Chapter 375: Brother, It’s Time to Take Your Medicine
"Big brother, it’s time to take your medicine..."
In the peach grove, suffused with a faint floral fragrance, Li Muyang, groggy, opened his eyes and accepted the herbal soup handed over by Little Wild Grass.
The soup, colorful and vibrant, didn’t possess the foul smell typical of most herbal concoctions, but was instead pleasantly sweet and fragrant.
Scattered peach petals floated on the surface of the soup.
After drinking the soup, Li Muyang suddenly coughed loudly.
"Um... what’s... what’s happening to me?"
He looked around at the peach grove with confusion, feeling an inexplicable familiarity.
This damned place looks just like the Immortals’ burial ground...
But wasn’t he supposed to have exited the game "Dragonkin’s Awakening" and now should be in "Fatal Wild Grass" doing daily quests with Little Wild Grass?
How did he end up in this peach grove?
Li Muyang was baffled.
Behind Little Wild Grass, a gentle female voice sounded.
"You suddenly fell ill with a serious sickness, so I brought you to my home for treatment..."
This woman’s voice, he had never heard it before.
Li Muyang instinctively looked up, his gaze moving past Little Wild Grass to her background.
There, in the bamboo forest, stood a breathtakingly beautiful Immortal.
She held a peach blossom staff, her smile gentle, and she was as beautiful as an Immortal depicted in paintings.
However, as their eyes met, Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat.
—This woman looked exactly like the Immortal’s remains he had seen in the game CG at the Immortals’ burial site!
Damn it!
Had Little Wild Grass really traveled back ten thousand years to meet the Immortal from beyond the border?
Little Wild Grass then introduced, "Big brother, this is the Peach Blossom Immortal, the one who saved you."
Little Wild Grass was quite grateful.
Li Muyang, however, fell silent and instinctively opened his character log.
"Fatal Wild Grass" progressed through plots too swiftly, glossing over many minor subplots and systems.
Sometimes he was overlooking the sea of clouds atop a mountain, and the next moment he would find himself arguing with someone in city streets. @@novelbin@@
Whenever an unfamiliar scenario appeared and he was unsure of its causes and consequences, Li Muyang would check his character log.
But this time, he had miscalculated.
The mission log was blank; the last record was him listening to an Immortal preaching on Yangshou Mountain.
After that, there were no more records, and he was unaware of how he fell sick or came to this place.
Seeing Li Muyang’s astonished expression, Little Wild Grass began to explain.
"Big brother, you fainted and suddenly fell ill while you were listening to me debate with the old Immortal on Yangshou Mountain."

"Fortunately, the Peach Blossom Immortal was visiting the old Immortal. She, being highly skilled in medicine, took us to her home and has been carefully treating you. That’s why you have just awakened, big brother."
Little Wild Grass narrated the situation.
Li Muyang finally understood the causes and consequences, but was still curious.
"I was listening to you guys, and then I suddenly fell critically ill? Needing an Immortal’s help to be saved?"
Li Muyang was confused, "What disease do I have?"
Ordinary diseases would simply require Little Wild Grass to apply some Spiritual Energy to cure.
After all, Spiritual Energy can enhance vitality, and there’s hardly any illness that vitality cannot heal on its own.
This disease that neither Little Wild Grass nor an old Immortal of Yangshou Mountain could handle, and that required the Peach Blossom Immortal’s treatment at her home... Could it be that his character had developed cancer?
Or some illness even more severe than cancer?
But there were no signs before, so how did he suddenly fall critically ill?
Li Muyang found it strange.
Little Wild Grass and the Peach Blossom Immortal exchanged glances, and the Peach Blossom Immortal sighed softly and quietly left.
In the peach grove, only Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass remained.
The two looked at each other, Little Wild Grass hesitated slightly but eventually spoke frankly.
"... It is your Eye of Spiritual Sight, Big Brother."
"When you left Black Cloud Fort all those years ago, Big Brother, you looked directly at the Ancient Evil God with your bare eyes, activating the evil vein power within you and acquiring the Eye of Spiritual Sight."
"This is a cursed power, the more you use the Eye of Spiritual Sight, the closer you get to the Ancient Evil God, and your soul will also become tainted."
"Although over the years, I’ve taken you around to travel and to collect the spiritual energy from various land nodes to counter the invasion and pollution of the evil god, I still can’t completely protect you from the erosion by the Eye of Spiritual Sight."
As Little Wild Grass spoke, she sighed, "This time, the accumulation of evil power burst forth at once, nearly taking away your senses."
"Luckily, the Peach Blossom Immortal is skilled in medicine and has previously confronted the Ancient Evil God, understanding that kind of evil power, and she managed to save you."
Little Wild Grass spoke softly.
Li Muyang was momentarily stunned and somewhat bewildered.
"Eye of Spiritual Sight..."
Damn, was the Eye of Spiritual Sight, which wasn’t exempt from the system’s costs, so terrifying?
"Is there still hope for me?" Li Muyang asked Little Wild Grass in front of him.
He had thought that traveling around was her hobby, but now he realized, was Little Wild Grass dragging him around to help treat his illness?
Thinking of this, Li Muyang suddenly realized something else.
"You’ve been unable to become an immortal all this time; could it be because of me?"
Little Wild Grass had been only a step away from the immortal realm more than a decade ago.
But even after a decade, she was still stuck at that level.
Initially, he thought Little Wild Grass had hit a bottleneck, but now Li Muyang suspected, was it because of him that she couldn’t achieve immortality?
Li Muyang vaguely seemed to grasp the core information of the fourth phase.
However, Little Wild Grass shook her head and said, "Your illness indeed affected my state of mind, but not significantly."
"My delay in becoming an immortal has other reasons."
Little Wild Grass seemed not to want to talk about this matter, quickly moving past the topic.
"The Peach Blossom Immortal said, the soul’s erosion is hard for her to eliminate."
"But the Demon Race in Yellow Wind Valley are deeply familiar with the corruption of evil influences, and she suggested we visit Yellow Wind Valley."
"Coincidentally, you have the Yellow Wind Order, Big Brother, so let’s stay here at the Peach Blossom Immortal’s place for a few more days, and then go to Yellow Wind Valley, which fortunately is on this land as well."
Originally, in the third phase of the game, Li Muyang had helped the demon Wei Sandao flee the Ten Thousand Mountains, escaping the pursuit of the Evil God.
Back then, Wei Sandao had given him a Yellow Wind Order, which he hadn’t expected would come in handy now.
"The Demon Race of Yellow Wind Valley can cure it?" Li Muyang was quite surprised.
He hadn’t heard that these Monsters had such an ability.
In response, Little Wild Grass managed a wry smile and nodded, "If it weren’t for the Peach Blossom Immortal telling me, I would never have guessed."
"Apparently, the ancestors of the Yellow Wind Valley Demon Race had once fought side by side with the evil vein tribe and were allies."
"Perhaps Wei Sandao had seen your affliction back then and guessed that you might fall ill in the future, so he deliberately left the Yellow Wind Order for you to find him."
Li Muyang recollected the content of the game at that time and sighed without words.
"This Wei Sandao, although a mama’s boy, has quite a sense of loyalty..."
Yet this place unexpectedly turns out to be where an Immortal had been buried many millennia after his entrance.
He stood up in the peach grove and looked at the blooming peach blossoms in front of him, narrowing his eyes, and said.
"Since we’ve come, let’s stroll around in the Peach Blossom Immortal’s Immortal Realm."
Just consider it scouting and familiarizing myself with the terrain of the expansion beforehand.
