Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 2 Waste of natural resources
The two black-armored knights moved with extreme agility, one raising his shoulder and the other his arm. Li Yunjing's weight of 140 or 150 pounds did not cause them any sense of strain.

The two men moved swiftly, throwing Li Yunjing into the last carriage.

Yu San and Yu Si were also wearing raincoats, but their bodies were already soaked by the rain.

Clearly, these guards were no match for Chief Steward Li's cultivation level.

The carriage is large enough to comfortably accommodate three to five people.

The last carriage contained piles of dried rations, miscellaneous items, an iron pot, and buckets...

These are supplies prepared for a long journey.

At this time, the supplies in the carriage were less than half full, but enough to settle Li Yunjing.

The convoy continued its journey at a leisurely pace, and Li Yunjing's appearance had no impact whatsoever.

After exchanging a few words with the young lady, Steward Li arrived at the last carriage. Looking at Li Yunjing's miserable state, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Kid, you're incredibly lucky! You survived being struck by lightning!"

As the old man examined Li Yunjing's injuries, he muttered to himself, "You're lucky! You ran into our young lady! Everyone knows 'Yue Mingcheng,' and the Yu family's young lady is the kindest of all!"

"Crash!"

The heavy rain was still falling outside. The old man found a rag and wiped Li Yunjing's body.

He then took Li Yunjing's pulse and felt his bones.

Having confirmed Li Yunjing's condition, Steward Li carefully took out a set of silver needles.

The silver needles were as thin as cow hair. Steward Li's wrist moved rapidly, and the silver needles silently pierced various acupoints on Li Yunjing's body.

After performing acupuncture on Li Yunjing, Steward Li hesitated for a moment, but finally took out a jade bottle with a pained expression.

"Such a miraculous healing medicine is being wasted on you, what a waste!"

Manager Li muttered something and pulled out the stopper.

Instantly, a pleasant fragrance filled the carriage.

He carefully poured out a blue pill from the jade bottle.

Steward Li held it in his hand, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Sigh! Let's just consider it as losing a precious pill!"

Steward Li's gaunt face twitched slightly. He quickly pressed the stopper back on and stuffed the jade bottle back into his robes.

Only then did he grit his teeth, pry open Li Yunjing's mouth, and stuff the thumb-sized pill into it.

"Boy! Once you've taken my Yu family's 'Heart-Protecting Pill,' even if the King of Hell comes, he won't be able to take your life."

Looking at Li Yunjing, whose breathing was rising and falling slightly, Steward Li murmured to himself.

After confirming that Li Yunjing's condition was stable, Steward Li removed the silver needles, left Li Yunjing a set of servant's clothes, and then left with peace of mind.

This road is the only way to reach the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The "Shenxiao Daozong" are immortals in the secular world who are known by name but whose whereabouts are unknown.

Aside from a few aristocratic families, powerful clans, and royal families with ancient traditions, ordinary people rarely know the true information about the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and naturally, they cannot find this ancient road that has existed for tens of thousands of years.

However, anyone who knows the exact address of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is definitely not an ordinary person!

If you want to join the immortal sect, how can you do it without skills?

To become a disciple of a celestial sect, one must be a genius among ten thousand, possessing top-tier talent.

Just like the eldest daughter of the Yu family!
"Who is this kid?"

The thought flashed through Steward Li's mind.

If one hadn't examined Li Yunjing from head to toe and known that he was merely a somewhat robust martial artist, it would have been difficult to discern the truth.

He thought it was from a family of cultivators, just like the Yu family!
Such a nobody is not even as good as the knights of the Yu family.

Naturally, it has no ability to cause any trouble.

Steward Li, of course, had no interest in keeping an eye on Li Yunjing any longer. After getting out of the carriage, he reported the situation to the young lady: the boy wouldn't die.

Steward Li stood guard beside the carriage.

He had to stay by her side at all times to protect the young lady's safety.

After all, it's deep in the mountains and forests, not "Yue Mingcheng".

It wasn't the Yu family's stronghold either, so how could he dare to be careless?

If something unexpected happens, how will he explain it to the head of the family?

"Yueming City" is three thousand miles away from here, and has gone through many hardships along the way.

Even for a top family like the Yu family, their journey has not been peaceful.

We're almost at our destination. If something goes wrong, Steward Li's worthless life is too valuable to compensate for!
The night was long, and the rain fell all night, starting as a downpour and then gradually turning into a drizzle.

The convoy didn't stop to rest, clearly indicating that the Yu family was in a hurry and didn't dare to waste any time.

The next morning, after the rain stopped, Li Yunjing finally woke up.

"Where is this?"

"Was I rescued?!"

Feeling the power return to his body, Li Yunjing observed the things inside the carriage.

Then he sensed movement beneath him and realized he was in a moving carriage.

"Hey kid! What's your name?"

Butler Li immediately went to Li Yunjing and began questioning him.

Within a radius of three miles, no sound or movement could escape the notice of Steward Li.

The steward knew as soon as Li Yunjing woke up.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Yunjing. Did you save my life, senior? This humble one greets you!"

He vaguely remembered some things from last night.

Considering my current physical condition, how could I not know that I was saved by the person in front of me?
What else is there to say to someone who saved your life?

So Li Yunjing straightened up and bowed deeply in respect.

"Hmm! They're from the same family!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was sensible enough, Steward Li nodded and recounted the whole story of how he saved him.

"Thank you so much, Miss! Thank you so much, Steward Li!"

Li Yunjing thought to himself, "Thank goodness!"

He was deeply grateful to his family.

"Change your clothes and come with me to pay my respects to the young lady!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's miserable state, Steward Li sneered and gestured for the boy to put on the guard's clothes.

"Thank you very much, Steward Li!"

Although the old man was impolite and somewhat sarcastic, Li Yunjing was still grateful.

If it weren't for this person's help, I probably would have died on that muddy road.

Li Yunjing laughed off the two sarcastic remarks made by his savior.

As for being completely naked, Li Yunjing didn't care at all.

In his past life, he frequented bathhouses, and when he got carried away, he was practically inhuman.

Completely unconcerned about the audience present, Li Yunjing changed his clothes from head to toe without any hesitation.

The size fits quite well, not bad!
Li Yunjing was very satisfied. At least in a prestigious family like the Yu family, even a guard's clothes were much more elegant than those of ordinary merchants and landlords.
