The Hundred Herbs Clan was located by a river in a valley in southwestern China.
This area was not well-known among cultivation circles, but it was prominent among regular folks.
In the fourth year and first month of Shenyuan, most parts of China sank into midwinter.
However, this place was still covered in greenery and vibrant with flora and fauna. Occasionally, some fishes would leap out of the river, but no one was able to catch them.
Ren Ruofeng was chatting with an elderly man in a hemp outfit over tea.



Hundred Herbs Physician, medicines are priorities in this large-scale migration. We need to rely on the efforts of your clan this time.
He said politely.

Sigh, this is a sin. These gods are so cruel. It was like this back in their prime. They have finally gotten a new place to live, yet they’re so heartless and force innocent residents out of their homes. I feel so ashamed of allying with them.
The old man in the hemp outfit was filled with remorse.
Ren Ruofeng let out a sigh, too. This kind-hearted Descended One, who harbors extraordinary healing powers, was a benevolent man not unlike Bodhisattva.
Unfortunately, deities like him were extremely rare. Most deities consisted of false gods like the Indian Trinity that treated humans like pieces of meat and those like the God of Plagues and the Golden Deity that viewed human lives as insignificant insects.

You don’t have to feel this way. There are good and evil humans and there are also benevolent and malevolent gods. This is the way of the world. We humans aren’t foolish and we can still tell these differences apart. In all your years of service, you have saved countless lives and you don’t have to blame yourself for these ruthless gods.
Ren Ruofeng consoled him.
This was the most effective strategy to achieve unity. He could not generalize the other person’s character simply because of his background. On the contrary, severing the bonds between the Upper Realm deities was the way to go.
An expression of relief crossed the old man’s face. It was indeed a mark of progress and civilization to have a wise man with control over the entire situation.
If a bunch of fools was in charge, they would probably blame the Descended Ones like him, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
This type of situation was rather normal. How were regular humans able to tell things apart? If they could not beat the gods, they would vent their anger onto the weaker ones of the Upper Realm.

Thank you for your kind words, Oldman Ren. If you need this geezer’s help, just let me know. About the migration issue, once the passage is built, I’ll personally lead my disciples and become the first batch to set foot on the planet. We’ll inspect the living conditions over there.
The Hundred Herbs Geezer proposed.


Ren Ruofeng held his fists and saluted the old man in gratitude.
In spite of the abundance of malevolent demons, spirits and deities in the Upper Realm, there were also a few of such kind-hearted individuals.
This was normal. Bodhisattva even appeared among the Asuras, so what about the boundless Upper Realm?
Although most people were selfish, there were a few exceptions whose greatest joy came from serving others in return for respect.
These exceptional fellows were, in fact, the only hope of a clan. If no such individuals existed in a clan, it would never regain its strength and power after its downfall.
After thanking the old man, Ren Ruofeng spoke again.
Don’t worry about the passage. The Venerable Dragon God and the River God of Sky River are hard at work on this matter. I believe in less than half a year, the passage will finish construction and the planet will be able to open its doors to us.


Mm, that’s good. The Venerable Dragon God is a compassionate person, indeed, but the River God? Huh, he’s a crooked old fellow, but I didn’t expect him to be so reliable this time around.
The elderly man in the hemp outfit chuckled.
Ren Ruofeng laughed as well. The River God used to make huge demands last time, but he understood that the god had just descended to Earth and was in desperate need of resources. It was also a matter of survival, so it hardly had anything to do with daylight robbery.
They were talking when the air around them suddenly shifted.
Without warning, Vigilante A and Gu Buwei showed up in the valley.


Eh, powerhouses did have the ability of Soul Sensing, luckily he did not say anything bad… Ren Ruofeng thought.

Venerable One, you’ve traveled far. What’s the matter?
He went up to ask.
The elderly man stood up as well and smiled.
Vigilante A walked towards them and introduced Gu Buwei.
Elder Ren, Master of the Hundred Herbs Clan, I’ve come personally to seek assistance on the malady at the Azure Mountain.


Oh, really? The thing is, I’m currently busy with the migration issue and I hardly have the time for this.
The Hundred Herbs Geezer’s expression suddenly changed and he responded blandly.
He had, of course, heard of the Azure Mountain’s reputation of being an oppressive clan and knew that this was not a compassionate place.
He was a helpful and selfless person, but he would not side himself with evil-doers.

It’s alright. I heard that your clan has a disciple that goes by the surname of Qi who’s well-versed in the art of healing. I would like her to assist me. Naturally, the physician’s fee can be discussed, right, Master Gu?
Vigilante A turned towards Gu Buwei.
Gu Buwei nodded.
Absolutely. Our clan might not be well off, but we still have the means to pay you. We’ll make sure that both of you are satisfied.

The Hundred Herbs Geezer frowned, then nodded.
In that case, I’ll order my disciples to accompany you. Nonetheless, I shall remind you that this disaster is usually caused by a lack of morals. I know that in the past, good people were also harmed. Now, the Heavenly Axiom has revealed itself. Doing good deeds and having a long and healthy life is not impossible.



Gu Buwei needed help from others, so he could only nod and accept this sudden lecture in silence.
Obviously, he knew what kind of men his fellow disciples were. Frankly, most of the men deserved to be ill.
Accusing all members of the Azure Mountain of being evil was a bit too much, but saying that the clan lacked kindness and empathy was not far-fetched.
As for him, he never committed any bad deeds, but neither did he do anything commendable. He only maintained a neutral position and handled matters as they were.
When the Hundred Herbs Geezer finished his lecture, he lifted a finger and a grass talisman burst in flames.
After a while, a woman dressed in green shuffled out of the valley. It was Qi Yan.
Her movements were graceful and delicate. She used to be a beauty, and now, with her successful training in healing, she acquired the otherworldly aura of a goddess, but without the coolness, and seemed less like a regular human being.
Qi Yan gazed straight ahead and a person that she missed for a long time was present in the valley along with her master.
Her heart skipped a beat and she began to mess up her footsteps. At last, she forced herself to calm down.
At any rate, she was an experienced cultivator and would not lose her composure over romantic feelings.



Greetings, master.
She walked near them and greeted the Hundred Herbs Geezer.

Hmm, not bad. Your
Hundred Herbs Sutra
has improved.
The Hundred Herbs Geezer contemplated and remarked delightedly.

It’s all thanks to your guidance, master.
Qi Yan replied gratefully.

Haha, your skills of today are a result of your karma. It’s providence. Right, these two men require our clan’s assistance. I can’t leave, hence you shall accompany them. If you encounter any trouble, just let me know.
The Hundred Herbs Geezer said earnestly.
Qi Yan nodded her head.
I’ll let you make all decisions, master.


Eh, Mr. Rich Boss, why does this girl seem not to recognize us?
Sir System was confused.

What do you know? Won’t you let people pretend?
Fang Ning groaned.

Eh, boring. She’s just like you. You humans are always so superficial.
Sir System exclaimed.
Fang Ning retorted.
Because of your insensitivity, we’ve already lost our faces.
