Chapter 1314
Xiao Hua didn't stand on ceremony and walked into the courtyard first. The courtyard wasn't big, but it was very neat and tidy. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a flourishing parasol tree full of vitality. Behind the parasol tree was a central room with an open door. Next to the central room were several small rooms with their doors closed. Just by looking at the things in the courtyard, Xiao Hua could see that Fan Riguan's family was well-off!
"Daoist Xiao, please accept a bow from this old woman and her family!"
Without waiting for Xiao Hua to understand his surroundings, the aged voice of the Zhu clan's old woman rang out behind him. When Xiao Hua turned around, not only the Zhu clan's old woman, but also Fan Riguan's family of three were kneeling on the ground.
Xiao Hua leaned to one side. He really didn't want such an old woman to bow to him. Then, he hurried forward and single-handedly helped the old woman up. The old woman stood up under Xiao Hua's unparalleled strength, and the middle-aged woman behind her also hurried forward to support her.
The old woman let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Daoist Xiao, although this old woman is a layman, but … I never wanted to take advantage of other people's kindness. Ah Gen … he asked for an immortal pill in the inn. I didn't like that at all, but this is a junior's filial piety. This old woman … can't stop him!"
Then, she lovingly looked at Fan Riguan and sincerely said to Xiao Hua, "Ah Gen must have already told me a bit about what happened in the past. I won't hide it from Daoist Xiao. In this old woman's eyes, cultivators are the most stingy. For a little bit of benefit, they can draw their swords and even fight with their lives. Therefore, this old woman has never given them any extravagant hope!
However, yesterday, Ah Gen actually brought back an immortal pill and cured this old woman's chronic illness … this is really beyond my expectations!
Daoist Xiao's noble character and unquestionable integrity, your magnanimity really … made this old woman change her previous impression of cultivators! "
"Alas, old woman's words also make I blush with shame!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand and said: "Cultivators go against the will of the heavens. Everyone is trying to seize the first opportunity of the Heavenly Dao. If someone is lenient, they will have to pay tens or hundreds of years of hard work. What's more, it could even be their life. No cultivator will lower their guard. Perhaps this is what Senior doesn't understand!"
When the old woman heard this, she smiled even more. "Daoist Master Xiao … you're not that old, right?"
Xiao Hua's face reddened slightly: "I am already twenty years old, but my cultivation is still shallow!"
"Just based on Daoist Xiao's generosity in giving me an immortal pill, even if my cultivation is low now, I'm sure I'll be able to reach the Great Dao in the future!" Old Zhu praised.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Xiao Hua cupped his hands and took out two top-grade Parasol Pills from his storage pouch. He handed them over and said, "Although I don't know why this pill can cure Elder's chronic illness, but since Ah Gen's wife and daughter also … … need this pill, and I have received their thanks, Elder, please accept these two pills!"
The old woman looked at the Sycamore Pill in Xiao Hua's hand, her eyes filled with joy. Her lips trembled slightly as she stretched out her hand, seemingly hesitating.
"Elder, there's no harm in accepting it. To I … … the significance of this pill is far greater than its medicinal effect. Since it can save two lives, I am still willing to take it out!" Xiao Hua handed over the pills to the old woman.
"Ai, Daoist Master Xiao is so righteous, this old woman really admires you. This matter concerns my Zhu family's descendants, this old woman doesn't dare to be unreasonable!
Thank you, Daoist Master Xiao! "The old woman sighed and held the Parasol Pill in her hand, her hand trembling.
Xiao Hua sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a burst of comfort in his heart. It was the kind of comfort of accumulating merit!
"Ah Gen, since Daoist Master Xiao is giving the pill, you take Xiao Feng and Xi 'er and let them take the pill first. This old woman will accompany Daoist Master Xiao here!" The old woman raised her hand and handed the Parasol Pill to Fan Riguan.
"Mother … … it's already late, Daoist Master Xiao wants to stay in our house. The place hasn't been cleaned yet, how can you take the pill in such a hurry?
Moreover, there's still twenty to thirty years before the disease flares up, there's no need to rush! "Fan Riguan was somewhat embarrassed.
"Aiya, that's right, Daoist Master Xiao, please don't blame me. This stubborn disease has been troubling my Zhu family for who knows how many generations. This old woman suddenly found a way and lost her sense of propriety!"
The old woman said apologetically, then waved her hand and said, "Feng 'er, quickly take out the immortal fruits in the house and let Daoist Master Xiao taste them!"
"Yes, mother!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly responded and went to the central room.
Fan Riguan said in a low voice, "Mother, aren't you going to invite Daoist Master Xiao into the house?"
Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, "Let's do it under this parasol tree, I feel a little familiar here!"
"Alright, Ah Gen, quickly bring out the table and chairs!"
Not long after, a square table and two chairs were moved under the parasol tree. A plate of strange fruits was also placed on the table.
"Daoist Master Xiao, this is a special product of my Jingfan Qi. The immortals of Jingbo City often come to pick it. This old woman specially asked Feng 'er to buy some for Daoist Master Xiao to taste!"
"Thank you for your kindness."
Xiao Hua smiled and picked up a jujube-like spirit fruit and threw it into his mouth. The spirit fruit didn't have any spirit energy, but it tasted very good and was extremely refreshing!
After casually eating two, Xiao Hua saw Zhu Xi 'er drooling and licking her lips. He smiled and pushed the rest to the side of the table and said, "Little guy, I will treat you to some spirit fruits!"
