Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 272 It has to be me
The night was cool, with no wind and no moon.

Chen Xuan's neighbor was lying on the ground with his face and chest pressed against the ground, his body covered with dust, and he was in a deep coma, only two or three meters away from the wellhead.

She obviously wanted to return to her underground residence, but she fell into a coma before she could do so.

"It looks pretty serious."

Chen Xuan stepped forward and took a look. There were no obvious external injuries on his neighbor's body, so he had internal injuries.

Without turning her over casually, he stretched out two fingers and placed them on her wrist. He soon knew that it was not a big problem.

Well, it’s not a big problem for Chen Xuan now. Anyone else would be helpless.

The neighbor's internal organs were occupied by two internal forces, one cold and one hot. The cold and hot alternately eroded her internal organs, making her face turn pale and red, and the breath she exhaled was sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

Fortunately, she still had enough internal strength and automatic body protection to hold on until now. It was a miracle that she was still alive, but her life was in danger.

In fact, in Chen Xuan's opinion, her internal strength is just okay, but looking at the world, she is considered to be one of the best in the acquired realm. Her eight extraordinary meridians are almost opened up, and the next step is to attack the Ren and Du meridians.

After figuring out the situation, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to treat him. After all, his neighbor would not die if he met him. After all, they were neighbors for many years. Although the two sides had no intersection, Chen Xuan would not just watch him die.

And according to Chen Xuan's understanding over the years, although this neighbor is a killer, he is quite principled. To sum it up in one sentence, he doesn't kill good people, he only kills bad people.

She stood up and walked towards the wellhead. The neighbor's figure floated up and followed Chen Xuan silently, which would not affect her injuries.

Although Chen Xuan has reached the level of a grandmaster, he is still far from "breaking the void". Naturally, he cannot use his mind to interfere with reality with means similar to telekinesis. Supporting his neighbors through the air is just an insignificant use of the true energy of the grandmaster realm.

"Luckily you met me. If this had happened on the street outside, someone would have picked up the body while it was still hot."

The two figures floated down along the wellhead, and Chen Xuan prepared to send her 'home'.

Sometimes I feel depressed when I think about Chen Xuan. He is so handsome that young girls and wives would cum at the sight of him. Moreover, he is a grandmaster and can be said to be at the top level of high-quality men. But he is still a virgin. He has dreamed of galloping horses on the grassland countless times, and secretly washed his pants the next day. It is simply unfair.

It’s not that he had never been to a brothel with Gao Jingming and the others, and there were girls who were attracted to his body, but he had always protected himself well because he was still a minor.

I don’t know which... which beautiful woman I will get to take advantage of in the future.

Anyway, Chen Xuan thought of himself as a vulgar man, like most normal men, also lustful. He didn't have much to pursue in life. What's the point of not being lustful? Otherwise, what's the point of living?

Thinking to themselves amusingly, the two of them floated to the middle of the well, looked at the neighbor's 'front door' which was less than a foot away, thought for a second, and reached out to touch the neighbor's shoulder.

Then the neighbor turned into a puddle of mud, literally, as if it were made of water and could be molded into any shape.

It's just a small trick. When he was in the innate state, he could make himself pass through a gap the size of a finger. Now he is a grandmaster after all. It is no big deal for him to make someone whose cultivation level is two major realms lower than his become weak.

That is to say, he cannot do such a thing now before he reaches the Grandmaster level.

The two of them walked along the small cave entrance, which was winding and twisting. After turning around for more than ten feet, the front became wider and they had arrived at their neighbor's "boudoir".

After being neighbors for seven years, this was his first time visiting. After all, he had no interest in prying into other people's privacy. Besides, it was a girl's home, which was impolite and ungentlemanly. He had no choice this time, and he couldn't just leave her outside.

Now that he was there, he couldn't help but look around the 'room' out of curiosity.

The space is not very big, about two meters high and four meters by four meters in area, which seems a bit depressing.

Although the space here is not large, there are still a lot of things. In addition to daily necessities, the shelves on both walls are filled with things, bottles and jars of medicine, various weapons and hidden weapons. On the contrary, there are very few clothes, and there is not even a dressing table, let alone rouge and powder.

"Tsk, it's obvious she doesn't like to dress up, but she smells pretty good, is it natural? It's a pity she's too old, not my type. And as a killer, who is she dressing up for?"

Looking around, Chen Xuan placed his neighbor on the bed. Aside from checking her injuries and bringing her in, he hadn't touched her at all. He had always maintained a clean body and wouldn't take advantage of anyone. Speaking of which, as they grew older, Gao Jingming had teased Chen Xuan many times. Gao Jingming said he had a bit of a mysophobia due to his cultivation, but he realized Chen Xuan was the one with the most severe mysophobia, especially mentally. For example, they had been to brothels many times over the years, and Chen Xuan wouldn't touch any of the girls there. But it wasn't because he disliked them or looked down on them. He respected everyone; he simply had no interest.

