The Liu family owns a vast area in Jitong, mainly because farming is their main industry, and they have a lot of spiritual fields.
Even when Shi Xuan and the others were still far away in the air, they could see vast stretches of green spiritual fields, which were quite spectacular.
Liu Tan's position in this family is clearly not low; he is the youngest son of the clan leader.
Knowing he was coming back, a group of people came to greet him.
Liu Tan felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at the servant beside him, feeling somewhat annoyed by his tip-off. Now, he felt somewhat powerless in the eyes of Shi Xuan and the others.
Shi Xuan didn't take it to heart. Her main reason for coming here was the Soul Gathering Stone, so it was a good thing to see the clan leader appear. At least she could get acquainted with him.
"Tan'er, you're back." The middle-aged woman at the head of the group appeared to be Liu Tan's mother.
"Is everything alright? Did anything happen? Did you find the master you were looking for to heal Li'er?" Clan Chief Liu Changhai asked.
Liu Tan put away the spirit boat, cupped his hands to Liu Changhai and said, "Father, the master who can heal Li'er has been found and has returned with me. Treatment can begin at any time."
As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing the people behind him.
Liu Tan led Shi Xuan to the main seat and introduced her, "This is the master who can heal Li'er, Fairy Shi Xuan of the Lianfeng Sword Sect."
Liu Changhai frowned almost imperceptibly; this girl didn't look like a master at all.
She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. There are many people in the cultivation world who know how to preserve their youth, so it's not unusual for them to look young. However, her cultivation level was only at the Golden Core stage... This made Liu Changhai very unconvinced. He had already invited the Pill God to take a look, but there was no result. How could a Golden Core stage pill cultivator be like this?
He had heard of Shi Xuan before. She had made a name for herself in the Six Sects Grand Competition and was now a celebrity in the Qian Yuan Western Region. Few cultivators did not know her.
But if she were truly capable, would she need to participate in the Six Sects Grand Competition and compete against those junior disciples? My foolish son has probably been deceived…
Liu Tan could tell what his father was thinking just by looking at his expression, but he didn't explain. There was no point in saying anything now. As long as Li'er was cured, all the problems would be solved.
But his outspoken older brother, Liu Tai, spoke up directly, expressing Liu Changhai's doubts.
"Young man, where did you find this master? You must have been scammed, right? How can I let someone treat me so easily? What if I make things worse?" Liu Tai was already in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and he felt he should show some respect when facing Shi Xuan, who was in the Golden Core stage.
Liu Tan was anxious. His elder brother's temperament had been like this for so many years, causing countless troubles, yet he still didn't know how to change.
Before he could speak, Shi Xuan spoke first, laughing, "I was hired by him at the auction for 23,000 high-grade spirit stones. If you don't want to treat him anymore, these spirit stones are non-refundable."
Liu Tai was greatly shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Tan and said, "Little brother, I don't know who you got your silly side from!"
Liu Changhai, who was standing to the side, coughed and gave his eldest son a disgruntled look.
What kind of talk is this? No one forced him to speak if he can't speak. What do you mean by saying he's like a fool? If you say he's like him, isn't that just calling him stupid? If you say he's like someone else, that's even worse…
"Return the spirit stones, we won't treat her anymore," Liu Tai shouted. This little girl seemed completely unreliable; how could they entrust Li'er to her treatment?
Liu Tan could no longer hold back and stepped forward, saying, "I invited this person here. No one should judge a book by its cover. You've been picking and choosing here today, but have you ever thought about how distressed Li'er is? She can't take it anymore! Even if it's a last resort, we have to try!"
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Liu Li's life has been saved, but her body is weak and her lifespan has been greatly reduced, meaning she can no longer cultivate. Her main problem now is that she seems to have lost the will to live. She seems to feel that even if she lives for another ten or eight years, she can't cultivate, so she's just wasting her life waiting to die. What difference is there between that and dying now?
Liu Tan added, "Moreover, I have already inquired a lot in the Lianfeng Sword Sect area. Master Shi Xuan has already been successfully treated! The person she cured is now working in her shop, and many people saw his miserable state when he was stranded in the black market of rogue cultivators after his dantian was damaged!"
He must have done his homework to say that. Liu Changhai and Liu Tai stopped insisting. Since their youngest son was so determined, as he said, the only option now was to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
The group made concessions. Although they still showed no respect for Shi Xuan, they at least tacitly allowed her to contact Liu Li, though they were followed by a group of people who were worried about her.
Liu Changhai only had one daughter, Liu Li, but he had five sons: Liu Tai, Liu Lin, Liu Zhan, Liu Wei, and Liu Tan. They were arranged in the order of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), which shows how much he cherished this only precious daughter.
Shi Xuan didn't delay and went straight to Liu Li's residence.
She lived alone in the most elegant little building in the entire Liu family estate, and it was clear that the surrounding flowers and plants had been carefully tended. The building had perfect lighting and ventilation, and living here must have been a very pleasant experience.
After seeing Liu Li's residence, Shi Xuan immediately decided that he would renovate her courtyard in the Lianfeng Sword Sect after returning home, so that it would at least be pleasing to the eye.
Liu Li lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and bloodless, her eyes vacant and seemingly without direction. She was clearly a very beautiful girl, but now she looked lifeless, like a young and beautiful body containing a dying soul.
Shi Xuan reached out his hand to her, but Liu Li didn't react at all. She knew her own situation. In the cultivation world, a damaged dantian was equivalent to cutting off the path of cultivation. The worst outcome was death, while the worst outcome was living a few more years in a sickly state. What difference did it make?
The girl on the bed was very weak, so Shi Xuan didn't need to worry about her resistance and directly probed her body with a wisp of divine sense.
It was clear that her dantian and meridians were severely damaged. However, her meridians were gradually healing under the nourishment of various spiritual medicines, while her dantian showed no signs of healing at all. Instead, it was gradually cracking open.
The group of people behind her watched Shi Xuan's actions with concern, afraid that she might do something bad to Liu Li.
Shi Xuan's divine sense could perceive it, and he could also understand the feelings of his loved ones.
Although she encountered disagreements with the father and sons as soon as she arrived, it was clear that the family was very harmonious. Shi Xuan felt that there was no distance between them, and their unconscious body language revealed intimacy.
Shi Xuan was exceptionally patient with such families.
She turned around and said to the large family behind her, "Her condition is treatable, provided you don't interfere."
