Chapter 61: The cure for the old man.

The reason why they live in this of environment is to escape from pursuers, mainly.

And other thing is to live undisturbed, enjoying the peaceful life in mundane world.

Rather than the cities, the slums give a meaning of life. The people living in the slums suffer everyday. They know what is the importance of life and importance of resources rather than the rich second generations who lavishly spend their money on useless things.

Slum people only buy what they need whereas the rich generation buys what gets their attention.

Its easy to fool them and rip off their money very easily.

But can they escape their fate? It also depends on their fateful encounter of treasures or either certain resources.

The world is vast and treasures are scattered everywhere, but who is the the fateful one? It's like finding the needle in a haystack.

No one knows how many years it may take. It may take several years or millions or billions or trillions of years to find the fated one.

These old fellows sighed. They hoped that the people are not arrogant nor overbearing, so that the people can live in harmony.

The world of cultivation requires Spirit foods not ordinary food. Because the Spirit foods contains aura, it's hard to maintain the fields. It requires very good maintenance, free from insects and other bugs which feeds on the Spirit foods. Also requires healthy seeds to produce high yields.

The intake of Spirit food is large and unable to feed the cultivators in this world. That's why people in the cultivational world hunt spirit beasts for meat and other rare herbs which contains unimaginable aura.

Consuming meat of spirit beasts and rare herbs relieves their hunger.

Alot of resources are also required for the Cultivation of Spirit Crops. It is not an easy task to handle it.

The people living in the slum rejoiced since they are going to escape poverty.

Wen Yao, Xin and the eccentric old man stood up to leave not wanting to disturb their enjoyment.

They walked a few steps when an middle-aged man, looking like an ferocious barbarian walked towards them

Wen Yao and Xin didn't think much and they strode forward bravely.

But the eccentric old man stopped his footsteps for awhile and hurriedly walked towards the middle-aged man.

"Haha...." They both hugged each other and laughed.

Seeing both men hugging and laughing each other, both Wen Yao and Xin stopped their tracks and waited for them to finish the conversation.

"Old man Zong, I knew you would be alive." The eccentric old man said to the middle-aged man.

"Haha... . Old man Ku, I knew you also would be alive. But I didn't think that you would be working in this Xian Buxiu restaurant. If I knew that you were working there, I wouldn't live in the slums till now!" The middle-aged man named Zong said sadly reminiscing about the past.

Seeing the change on middle-aged man Zong's expression, old man Ku changed the topic, "So where have you been living all these years? Where is the old man?"

Asking about the place and the old man, the middle-aged man Zong, sighed. He shook his head, opened his mouth but closed his mouth without any words.

Seeing him wanting to say something and suddenly closing his mouth, old man Ku changed his expression from friendly to anger and he knew how dangerous the situation it is in. He couldn't do anything unless he have worldly treasures.

Seems like the old man is at the end of the road.

Old man Zong, after keeping quiet for sometime, uttered some words, "Let's go visit him!"

Their episode didn't effect Xin and Wen Yao.

Seeing the middle-aged man Zong and old man Ku going together, diverting the original path, Xin pointed them to Wen Yao with his fingers and asked: "Wanna follow them?"

"Let's follow them. After all, he is still an employee of my Xian Buxiu restaurant, I still owe him a favour of saving my restaurant. Till now I didn't know his name." Wen Yao thought carefully and replied.

"You didn't know his name till now?" Xin patted his forehead with his hands.

Wen Yao nonchalantly replied back, "Before I don't know, but now I know."

Xin shook his head not wanting to bother, still he muttered, "What a mysterious being!"

Following them along the road, they walked passed many slum areas and came to an old dilapidated hut, which even the sunlight can pass through.

It seemed that the hut had been long torn due to years of climatic weathers.

The hut, if sudden storm comes, it will be torn apart. That's how bad is the hut, the Old man is living in now.

Walking inside, they saw an old man lying on a wodden relaxing chair, creaking front and back.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "I see, you have bought some friends, Old man Ku."

Old man Ku didn't mind. He and middle-aged man Zong already knew that both Xin and Wen Yao were following them and walked in.

Old man Ku suppressed his emotions and said, "Old man Xi, it's been a long time."

Old man Xi opened his eyes slowly, having a smile on his face, "Indeed, Old man Ku. How many years has its been since we last met?"

After saying this sentence, he coughed out some blood from his mouth and noses.

The blood spat out gave out an stinky smell.

Old man Ku, frowned his face and walked up then held the hand of Old man Xi and took his pulse.

His face further frowned unable to further examine his body.

As a cultivator, one can sense normal diseases by taking the pulse of an sick person. Their sense travels further parts in the human body which gives perfect combination of their understanding.

But no one is trustworthy unless they are an very close aid of them and they study on their own to find their own cure by reading numerous books of medical knowledge.

Yet it's very hard to get the books of medicine of ancient era. And very hard to understand.

How can it be so simple? It requires numerous understanding of each and every part of human body, considering the fact that the books they got are in complete structure without missing any details.

One mistake, life is at their end.

"Hehe.., Kiddo, it's about time you help this old man to cure. And it's also a test of how much understanding you have gained learning the knowledge of medicine from me."

The voice came so suddenly, that Xin shook his head. It was the voice of the freaky - 'Alchemy-Pharmacists- Acupunture-Planting', Bu Zhan.

No wonder he wanted to test him. It's as if saying go and suffer without any knowledge.
