Chapter 23: The Immortal Master Arrives

  As soon as he heard that a guest had arrived at Yang's house, Yang Fan's heart sank, and he immediately used his Qigong to gather his breath to the extreme.

  In fact, under normal circumstances, Yang Fan looks like a weak and feeble scholar.

  "I am now in Yangjiabao, more isolated than ever before. Except for my brother Yang Lei, I have almost no friends or people worth trusting..."

  Yang Fan took a deep breath, glanced at Yang Hui Xin beside him and smiled: "Sister, let's go home..."

  Yang Hui felt a hint of abnormality in Yang Fan's expression and hastily grabbed her big brother's hand, softly saying: "Big brother, could there be some problem?"

  "It shouldn't be, your younger brother is currently in Yangjia Fortress and is also a prominent figure among the three generations..." Yang Fan explained, then bid farewell to Tie Niu and Nan Gong Yu.

  As long as his younger brother, a late-stage Qi-refining cultivator, is still in Yangjia Village, other idle people shouldn't dare to come and cause trouble.

  "Brother Fan, a fairy master has arrived at Yangjia Village, why don't we go and take a look?"

  Tie Niu's face was filled with expectation, and Nan Gong Yu also had some misgivings.

  They all became very interested upon hearing the name of the immortal master.

  Yang Fan, however, had a gentle expression and said: "There is a distinction between the immortal and the mortal. Some immortals have eccentric personalities, dislike noise, and are unwilling to interact with mortals. Let me go take a look first, if it's someone I know, I can introduce you two later."

  When Yang Fan said this, Tie Niu and Nan Gong Yu had no choice but to temporarily dispel this idea.

  For the immortal masters, they ultimately have a heart of reverence.

  Yang Fan pulled his sister's hand and walked out of Tie Niu's house, only to find that her palm was sweating.

  "Sister... you seem to be afraid?" Yang Fan stopped in his tracks, gazing at the delicate and elegant face before him, where a few threads of worry were clearly visible in her spirited eyes.

  Yang Hui shook her head, gazing at her brother's face and sighed: "I feel the unease in my brother's heart... this is unprecedented."

  Yang Fan was slightly startled in his heart, and his sister actually sensed a hint of unease deep within him.

  This is also unbelievable!

  At this moment, he is a cultivator in the Refining Qi stage. His spiritual realm is much stronger than that of ordinary people. If he deliberately conceals it, ordinary people can't detect his mental changes.

  "Sister, don't worry, nothing will happen......" Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy, in fact, he wasn't worried about his own safety, what he was really worried about was his loved ones.

  Just this hint of unease was detected by Yang Hui.

  "Let's go in!"

  Yang Fan walked into his own hall with his sister, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man wearing very low-key clothes. At first glance, this person made Yang Fan feel familiar.

  "Haha, so it's Brother Lin."

  Yang Fan let out a relaxed breath, with a smile on his face, and walked forward.

  This young man in linen clothes was actually Lin Zhong, who had sent Yang Fan five hundred years of "White Jade Ginseng" at Yangjia Fortress before.

  "Master Yang, it's been two days since we last met, and your complexion has improved a lot."

  Lin Zhong stepped forward enthusiastically, exchanged a smile with him, and then they took their seats separately.

  Seeing these two people really know each other, without any strangeness, Yang Hui's heart was relieved and left the main room with her mother.

  "Yang Gongzi, you've just lost your magical powers and are probably severely injured. I've specially refined a few low-grade 'Supplementing Yuan Dan' pills to express my goodwill."

  Lin Zhong took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Yang Fan.

  Yang Fan knew Lin Zhong's intention and didn't make any polite remarks. He took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.

  He had a general idea of the contents of "The Remaining Volume: The Alchemy Chapter", and at this moment, he made a distinction about the "Primordial Supplement Pill", a relatively ordinary spiritual pill in the cultivation world.

  He observed the spiritual elixir in front of him while diverting a part of his mind to infiltrate the information flow in his brain, browsing through the contents of "Refining Elixir Chapter".

  "Are these few 'Bu Yuan Dan' pills refined by you?"

  Yang Fan asked.

  Lin Zhong was slightly startled: "Not bad, could it be that Young Master Yang also understands the way of alchemy?"

  "It just so happened that after I left Yangjia Village, I fell into a forest and met a strange person. He saw that my qualifications were still good, but I had abandoned my cultivation, and he said it was a pity, so he taught me some medical skills. Of course, as a doctor, one needs to understand pharmacology. Alchemists in the immortal world need to master the art of refining elixirs."

