I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 44

Ch 44: Did Nothing, Just Recognized a Second Brother

Qi Meng’s face was full of anger, her jade finger pointing straight at Lin Tian, as she scolded in a delicate voice, “You… you, hmph, you lecher!”

Wei Changfeng quickly spoke up, shouting, “Alright, Qi Meng! I’m fine.”

Qi Meng! Lin Tian heard this name and felt a sense of familiarity.

After Wei Changfeng spoke, he stretched his muscles and bones, and looked up at Lin Tian. This look caused a shock in his heart.

The person in front of him was so young, yet his strength was so powerful.

Wei Changfeng laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration, and said loudly, “Truly, the younger generation surpasses the old! I am Wei Changfeng of the Tiger’s Roar Army, may I know this young brother’s honorable name?”

Lin Tian’s expression was stern, he slightly raised his eyes, and replied in an indifferent tone, “Lin Tian.”

“Put down your sabers.” Wei Changfeng waved his hand at the soldiers beside him.

The soldiers looked at each other, their hearts filled with surprise.

Lin Yu stared blankly at Lin Tian, a feeling of indescribable discomfort welling up in his heart. Looking at Lin Tian’s appearance, his age was similar to his own, but their strength was worlds apart.

Wei Changfeng then asked, “May I know why this young brother has left the pass? And under the cover of this vast night.”

Lin Tian’s expression was stern, and he said unhappily, “I want to ask you, what are your intentions in letting Fusang spies infiltrate my Great Liang and destroy the Wu River dike?”

Wei Changfeng frowned, “Spies? What spies? Young brother, please explain in detail.”

Lin Tian snorted, “I don’t have time to waste effort with you. If you want to see the result, go see for yourself.”

“The river dike has been breached, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you all drown.”

Lin Tian’s eyes were like torches, scanning the crowd, “Didn’t you see any Fusang spies running past here?”

Everyone was confused, their minds unable to process it.

Lin Yu said, “There are no Fusang spies, we are stationed at the border pass, not even a mosquito can fly past, spies are even more impossible.”

Lin Tian “hehe” smiled, his tone strange, “Then you are useless. I think you shouldn’t be called the Tiger’s Roar Army, just call yourselves the Caterpillar Army.”

The expression on Lin Yu’s face was ugly, and he angrily shouted, “Boy… you!”

Lin Tian did not intend to entangle with him, leaving a sentence, “I think you should all pray for your own good fortune.”

After saying that, with a leap, he returned to the river surface and sped away.

From afar, only Lin Tian’s voice could be heard: “A bunch of rats, if you dare to block my pursuit of spies again, I’ll use you as a sacrifice to heaven.”

Lin Tian didn’t dare to stay any longer, if he stayed any longer, he would be exposed, so he quickly slipped away before they could react. There were no Fusang spies, but it was true that the river dike had been breached.

Lin Yu’s face was very unsightly: “Commander, are we just letting him leave the pass like that? What he said was so assertive, I think he looks more like a spy.”

Wei Changfeng glanced at him, “If you want to keep him, then go and stop him.”

Wei Changfeng’s heart was gloomy, if the situation didn’t prevent it, he really wanted to have another fight with Lin Tian.

To have such skill at such a young age was truly extraordinary.

His expression gradually became serious. If the river dike was really breached, not only would the people of Beiliang suffer, but their Tiger’s Roar Army would also be affected.

Regardless of whether what Lin Tian said was true or not, Wei Changfeng had to go and take a look at this moment.

Wei Changfeng quickly issued an order to Lin Yu: “Bring the troops and follow me to take a look.”

………………………………

Lin Tian headed north all the way, crossed towering mountains, and crossed fierce rivers, finally leaving Great Liang.

The sky was dark, and he saw firelight in the distance. Lin Tian thought it should be the Da Wu army’s base.

But it was a bit far away, and Lin Tian didn’t care. They couldn’t see Lin Tian, and Lin Tian couldn’t see them either.

Lin Tian felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, he made up his mind: “Better a dead Daoist than a dead friend. Since my own home is flooded, I’ll divert the disaster eastward.”

“Eh!”

“Looks like I don’t need to take action.”

Directly in front of Lin Tian, the Wu River had already broken a large hole, tens of meters long, with the river water gushing out.

“A thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant hole. Are both this Great Liang and Da Wu so careless? Since ancient times, river management has been of utmost importance.”

