Chapter 275: Chapter 244: Treatment _1

Moo!

The brown-haired wild boar opened its large mouth and let out a mournful scream. A bloody mark appeared on its forehead, pierced by a golden light. Its massive body swayed as if drunk, stumbling a few steps before crashing to the ground, all signs of life quickly disappearing.

The golden light that penetrated the wild boar traced an arc as it whistled through the air and returned to the animal skin pouch on the waist of the old man.

The older man dressed in blue was none other than Xu Mu who had come out of the small secret realm, preparing to investigate the surrounding news.

The golden light was nothing more than a tier three flying sword that he had refined at will.

After retrieving his flying sword, Xu Mu turned and walked towards Chen Ying.

Seeing Xu Mu’s miraculous methods, Chen Ying was shocked, but immediately realized that Xu Mu might be the so-called Immortal Master.

He tried to rise to his feet to pay his respects, but Xu Mu held out a hand to stop him.

“Don’t move yet, let me heal you first!”

As he spoke, Xu Mu performed a Healing Skill, a spell that he had not used for a long time.

The green light transformed from the healing spell dropped onto Chen Ying’s body. A warm sensation immediately filled his body. The pain that had felt like a bone ache subsided, and a very comfortable feeling emerged.

In the blink of an eye, he felt no more pain. He moved his body and found that he was fully recovered.

This miraculous act left Chen Ying so amazed that he was speechless for a while. Once he recovered, he quickly fell to his knees to give thanks to Xu Mu for saving his life.

If Xu Mu had not acted, he would have either been killed by the wild boar or starved to death in the wilderness.

“No need to thank me, I just did what I could!”

Xu Mu stroked his beard, portraying the image of a wise and enlightened sage.

“Could the Immortal Master please save my nephew!” Seeing Xu Mu being reasonable, Chen Ying only then remembered Chen Qingshan and immediately begged for help.

“Of course!”

Xu Mu nodded, walked over to the unconscious Chen Qingshan and applied a healing spell, and Chen Qingshan soon woke up.

Although Chen Qingshan’s injuries were much more severe than Chen Ying’s, in Xu Mu’s eyes it didn’t make much difference. With the level of his healing skill, as long as an ordinary person still had a breath left, they could be restored to full health.

Upon waking up and hearing Chen Ying’s explanation, Chen Qingshan immediately gave profuse thanks to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu waved his hand, indicating for both men to get up and speak.

“When I was gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains, I unintentionally took a wrong turn. Could you tell me where this place is?” Xu Mu asked.

“To answer the Immortal Master, this area, spanning around a hundred miles, is called Tiger Head Mountain. About thirty miles to the south is our village and further to the south is Chi Lin Town. A dozen or so towns in the vicinity, including Jing Lin County, are all under the jurisdiction of Chi Zhou Prefecture. I have never been out of Jing Lin County, so I don’t know about places further away.”

Although both of them were puzzled that an Immortal Master like Xu Mu could get lost, they honestly relayed the information they knew.

“I see! Thank you!”

Xu Mu thanked them and turned to leave.

The two were just ordinary mountain folk with limited knowledge, so Xu Mu didn’t ask any more questions. He planned to go to Jing Lin County next, then to Chi Zhou Prefecture.

Seeing Xu Mu about to leave, Chen Qingshan hesitated for a moment, clenched his teeth and followed. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might not have another chance.

Chen Ying was thinking of holding Chen Qingshan back, but he ultimately could not bring himself to do it.

He knew what Chen Qingshan wanted to do, and feared the consequences of angering Xu Mu, but considering Chen Qingshan’s feelings, he couldn’t muster the courage to stop him.

Let’s just hope this Immortal Master doesn’t get angry!

Chen Ying sighed helplessly to himself.

“Immortal Master, please wait! I invite you to come back to the village with me so that I can inform my family and repay you for saving my life!” Chen Qingshan pleaded urgently.

Xu Mu looked back at Chen Qingshan, a faint smile appearing on his face.

With his cultivation, he could easily see through their intentions.

“Speak your mind, don’t beat around the bush, it’s quite irritating,” Xu Mu said indifferently.

Chen Qingshan’s face flushed as he knelt again, keeping his head low and not daring to look at Xu Mu.

“My father has been bedridden for years, I beg you to save him, Immortal Master! I am willing to be at your beck and call and work like a horse for you from now on!” Chen Qingshan continuously knocked his forehead on the ground as he spoke.

“No need to work like a horse for me, it happens that I’m on my way, so I can check on your father! But whether I can cure him, I can’t guarantee!” Xu Mu said with a smile.

“Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!”

Seeing Xu Mu agree, Chen Qingshan couldn’t help but weep for joy, knocking his head on the ground a few more times before standing up.

“Thankyou, Immortal Master!”

Chen Ying also quickly came forward to thank Xu Mu.

He really didn’t expect Xu Mu to agree to Chen Qingshan’s request.

In the rumors he had heard, Immortal Masters were lofty figures who held the power of life and death over ordinary people. Their willingness to save two such people was already a miracle. Now this Immortal Master was even going the extra mile to save another life, it was as if they were dreaming.

“No need to be polite, let’s hurry and leave!” Xu Mu said with a nonchalant smile.

For him, it was indeed a simple task, and he could also gather some information in the village along the way.

In the future, the Xu Family might well settle here, so it can also be considered building goodwill!

Just as the two were about to take the lead and show the way, Xu Mu stopped them.

“Aren’t you taking this wild pig with you?”

Xu Mu pointed at the wild boar lying on the ground, still twitching slightly.

“This…” Chen Ying said hesitantly, “Will this delay the Immortal Master’s time?”

To be honest, he was rather reluctant, but feared that dealing with the wild boar would delay them and upset Xu Mu.

“No problem at all!”

Xu Mu said.

Seeing this, both their faces lit up with joy and they quickly came forward to express their gratitude. They then took out their hunting knives, ready to carve up the wild boar.

With their limited strength, it was impossible to take everything, so they planned to take only a part and hang the rest on a tree for someone to retrieve later.

After all, carrying around 500 pounds of boar over a mountain road of over 30 miles would be too difficult for just the two of them. They probably wouldn’t make it home until tomorrow.

Seeing their actions, Xu Mu couldn’t help but shake his head and spoke to stop them, “Forget it, I’ll help you carry it! This is, indeed, a bit slow.”

He walked forward, using his storage bag, directly putting the whole wild boar inside.

Seeing this magical scene, after their initial shock, both men repeatedly voiced their thanks, without daring to ask any further questions.

Chen Qingshan thought to himself, if only he had such ability, how much easier would hunting be in the future!

Without the wild boar slowing them down and with the Light Body Skill Xu Mu bestowed on them, the three of them moved swiftly.

Not long after, a village surrounded by a fence with smoke gently curling up appeared in Xu Mu’s field of vision.

“Immortal Master! Chen Family Village is just up ahead!” Chen Qingshan said impatiently.

Compared to the taciturn Chen Ying, Chen Qingshan had been eagerly trying to get closer to Xu Mu during their journey.

As for Chen Qingshan’s eagerness, Xu Mu just wore a smile, neither displaying interest nor dislike.

As for his nephew’s behavior, Chen Ying was constantly breaking out into a cold sweat internally.

Although Xu Mu appeared to be amicable, the various legends surrounding Immortal Masters made him dare not be too presumptuous, fearful that he might displease Xu Mu, who could end him with a wave of his hand.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they were spotted by the villagers on patrol.

“Chen Ying, who is this? How could you just bring a stranger into the village?”
