Accompanying Her
However, this Jade Wave Hot Spring cannot completely repair the Dantian. No matter how long you soak in it, it can only repair the very surface layer at most.
But the Dantian is not just a single, superficial layer.
Having only a superficial Dantian means that such a person is not much different from an ordinary person.
However, the path of cultivation could no longer be continued.
Nevertheless, Liu Chun was very happy and grateful when he heard that the Yuan Household was willing to lend Jade Wave Hot Spring.
He doesn't ask for much now, he just hopes his sister can wake up and stay alive.
So the group packed up and wrapped Liu Qin up tightly in layers of clothing to make sure she wasn't exposed to any wind or bumps, and then immediately boarded Liao Pantu's spirit boat and flew to the back mountain of the Yuan Household.
At this time, the guards at the entrance to the back mountain of the Yuan Household had been temporarily reassigned by Yuan Bi.
After confirming that no one was around, Lin Xiao landed.
Yuan Bi came out to greet them, and then said:
"Would you like someone to accompany you? If so, I can make some arrangements."
Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu turned to look at Liu Chun, who was holding Liu Qin.
Liu Chun pondered for a moment, then asked Yuan Bi somewhat hesitantly:
"Master Yuan Household, may I, as your companion, perhaps create a talisman here?"
Yuan Bi didn't recognize Liu Chun, and was somewhat surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected that this fellow Daoist was actually a talisman master.
So he nodded repeatedly and said:
"Why not? There's a small hut by the hot spring. It's a bit simple, but it's quiet. If you'd like to stay and keep me company, just let me know if you need anything. I'll send my daughter to inquire about it periodically."
He indicated that he would have his daughter inquire about it, rather than through servants, meaning that the matter would never be revealed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chun looked at Lin Xiao and said:
"Finally, I have a solution, fellow Daoist. Then I..."
Seeing that he seemed unsure how to speak to him without letting Yuan Bi know their relationship as sect leader and elder, Lin Xiao immediately spoke up:
"Just stay here and stay with your sister. Don't worry about anything else."
Liu Chun nodded gratefully, and then, led by Yuan Bi, carried Liu Qin into the back mountain.
They finally stopped when they were almost at the top of the mountain.
This place faces away from the main residence of the Yuan Household, and below it is a field belonging to the Yuan Household.
From here, you can't overlook the main residence of the Yuan Household; you can only see the Yuan Household's vast fields of spiritual energy.
Yuan Bi led them around a stone forest, then pushed open a door beside them and turned to Liu Chun, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't be offended. Only my daughter and I can open this place. Once you're inside, it might not be easy for you to come and go. Please take this jade talisman. If you need anything, just use this talisman to contact me."
As he spoke, he handed Liu Chun an ordinary-looking jade talisman.
This kind of jade talisman is quite common in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Although it is not particularly cheap, cultivators with some wealth usually use it to communicate with people they frequently contact.
Liu Chun naturally recognized the jade talisman; he nodded and accepted it without saying anything.
After all, he had only come to the Yuan Household to help his sister recover from her illness. They were a prominent and influential family, and it wouldn't be appropriate to let an outsider like him come and go as he pleased.
That's good. It distances us from any potential issues, so if anything unexpected happens, he won't be suspected, and it's less likely for conflicts to arise.
Seeing that he had no objection to this, Yuan Bi thought to himself: As expected of Fellow Daoist Lin, he is a very sensible person.
After leading people into his own area of Jade Wave Hot Spring pool, Yuan Bi gave Liu Chun a detailed introduction to the place.
There's not much to introduce here. It's a small place with just a pond and a rather exquisitely built bamboo house next to it. That's all.
"Fellow Daoist, you may place your sister directly into this hot spring."
"I will have my daughter bring the talisman-making platform to you shortly. Please make yourselves at home for a while."
Liu Chun quietly acknowledged and thanked them.
Looking around and feeling that everything should be alright, Yuan Bi bid farewell to Liu Chun and left.
He sent a message to Yuan Zhiyun, who had just returned from visiting the Talisman Master Assembly a few days ago, asking her to send a talisman-making platform and some daily necessities for cultivators to his Jade Wave Hot Spring.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhiyun, who received his message, was quite surprised and said:
"Liu Chun? He's a talisman master?"
Yuan Bi, puzzled by her tone, asked:
What's wrong with this person?
Yuan Zhiyun on the other end said:
"Father, didn't I tell you before that a dark horse emerged at this year's Talisman Master Assembly? It's said that he used to be a retainer in the Wu Household, and later caused the incident with the Execution Stone Powder at the Talisman Master Assembly. That talisman master actually ranked thirty-ninth. His name is Liu Chun."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bi was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a friend of Fellow Daoist Lin.
Moreover, the two seem to have a very close relationship.
He had originally thought that since a powerful talisman master had appeared in Yuanling City, he should try to get to know him, but he never expected that the person would already be in their home.
"Please keep an eye on Fellow Liu Chun. Try your best to meet any needs he may have. I have other matters to attend to here, so I'll have to go now."
After saying that, he ended the conversation and returned to his study.
At this moment, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu had already been brought here by Yuan Qing to wait.
Upon seeing Yuan Bi return, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu stood up to express their gratitude.
Yuan Bi quickly replied:
"Please, both of you, have a seat. We won't stand on ceremony. To be honest, the Jade Wave Hot Spring can't offer much help; at most, it can keep Miss Liu's life safe. As for her future cultivation, we're powerless to do anything about it..."
Lin Xiao sat down in the guest seat and smiled:
"Yuan Household, you flatter me. It's good enough that you've survived. We'll figure out what to do about your Dantian. Fellow Daoist Liu Chun and his sister are here, so we hope Yuan Household will take good care of them."
To be honest, we come from a small, remote sect. Our address isn't very close to Yuanling City, so it's not always convenient for us to come over. But we try to send someone to visit them every two or three months."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bi was somewhat surprised.
I never expected they were from the same sect.
He had initially thought that Fellow Daoist Lin and his companions were disciples of some Aristocratic Clan traveling around.
However, I had previously heard that Liu Chun had become Rogue Cultivator, but I didn't expect that he had actually joined a sect.
Lin Xiao told him this after considering various factors.
Since we've agreed to be friends, we can't keep things from each other.
Saying that you come from a small sect won't have much of an impact.
Furthermore, Lin Xiao had some other ideas.
Revealing this identity would make his future actions and interactions with the Yuan Household easier.
Upon hearing Lin Xiao mention that their sect would regularly send people to Yuanling City, Yuan Bi thought for a moment and then asked:
"Does your sect intend to do business in Yuanling City?"
