Yan Baibai thought she had transmigrated into a male lead's upgrade and face-slapping "cool" novel. After being awakened by the system, she was forced to undertake tasks to advance the ...
The escape was not safe, but halfway through, Yan Baibai's body relaxed and he fell into a coma completely. At that time, Xiao Changhen knew that Yan Baibai's body had become abnormal again.
Xiao Changhen suppressed the emotion on his face and used a trace of his consciousness to search in his storage ring. He finally found a small boat. It was a small flying magic tool that could fit two people.
After spreading a soft quilt over the boat and placing the person in his arms aboard, Xiao Changhen finally climbed aboard. During the sleepless nights searching for Yan Baibai, Xiao Changhen had absorbed a great deal of knowledge about the world of immortal cultivation. For him now, piloting a small boat wasn't a problem.
When the sky was fully light, Xiao Changhen finally arrived at a new city - Hehuan City.
Hearing this name, one knows that it is closely related to the Hehuan Sect, and this is indeed the case. Hehuan City is the closest human city to the Hehuan Sect and is under the jurisdiction of the Hehuan Sect.
The reason for choosing this place, in addition to avoiding those believers, was most importantly to understand the abnormality that happened to Yan Baibai.
As he approached Hehuan City, Xiao Changhen felt several powerful divine senses sweeping over him. Xiao Changhen knew they weren't directed at him, as the divine senses swept over a large area and then quickly disappeared.
Xiao Changhen put away his boat and obediently went to the city gate to undergo the inspection. When he saw the inspection props, Xiao Changhen knew that Hehuan City had already known about the attack on Lucheng by the demons, because that prop was the magic water!
Because Yan Baibai was unconscious, Xiao Changhen was looked at warily by the people around him when he entered the city gate. There were both male and female cultivators guarding the city gate. When the female cultivator saw a cold and murderous man holding an unconscious younger woman, she immediately led the two aside.
Before the female cultivator spoke, she poured some "Magic Water" on the backs of the two people's hands. After waiting for a moment and seeing no changes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next question was, as usual, "Where are you from? What is your purpose in coming to Hehuan City? What is your relationship?"
"Lucheng, medical treatment, husband and wife." Xiao Changhen's answer was also very simple.
Xiao Changhen thought that it would take some effort to get in. Not wanting to cause any trouble, he had prepared himself mentally and was thinking about how to make the person on the other side believe that he and Bai Bai were husband and wife. However, he did not expect that after he answered, he was quickly let in.
"Senior Sister Xiaoyu, is that man really okay?" Looking at Xiao Changhen's back, the male cultivator at the city gate asked, his tone full of doubt.
"When we were coming down the mountain, my mother gave me a piece of Mantra Jade," Li Xiaoyu said, touching the white jade ring on her index finger. "When that person answered the question, the ring didn't react at all."
Xiao Changhen, who was anxious to go into the city to find a doctor, was unaware of the conversation between the two at the city gate.
After coming out of the third medical clinic in Hehuan City, Xiao Changhen's expression could no longer be described as "ugly".
After visiting three medical clinics, no less than ten doctors examined Yan Baibai's body, but they couldn't find any problems.
"Young man, go to the north of the city and find a ghost doctor. If he can't figure it out, you don't have to waste your time." This was the advice a white-haired old doctor gave to Xiao Changhen when they went to see the last medical practitioner.
Looking at the person in his arms whose lips were beginning to turn pale, Xiao Changhen gritted his teeth and went straight to find the ghost cultivator in the north of the city.
The process of finding the ghost doctor was not smooth. To be more precise, he traveled all over the north of the city but still couldn't find the ghost doctor.
During inquiries, everyone in the north of the city seemed to know the Ghost Doctor, but they described him in different ways. Some described him as an old man, others as a young man, and even more as a child. Their opinions of him were also extremely polarized, with some calling him a living Buddha, while others called him a worthless person...
Just when Xiao Changhen was extremely exhausted and found an inn to stay in, an accident happened on the first floor of the inn.
"Get out of here! The innkeeper has ordered that we can no longer give you credit. You already owe our inn a lot of spirit stones."
"I can go, but you have to return my storage bag to me. There's something in it that saved my wife's life."
"No, this is all the valuable stuff you have on you. If everyone is like you, will our hotel still be able to do business?"
Xiao Changhen didn't want to care at first, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he stopped.
"How many spirit stones does he owe you?"
"Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones," the waiter said, glancing at Xiao Changhen, who was holding an unconscious man in his arms. He understood, "I know you two share the same suffering, but your wife is also... You should be more frugal. Don't be like this guy. He wasn't this poor at first, but then he generously gave money to anyone in need, and ended up like this!"
From the waiter's mouth, Xiao Changhen roughly understood what had happened. The slovenly man had also brought his wife to Hehuan City for medical treatment before, and initially stayed at this inn. Just as the waiter had said, the man was very soft-hearted, generously donating everywhere, and in the end, he had used up all his spirit stones, and his wife's illness was not cured.
The inn was not a charity, and after he owed too much rent, they had no choice but to kick him out. If things had ended there, it would have been fine, but while his wife was staying at the inn, she fell in love with the sweet soup provided by the inn's kitchen, and the man would come to the inn to buy a bowl from time to time.
It was said to be a purchase, but in fact it was also on credit. Until this time, the innkeeper could no longer tolerate it and directly snatched the storage bag that the man was carrying with him, wanting to use it to pay for the spirit stones he owed, and then the scene just now happened.
After telling the story, the waiter thought that Xiao Changhen would be persuaded to leave, but he didn't expect that Xiao Changhen still insisted on helping the sloppy man pay back the spirit stones he owed.
The waiter reluctantly returned the storage bag to the sloppy man and enthusiastically offered to lead the way for Xiao Changhen.
"Your wife cannot be cured by normal medical treatment."
When Xiao Changhen turned around, the sloppy man suddenly spoke.
Xiao Changhen immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you know medicine?"
"How could he know any medical skills?" Before the man could answer, the waiter jumped out and replied, "He just knows some folk remedies and cured a few people by luck. Those ignorant people gave him a famous nickname, like "Ghost Doctor"... Oh, Ghost Doctor!"