"Immortal elder is so unreasonable, this is what grandma bought with the immortal stones at home to treat you to. It is originally my family's food, how can you treat me to it?"
Zhu Xi 'er saw that Xiao Hua was like a big brother next to her, far from the seriousness of an immortal elder, so she was a little scared.
"Xi 'er, shut up!" The old woman scolded and then smiled apologetically, "Could it be that Daoist Master Xiao doesn't like these immortal fruits?
This old woman will send Ah Gen to buy some more! "
"Haha, no need, old woman, these spirit fruits I like very much, but I will just eat a little, no need to trouble you anymore!"
Xiao Hua quickly waved his hand and said, "It's better to let Ah Gen's wife and Xi 'er take the elixir earlier, so that you can be at ease!"
After pondering for a moment, the old woman said, "Alright, let them go in and take the elixir, this old woman will accompany the immortal elder to explain the whole story!"
"En, that's how it should be!" Xiao Hua clapped his hands and said.
Then, Xiao Hua's heart moved, and a strange idea appeared in his mind. He stretched out his hand and said, "Xi 'er, come here, let I see what's wrong with you!"
"You have …" Zhu Xi 'er's little face was red, but she didn't say the last word.
"Xi 'er, go, listen to Daoist Master Xiao!" The old woman scolded.
Zhu Xi 'er felt very wronged, but she didn't dare to refute. She slowly moved over. Xiao Hua smiled and handed a slender spirit fruit to her, and said with a smile, "You can eat this spirit fruit, just stretch out your right hand!"
"Hee hee" Zhu Xi 'er was only a five year old child. She took the spirit fruit in one hand and threw away her unhappiness. She happily stretched out her lotus root-like right arm!
Xiao Hua smiled and stretched out his right hand's index finger and middle finger, and put it on Zhu Xi 'er's wrist where her pulse was. He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.
The old woman stared at Xiao Hua's face, paying attention to the changes in his expression.
Sure enough, Xiao Hua's face was as heavy as water, then slightly frowned, and after half a cup of tea, it became gloomy again … Seeing this, the old woman was not surprised, but happy, and her eyes lit up.
When Xiao Hua took his hand away from Zhu Xi 'er's arm, the old woman asked, "Daoist Master Xiao … Did you notice anything?"
"Please stretch out your right arm!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
The old woman did as she was told, and Xiao Hua did the same as before, but his expression was the opposite, he didn't frown!
"En, okay, Ah Gen, you take your wife and your daughter to the room to take the elixir!"
Xiao Hua withdrew his hand and said, "If the elixir works, this Zhu family's … chronic illness can be cured!"
Fan Riguan's face was full of surprise, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then … I was rude!"
"Go, the earlier you take the elixir, the earlier you can feel at ease!"
Xiao Hua didn't mind, and Zhu Feng, who was standing behind Fan Riguan, also bowed and followed Fan Riguan into the room with Zhu Xi 'er.
"Daoist Master Xiao, please bring in some more spirit fruit and listen to this old woman!" The old woman pushed the spirit fruit over again, and said with a smile, "I wonder if Daoist Master Xiao knows about talismans?"
"Talismans?" Xiao Hua frowned, shook his head and said, "I's cultivation is shallow, I don't know about talismans!"
"It's not that Daoist Master Xiao's cultivation is shallow, this talisman has been lost in the Xiaoyu continent for a long time. If it wasn't for my Zhu family suffering from this insidious talisman, how could this old woman know?"
"Old woman …" Xiao Hua listened to the old woman of the Zhu family talk, and it was simply more than what he knew. He couldn't help but feel deep veneration.
The old woman of the Zhu family seemed to know what Xiao Hua was thinking. She took out a very thick book from her bosom, handed it over, and said with a smile, "This is my Zhu family's most precious heirloom. It records the deeds of my Zhu family's ancestors, some matters of the Xiaoyu continent, the misfortune of my Zhu family suffering from the talisman, and some of my many years of experience in breaking the talisman."
Xiao Hua took it, and casually flipped through it. This was a book made of silk of an unknown material, and there were a lot of small words written inside. Xiao Hua didn't look at it carefully, and handed it over again, and said with a smile, "Since it's the Zhu family's heirloom, I won't look at it anymore!"
"Hehe, Daoist Master Xiao is really a gentleman!"
The old woman smiled, but didn't take it, and continued, "This isn't the most important thing. The most important thing about this book is that it was left behind by the ancestors of the Zhu family. My Zhu family was also a cultivator of the Xiaoyu continent several thousand years ago. This book … hides a great secret."
"A great secret?" Xiao Hua stared blankly, and again looked at the unremarkable book in his hand.
"This secret is related to cultivation. My Zhu family has long stopped being cultivators, so it's useless to take this book. Since Daoist Xiao helped my Zhu family get rid of the pain of the talisman, this book is my gift of thanks. I hope that Daoist Xiao will be able to comprehend the secret in this book soon, and achieve a great divine ability!"
"Ah?
So it's like this! "
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. It wasn't that he didn't think about the Zhu family's reward, but he definitely didn't think that they would give him a book. This book had been in the Zhu family's possession for several thousand years, and no one had been able to comprehend the great secret. He didn't think that he would have more luck than others. Compared to this unattainable great secret, he would rather get a simple third layer qi refining technique!
PS: No wonder the third-place finisher is so thin. "Zhu family", all talismans have stories!
