I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Battle Qi, Level Three!"

When those five words reached his ears, Fang Yu knew he had come to the right place. Especially when he saw Xiao Yan standing in front of the testing stele with his expressionless face, he knew even more that he had come to the right place.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was expressionless, but his hands were so strong that his fingernails had dug into his palms, causing a stinging sensation and adding a touch of self-mocking pain to his face.

Seeing this, Fang Yu's smile widened even more. It wasn't that he was mocking Xiao Yan's weakness, but rather because he heard the constant chatter.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave this place filled with mocking words, Fang Yu walked over slowly. Fang Yu's appearance drew the attention of everyone in the Xiao Family Square. However, even so, because of Fang Yu's extraordinary temperament, no one made any excessive moves. Only the leading elder frowned, as did Xiao Yan's father.

Today, the head of the Xiao family is Xiao Zhan.

The fact that someone so unfamiliar was approaching his son made him uneasy, but he didn't intervene, sensing that the other person wouldn't harm him. Fang Yu's appearance caused the girl, who was about to continue the test, to frown and stop, her gaze fixed on Fang Yu. She didn't understand Fang Yu's purpose, but she was prepared to act at any moment, determined not to allow anyone to harm the brother she had protected for so many years.

This is absolutely unacceptable, so the girl can be said to be the person most worried about besides Xiao Zhan; there is no one more worried than the girl.

Fang Yu was well aware of all this, but he still walked steadily to Xiao Yan's side.

"Follow me. If you want to regain your talent, follow me."

After saying this, Fang Yu changed direction and walked towards a large gate. No one else heard what Fang Yu said except Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan chose to believe and trust Fang Yu, and followed him directly towards the gate Fang Yu had chosen.

Seeing the situation between the two, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan's father, looked rather grim, but for some reason, he didn't send anyone to investigate what was going on.

And so, the two walked one after the other to the back mountain of the Xiao family. This back mountain was deserted and quiet. It was only then that Xiao Yan spoke and stopped walking, because Fang Yu in front of him also stopped walking.

"You say you can help me restore my talent, how can you help me restore my talent?"

Xiao Yan asked the question that had been nagging at him, and also the question he had been most eagerly anticipating throughout the journey: "Fang Yu, how can you help me restore my talent?" To this question, Fang Yu's answer was merely a light, three-word reply.
"Come out!"

These three simple words left Xiao Yan completely bewildered. He didn't understand what Fang Yu meant, but he still took precautions and looked around. Then he noticed that the movement was coming from the ring on his hand. A figure emerged from the ring, or rather, a ghost, a soul, an old man. This soul was an old man, which frightened him so much that his face turned pale, but he managed to calm himself down.

"Old sir, why don't you talk to this kid properly and tell him why he became a cripple? Remember to tell the truth, and don't try to pin the blame on me. That way, we might be able to have a proper discussion. If you don't tell the truth, then don't blame me for being impolite. Remember to tell him properly, and don't lie to him. He's not even an adult yet. If you lie to him because he's not an adult, that would be unbecoming of you, wouldn't it? And don't forget, you're the culprit who made him a cripple."

When the words "culprit" were uttered, Xiao Yan immediately exploded and glared angrily at Yao Chen.

"You're the one who made me lose all my fighting spirit?"

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, don't get agitated. Let's calm down first, calm down, don't get agitated, let's talk this out. There's a reason for this, please don't get agitated. I will give you a satisfactory answer and explanation, and I will definitely restore your talent. You can rest assured about that. Now, just be quiet for a while, don't get agitated. I have a few questions I want to ask this guy, just stay here quietly for a while, don't get agitated anymore. I'm going to ask this guy a few questions now, these questions are very important, and they are related to whether you can recover smoothly in the future, so please don't get agitated, do you understand?"

Seeing Xiao Yan glaring angrily and unable to contain his rage, Yao Chen immediately spoke up to appease him. Although he tried to calm him down, Xiao Yan did not change his expression or attitude. His gaze was even more fierce, as if he wanted to kill Yao Chen without a burial place and make his soul disappear.
Faced with Xiao Yan's fierce gaze, Yao Chen was utterly helpless. He then turned his attention to Fang Yu and asked in a very serious tone, as he was also extremely puzzled. "How do you know of my existence? And you seem to know a great deal about my identity. Who exactly are you? I don't seem to recognize anything about you. Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that if you want to fully recover, then stop playing mysterious here. Just do as I say, and don't worry about anything else. Of course, I won't interfere with your existence either, so don't worry about that. I have no interest in you and no mood to care about you. Just teach this kid well and do the things I need you to do. Once you've done those things, then the rest is none of your business. As for who I am or what kind of existence I am, that's none of your concern, and you don't need to care about it."