“Why are they both so careless.”

Lin Tian revealed a wry smile, not knowing if it was good or bad, he felt it was a bit too coincidental.

“Go home, leave the rest to fate.”

Just as Lin Tian was preparing to return, on the surging river water, a black object was floating, drifting with the current. This scene immediately attracted Lin Tian’s attention.

Raindrops fell on the river surface, rippling in layers. The black object was looming in the rain.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, thinking it was a piece of wood, but after taking a closer look, he found that it seemed to be a person.

Lin Tian’s expression was calm, not afraid of being a water ghost: “I don’t know if he’s dead or alive, but if he’s not dead, you’re lucky to meet me.”

After saying that, he lightly tapped his toes, like a swallow skimming across the river surface. He grabbed the floating person and brought him back to the shore.

Lin Tian was shocked in his heart, looking at the man in leather armor in front of him, wasn’t this the guy who used the emperor to command the feudal lords?

What! Did he really kidnap Li Qiye? Looking like this, he must have been chased and killed.

At this time, although the rain was not as heavy as before, it was still not small.

Looking around, this place was desolate and uninhabited, not even a place to shelter from the rain.

In the end, Lin Tian found a large rock and placed this person on it to get rained on. There was no way, he really couldn’t find a place to shelter from the rain.

Lin Tian waved his hands, and internal energy was mobilized, turning into strands of True Qi, enveloping this person’s whole body.

A warm True Qi slowly injected, in this cold rain, the internal energy was like a ball of flame, dispelling the cold.

“Cough! Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough…”

After a while, this person slowly woke up, coughing repeatedly.

Lin Tian also frowned, this person’s internal injuries were extremely serious, he was able to survive entirely because his ancestors were supporting him from below. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times.

The man in leather armor opened his eyes, and suddenly his face tightened, shouting “Longevity Pill.”

Then he hurriedly opened the handkerchief in his hand, only to see a black patch in the handkerchief. Where was the Longevity Pill?

The man in leather armor shook his head and sighed softly: “Alas! Lost, it is fate.”

The man in leather armor looked at Lin Tian, a complex look in his eyes. The good news was that he recognized him, the bad news was that they were not familiar.

He cupped his hands at Lin Tian: “Thank you for saving my life, I am Murong Jie, may I know the honorable name of my benefactor?”

Lin Tian smiled and replied, “Lin Tian!”

“What, is this the Longevity Pill you are looking for? How did it become a ball of black mud?”

Lin Tian pinched a little black mud and smelled it on his nose, there really was a earthy smell, this guy was cheated.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Murong Jie’s mouth, looking at the surrounding environment, he frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: “Where is this…”

Lin Tian folded his arms across his chest, and slightly raised his chin: “This is Da Wu. You’re lucky to meet me.”

Lin Tian changed the subject and asked, “Is Li Qiye dead or not?”

Murong Jie truthfully replied, “No, but I did kidnap him, his master doesn’t have martial morality.”

“We agreed that she would give the medicine with one hand, and I would release the person with the other, but after that woman released the person, she attacked me.”

“What a despicable and shameless villain, if she doesn’t kill me this time, I’ll make her look good next time.”

The corner of Lin Tian’s mouth twitched, this person’s brain must be broken. You kidnapped someone’s disciple, wanted their elixir pill, and didn’t want them to fight back, where is the justice?

Lin Tian “hehe” smiled, his tone slightly sarcastic: “Your pill is also fake, it has an earthy taste, how could it be a Longevity Pill.”

“I said you should take a good look at it. Besides, after kidnapping Li Qiye, why return him? Keep him, and you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life.”

Murong Jie smiled: “What would I want with a big man?”

Murong Jie looked at Lin Tian with a sincere face: “I, Murong Jie, have no way to repay such great kindness.”

“From today onwards, I am willing to recognize you as my Eldest Brother. Eldest Brother, come with me to Da Wu, let me thank you properly.”

The corner of Lin Tian’s mouth twitched: “How old are you this year?”

Murong Jie was a little embarrassed: “What old age, I’m only twenty-one.”

“Then you grew up pretty fast.” Lin Tian joked.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, his expression indifferent: “No, if you want to leave, leave quickly, if you wait any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.”

Murong Jie looked puzzled: “What does Eldest Brother mean by this?”

Lin Tian pointed his finger forward, and Murong Jie looked in the direction Lin Tian pointed.

