”You say she has the Yin River Spirit physique?” The elder with a head full of silver hair just briefly described the situation, and Chen Fei’s expression changed instinctively, looking towards the timid little girl. The latter immediately shrank back timidly, hiding behind the elder with silver hair, not daring to show her face, as if Chen Fei was a bad person.

”Aya, it’s alright. This young brother shouldn’t be a bad person. Don’t be afraid.” The elder with silver hair gently stroked his granddaughter’s back, speaking in a soft and gentle tone to comfort her, wanting to reach out to the little girl’s fear and timidity inside.

Seeing this, Chen Fei’s expression became slightly awkward. Then the elder with silver hair nodded, sighing with sadness, ”When my little granddaughter’s parents had her, there were some unexpected events. Later, after she was born, we found out her physique was different from ordinary people. No matter what method was used to help her cultivate, her blood would congeal, turning into a cold spring, like she was about to suffocate...”

At this point, his expression became a bit sad. It’s said that doting skips a generation, but his granddaughter has suffered in such dire straits and torments since birth. How could he not feel heartbroken? To those in the Cultivation World, being unable to cultivate is the most tragic thing, without exception.

”Later, I sought out Elder Xue and them at the Hundred Knowledge Palace, spent a hefty fortune to invite a Five-Star King Level Alchemist from the Triple Emperor Domain, and only then learned that my poor little granddaughter actually possesses a ’Yin River Spirit physique’ that is one in a billion...”

Despite saying it’s ’one in a billion,’ the elder with silver hair appeared more bitter than anyone else at this moment. He sighed lightly, shook his head, and continued, ”To the Ghost Clan living in Ghost City, the Yin River Spirit physique is one of the top constitutions, only slightly inferior to the rare supreme ghost physiques. But to us living people...”

”Living people can’t cultivate a ghost clan physique. If the Yin River Spirit really exists in her, it would be utterly useless!” Chen Fei interjected slowly, then glanced again at the timid little girl behind the elder with silver hair.

”I wonder if I could examine her physique?” Chen Fei asked. The Yin River Spirit physique is uniquely ghost-like, distinct, so honestly, he didn’t believe a human could possess such a physique. Even in the profound memory inheritances of the cultivation world, there was no precedent for such a thing.

”You?”

”You?”

The elder with silver hair and the Elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace were both startled, then exchanged glances. The elder with silver hair hesitated for a moment, finally nodding slowly, ”Alright then...”

Chen Fei nodded, approaching the timid little girl, ”Don’t be afraid, don’t worry. I just want to check your physique. Relax... My name is Chen Fei. What’s your name?”

Chen Fei placed his hand on the timid little girl’s shoulders. She trembled slightly, took a deep breath, and barely managed to calm down, looking at Chen Fei and whispering, ”Brother, my name is Luo Aya...”

”Luo Aya, huh? That’s a lovely name. Your parents gave it to you, didn’t they?” Chen Fei spoke to her, distracting her while checking her body condition.

”Yes.” Luo Aya’s eyes brightened slightly when Chen Fei mentioned her parents, nodding with vigor. Then she said a bit regretfully, ”But it’s a pity they’re not here now. Otherwise, I could introduce them to you.”

”Really? That’s indeed a pity. Do you know where they’ve gone, Aya?” Chen Fei asked absent-mindedly, still examining Luo Aya’s physique. And at that moment, it seemed he had found some clues, and his eyes began to sparkle.

”They went far away to find a cure for Aya’s illness. Grandpa says, it’s called somewhere in the Triple Emperor Domain?” Luo Aya said sadly, making the elder with silver hair feel a bit heartbroken.

This time, Chen Fei removed his hand from Luo Aya’s shoulder, then wore a gentle smile, saying to Luo Aya, ”Aya, you can ask your grandpa to call them back. I can cure the disorder in your physique.”

”What!?”

”You...”

The elder with silver hair and the Elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace were both taken aback, their expressions changing.

”Are you sure? This is the Yin River Spirit physique, a ghost clan constitution! Let me tell you, their visit to Ghost City was to seek a Golden Lotus of Ghost Leaf. You should know what the Golden Lotus of Ghost Leaf is, right? But even with the Golden Lotus of Ghost Leaf, it’s said to only suppress her physique, allowing her to live through this life smoothly! But to cultivate, that’s absolutely impossible.”

The Elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace couldn’t help but speak with some excitement. This opinion was originally concluded by that Five-Star King Level Alchemist from the Triple Emperor Domain, a person whose words hold the weight of gold—how could there be any mistakes?

”Golden Lotus of Ghost Leaf?” Chen Fei chuckled upon hearing this, ”Let’s not discuss whether the Golden Lotus of Ghost Leaf would have effect on her physique. Even if it did, don’t you think you’re wasting a treasure doing that?”

”Wasting a treasure?” The elder with silver hair and the Elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace were puzzled. The former’s expression changed repeatedly, yet he couldn’t suppress the emotional turmoil within and asked Chen Fei, ”Young friend, what do you mean by that?”

