, Heaven Swallowing Dog, Chaos Ant…”

“Hiss

Daoist Xingyun gasped. His cultivation of the ninth stage Tribulation Transcendence realm was nothing in front of these divine beasts.

Facing these four powerful auras, Daoist Xingyun felt like he was a leaf in the wind that could be torn apart by the hurricane at any time.

He sat on the ground, not daring to move at all!

“Oh, you’re awake.”

At this moment.

Xiao Changtian came back from his morning walk.

Daoist Nebula walked out, but he was sitting on the ground, and his body seemed to be trembling.

Xiao Changtian was slightly stunned. He was puzzled. Could it be that the old man’s injuries had not recovered yet?

It shouldn’t be!

According to his advanced medical skills and the old man’s strong body, he should have recovered.

However, Xiao Changtian still walked over to help the old man.

As Xiao Changtian approached, Daoist Xingyun instantly felt the pressure of the Black Tortoise and the other divine beasts disappear.

“Is it this person in front of us?” Daoist Xingyun was old and experienced. How could he not feel it? It was because of Xiao Changtian’s appearance that the Black Tortoise and the other divine beasts withdrew their pressure.

With a whoosh, he hurriedly stood up.

“Thank you for saving my life, Senior.” Daoist Xingyun stood there like a lackey and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Xiao Changtian.

“No need. It’s not a serious injury.”

“However, you need to pay the medical fees.”Xiao Changtian waved his hand and smiled.

“Medical expenses?” Daoist Nebula was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of the term medical treatment.

However, it was understandable that a senior would ask for medical fees after saving him.

But this time, he left in a hurry and did not bring any treasures with him. How should he repay Senior?

Daoist Heiyun hesitated.

Xiao Changtian looked at Taoist Xingyun who was hesitating and paused for a moment. Did this old man not understand what he said?

After all, the word ‘medical’ was not common on the Tian Yuan Continent!

After thinking for a while, Xiao Changtian said tactfully,’”‘! spent a lot of money to save you.”

The clothes of the grandfather and grandson in front of him were extremely expensive. He had never even seen some of the threads on their clothes before!

One look and you could tell that he was rich!

Since he was a rich man, he had at least saved him from the gates of hell. It was not too much to ask for medical fees, right?

“I understand, but I don’t know what Senior wants.”Daoist Nebula asked.

He was at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcendence realm and was extremely clear that it was extremely difficult to treat injuries at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcendence realm. Senior must have used supreme divine medicine and great divine powers.

The price he paid was not light!

No matter what kind of spiritual treasure Senior wanted, he had to agree! The kindness of saving his life was not something that could be measured by cultivation resources, spirit stones, or treasures.

Even if the senior wanted some treasure of Nebula Sect, he would go back and get it.

“Then I’ll speak. You have to be mentally prepared.”Xiao Changtian looked at Taoist Xingyun and confirmed again.

He was afraid that asking for twenty gold taels was too much and would scare the grandfather and grandson.

“Your life-saving grace is priceless. No matter how much, I will definitely do it.”Daoist Nebula said respectfully.

“Yes.” Xiao Changtian nodded. It seemed that the old man in front of him was also a loyal and kind person. He would take a little less.

“Ten taels of gold then.” Xiao Changtian saw the good character of the old man and directly gave him a 50% discount.

“Ten taels of gold?”

Daoist Nebula was stunned. Shock, doubt, fear, panic, and other emotions appeared in his heart at the same time.

When Xiao Changtian said ten gold taels, he was indeed shocked.

Senior’s great kindness only costs ten taels of gold?

Could it be that he had done something wrong that made Senior angry and Senior wanted to chase him away?

“Do you want to add more points?” Daoist Xingyun asked cautiously.

Senior saved his life, and he only asked for ten taels of gold?

To Daoist Xingyun, ten taels of gold was like a stone on the roadside. It was as insignificant as dirt.

II

Increase the bid?”

Hearing this, Xiao Changtian was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. It seemed that this old man was really rich.

Compared to Perfected Qing Yun, he was much richer.

Moreover, the old man had taken the initiative to increase the price. Xiao Changtian admired this kind of behavior!

“Then add another five taels of gold.” Xiao Changtian smiled.

“Five taels of gold, this…”

Taoist Xingyun was completely dumbfounded. What did he do wrong? To make such an expert like Senior not even want his own reward!

“Fellow Daoist Xingyun, Master has hidden himself from the mortal world and is now a mortal. Everything can be done according to the etiquette of mortals.”

Just as Daoist Xingyun was in a daze, Mu Jiuhuang’s vital essence voice transmission notification arrived.

“Conceal the mortal world? As a mortal?”

Perfected Qing Yun instantly understood.

When one’s cultivation realm reached a certain level, everything that one had once pursued and treated as treasures would become empty and meaningless.

When he became Emperor Nebula, he had the same mentality! This was the state of mind that only invincible experts had.

