After kowtowing, the man stood up and hurried back home.

The house was dilapidated, impoverished, air leaking everywhere, and there was not a single thing of value in the house.

A skinny woman with a disheveled face was huddled beside the bed, her body trembling due to cold and hunger.

There was a sleeping old man lying on the bed, covered with a shabby quilt. The old man's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his breath was as thin as a thread, just like a light in the wind and rain, which might go out at any time.

With a creak, the door opened, and the cold wind rushed in from the outside.

The woman stood up quickly and used her thin body to shield the old man from the cold wind.

At the same time, he looked back and saw that his husband, whom he had been worried about day and night, had returned, with a look of genuine joy on his face.

In order to save her mother-in-law, her husband went to the mountains to look for the legendary fairy grass for nearly seven days.

She was worried every day. She knew the dangers in the mountains. The longer time passed, the more worried she became. She often cried alone in the past two days.

I can only pray silently, hoping that the gods can bless my husband to return safely.

Now seeing him come back, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"I saw an immortal in the mountains, and the immortal gave me an elixir."

"God, God, are there really gods in the mountains?" His wife was also stunned after hearing this.

After all, they had only heard about things like gods, and no one had ever seen them with their own eyes.

"Really, the god sent his beast to send me back, and gave the elixir to my mother first."

The man cut off a small piece of the elixir Wang Zhe gave him, dissolved it in warm water, and fed it little by little to the old man. Then the couple waited aside.

At this time, in the mountain village outside the house,

Some of the villagers who were frightened by Laifu and fled in all directions stuck their heads out boldly, took a look, then came out from the corner and quietly turned around.

After confirming that the scary monster had left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was that just now? It was so scary."

One person comes out, and soon there will be a second, a third...

When people got together, they were frightened at the beginning, but after they stabilized, they naturally began to talk about the man who had just been sent back from Laifu.

"What kind of monster was that just now?"

"I don't know, it's scary just looking at it. I guess you left after eating it, right?"

"But, I saw Xiang get off that monster's body."

"Really, did you read that correctly?"

"That's right."

"Yes, I saw it too."

"Also, let's take a look at Axiang's house and we'll find out."

At Axiang's home, the couple were surprised to find that their mother's face, which was originally pale and without a trace of blood, turned red and her breathing became much more steady.

The man hurriedly fed the remaining elixir to his old man.

After a while, the old man's body seemed to emit a dull light, and then his eyelids moved and he opened his eyes.

His cloudy eyes turned twice, and finally looked at the two people guarding the bed.

"Axiang, Xiaoxue."

"Mom, you're awake!" The middle-aged man shed tears of joy.

"Is Axiang at home?"

At this moment, shouts came from outside.

A man in his forties, with unshaven beard and triangular eyes opened the door.

When he saw A Xiang, he was startled. When he saw the old man sitting on the bed, he took a step back in shock.

Axiang is very famous in the village because he is a well-known filial son. He has tried every means to save his seriously ill mother.

I sold all the valuable things in my home, but to no avail.

The old man looked like he was going to die.

This is something that everyone in the village knows. As a neighbor, he came to see the old man specially. A few days ago, he even saw A Xiang going into the mountains alone with a hatchet.

He said that he was going to find the legendary fairy grass to cure his mother's illness.

At that time, he dismissed it. There was no fairy grass. There were countless wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains. If you were not careful, you would die in them.

When the time comes, mother and son will have a companion on the Huangquan Road to avoid being lonely.

But now the seriously ill old man actually sat up, his face turned rosy, and he was still drinking porridge.

"Aunt, you, are you awake!?" The sight he saw was so shocking that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Ah, I just woke up." The old man said with a smile.

"Axiang, you, have you really found the fairy grass?" The man suddenly thought of a possibility and turned to look at Axiang.

"I didn't find the fairy grass, but I met an immortal in Qinchuan. He gave me a fairy pill and saved my mother's life."

Axiang is an honest person and has nothing to hide from his friend from the same village.

"That monster?"

"What monster? The mythical beast you said sent me back was sent by the immortal to send me back. It took me six days to go into the mountain, but it sent me back in just half a day."

Immortals, are there really immortals?!

The man who came to visit was buzzing.

"What does the immortal look like?"

"He looks like an immortal. I don't know how long he has lived, but he looks like he is twenty years old."

"Where is the immortal?"

"I don't know." Axiang shook his head.

"I don't know, how could you not know?"

"I was rescued by an immortal when I fainted in the mountains, so I don't know where he is." Axiang said.

In fact, he roughly knew where Wang Zhe was practicing, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.

He suddenly realized that if he revealed the place where the immortal lived, many people might go to the mountains to find him and seek elixir, which would disturb his spiritual practice.

That immortal probably doesn't want to be disturbed, right?

"Maybe it's fate." Axiang said this.

He searched hard in the mountains for six days, experienced life and death, and almost died in the mountains several times, before he had the chance to meet the immortal.

Thinking about it now, he felt that the experiences before he could see the immortal were probably God's test for him.

At this time, Laifu met three people on the way back, who came to search the mountain.

There were originally four of them, but they encountered a tough situation and one of them died in the woods.

"This is a monster, no, it's a spiritual beast?!"

One of them pointed at Laifu Road.

He saw a different aura on Laifu's body, not the black aura of a monster, but a green aura.

The remaining two people were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked surprised. They looked at each other.

"Catch them alive!"

Spiritual beasts are rare for monks.

For example, the golden-winged wither is the lowest-level spiritual beast artificially cultivated.

Between heaven and earth, there are some natural spiritual beasts. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are monsters. They are all born and raised by the earth and possess strange supernatural powers.

For example, Golden Wings can search in the sky, and if you have some spiritual beasts with you, you can give early warning.

If these strange beasts can be tamed, they can bring some unexpected gains to the monks' practice.

"Get away!" Upon seeing this, Laifu roared loudly, his voice echoing through the forest.

"The spiritual wisdom has been opened, and the mouth speaks human words!"

This roar made these people more determined to surrender it.

"Be careful not to injure its life."

One of them took out a talisman, chanted a spell, and flicked it towards Laifu.

Certainly,

The talisman fell on Lai Fu's body, Lai Fu's body shook, and the talisman instantly shattered.

"It's broken, good, good!" The monk was happy instead of angry.
