Yi Xichen and Lu Ziyao were both helpless. If it was just the miasma invading the body, the awakening pill would have been enough to deal with it, but the eldest grandson Zijun showed no signs of improvement.

"Let's go find Elder Yao." Lu Ziyao suggested, "After all, he is the elder of Yaoge and your master. Maybe he will have a solution."

Yi Xichen had thought about this before, but because his eldest grandson Jun's condition was too strange, and he thought that he and he...had a child, it was too shameful, so Yi Xichen thought that if he could solve it himself, he would solve it himself, and not let more people know. Unfortunately, at this point, he could only look for a medicine that was not poisonous.

The eldest grandson, Jun, agreed to go see Yao Budu. Now it was clear that he was the one with the problem, and Yao Budu was the elder he trusted the most, so he also hoped to find out the crux of the problem as soon as possible.

As soon as he left the house, Lu Ziyao's token vibrated. It was the elders of the Sword Refining Pavilion who summoned him for something. He could no longer accompany his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen, but the two of them didn't mind and left him alone to go to the medicine forest.

On the way, Yi Xichen reminded his eldest grandson Zijun: "When you meet the master later, just tell him what makes you uncomfortable, including all the things you find strange. The master is knowledgeable and may know what's going on."

The eldest grandson, Jun, said nothing.

"——But, you are not allowed to mention anything about children!" Yi Xichen threatened with a fierce look on his face, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will... I will let the golden toad pee on your pillow!"

The eldest grandson Jun couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not pregnant?" Even though it was the Bingchen year now, in his memory, Yi Xichen was pregnant with their first child in the Bingchen year.

Yi Xichen was furious: "Damn you! Remember! You are not allowed to mention this matter!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard full of exotic flowers and herbs, a stone pestle flew straight to Yi Xichen's head, and a powerful voice shouted: "Yi Xichen! Did you steal the herbs from my herb garden again!"

Yi Xichen was about to dodge, but a figure was faster than him and the stone pestle was intercepted in mid-air.

The eldest grandson Jun caught the hidden weapon and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man standing in the yard: "Master." This man was Yao Budu, the elder of the Medicine Pavilion, the master of the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen. He was also the person the eldest grandson Jun respected the most.

Yi Xichen poked his head out from behind his eldest grandson Zijun and said with a flattering smile, "Master, don't be angry. Just listen to my explanation..."

Yao Budu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Zijun, get out of my way, I must teach this little bastard a lesson today!"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, did not move. Even if the other party was his master, he would not allow anyone other than himself to hurt Yi Xichen in the slightest.

"Master Zijun has a strange disease and I stole the medicine to cure him, but I can't cure him, so I have to ask Master for help!" Yi Xichen stated his purpose in one breath.

Yao Budu was stunned for a moment, and his anger was immediately calmed down: "Zijun is sick?"

Yi Xichen quickly pushed his eldest grandson Jun over.

Yao Bu Du quickly walked up to his eldest grandson Zijun, looked at his complexion, grabbed his hand and checked his pulse. However, his complexion was smooth and his pulse was steady, and there was nothing wrong.

"Last night, I asked Zijun to accompany me to the miasma forest..." Yi Xichen took a step back calmly, away from Yao Budu's attack range, "Zijun might have inhaled the miasma, so he had some... cough, hallucinations."

"Zhaozi Lin?" Yao Budu stretched out his hand and wanted to give this ignorant brat a blow on the head, but he dodged too quickly. "So you stole my Qi-blocking Pill too?!"

If it weren't for the eldest grandson Jun who stood in front of him calmly, Yao Budu really wanted to rush over and pin the ignorant disciple to the ground and beat him up. However, it was more important to find out the eldest grandson Jun's illness at the moment.

"You inhaled the miasma?" Yao Bu Du asked, "Do you still remember who I am?"

"Master."

"Who is that boy?"

"..." Under Yi Xichen's murderous gaze, the eldest grandson Zijun silently swallowed the three words "mother of the child" and said, "Yi Xichen."

