Chapter 17

Although Madam Jiang and Grandpa Jiang felt sorry for their grandson, they chose to remain silent at this moment. It was only right for the master to discipline his grandson for disrespecting him.

Moreover, now that Grandpa Jiang has witnessed Ye Zi's abilities firsthand, he is even more convinced that Ye Zi can cure his grandson's illness.

Hearing the noise, Ye Zi made a silencing spell on Jiang Mo, who was shouting and yelling, and the room instantly became quiet.

At this moment, Jiang Mo had already touched the ceiling. Ye Zi waved her hand, and Jiang Mo flipped over, face down. When Jiang Mo looked down at the ground, he realized for the first time how high his own roof was.

"I'm scared!" Jiang Mo, who is afraid of heights, raised her hand to cover her eyes, but found that her arm did not obey her command and instead spread out to both sides.

Helpless, Jiang Mo could only close his eyes to stop himself from looking.

Then, in the next second, Jiang Mo's body began to spin, making a 360-degree circle parallel to the roof.

Yes, Jiang Mo was like a human fan, spinning rapidly and continuously on the ceiling.

Luo Hengzhi finally saw Jiang Mo's hardship and lowered her head to hide her smile. Ye Zi's move was really cunning!

However, the more Luo Hengzhi thought about it, the funnier it became, and she couldn't help but laugh. When Luo Hengzhi looked up, she saw the spirit sword fly to Jiang Mo's side. As Jiang Mo turned around, the flying sword playfully tapped Jiang Mo's palm.

"This sword is very spiritual! Haha..." Grandpa Jiang laughed awkwardly, glancing at Ye Zi from time to time, hoping that Ye Zi would spare his precious grandson this time, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Ye Zi released Jiang Mo from the gagging spell.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Master. Your disciple was really wrong. Your disciple will never dare to talk back to you again! Please let me go." Jiang Mo was dizzy and nauseous from being spun around. The worst part was that he was also slapped on the palm. He was over 20 years old, not a child. This behavior was so hurtful.

Ye Zi then released Jiang Mo. As soon as Jiang Mo landed, he felt the whole world spinning and lay motionless on the ground.

The mischievous spirit sword seized the opportunity to fly over and slap Jiang Mo's bottom a few times!

"I was wrong! Please stop hitting me! Waaah..." Jiang Mo finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs!

Jiang Mo now deeply regrets provoking Ye Zi, but now is not the time to think about that. He is worried about whether his master will hold a grudge.

If he holds a grudge, won't he find ways to torment him every day? Then his life would be unbearable!

"Mo'er." Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang quickly went to their grandson's side and helped him up.

Jiang Mo was still dizzy after getting up, and it took her a while to stand up straight.

After Jiang Mo regained consciousness, the first thing he did was go to Ye Zi's side, kneel down with a "thump", and obediently and properly kowtowed and performed the grand ceremony: "Master, your disciple knows he was wrong, your disciple will never dare to do it again. Master, you are a great man who does not hold grudges against a petty person, please forgive your disciple this time. Your disciple will definitely be filial to your master in the future!"

"Would you like to go to Lingju Temple?" Ye Zi asked.

Jiang Mo: "Yes, yes!"

Jiang Mo knew best the torment of the icy cold. With such a powerful master, he was sure his illness could be cured, so he was naturally happy to accept.

"Take one pill a day to temporarily relieve the cold poison in your body." Ye Zi handed Jiang Mo a bottle of pills containing six Qi-strengthening pills.

However, Gu Yuan Dan only treats the symptoms, not the root cause; it merely suppresses the cold toxins temporarily.

Jiang Mo took the pill and opened it. A refreshing medicinal scent wafted out, and he instantly felt much more comfortable: "Master, can I take it now?"

Ye Zi had just nodded when Jiang Mo couldn't wait to swallow one. The pill transformed into streams of warm current that flowed into his limbs, and Jiang Mo felt a warmth he had never experienced before.

