Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

As soon as Qin Yi asked this question, Su Yingxue and Han Wuming, who were standing beside them, also turned around and looked at Chen Tian.

Especially Han Wuming, after taking another look at the dilapidated inn in front of him, a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He really couldn't understand why Chen Tian insisted on staying here.

Looking at the curious expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Tian chuckled, looked at Qin Yi's bright eyes, and said gently, "Yi'er, do you still remember that I told you that when I was young, I had a period of wandering?"

"Yes, I remember everything!" Qin Yi nodded, then tilted her head and asked, "Brother Chen, could it be that you came here when you were wandering? Are you revisiting an old haunt now?"

In the past few years, Chen Tian had told Qin Yi everything about him without any concealment, including the difficult years when he wandered with Xiaolong when he was young. Therefore, when Qin Yi heard Chen Tian mention this, she naturally thought that Chen Tian had come to this Fuyuan Inn when he was a child and that he was here to revisit an old haunt today.

Looking at Qin Yi's big, sparkling eyes filled with curiosity, Chen Tian suddenly chuckled and shook his head, "You're wrong. I haven't been here before, but at that time, I received a little favor from the owner of this shop. Now I suddenly feel sentimental and came here to take a look."

"Ah? Favor? What does that mean?" After hearing Chen Tian's words, Qin Yi's doubts grew even stronger, and she asked again.

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen, what's going on?" At this time, Su Yingxue on the other side also tilted her head curiously.

Seeing this, Han Wuming's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly took Su Yingxue's arm and said, "You're just a little girl, why are you joining in the fun? Come with me and carry the luggage upstairs."

With that, regardless of Su Yingxue's unwillingness, Han Wuming forcibly pulled her away, leaving Chen Tian and Qin Yi alone.

When Chen Tian and Qin Yi saw this, they both smiled. They naturally knew that Han Wuming was deliberately creating a space for them to be alone.

After retracting his gaze, Chen Tian continued to look at Qin Yi's clean and elegant face, his eyes filled with tenderness, and he slowly explained the reason to Qin Yi.

It turned out that after learning about the various benefits of cultivating immortality, Chen Tian and Xiaolong, who were still young at the time, embarked on the road to the Xianyu Sect with a wish filled with infinite beautiful longing.

However, the road was difficult and dangerous, and the location of the Xianyu Sect was in the deep mountains and old forests far away from the mortal world. Chen Tian and Xiaolong were in danger several times and almost died.

But perhaps it was God's blessing. Whenever the two were in desperate situations, they would be helped by benefactors, allowing them to turn danger into safety.

Once, while rushing on the road in the mountains and forests, the weather suddenly changed. The sky, which was originally clear, suddenly became overcast. Before Chen Tian and Xiaolong could find a place to shelter from the rain, a torrential downpour suddenly came, instantly engulfing the two in the vast cold rain.

The rain was heavy and rapid, falling on Chen Tian and Xiaolong, instantly taking away all their body temperature, as if they were deeply trapped in an ice cellar in the cold winter, freezing them so much that they shivered.

Because of the fatigue of rushing on the road for days and the long-term malnutrition, Xiaolong, who was physically weak, suddenly fainted. Chen Tian carried him, step by step, and found an abandoned thatched hut in the torrential rain where they could shelter from the rain.

However, the disaster belonging to the two had not yet dissipated. After the rain stopped, Xiaolong still did not wake up, but his whole body was hot and his lips were purple, and he had contracted a cold.

You should know that at that time, the two were in the wilderness where there was no village in front and no shop in the back. The nearest town was at least hundreds of miles away, and it would take at least three days to walk there.

And at that time, Xiaolong was already critically ill, how could he possibly withstand such a long time?

Besides, even if they were lucky enough to make it to the town, Chen Tian had no money on him and could not afford to see a doctor.

Having wandered to this day, Chen Tian had already seen through the darkness of the entire society. In this world, only power and money are recognized, and nothing else! Especially people like Chen Tian and Xiaolong, who are even considered to have no right to live in this world and will be discriminated against and scorned wherever they go.

It was in this indifferent environment that Chen Tian constantly warned himself that he must become stronger and stronger, because only when his own strength becomes stronger can he occupy a place in this superficial world.

However, at that time, Xiaolong had reached a very critical moment and could no longer delay. Although he had no hope in his heart, Chen Tian still decided to give it a try. So he made a small bed out of rattan and pulled Xiaolong's body, step by step, through the muddy mountains and forests that had just rained, trying to hope for a miracle to appear.

But what Chen Tian never expected was that before they reached the town, the so-called miracle quietly appeared on the way.

That day, at dusk, the sun was setting in the west. Chen Tian was still pulling Xiaolong forward on the rugged mountain road. But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out behind Chen Tian. Before long, a plain-looking carriage quickly passed by the two of them.

The driver was a coachman about twenty years old. When he passed by Chen Tian and Xiaolong, he glanced at them with an extremely disdainful look. Not only did he not stop at all, but he also whipped the carriage loudly and sped away, as if he thought Chen Tian and others were the plague.

Having come all the way, Chen Tian had long been accustomed to such indifference, so he didn't say anything and continued to pull Xiaolong, walking forward with difficulty.

But just then, the originally galloping carriage suddenly stopped not far ahead, and then an old man of about seventy, wearing a brocade robe, got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, he first scolded the coachman in a stern tone, scolding him for being indifferent and failing to save the dying, and then put on a kind smile and walked towards Chen Tian and Xiaolong.

As he walked, he kept saying something, but at that time, Chen Tian could no longer hear clearly. Even the old man's figure became blurred in front of his eyes. Then, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight to the ground.

The subsequent events were already blurred in Chen Tian's mind. He only remembered that the old man seemed to be flustered and ran over, carrying him and Xiaolong into the carriage together, and instructed the coachman to hurry on the road.

And the last picture that was fixed in Chen Tian's mind was an anxious and kind face. Then, Chen Tian completely lost consciousness and passed out.

"Brother Chen, what happened after that? What happened again?"

While Chen Tian was telling these things, Qin Yi seemed to have become anxious and uneasy along with his tone, revealing a worried look and clutching her heart.

It seemed that at this time, she was more nervous and worried than Chen Tian was at that time!