"What year and month is today?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, pursed his lips and whispered, "I just went to Shennong Temple to check it out. It was the Bingchen year."

"But he originally thought that this year was the Jiazi year." Yi Xichen added.

Yao Bu Du was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "The Jia Zi year... eight years later or sixty-eight years later?"

"Eight years later."

"Who are you after eight years?"

"The best swordsman in the world."

Yao Bu Du was delighted: "As expected of my disciple, you have great ambitions and have become the best swordsman in the world in just eight years. Great!"

"Hey, Master." Yi Xichen was speechless, "This is not the point."

Yao Budu was very interested in this: "Who will I be in eight years?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was slightly stunned. In his worldview, Yao Budu had become a vague person since some time ago. He would appear when he was needed, and he seemed to disappear from the world when he was not needed. He could only answer, "He is my master."

Yao Budu thought he would hear an answer like the best medicine cultivator in the world, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He was very happy in his heart, but he said dissatisfiedly: "You bastard, after eight years of fooling around, you have become the best sword cultivator in the world, but I am just the master of the best sword cultivator in the world? Forget it, come with me into the house first."

The three men entered the house. Yao Budu ordered his eldest grandson Jun to meditate opposite him and told him to enter a state of concentration. He wanted to enter his sea of ​​consciousness to see what was going on.

The sea of ​​consciousness is the most secret place for a monk. If one cannot protect his sea of ​​consciousness, it will be easily invaded by demons. The monk may go astray or die suddenly. Therefore, all monks will only open their sea of ​​consciousness to the people they trust the most.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was a little hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't trust Yao Budu. Even if everyone in the world wanted to harm him, the first person who wouldn't abandon him was Yi Xichen, and the second was their master. If there was no Yao Budu, he would have been a dead body in the mountains. It's just... when he recalled the past, it seemed that there was nothing else in his memory except this and that with Yi Xichen... Not to mention Yi Xichen, even he himself felt ashamed...

"What's wrong?" Yao Budu saw that he was taking a long time to enter into meditation, and asked unhappily, "Could it be that you have something that you cannot show to your master?"

The eldest grandson Zijun thought that it was Yao Budu who usually treated Yi Xichen's miscarriages, and this little thing could not be hidden from his master, so he calmed down and meditated, opening his sea of ​​consciousness to Yao Budu without any defense.

Yao Bu Du pointed his finger at his forehead and drew out a thread of consciousness that entered his sea of ​​awareness.

With the invasion of other minds, the eldest grandson Jun was involuntarily drawn into the memories of the past.

For Chang Sun Zijun and Yi Xichen, Yao Budu is both a teacher and a father. When Chang Sun Zijun was framed by Xiao Kui and others, he accidentally entered the forbidden area in the back mountain. It is said that the forbidden area in the back mountain of Tianjianmen is the place where a great man of the time lives in seclusion and practice, so there are many ferocious fairy beasts guarding it, and any intruder will be killed without mercy. At that time, Chang Sun Zijun was still a child. Even if he was gifted, he didn't have much cultivation. How could he be a match for those fairy beasts? He tried his best and finally escaped from the forbidden area with his last breath. It was a miracle, but of course he was covered with wounds and dying.

He was in a coma for seven days and seven nights. After he woke up in pain, the first thing people said to him was that he had violated the sect's rules and must be expelled from the Tianjian Sect. From then on, whether he became a demon or a ghost, he would have nothing to do with the Tianjian Sect.

He was locked up in the dungeon for seven days, and only Yao Budu, the elder of the Medicine Pavilion, came to see him. Yao Budu talked to him, and he only said two words, which changed his fate.

Yao Budu said: "Child, from the first day you entered Tianjianmen, I knew from your eyes that you were not a bad kid. This matter is too strange, I only have two questions for you. First, did you want to break into the forbidden area in the back mountain by yourself?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, said the first word: No.

Yao Bu Du asked again: After all this, do you still want to continue to practice swordsmanship in Tianjian Sect? Even if you can't stay in Lianjian Pavilion.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, said the second word: think.

