Junior sister slandered me, the Drunken Swordsman, I cut through the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 144: Dead trees grow again in spring, but people never become young again

When Ye Qian'an heard that he had to pay spirit stones to enter the city, his expression was a little strange. This was the first time he heard such a weird request.

However, in order to complete the sect's mission, he still took out a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and only then was he able to enter the city safely.

As soon as I entered the city, a cold wind blew towards me, and then I could feel the fluctuations of spiritual power in the air.

Ye Qian'an carried the wine gourd and walked forward, while using his spiritual sense to explore forward. The situation of each person appeared in his mind.

There are not many people in the city. Perhaps because of the cold weather and the climate here, only a few people come out to buy things.

Ye Qian'an was quite curious.

Logically, although Lingdong City is covered with ice and snow all year round, because it is located on the border between humans and demons, many cultivators come here to purchase supplies or live here.

However, when Ye Qian'an swept his spiritual sense around, he found that there were not many cultivators here, and most of them were in the Qi training and foundation building stages.

"Where have all the powerful cultivators in this city gone?"

Ye Qian'an originally wanted to go to the tavern to find out the news, but before he took two steps, he heard sad crying next to his ear.

Looking up, I saw a mansion that looked quite grand, with many funeral banners piled on both sides of the door, as if someone had died.

Ye Qian'an came to the mansion called Li Mansion. As soon as he entered, he saw a coffin standing in the middle of the courtyard. The crying sound before came from the house.

In the room, an old man with gray hair and beard was lying on the bed. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left. His face was gaunt and he looked exhausted, as if he might leave this world at any time.

In front of the old man was a girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing an emerald green shirt and had her hair tied up in a bun. She looked quite pretty.

At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground, with tears on her delicate face.

"Grandpa, are you okay? I'll prepare some ginseng soup for you right now."

The old man grabbed the girl's wrist, shook his head towards her position, and said weakly: "Forget it, God has doomed our Li family. Although the Li family is rich, but..."

"Oh, this is fate."

Li Qian'er knelt on the ground in pain, tears dripping down her face, and said, "Grandpa, please stop talking. Please stop talking."

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

Everyone in the Li family looked towards Ye Qiyan's position at the same time. However, after seeing Ye Qiyan's attire, they knew that he was a cultivator and immediately knelt on the ground to worship him.

They are just mortals who have great admiration for the immortal cultivators. Naturally, they kowtow three times and bow nine times when they meet them to prove their respect for the immortal cultivators.

"Meet the Immortal!"

When Li Qian'er heard the word "immortal", she immediately threw herself at Ye Qian'an's feet, kowtowed and said, "Immortal, please save my grandfather's life, please!"

Ye Qian'an looked at the old man who had already withered bones. After using his spiritual sense to scan the other person's body, he frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Someone actually cursed their Li family. Who is so cruel?"

Although Ye Qiyan shouldn't care about this kind of thing, as it's the fate and destiny of a mortal, but since it happened, Ye Qiyan had no reason to ignore it, especially since he himself was also a mortal in the past.
Ye Qian'an moved his fingers slightly, and a ray of pure spiritual power was injected into the old man's brow. Immediately, this energy broke the forbidden curse in the old man's body, helping him to reabsorb spiritual power for cultivation.

As the majestic spiritual energy entered his body, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. He had never expected that one day his body would feel so light and comfortable.

Li Qianer ran over quickly, and after seeing that her grandfather survived, she was shaking with excitement.

Ye Qian sat on the chair, looking at the other party's appearance when they met again, and recalled the days in Qingxuan Sect. The old man sat up with difficulty. Even though he still looked like a consumptive ghost at this moment, he could feel that he was much more energetic and did not look like he was about to die just now.

"Thank you for saving my life, Immortal. My Li family will never forget your help. We will repay you with a thousand times the gratitude!"

"I don't know the immortal's name."

"Ye Qian'an."

Old man Li nodded heavily, and at the same time, he kept the name "Ye Qian'an" firmly in his heart, and swore that he would make sure that the descendants of the Li family would remember this name.

Ye Qian'an took a sip of wine and then said, "Old sir, let me ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully."

"The younger generation will certainly tell you everything they know, and will say it all."

"Did your Li family offend any cultivator?"

"offend?"

Old man Li frowned, trying to recall, and answered softly: "According to what my grandfather said, my Li family was originally a great sect of cultivators three thousand years ago, but due to an accident, all the spiritual roots of the family disciples were lost. Since then, there has been no cultivator in my Li family anymore."

"Three thousand years ago...

What a vicious guy, he actually destroyed the thousand-year fortune of the Li family."

Ye Qian'an said secretly in his heart.

Only a generational feud could lead to such a thing. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to turn a cultivation family into an ordinary family.

From this perspective, it is obvious that the other party wants to destroy the Li family's fortune for ten thousand years, or even longer. By then, the Li family disciples will fall apart and eventually disappear completely from the territory of the Shenzhou continent.

Ye Qian'an sighed.

The cultivators are truly unimaginably cruel.

"Since we have met, I will grant your Li family an opportunity. Whether you can accept it depends on your own destiny."

Ye Qian'an danced his hands quickly, and at the same time, hundreds of high-quality spirit stones flew out of his storage ring and flew in different directions. After determining their positions, they all fell into the center of the formation.

The emerald green formation enveloped the entire Li family's sky. At the same time, vast spiritual power was continuously injected into the Li family's courtyard, causing the dead trees here to come back to life again.

“A dead tree will sprout again in spring, but a man can never be young again.”

Ye Qian'an was deeply moved as he watched the dead trees come back to life in spring.

Then he put one hand behind his back and said softly: "This formation is called the Spirit Gathering Formation. It can ensure that your Li family disciples will prosper for ten thousand years, and it can also break the forbidden curse in the body of the Li family disciples."

Old Man Li immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Immortal. My Li family will never forget your help!"

"No problem, it's just a piece of cake."

Ye Qian'an waved his hand and continued, "By the way, there is something I want to ask. Lingdong City was once prosperous, so why is it so desolate when I come here? Moreover, most of the cultivators are practicing Qi and building foundations, and even a few are at the stage of forming a pill."

"What happened in the city?"
