Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Chapter 270 The Unforeseeable Future

Outside Linyuan City, Xiao Nan stared blankly at the city where he once lived, feeling mixed emotions.

Half a year ago, the evil cultivators caused a huge disturbance in the city and destroyed the entire East City District. Later, they attracted monsters. Although the city was supported by the formations and later rescued by the troops from Tianyuan City, Linyuan City was still seriously damaged and has not fully recovered until now.

As a demon cultivator who was caught at that time for selling immortal blood, Xiao Nan was also required to contribute to the work of repairing the city wall, and she had to work very hard. She worked day and night like a slave, and huddled in a cold and damp cell at night. However, she had no complaints. She had to bear the consequences of the path she had chosen.

And thanks to her practice of magic, there are no magic weapons in Linyuan City that can limit magic power. The cultivators who have committed crimes will at most have their magic power suppressed. Xiao Nan, who has practiced the Tiancang Guixin Jue to the second level, is stronger than the ordinary people guarding her even if her magic power is suppressed. Therefore, although people sometimes come to trouble her, most of them are not serious problems and she can handle them by herself.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan worked hard enough to atone her sins, and even saved a new disciple of Tiancang Sect when repairing the city wall. This made the people of Tiancang Sect change their views on her. Although her crimes could not be pardoned, at least her treatment in prison would be better.

"That's fine. Anyway, I don't have to worry about food and clothing here. I can get out in a hundred or eighty years."

On this day, Xiao Nan was making fun of herself in the cell. She couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that she might have to live in this gloomy place for the rest of her life. But unexpectedly, Shu Dan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, came to visit her and even took her out of the cell directly.

"Brother Shu?!" Xiao Nan was surprised. She didn't expect Shu Dan to come to her.

No, Shu Dan should come to find her. It was she, Sang Ge and Han Wei who deceived her and caused the doctor to be implicated.

Xiao Nan did not go to inquire specifically, but he had heard some rumors. Because of her relationship with them, Shu Dan's life was not easy. When he met Shu Dan again this time, Gui Yan felt ashamed.

But what surprised Xiaonan even more was that Shu Dan actually took her directly out of the cell and even out of Linyuan City.

So, Xiaonan is now standing on a small hill, looking at Linyuan City in the distance, while Shudan is making a fire on the other side. Along with the crackling sound of burning firewood, Shudan's footsteps also come to Xiaonan's side.

"Brother Shu, why are you..." Xiao Nan lowered her head and hesitated. She didn't know whether she should ask Shu Dan why he took her out of prison, or ask him how he convinced the monks of Tiancang Sect to let her go. Of course, she also wanted to know why Shu Dan took her out of the city.

There were too many questions at once, and her heart was so confused that she didn't know how to start talking for a moment, so she had to look up at Shu Dan.

There was nothing special about this doctor from Linyuan City - just like Xiaonan.

Although Sangge looks stupid, he is not only a cultivator of the Tiancang Sect, but also secretly sells the blood of immortals. He can be said to be involved in both black and white affairs.

Han Weiguang looked like a great beauty. I'm afraid that more than half of the people who came to the martial arts school she opened were attracted by her beauty. But no one expected that even during the time she lived in Linyuan City, her strength was not weaker than that of Bai Shang, the elder of Tiancang Sect at that time.

"I'm afraid Sister Han has become an immortal now." Xiao Nan thought this more than once in prison. She hated Han Wei for deceiving her, but to be honest, he and Sangge had also been deceiving each other.

Shu Dan looked at Xiao Nan. The expression on his face seemed to be the same as Xiao Nan remembered, without any change. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Xiao Nan became.

"Because the time has come."

"Time? When? Whose time has come?" Xiao Nan asked.

Shu Dan did not answer her directly, but said: "I will take you to find Sanger."

Hearing Sanger's name, Xiao Nan was startled and asked quickly: "Where is he?"

"Dahuang." Shu Dan answered briefly, and then took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms. On the talisman paper were some obscure patterns and words. Even Xiao Nan, who had a low level of cultivation, could feel the power contained in this talisman paper.

This is definitely not something that a cultivator of her strength can access. Not only her, but even Sangge and Han Wei probably can't access this thing. Perhaps only cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm can access such a thing.

But this thing now appears in Shu Dan's hands.

"Brother Shu, where did you get this thing?" Xiao Nan asked. She found that she had asked a lot of questions, but Shu Dan didn't answer many. She couldn't help but clasp her hands over her chest and look at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her vigilantly.

"It seems that everyone in our family has their own secrets."

