I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 94: This system definitely has a lot of problems.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Yiyao grabbed her sword and rushed out the door.

Gu Heng was left alone in the clinic to tidy up. After he finished, he sat in the front hall, staring at the empty entrance, his hair practically dripping with sweat.

Yes, there are powerful cultivators fighting today. It seems that everyone in Yunling City, whether cultivators or mortals, is planning to go and watch the show. A few days ago, there were about ten people seeking medical advice every day, but today there probably won't be a single one.

Just now, when Gu Heng opened the door, he heard the tailor shop owner say that her deadbeat husband had packed his things and gone to Jingku Valley early in the morning.

Not every mortal is like him, uninterested in matters concerning cultivators.

"Alas, life is as lonely as snow..."

Gu Heng sighed softly, then stood up. On top of the medicine cabinet, the little silver cat was still lying peacefully, occasionally licking its paws and wagging its tail.

"Looks like it's just you and me left, little guy."

Upon hearing his words, the kitten jumped down and nestled in his arms, accepting Gu Heng's caresses.

"Meow……"

Su Jinxi yawned.

The demon race is very sleepy.

Unlike humans, the demon race has a unique cultivation method, the most important of which is "sleep". Su Jinxi once slept for seventy years before waking up when she broke through the tribulation.

Aside from taking Gu Heng's pills to accumulate medicinal power and prepare for her demonic body's next evolution, she basically sleeps every day. Even the extraordinary celestial phenomenon of Xiao Ling breaking through to the Tribulation Stage last night couldn't wake her.

Moreover, it's really unnecessary for two useless people who have just entered the Tribulation Transcending stage to make such a big fuss about a fight.

"Sigh, I regretted letting her go. What if that girl accidentally gets into a fight on the way?"

Gu Heng stroked the kitten's head in his arms and whispered.

Su Jinxi was too lazy to answer.

That mysterious girl was able to easily defeat a Core Formation level 10 cultivator when she was only at the Foundation Establishment level 2. Now that she's at the Core Formation level 1, defeating a Nascent Soul level 10 cultivator shouldn't be a problem for her.

Moreover, he also possesses a top-grade weapon.

Her thought was that there was nothing to worry about.

"Hmm, I should have asked President Feng to send her two guards..." Gu Heng muttered.

I'm still very worried.

"Why am I telling you all this... Sigh, but I guess no one will come to see a doctor today. I'm free now, so I'll go for a stroll."

Gu Heng placed the kitten on the counter, straightened his clothes, closed the clinic door, and left.

"...Sigh, I'll go and take a look."

Su Jinxi listened to Gu Heng's rambling words with a sense of helplessness.

Since I have nothing better to do anyway, I might as well go and take a look.

Since that little girl is her master's disciple, she, as her pet, has a responsibility to protect her. Although Su Jinxi thinks there are probably only two cultivators in the entire Kuyun Prefecture who could instantly kill her...

Those two were even prepared to fight to the death.

With this thought in mind, a powerful demonic aura surged from Su Jinxi's body, solidifying into her human form.

At that moment, the antique lamp in the corner also lit up.

Su Jinxi noticed it and looked over.

"Elder Su, are you planning to go out?"

Jian Xuan's soul light emanated from the ancient lamp and saw that Su Jinxi had condensed an avatar, so he asked.

"Ah."

Su Jinxi nodded slightly, "That little girl wanted to watch the battle between cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Master was worried that something might happen to her, so I sent out a clone just in case."

"However, judging from Elder Jianxuan's appearance... his soul is well-nurtured."

Jian Xuan chuckled, "Thanks to Senior Gu's lamp, I estimate that my soul will recover to the Great Ascension stage in less than a year!"

As a remnant soul being kept, Jian Xuan has very little to do. He simply stays in the self-contained space within the ancient lamp, slowly repairing his soul, and then he can consider reshaping his physical body, although reshaping the physical body is the more troublesome thing.

"Since Elder Su is planning to go out, why not take me with you?"

The soul light swirled and separated into a small, white, tadpole-shaped soul body, which attached itself to Su Jinxi's avatar.

Jian Xuan also wanted to see how the outside world had changed.

"Very well, the two of us do have quite a few things to talk about."

Su Jinxi readily agreed.

The graceful and beautiful humanoid figure vanished as a wisp of purple smoke, while inside the tightly closed clinic, the kitten climbed onto the medicine cabinet and continued sleeping, and the ancient lamp in the corner dimmed again.

Everything is very quiet.

...Gu Heng closed the shop, then found a restaurant, ordered two jugs of good wine and some braised meat from the waiter, and drank alone in the shop.

He had only taken a few bites when his gaze swept toward the street next door, where he could faintly hear commotion and shouts.

Following the line of sight, one could see a number of ordinary people holding silver, queuing up, and then boarding a carriage after the person standing by the street had taken their money…

It shouldn't be called a horse-drawn carriage either.

Because what pulls the cart is not a horse, but a kind of monster called "Swift Wind Beast". This monster looks like a horse, but it has a large horn on its head and six hooves. When it runs, it really feels like it is flying, and it is incredibly fast.

Moreover, this is a rare type of monster with an extremely gentle nature.

Even a horse will kick when it's in a hurry, but a swift beast won't.

"That is how the matter?"

The restaurant was almost empty, so the waiter had some free time and sat by the window. Gu Heng didn't know what was going on outside, so he simply asked the waiter.

"Oh, that's set up by the Yan family in the east of the city. They say they pick up and drop off mortals who want to see the excitement at Jingku Valley, and even offer to take them back. Look, that guy is a servant of the Yan family, and he's collecting money right now."

The waiter pointed to the Yan family servants in the distance.

"Oh?"

Gu Heng seemed to be deep in thought.

The Yan family is clever; they know to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money from ordinary people.

"I really don't understand why so many people want to watch those cultivators fight to the death. Watching so much won't turn them into cultivators."

The waiter grimaced and complained.

"Everyone has that dream, right? After all, being able to fly through the heavens and dive into the earth like a cultivator is something many people aspire to." Gu Heng chuckled as he finished his glass of strong liquor.

In fact, he also wanted to go and take a look later.

With the system's help, he has now reached the limit of what ordinary people can do.

Compared to others, he was clearly the most qualified and most likely to embark on the path of cultivation, but the system just couldn't help him.

Damn it, he couldn't cultivate on his own. He thought that after so long, his temperament would be calm enough, but in fact, Gu Heng still had a sliver of fantasy about cultivators.

Gu Heng was certain that the system would definitely allow him to cultivate!

Because of certain treasures given by the system... he could feel the joy of becoming a cultivator.

For example, those "Swift Boots".

Walking thousands of miles a day.

The fact that the system could produce a pair of shoes that were clearly not ordinary speaks volumes.
