After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

As the group turned a corner, they saw a house surrounded by a large crowd.

In the middle of the crowd, a woman, her eyes brimming with tears, was holding a small child and pleading with a middle-aged man to save her child.

Many people around were urging the man to save the sick child.

The man looked reluctant, but still said helplessly, "Erzhu's wife, it's not that I don't want to treat him, it's that I can't. I just examined him, and Er Gouzi is neither sick nor poisoned. I'm afraid he's possessed by an evil spirit, which I really don't know how to do!"

Tears streamed down the woman's face as she pleaded hopefully, "Uncle Wang Wen, what should we do? Please, please show me the way!"

Wang Wen sighed and finally spoke: "Very well, the Jishetang in town sells exorcism pills, but they cost a thousand spirit stones. Given your family's situation... that's difficult!"

Upon hearing the price, the woman felt as if the sky were falling, and she helplessly hugged her child tightly, sobbing softly.

Chi Yi and Hua Rongyi in the crowd exchanged a glance, clearly both believing this was a good opportunity to stay in Xicun and investigate.

Chi Yi glanced at Bai Shu, who nodded, indicating that he could cure her.

Bai Zhu stepped out of the crowd and approached the woman holding the child, saying softly, "Sister-in-law, I am a pharmacist. May I see your son?"

Hearing the voice, the woman looked up and saw a beautiful and gentle woman. After a moment of surprise, she realized what the woman was saying and quickly moved the child in her arms closer to her.

Bai Shu reached out to take Er Gou's pulse, his spiritual energy probing into Er Gou's body through his fingertips. Bai Shu instantly understood Er Gou's current condition.

The people around watched Bai Shu take the pulse quietly, without making a sound to disturb her. Many people showed concerned expressions, clearly hoping that the beautiful woman in front of them could find a solution.

After a moment, Bai Shu withdrew his hand with a heavy expression and said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, Er Gou is indeed possessed by an evil spirit, but there is still hope for him."

Hearing this, the woman was overjoyed. "Sister, please save my Er Gou! I'll do anything to save him!"

Bai Shu took out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Er Gou, saying, "Let him swallow this pill first."

She then turned to the crowd and said, "Brothers and sisters, could you please lend me a room? I need to treat Er Gou."

Hearing that there was hope, everyone was overjoyed. Wang Wen immediately said, "Come to my house quickly." Soon, Wang Wen led Bai Shu and the others into the room.

After some treatment, Er Gou's complexion gradually became rosy.

"Sister-in-law, Er Gou is alright for now, he'll wake up soon," Bai Shu said to the woman with a smile.

The woman was so moved that she repeatedly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister! Our family will never forget this kindness!"

Bai Shu waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. It was just a small favor."

After saying that, he added, "Sister-in-law, Er Gou still needs acupuncture every day until he is fully recovered. We are going to stay in town. You can come to town to find us tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately asked, "Do you need anything in town? Do you need my help?"

Bai Shu smiled gently and replied, "It's nothing. We were traveling here and originally planned to leave today, but your Er Gou needs acupuncture, so we can stay a few more days and enjoy the scenery around us."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately said, "Why go to town to stay? It's such a waste of money. If you don't mind, come to my house. I have plenty of empty rooms."

Bai Shu hesitated: "But with so many of us, won't we disturb you?"

"No need to disturb, no need to disturb, come with me." After saying that, she carried the unconscious Er Gou home.

Seeing the villagers still waiting at Wang Wen's door, he said, "Thank you for your concern, my Er Gou is fine now, he'll be alright in a few days."

Upon hearing this news, everyone dispersed and went home.

Chi Yi and her group followed the woman to her home. Along the way, she told them that her name was Chen Lanhua and that she had married into the Chen family village next door. Her husband, Wang Erzhu, had passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. Her parents-in-law, who were already in poor health, couldn't bear the blow of their son's death and also passed away, leaving only the two of them, mother and son.

Her husband has a younger brother and a younger sister. The younger brother went to do business in another city and is rarely home. It is unknown whether he is still alive. The younger sister married into a family in town and occasionally helps the two of them.

When they arrived at Chen Lanhua's house, she smiled and said, "Please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go clean up. No one has lived here for a long time, and there's dust everywhere."

Then she said to Er Gou, who was already awake, "Er Gouzi, help your mother greet the guests."

Er Gouzi nodded in agreement.

Just as Chen Lanhua was about to leave, Bai Shu called out to her, "Sister Lanhua, there's no need to bother. We're all cultivators; a simple dust-removing spell will suffice. It's already noon; why don't you go and prepare some food first?"

Chen Lanhua was surprised that they were all cultivators, but she also felt that it was only natural. Their temperament and abilities were not something ordinary people could possess. She happily led them to the door of their room and then went to cook for them.

Seven-year-old Er Gouzi had heard of cultivators, and in his mind, they were immortals who could fly. He never expected that so many immortals would appear in front of him, and there was even an immortal who was about the same age as him.

To see how powerful the immortal was, he followed closely behind Chi Yi and the others.

There were five rooms in total. Chi Yi, Kong Bai, Ling Lili, Hua Rongyi, and Yun Fan each chose a room to perform their dust-removing spells.

Meanwhile, Bai Shu and Jin Haoyu were casting spells in the courtyard.

Er Gou, who was following behind them, watched in disbelief as the dirty and messy yard became clean and tidy. His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

Han Xiaobao reached out and closed his jaw. "What's the big deal!"

Er Gou blinked his big eyes and asked Han Xiaobao, "Little immortal, why aren't you using your magic?"

Little fairy? What kind of ridiculous title is that!

But Han Xiaobao knew he was being called, so he replied, "I haven't learned it yet. Master will teach me later."

"Look, that's my master!" Han Xiaobao said, pointing to Chi Yi in a room.

Er Gou: "Then can you ask your master if I can learn it?"

Han Xiaobao looked Er Gou up and down. Under his gaze, Er Gou straightened his back and tried his best to show his best side.

Then, like a little adult, he shook his head.

Er Gou thought he meant that he couldn't learn it, while Han Xiaobao meant that he couldn't tell whether he could learn it or not.

Although the meanings were different, Er Gou kept pestering Han Xiaobao, insisting that he ask his master, wanting his master to teach him immortal techniques.

Chi Yi and the others saw their interaction but didn't say anything. Han Xiaobao was always well-behaved and obedient by their side, but they always felt that he lacked the liveliness and cheerfulness of a child.

Now that he's met Er Gou, he's suddenly become much more talkative. It's true that people of the same age always have more to talk about.

…………

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in Chi Yi's room.

Bai Shu spoke up: "Er Gou had a trace of black energy on his body, the same as the one on the stone tablet at the village entrance. That's why he fell into a coma. He took the exorcism pill and is basically fine now, but his body is weaker than the average person, making him easily susceptible to invasion by evil energy."

“Well, since we’ve run into each other, I’ll draw a protective talisman for him later,” Hua Rongyi said.

Kong Bai then spoke up: "I took a look at the stone tablet when no one was looking, but I found nothing. I plan to go and take another look tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Jin Haoyu, take me to the place where you saw the formation yesterday," Hua Rongyi said to him.

Jin Haoyu agreed.
