"What's wrong, what's wrong with Lu Huanong?" asked Ling Zhenfei.
Chen Qian's voice was very agitated as he said, "I just received the news that our junior sister has fainted. Her condition is very weak now, and I feel that her body definitely can't hold on any longer."
Ling Zhenfei was startled in his heart; his suspicions were proving true, as he knew Lu Huanong's physical state. Based on his analysis, she had already reached the end of her strength.
It seems Lu Huanong might really not be able to hold on anymore.
Thinking of Lu Huanong's delicate appearance, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He had once promised Lu Huanong that he would definitely cure her.
But who could have thought that originally, he planned to find Rejuvenation Grass with the help of the newly opened mountain. However, this ti, shortly after the new year, Lu Huanong's condition couldn't hold up anymore.
Ling Zhenfei said to Chen Qian, "So what do you plan to do now?"
Chen Qian said, "I plan to go back now. Do you want to co with ? Our junior sister really wants to see you. She reminded when I returned for the new year that you must visit her on her birthday."
Ling Zhenfei was slightly stunned and said, "Lu Huanong really reminded the last ti she saw to visit her on her birthday. Does she value her birthday that much?"
Chen Qian said, "Of course. Among us senior brothers, it's the only ti of year we can see each other, and sotis not even everyone can co. But seeing her senior brothers should make her extrely happy.
Since our junior sister told you that, it ans she doesn't see you as an outsider. At least in her heart, your position is the sa as us senior brothers."
Ling Zhenfei felt slightly touched, and his determination grew stronger. No matter when, he must find a way to cure Lu Huanong's illness.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You go back. I can't return now. I need to make a trip to Xianling Mountain and bring back the Rejuvenation Grass."
Chen Qian was slightly surprised and said, "Now that our junior sister is ill, wouldn't it be better to see her now? You might co back too late from Xianling Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei interrupted, "That's impossible. Since Lu Huanong has always emphasized for to visit on her birthday, she surely can hold on until her birthday.
She's a sage, definitely able to predict her fate. Maybe her birthday is indeed the last day. There's still a few days until then. I must strive to bring back the Rejuvenation Grass before that."
Chen Qian said, "But are you sure? Xianling Mountain is currently snow-blocked. You know the situation there better than I do; the snow can bury people."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "It doesn't matter. For Lu Huanong, I must try no matter what."
Chen Qian said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you then. Hopefully, you can truly bring out the Rejuvenation Grass and bring hope to Lu Huanong."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry. When you get to Lu Huanong, make sure to comfort her and tell her I'll be there soon. She must wait for ."
"Alright, we should act separately."
The two hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei was very anxious. There were only a few days left until Lu Huanong's birthday. Based on experience, coming out of Xianling Mountain takes at most three days.
So the ti is ample, but there's another problem. After coming out, there's still the journey to the Capital City, and more importantly, the formulation of the life-extending pill.
He was very worried. After obtaining the Rejuvenation Grass, would he really succeed the first ti? He still rembered that heavenly retribution in Lu Huanong's courtyard.
The heavens seed intent on Lu Huanong's demise; they even interfered with the elixir formulation process. It showed just how remarkable she was.
Once Ling Zhenfei thought everything through, he decided he should carefully plan his schedule for the upcoming days.
Ling Zhenfei pondered a bit, then prepared so food and packed them, heading towards Xi Shan.
The snow on the mountain hadn't lted yet, making it extrely difficult to walk. This initial section was the easiest because there were constructions being built above, so wooden pathways were laid.
After passing through this section, there were no pathways. Ling Zhenfei could only use Northern Spiritual Energy to tread on the snow. Any other person would've been stuck in the snow unable to get out.
But Ling Zhenfei rely left small footprints in the snow as he walked.
Ling Zhenfei quickly crossed Xi Shan and entered Xianling Mountain's domain, soon finding that cliff.
Yes, Ling Zhenfei had co this ti specifically to find that peculiar person.
After locating the cliff, Ling Zhenfei lightly jumped down to the cave entrance and walked inside.
A cold wind shot towards Ling Zhenfei; he knew this was the elder's usual trick, the simplest defense.
Ling Zhenfei easily dodged the cold wind and entered the cave.
"Senior, it's ."
Entering the cave, sure enough, the elder was still sitting there, motionless, practicing cultivation.
Ling Zhenfei placed the items on the table and said, "Stop pretending you don't know I'm here."
This ti the elder opened his eyes and glanced at Ling Zhenfei, asking, "What are you here for?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "What are you talking about? I'm here to visit you and bring you so good food. The year had just ended; although I didn't celebrate much, whenever I had ti I ca to bring you things."
The elder snorted coldly, "You have such good intentions. Who knows what the hell you are up to. I'm warning you; I have nothing to give you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Look at you. I'm not that greedy. I really just ca to bring you food."
Ling Zhenfei walked to the elder's side and said, "You still can't move, right? Let help you."
After saying that, Ling Zhenfei took out his Silver Needle, and like last ti, used it to help the elder's arm recover; other parts didn't matter as long as his hand and mouth could move.
After temporarily restoring the blood ridians in the elder's arm, the elder said, "Kid, impressive, you're impressive. Your knowledge in dical Arts is really sothing. Who taught you?"
"Self-taught. Why do you ask so much? As long as I can help you, that's enough. Now eat quickly."
Ling Zhenfei laid out the food in front of the elder. Due to his hurried visit, he hadn't prepared in advance, but rural hos never lack big fish and at during New Year.
Ling Zhenfei's family lacked none of these things, many were gifts from the villagers.
Though rural folks aren't wealthy, Qinghe Village is different. Under Ling Zhenfei's leadership, their villagers' per capita inco matches that of cities, so the New Year was celebrated well.
Rural folks know the importance of gratitude, hence every family sent things to Ling Zhenfei's ho. His fridge and freezer were practically full.
