Two hours later!
Creak!
Chen Qingyun's door opened!
Gao Xiulan walked out.
Seeing the graceful figure depart, Chen Qingyun stroked his beard and smiled.
"Xiulan! Remember to come early tomorrow!"
Gao Xiulan, who was opening the courtyard gate, nearly stumbled and fell!
"This old geezer! He really wants to die sooner!"
"Alright!"
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully activating the Righteous Path System!
The System has also provided the Host with a Spiritual Root, which has been automatically integrated!
The System has provided the Host with a Detection Eye! It can be used when needed!
The System Mall has been opened. The Host can purchase items using the Circulation Value obtained by walking the Righteous Path!
The amount of Circulation Value the Host obtains is closely related to the opponent's cultivation and Luck Value.
Everything about the Host has been shielded by the System! Even the Heavenly Dao of this realm has nothing to fear! Please use it with confidence!"
"Holy crap! Is it that awesome?"
"Name: Chen Qingyun"
"Age: 88"
"Cultivation: None"
"Cultivation Method: None"
"Aptitude: First Grade Water Spiritual Root!"
(Note: On Tianheng Continent, Spiritual Roots are divided into nine grades! First Grade is the lowest, Ninth Grade is the highest! Each grade of Spiritual Root is further divided into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Ice.)
"Lifespan: 0"
"Circulation Value: 6"
"Cultivation Experience: 0 / 100"
"Holy crap! My goodness!"
Seeing that his Lifespan was actually zero, Chen Qingyun broke into a cold sweat and even wet his diaper.
Chen Qingyun quickly opened the System Mall and searched carefully!
He finally found a solution!
Low-grade Longevity Pill: 5 Circulation Value! Can extend lifespan by ten days.
(Note: Pills on Hengtian Continent are divided into nine ranks in total! Rank one is the lowest, rank nine is the highest! Each rank of pill is further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade!)
Chen Qingyun didn't even think, immediately exchanged for it, and quickly consumed it.
The Longevity Pill melted upon entering his mouth! It transformed into a pure force that Chen Qingyun absorbed.
After a few breaths, Chen Qingyun only felt a sense of lightness in his body, as if something had been added.
Immediately, there was no further reaction.
Chen Qingyun checked his attribute panel again, and his Lifespan had indeed become ten days.
Chen Qingyun patted his chest! He let out a long breath.
"Damn! You scared me to death!"
"Speaking of which! System! Why are you so stingy! You only gave me the most trashy Spiritual Root! You didn't even give me a better one!
I also want to experience the hardships of being a genius!"
"With this System, does the Host still need to cultivate? If the Host wants to improve his aptitude, he can earn Circulation Value to improve it himself! Do it yourself! Self-sufficiency!"
For a moment! Chen Qingyun had nothing to retort!
Did he still need to cultivate? Why bother with that crappy aptitude then?
As long as he had the System, he was the genius among geniuses, no doubt about it.
Outside Chen Qingyun's courtyard, in the small forest!
Not long after Gao Xiulan walked out, a figure blocked her path.
The one who blocked Gao Xiulan was none other than the village chief, Wang Teng!
"Father! Why are you here..."
"Why can't I be here? That old geezer didn't do anything to you, did he!"
Wang Teng looked at Gao Xiulan sinisterly and pressed her.
"No... No! He's an old man who's about to die! What else could he do?"
"Really nothing!"
Wang Teng looked disbelieving, staring intently at Gao Xiulan!
He hoped to see some clue in her eyes.
However! Apparently, Wang Teng gained nothing! He wasn't disappointed!
On the contrary! Seeing that he couldn't trick anything out of her, Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
"Then! You were in his room for so long, what were you doing?"
"We weren't doing anything!"
"Chen Grandpa just boiled water for me to take a medicinal bath!"
"Oh! Right! He also gave me golden needle treatment! It was quite comfortable!"
"Could it be that this old geezer is really saving people?"
Wang Teng fell into a brief silence! As if thinking about something?