However, the senior in front of him had a higher realm and had reached the point of returning to his original state. He had chosen mortals as his starting point and played around in the world.

After thinking this through, Daoist Xingyun understood that the senior had asked for fifteen taels of gold, but he did not mean to vent his anger on him.

“Senior, fifteen gold taels, I’ll go to the exchange firm to get it.”

“Ling ‘Er, wait here.”

Daoist Xingyun said and gestured to Xiao Changtian. He then walked out of the courtyard, pretending to go to the exchange firm to withdraw money. In fact, he went out to find a pawn shop and pawned a piece of jade on him for twenty taels of gold.

“This old man is really honest.”Xiao Changtian looked at Daoist Xingyun’s back and sighed.

He didn’t expect this old man to withdraw money without hesitation! It was indeed worth saving.

“Little girl, what’s your name? Where are you from?” Xiao Changtian sat down with a faint smile on his face. He looked at Xing Ling ‘er and asked gently.

Xiao Changtian had a deep impression of Xing Ling ‘er’s weak body when she carried her grandfather on her back and begged for help outside her courtyard.

“Big Brother, my name is Xing Ling ‘er. I came from the Central Heaven Continent with my grandfather. Cough cough Xing Ling’ er’s tender face carried a happy smile as she answered in a childish voice.

Due to her constant illness, she had been following Daoist Xingyun and had never interacted with anyone of her age. Even though Xing Ling ‘er was already eight years old, her behavior was similar to that of a five-year-old child.

The big brother in front of him had cured his grandfather. He was a good person! This was Xing Ling ‘er’s impression of Xiao Changtian.

“The Central Heaven Continent, that’s far away.” Xiao Changtian was secretly shocked. This grandfather and grandson were indeed from a wealthy family.

He had heard people mention that the Tian Yuan Continent was divided into five continents: North Barren Continent, South Bu Continent, West Bull Continent, East Victory Continent, and Middle Heaven Continent!

Between the five continents, there was a huge ocean in the middle. It was difficult for ordinary people to cross it.

In the ocean, there were also demon beasts of the sea race. They were all existences that killed without blinking.

According to the residents of Dayang Town, there was once a fisherman who was fishing at the edge of the Northern Wilderness Sea. However, he was swallowed by a catfish sea demon that was hundreds of feet long. It was extremely terrifying!

For ordinary people, there was only one way to go to other continents.

Using the Immortal Sect’s teleportation array!

However, every time they used the teleportation array, they would have to spend a lot of money to exchange for spirit stones. Ten thousand taels of gold could only be exchanged for one spirit stone! Those without a family background generally did not dare to cross continents like this.

“Ahem.” While Xiao Changtian was shocked, Xing Ling ‘er coughed twice.

After coughing, Xing ‘er’s originally rosy and tender face suddenly changed. It became as pale as paper, and even her breathing became a little intermittent.

“Hmm?” Xiao Changtian was slightly startled. With his advanced medical skills, he could tell at a glance that this was not a simple cough.

“Ling ‘er, come over and let big brother take a look.”Xiao Changtian called Ling ‘er over.

Although Xing Ling ‘er looked a little painful, she still listened to Xiao Changtian and walked over.

Xiao Changtian observed carefully and his face turned cold. This was a damage to the lungs, and it was congenital!

In mild cases, it might cause the body to be weak and often fall ill.

If it was serious, his meridians would be blocked and he would suffocate to death! It was extremely dangerous!

“Big brother, am I going to die soon? I feel so uncomfortable.” Xing Ling ‘er’s face was filled with pain, and her large eyes were glistening with tears.

How could Xiao Changtian not know that Xing Ling ‘er was being tortured by the pain? She was terrified!

“Don’t worry, Ling ‘Er. Big Brother can cure your grandfather and you. This is just a small illness.”Xiao Changtian consoled.

“But Grandpa brought me to many famous doctors before, but they were all helpless!”Xing Ling ‘er sobbed.

“That’s because their medical skills aren’t as good as big brother’s. Big brother will be able to help you recover immediately.”Xiao Changtian patted Xing Ling ‘er’s head, his heart aching for this little girl.

Her lungs were damaged. If she had not met him, Xing Ling ‘er might have fallen asleep in pain.

Fortunately, he had previously used the shell of the turtle to make some ointment. Neighbors with damaged lungs had only applied a little ointment and their lungs had recovered.

Because the neighbors didn’t use much, Xiao Changtian still had a big bottle left.

“Ling ‘er, wait.” Xiao Changtian walked into the room and took out the remaining bottle of ointment. He rubbed a little on Ling ‘er’s throat.

“Ling ‘er, go in and lie down for fifteen minutes.”

“Jiu ‘er, take Ling’ er with you.”

Xiao Changtian ordered.

“Big brother, really?” Ling ‘er’s tender face lit up with hope. It was obvious that she had been tortured by the constant coughing.

“Don’t worry. It’s just a small injury to the lung meridian. Big Brother was able to treat this illness with ease..”
