Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
"Of course." Without any hesitation, Chen Xiao agreed.
The Great Wizard's wrinkled face showed an obvious smile: "Thank you very much."
When Chen Xiao took out the item, he also used his mental power to probe his sea of consciousness. The compass that was originally shining with golden light was now dim and had no vitality at all.
No wonder he felt so hungry and wanted to eat so much. He didn't even have the basic energy to maintain the compass.
Chen Xiao took out the pill for treating the invasion of true energy from the medicine box, and then found the pill for treating internal injuries, and swallowed it with the warm water brought by Huang Keran.
The elixir took effect quickly. After taking it only once, Chen Xiao felt that the dull pain in his body was relieved.
This time the injury was too severe, the most serious since he came to this world. It was not the kind of injury that could be cured immediately by taking a magic pill, he could only rest slowly.
Fortunately, Xi Yunting can receive various elixirs every year, and he will prepare one for Chen Xiao every time. After accumulating over the years, the quantity is enough for Chen Xiao to recover his health.
Chen Xiao handed over a medicine box and introduced the effects of each medicine to the witch one by one. "This box of medicine is for the witch."
The witch was overjoyed. After she was happy, she said, "I took your medicine, but you don't have any left. Your injuries still need these medicines. I will return these pills to you after I study them."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, Great Witch, just take it. I have more here."
The Great Witch didn't act pretentiously and said very straightforwardly: "Okay!"
Chen Xiao wanted to eat, but the organs in his chest and abdomen were aching, so he didn't dare to make any rash decision.
He was able to sit up after suffering such a serious injury only because of his good physical condition. If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to recover without lying down for a year or two.
Chen Xiao asked the great witch who knew medicine, "Great witch, when can I eat?"
The Great Witch said: "Don't eat anything recently, and it's best not to drink water. Your internal organs are injured, and eating and drinking will increase the burden. Take care of yourself for ten days or half a month, and then you can drink some soup. If you want to be able to eat normally, you have to wait at least a month. Even if you can eat normally, remember to eat light food and don't eat too much greasy food."
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "But if I don't eat, I will starve to death. Although my cultivation is sufficient, I cannot practice fasting like normal cultivators because of my technique. I still have to eat three meals a day." He had all kinds of elixirs in his hands, but there was no fasting pill. Because he had never been hungry before, he didn't prepare any specially.
The witch smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. During the time you were in a coma, you were given a steam bath every other day. The medicinal bath is rich in essence, which is enough to maintain your vitality."
The witch didn't stay long. After explaining the basic precautions, she took her apprentice back. Before leaving, she told Chen Xiao that her apprentice would come over to give him a steam bath in the afternoon.
As soon as the witch left, Chen Xiao lay down and went to sleep, using sleep to reduce his hunger.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Huang Keran gently picked up Xiao Ba and sent him outside to play.
Xiao Ba played around in the tribe. Its ferocious and terrifying appearance was seen by everyone, and the young people and children in the Zhuwu tribe were warned not to provoke it. So Xiao Ba went wild in the mountains and rivers, and lived the willful life of a domineering sheep again.
Huang Keran sat at the table outside, looking carefully at the book that Chen Xiao had just given him.
Huang Keran has lived in a sect of immortals since he was a child. His poor spiritual roots have always been a concern for him. He was unable to enter the Tao at the age of sixteen, which made him despair and thought that he had no hope of becoming an immortal.
Ever since Hua Baisui said that he would follow Chen Xiao to learn Feng Shui, Huang Keran had been looking forward to it. Now that he got the big book from his master, Huang Keran started to study enthusiastically without anyone's urging.
In the afternoon, the great witch's apprentice came with a bunch of things and a few people.
When Chen Xiao was unable to sleep, they had already given Chen Xiao steam baths several times and were ready with ease. Huang Keran entered the room and woke Chen Xiao up.
He is still unable to walk, so Huang Keran helped Chen Xiao into the bathtub.
Chen Xiao held onto the edge of the tub with a wry smile. He sat in the tub with the water covering his chest. There was a charcoal fire lit under the huge tub, slowly heating up the water.
It looked like they were going to cook him, which was really unsettling.
Huang Keran saw that he was tense all over, so he whispered, "Master, don't worry. This method has been used many times before. It's not dangerous."
Chen Xiao thought about it and let out a breath slowly, trying to relax his body. He was so tense that his bones and muscles ached.
When he first came in, he felt it was a little hot, but after getting used to it for a while, he found the water temperature very comfortable. After a while, the water temperature increased a little, and it was so hot that Chen Xiao started sweating on his forehead.
Huang Keran personally watched the fire, letting the charcoal burn at a lukewarm temperature, and only controlling the water temperature at the moment, which was hot enough to make the pores all over the body open, but it was still unbearable.
Zhu Bai was in charge of adding medicine into the water. The medicine soup prepared by the witch was dark brown in color. Some medicines were not cooked together and had to be added in later.