Yao Bu Du touched his head, gave him a few pills to treat his injuries and left.

He still remembers the taste of those pills. They were bitter and astringent, so bitter that it made his hair curl, and so astringent that it made his intestines knot.

A few days later, he was taken away by Yao Budu. It is said that Yao Budu took all the blame, claiming that he ordered Changsun Zijun to go to the back mountain to help him collect herbs, which caused Changsun Zijun, who was not familiar with the road, to enter the forbidden area by mistake. Because he did not deliberately violate the rules of the sect, he sacrificed his hundred years of cultivation as a punishment, exempting Changsun Zijun from all punishment. From then on, Changsun Zijun became a disciple of Yaoge.

His mind suddenly jumped out of his memories, and the eldest grandson Jun broke out of his trance and returned to reality. He opened his eyes in confusion: "Hmm?"

Yao Budu sat opposite him with a strange expression: "This is the first time I've seen this kind of situation."

Yi Xichen was anxious: "Master, what happened to Zijun?"

Yao Budu stroked his goatee and said, "I entered his sea of ​​consciousness to look at the past. What I could see was fine, but the problem was that many places were blurry and unclear. I tried to force my way in, but I entered a bizarre realm, as if... as if..."

"As if what?"

"It's as if it's not in this nine thousand worlds, but another completely new world."

This answer made the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen look at each other in bewilderment. The Nine Thousand Worlds are boundless, and include everything from heaven to earth, humans, gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters. Is there a world beyond the Nine Thousand Worlds?

"This doesn't seem like you've been infected by miasma." Yao Bu Du said, "Some of the hallucinations you're having may come from mysterious forces outside the Nine Thousand Worlds, which are unheard of and unseen."

Yao Budu asked the eldest grandson Zijun some questions about cognition. Yi Xichen stared at him from the side. Under his sharp eyes, the eldest grandson Zijun could not mention the things between them. However, the key difference lies between them. If they avoid this layer, everything else will become a trivial matter that has nothing to do with the pain.

After asking all the questions, Yao Bu Du stroked his goatee and said, "You do have some delusions, but you still remember who you are and recognize who everyone else is. It seems that the problem is not too serious. Anyway, I will give you some medicine to refresh your mind. You should take the appropriate amount every day and you should gradually get better."

When he heard that he had to take medicine, the corner of Sun Zijun's mouth twitched again.

——Yao Bu Du was also given a strange skill point in the matter of refining pills. All the pills he refined were of the best effect. As for the taste… the Ten-fold Great Tonic Pill tasted like bitter melon, coptis root and snake gall, the Qi-boosting Pill tasted like socks worn by sweaty feet, and the Mind-replenishing Pill tasted like the belly button of someone who hadn’t taken a bath for ten years…

The eldest grandson Jun will never forget the suffering he went through when he was imprisoned in a dungeon for breaking into a restricted area. It was not the pain that brought him pain, but the medicine that was not poisonous.

Yao Bu Du pushed two pills in front of his eldest grandson, Jun, and said, "Take them quickly."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, evaded the question: "I'd better go back and eat..."

Yao Bu Du glared and said, "Take it quickly! If this medicine works, take it first. If not, I will make another medicine for you."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, could not disobey his master's order, so he pinched his nose and forced himself to swallow the two pills. The smooth taste rolled through his throat, and soon a strong taste came up, opening up every pore in his body.

Yi Xichen leaned over to his ear and whispered, "What does today's medicine taste like?"

The eldest grandson, Jun, said with a straight face, "It's the smell of menstruation."

Yi Xichen almost burst out laughing, but he suppressed his laughter: "Hey, how do you know what menstruation smells like?"

The eldest grandson, Jun, looked at him as if it was a matter of course and said, "Because you have your period every month."

Yi Xichen: "..." Can I hit someone? Ah? Let's have a fight! How can I live like this? !

Yao Bu Du asked expectantly, "How is this medicine?"