"That's normal. Even real family members can't be completely honest with each other." Shu Dan held the talisman paper in his hand, then extended his hand to Xiao Nan.

"This is just a ground-walking talisman. It won't cause any harm to you."

"Earth-walking Talisman?" Although Xiao Nan had not joined any sect of cultivators and learned all his magic from Sangge, he had learned some common sense among cultivators after selling the blood of immortals for so many days.

"Who has the Earth-Walking Talisman nowadays?" Xiao Nan asked.

"There are some in Wanxian Pavilion, Tianya Island, Guixian Sect, and Landian, but only Wanxian Pavilion and Tianya Island have more. I'm afraid other forces won't use the Earth-walking Talisman unless it's a matter of life and death. As for the one in my hand... it was given to me by a friend."

"Given by a friend?" Xiao Nan was puzzled again. Shu Dan practiced medicine in Linyuan City and had a very good reputation. He had many friends, and she and Sangge knew almost all of them. She thought that she might need help from the other party in the future, but she couldn't think of any friend of Shu Dan who might take out a Earth-Walking Talisman.

"A new friend I made after Han Wei betrayed me." Shu Dan smiled and put a little more strength in the hand holding the talisman paper.

……

"After Fellow Daoist Ying eliminated the evil spirit in my body, my consciousness also became clear again. Then I remembered that it was Shu Dan who gave me this Earth-Walking Talisman." In the Soul-Locking Prison, Qu Qing took out the Earth-Walking Talisman from his arms and placed it in front of everyone.

Yun Guijun and Wen Lian just took a look and shook their heads immediately:

"It's an earth-walking talisman, but it's stained with demonic energy. It seems that even after all these years, the demon cultivator's foundation has not been completely consumed." Yun Guijun sighed and looked at Han Wei:

"That Doctor Shu is also one of yours, but he didn't come to Fengyang City with me. He finally stayed in Linyuan City. What are your plans?" Qu Qing's tone was serious. Linyuan City was a big city managed by Tiancang Sect after all, but it was coveted by the evil cultivators time and time again, which made the Tiancang Sect feel uncomfortable as well. Especially when she recalled the illusion that Ye Ping showed her at the beginning - the illusion that Tianyuan City was breached by the evil cultivators and almost all the Tiancang Sect cultivators were killed in the battle - she felt upset.

"As expected of the Wanxian Pavilion and Tianya Island, you even care about the affairs of a small sect. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have long forgotten that there is a place called Linyuan City in this world."

Han Wei said this to irritate Qu Qing, but the other party remained silent, and his clever body showed no expression. She felt embarrassed and had to continue:

"As for Shu Dan, I originally sought him out just to have a status in the city. He is a doctor, a highly respected doctor, and I am the owner of a martial arts school, teaching a group of disciples to practice martial arts. When I have time, I will also help the monks in Linyuan City with some small favors. With such a status, I can build good relationships with the people around me, and have someone to take care of me if there are any problems with my business behind the scenes."

"But as for Shu Dan, I did find him according to orders. At that time, I was not yet an immortal. As for him, he was just an ordinary person with no magic power, no background, and only the medical skills inherited from his ancestors."

"Then what is your purpose in looking for him?" Wen Lian asked. Unlike Yun Guijun, she no longer had much patience at this moment. The magic power was condensed in her palms, and the threat was self-evident.

"I was just about to say it." Han Wei sensed Wen Lian's murderous intent. She knew that because of [Unity], the other party could not kill her, but that did not mean that the other party could not torture her.

"Shu Dan is indeed just an ordinary person, but Ye Ping peeped into the past and future of most people in the world at that time. Of course, he only peeped into ordinary people. He wanted to train a chess piece from scratch. I guess he has done this many times."

Anyway, Ye Ping is already dead, so Han Wei is not worried about any trouble arising from revealing the other party's secret.

"But most ordinary people go through normal lifespans, such as birth, aging, illness and death. Shu Dan is the only one who is different. He looked at Shu Dan's future and found that his future actually extended backwards, far beyond the lifespan limit of ordinary people."

"So he thought Shu Dan could practice and could be used as his pawn."

"That's not enough," Han Wei shook his head. "What really caught his attention about Shu Dan was that although his future was much better than that of ordinary people, it was still invisible."

"The future clearly exists, but it is unpredictable. If he is a powerful cultivator, then this is not surprising. But in the future that Ye Ping can see, he has always been an ordinary person."

"So he speculated that Shudan would enter an unobservable place at some point in the future, or even directly leave our world."
