Chapter 295 Miscellaneous Matters of Medicine Peak 2
On the roof of Gongshi Hall, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. The senior brothers and sisters of Yaofeng were just too enthusiastic!
Senior Sister Yingyue and the others haven't arrived yet. Could something have delayed them?
Cheng Jiu pondered to himself.
Because the commotion she had just caused had not yet subsided, the disciples below were led into a conversation by Cheng Jiu about the people Cheng Jiu had initially paid attention to.
From these few words, Cheng Jiu roughly pieced together the whole story. No wonder the disciples of Medicine Peak looked down on that guy; they were all people of strong character and naturally couldn't stand the disciple's behavior.
In short, he's an ingrate!
The male disciple and the Senior Sister Li mentioned by the Medicine Peak disciple came from the same small village.
If you were to ask if the two of them had any connection, they did. Senior Sister Li's parents only had her as their child, and naturally they doted on their only daughter.
However, their village was too remote, and such remoteness naturally breeds ignorance.
The cultivation world doesn't discriminate as severely as the mortal world, but because they only have one daughter, Senior Sister Li's parents are very worried about her future.
Fortunately, Sister Li's father was a skilled carpenter, and his carpentry skills were extremely famous in their village, so they lived a good life.
As for that male disciple, his background was very tragic. His father was a hunter who liked to drink, so his family couldn't save much money. However, he was a good hunter and his family was still relatively well-off.
However, the male disciple was born with a weak constitution and had to take medicine from a young age, making him a "medicine addict." But his father was a hunter and could still afford to pay for his medicine.
But fate is unpredictable; one day, his father went hunting and never returned.
It was already a corpse when it was discovered.
His father was a heavy drinker, and the family had little money left. Without the breadwinner, and with his mother not being particularly strong, she was taken back by her own family and remarried, leaving him alone on the mountain.
A child who was also a sickly child, what survival skills could he have? When a kind woodcutter came up the mountain, he found the child unconscious from hunger at home, so he took him down to the village.
No one in the village wanted to take on this hot potato, so they went to Sister Li's house for help.
At first, Li's parents thought of adopting the child, whether as Li's future childhood sweetheart or as her adopted brother, so that Li would have someone to rely on.
So the male disciple stayed at Sister Li's house. Sister Li's family treated him well. Although the overall treatment was not as good as that of their own daughter, he still had to pay a large sum of money for medicine every year. Sister Li's family had no complaints.
Sister Li was extremely lucky. Once, her father received a large order from a big city. It was probably because the people in the big city had heard of Sister Li's father's skills that they specially covered the travel expenses.
Sister Li's father thought it was a rare opportunity to go to a big city, so he wanted to take his daughter there to broaden her horizons and maybe even try to get some alms.
As fate would have it, the Guiyuan Sect happened to come to this city to recruit disciples, and Senior Sister Li, with her talent, successfully transformed herself from a peasant girl into a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect.
Since Senior Sister Li has already cultivated immortality, the marriage arrangement she made with that male disciple in the beginning can be dropped.
If they had no other choice, they wouldn't want their daughter to marry a sickly man.
Having raised a dog for so long, even a dog would have developed a bond. So, Li's parents discussed having the male disciple recognize them as godparents. Although they were only godparents, they had still paid respects at the ancestral hall and had been raised by him. They believed that Li's parents would take care of him when he got old.
Senior Sister Li is quite talented, and also has a knack for alchemy. She is quite successful in the Guiyuan Sect.
When the male disciple returned home to visit his family after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, he had a sudden idea and begged Senior Sister Li to take him to the Guiyuan Sect. Senior Sister Li helped him test his spiritual roots, and he barely met the Guiyuan Sect's admission standards.
He was her godparent, which is practically her younger brother. Senior Sister Li's parents were good people. Although they initially intended for this male disciple to take care of them in their old age, they didn't stop him from climbing the social ladder when they saw he had the opportunity.
So Senior Sister Li took this disciple back to Guiyuan Sect, tested his aptitude, and spent a lot of money to ask an outer sect elder for help, which finally made this male disciple an inconspicuous menial disciple of Guiyuan Sect.
Afterwards, this male disciple continued to use Senior Sister Li's name and, with his talent for alchemy, managed to infiltrate the Medicine Peak.
Because Senior Sister Li was on duty at Gongshi Hall, she inevitably took extra care of him, and he lived a relatively comfortable life among the junior disciples of Medicine Peak.
Don't underestimate those one or two points. As mentioned before, Medicine Peak points are very valuable, and they are a considerable resource for junior disciples at the bottom.
It was Senior Sister Li who took care of this adopted younger brother. Sometimes, this male disciple would even help other disciples submit pills to exchange for contribution points, and the contribution points he exchanged for were always higher than those of the other disciples.
