‘Just what cultivation does this person have?’
After wiping down the person’s body and putting some clean clothes on him, the young man stood in the room and thought to himself.
This issue was quite important.
He had a serious problem, which was that he could not internalize spirit qi, meaning that he could not cultivate.
From the information he had gathered over the years, it seemed that ordinary cultivators would not be able to solve this problem for him.
The only person who could do this was an incredibly powerful cultivator.
If this person’s cultivation was not high enough, he would not be able to help him.
Moreover, even if he could help him, that person might not necessarily be willing to.
After all, he did not have the right to ask that person to help him.
To a person of this level, the so-called grace of saving his life was just a joke.
Putting aside what that person was like, from the vitality he had demonstrated, even if the young man had not brought him back, he most likely would not die.
Even if that person had a decent personality and was willing to reward him, he most likely would just give him some items.
Whether or not that person would help him step onto the path of cultivation was something that the young man was not sure of.
Thinking to there, he could not help but sigh.
In this world, those who were weak often felt quite frustrated.
No matter what they did, they had to hope for the good graces of others.
However, he had no other choice right now.
Over the past few years, he had tried many things. It could be said that anything that could be imagined, he had already tried, but all of those things had led to even more despair and disappointment.
Now, this person was his only hope.
Thinking to there, he shook his head and looked at the person on the bed deeply before turning and leaving.
Following this, he headed elsewhere to gather some information.
Before leaving, he told his little sister earnestly not to allow anyone in nor to tell anyone about that person.
After going out, the young man found that this area had become quite bustling.
Many people had seen those signs from before, and even many Enlightened Masters began to move out as a result.
Those people came near here and looked about, wanting to find the source of those signs.
Many people had seen a person falling from the sky into a forest.
As such, many people headed to that forest to search.
The young man pretended as if he did not know anything and asked around what was going on.
“Has anyone found that senior?” he asked out of curiosity.
“If he has been found, things would not be like this right now,” another person chuckled before saying, “But it’s said that many people found some blood trails.
“That senior was heavily injured so he most likely found a place to hide and recover. As such, those people did not find anything but some spirit blood.”
On the side, someone else jumped in, “That’s enough though. That spirit blood is no ordinary thing.
“I don’t know what cultivation that senior has, but the blood he has is incredibly precious spirit blood. It’s said that even a single drop of blood can compare to spirit medicines after being refined. Some people guess that the senior is a higher being.”
‘A higher being?’
The young man’s heart thumped but his expression did not change.
“No way, why would a higher being come to a place like this?” He asked as he laughed.
This was an incredibly desolate place, and the spirit qi here was very thin.
No one in their right mind would be willing to come here.
The person from before shook his head, “Who knows? Maybe he has his own special reasons. Apart from that senior, who else would know?”
He paused before saying with a look of admiration on his face, “That spirit blood is real good though, and it’s said that some people have already started selling it. A single drop of spirit blood is worth three spirit stones.”
“One drop of spirit blood for three spirit stones…” Hearing this, the young man was stunned and thought to the blood he had seen.
Back in the forest, he had been focused on finding that senior and ignored the blood.
Now that he thought of it, how could the blood from a powerful senior be anything ordinary?
He had wasted an opportunity.
Moreover, after he had cleaned up that person, he had been afraid that others would discover the blood, so he had gotten rid of it.
Now that he thought of it, those were all spirit stones…
Thinking about that, the young man’s mouth twitched, and he felt a bit regretful.
If he knew earlier, he should have sold that blood for spirit stones.
The person in front of him sighed and said, “A single drop of blood can rival spirit medicines; I wonder just what kind of figure this senior is. If I could become that person’s disciple, that would be great.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” the young man nodded.
He continued to walk about and gather more information.
What he heard was all the same: No one had found anything, and the only gains that people had made was the spirit blood.
Some people guessed that the senior had left already, while others said that someone had found the senior and was hiding him.
There were all kinds of guesses, but no one had any evidence.
After going around and seeing that no one suspected him, the young man felt quite at ease.
After walking around, he bought some food before returning home.
Within the room, the person was still lying on the bed with a pale face, looking incredibly weak.
The young man roughly examined him and found that he was still breathing, and his blood was still circulating.
This meant that this person was still alive but was just unconscious because of his injuries.
After sighing, the young man began to make food.
As a transmigrator, his cooking skills were quite good. It was just that he was limited by his tools and ingredients and could not make anything amazing.
Thinking of the senior lying in the room, he made some porridge and prepared to bring it over.
Even though this senior did not even need to eat anymore, it was still something he should do.
That way, after this person woke up, perhaps he would treat him more favorably.
However, he was surprised to see that that person had already woken up when he returned to the room.
Sitting on the bed, Chen Heng struggled to get up and looked out the door.
There, the young man was holding a bowl of porridge.
Looking at Chen Heng, who had woken up, he looked a bit surprised and stood there dumbly.
However, he quickly came to his senses and immediately knelt and kowtowed.
“I pay my respects to senior,” he said with a look of reverence.
After coming to this world for ten or so years, his pride and arrogance as a transmigrator had been stamped out.
In this world, he had seen far too many wretched things and knew his position clearly.
Compared to those higher beings, mortals like him were like ants. If they dared to show any disrespect, these seniors would not hesitate to kill them.
Facing someone like this, there was no such thing as being too respectful.
Seeing the young man acting like this, Chen Heng felt a bit surprised.
Following this, he also felt quite startled.
Right after waking up, his strength was incredibly weak. Not only was his body on the verge of collapse, but even his soul was injured.
However, he still had his Fortune Mark and could see things that others could not.
