As cultivators, their five senses are much more acute than those of ordinary people.
Even their sixth sense is much stronger.
Before the boy could finish speaking, the hairs on the back of Lu Li's neck stood on end.
It seemed as if some great terror was about to befall us.
My heart trembled, and I was about to ask for clarification when I saw the boy turn and disappear into the crowd.
"This boy... something's not right."
His eyes flickered.
Lu Li subtly activated his magic and followed.
He wanted to ask the boy what he really meant.
In a flash, the young man rushed hurriedly to the backyard of a restaurant.
As soon as the courtyard gate opened, he and a group of ragged beggars swarmed forward.
Scramble for leftover food thrown out of the restaurant.
The boy was thin and weak; he struggled to snatch half a steamed bun.
She didn't eat it, but stuffed it into her bosom.
They hurriedly ran off into the distance.
Lu Li became interested and followed them.
Watching the boy turn left and right, winding his way through the alley, he finally arrived at a lane.
The boy paused, standing at the alley entrance for a long time.
As if hesitating about something, after a brief pause, he suddenly turned and ran off in the opposite direction.
"Huh? What's wrong with him...?"
Lu Li was slightly puzzled.
I can't figure out why the other party is beating around the bush.
I was just about to follow them and take another look.
But then, from the other end of the alley, several shirtless hooligans with tattoos on their arms suddenly passed by.
This scene, as it unfolded before Lu Li's eyes, left him stunned in place.
A hint of horror flickered in his eyes.
"That boy... is he... hiding from those hooligans?"
"How... how did he know they would show up here!"
"This... this is... a coincidence?"
Lu Li was shocked and somewhat incredulous.
Even as a cultivator, he couldn't guess who would be the next to cross the road at that intersection.
Unless you float in the sky and get a clear view, it's meaningless.
But that boy who looked like a beggar... seemed to have gained supernatural insight and foresaw it all.
They just barely avoided a few hooligans.
"What if... what if it wasn't a coincidence."
"If that young man really was a prophet..."
"Then... what he said to me... could it be true?!"
Lu Li's pupils contracted again as he watched the boy's retreating figure, no longer daring to let his guard down.
He quickly gave chase.
He never expected to encounter someone with such extraordinary talent in a mortal city!
"However... if you have such great abilities, why have you fallen to such a state?"
"Even if you don't become a king or prime minister, you should at least have a life of luxury, right?"
Lu Li pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.
We just need to follow them and get a clearer view.
As expected, the boy took a long detour and ended up passing by the same alleyway again.
We arrived at a dilapidated tile-roofed house by the roadside...
"Godmother, I'm back!"
"I've got my meal today. You can have this half-eaten cornbread first. I'll go see if I can finish making the mixed grain rice tomorrow."
"It's Gousheng. Mom isn't hungry, give it to your brother."
An old, frail woman's voice came from the dilapidated tile-roofed house.
Then an even weaker voice followed.
"Brother, you're back..."
"Hmm, little brother, how are you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing his brother's question, the boy, whose voice was even weaker, let out intermittent gasps for breath.
"It's... it's alright... it's just that I can't help my brother anymore recently."
"It's alright, I didn't do anything today, nothing will happen."
The boy, nicknamed Gousheng, comforted his younger brother.
He broke the half-eaten cornbread in his hand in half again and handed it out.
I found a reasonably spacious corner to sit down, grabbed a tattered pillow, and sat down.
"Bang!"
The next second.
The boy who had just been speaking suddenly collapsed to the ground.
His forehead hit the tattered pillow that had been placed there beforehand.
"Elder brother!"
" Gousheng? Gousheng!"
"Go check on Goudan quickly, your brother's had another attack, be careful he doesn't hurt his head."
The woman's anxious voice rang out.
The weaker boy quickly propped himself up and moved to Gousheng's side.
Although he had fallen to the ground, there was a pillow under his forehead.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Don't worry, Mother, my brother's head is fine, he's just had another attack."
"I probably won't recover until midnight."
"You should eat quickly, I'll stay with my brother."
They struggled to help Gousheng up.
Goudan needed to catch his breath; the series of movements he had just made his already weak body even weaker.
But before he could lie down, a figure in white robes suddenly appeared before him.
The newcomer was slender and possessed an ethereal air.
A white robe fluttered in the wind.
He looked like a hermit immortal.
"Who are you?"
Upon seeing this, Goudan's eyes widened in surprise.
He had never seen such a handsome and otherworldly person.
Even the wealthiest lords in the county town couldn't compare to him.
My name is Lu Li.
Let me see your brother.
Lu Li gave a smile that he tried to make as kind as possible.
Before Goudan and the woman could agree, he waved his sleeve and led the boy who had fallen to the ground to his side.
This move also stunned the two onlookers.
He dared not speak again.
They simply assumed they had encountered a celestial being descended to earth.
"The five senses are shut down... life is slipping away..."
"How could a mere mortal possess such strange phenomena?"
He ignored the horrified looks on the faces of the two people beside him.
Lu Li extended his Spiritual Power and circulated it within Gousheng's body.
His brows furrowed slightly.
In his perception, he could clearly feel Gousheng's life slowly slipping away.
Although few in number, they were quite noticeable.
He was not in a coma, but rather in a state of confinement.
"Lu... Immortal... Are you an immortal?!"
"Please help my brother!"
Just as Lu Li was pondering, the boy called Goudan interrupted his thoughts.
He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, but his eyes seemed to know something.
Do you know about your brother's situation?
"I... I know some."
"Oh, then tell me."
"This... this... my mother is unwell, could the immortal take me to a secluded place?"
For some reason, Goudan felt an innate affinity for Lu Li.
In a daze, he couldn't help but want to reveal the secret so that this immortal could save his brother.
As long as my brother and his strange illness can be cured, it doesn't matter if I don't have the ability in the future.
"Just want to live like a normal person," she said, looking at Lu Li with anticipation.
"No problem!"
He nodded.
Lu Li used a Lightness Technique to sweep the two boys away and disappear from the dilapidated house.
The woman was left behind, her face filled with anxiety...
"Whoosh!"
Half an incense stick later, Lu Li's figure suddenly turned around again.
The two boys from before were not with him.
He seemed much more excited than before.
A deep sense of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Immortal... Immortal Master!"
My child...
The woman seemed to know of the cultivator's existence, and changed her address to "Immortal Master."
Lu Li of his daze, suppressing the excitement he felt from discovering the secret.
He looked at the woman.
"You two adopted sons wish to become my disciples."
"From now on, I will embark on the path of cultivation, and we will meet again someday if fate allows."
"This letter was left by the two of them, along with this money and provisions; you can keep it for yourself."
Lu Li didn't say anything more.
He reached into his Storage Bag, pulled something out, and slipped away.
He seemed extremely excited, and was muttering something to himself.
"A divine being! A divine being!"
"I never expected to encounter such a prodigy here!"
