A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 28 Yang Hualing

Today, Sujia Village welcomed a woman who seemed to have crawled out of a swamp. Her clothes were tattered and filthy, as if she had been stained by the dust of the world.

His hair was tangled up like a mess, and his face was covered in mud, as if he had just been through a storm.

She walked unsteadily to the big tree in Sujia Village and sat down as if relieved.

Leaning against a large tree, she breathed heavily, as if the tree was her only support in this weary world.

If you look closely, you can see the exhaustion on her face and her limp body; she looks like she hasn't eaten for days.

Xiaoyue saw an older sister enter Sujia Village and led a group of children to run over.

"Sister, what happened to you? Why are you all dirty?"

The woman barely managed to open her eyes a crack and saw a group of children standing in front of her. She responded weakly.

"Sister is fine. She can rest here for a while."

Another child noticed that the older sister was speaking weakly and quickly asked, "Sister, are you sick? You don't seem to have any strength when you speak."

Another child chimed in, "Sister, wait here, I'll go find Xiaoya to come and see you. Xiaoya is really good at treating illnesses." With that, he ran towards Yun Dan's house, not caring whether the woman was willing or not.

"Sister Xiaoya, Sister Xiaoya, Sister Xiaoya, Sister Xiaoya!" She was shouting at the top of her lungs even before she reached Yun Dan's house. Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened.

Lin Su saw Shanzi and scolded him with a smile, "Slow down, child! What are you doing making such a racket!"

"Auntie, there's a sick older sister at the village entrance. I've come to find Sister Xiaoya to help her."

"Has an outsider fallen ill at the village entrance?"

"No, no, I don't know how to say it. She looks sick, but she was sitting under the big tree by herself."

After Xiaoya came out of the house, she heard Shanzi talking about saving people, so she asked him what was going on.

Without replying, Shanzi grabbed Xiaoya and ran towards the big tree at the village entrance.

Yun Dan was at her wits' end with these little brats; they were always so impulsive and energetic.

When we got to a spot not far from the big tree, we saw several children sitting around a woman, and the others were talking to her.

Upon closer inspection, his clothes were filthy, and his face was also very dirty.

"Xiao Ya, hurry and check on her, is she sick? She looks like she's about to faint." Xiao Yue urged Yun Dan when she saw Xiao Ya arrive.

"Okay, okay, slow down, don't rush, let me take a look at her."

Yun Dan took the woman's hand and began to take her pulse, noticing that Yun Dan's brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently.

"Sister, have you been hungry for days? Come back with us and we'll cook you some porridge."

Regardless of whether the woman wanted to or not, several of the taller children supported her and carried her back to the village.

"Xiaoya, let her come to my house first. My room is bigger and can accommodate two people."

Yun Dan was still thinking about what had happened to her pulse earlier. When she heard what Xiao Yue said, she thought about it and realized that it was true. Her room at home was separated from her brother's.

"Okay, then I'll ask my mother to cook some porridge, and I'll take it over to her."

A group of children helped the woman to Xiaoyue's room so she could lie down and rest.

"Sister, rest here for a while. Xiaoya went to cook porridge, and you'll be full soon. Once you're full, you won't get sick," the little snotty-nosed girl said to the woman.

"Thank you, little brother, thank you all, you are all good children."

The children told the woman to rest, and then they all dispersed, eager to tell their families about what had happened.

After Yundan finished cooking the porridge, she took it to Xiaoyue's house.

"Xiaoyue, is she in your room?"

"Yes, it's inside. Let's go in." Xiaoyue went into the room first.

Yun Dan took the porridge and followed her in. Seeing the woman lying on the bed, she put the bowl on the table first, and the two of them helped her up and lean her against the wall.

"Here you go, sister, the porridge is ready. Here, have some. It's a little hot, so eat slowly."

"Thank you, little sister."

The two sat down and chatted while waiting for the woman to eat her porridge. Since life in Sujia Village had improved, there was no shortage of meat and vegetables.

No meat? No problem. Go into the mountains and catch some wild game. Besides, every household has chickens and ducks, so there's no need to worry about not having meat to eat.

The woman ate a bowl of egg and lean pork congee for about ten minutes, and after she put down her bowl and chopsticks, Xiaoyue poured her another cup of tea and asked her what was wrong.

"Sister, why did you come here alone and in such a disheveled state?"

Upon hearing Xiaoyue's question, the woman replied softly, "My parents have passed away. I have a relative in Fengdang Town, so I wanted to come and stay with her."