Chen Fei didn’t answer immediately but instead gently brushed Luo Aya’s soft bangs on her forehead, squatted down, and asked with a smile, ”Aya, tell brother, do you want to cultivate?”

”Yes!” At this moment, Luo Aya seemed unafraid of Chen Fei at all. Hearing his question, her voice rose a few notches, replying excitedly, ”Aya wants to cultivate! If Aya can cultivate, then daddy, mommy, and grandpa wouldn’t have to worry and travel everywhere for me.”

”Aya!” The elder with silver hair took a deep breath, looking at his most beloved granddaughter with a mix of heartache and resignation. He would prefer to bear all these troubles himself, but... heaven has not granted his wish...

Upon hearing Luo Aya’s words, Chen Fei felt a bit uncomfortable inside. He shook his head and smiled again, saying, ”Aya, rest assured. I promise you that soon you will be able to cultivate! And you will be much stronger than those self-proclaimed geniuses.”

Humans are humans because they have emotions and desires. Although Chen Fei is not a saint, he is a soft-hearted person who tends to help when he can. So since he encountered this issue today and could lend a hand, he decided to do so.

In any case, for him, it was just easy assistance.

”Really?” Luo Aya, the silver-haired elder, and the elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace exclaimed simultaneously. Then the silver-haired elder took a deep breath and asked Chen Fei, ”Young friend, can you really, really...”

”Senior, if you trust me, then there won’t be any issues. I can tell you clearly that I can help solve the problem with Little Aya’s physique,” Chen Fei said calmly.

”...Then what conditions do you want? What do you desire?” Yet Chen Fei’s words made the silver-haired elder cautious. He looked at Chen Fei hesitantly.

Noticing the change in the silver-haired elder’s attitude, Chen Fei smiled slightly and said, ”I don’t want anything, nor can you give me anything. As for whether I am deceiving you...”

Chen Fei looked at Luo Aya and smiled, asking, ”Aya, do you trust Brother?”

”Well...” Luo Aya hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically, ”I trust Brother!”

Those who are shy are usually simple-minded, and simple people are more sensitive to others’ kindness or malice. In Luo Aya’s heart, Chen Fei seemed very good and kind, filled entirely with goodwill, so she, despite a brief hesitation, chose to trust Chen Fei.

In the world of a simple person, they prefer to believe that there are more good people on earth.

”Alright!” Upon hearing his granddaughter Luo Aya say this, the silver-haired elder clenched his teeth and said, ”Since that’s the case, I choose to trust you once, young friend. Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Luo Xiong, known as King Bear of Fury, originating from Hao Hai Sect... If you truly can save my granddaughter Aya from her troubles, regardless of the situation, I, Luo Xiong, owe you a life-debt! Anytime, anywhere, just say the word, and I’ll repay...”

If others heard such words, they would be shocked. Hao Hai Sect, one of the ancient famous sects in the Inner Region, has reached the pinnacle and fallen to the depths, yet still flourishing today, so no one dares to question the might of such a sect!

And King Bear of Fury is also a renowned king in the Inner Region, one of the five key figures of Hao Hai Sect, rarely challenged among the elder generation. In his youth, he swept aside countless talents and prodigies to reach where he is today! Hence, anyone at a certain level in the Inner Region would know the reputation of ’King Bear of Fury’.

Now, with King Bear of Fury giving a ’life-debt’, it needs no explanation; anyone can understand how significant these words are...

However, Chen Fei, who was visiting the Inner Region for the first time, did not understand the significance of King Bear of Fury’s title, nor considered the meaning behind the term ’life-debt’.

He decided to meddle simply because he felt it was a coincidence and thought Luo Aya seemed a bit pitiful, thus sympathizing. Encountering is fate, and it wouldn’t hurt to help.

Thus, Chen Fei calmly nodded and then slowly said, ”I’m Chen Fei.”

King Bear of Fury noticed Chen Fei’s calmness, his eyes twitched but didn’t express anything too obvious.

Then he asked Chen Fei: ”What should we do now, young friend?”

”Go do whatever you need to. Once I’m out of Ghost City, I’ll come to find you,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

”Do whatever we need to?” King Bear of Fury was momentarily stunned, then slowly nodded, ”Alright, then Aya and I will wait here for you to return, young friend?”

”That works.” Chen Fei nodded, waved to Luo Aya, and said, ”Aya, be good and listen to Grandpa. Brother will return in a few days to treat your ailment.”

”Okay.” Luo Aya nodded heavily, waving her small hands to bid farewell to Chen Fei, ”Brother, be safe on your journey.”

”Don’t worry. A mere Ghost City can’t stop me.”

Chen Fei smiled confidently, then turned to the elder from the Hundred Knowledge Palace, saying, ”Shall we go?”

”...Okay.” The elder from the Hundred Knowledge Palace looked deeply at Chen Fei, nodded, and led him to the depths of the small shop’s underground.

Ghost City is located underground!