  Yang Fan's expression didn't change as he started to bluff.

  "Yang Gongzi actually had such a strange encounter..." Lin Zhong was half-believing and half-doubting, thinking to himself: "Such good fortune, why didn't it happen to me?"

  But he thought again, his qualifications were ordinary, even if he met a master, others might not pass on their skills to him.

  "This is probably the compensation of heaven, I lost a body of magic power, from now on it's hard to advance on the immortal road, so I can only practice the way of medicine. Fortunately, my innate talent in medicine seems to be even higher."

  Yang Fan sighed softly, with a hint of melancholy on his face.

  "Yang Gongzi has had this strange encounter, and he should have a good fate, but he must not give up on himself."

  Lin Zhong said so with his mouth, but in his heart he was sympathetic.

  Yang Fan of the past, as the first genius of the family, the only one in the third generation to reach the Condensation stage, was the only one who could fly with his sword in the sky.

  At that time, he was so magnificent, admired and yearned for by countless people, and the dream of many girls in their hearts.

  In fact, Lin Zhong had another secret: he was mediocre and a lone cultivator. Yang Fan from the past could be said to be his idol.

  So at this time when Yang Fan first fell, he was also particularly sympathetic.

  However, he also saw hope. The other party was once a strong player in the Condensation Period, and the knowledge and experience of cultivating immortality they possessed must be more than ten times richer than his own.

  "Lin brothers, I have now become a useless person, the glory of the past no longer exists. Except for my relatives, all the cultivators in 'Yangjia Fortress' can only treat me sincerely with you. If you need any help, just mention it."

  Yang Fan smiled and said.

  Lin Zhong's face was filled with memories as he said, "I, Lin Zhong, was once a lone cultivator. Ten years ago, I was an apprentice to an alchemist, tasked with watching the furnace. However, due to my carelessness in refining elixirs, I was expelled from the sect. Afterwards, relying on my limited knowledge of cultivation and techniques, I spent seven or eight years struggling, until I finally entered the Qi Refining stage."

  "It's rare and precious that you can enter the Refining Qi stage through your own exploration without guidance from a master." Yang Fan said with a hint of praise, and couldn't help but look at Lin Zhongnian in a new light.

  Lin Zhong continued: "Yang Gongzi should know that for someone like me with an unknown origin and a low-ranking loose cultivator, most Xianmen forces wouldn't take us in, and some might even look down on us."

  "I have come to your esteemed residence today, not seeking to be taught any cultivation techniques, but only hoping to receive some guidance on my cultivation path."

  Lin Zhong said with a sincere face, his eyes shining with a few threads of hope and longing.

  He understood that as a disciple of the Yang family village, Yang Fan was not allowed to teach his skills to outsiders, so he retreated and sought second best, only hoping that Yang Fan could give him some guidance.

  Yang Fan thought for a moment and said: "From today on, you will live in Yangjia Fortress."

  "Thank you... young master's kindness, I will repay it someday."

  Lin Zhong's face was excited, he stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Fan.

  "You don't have to be like that, teaching you a few simple kung fu moves is easy, and I can even teach you one or two sets of non-Yang-style kung fu if you want. However, there's still something in 'Fog Willow Town' that I need your help with."

  "Please speak up, young master," said Lin Zhong. "If you have any requests, just let us know."

  "As a doctor, I should help people and accumulate medical experience. So, after some time, I will open a clinic in this 'Fog Willow Town'. However, with my own strength alone, I have the heart but not enough power. Now that you're here, it's just right to assist me in fulfilling this wish." Yang Fan said calmly.

  "Opening a medical hall?" Lin Zhong was slightly taken aback and asked: "I don't know, sir, whether the medical hall you're opening is for treating ordinary people or curing immortal masters?"

  There are two kinds of doctors. One is in the secular world, specializing in treating illnesses of ordinary people. However, there is another kind of doctor that transcends the mundane world, and they treat the immortal masters of the cultivation world.

  "Whether good or evil, rich or noble, immortal or mortal, all can be cured."

  Yang Fan said lightly.

  Lin Zhong was slightly startled: "Young Master is indeed different from others, and has such great abilities. Since that's the case, I, Lin, will naturally do my best to help Young Master Yang complete this wish..."

  Yang Fan's mouth corners slightly pursed, if he could successfully open a medical clinic, he would be able to attract a steady stream of injured people and wouldn't have to worry about not being able to improve his cultivation...
