As soon as the two arrived in the deep mountains, they used their spiritual energy without any restraint, following the soul that was leading the way, and soared through the mountains.
Unfortunately, none of them are Grand Celestial Masters yet, and they cannot activate the Shrinking Earth Technique.
Old Jiang, who was leading the way, was secretly pleased. He had thought that Hua Xiangyun was the only sorcerer, but now another one had been added. It was worth waiting here for so many years.
The further you go in, the more lush the vegetation becomes; in some places, there aren't even any roads.
When their spiritual energy was depleted, Hua Xiangyun immediately took out a few drops of spiritual liquid, and the two of them were instantly revived.
Old Jiang greedily inhaled the overflowing, sparse spiritual energy; just one breath was equivalent to absorbing a month's worth of lunar essence.
"Masters, we'll arrive after crossing three more mountains." Old Jiang served them even more carefully, for these were not the charlatans he had encountered in his previous life; they possessed genuine skills.
"How did you find this place, which is so far away?" Hua Xiangyun asked, looking at the pitch-black expanse ahead.
On such a moonless night, it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Fortunately, they had all mastered cultivation and were able to see in the dark.
Otherwise, even with a flashlight, the dense fog in these deep mountains would probably prevent one from walking this fast.
"To be honest, my ancestors were doctors, and I am the fourteenth generation to carry on their legacy," Old Jiang's ghostly figure hung on the tree branch.
There is a long-standing legend that our ancestors found a propitious spot deep in the mountains and planted a variety of medicinal herbs there.
However, one of the ancestors passed away suddenly and did not have time to explain the location in detail, so even though we knew that the place existed, we could not find it anywhere.
Unfortunately, my skills were lacking, and I got involved in a murder case, causing the entire family business to decline. I truly feel ashamed before my ancestors and future generations.
Old Jiang almost lost his balance when he recalled some past events.
Hua Xiangyun: "Then why did you tell us the location? What if your descendants find this place in the future..."
Old Jiang shook his head with a bitter smile, "My unfilial descendants have long forgotten their ancestors. Of all these children, not one of them studied medicine. They've destroyed all the medical classics and case studies in the family. It will be even more difficult for them to achieve anything in the future..."
Jiang Yi chuckled, "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like a savior. On the contrary, you're burdened with several grievances. Tell me, what is your purpose in leading us here?"
If you want to deceive the sorcerer, then don't show your face. Even if you become a spirit, the grievances you bear will not be resolved.
The two had long since realized the other's ill intentions, but the allure of the medicinal field was too great for them. These ghosts liked anything that was a mix of truth and falsehood, and they were unwilling to let go of any possibility. Danger always comes with opportunity.
They have no shortage of money or goods, but they are very scarce in medicinal herbs.
“I knew I couldn’t fool you two masters,” Old Jiang said, no longer pretending. “Although this medicinal field doesn’t belong to our Jiang family, it’s currently unclaimed. We are souls and can’t touch it at all, so we’re offering it to you two masters. But I have a small request, and I hope you two masters can grant it.”
Hua Xiangyun glanced at him and said, "You should know that if something is unclaimed, it is destined to be obtained by someone with a special fate."
Even if you don't provide us with this information, finding the place isn't difficult for us.
"I know that what you have asked for is a simple matter for you two. With my guidance, you can avoid many detours."
Seeing how confident the other party was, Jiang Yi and Hua Xiangyun became interested and wanted to hear what it was that could be done with just a little effort.
"I would like the two masters to change my burial site," Old Jiang said, carefully observing the changes in their expressions. If they frowned, he would change his request.
Hua Xiangyun refused outright, saying, "These are things that future generations should do; we don't take on such jobs."
Helping with feng shui is feasible, but relocating graves is out of the question.
Old Jiang said, “My descendants haven’t visited my grave for twenty or thirty years and have long forgotten about it. My grave is in serious disrepair, which is why I’ve come to you two masters for help.”
Jiang Yi carefully observed his face before saying, "A hundred years in Mengyin is enough, why force it further?"
The merits and karmic consequences of this old ginger will naturally be judged by the underworld officials, but he has lingered in this world for too long, and his karmic ties with his descendants have been severed.
“This burial site is, after all, my place of residence. But my descendants are not living up to my expectations, so I am inevitably anxious. I have already found a suitable place for this new burial site. You two masters only need to help me change my final resting place.”
Hua Xiangyun chuckled and said, "You make it sound so easy. Opening a tomb and moving a grave is a matter for future generations. If we do that, we will be violating the rules of the underworld. You are just a guide, yet you want to get us involved in karma."
This schemer is quite cunning. Does he think we'd make any promises for the sake of this so-called medicinal field?
Before they even saw the medicinal herb field, this old devil dared to dig a pit for them here.
“Please don’t be in a hurry, masters,” Old Jiang quickly bowed. “That medicinal field is old enough and has a wide variety of herbs, but I also know of a 500-year-old ginseng from the deep mountains. I am willing to take you there.”
He studied medicine all his life, and he knew exactly where the precious medicinal herbs were in these remote mountains.
Unfortunately, he could only see them but not touch them, and he had no way to notify his descendants to come and take them. Now he could only use these things to exchange for some benefits with the master.
Otherwise, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to let the two masters help him move his grave and take advantage of the situation.
If the two masters help him move the grave, it will create a connection, and they may be able to take care of his descendants in the future.
It is customary for descendants to build a new grave after five generations. Now, the descendants do not even know where his grave is. Well... they may know, but they feel that it is too old to make offerings anymore.
But his children and grandchildren are disappointing; not one of them became a doctor, and now they are slowly becoming ordinary people. If this continues, they will only be ordinary citizens in the future.
Old Jiang was unwilling to accept it. His ancestors had produced imperial physicians, and the more glorious the family was back then, the more destitute they seemed now.
He had already given up hope, but unexpectedly, such a capable person came to Qianjin Village, so he naturally had to give it his all for his children and grandchildren.
Jiang Yi and Hua Xiangyun were both tempted. Jiang Yi's trip up the mountain wasn't just for hunting; he wanted to find some medicinal herbs to concoct medicine for the two of them. Cultivation couldn't rely solely on magic; one also needed to train one's body.
If these 500-year-old ginseng roots were used in medicine, their cultivation could take another big step forward.
"Then we'll just help you move the grave there; we can't force you to do anything else." Jiang Yi was only willing to use the simplest method of relocating the grave; as for what the descendants should do, they didn't want to touch upon it at all.