Fang Yu's words made Yao Chen's expression turn somewhat ugly, because he couldn't see through Fang Yu's presence at all, and Fang Yu also took out a scroll and handed it to him.

Yao Chen took the scroll that Fang Yu handed him and began to examine it. When he saw the contents, his expression changed instantly.

"Don't get excited, please don't get excited. This is crucial to your recovery, so please don't get excited."

Hearing those familiar words of reassurance, Yao Chen tried to suppress his excitement and continued to ask, "Who exactly are you? Who are you? How do you possess such a cultivation technique?"

The technique contained in the scroll is one that can restore soul power.

"Whether I possess something or not is none of your business. Who I am is also none of your business. You don't need to ask any more questions. What you need to do now is to cultivate diligently according to the techniques I've given you, and then do what we need to do. You help this kid restore his talent and everything he once had. I also need your help with a few small tasks, such as refining some pills. These are all things you need to do. Don't ask me why I need your help; just do it step by step. You don't need to know anything else, and you don't need to ask who I am. I will tell you these things when the time is right. If you think there's anything suspicious about me, feel free to be suspicious. If you think I have ill intentions, then I will have ill intentions. It's all up to you. As long as you do what I ask of you and satisfy me, then you can think whatever you want, do whatever you want, even attack me." "It's all fine, as long as you do what I ask, there won't be any problems at all. If you can't, then don't blame me for being impolite. Remember, my conditions are that simple. If you can do it, everything will be fine; if you can't, then we're done. Do whatever you want, just don't bother me or cause me any trouble. Whatever you do is none of my business, and I won't care about you or pay any attention to you. Whether you do good or bad things, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me. I hope you understand this, and I hope you can comprehend this. Don't try to extract information from me about who I am or what I'm going to do. This isn't your concern, and you don't need to worry about these things. These things really don't concern you much. You just need to do things step by step."

"Actually, I don't want to waste my breath on you, but I can't help it. You're just too stupid. It wouldn't be right or good not to talk to you. Because you're so stupid, I have to tell you all this. I know it's a bit tedious, but there's no other way. What you need to do now is help this kid recover, and then do as I say. I've made it that simple, do you understand?"

Fang Yu's mouth was a little dry from talking, so he took out some tea from his ring, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued speaking.

"I know you're shocked, very shocked, and very surprised right now, but none of that matters. What matters is what you need to do. Once you've done that, the rest is completely none of your business. You don't need to worry about these things; someone will handle them. Don't worry about that. I'll also help him with that. You can rest assured."

"If you're worried, that's fine too. You can be worried, and I won't interfere."

"What you're saying is just to get me to work for you and do things for you. But I must remind you, I will absolutely not help with anything that is extremely heinous. You should know that very well."

Yao Chen's words made Fang Yu laugh, and then he nodded and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I only came to you because I know your character, and it took me so much effort to find you. Do you know how much trouble it took me to find you? Sigh, instead of appreciating it, you use these kinds of methods to ask me for favors. I'm really disappointed, so very disappointed. If you think this is a good thing, then fine, I have no problem with any of this. Anyway, I won't let you hurt anyone else. The thing I need your help with is very simple: just help me refine some pills. That's all. There are no other conditions, just some pills. If you don't want to, then there's nothing I can do. Do as you please, just don't come looking for me. It's your choice not to come looking for me, so there's no problem. But if you do come looking for me, then it's troublesome. I can only say this: it's very troublesome. Really very troublesome. Nothing is easy."

"The first thing you need to do in the future is to help him restore his talent. That's what you should do. Once you've done that one thing well, the rest won't matter. Once you've done that one thing well, the rest won't matter at all."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was the happiest person. He was happier than ever before.

"Don't get so excited, kid. Restoring your talent isn't something that happens overnight, and it's not easy for you to do it. You should understand what this means, so you should obediently listen to me and quickly kowtow to become my disciple. Don't kowtow, I want to kowtow to him, not me. Even if you kowtow to me, I won't accept you as a stupid disciple. To me, you're just an idiot. That's all. You're nothing but an idiot. Sigh, it's really a pity, so regrettable, so incredibly regrettable."

"Young man, you have a lot to do next. Don't waste time here. Hurry up and kowtow. Don't worry about anything else, just focus on restoring your talent. The rest is none of your concern. Many things will happen later. You can manage what you can, but it's okay if you can't. These things aren't important, and they're not your concern. Your only concern is to obey orders. Don't worry about anything else. Even if you care, it won't matter. These are not your business. It's truly a regrettable situation, a real pity. You should understand that. I didn't want to come, but thinking about your tragic experience, I felt it was better to come. This will only benefit you, not harm you. So, I chose to come and help you—it's that simple and clear. I hope I can truly help you." (End of Chapter)