Seeing Chen Xiao sweating, Zhu Bai said, "Ke Ran, give Master Chen some water, but not too much."
Huang Keran held a small bowl and let Chen Xiao take a sip.
"You are the disciple of the Great Witch, what's your name?" Chen Xiao turned to look at the young man standing beside him.
The young man looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, tall and straight. He was wearing a pair of trousers with a batik pattern, but there was very little fabric on his upper body, revealing his thick chest muscles and six well-defined abdominal muscles.
The young man smiled, revealing his white teeth, and said, "My name is Zhu Bai, Master Chen can just call me Abai."
Chen Xiao said: "You don't have to be so polite as to call me Immortal Master, just call me Chen Xiao directly."
Zhu Bai said, "That won't do. My master said that you cultivators may look young, but you are actually hundreds or thousands of years old. You are my elder, and it would be too rude for me to call you by your name. I won't call you Master, I'll call you Senior."
Chen Xiao said helplessly: "I am not hundreds or thousands of years old, but I am indeed older than you. If you want to call me senior, then call me senior. From what you said, aren't you and the Great Witch cultivators?"
He had been curious when they were talking in the morning, but he was not in the right mood at that moment. He and the Great Witch were both trying to finish their conversation as quickly as possible, and no one talked about anything else.
Zhu Bai began to add medicine into the bathtub. The fragrant smell of hay made Chen Xiao feel more like a pot of boiling soup.
Zhu Bai said: "We are not immortal cultivators, we are called witches, and our cultivation method is different from yours."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, "Witch?"
In the past life, in ancient times, there were also legends left by various great witches. It had been a long time since Chen Xiao encountered a place that was subtly similar to the world in his previous life.
"Yes, Wu. Our tribe is called Zhuwu because our last name is Zhu. There is another tribe to the west of us called Yanwu, and everyone there has the last name Yan."
"Are there many people in your tribe?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Our tribe is a big one, with more than 30,000 people." Zhu Bai said proudly, "We make a living by farming, hunting and fishing, and we live a rich life."
Huang Keran said, "Master, Zigui Heaven Realm is a place without any country or sect, but there are dozens of tribes, large and small. Among them, the Zhuwu and Yanwu tribes have the largest populations."
"Your tribe is amazing!" Chen Xiao praised, making Zhu Bai even happier.
Chen Xiao was not exaggerating. Zhuwu not only had a large population, but also had a good livelihood. Just think about the whitewashed walls and the batik cloth they wore, and you will know that the lives of these tribesmen were no worse than those in the feudal kingdom.
"Mee——" Xiao Ba stood at the door and looked around.
Chen Xiao said: "Don't come in, play outside."
"Mee——" Xiao Ba didn't listen to him. He ran in with his thin legs and walked around the place where Zhu Bai placed the herbs.
Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "Well, Ah Bai, keep an eye on the herbs, don't let Xiao Ba take them away!"
Zhu Bai was adding herbs into the bucket when he was startled when he heard this. He turned around and saw Xiao Ba had put his mouth close to the medicine bag.
"Go away! You can't eat this!" Zhu Bai slammed twice and quickly tied the mouth of the medicine bag.
"Mee~~~" Xiao Ba spoke in a coquettish voice and looked at Zhu Bai with his moist eyes. Zhu Bai could see a pleading look in his eyes.
He couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and said gently: "These herbs are for your master to treat his illness, and the medicinal properties are very strong. You can't eat them."
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "My soul beast is not an ordinary sheep. It may be hungry. I wonder if you have any grass with spiritual energy here? Xiao Ba is very picky and he likes to eat that kind of grass."
Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "I don't know how to tell which grass has spiritual energy. We witches use magic power."
Chen Xiao said, "That's fine. The grass that Xiao Ba likes to eat is usually very rich in spiritual energy. If it's not a very important herb for you, please feed it to him. I'll buy as much as he eats. By the way, what currency do you use here?"
Zhu Bai was confused: "What is currency?"
Chen Xiao paused for a moment and said, "What do you use to trade with others?"
Zhu Bai understood, and he said, "You can use food or cloth to exchange things with the people in the tribe. In addition to these two things, you can also use slaves and prey."
Chen Xiao nodded and decided to do as the Romans do. They would use whatever the locals could accept as currency.
There were some leftover cloth from making clothes in his storage box. At worst, he could go hunting when he got better. He could always find a way to feed Xiao Ba's mouth.
Huang Keran wiped the sweat off Chen Xiao's face and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about Xiao Ba. He goes out to eat every day and comes back only when he's full. I think he thinks the herbs smell good and is craving for them."
Xiao Ba glared at him in dissatisfaction and bleated in protest. The sheep was not greedy, it just felt that these herbs were full of energy.
But since its owner needs it, it won’t eat it. What a good sheep it is.
