Chapter 31: Before Senior Chen, We are but Mere Ants

The next day, Xia Zhuyuan tidied up her appearance and once again met with the big shots of the Central Region.

“Everyone, senior Chen doesn’t like to be disturbed, so please keep today’s trip a secret.”

On the cloud boat, Xia Zhuyuan reminded everyone again.

“Yes.”

Holy Leader Yuanming and the others nodded.

The cloud boat flew and brought the big shots of the Central Region to Guizu Mountain.

“Guizu Mountain is the birthplace of the Central Region’s civilization. It has an extraordinary status. Who dares to destroy it?”

The big shots were furious when they saw the destroyed Guizu Mountain.

“It was done by the Medicine God Valley,” Xia Zhuyuan explained.

While everyone was talking, the cloud boat landed at the foot of the mountain.

To show their sincerity, they walked into the mountain and arrived in front of Dama Village. Aunt Li did not sit at the entrance of the village on her small stool as usual. After all, Xia Zhuyuan had already arranged everything and told her that important people were coming.

Aunt Li’s attitude today was different since she had received benefits.

“Please come in, Xiao Chen is already waiting for you.”

Aunt Li made a gesture of invitation.

“That senior gets along very well with the villagers, and he doesn’t care about the secular titles,” Xia Zhuyuan explained.

“As expected of an expert. He’s hidden from the world and the people.”

Holy Leader Yuanming expressed his agreement.

The group of people entered the village and all stopped.

“The spiritual energy here is even denser than my Holy Land’s!”

“As expected of the place where an expert lives in seclusion. It’s simply a blessed land.”

“If I can live in seclusion here, my cultivation will definitely soar.”

They began to envy the villagers who lived here.

After walking forward for a while, the big shots continued to be shocked.

“Mystic flame tree.”

“Heaven-reaching divine willow.”

“A chicken with the bloodline of the phoenix!”

“That ugly toad… Wait, that’s a Heaven-swallowing Toad!”

The group became increasingly fearful as they walked forward.

By the time they arrived at Chen Xuan’s courtyard, they were already drenched in a cold sweat.

Xia Zhuyan looked at the time, “Senior Chen’s appointment with us is in the afternoon. It’s not time yet. Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Alright.”

No one dared to show any dissatisfaction. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and looked up at the plaque in front of the small courtyard.

Four big words were written there, “Pure Heart Medical Cottage”!

Under the plaque was a couplet.

The first half read, “The pure heart can cure illness and relieve pain.”

The second half read, “The skillful hand can bring the dead back to life.”

“Good. Not only is the calligraphy good, but the artistic conception is also wonderful,” Holy Leader Yuanming exclaimed in amazement.

Holy Leader Chiyan, Sect Leader Ziyang, and the others couldn’t help but say, “Standing in front of this calligraphy work, I feel as tiny as a grain of sand or dust in the world. Just the artistic conception of the piece and the effect of the Great Dao it brings are comparable to the power of one of my divine techniques!”

Everyone sighed in amazement.

Although they had yet to see the true face of the expert, they already had a feeling that before senior Chen, they were but mere ants.

With such a thought in mind, Xia Zhuyuan looked at the time and knocked on Chen Xuan’s door, “Senior, it’s time. Can we go in?”

“Oh, Zhuyuan, you’re already here? Come on in.”

Chen Xuan’s gentle voice could be heard from within the courtyard.

Hearing senior Chen’s amiable voice, the people waiting outside the courtyard couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the courtyard, Chen Xuan was enjoying a massage.

His shoulders were sore from pounding herbs.

Fortunately, Yan Jin was considerate and could empathize with her master’s hard work, so she took the initiative to give him a massage during their resting time.

He had to say that her massaging skills were not bad.

“Yan Jin has broken through to the tier 9 Martial God realm!”

Seeing Yan Jin once again, Xia Zhuyuan’s heart was shaken.

At the same time, she was also envious. Staying by senior Chen’s side indeed brought the benefit of being in a favorable position.

