Sorry, I'm Slightly Better Below

Chapter 13: Danger

Wang Tou-er frequently traveled between Qingyang Town and Ruifeng City, and was quite familiar with the local customs and people in both places. Upon hearing the question, he instinctively turned his head in the direction pointed out by Chen Ze, and upon seeing the young man, a genuine smile immediately appeared on his face.

"You don't say, I actually know that person. He is the young master Ye Tang from the renowned Ye Family Medical Hall in the city. After the passing of the Ye family patriarch, he took over as the hall's master.

Although this young master Ye is young, his medical skills are exceptional.

What's even more rare is that he has a kind heart. He dedicates two days every month to providing free medical consultations, and not only that, he also gives free medicine to some impoverished people...

Tsk tsk, he is a well-known good person in Ruifeng City. I wonder how many poor families are grateful for his kindness! It seems like he's here today for a free clinic again."

Chen Ze withdrew his gaze upon hearing this, and the information he had just seen resurfaced in his mind.

"Cultivating the seventh level of Demon Dao Qi Refining, practicing the introductory chapter of Mind Demon Technique, mastering the Demon Technique Transformed Spirit Palm, Star Treading Step, and the secret technique One Thought Immortal Demon. Possessing a Supreme Grade demonic weapon, the Immortal Demon Staff, a High Grade spiritual armor, the Absorbing Spirit Armor, and Low Grade Spirit Pills, the Healing Pills..."

"This person's strength is formidable!"

Chen Ze sighed inwardly.

Reaching the seventh level of Demon Dao Qi Refining alone would be fine, but the key is that this person also possesses a Supreme Grade demonic weapon and a High Grade spiritual armor.

This can be considered the strongest cultivation foundation of a Demonic Cultivator that he has seen in the past three days.

Of course, if it were just these, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to him, and the odds would be fifty-fifty.

But the problem is that this person has mastered a secret technique called One Thought Immortal Demon.

While cultivating Demon Dao relies on absorbing the power of faith, this secret technique, One Thought Immortal Demon, can instantly drain all the vitality of the believers to replenish oneself, thereby gaining power far beyond one's own cultivation level in a short period of time.

This Ye Tang has a high reputation in Ruifeng City, and he probably has many followers. If he were to use this secret technique, he could probably raise his cultivation level by at least two realms in an instant.

Originally at the seventh level of Qi Refining, raising it by two realms... what chance would he have?

In any case, with his current strength, if he were to encounter Ye Tang going all out, he would probably not even have a chance to escape.

"Danger! This person is so terrifying! I must not provoke him!"

Chen Ze secretly warned himself.

On his third day in Ruifeng City, he unexpectedly discovered a Demonic Cultivator who could threaten his life before leaving.

"Wang Tou-er, has the Ye family experienced any major changes?" Chen Ze asked curiously after coming back to his senses.

Among the six major factions of Demon Dao, the most difficult to deal with is naturally the legendary Heavenly Demon Dao, followed by the Mind Demon Dao.

The conditions for practicing Mind Demon Dao are extremely harsh, requiring a person of utmost goodness to experience some kind of change and transform into a person of utmost evil in order to cultivate.

With the appearance of a Bodhisattva but a wicked heart, this is the greatest characteristic of Mind Demon Dao Demonic Cultivators.

And the more extreme this transformation, the stronger the talent of the Mind Demon Dao cultivator and the faster their progress.

Since Ye Tang has cultivated Mind Demon Dao, it is likely that he was once a good person and experienced some kind of change to become the person he is now.

"Changes? Well... if we're talking about the biggest change the Ye family has experienced in recent years, it's probably the passing of the Ye family patriarch," Wang Tou-er said, a touch of regret appearing on his weathered face.

"The late Ye patriarch was also a good person. When the young master Ye was still young, he often took him out to provide free medical consultations...

But two years ago, something happened. At that time, there was an epidemic in Ruifeng City, and the Ye patriarch provided medical consultations to a group of plague-stricken refugees. When it was the turn of a young man among them, the Ye patriarch saw that the young man was beyond saving and had no medicine left, so he chose to give up and save the others who still had a chance.

Later, that young man died of the disease, but unexpectedly, the young man's father held a grudge and blamed the Ye patriarch, believing it was his fault. So when the Ye patriarch was out on one occasion, that person directly rushed out and stabbed the Ye patriarch in a vital spot..."

(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full nuances of the original Chinese text.)

Speaking of this, Wang Touer sighed deeply.

"Ah... It is said that Young Master Ye was also present at that time... It was really tragic. So, you see, good people don't necessarily receive good rewards.

Fortunately, Young Master Ye did not hold any grudges against these people. Instead, after inheriting the medical clinic, he continued to provide free medical consultations."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

As a kind young man who had been influenced by his father, he had witnessed his father being killed by the very people they often helped...

In such a situation, it was normal for one's values to collapse and fall into the Demon Dao.

No wonder this person practiced Demon Dao.

Chen Ze couldn't help but look back again.

At the end of the line of free medical consultations, Ye Tang had a gentle smile on his face, like a warm spring breeze. He was taking the pulse of an old man. However, Chen Ze faintly saw a terrifying demon behind him, as if it wanted to tear the whole world apart.

And the people in the line were like walking corpses, being sent into the mouth of the demon one by one.

"This Young Master Ye is truly remarkable. The next time I have a chance to visit Ruifeng City, I must visit the Ye family's medical clinic."

After retracting his gaze, Chen Ze added.

"Hehe, Chen Gongzi, you are also a good person. You young people might become friends after meeting a few times."

Wang Touer replied with a smile.

"Hopefully."

Chen Ze smiled as well, then he retreated into the carriage.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately took out a map of Ruifeng City and marked the location of the Ye family's medical clinic, along with a large area around it.

"This is a restricted area, absolutely not to be approached!"

...

The caravan continued to move along the street.

For some reason, ever since seeing Ye Tang, Chen Ze had been missing his senior sister even more.

Although he had prepared one or two gifts to give to his senior sister, he now felt that they were somewhat inadequate.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help himself any longer. He immediately opened the curtain and said to Wang Touer beside the carriage, "Wang Touer, I'm going to buy some more things. Let's meet at the city gate."

"Well..."

Wang Touer hesitated.

He was worried that Chen Gongzi wouldn't be able to catch up in time, and the caravan would have to leave.

Before he could speak again, Chen Ze directly handed him a silver ingot.

Feeling the weight of the silver ingot in his hand, the worried expression on Wang Touer's face disappeared.

"Chen Gongzi, go ahead. Just make sure to arrive at the city gate within two hours!"

"Haha, it won't take that long. At most half an hour."

Chen Ze said and jumped off the carriage, heading towards the shops on both sides of the street.

After a while, he bought a pile of local specialties, snacks, and various interesting toys, which he put into his storage bag.

Seeing the pile of items in his bag, he finally felt a little relieved.
