The girl rolled her eyes and walked back into the house.
Ye Tian returned home, broke open a few medicinal amber stones, took out some medicinal herbs, plucked a purple immortal fruit, and finally grabbed his immortal needles and golden elixir. He then hurried back to school.
Upon arriving at the small courtyard, he crushed several medicinal herbs together and made a paste for Old Sun to drink. Old Sun pinched his nose and swallowed it in one gulp.
Instantly, several streams of energy within his body collided, and the strange aura was expelled, slowly rising to his head.
Ye Tian quickly administered acupuncture. After inserting over ten needles, a black mist spewed out from the top of Old Sun’s head, rising directly into the air and forming a dense gray fog that dispersed with the wind.
Old Sun’s eyes lit up: “Good! The tribulation energy in my body has been expelled!”
Ye Tian asked him to open his mouth and dropped the purple immortal fruit in. The purple immortal fruit, upon entering his stomach, transformed into a mystical power that nourished his body and spirit.
Half an hour later, Old Sun exhaled and smiled, “I have recovered about fifty percent of my cultivation. Little Ye, thank you.”
Ye Tian smiled, “Grandpa Sun. I have another golden elixir here. I only dare to cultivate using its essence. But you are different; you should be able to refine it.”
Old Sun took the golden elixir, his eyes flashing with brilliance. He said, “Little Ye, you’ve helped me so much, how can I thank you?”
Ye Tian smiled, “I am a doctor; it’s my duty. If Grandpa Sun truly wants to thank me, then when I encounter someone I can’t defeat in the future, you can help me out.”
Old Sun laughed heartily, “No problem. From now on, you are my own grandson.”
Ye Tian rolled his eyes. Why did that sound like an insult?
Old Sun said, “Little Ye, my real name is Sun Huanzhen, courtesy name Dongyang. I am from the early Qing Dynasty.”
Ye Tian: “Grandpa Sun, you should cultivate first. I will guard you.”
Sun Huanzhen nodded slightly, “Alright.”
Ye Tian stood guard outside the courtyard, playing with the dog. When the dog ignored him, Ye Tian tugged its tail, dragging it out of its kennel.
“Can you not bother Da Huang?” suddenly, a girl’s voice sounded from behind him.
Ye Tian had actually noticed someone else inside long ago, but he didn’t ask. He said, “What relation are you to Grandpa Sun?”
The girl: “Of course, I’m my grandfather’s granddaughter.”
Ye Tian glanced at her. The girl was exceptionally beautiful. He smiled and asked, “You’re not his biological granddaughter, are you?”
The girl: “Yes, Grandpa picked me up.”
Ye Tian: “Are you also studying here?”
The girl: “Yes, I’m in my second year of high school, and I’ll be taking the college entrance examination tomorrow.”
Ye Tian smiled slightly, “It seems you also know Grandpa Sun has cultivation. But why hasn’t Grandpa Sun taught you to cultivate?”
The girl snorted, “Don’t you understand? It’s more suitable for us girls to cultivate after the age of eighteen.”
Ye Tian: “That depends on how you cultivate. You can start with body tempering from a young age.”
The girl: “Grandpa often gave me massages and medicinal baths when I was young. My body is very strong.”
Ye Tian smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”
The girl: “My name is Sun Xiaoxian.”
Ye Tian: “I’m Ye Tian.”
They chatted for a while and surprisingly found many common topics, such as the college entrance examination and relationships with classmates. Through their conversation, Ye Tian learned that Sun Xiaoxian was a fierce girl who had beaten up many boys.
Xiaoxian: “Brother Ye Tian, how powerful is an Earth Immortal?”
Ye Tian picked up a pebble and squeezed it gently, turning it into powder.
Sun Xiaoxian’s eyes widened. “That’s amazing!”
Ye Tian: “An Earth Immortal’s physique is constantly evolving, becoming stronger and stronger. They can crush stones into powder and mold iron into mud.”
Sun Xiaoxian: “Then, in martial arts novels, it’s said that flying flowers and falling leaves can both injure people. Can you do that?”
Ye Tian plucked a leaf from a flower, flicked his right hand, and the leaf spun at high speed, slicing off a nearby branch with a crisp sound.
Sun Xiaoxian clapped her hands, “So powerful!”
Unknowingly, the sky began to lighten. Ye Tian suddenly stood up, and Sun Huanzhen emerged. His aura was completely different from before, becoming even more unfathomable.
Ye Tian smiled, “Grandpa Sun, how much of your strength have you recovered?”
Sun Huanzhen smiled, “After absorbing the golden elixir, I’ve recovered at least eighty-five percent of my strength!”