Although she was envious, Xia Zhuyuan still collected her thoughts and said, “Senior, these are the important figures I mentioned to you.”

Xia Zhuyuan came forward, wanting to introduce Chen Xuan to the Holy Leader Yuanming and the others.

When the Holy Leader Yuanming and the others saw that the cat in Chen Xuan’s arms had the vague aura of an ancient sacred beast and that the female disciple who was massaging him was a tier 9 Martial God, they couldn’t help but be shocked. They didn’t dare to claim to be important figures in front of Chen Xuan.

Immediately, they said, “We’re not important people.”

“Senior, just call me Yuanming or Xiao Yuan,” Holy Leader Yuanming maintained a humble attitude.

“I’m Chiyan,” Holy Leader Chiyan also introduced himself.

“Yanji.”

“Ziyang.”

“Sanzang.”

…

The crowd introduced themselves humbly.

Looking at them, Chen Xuan could not help but sigh.

Although he had never walked out of Dama Village, just by looking at Xia Zhuyuan and the people in front of him, it was enough to see that the people of this world were very polite.

“Senior” was just a daily honorific.

Moreover, looking at the bearing of these people, he could tell that their achievements were by no means ordinary. Since they were so polite, he couldn’t be too impolite either. He immediately stood up and said, “Please take a seat. Xiao Yan, bring out my good tea to serve the guests.”

“Yes, master.”

Yan Jin responded and immediately went to get the tea.

The relationship between her and Chen Xuan had grown closer after these few days. Now, her master was willing to let her serve him closely. Moreover, her master was no longer as distant as before, calling her Yan Jin. Instead, he called her Xiao Yan.

These changes were enough to show that she was getting closer to her master.

This made Yan Jin particularly motivated to do things.

She ran away happily to prepare tea.

While she was retrieving the tea, Chen Xuan started sizing up the few people before him.

He thought to himself, “I just reminded Zhuyuan of the risks of cross-border trade, and Zhuyuan happened to help these people, who have now come all the way to visit me. I’m sure it’s not just to express their gratitude. They must have some other purpose.”

He saw one of them staring at his grinder, unable to move his eyes away.

Chen Xuan smacked his head.

He understood.

“It must be because I’ve been a doctor for a while now, and the medicinal herbs I used far exceed the medical standards of this world. These big shots in the business world learned about it, so they want to do business with me in the medicinal herbs business… Sigh, Wu De and those people… I already said that there’s no need to help me promote my business. In the end, they still can’t control their mouths.”

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan was a little angry.

But on second thought, since even Zhuyuan who was from a large family had said that these people were important figures, they must be so.

Moreover, he would have to leave the mountain sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity to promote his medicine?

If he could make use of these big shots to successfully sell his medicine, then when he left the mountain in the future, he would be able to easily establish a foothold outside.

With this in mind, Chen Xuan let go of all qualms.

“I think I understand why you’re here,” He said.

“Huh?” Holy Leader Yuanming and the others were shocked.

Just now, they had already noticed that there was something off with the expert.

One moment, he was as gentle as the wind. The next moment, his expression was indecipherable. In the middle, he even shook his head and sighed for a while. No one knew what he was thinking.

Watching him, they felt great pressure.

They didn’t dare to say or ask anything.

They didn’t expect that the moment the expert spoke, he expressed that he understood their intentions.

“It seems that we have underestimated the expert,” Holy Leader Yuanming shook his head and communicated with the others telepathically, “With my strength at tier 3 in the Dao Entry realm, I still can’t see through this senior. He must at least be a celestial. As for whether he is a mortal celestial or a true celestial, we can’t know for sure. In either case, he’s certainly stronger than us. I think we should be open in front of this senior. Playing tricks will only make him unhappy.”

Holy Leader Chiyan, Sect Leader Ziyang, and the others nodded.

They had the same thinking.

“Since senior has already seen through us, let’s get straight to the point.”