This young man had average looks and could only be said to be a bit good looking.
He wore an ordinary gray robe and only seemed quite mature.
However, in Chen Heng’s eyes, things were not that simple.
There was a faint golden Fortune above that young man’s head, and within that golden Fortune, there was a bit of violet that gave off a dignified and noble power.
Seeing this scene, Chen Heng felt quite stunned.
This was undoubtedly Fortune, and incredibly dense Fortune at that.
That violet Fortune was higher level than even Chen Heng’s Fortune back then; there was a massive gap between them.
This was someone with incredibly great and vast Fortune.
At this moment, the young man’s Fortune had already started burning and was gradually spreading out.
Seeing this, a searing hot feeling came from the Fortune Mark.
Following this, Chen Heng’s vision once again changed.
Ahead, the young man’s Fortune was breaking out and formless ripples spread out. When they reached Chen Heng’s body, they wrapped around his fate and brought it into the young man’s Fortune.
Seeing this scene, Chen Heng’s expression did not change and he deeply looked at the young man.
Now, he understood why he had appeared here.
This young man’s Fortune was simply too great, and once it broke out, it instinctively affected his surroundings.
The reason why Chen Heng had appeared here was most likely due to the influence of this person’s Fortune.
In a sense, for Chen Heng to appear here and to be found by this young man was inevitable.
After all, from how vast this person’s Fortune was, once Chen Heng, someone who represented massive opportunity, appeared, he would definitely be caught onto by this person.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and understood why he had appeared here.
In front of him, the young man felt incredibly nervous.
He knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to look at Chen Heng.
The longer Chen Heng did not speak, the more nervous he felt.
However, after a while, Chen Heng’s voice sounded out.
“You may get up,” Chen Heng said softly as he smiled.
His voice was gentle and had a warmth to it.
Hearing his words, the young man felt much more at ease.
No matter if this person was pretending or was actually like this, it seemed that the person was willing to talk with him and did not see him as an ant.
This was the best case scenario for him.
“Where is this?” Chen Heng lay back down on the bed and asked with a pale face.
“This is the Desolate Region,” the young man said with a respectful look.
“Desolate Region?” Chen Heng nodded with a calm expression. He then continued, “Tell me about some of the recent big events here.”
“Recent big events?”
The young man thought before answering.
He told Chen Heng about all of the big events that had happened recently, and he could not help but look at Chen Heng.
In actuality, the biggest thing that had happened here recently was Chen Heng descending here.
From what the young man said, Chen Heng knew that he had caused much noise when he had come here. However, he did not care much.
‘Desolate Region?’ he looked down and thought to himself.
The young man had told him what kind of place the Desolate Region was.
It was a place for exiling cultivators, and most people here used to be cultivators or the descendants of cultivators.
This was an incredibly remote and desolate place.
However, Chen Heng descending here could be said to be a good thing—at the very least, he didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the higher beings of this world.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and waved his hand and took out some things, “From how things seem, I’ll be staying here for some time.
“This will be my rent,” Chen Heng said softly as he gave those things over.
They were a few bottles of medicinal pills; they were not anything special and were only some ordinary spirit pills.
However, even though they were not much to Chen Heng, to this young man, they were exactly what he needed.
With Chen Heng’s experience, he could naturally see through this boy.
Putting aside Fortune, this young man’s body was very powerful, but he did not have any cultivation.
As such, giving him these low-grade spirit pills were quite appropriate.
“Not at all, not at all,” the young man said respectfully. Looking at the bottles of spirit pills, a look of delight appeared on his face.
Following this, he walked out of the room so Chen Heng could rest peacefully.
After walking out of the room, the young man hurriedly opened the bottles and had a look.
After opening the bottles, spirit qi wafted out, bringing with it a unique fragrance.
Smelling this and sensing the spirit qi contained within, the young man felt exhilarated.
“They’re all high-grade spirit pills,” he thought to himself.
The reason why the Desolate Region was named so was because there was little to no spirit qi here.
In such a place, spirit grasses could not grow, and it was incredibly difficult to cultivate.
As such, precious spirit stones and spirit pills were even more precious, and they were incredibly expensive.
For a mortal like this young man, even if he sold his life, he would not be able to obtain a single spirit stone.
And yet, he had obtained so many spirit pills so easily.
The young man knew that if he brought out these spirit pills, he would be killed and plundered by countless people.
On the other hand, that person had casually given these out to him.
He was definitely a great figure.
If he could hang on to this person, his gains in future would be evident.
“It’s a pity…” Looking at these spirit pills, a slightly bitter expression appeared on his face.
So what if he had these spirit pills? With his constitution, no matter how many spirit pills he absorbed, he would not be able to internalize them.
As such, rather than giving them to him, it was better to give them to someone else.
Thinking about that, he sighed and looked to the side.
There, the young girl was sitting in front of a little wooden table, peacefully eating porridge.
Seeing the young man look over, she smiled, looking quite cute.
The young man could not help but pat her head and smile as well.
After transmigrating from his original world to this world, his parents had died when he was very young, leaving him to roam about by himself.
This young girl was an orphan he had picked up, and he had raised her himself; she was essentially his child.
However, she was different to him.
This girl’s talent was quite good, and even though he did not know just how good it was, it was definitely better than some so-called geniuses.
It would be a waste for him to use these spirit pills, so he might as well give them to her.
Thinking to there, he smiled before sitting next to the young girl and began to eat as well.
Within the room, Chen Heng sat on the bed and examined himself.
The results were not good.
Even though he had barely survived passing through the passageway, he had paid a terrible price.
His body’s current situation was simply terrifying.
