Chapter 5: The Magical Jiuyang Grass
Jiuyang grass is a type of celestial herb found in the Tianyue Continent, which is particularly important for novice cultivators. It is the best herb for enhancing one's power and unblocking meridians
Li Weiwu fixed a venomous gaze on Qin Shileng and let out a cold snort
The subject teachers have already grown accustomed to his absence; without him, it is better for them to doze off in class, so they do not pay him any mind and allow him his freedom
The lower floor is where I live, and there are two rooms upstairs. One has been rented out, leaving only the innermost room available. You can take a look. The old man led Qin Shi upstairs.
Master, please help me. My father is very ill. I beg you for a pill of Clear Heart Elixir
Cash the check
Qin Shi accidentally discovered a Jiuyang grass growing in the corner of the back wall, and he was filled with great joy
Relying on the memories of the original host, Qin Shi arrived at Xianghua Village. This village is located more than 20 kilometers from Linyang City and still retains its simple rural appearance. Most of the young people in the village have gone to work in the city, leaving behind the elderly and children, along with a large number of vacant houses, many of which have rental signs posted on them
Tomorrow marks the school holiday, and I cannot return to the dormitory. Qin Shi thinks it would be better to rent a house now, where he can store herbs and cultivate in peace
Upon speaking, he took the check and, upon seeing it was a check for 30,000 yuan, was taken aback.
Qin Shi looked at Lin Yanran's haggard face, displaying a sincere expression, and his tone was extremely earnest
Here are some fruit trees that I have planted; you can pick and eat freely. There are also these vegetables that my family cannot consume. All of these are free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and they cannot be bought in the city. The elderly person loves to chat and has a kind heart
Grandma, may I take a look at the room first
Lin Yanran remained silent, tilting her head as she gazed out the window, seemingly lost in thought
Lin Yanran did not find the 5,000 yuan elixir expensive at all; if it were 500 yuan, she would not really expect any results. The fact that this person dares to sell it for such a high price must be for a reason
Hello, may I ask what business you would like to conduct?" The bank's lobby manager warmly approached Qin Shi.
With a creak, the door opened, and an elderly woman with graying hair emerged from within
I will give you these four pills. The green Qingxin Pill should be taken by your father with warm water after you return; one pill is sufficient, and be sure not to take two. These two black pills are the Great Nourishing Pills, which can strengthen the body and ensure that you remain free from illness for a year. In critical moments, they can also save a life; as long as there is breath, they can extend life for a year, but remember not to take two at the same time.
Li Weiwu noticed that Lin Yanran's expression was gloomy and her tone was cold, realizing that she was truly angry, and he did not dare to speak again
Good place! How much is the rent per month?
Qin Shi had no interest in these matters and casually agreed. Coming to such a remote place was not for leisure; he had many things to attend to.
There is plenty of land; you can choose whichever type you prefer.
However, if this opportunity is missed, it is very likely that my father will be in danger, and I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life
Thank you. Lin Yanran's heart, which had been in suspense, can finally be set at ease
Qin Shi looked at the still immature Jiuyang Grass, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart. It seems that the environment of this village is indeed quite good. If this Jiuyang Grass is nurtured slowly, it will surely improve in quality and will be of great help in enhancing his own skills
Qin Shi was taken aback and hurriedly stopped the old man
"Alright, I will pay six months' rent in advance." Qin Shi did not haggle and readily paid the elderly man six months' rent.
"One thousand per month, with a deposit of one thousand." The old man was merely stating his price, thinking that Qin Shi would negotiate, but unexpectedly...
"Is this medicine reliable, Miss?" Old Wang glanced at Lin Yanran in the rearview mirror and noticed that she looked haggard, feeling a bit distressed.
This is it
Old Wang felt that the atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward and wanted to ease the tension
Today, not only did I sell elixirs, but I also unexpectedly encountered the Jiuyang Grass while renting a house, truly a fortunate day
Qin Shi wishes to first observe the arrangement of the room, as this will be beneficial for his future cultivation
Today, as soon as I returned home, he came to visit, feigning concern with a hypocritical demeanor.
Qin Shi believed that the Earth's environment would not support the growth of such a divine herb, yet he did not expect that the old man's backyard would have one, indicating that the spiritual energy and environment here are particularly good
Grandma, I would like to plant some flowers in your yard. Could you give me a piece of land?
If the young man before me is indeed a fraud, he would only deceive himself of a mere few tens of thousands, which I do not care about at all
Finally, I have taken the first step towards the Heavenly Moon Continent. With wealth, one can purchase high-quality medicinal herbs and refine excellent elixirs, and one can also find a quiet place to cultivate...
The elderly man took the money and felt very happy. He enthusiastically wanted to lead Qin around to take a look at the orchard in his backyard.
In order to treat my father, I have been running around for three months, seeking medical help and remedies everywhere, and I am already exhausted.
Lin Yanran has lost all hope regarding her father's condition, as the best hospitals and experts in the world have been unable to determine a diagnosis. With no options left, Lin Yanran can only try every possible method.
