Chapter 12

Saving Lives and Healing the Wounded

"Great! Finally, we'll have a cultivator in our family."

"Little sister, we must also diligently practice the Wild Bull Technique and strive to become cultivators as soon as possible!"

"Um!"

The good news that Shen Yi had successfully entered the Qi and Blood Realm greatly excited Shen Kun and Shen Yuan.

Seeing their excited and joyful expressions, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile:

"Alright! Let's work together, the three of us siblings, to survive in this cruel world!"

"Yes, brother!"

The three siblings chatted for a while.

Shen Yi turned around and went to the water vat.

I noticed that the water tank was almost empty.

"Big brother, I'll go fetch some water and come back," Shen Kun said as he walked over.

"No need. You just need to focus on practicing your skills. I'll take care of everything else."

Shen Yi shook his head.

If he could have two more Qi and Blood Realm experts as helpers, his situation would be greatly improved.

At that time, they can go to Montenegro together to find more folk materials.

Moreover, it can also hunt down powerful monsters.

A single piece of demon beast meat can provide cultivators with a large amount of energy, which is incomparable to the meat of ordinary wild animals.

The members of the hunting team ate monster meat for every meal.

Therefore, they made rapid progress in their cultivation and were able to break through to the middle stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, or even the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm.

In Shen Yi's memories.

He heard his parents' desire for monster meat more than once.

He would often mention that the hunting team had received a lot of monster meat today.

Why are Mr. and Mrs. Shen still only at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm after all these years?

That's because there's no nourishment from the flesh of demon beasts!

Those who only eat the meat of ordinary wild animals will have a much slower cultivation speed compared to others.

Therefore, hunting monsters is imperative.

If his two younger siblings could also reach the Qi and Blood Realm, he would be able to hunt monsters more easily.

After letting the two of them continue practicing, Shen Yi picked up a few large buckets and quickly went out the door.

The Shen family's house is located on the west side of Heishan Village, in a rather remote area.

There were only two households near their home.

One household was a widow surnamed Guan, and the other was a family of six surnamed Yang.

Most of the other villagers are gathered in the eastern and southern parts of the village.

Shortly after Shen Yigang left, one of the houses had its door open and happened to see him walk by.

The people inside the room were stunned.

It was as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

She quickly walked out of the courtyard and discovered that the person was indeed Shen Yi.

Guan Yue saw the other person carrying several large buckets, walking steadily towards the well.

He couldn't help but mutter:

"This kid, he's still alive?"

……

Shen Yi did not notice the other party.

He soon passed by another house.

I saw an auntie feeding chickens at the entrance.

The other party spotted him immediately.

The auntie didn't even bother to say hello; she came over in a fluster and closed the door.

"..."

Shen Yi chuckled.

I guess they don't want to have anything to do with their family.

I was afraid of being entangled by the three siblings.

Shen Yi didn't seem to care.

After all, as far as he knew, this family wasn't doing very well in the village.

Aunt Yang has not yet reached the Qi and Blood Realm, and her husband is only at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

The couple had three sons and one daughter. Two of the children were still young, while the eldest son and daughter had only recently joined the third hunting team.

The family didn't get much meat each day; it was just enough to make ends meet.

Their conditions were actually much worse than those of the Shen family.

Shen Yi didn't pay much attention and soon arrived at the village's well.

Heishan Village has only one well.

Everyone in the village who wants to drink water has to come here to fetch it.

At this time, there were still many people around the well, all queuing up to draw water.

Upon seeing Shen Yi appear, many people showed a slightly strange expression.

Shen Yi quickly fixed his gaze on a middle-aged man in the crowd with thinning gray hair.

A murderous intent surged within him.

Sun Wen!

Sun Wen had just finished fetching water and was grinning as he prepared to leave.

As she turned around, her eyes met Shen Yi's.

The smile on his face froze for a moment.

Beneath his white beard, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Pharmacist Sun, what a coincidence, you're here to fetch water too?" Shen Yi smiled with delight and walked towards him.

"Yes...yes," Sun Wen replied guiltily, intending to make up a few words and leave.

But then he heard Shen Yi say to him with a tone full of gratitude:

"Pharmacist Sun, thank you so much for those five healing pills, otherwise I might be dead by now!"

"Shen Yi will never forget Pharmacist Sun's life-saving grace, and will definitely repay Pharmacist Sun handsomely in the future!"

"No need. After all, I am the only pharmacist in the village. Saving lives is what I should do."

Sun Wen stopped and looked at Shen Yi.

Knowing what Liu Wanhe and his group had done, he didn't intend to leave Shen Yi and his siblings any way out.

They exchanged all the meat for just five healing pills for the three siblings.

Unexpectedly, several days have passed.

Shen Yi was actually still alive.

Moreover, this kid seemed completely oblivious to his true intentions.

He even expressed his gratitude to himself with a look of appreciation.

I really don't know what he was thinking.

In any case, it's always better to stay away from him.

Sun Wen waved to Shen Yi, then quickened his pace and hurried away.

Saving lives and healing the wounded?

"Heh—" Shen Yi stared at his departing figure, a cold laugh escaping his lips.

I'll have to settle this score with him sooner or later.

Soon.

The people ahead of us have already finished getting their water and left.

Shen Yi did not waste any time.

After filling several large buckets with water, they carried them home.

on the way back.

Aunt Yang's door was still tightly closed.

However, unexpectedly...

Shen Yi saw a beautiful young woman sitting outside the door of another house.

Upon seeing him return, Guan Yue immediately stood up and smiled, "Shen Yi, you're back from fetching water?"

"Yes." Shen Yi nodded.

"Here, this ten catties of meat is for you. Take it back and the three of you siblings can eat it together." Guan Yue picked up a basket at her feet.

"No need, Sister Guanyue, we have plenty of meat at home right now," Shen Yi said with a smile.

Although they lived close to Guan Yue, they didn't have much contact.

"Okay, whatever you want. Just let me know if you need more meat."

Guan Yue didn't force her.

After watching Shen Yi say goodbye and leave, she returned to the courtyard.

He pulled a palm-sized stone disc from his pocket and noticed a red line on it, his eyes flickering.

"This kid is something else. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death just a few days ago, and now he has actually entered the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm."

"Could it be that his potential was unleashed in his final moments?"

……

Night fell quickly.

Heishan Village fell into silence.

A well-trained team quickly emerged from the village.

They ignored the lantern ghosts that surrounded them and did not waste their energy dealing with them.

Instead, they headed purposefully deeper into the Black Mountain range.
