Chapter 12

Early in the morning, the sky was still dark.

The dewdrops on the leaves were crystal clear. Xiao Changtian had already gotten up and warmed up his body. He opened the door of the small courtyard and was ready to go buy groceries.

With fifteen taels of gold, he would be able to have meat for every meal. It was wonderful.

With a creak, the old wooden door was opened.

“F, Fu… F*ck,” Xiao Changtian was shocked. There was a person lying in front of his door.

He took a closer look and saw that there was a bloody hole in the man’s chest.

“It can’t be that this guy is here to extort us, right?” Xiao Changtian was shocked. He looked around but didn’t see anyone.

After confirming that it wasn’t extortion or framing, Xiao Changtian squatted and checked the person’s pulse.

“He’s still breathing?” Xiao Changtian was overjoyed. Although there was a bloody hole in the other party’s chest as if something had been dug out, whatever happened to the youth didn’t hurt his heart.

With his mastery in medical skills, he determined that this person could still live!

“Jiu’er, come out,” Xiao Changtian shouted.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Mu Jiuhuang quickly came out of the house, still a little sleepy.

She didn’t know why, but since coming to the senior’s small courtyard, she would feel tired. However, when she woke up every morning, she would find that the vital spirit in her dantian seemed to have become more abundant.

“Carry this man into the house, I’ll save him,” Xiao Changtian ordered, thinking that the two of them would carry him together.

Mu Jiuhuang easily picked up the young man with both hands and walked into the small house.

“This little girl looks weak, but she’s unexpectedly strong,” Xiao Changtian looked at Mu Jiuhuang’s back and smiled faintly. In the future, the work of carrying water and chopping wood could be handed over to the girl.

The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he was with her.

“Master, how can we save him? His life is already hanging by a thread,” Mu Jiuhuang placed the young man on the bed and asked in confusion.

She could feel that this young man’s life force was extremely tenacious. There was even a faint golden tinge in his blood, which contained a mysterious power. That was why the young man had been able to survive until now.

But even if she wanted to save him, she couldn’t.

“What’s so difficult about it? Since his heart is not injured, just one surgery will do,” Xiao Changtian said indifferently. With his mastery of medical skills, he would definitely be able to save the youth.

If the other party really couldn’t be saved, there was nothing he could do about it either. He could only do his best and leave it to fate.

What was important was not whether the youth could be saved, but whether he would save him.

Fortunately, he had transmigrated from the Blue Planet and had not lost his heart of morality.

Otherwise, no one would save anyone else in this world of cultivation.

“Surgery?” Mu Jiuhuang was stunned. She had never heard of this before. Could this be some kind of the senior’s divine power?

“Master, what do I need to do?” Mu Jiuhuang asked respectfully.

“You…” Xiao Changtian left all the preparations for the surgery to Mu Jiuhuang.

“Go get some healing pills from the inn. Buy the good ones. Take these fifteen taels of gold,” Xiao Changtian’s heart was bleeding. He had been thinking of improving his life, but the fifteen taels of gold were gone in the blink of an eye.

However, he had no choice. The healing pills at the inn were very effective, though expensive.

“I won’t let you die. But after I save you, you have to pay me twenty taels of gold,” Xiao Changtian looked at the young man lying on the bed with a determined expression.

Not long after, Mu Jiuhuang had prepared everything required for the surgery according to Xiao Changtian’s instructions.

As for the pill, Mu Jiuhuang took out a healing saint pill from the Nine Phoenix Dynasty. After all, the quality of the pills at the inn was simply too poor.

“Wait for my instructions at the side.”

“Yes,” Mu Jiuhuang stood to the side, her face full of curiosity.

This was the first time she had heard the word “surgery”, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Changtian’s movements.

Xiao Changtian slit the young man’s chest open.

“Wha-” Mu Jiuhuang, who was watching from the side, was shocked. The young man was already seriously injured. By doing this, wasn’t the senior killing the young man instead?

However, what happened next shocked her.

After Xiao Changtian finished the series of operations, he sewed up the young man’s chest.

He then fed the young man the healing pill, and the young man began to show signs of life.

“He’ll be able to wake up by tomorrow,” Xiao Changtian said indifferently as he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Even though he had mastered profound medical skills, this was the first time he had performed surgery on someone else. There was a life and twenty taels of gold on his back.

“So this is surgery?” Mu Jiuhuang looked at the young man who was gradually recovering and was shocked.

This method was too magical.

“Alright, you look after him. I’ll go outside and lie down for a while,” Xiao Changtian walked out of the room and laid down on the rocking chair to take a rest.

It was his first surgery, and it was extremely exhausting.

…

The next day, the young man woke up and opened his eyes at noon.

The first thing he saw was Xiao Changtian and Mu Jiuhuang.

“You two saved me?” The young man opened his eyes, his voice extremely weak.

In his mind, endless hatred surged, and his eyes burned with anger.

“Ah!” His emotional fluctuations affected the injuries on his body, causing him to cry out in pain.

“Young man, don’t move around, or the recovery time will be delayed,” Xiao Changtian reminded him. The earlier the other party recovered, the earlier he could get the money.

Twenty gold taels, not a single copper less.

“Alright,” The young man nodded and closed his eyes, temporarily suppressing his anger.

“By the way, what’s your name?” Xiao Changtian asked.

“Ye Fan,” The young man replied calmly. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with gratitude.

“Okay,” Xiao Changtian nodded his head. The young man in front of him didn’t have any spiritual energy fluctuations. It seemed that he was also an ordinary person.

Suddenly, Xiao Changtian’s expression became a little unsightly.

Since the boy was a mortal and was seriously injured, one look and one could tell that he was a poor kid with no money.

The twenty taels of gold were probably down the drain.

“Ding! Detected that the host has saved his first disciple. Reward: Mortal Path Scripture,” The system’s notification suddenly sounded in Xiao Changtian’s mind.

“Is this a celestial path cultivation technique? I can cultivate now?” Xiao Changtian’s face was filled with joy. Could he finally cultivate?

The journey hadn’t been easy!

He was very pleased that the system had finally given him a cultivation technique.

Xiao Changtian immediately flipped open the Mortal Path Scripture and saw all kinds of words on it, which looked extremely profound.

“This…” Looking at the Mortal Path Scripture, Xiao Changtian felt that it was much stronger than the previous Earth Dog Fist.

At the very least, the Mortal Path Scripture in front of him was more normal. It was like the martial arts manuals from his previous life, all of which had pictures of small people.

It was just that Xiao Changtian couldn’t quite understand. The small people drawings on this scripture seemed to be chopping firewood, carrying water, and growing plants. It was simply the work of mortals.

Was this a cultivation technique?

Was it fake?

Xiao Changtian was dumbfounded. He couldn’t understand.

“This…”

Xiao Changtian wanted to curse the system in caps, “F*CK!”

“Also, what the hell? Ye Fan is my first disciple? I’m just a mortal, but I’ve taken in a disciple?” Xiao Changtian questioned the system.

However, after waiting for a long time, all he got in return was the system’s silence.

“F*ck you, don’t call yourself the “Never Cultivate” system anymore. You can just call yourself the “Silent” system,” Xiao Changtian was speechless.
