He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

When Xu Yi heard the name "Shishui Village," his brow twitched involuntarily. Such a philosophical name for a small village must mean that this village has a story to tell.

This was Xu Yi's first reaction. This place was definitely not simple. Like an ordinary village, there was a village chief or something, but Xu Yi didn't go looking for him.

Xu Yi's outfit made him look like an outsider; the materials of his clothes were unlike anything they had ever seen before.

Walking along the country road, many people stared intently at Xu Yi, as if trying to figure out where he came from and why he had come to their village. A small village is not very tolerant of a stranger who suddenly barges in.

But when they saw Zhang Erniu next to Xu Yi, their originally cold expressions suddenly changed and became kind. That's how the people of Sishui Village are.

But there are always some gossipy people in a village. For example, Zhang Erniu's neighbor, Aunt Li, quickly became jealous after seeing Zhang Erniu bring home such a handsome man.

She started spreading rumors and saying unpleasant things.

She said, "This pretty boy, I wonder where that little girl surnamed Zhang got him from, it's really interesting."

Zhang Erniu couldn't hear, but Xu Yi had very good hearing. He only needed to pay a little attention to hear the bad things Aunt Li was saying, but he didn't care. Let her say whatever she wanted, as long as it didn't affect his work.

After entering their house with Zhang Erniu.

Xu Yi finally met Zhang Erniu's bedridden sister.

Zhang Erniu's home was very simple, but it had everything he needed, and every piece of furniture and every item he needed was clean and tidy.

Xu Yi had seen all of this and figured it was the little guy who had packed it all. Thinking this, Xu Yi glanced at Zhang Erniu, who was packing his luggage. He was very serious, taking everything he did very seriously, and he was also very bold. Xu Yi admired him greatly, and hoped he could maintain this attitude in the future.

Seemingly noticing Xu Yi's gaze, Zhang Erniu gently raised his head, glanced at Xu Yi, and grinned.

"Brother Xu, this is my home. My sister is resting inside. Would you like to go and see her?" After saying that, Zhang Erniu looked at Xu Yi with some anticipation. He sincerely hoped that Xu Yi could spend more time with his sister, just in case.

For some reason, Zhang Erniu really liked Xu Yi. He felt a sense of security when he was by Xu Yi's side. Perhaps it was because Xu Yi protected him in the mountains today and killed demons for him to obtain blood that he became overly dependent on Xu Yi. He was even afraid that Xu Yi would leave him, which he could not accept.

"Hmm." Xu Yi nodded slightly, the movement so subtle that it was unclear whether Zhang Erniu noticed.

Hearing Xu Yi's reply, Zhang Erniu felt as if he could see Xu Yi nodding gently, and he was actually very happy.

"System." Xu Yi silently uttered in his mind, and a blue transparent panel instantly appeared in front of him.

Lifespan: 20/80

[Cultivation Level: Mortal]

[Spells: Pure Mystery and Netherworld Control (+), Paper Origami (+), Illusion (+)]

[Magic Weapon: A Rusty Iron Sword]

[Growth Progress: 2/100 (No attributes yet)]

Available simulation time: 10 seconds

He hasn't yet deduced the Qingxuan Yuyou Chapter, but since someone is sick, let's see if the Rejuvenation Talisman is really that powerful.

Thinking it over, Xu Yi gently tapped the plus sign after the Qingxuan Yuyou chapter on the panel with his finger.

[Expected timeframe: 5 years]

[Deduction begins...]

[In the first year, you devoted yourself to cultivation, and based on the experience summarized last time, you began to continue learning the incantation: Rejuvenation. A year has passed, and you have only made a little progress.]

In the second year, you changed the direction of your incantation practice: Rejuvenation. Finally, you made a discovery and began to continue your studies in the direction of that discovery.

[Year 3...]

[In the fifth year, through your tireless efforts, you finally mastered all the patterns of the spell: Rejuvenation. You can now perfectly inscribe the spell: Rejuvenation, and have begun new research into the next spell: Soul Binding.]

In just a short while, Xu Yi had regained his senses. He had successfully learned the incantation: Rejuvenation. He kept reciting it in his mind, constantly familiarizing himself with the spell, because Xu Yi was going to conduct an experiment on Zhang Erniu's sister.

The incantation "Rejuvenation" is a talisman designed to treat physical discomfort and various ailments. It can bring the dying back to life, but it requires a large amount of magical power and even a lot of materials to inscribe the runes. Currently, Xu Yi is unable to collect so many materials.

However, minor illnesses and ailments are no longer a big deal to him.

Logically speaking, a woman's boudoir should not be entered by a strange man, but after Zhang Erniu entered his sister's room, he said something, and soon, a weak voice came from the room.

The clear, cold female voice said, "Benefactor, please come in. I am seriously ill and unable to receive you. I hope you will understand."

Xu Yi walked into the house, replying as he went, "It's alright, miss. I just have a few things I'd like to ask you. Sorry to bother you."

When Xu Yi entered the house, he saw Zhang Erniu's sister. For a moment, he was stunned. Had he come to the wrong place? This was a small village, how could there be...

When Zhang Erniu's sister saw Xu Yi, her gaze was also somewhat strange, as if she had seen something outrageous.

She was indeed very beautiful, like a fairy. How could someone with such looks not be coveted in a small village? Xu Yi found it strange; it was impossible. Xu Yi didn't believe it. This woman also had something going on.

It's really strange that such a person exists in a small village. It seems that Zhang Erniu's identity is also somewhat mysterious.

"Erniu, go out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you, Brother Xu." The aloof woman's tone was gentle, but when she spoke to Zhang Erniu, there was no trace of the sickly tone she had just used; instead, it was colder.

Zhang Erniu had never seen his sister like this before, and he felt a strange fear in his heart, but he still said, "Sister, Brother Xu protected me, please don't be mean to him."

After saying that, Zhang Erniu ran out without looking back, not even glancing back at the house.

With a creak, the door closed.

The air inside the room instantly turned icy cold, and even ice crystals appeared on the eaves.

Xu Yi squinted at the aloof woman on the wooden bed. An icy aura emanated from her and spread outwards, which was quite eerie.