Saying this, he immediately issued a check for 30,000 yuan and handed it to Qin Shi
A self-built two-story small building caught Qin Shi's attention, surrounded by relatively high courtyard walls, with two large yards in the front and back. There is a river in front and a large mountain behind the house, and it is located in a remote area, making it an excellent place for cultivation. Coincidentally, there was also a rental advertisement posted on the wall
Thank you, thank you. If my father recovers from his illness, I will certainly express my gratitude abundantly
I heard that there are miraculous elixirs for sale here, and I came to buy some medicine. He insisted on accompanying me with excessive flattery. If it weren't for my father's good health, he would always try to please my father, and I wouldn't have any dealings with him.
"Yes, there is one more room." The old man, seeing that Qin Shi was very polite, warmly invited him in.
Please come this way, sir
This beautiful woman must usually be a young lady of high status, but now she is pleading for her father's illness, making it rare for her to be such a devoted daughter, and I truly cannot bear to refuse her
Qin Shi took the check and went directly to the bank
Carrying 30,000 in cash, Qin Shi felt the heavy weight in his pocket. Without a storage ring, it was truly inconvenient, yet he was still very happy.
Qin Shixian carefully found a flower pot and transplanted the Jiuyang grass into it. He placed it on his windowsill, as he did not want it to be accidentally pulled out by anyone.
"Who are you looking for?" the old man asked, looking at the young man in front of him, his voice aged and frail
Lin Yanran became anxious upon hearing this, as her only hope was pinned on this Qingxin Pill, and she hurriedly explained: "That is not what we meant..."
The old man looked at Qin Shi in confusion, wondering how this child could possibly want to raise a wild grass
Qin Shi is not someone who likes to take advantage of others
Lin Yanran expressed her heartfelt gratitude as if she had received a treasure, carefully taking the brocade box with her. However, before leaving, Li Weiwu cast a fierce glare at Qin Shi.
Qin Shiyi repeatedly cautioned, fearing that Lin Yanran, in her eagerness to save the patient, might take both pills at the same time, which could lead to an excessive effect of the medicine. If, as a result, the patient were to die, he would have to bear the blame.
As she watched the scenery outside the car window rush by, Lin Yanran tightly held the brocade box in her hands, knowing that everything could only rely on a miracle to happen
Lin Yanran observed that Qin Shiyan spoke sincerely and did not take advantage of her. This person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was relatively handsome, appearing to be honest and straightforward, not at all like a fraudster
The room is located on the east side, and it is very spacious and clean, which greatly satisfies Qin Shi. Leaning on the window, he looked at the mountains behind, which are lush and deep, exuding a sense of spirituality
In recent days, Qin Shi has been attending a few classes occasionally, and then going to the library to read books
Yanyan, I find that master to be completely unreliable; nowadays, many young people who are idle and carefree engage in scams.
Li Weiwu continued to glare fiercely at Qin Shi, his expression seemingly conveying: "You liar, I will deal with you later."
Grandma, did you plant this?
When luck arrives, it cannot be stopped
Qin Shi paid him no mind, selling medicine entirely out of Lin Yanran's filial piety. He had seen enough of people like Li Weiwu, who were blind to the obvious, over the past few days
Lin Yanran wore an apologetic expression and said to Qin Shi in a gentle tone: "I am sorry, Master, please do not take it to heart"
Lin Yanran and Li Weiwu got into a black Bentley
"Grandma, don't pull it out. I want to keep it!" It seems that no one in this world recognizes this divine herb
Li Weiwu, as a boyfriend, did not share any burdens with me, nor did he show any concern for my father's illness, and he never took the initiative to visit my father
The greatest fear in cultivation is disturbance; to avoid being disturbed, one must stay away from the city
Lin Yanran lightly furrowed her brows, her face filled with a sense of helplessness, and softly said: "I don't know either, there's nothing I can do, I can only leave it to fate"
Just now, because of that little bit of money, she almost drove the master away, ruining her own important matter of buying medicine; she is currently in no mood to deal with him
Li Weiwu continued to interject: "He is just a fraud, using the tactic of feigning retreat to lure in his prey"
The Jiuyang herb is extremely particular about its growing environment; if the air, soil, and spiritual energy do not meet the growth standards, it will absolutely not germinate
Old Wang has watched Lin Yanran grow up since childhood and has deep feelings for her. He does not particularly like Li Weiwu, and as a servant, he feels that such matters are not for him to comment on
Qin Shihuan, with a calm expression, said to Lin Yanran: "Seeing your filial piety, I will sell you one grain."
Lin Yanran's expression turned cold as she angrily said: "Li Weiwu, shut up. It's my money, and I can spend it however I like; it has nothing to do with you!"
Li Weiwu still believes that Qin Shi is a fraud. At such a young age, how could he possibly possess such miraculous elixirs? What he says is simply too mystical.
At this time, any opportunity that could potentially improve the father's condition will not be missed by oneself
The old man took a look and did not recognize it, saying, "This is probably a wild grass." He reached out to pull it out.
Hmm?
Driver Old Wang is a long-time servant of the Lin family and also a trusted confidant of the Lin family. In recent outings to assist Lin's father with his medical treatment, he has been diligently helping and taking care of matters.
Under the guidance of the beautiful manager, Qin Shishun successfully withdrew 30,000 cash
"Grandma, do you have any houses for rent?" Qin Shi spoke politely to the elderly lady, showing her great respect
Bang! Bang! Bang! Qin Shi knocked three times on the large iron gate
