What a coincidence!

The moon remained silent as Qi Yuan stood alone by the door.

He knew what kind of weight it was, but he couldn't possibly understand it. Qi Yuan pondered for a long time.

When he opened the door again, his expression had changed.

"It's more about being silent and helpless." He may have a solution, but he can't tell anyone.

He suddenly remembered something: the Qi family possessed a secret technique that could save multiple people from one injury, but it had been banned later. He had once inadvertently come across it.

He can indeed save some people, but he can't save more or cover a wider area.

In comparison, the secret method seems somewhat abrupt.

It's somewhat like a brilliant, sudden realization.

I never imagined that he could still use his family's secret techniques, especially in his final, destitute state.

Qi Yuan recalled without hesitation what he had inadvertently glimpsed.

"If a disaster were to strike, would you choose to bear all the sins and evils on your own? This method is to gather the root of all people's illnesses together and leave one person to bear it alone. But this person must be alive and suffer for several years before dying."

Small print note: Using this method may harm yourself.

Qi Yuan acted without looking back or considering the consequences; he only sighed.

He did something he never even considered: he used a technique he didn't know how to use.

At that moment, he thought, "I should endure it."

From the moment I heard the conversation, from the beginning of his wide range of interests, and from the moment he left.

"...Why isn't it done yet?"

"…save……"

"Waaaaah."

When Qi Yuan used his secret technique, no one noticed and no one understood it.

Once the widespread disease subsides, a new life will emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

People came out in droves, creating a new atmosphere. And the old and outdated were all buried in the past.

Qi Yuan disappeared at this point, and all that was known was that his whereabouts were "unknown".

Li You sometimes stayed at the Qianwan Pharmacy, and sometimes went up the mountain to collect herbs.

But it's not over yet.

"What happened after that?" Chi Wangyue asked.

"After that? Naturally, other natural disasters will come to harm people. Only then will we realize that forcing cause and effect will ultimately lead to retribution."

He was wrong. The butterfly effect he created dealt him a most shocking and striking blow.

He tried to arrange the flowers, but they wouldn't bloom.

Qi Yuan had never imagined he would possess a statue. Especially after all the things he had done, he had discovered that he was powerless to control his own destiny and that he was actually quite weak. But there were always some people who understood his situation and would silently pray for him and show their concern.

The sculpture, which Li You sculpted himself, was placed on a plot of land near the Qianwan Pharmacy. He planted a small tree there, and just as the tree sprouted and grew branches, he finished the last stroke of the sculpture.

The unruly children passed by, not knowing the name of the older brother, only that his surname was Qi, so they simply named him "a branch among new shoots".

Thus, the pure white statue was given the name "Qizhi God Statue," and with Li You by its side, it guarded the statue year after year, leaving only a few young boys to continue its guardianship.

His soul lived on, but in the end, all that remained was a body trapped in endless darkness.

Qi Yuan lived for only three years. After finishing his work in Li Village, he left and established his name as "Qi Yuan".

"I am but a humble, unworthy physician."

"Without a teacher or school."

In the days that followed, he performed acts of saving lives in an anonymous manner to atone for the grave mistake he had made.

Everything has its destiny, and everything is possible. He simply thought, "May everything be as it may be."

All the suffering vanished only after Qi Yuan truly died.

He later learned that the village where he had lived had undergone many changes and ups and downs. But a white sculpture still stands in front of the "Qianwan Pharmacy" sign, which has long been weathered and faded, and stands alongside a sturdy pine tree behind the courtyard.

Li You has passed away, but those young boys who used to chase and play around seem to have become much more "wise" and sometimes come here to clean. It's not that they're particularly sincere, but it has witnessed a process of growth.

Fortunately, he could see that there were people behind him, and that "all things have a spirit."

Qi Yuan thought to himself, "It's not a bad deal."

Only then was his cause and effect finally complete.

Qi Yuan looked at the two juniors with gentle eyes, "Perhaps, things are no longer what they used to be."

Chi Wangyue cut straight to the point and asked, "Then what's going on with this secret realm?"

"It was done by someone with good intentions; it was beyond my ability to do."

Chi Wangyue snorted in dissatisfaction, "Then why didn't you come up with a better way to bring us in?"

"Being beaten by a bunch of broken old bones, and then having to find you through the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation, is really not easy."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Yan Tianhua looked at the "senior" in front of her seriously: "Things are different now. Is someone secretly plotting something?"

Qi Yuan nodded gently, "Someone here is trying to do something. But it's not like it used to be."

"The senior lived in the mortal world, but things are no longer the same now."

"Hmm..." Even though Qi Yuan didn't know the overall situation, his heart still trembled upon hearing it.

“The main reason we came here is you. If I’m not mistaken, we should have been somewhere else, and you are here because we have some connection with the Qizhi statue,” Chi Wangyue stated.

What do you want us to do?

"..."

"I... just want to make this place a little better."

Chi Wangyue smiled, looking into his eyes, and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "Okay. I agree."

"And him, his silence means he agreed."

Yan Tianhua glanced at him, feigning helplessness.

The solemn atmosphere was almost completely dispelled by a smile.

Yan Tianhua asked, somewhat seriously, "How do we get out?"

Qi Yuan said gently, "Come with me."

They entered a passageway.

That leads directly to the final exit, where everything begins.

Qi Yuan stood there, smiling gently, "I wish you both a safe and smooth journey."

The mountains are high and the roads are long, but we'll meet again someday.

Yan Tianhua silently grasped his hand, and Chi Wangyue did not let go either, maintaining a loose relationship between the two.

It wasn't until he saw a familiar place that he paused and said, "We've been holding hands for a while."

"I'm fine."

The two people had absolutely nothing in common, and each spoke their own story.

The silent atmosphere inside was broken by the sudden arrival of the two people.

Surprisingly, it was Wen Liang, Li Er, and Bai Hanxin.

Bai Hanxin looked at the two of them and gave them both a perfectly timed wry smile.

"Gentlemen, let me explain first. We are new here and not yet familiar with the battle situation."

“.

No one answered; only that sentence remained on the ground.

Wen Liang spoke with a heavy and slightly weary tone, "We're also in a mess about this."

"Um."

“We were led here by someone, and then we saw the fake store manager. Bai Hanxin happened to come in too, and she misunderstood. She was exposed and ran away. It was at this moment that you arrived.”

Everything happened by chance.