But when I got to Fengdang Town and found the address, I discovered they were no longer there. With nowhere else to go, I could only wander aimlessly.

The day before yesterday, I went into the mountains to find some wild vegetables to eat, but I unexpectedly encountered a big snake. I was so scared that I ran away as fast as I could. In my haste, I didn't look in the right direction and got lost.

Then I wandered around in the mountains for two days, eating wild fruits when I was hungry and drinking dew and stream water when I was thirsty. It wasn't until today that I finally left the mountains and arrived here with you.”

"Little girl, your sister is so pitiful."

Yun Dan was pondering the importance of her words, because Yun Dan had just taken her pulse.

I could sense that her meridians were strong, yet they lacked vitality; in layman's terms, they were a rare type of severed meridian.

Unless a cultivator comes along and refines a high-grade Meridian Opening Pill, in this lifetime, let alone practicing martial arts, even as for internal energy, no matter how much internal energy one has, it will slowly dissipate and cannot be retained in the dantian at all.

But what's strange is that her meridians are very strong, making her more suitable for martial arts training. It's incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible.

Xiaoyue continued, "Then, sister, what's your name? Where do you live? Would you like us to take you home?"

The woman shook her head and said, "My name is Yang Hualing. I have no home anymore. My parents are gone, and I don't know what to do now."

When Xiaoyue heard that Yang Hualing was all alone, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Then Sister Yang, why don't you stay here for now? You're not fully recovered yet, so let Xiaoya treat you first. Once you're better, we can discuss what to do next."

Oh, and one more thing, my name is Su Yue, Sister Yang you can call me Xiao Yue, and this is Lin Xiaoya.”

"Thank you for taking me in, otherwise I might have starved to death on the road."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. We're just doing what we feel we should do."

"Sister Yang, let's have Xiaoya examine you first." Xiaoyue said, turning to look at Yundan.

"Little girl, why don't you take a look at Sister Yang and see if you can cure her?"

Yun Dan was actually quite interested in her kind of incurable disease. Ever since she mastered medical and poison skills, the villagers' minor illnesses could be cured with just one pill.

There was never any opportunity to study it, but now that I have a patient with a rare and difficult-to-treat illness, it's impossible not to be interested.

Yun Dan wasn't afraid of her causing any trouble. Even if there were another hundred or so people like Yang Hualing, Lin Yun Dan dared to say she wouldn't be afraid.

"Okay, put your hand over here, I'll take your pulse more carefully. I just realized you've been starving for too long."

This time, Yun Dan sat to the side, carefully sensing the pulse, and sent a wisp of her internal energy into it, but it was cut off halfway through.

Yang Hualing sensed a gentle and mild internal force coming from her pulse. She couldn't help but frown, but in her heart she thought to herself...

Just as Hua Lingxing said, this little girl is no ordinary person. Even my severed meridians were able to be stirred up by her internal energy to resist.

Even those old guys in Medicine King Valley had to use all their strength to provoke her, yet she so easily triggered the reaction of her severed meridians.

It's not that Yun Dan is particularly powerful; Yun Dan's current internal strength is only at the first-rate level.

Compared to the cultivation levels in martial arts novels, this is still considered the Acquired Realm, not yet the Innate Realm.

It's just that Yun Dan's Linglong Divine Skill is more powerful.

Yun Dan took her pulse, shook her head for a while, then nodded, and sighed: "Alas... Sister Yang, I can cure your other minor ailments, but there is a congenital illness that I am currently powerless to treat."

When Xiaoyue heard Xiaoya mention that she had a congenital illness, she thought she had some kind of terminal disease. She anxiously grabbed Yundan's hands and asked, "Xiaoya, is there no way to cure Sister Yang?"

Yun Dan tapped Xiao Yue's forehead with her finger and smiled.

"What are you thinking? Your sister Yang is fine. She'll be alright after a few days of rest. I'll go get her some medicine later. She'll be fully recovered in three days."

Sister Yang has just been working too hard lately, not eating well, and not getting enough rest.

"Sister Yang, you should rest well. I'll have Xiaoyue bring the medicine over later. Take one pill a day, and you'll recover in three days. We won't disturb your rest any longer."

Then the two left, no, Yun Dan came back and took the bowl and spoon away.

Hua Lingxing lay quietly on the bed. She had been quite tired these past few days. In order to make it more realistic, she had tormented herself to the point of exhaustion.

I wonder if this little girl has any doubts about her thriving meridians. If she lives in this village in the future, she'll have to be careful.

"Lin Xiaoya is truly remarkable."
