The mountainous area of northwestern China is like a primitive area, with no roads, no cars, and even few people.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a lonely thatched hut. There are many herbs planted in the open space outside the grass house, and the fragrance of medicine is overflowing.

There is not much space in the grass room, only a bed and a desk, which is filled with books and various kinds of straw paper.

At this time, there was an old man with a white beard lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his face serene.

A teenager who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old sat on the edge of the bed.

"Xiao Xia, I really envy you, you have only lived for eighty-one years, and you can die peacefully. Fang Yu looked at the old man who had just passed away on the bed, and said to himself with a smile.

"Alas, I'm miserable, I don't know how many years I have to live. Fang Yu sighed, there was pain in his eyes, more helplessness.

It has been nearly 5,000 years since he stepped into the path of cultivation.

During this long period of time, Fang Yu could not die, and the realm was never able to take a step forward.

After cultivating for nearly five thousand years, he is still in the Qi refining period!

That's right, the Qi Refining Period!The most basic realm of the cultivation path!

According to strict standards, the Qi refining period cannot even be regarded as a realm, it can only be regarded as a period of body refining.

Only after building the foundation can you truly step into the path of cultivating immortals.

But Fang Yu had been stuck at this stage of the Qi Refining Period, and he couldn't take a step forward.

For thousands of years, he has swallowed tens of thousands of Tsukidan, but it has no effect at all.

A thousand years ago, Fang Yu's master also comforted him, saying that it was because his spiritual root was stronger than anyone else, so he had to wait a little longer for qi refining.

But a thousand years had passed, and Fang Yu still couldn't break through to the foundation building period.

At this time, his master also felt that he was mistaken, Fang Yu was actually just a mortal without any spiritual roots?

But how can a mortal live for thousands of years without even showing signs of aging?

Later, Fang Yu's master successfully crossed the catastrophe, ascended to immortality, and left the earth.

After that, no one cared about Fang Yu's realm anymore.

As time passes, the aura's resources on earth become thinner and thinner.

On the earth today, even if Fang Yu can break through the realm, he is destined to be unable to cross the catastrophe and become an immortal.

But Fang Yu had never thought of crossing the tribulation to become an immortal, he just wanted to break through this damn Qi refining period!

This is his obsession.

By today, he had cultivated to the ninth thousand, eight hundred and thirty-second layer of the Qi Refining Period. As for ordinary monks, as long as they cultivate to the twelfth layer, they can break through to the foundation building stage.

As soon as he thought of cultivation, Fang Yu felt a little depressed.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the papyrus on his desk filled with prescriptions.

"I knew that you would become such a medicine idiot, I shouldn't have taught you medical skills back then!" Fang Yu shook his head lightly and said helplessly.

According to Xiao Xia's last wish, he wanted to sort out these prescriptions and take them away.

Not long after he had just started tidying up, he heard some noisy footsteps, and immediately raised his head and looked in a direction outside the window of the grass house.

Xiao Xia has built a grass house in this kind of place, and he can still be found?

Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Ten minutes later, the group came to the grass house.

There were seven people in total, including two young men and women, an old man in a wheelchair, and four sturdy men in suits and leather shoes, who looked like bodyguards.

Seeing the old man in a wheelchair exuding a dead air, Fang Yu knew that this group of people must have come to seek medical treatment.

"Xia Yaoshen, hello, my name is Tang Feng, we are from the Tang family in Jiangnan, we want to ask you to give me ......" The handsome young man stepped forward and said loudly.

Fang Yu pushed open the door and interrupted him.

"You're late, Xia Xiuzhi just passed away. ”

What the!?

The faces of everyone present changed.

Xia Xiuzhi, the god of medicine they were looking for...... Actually passed away!?

"How, how could it be ......" Tang Feng's face turned pale and he looked at Fang Yu blankly.

In order to get rid of the serious illness on Old Man Tang's body, they used the resources of the entire family and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find out the location of Xia Xiuzhi, the god of medicine, who had been in the world for nearly twenty years.

After a lot of hardships, they finally found the grass house where Xia Xiuzhi lived, but they didn't expect it, but what they got was this news!

"How could it be so coincidental? We just found ...... No, Xia Yaoshen definitely didn't pass away, he just avoided the world and didn't want to see us!" said the delicate-looking young girl's beautiful eyes flushed.

"Yes, the God of Medicine must still be in the grass house!" Tang Feng's eyes shone with hope, and he stepped directly into the grass house.

Then, he saw Xia Xiuzhi lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Tang Feng observed carefully and found that the old man on the bed was indeed no longer breathing.

"Why, how could it be like this......" Tang Feng only felt that his hope was shattered, and he lost his strength all over his body.

"I said, Xia Xiuzhi has passed away, you can go back. Fang Yu frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Tang Feng's move of breaking into the grass house.

