The man was stunned.
“Who… who are you?” the man asked, somewhat angrily, but mostly with sadness.
Xue An replied with a calm smile, “It’s not important who I am, but I can cure your wife’s illness!”
Cao Zheng stood in a daze for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.
At this time, Xue Xiang blinked earnestly and said, “Uncle, my daddy is really amazing!”
Cao Zheng stepped aside and said in a deep voice, “Come in! I am Cao Zheng!”
The light in the room was very dim, but it was tidy, and the air was filled with the thick scent of Chinese medicine.
And a woman as thin as a rake lay on the bed with lifeless eyes, her face pallid, exuding an aura of death.
Xue An was right, if not treated soon, this woman wouldn’t last more than three days.
“Who… ah!” the woman said feebly.
Cao Zheng’s face only softened when facing this woman, filled with tenderness and indulgence.
“Some friends, and this person has come to treat your illness.”
The woman shook her head, “Forget it, no one can cure my illness, don’t waste any more money on me! Save the money, after I’m gone, you can find someone else!”
Cao Zheng’s eyes were full of indulgence, “What silly things are you saying?
You will definitely get better.”
As he said this, Cao Zheng turned his head, his eyes brimming with tears.
Han Yao had wanted to explain their presence, but upon witnessing this scene, she couldn’t help but be moved.
No wonder the once illustrious director had fallen so far, all for the sake of the woman he loved.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian tugged at Xue An’s clothes at this moment, looking distressed and said, “Daddy, save this auntie, they’re so pitiful!”
Xue An smiled.
Indeed, a child’s heart is always the purest.
Although Cultivators should detach from worldly emotions, indulging solely in slaughter would only lead down the demonic path.
Only by maintaining the heart of an innocent can one advance without hindrance!
Xue An took a few steps forward and approached the woman’s bedside.
He could see at a glance that this woman was near the end of her life, clinging to life now was nothing short of a miracle. Indeed, she was sustained by a mere breath.
And what was that breath?
One only had to see the woman’s loving and reluctant gaze towards Cao Zheng to understand.
Xue An’s heart, as steadfast as a boulder, was nonetheless touched.
So, he extended his hand and commanded softly, “Converge!”
The woman’s soul had scattered, and if it wasn’t gathered back first, no Spirit Pill could save her.
But who could gather a soul, other than an Immortal?
Fortunately, Xue An was that Immortal.
And he was a supreme one at that.
At his command, countless points of light began to coalesce.
This miraculous sight left Cao Zheng dumbfounded.
And the woman’s eyes slowly became lucid.
Moments later, Xue An took a step back and produced a Primordial Essence Elixir.
It was made from leftover dregs.
But to ordinary people, it was a divine medicine.
Xue An tossed the Elixir to Cao Zheng, “Taking this medicine can extend one’s life by a hundred years.”
Cao Zheng caught the Elixir and, without hesitation, moved forward to administer it to the woman.
This was just as Xue An had intended.
He wanted to see how the man would decide in the face of a divine medicine that could extend life by a hundred years.
The result did not disappoint him.
Although the woman’s breath was still weak, her expression had improved a lot.
She too had heard Xue An’s words and knew the value of the medicine.
After Cao Zheng fed it to her, she bit it in half in her mouth, then suddenly kissed Cao Zheng on the lips.
This scene made even Han Yao freeze.
The sunlight from outside shone in, casting a golden sheen on the two ordinary mortals.
Cao Zheng initially refused to eat it, but the woman whispered in his ear, “Swallow it, otherwise if I live so long without you, how lonely would I be?” Hearing this, Cao Zheng silently swallowed the Elixir.
It wasn’t long before the woman furrowed her brow, then sat up, flipping over.
Cao Zheng was stunned.
He had never imagined that the elixir would be so miraculously effective.
“Help me to the restroom!” the woman said, somewhat shyly.
Cao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the woman, and rushed into the bathroom.
At that moment, Han Yao spoke with an envious tone, “That truly is a touching love.”
Xue An remained silent, thinking to himself.
An Yan.
Where are you now?
Are you okay?
Wait for me!
Once I break through my current realm and stand at the pinnacle of this world, I will bring you back.
The path of immortal cultivation is arduous, but if you are with me, then nothing is a problem.
After more than ten minutes, the woman walked out of the restroom, staggering.
Cao Zheng followed carefully behind her, terrified that she might fall again.
When they reached Xue An, both Cao Zheng and the woman knelt down on the ground.
Cao Zheng’s kowtowing was loud, his forehead turning blue after a few resounding knocks.
But Cao Zheng couldn’t help but weep, tears streaming down his face, unable to utter a word.
The woman then gently wiped away the tears on Cao Zheng’s face with a longing touch.
Cao Zheng shook his head, then solemnly said, “Sir, I cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. If there’s anything you command, I, Cao Zheng, would do it even if it costs me my life!”
Xue An smiled, “You were saved with one of mv elixirs, and now you’re willing to die again?”
Cao Zheng was taken aback.
Indeed!
An elixir capable of instantly restoring someone on the brink of death to full health was clearly invaluable.
Xue An then spoke indifferently, “I don’t want you to die. I just want you to make a movie!”
“Make a movie?” Cao Zheng laughed bitterly.
“Who would dare let me make a movie now? Or rather… who would dare to offend the Xie Family?”
Speaking of the Xie Family, Cao Zheng’s eyes glinted with hatred.
His fall into such a dire state was mostly due to the Xie Family.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Ordinary people may fear to offend the Xie Family, but as it happens… I dare!”
After Han Yao explained things to Cao Zheng, he nodded without hesitation.
But then he hesitated, “What about the script now?” As a once-genius director.
He knew the importance of a script all too well.
It could be said that if a film is a dish, then the director is the chef, and the script is the ingredient.
Without ingredients, even a top chef can only watch helplessly.
Han Yao was also worried about this.
Although Xue An said it wasn’t a problem, there still wasn’t a sign of a script yet.
Xue An smiled, then pulled out a piece of paper.
He had idly written it the previous night.
“Take a look at this first!”
Cao Zheng took it, initially not paying much attention.
But as he read on, his expression became more serious.
After reading through it, Cao Zheng was silent for a moment before he sighed.
“Brilliant idea, brilliant idea! Although this is just an outline, its grandeur and majestic air are already apparent!”
True to his reputation as a former prodigy director.
He immediately saw the extraordinary brilliance of the story.
Had he known that Xue An had written it in just an hour, he would have been even more astonished.
In fact, over these three thousand years, Xue An’s life hadn’t been in vain.
Traversing The Multiverse, he saw too many people and events.
His Heart Realm was tempered to perfection, and this also gave birth to Xue An’s numerous spectacular talents.
Writing, for instance, was incredibly simple for Xue An. That’s why he said that the script was not a problem at all..