They only stopped when they went too far and were warned by Senior Sister Li.
The incident occurred after Senior Sister Li had been having nightmares for a month straight. It is highly unusual for a cultivator to have nightmares, and it must be an omen of something bad.
Sister Li felt flustered and short of breath, so she spent a lot of money to hire a senior sister who was good at dream interpretation to help her interpret her dream.
According to the senior sister who was skilled in dream interpretation, her parents were about to suffer a great calamity, and as their daughter, all three of them were blessed with good fortune, so Senior Sister Li received the warning.
Senior Sister Li wanted to go home to find her parents, but was stopped by that other senior sister. This was a calamity for Senior Sister Li's parents, and it was difficult to change, even for their daughter.
If Senior Sister Li goes back, this calamity will likely befall her parents sooner.
After hearing what that senior sister said, Senior Sister Li was devastated. She had a very deep relationship with her parents.
The feeling of knowing her parents were about to face a terrible calamity, and that she, as their daughter, could do nothing about it, almost broke her.
In an effort to alleviate the disaster, Sister Li gave up most of her wealth, hoping that other sister could help her calculate a glimmer of hope for survival.
After spending more than half a month, that senior sister successfully grasped a glimmer of hope amidst all the life-threatening situations.
They also observed the calamity that befell Sister Li's parents.
Two weeks later, the village where Sister Li's parents live will be hit by an unprecedented flash flood, and no one in the village will escape.
The calamity of death is hard to avert, but the chance of life remains. To resolve this calamity, one must deceive the will of Heaven.
Senior Sister Li cannot go back; if she does, the flash flood will likely arrive prematurely.
Therefore, she could only ask someone else to rescue her parents and save them from their impending doom.
She had made ample preparations to resolve the issue with Senior Sister Li, including preparing elixirs and magical artifacts, but she still struggled to choose the right person.
It should be said that the more you care about something, the more likely it is to cause trouble. And since it concerns the lives of her parents, Senior Sister Li really doesn't trust anyone else to handle it casually.
Few of her senior classmates knew her birth village. Even if she was given the exact location, could she arrive at the designated time?
After much deliberation, Senior Sister Li finally set her sights on the male disciples.
First, the male disciple recognized her parents as his godparents. If it weren't for her parents' kindness in adopting her back then, it's uncertain whether she would still be alive today. This is a life-saving grace! That's the first reason!
In addition, her parents had raised him!
If it weren't for her parents pleading for her, Senior Sister Li wouldn't have brought this male disciple back to Yuanzong. This is an act of kindness!
Finally, there's the care that Senior Sister Li has shown this male disciple over the years. Although they are godparents, in Senior Sister Li's eyes, they are no different from real siblings.
Given all these reasons, Senior Sister Li had no reason not to choose him.
This matter was too important, and only one person could be chosen. After much consideration, Senior Sister Li finally entrusted the lives of her parents to him.
Before leaving, Senior Sister Li spent all her savings to exchange for a lot of pills, and she even went to the Weapon Peak to ask for a defensive magic weapon by asking for favors.
It can be said that they made ample preparations before sending the male disciple away.
result!
The male disciple did indeed convey the news of the flash flood to the village. It was on the day the flash flood arrived that the male disciple was able to save Senior Sister Li's parents and the villagers if he had followed Senior Sister Li's instructions.
According to the news, Li's cousins were picking fruit in the mountains and had not yet come down. At the urging of Li's uncles and aunts, the male disciple, claiming to repay their kindness, abandoned Li's parents and went up the mountain to rescue them, leaving behind no defensive magic items.
And they didn't tell Li's parents that this flash flood was a fatal disaster for them!
A flash flood struck, and Li Shijie's parents, two kind-hearted people, were caught off guard and perished in the flood while trying to protect the villagers!
A flash flood would have claimed the lives of everyone in the village, but only two people died.
When news of her parents' deaths arrived, Senior Sister Li nearly collapsed on the spot. That's it.
The male disciple also made some hurtful remarks, saying that Senior Sister Li had tried to interfere with karma, which led to the deaths of her parents. He also said that if it weren't for her parents' deaths, the villagers wouldn't have suffered such a calamity.
In the end, he showed no regret for his actions, saying that Li's parents had only adopted him to take advantage of him.
Only Li Shijie's uncle and aunt truly cared for him and were the ones who genuinely adopted him; he never regretted it!
He never intended to marry Senior Sister Li from the beginning. He had always been in love with Senior Sister Li's cousin. It was only because Senior Sister Li's parents used their kindness to control him!
In any case, he did nothing wrong!
Senior Sister Li couldn't hear what he said after that, but his shameless words were heard by the disciples of Medicine Peak who came to find her.
I almost threw up from his shameless remarks.