Tang Feng suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Fang Yu, and asked, "You are the apprentice of the God of Medicine, right? You must have also inherited the medical skills of the God of Medicine, you can treat our grandfather, as long as it can be cured, we are willing to pay no matter how much money it is!"

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not his apprentice...... I'm just an old friend of his. ”

In fact, strictly speaking, Fang Yu was Xia Xiuzhi's master.

Xia Xiuzhi, who was only fifteen years old at the time, embarked on the road of medical Taoism under the guidance of Fang Yu. Of course, there is no need to say these words, and no one will believe them when they say them.

However, even the old friend seems strange.

Fang Yu looked less than twenty years old, while Xia Xiuzhidu was in his eighties, the two were not in the same age group at all, how could they be called old friends?

However, no one thought about it at this time, and the group was immersed in the despair of dashed hope.

Old Man Tang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, completely lost his life after hearing the news of Xia Xiuzhi's death, and his eyes were gray.

Providence is so! His fate has come! There is no need to struggle anymore!

When the young girl saw her grandfather like this, she was so sad that her tears could not stop flowing.

Fang Yu frowned slightly, looked at Old Man Tang, and suddenly said, "You have lived for seventy-three years, you should have lived enough, why do you still want to live?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, curious how Fang Yu would know Old Man Tang's age.

But when they heard Fang Yu's words later, their faces changed.

Enough to live?

Where in this world will anyone live enough?

What does this phrase mean!?

Provocation?

"You bastard, what do you mean!?" Tang Feng's face turned pale, and he smashed a punch into Fang Yu's chest.

Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and his body did not move.

"Bang!"

Before Tang Feng's fist touched Fang Yu, he was hit by a huge force, and the whole person flew backwards and fell to the ground.

The faces of the others present changed drastically and they were shocked.

It was obviously Tang Feng who punched, but this young man didn't even move, why did Tang Feng fall to the ground instead?

"Brother!" the pretty girl screamed.

The four bodyguards reacted and immediately took a few steps forward and walked in front of Fang Yu.

"Don't do it!" ordered Old Man Tang, who was in a wheelchair, in a hoarse voice.

The four bodyguards immediately stopped.

Tang Feng clutched his chest, got up from the ground, and looked at Fang Yu with frightened eyes.

"Little brother, we are rude, may I ask what is your name?" asked Old Man Tang.

"Fang Yu. Fang Yu replied.

Old Man Tang bowed slightly, and said, "Just now, little brother, you asked me why I still want to live, and I can answer." ”

"Because I want to continue to spend time with my family, I want to watch my grandchildren grow up, watch them start a family, watch them have offspring...... Isn't that what people are all like? Watching from generation to generation. Old Man Tang said with a smile.

"Grandpa......" Hearing Old Man Tang's words, the girl on the side cried even more sadly.

Family......

Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly.

For him, family has been a long time ago, but for mortals, family has always existed, generation after generation.

And the vast majority of mortals, who wouldn't want to live a little longer?

"You have terminal lung cancer, and you have less than three months to live, so enjoy the last period of your life. Fang Yu said, turned back to the grass house, and closed the door.

And the Tang family was stunned.

How could Fang Yu tell at a glance that Old Man Tang had lung cancer? And just like those doctors said, Old Man Tang only had less than three months to live?

He, sure enough, is the apprentice of the God of Medicine!

After reacting, Tang Feng knocked on the door of the grass house again and shouted, "Mr. Fang, you are definitely the apprentice of the God of Medicine, right? Please treat my grandfather, we ......."

"Life and death are fate. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being unkind. Fang Yu's calm voice came from inside the grass house.

"Healer benevolence, how can you see death without saving ......" Tang Feng said with anger.

"Feng'er, come back. Old Man Tang said.

"Grandpa!" Tang Feng's eyes were red, and he turned his head to look at Old Man Tang.

"Little brother is right, life and death are fate, God wants me to die, how can I not die? Let's go. Old Man Tang said.

"Little brother, I have great respect for Mr. Xia, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xia had passed away...... Today's arrival has disturbed Mr. Xia, I'm very sorry, I hope Mr. Xia doesn't blame him in the spirit of heaven. Old Man Tang said sincerely.

After saying that, he beckoned the group to turn around and leave.

Although Tang Feng was unwilling, since Old Man Tang ordered him, he had no choice but to leave.

On the way back, everyone didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Tang Feng noticed that his sister on the side was thoughtful, frowned and asked, "Xiaorou, what are you thinking?"

Tang Xiaorou frowned slightly, and muttered, "I always feel ...... This Fang Yu was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. ”

"How is this possible, this is the first time we have come to the Northwest Region, how can you have met this Fang Yu?" Tang Feng said.

"Yes, too...... However, it really feels familiar to me. Tang Xiaorou rubbed her temples and said.

Tang Feng was in a bad mood and no longer paid attention to Tang Xiaorou, just thinking that she had recognized the wrong person.

However, after walking a few more steps, Tang Xiaorou suddenly stopped.

"I, I remember, I saw him at school!"