He saw that the opening that was originally only a dozen meters wide had now become dozens of meters wide.

A look of surprise appeared in Murong Jie’s eyes, but it quickly calmed down, waving his hand and saying: “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.”

“There are not many people within a hundred miles of this place, only my Da Wu soldiers are stationed here. I’ll tell them to evacuate later.”

“Eldest Brother, come with me to Da Wu. Why suffer such disdain in Great Liang?”

Murong Jie’s words implied the matter of Su Yifeng last time.

Lin Tian turned his head and asked, “Don’t you want to know why it became like this? Why did a good dike break?”

Murong Jie “Oh” said: “Why?”

Lin Tian said pretentiously, “Because of Fusang, I have been chasing them all the way from Great Liang.”

“They first destroyed the dike opening of Great Liang, causing several counties in Beiliang to suffer.”

“After that, I chased all the way, chased to Da Wu, and then the person disappeared.”

“I saw that the dike opening of Da Wu was also broken.”

After speaking, Lin Tian shook his head, his expression full of sadness, “Pitiful are the common people of the world, why should they suffer such tribulations.”

After hearing this, Murong Jie immediately echoed, “Eldest Brother is really concerned about the common people of the world.”

“But this Fusang is really hateful, when I return to Da Wu, I will report to my imperial father, and send troops to pacify them.”

After a few words, Lin Tian already had a judgment in his heart.

This person should be a prince of Da Wu, but why did he come to seek the Longevity Pill? Could it be that the emperor of Da Wu is dying soon?

Lin Tian’s expression was heroic: “Good, since you call me Eldest Brother, then I will recognize you as my Second Brother.”

“Then I wonder, Second Brother, why are you seeking the Longevity Pill?”

Murong Jie’s expression dimmed, his eyes full of sorrow. He slowly said, “For my poor sister.”

“She has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and in recent years, she has unfortunately contracted a terminal illness. My imperial father has searched for famous doctors all over the world, and used all kinds of methods, but still cannot stop the deterioration of her condition.”

“I really have no way out, so I had to resort to this strategy.”

Lin Tian frowned as he listened: “Since you call me Eldest Brother, then I won’t let you suffer a loss.”

“I have an elixir pill here, which is even more powerful than the Longevity Pill.”

Murong Jie’s face was full of sadness, but when he heard that Lin Tian had an elixir pill that was even more powerful than the Longevity Pill, his expression instantly became extremely excited: “Eldest Brother, really?”

Lin Tian smiled triumphantly: “Of course, it’s just that I don’t know if it can save people.”

“Treating an illness requires the right medicine, what if my elixir pill is not the right one…”

Murong Jie hurriedly said, “Eldest Brother, it doesn’t matter, let’s treat a dead horse as if it were a live one. My sister, in a few more days, it will be too late to treat her even if we wanted to.”

“Okay” Saying that, Lin Tian took out two Marrow Cleansing Pills.

The elixir pill presented a white jade color, revealing bursts of fragrance. In this dark night, you could even see a little bit of fine silver light.

The fragrance of the pill floated out, Murong Jie smelled a faint fragrance, and instantly felt refreshed, even the pain on his body was reduced a lot.

His eyes glowed, exclaiming: “Divine Pill.”

Lin Tian said, “This pill is much more precious than any Longevity Pill. There are a total of ten pills in the whole world, I gave you two, and now there are seven left. Each one is of immeasurable value.”

Lin Tian was not boasting, he didn’t know if this pill could save people, but it was very powerful for increasing strength.

After he ate it, not only were the injuries on his body completely healed, but even the meridians on his body were a circle thicker, and he even felt that the use of internal energy and True Qi was more in line with nature.

Lin Tian felt that this pill might be a bit unreliable for saving people, but it wouldn’t be counterproductive. Even if it can’t be saved, it can delay it for a few days, right?

Murong Jie looked at Lin Tian with deep affection: “Eldest Brother.”

“Second Brother.”

“Eldest Brother.”

“Second Brother.”

“Stop, stop, stop… Take the elixir pill and leave quickly. After this pill leaves my hand, its medicinal properties are lost every minute and every second. If you go too late, I’m afraid it will become a waste pill.”

Murong Jie looked nervous: “Time is of the essence, I’ll go back immediately.”

“Eldest Brother, you…”

Lin Tian waved his hand: “I’m not going, it’s boring.”