"Grandpa and Grandma, feel my hands, are they a little warm?" Jiang Mo was naturally lively, and at this moment he was even more excited. Even though he was in his twenties, he was still like a child, tugging at his grandfather's hand one moment and touching his grandmother's hand the next.

Ye Zi turned and glanced at Luo Hengzhi with pity in her eyes.

Luo Hengzhi was puzzled by Ye Zi's sudden glance.

Luo Hengzhi is younger than Jiang Mo, and both were born into wealthy families, yet their circumstances are worlds apart.

Luo Hengzhi understood immediately upon hearing Ye Zi's words. It turned out that Ye Zi was pitying him again. In fact, there was no need for that; his personality was naturally different from Jiang Mo's.

He never acted like this when his parents were alive!

"It's really warm now." Old Madam Jiang kept touching her grandson's hands and face to confirm, her eyes filled with tears again, and her voice choked with emotion, "Good! Good! It's not cold anymore."

Old Master Jiang's eyes also reddened: "Immortal, how much of this medicine is left? My Jiang family is willing to buy it all."

"This pill only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It only temporarily suppresses the coldness on his body. A proper treatment will have to wait until he arrives at Lingju Temple, where he can consolidate the treatment with other medicinal liquids." Ye Zi did not tell the whole truth.

To completely eliminate the cold poison accumulated in Jiang Mo's body by the Ice Spirit Root, besides rebuilding his body and strengthening his essence, he also needs to take a level six elixir. Although Master can refine level six elixirs, it's uncertain whether we can find that kind of level six spiritual herb right now. Therefore, we can only take him back first and then discuss it with Master.

Luo Hengzhi listened with some curiosity about Ye Zishu's level six pills and level six spiritual herbs, thinking that he would need to read some herbal books to broaden his knowledge when he got back.

Grandpa Jiang: "Then I'll trouble you, Immortal. I'll send someone to escort you back to Lingju Temple right away."

Overjoyed that her grandson's illness could be cured, Madam Jiang immediately sent the good news to her son and daughter-in-law.

"No rush, the Jiang family's problems haven't been resolved yet. Old Master Jiang, please stay in your room and remember not to leave." Ye Zi finished speaking and went to the courtyard.

"The problem isn't solved yet?" Old Madam Jiang didn't know what other problems were there. She thought that her husband waking up meant he was completely cured, so how could there be other problems at home?

"Grandma, you stay in the room with Grandpa. You must listen to Master and not leave the room. I'm going out with Master to take a look." After Jiang Mo left, she closed the door.

Luo Hengzhi followed him into the courtyard. In the vast Jiang residence, no one would dare to dig a burial pit here. He was quite curious about where the deathly aura here came from.

The spirit sword flew into the sky and formed a barrier that covered the area in the courtyard that was emanating death energy.

Ye Zi formed an explosive hand seal with both hands and pointed at the deathly aura: "Break!"

The ground in that area was blown open, but the debris was blocked by the barrier and did not fly outwards, leaving a shallow circular crater in the yard.

Ye Zi looked at the shallow pit: "Gathering Evil Formation."

Luo Hengzhi took a step forward and examined the formation that appeared in the courtyard. It was indeed a Gathering Fiend Formation, one of the formations he had just seen. The book recorded that this small formation could gather death energy from a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Don't get too close." Ye Zi blocked Luo Hengzhi, who was walking forward, behind her.

Luo Hengzhi: "I can break this formation. Shall I give it a try?"

"You can break it?" Ye Zi turned to look at Luo Hengzhi, recalling that when Luo Hengzhi was choosing books to read, there was indeed a book on formations. "You just looked at this formation?"

"Yes, I just finished reading it, and I can still remember it," Luo Hengzhi said.

"Go ahead." Ye Zi stepped aside and let Luo Hengzhi walk forward, thinking it wouldn't hurt for Luo Hengzhi to give it a try.

If anything goes wrong, she can teleport there immediately to protect Luo Hengzhi and then use her spirit sword to destroy the formation.

"Wait a minute." Ye Zi took out a protective pill and handed it to Luo Hengzhi. "Eat this first."

