Chapter 237: Common Origin
Nan Chi could see that the old man in front of him was the kind of old naughty boy who looked serious on the outside but was actually very reserved on the inside!
After the old man finally stopped laughing, Nan Chi asked, "How did you know that, old man?"
Come on, I need to perfect my disguise.
"To be honest, your disguise was very successful, but it's very difficult to deceive a doctor."
"Doctor?" Nan Chi was dumbfounded.
"I can tell whether you are a man or a woman based on the frequency of your breathing."
Nanchi: (ー_ー)!!
I've never been so panicked in my life.
"Is the old man a master of medicine?" Nan Chi was really panicked, but in his panic he was actually a little surprised.
Because she could feel that the old man had no ill will towards her, and the lack of ill will did not mean that she could do something more aggressive.
The old man smiled and said, "Since we are from the same origin, you can ask some questions that I can answer."
Nan Chi looked at the smiling old man and slapped him without saying a word.
But the old man just waved his sleeve and forced him to retreat.
He even said disrespectfully, "You only have so little strength. My people should have treated you warmly these past few days. Didn't you have enough to eat?"
Nan Chi was standing a few meters away. The palm strike she just made was just a test, because she had no idea how strong the old man was. She was afraid that she would not know how to control her severity and would kill the old man with one slap!
Now it seems that I don't need to show mercy. This old man has unfathomable strength.
In this way, the old man and the young boy started to exchange ideas with each other in this small courtyard.
If there were people around, they would definitely see the young man in white attacking with all his strength, and the whole yard would be filled with his afterimages and palm shadows.
But the old man sat on the stone table drinking tea from beginning to end. Facing the boy's attack, he only occasionally threw a punch, a finger, or a palm, and easily deflected the fierce attack without even moving his body at all.
"Little girl, you have practiced the basic skills well, but your strength is still a little lacking." The old man poured another cup of tea and with a flick of his sleeves, he forced the young man back.
“clang!”
The sound of a sword.
The old man finally opened his eyelids and watched Nan Chi's sword-drawing move. A hint of surprise finally flashed across his cloudy eyes.
"The ancestral land has not been cut off." He whispered in an inaudible voice.
Unfortunately, Nan Chi, who was planning a big move, didn't hear it.
"alright."
Just as Nan Chi was about to draw her sword, the old man slapped down with his palm. A large golden hand instantly covered Nan Chi, and with just a soft force, he knocked her and her sword away.
Nan Chi landed lightly.
At this moment, there was no trace of discouragement on her face. Her eyes were surprisingly bright and there was an excited smile on the corner of her mouth.
Because she discovered that this old man's strength was even stronger than that of a Saint!
And it is really as he said, he and I are from the same origin!
"Senior." Nan Chi was so excited that he lost his composure for the first time. He had so much to say that he didn't know where to start.
Why are there ancestors from the Blue Star in this place?
"Take your time. Actually, I'm also surprised that you are the first person from our ancestral land in these hundreds or thousands of years." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Ancestral land?" Nan Chi was puzzled.
"Our clan was brought here by our ancestor. As for how he came to this place, we don't know..."
After the old man gave a brief description of his group, he began to ask, "Is there any trouble in the ancestral land now?"
Nan Chi shook his head and seriously told the old man about the current situation of Telan Star.
After listening to Nan Chi's narration, there was no surprise on the old man's face.
"Old man, did your ancestors already predict... that the current situation in our ancestral land would occur?"
"Yes, after all, the formations set up by those foreign tribes were too powerful, and our ancestors were just at the end of their strength. In order to preserve the fire, they had no choice but to come here..." The old man sighed.
"What exactly happened back then?" Nan Chi was eager to know the past of Telan Star.
"I don't know either."
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head dejectedly.
All of Nan Chi's words were stuck in his throat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable because he couldn't get them out.
"There is no record in the classics or..."
"Little girl, don't waste your energy. As for the matters concerning the ancestral land, my generation has only heard fragments of them. My ancestor met with an accident while cultivating, and nothing was left behind..."
Nan Chi: “!”
How could it be so careless? It really makes me angry to death!
"The world is so big, there should be other ethnic groups coming from their ancestral land, right?" Nan Chi just didn't believe it.
Seeing Nan Chi almost going berserk, the old man smiled with interest and said, "Don't look for it anymore. We are the only tribe in this world that comes from the ancestral land."
These words made Nan Chi's eyes darken, and he had no choice but to accept his fate.
However, from this old man, she learned many secrets of this world.
It turns out that this world, like the previous Taichu Secret Realm, has been slaughtered by alien races. The ancestors of Telan Star found this place based on the information they heard from alien races.
"Does this mean that this world will be found by aliens?" Nan Chi pondered.
"No, do you think the walls of this world are made of paper? You can wear it if you want?" The old man sighed and shook his head.
"Every world has its own origin and rules. The boundary wall has the ability to self-repair. The entrance to the previous world may not be applicable to the current one. Even the entrance you entered through may not be the same as the one you can use to exit..."
The old man's words gave Nan Chi a new understanding of the origin of the world.
Next, the old man threw a medical book to her. "Although the martial arts tradition of our ancestral land is still there, the medical skills have been almost completely abandoned, right? Memorize these prescriptions for me within an hour..."
Nan Chi: Can you refuse?
"No! These prescriptions are related to advancement. You are currently at the Xiantian realm, not yet at that level that would make people despair. Little girl, one day when you reach the peak of the Xiantian realm and still can't step into another door no matter what, you will know that you are wrong!"
Nan Chi frowned, "You mean, without the help of medicine, it would be difficult to advance to a higher realm?"
"It's not very difficult, but, given the environment there, it's almost impossible!" The old man's steady tone made Nan Chi feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
Only then did she remember that even though Master Yang, who was an ancient scholar, was already two hundred years old, he was still at the peak of the King-level Great Perfection!
There are many teachers of ancient studies who are in the same situation. How many years have these people been stuck at the King Level of Great Perfection?
"So that's why?" Nan Chi whispered in horror.
It’s not because their talents are not amazing enough, but because the road to the Saint level is too narrow, so narrow that even the door cannot be opened?
