Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: He Has Arrived

Lu Xiaobu returned to his room, and truth be told, he actually envied Wen Family Hall.

Of course, it wasn’t the things that just happened that he envied!

What he envied was Wen Family Hall’s mindset and lifestyle.

Sometime ago, he too wanted to be that kind of person, with moderate wealth, a leisurely life, and a destiny full of self-created joy.

Therefore, when Lu Xiaobu heard Wen Family Hall say he ran into troubles, he didn’t ask much. Instead, he chose to help him, as if he were helping his past self.

A night passed without words.

The time came to the next day.

It was the day the true Inner Valley opened its doors, and by now, not everyone could enter.

It was a time to showcase one’s status.

Many people, including many wealthy individuals like Wen Family Hall, could only gaze at the gate leading into the true Medicine King Valley, showing envious looks.

They truly wanted to enter, having heard that there might be Divine Medicine inside that grants immortality.

Of course, this was all just their imagination.

Nevertheless, Lu Xiaobu and his group could proceed directly to the front of that gate.

”Grandmaster Ye.” A disciple of Baihua Valley saw Ye Changsheng and quickly bowed and said.

As a greeter, knowing the Grandmaster was basic.

”Mm.” Ye Changsheng responded casually.

Then, the greeter looked at Lu Xiaobu: ”Master Lu.”

This one was a well-known Honorary Master, and he was well aware.

”Mm.” Lu Xiaobu also nodded indifferently.

Then, the group walked inside.

Wen Family Hall watched everything from a not-too-far inn, and the envy showed in his eyes.

Lu Xiaobu envied his lifestyle, yet Wen Family Hall couldn’t help but envy Lu Xiaobu’s identity and status?!

However, he knew in his heart that with gains, there must be losses.

Higher status means heavier burdens and pressure.

So, while he might envy, he really didn’t want to become like that.

...

Similar to when they first came in, they entered through the main gate, then through the back door.

When the true Medicine King Valley appeared before them, it wasn’t their eyes that first received the signal, but rather their noses.

That was—the fragrance of medicine!

The overwhelming fragrance of medicine!

This scent seeped into their hearts, permeating every cell of the body, almost as if it were injecting energy into their body, making it feel extremely comfortable.

Lu Xiaobu and his group didn’t react much, but the change in Lu’s father and Little Pepper’s bodies was visible.

Obviously, their faces became much more flushed, and their spirits improved greatly.

Looking at this scene, Lu Xiaobu smiled happily, indeed, Ye Changsheng was right, coming to this place was truly beneficial for his father’s health.

Honestly, even just having this is enough, any so-called other gains are unimportant!

It was only then that Lu Xiaobu began to observe this true Medicine King Valley.

Indeed, the entire Medicine King Valley resembled a gourd, looking like a large round hollow space, just a size smaller than the outside world.

Similar to the outside inns, the buildings here were mainly constructed along the cliffs, and the corridors were lined along steep cliff edges.

Moreover, it seemed as if some areas were under construction.

This caused Lu Xiaobu to hesitate, are they reconstructing?

It’s quite a project!

After checking out the buildings on the cliff, Lu Xiaobu directed his gaze to the ground.

The ground resembled a circular large plaza, surrounded by a variety of houses, many of which were shops selling medicine.

And the center of the plaza was a big tree.

Interestingly enough, this tree was actually a dead tree, sparking interest.

However, overall, the pavilions and towers scattered everywhere really exuded a bit of the Immortal’s style.

Ye Changsheng noticed Lu Xiaobu’s attention on the dead tree and immediately chuckled: ”Are you wondering why this tree is dead?”

”Yeah, in such a nice Medicine King Valley, what’s the point of placing a dead tree in the middle?” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”Oh, this tree, ever since I can remember, has always been a dead tree. It’s said by the elders that it’s some sort of Spirit Root or something, which I don’t really believe, but the people of Medicine King Valley do, continuously trying to revive this tree across generations, yet as you can see, the dead tree remains dead.” Ye Changsheng shrugged and laughed.

Lu Xiaobu: ”I see. It’s similar to some kind of faith of Medicine King Valley, isn’t it.”

Ye Changsheng nodded: ”Mm, that’s one way to put it. Alright, let’s take a brief stroll; soon there’ll be many more people. There are quite a lot of good things here, incomparable to the outside.”

...

Lu Xiaobu and the group began to wander around; anything Lu’s father took an interest in or was beneficial to his health, Lu Xiaobu would buy it all.

After all, nothing here was of poor quality, if he liked it, he’d buy it.

And right at the location directly opposite the entrance along the cliff face, next to Medicine King Valley’s main hall, in an adjacent hall.

Suddenly, a limping person, with a face full of panic, ran in from the doorway as if he’d seen some beast that devours humans.

In his haste, he even fell to the ground.

But even then, he got up and kept rushing in!

Upon entering the adjacent hall, it was shocking to find a large group of people inside, ranging from old to young.

More so, it was as if this adjacent hall was isolated from the world, completely devoid of that outside Immortal-like atmosphere.

Because here, many were living and cooking!

Additionally, the most shocking thing was that everyone here, except for the little kids, were all limping.

They walked with a limp, reminiscent of those old slave families.

However, it’s not right to say they were slaves of Medicine King Valley, since the adjacent hall next to the main hall isn’t accessible to just anyone.

Yet, not only do they freely come and go, they can light fires and cook meals.

It’s clear they aren’t slaves!

Who exactly are they?!

At that moment, the person who fell finally stumbled in with a face full of terror, shouting: ”It’s here! It’s here!”

He screamed frantically, so much so that the veins in his neck bulged.

People around stared at him in confusion, clearly unsure of what he was referring to!

The person continued to shout crazily: ”It’s here! It’s here! He’s here! He’s here!”

His expression became increasingly frenetic, wanting to shout out the name but unable to do so, as if someone was choking him.

Suddenly, he thought of an idea and ripped his pant leg on his limp leg.

Immediately, a round, bullet-like gruesome wound was exposed to everyone’s view.

Afterward, the person pointed at the wound and frantically shouted again: ”He! He’s here!”

Immediately!

The entire adjacent hall erupted!

A wave of fear immediately engulfed everyone present!

Their expressions were akin to witnessing the arrival of the Death God!