Sometimes the poor disciples didn't know whether Medicine Elder really didn't know that the medicine he brewed had a refreshing effect or was deliberately torturing people. Every time he brewed a medicine, he would have people praise him. He couldn't praise anything else but praise that it was delicious, melted in the mouth, sweet and delicious, and had an endless aftertaste. As long as he said that, Medicine Elder would immediately smile with joy.

The eldest grandson Zijun suppressed his nausea and complimented him a few words. Yao Budu was delighted and filled a bag with pills and gave it to Yi Xichen. He told him to watch over the eldest grandson Zijun while he took the pills after he returned home, and then sent the two of them out of the pharmacy.

After a day of hard work, it was already dusk. As the sky was getting darker, the disciples hurried back to their rooms to rest. The eldest grandson Zijun followed behind Yi Xichen and walked slowly towards the disciples' room. Both of them were silent.

"Zijun..." Yi Xichen suddenly called his name.

"Um?"

"Feel sorry……"

Although Yi Xichen looked heartless, he had been feeling guilty and uneasy since he found out about the abnormality of his eldest grandson Jun. The eldest grandson Jun was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After they became friends, although he always followed behind the eldest grandson Jun, in fact, the eldest grandson Jun paid more than him.

Tianjian Sect distributes some spiritual stones and immortal materials to its disciples every month, but the amount of spiritual stones and immortal materials given to disciples in different pavilions is different. As disciples of the Medicine Pavilion, they have to bear more chores than others, but the spiritual stones and immortal materials they get are pitifully few. They can only get a bunch of exotic flowers and herbs that they don't know what they can be used for. Therefore, Yi Xichen gradually embarked on unorthodox ways and studied various small magic methods. But no matter how frugal they are, cultivation still requires a lot of immortal materials to assist, and disciples even have to make their own weapons. In order to get more immortal materials and magic weapons, Yi Xichen often drags his eldest grandson Jun to accompany him to the foot of the mountain to compete, gamble, or enter some more dangerous places. As long as he asks, no matter how dangerous the place is, the eldest grandson Jun has never refused.

He didn't think it was a big deal before, they were best friends, they should share the good and bad times. But now his eldest grandson Jun was in trouble, and he was helpless. He firmly believed that the incident was caused by him dragging his eldest grandson Jun to accompany him into the miasma forest last night, and this feeling made him feel ashamed.

"Zijun." Yi Xichen turned around and stared into the eyes of his eldest grandson Zijun. "No matter what, I...I will find a way to cure you."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, nodded. To be honest, he had no memory of such a simple thing as accompanying Yi Xichen to explore the miasma forest, nor did he think that this matter was caused by Yi Xichen, but the gap between ideal and reality did make him still confused.

"Just tell me what you want to say. No matter what you say, I won't be angry. I will correct you patiently. After all, I am the one who is holding you back..."

The eldest grandson, Jun, nodded again. The sun was about to set below the horizon, and he didn't want to stand in the wind and talk, so he urged, "Come inside."

"good……"

Yi Xichen reluctantly pushed open the door and was about to say goodbye to his eldest grandson Zijun. When he turned around, he saw his eldest grandson Zijun following him in.

Yi Xichen: "...Do you have anything else to say?"

The eldest grandson Zijun looked at him in confusion, took off his outer robe and threw it on the bed.

Yi Xichen: “…”

Before his eldest grandson Zijun took off his coat, shoes and socks and was about to undo his hair and go to bed, Yi Xichen finally stopped him. Yi Xichen asked uncertainly, "Zijun, this is my room, are you going to sleep here tonight?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was stunned: "Otherwise?"

Yi Xichen took a deep breath, counted on his fingers and said tactfully: "You know... that... child... is your illusion... so... do you understand... we... are like this..."

The eldest grandson, Jun, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant. He jumped up as if struck by lightning: "So eight years ago, not only were you not pregnant, but your virginity was also intact?!"

Yi Xichen almost hit his head against the bed. What the hell is this thing called virgin membrane? ! What kind of monster is he in the eyes of his eldest grandson Jun? ! Can he take back what he just said about not being angry? It's really going to piss me off!!!