"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi took it and threw it into her mouth. It tasted the same as last time, preventing the death energy from entering her body.

Luo Hengzhi entered the barrier, picked up a brick from the ground, held it in his hand, and walked straight into the center of the formation.

"Master, what is Young Master Luo doing with that brick?" Jiang Mo didn't have his Heavenly Eye open, so he couldn't see the death aura or the barrier.

Ye Zi: "Break the formation!"

"A formation? Master, you mean there's a formation in my yard, and Young Master Luo broke it with a brick? A brick can actually break a formation?" Jiang Mo found a stool and sat down, deciding to watch closely and see how Luo Hengzhi broke the formation with a brick.

Ye Zi didn't expect Luo Hengzhi to use what was available and choose a brick. Ye Zi planned to send the spirit sword over to help Luo Hengzhi once he found the array's core.

Luo Hengzhi stood in the center of the formation and saw the surging death energy converging into the formation from all directions, trying to invade his body, but it was blocked by the double protective layer formed by the pills and his magic robe.

Based on the description of the array eye in the book, Luo Hengzhi quickly found the location of the array eye using her Heavenly Eye. However, when Luo Hengzhi tried to approach the array eye, the array eye suddenly changed, transforming into six array eyes that were randomly distributed.

"A formation within a formation, a maze formation within the Gathering Evil Formation." Luo Hengzhi stopped in his tracks, standing still as he calmly observed the characteristics of the six formation eyes.

“No matter how the array eye transforms, there is only one real array eye. A fake one is a fake one, and there will always be differences.” Luo Hengzhi noticed that the flow of death energy at the six array eyes was different.

There are six nodes: three clockwise, two counterclockwise, and one that is static and does not move.

Upon noticing the difference, Luo Hengzhi raised his hand without hesitation and slammed the brick with all his might against the still array eye. Instantly, the deathly aura surging from all directions came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Zi smiled faintly, looking at Luo Hengzhi with gentle eyes.

[To be so calm, confident, and decisive on the first attempt at breaking through the formation!]

Upon hearing Ye Zi's thoughts, Luo Hengzhi looked up at Ye Zi. Their eyes met, and Luo Hengzhi's face was filled with confidence and arrogance, which made Ye Zi smile with relief.

From this moment on, something seemed to be different!

"It's broken already? You just threw a brick down and it's fixed?" Jiang Mo looked at it very seriously, but couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Jiang Mo saw Luo Hengzhi slam the brick to the ground with a "thud," and then he saw his expressionless master... smile the next second.

If he had known that breaking the formation was so simple, he would have gone instead, hoping to change his master's attitude towards him and stop him from being thrown onto the ceiling as a fan.

"Brother Luo, you're so cool!" Jiang Mo gave Luo Hengzhi a thumbs up.

Luo Hengzhi looked at Jiang Mo and corrected him, "You're older than me, I'm only 20."

"What? You're only... 20? You're younger than me? But didn't you already... do business with my grandfather a few years ago?" Jiang Mo wanted to shut up more and more as he spoke, and his voice grew softer and softer.

Luo Hengzhi is only 20 now, which means that Luo Hengzhi, who was able to keep up with his grandfather back then, was only a teenager and still a minor. At this moment, Jiang Mo deeply realized the true value of the title "business prodigy Luo Hengzhi".

"Go and say goodbye to your grandparents, then come back to Lingju Temple with me." Ye Zi glanced at the sky; it was getting late, and they should head back.

"Okay." Jiang Mo didn't linger. He turned around and went back into the house to tell his grandparents that the problem had been solved. When he came out, he handed a check to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi glanced at the check; it was 100 million, which should be the total compensation for the old man's illness and the deathly aura in the hospital.

"Immortals, I've sent someone to wait at the gate to escort you back to Lingju Temple." Old Madam Jiang helped Old Master Jiang out.

"No need." Ye Zi tossed Jiang Mo's collar onto the spirit sword, then she and Luo Hengzhi transformed into a long rainbow and left.
