Maybe I shouldn't die.
Chapter 74: Descendants of the Bookstore Owner
Hearing the names of these two people, the hall master felt more relieved. Since they had registered their information with Governor Si ten years ago, it would not be difficult to check. Governor Si would always pay attention to the families of the disciples who were selected at the Ascension Conference.
So he replied: "It is enough, but it will take some time to find out the news. Senior, please go back and wait patiently."
Fang Yue nodded secretly, and then said: "We will set out to carry out the mission within three days. If you have any news before sunset tomorrow, you can come to Courtyard No. 6 of Jiazi to find me."
The hall master nodded respectfully. Since the problem had been solved, Fang Yue did not want to stay any longer. She took out a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills, placed it on the table, and then stood up and left.
After Fang Yue left, the hall master let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. He picked up the jade bottle left by Fang Yue, carefully uncorked it, and poured out a pill. The pill was silvery and round, with a faint luster. It was an extremely high-quality Qi Condensation Pill.
Qi Condensing Pill is an advanced pill of Qi Condensing Powder, which can speed up the cultivation speed of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. This kind of pill is extremely rare in Yishui City. Yishui City cannot grow spiritual herbs, so naturally there are no alchemists. The few pills are all from the portions issued by the sect.
However, the allotment is only distributed once every ten years, which is not enough for his cultivation. He has been stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for many years. With this bottle of elixir, he will be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
After leaving the Xinwen Hall, Fang Yue walked towards the bookstore in her memory. She remembered that the bookstore was located in a remote alley, some distance away from Governor Si. As she walked, she paid attention to the scene in the city, which was no different from ten years ago.
However, perhaps because there were still several months before the Ascension Conference began, the city was not as lively as she remembered. Even the street vendors seemed listless.
Wandering leisurely like this, Fang Yue came to a familiar alley. The alley was as quiet and cold as she remembered. She seemed to see the thin her pulling her elder brother into this alley ten years ago, with a helpless smile on her elder brother's face.
Fang Yue showed a nostalgic smile on her face, then shook her head and walked into the alley. However, at the end of the alley, the bookstore she remembered was no longer there, only a tattered wooden door and steps.
Fang Yue sighed, feeling lost. Although she had expected this, she still felt a little disappointed when she actually witnessed the bookstore disappearing. The knowledgeable old man from ten years ago was already over eighty years old and was almost at the end of his mortal life.
But she thought that this was Yishui City, and perhaps a miracle would happen, but there were not so many miracles in this world. Fang Yue turned around and was about to leave.
There was a creaking sound of a wooden door being pushed open behind her. Fang Yue turned around and saw a middle-aged woman walking out from behind the door. She was a little surprised to see Fang Yue. This alley was so remote and few people usually came here.
However, seeing that Fang Yue's appearance and clothes were extraordinary, and he was a stranger, and thinking that this year was the time for the Ascension Conference, he guessed that this person might have come from the world of cultivation.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman asked:
"I wonder why you are here, senior?"
Fang Yue stopped walking and turned to look at the woman. After hesitating for a moment, she asked.
"I wonder where the original bookstore here is."
The woman was surprised when she heard this. The bookstore had closed four or five years ago. Fang Yue's question made her guess more true, so she smiled warmly and replied:
"When my father was alive, he opened a small bookstore here, but business was not good. My father passed away five years ago, and the bookstore was closed."
Five years ago? Fang Yue thought for a moment and asked again:
"I don't know where the shopkeeper's grave is. I've received a favor from the shopkeeper, so I want to go and pay my respects."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had received a favor. She heard that immortals valued cause and effect, so she told Fang Yue where the tomb was, and then said:
"I have an eight-year-old son at home. Could you please take a look at whether he has the talent to cultivate immortality?"
She had a good idea. Regardless of whether her son had the talent to cultivate immortals or not, it would be good for him to show his face in front of the seniors from the upper realm in advance. If he had the talent to cultivate immortals, it would be even better if he could get some care from the seniors.
Fang Yue thought for a moment and agreed. After all, she was the descendant of the shopkeeper, and she could guess the woman's little thoughts. But as a parent, there was nothing wrong in thinking about her children, so it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.
Seeing Fang Yue agreed, the woman showed a very happy expression on her face, and immediately took Fang Yue into the courtyard, shouting, "Qizi, come out quickly!"
As soon as Fang Yue walked into the courtyard, she saw a fat man walking out of the house with an impatient look on his face.
"Mom, what's wrong again?"
The woman pretended not to notice, and pulled the fat boy over with one hand, came to Fang Yue and said:
"Master, this is my son. Please take a look at my son to see if he has the talent to practice cultivation."
Fang Yue looked at the little fat boy for a few times. The little fat boy had a round face and his eyes seemed a little small because of the plump cheeks, but his eyes were clear and bright, and at this moment his eyes were full of joy and expectation.
Without hesitation, she took out a small compass. This compass was one of the supplies distributed by the sect. It could sense whether there were any spiritual people within ten meters of her.
As soon as the compass was taken out, it started to spin wildly, and the needle pointed firmly in Fang Yue's direction. Fang Yue was a little surprised, but then she understood that she had successfully established her foundation, and her spiritual body would naturally become much stronger.
So she blocked her own breath, and the compass instantly became calm. After a while, the needle began to rotate slowly again. Fang Yue was surprised that this little fat boy really had the qualifications to cultivate immortality.
The compass needle rotated slowly and steadily, and it stopped after a while. However, it was not pointing to the fat boy and his daughter. Fang Yue was slightly surprised. There were other people in the yard, but she didn't even notice it.
She couldn't help but extend her spiritual sense to look in the direction the compass was pointing. It was a dilapidated woodshed. A corner of the woodshed was covered with thick straw and bedding, and on the mattress lay a young girl with a weak breath.
The girl's breath was so weak and she was in a coma, so Fang Yue didn't notice it.
Seeing Fang Yue remained silent for a long time, the mother and son gradually showed disappointment, guessing that it might be because they did not have the qualifications to practice Taoism.
Fang Yue's words also confirmed their guess. Fang Yue shook her head to indicate that this little fat boy did not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Then she changed the subject and asked:
"Who is the dying girl in the woodshed?"
The woman was surprised to hear this, but thinking that the person in front of her was an immortal from the upper world, it was not surprising that he had some magical methods, so she replied:
The girl was the daughter of her late husband's cousin. Her cousin's family went out and met with an accident, leaving her alone. It was impossible for an orphan to survive in this world. She didn't know how she heard where her cousin's family was, so she came here for shelter.
No one knew how she got through the ghost forest, but she actually found her home successfully. Since the girl called her aunt, she took her in. Her family had some savings, so it wouldn't be difficult to find a husband for her after raising her for a few years.
The girl was also sensible. She had been very hardworking since she came to their house and took over all the big and small things in the household. However, the good times did not last long. After only half a year, the girl suddenly fell ill. Many doctors in the city were consulted but none of them could find the cause.
Her house had a small yard and the girl originally lived in the same room with her. She was worried that the disease might be contagious, so she moved the girl to the woodshed. This was also a helpless move because she was the only adult in her family. If she was infected with an incurable disease, how would the young children in the family survive?