The death of her parents, the misplaced trust she had placed in the wrong person, and the male disciple's hurtful words nearly caused Senior Sister Li's Dao heart to collapse.
It was the disciples who came looking for her who saved Senior Sister Li in time.
The senior sister who had helped Senior Sister Li divine the secrets of heaven fiercely refuted the other party in front of all the disciples of Medicine Peak, tearing off the other party's hypocritical face and letting the disciples of Medicine Peak watch.
That should have been a fatal calamity for the entire village; fate had been ordained and could not be changed.
But Sister Li, through her filial piety, successfully discerned the secret of heaven, and rescuing the villagers was merely a convenient way to rescue her parents.
However, the secret that Senior Sister Li grasped to save her parents was just one of countless possibilities, and the price to save her life was heavy.
If they did not seize this chance of survival, they would die. After the male disciple arrived at the village, he told the villagers about the whole story.
All the cause and effect should fall on Senior Sister Li's parents. If he had followed Senior Sister Li's instructions, Senior Sister Li's parents would not have died.
But he saved others, abandoning Senior Sister Li's parents, and his death came true!
Finally, the senior sister, in an extremely sharp tone, shattered all the pretense and asked the male disciple if the siblings would really be in danger if he didn't go to save them.
The male disciple remained silent, afraid to speak. He dared not say that when the siblings were found, they had luckily fallen into a dark valley in the mountains, unaffected by the flash flood and without any danger to their lives.
He dared not say that he hadn't returned in time to rescue his adoptive parents because he wanted to stay with his first love.
He blamed everything on Senior Sister Li.
If it weren't for the rule that disciples of the sect cannot kill each other, Senior Sister Li would have loved to tear this ungrateful bastard to pieces!
His reputation plummeted as a result, even though he was only able to gain a foothold in Medicine Peak because of Senior Sister Li.
Because of these events, everyone saw through his character, and the ungrateful fellow was naturally ostracized by everyone in Yaofeng.
Senior Sister Li has gone back to her village to observe mourning. The disciples who have received kindness from Senior Sister Li will not let this ungrateful fellow get away with it.
The matter of Gong Shitang is just the appetizer. After this, he will find it difficult to move an inch in the sect. If he makes a mistake, he will be reported by the disciples and expelled from Guiyuan Sect!
The proverb "A small favor can breed resentment, a large favor can breed hatred" has become a concrete example of this.
"Junior sister! No one is allowed to stand on the roof of the main hall of Gongshi Hall!" A clear voice rang in Cheng Jiu's ears.
Cheng Jiu's heart skipped a beat before he saw An Qi, who was wearing a green robe: "So it's Senior Brother An Qi!"
"Yes!" An Qi nodded, "I heard that Junior Sister's cultivation has broken through. As her senior brother, I haven't congratulated you yet!"
"No need, no need!" Cheng Jiu waved his hand with a smile.
"It's time to go down!"
"How did you know I was here, senior brother?"
Cheng Jiu did not refute, and obediently followed An Qi downstairs.
“The elders discovered you were on the roof of the main hall early this morning! But since they found out it was you, they didn’t know what to do! So they specifically reported it to me!”
An Qi seemed a bit tired as he talked about this. There were too many things to do at the peak, so his visit was a good rest for him!
"Oh! I see!" Cheng Jiu nodded somewhat awkwardly. Well, she had also enjoyed the privileges of the privileged class in a unique way.
Even the ordinary elders didn't know what to do with her!
Although this is nothing to be proud of.
"Junior Sister, is there something you need at Medicine Peak?"
"I came here initially to exchange for some pills!"
"The pills are ready!"
An Qi knew that Cheng Jiu's exchanges were large in quantity and of high quality, so he would definitely report them to him.
“I’m still waiting for Senior Sister Ying! She and Senior Brother Wen haven’t arrived yet. We have a mission with Senior Brother Qin,” Cheng Jiu said.
"Is that so? Then you don't need to wait! Just go to your Senior Sister Ying's courtyard!"
"What happened?"
"The alchemy room that Little Thirty-Seven rented has exploded!"
Anqi's tone was very calm!
"Senior Brother Wen, are you alright?"
"He's tough, he'll be fine!"
An Qi pulled Cheng Jiu along and pointed to a distant fire vein that was smoldering fiercely: "Something's happened there!"
Following the direction An Qi pointed, Cheng Jiu saw that a perfectly good fire vein had been blasted to shreds, and even the entire alchemy room along the fire vein was not spared.
What exactly did Senior Brother Wen do? Such power!
Cheng Jiu looked at the calm An Qi. So calm, he probably really had no other choice!
Meeting Cheng Jiu's gaze, An Qi smiled slightly: "If you want compensation, don't even think about leaving the sect until the self-criticism is written and the compensation is paid!"