After Wang Teng left Chen Qingyun's house, he found a place to hide.
After Chen Qingyun and Gao Xiulan entered the room, he had been hiding outside, eavesdropping.
If there was any movement inside, he would rush in immediately.
To rescue Gao Xiulan and deal with Chen Qingyun, that old thing.
However! He had been waiting outside the door and hadn't heard any movement.
Several times he wanted to rush in to see what was going on! But he was afraid of truly disturbing Chen Qingyun's treatment.
If he messed up, he might really offend this old geezer, and that would be troublesome.
After all! He still needed him to treat his illness.
The other party could just take his pulse and discern his illness, so he might really have some skills.
His illness, he had seen many doctors for it, but none had cured it.
"Father! What are you doing! Chen Grandpa is a very good person, he's been treating me wholeheartedly, you shouldn't misunderstand him."
As Gao Xiulan spoke, she prepared to move closer!
"What are you doing? This is outside, pay attention to your image!"
Gao Xiulan also didn't dare to be presumptuous and maintained her distance from Wang Teng.
"Then what did he say? How is the illness?"
"He didn't! He just told me to continue coming for treatment tomorrow, saying it would take a month."
"Hmm! That long?
Then come tomorrow! Cooperate well with his treatment! Strive to continue the family line for my Wang family as soon as possible."
"Hmm! I understand! I'll have to trouble you to worry more."
After Wang Teng lingered on Gao Xiulan for two breaths, the two of them left.
"Hmm! Perhaps I was overthinking it, what could a useless old man do?"
A night passed!
Chen Qingyun got up early!
It wasn't because he didn't want to sleep, but because he was too anxious to sleep.
When a person knows he only has a few days to live, few people can eat and sleep well.
Early on! Chen Qingyun had already boiled water, brewed a pot of tea, and was slowly savoring it while sitting in his lounge chair.
To dispel Wang Teng's doubts, he had already prepared a bathtub and some miscellaneous medicinal herbs at home.
The courtyard gate was wide open, and Chen Qingyun occasionally gazed into the distance.
On the surface, he looked like he was leisurely drinking tea, but in reality, he was panicking.
"Come quickly! Why aren't they here yet! Are they not coming?"
Just as Chen Qingyun was eagerly awaiting, two figures appeared in his sight.
Chen Qingyun then grinned, his hanging heart settled, and a smile full of wrinkles finally appeared on his face.
He looked a bit lewd, but he really had no other choice now.
"Uncle Chen! We're bothering you again!"
"It's nothing! I'm just an old man, I'm extremely happy that you can come and add some liveliness to my place."
"No! No! We are troubling you, old sir!"
At this moment, Wang Teng was all smiles, looking incredibly humble! An unsuspecting person would think he was a true gentleman.
But Chen Qingyun knew that this guy was a smiling tiger, a typical hypocrite!
Even more hypocritical than Yue Buqun!
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Wang Teng used the excuse of inspecting the medicinal herbs to enter Chen Qingyun's room and check around.
Chen Qingyun had already anticipated this, and had made all the necessary preparations.
The bathtub! The medicinal herbs! The golden needles were all ready, looking completely legitimate.
Wang Teng observed inside the room for a long time, found no abnormalities, and felt much more at ease.
Chen Qingyun followed behind him, secretly chuckling.
"You little brat, still trying to find clues? I've already cleaned up every single hair! How are you going to find anything?"
Finding nothing, Wang Teng was very satisfied.
"Uncle Chen! Xiulan is in your care!"
"It's a small matter! No worries!"
It wasn't until Wang Teng had walked far away.
Only then did Chen Qingyun begin to check Gao Xiulan's information.
"Name: Gao Xiulan"
"Age: 28"
"Cultivation: None"
"Spiritual Root: None"
"Luck Value: 80"
It seems her Luck Value isn't high, she can only provide two Circulation Value each time!
Click!
Chen Qingyun now had no other choice, he directly closed the door!