However, whenever he encountered such teasing, Chen Xuan's answer was never to his liking. After all, he was not a monk who had no desires.

This "room" had a good ventilation system, and the air was odorless. There were more than a dozen entrances and exits, large and small, leading to different places. There was even a passage as tall as a person, leading to a private house. Chen Xuan knew this. Otherwise, how did the neighbor bring so many things in? She could use the power of the technique to change her soft form to pass through a narrow place, but other things could not.

"This killer girl is quite professional. She has all kinds of poisons and drugs, as well as dozens of strange hidden weapons. I've learned a lot."

After retracting his gaze and satisfying his curiosity a little, Chen Xuan turned his attention back to his neighbor.

He secretly thought it was amazing, this beautiful girl was already in her thirties, and her appearance hadn't changed much from seven years ago, except that her martial arts skills had improved a lot. What was amazing was that the plump mountains on her body didn't show any significant deformation due to gravity while she was lying there.

Although it is said that one should not look at something inappropriate, Chen Xuan still took a second look to show respect as a man's instinct, but that was all.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the unconscious person through the air. A trace of true energy penetrated her body and entered her body. After one circle, the cold and hot internal energy entrenched in the neighbor's internal organs were easily drawn out. By the way, her injured internal organs were also nourished. In this way, the neighbor was almost recovered, and she would be back to her peak condition in two or three days at most.

As the cold and hot internal forces in her body were pulled out, the air in the 'room' changed from hot to cold for a moment and then returned to normal.

Taking out a homemade healing medicine from his arms, Chen Xuan flicked his finger and fed it into her mouth, even though her mouth was closed.

"Got it, I'll give you a bargain. Although that pill isn't very effective for me, giving it to you will not only speed up your recovery, but will also help you reach a higher level of internal strength. Looking at your condition, I'm afraid your life will be in jeopardy based on your innate ability. After all, we've been neighbors for so many years, and a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If I don't help you, who will I help?"

Muttering to himself, Chen Xuan put his hands on his waist for a while and looked around. It turned out that he was the only one who didn't need to take off his clothes to treat the girl's injuries.

It has to be me, so awesome.

Although Chen Xuan doesn't like to be ostentatious, who says he can't praise himself?

Seeing that the neighbor's face had returned to calm, like a sleeping beauty, it would still take some time for her to wake up.

Then he thought to himself that he would be leaving soon and probably would not come back to this place. After all, they were neighbors for many years, so he might as well say goodbye to her and give her a gift that might be considered trash to Chen Xuan but was extremely precious to her.

Seeing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the small table next to him, he sat down and ground the ink and began to write.

He wrote a farewell letter on a piece of paper and pressed it with a paperweight. Then Chen Xuan disappeared in a flash, and came back soon, placing a pile of bottles and jars on the table. Some of them were for healing, some were for poisons and drugs, and some were for increasing internal strength.

Chen Xuan never takes drugs when practicing, and he hasn't been injured over the years, so these things are useless to him. He can just give some to his neighbors as practice works. He is not interested in selling them to generate income. With his partner, Mr. Tingfeng, he doesn't have much need for money at the moment.

"Let's go, I have to go pack up. By the way, I'll give you some tools and unused herbs over there. If you want them, take them or not. I've written them down. Be more careful in the future. If you get a life-threatening injury like this again, you won't be lucky enough to meet me to save you."

After taking another look at his sleeping neighbor, Chen Xuan waved goodbye in his heart, then took a step and disappeared.

He came here this time to clean up some small gadgets he had made over the years. They were all various kinds of pills, and there were not many of each kind. After all, he would switch to the next one every time he succeeded in making one. Excluding some used to verify the efficacy of the medicine and some given to neighbors, the total amount only filled a small box.

Not to mention, the small box he packed would probably be worth a fortune if he met the right person, right? After all, many life-saving pills cannot be measured in money.

After cleaning up, Chen Xuan came out of the well, holding a small box and standing in the yard. He looked at this place which had not changed much from the past and was often haunted. He would never come here again.

Chen Xuan has been traveling back and forth here frequently for seven years and has accumulated solid experience in alchemy, but it is only a mid-to-low level of alchemy experience. However, with this experience, he can try to refine real good things in the future.

But good materials are hard to find and expensive.

"Doesn't our 'good buddy' Tingfeng Jushi have a small treasury? How about borrowing some? He's just a money-grubber, like a treasure-hoarding rat, always taking in and never spending. Why would he keep so much money? Why not lend me some to buy ingredients for alchemy, and then give her some when the time comes?"

Thinking about it, Chen Xuan felt that it was quite promising...
