The Game with Fairies - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Brother, It’s Time for Your Medicine

“Elder Brother, it’s time for your medicine…”

In the peach grove filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, Li Muyang groggily opened his eyes and took the soup medicine handed to him by Xiao Yecao.

The colorful soup medicine, brewed from unknown ingredients, lacked the foul stench typical of herbal concoctions, and was instead fragrant and sweet.

There were even scattered peach petals floating on the surface of the medicine.

After drinking the bowl of soup medicine, Li Muyang suddenly coughed.

“Uh… what’s… what’s happened to me?”

He looked around at the peach grove with some confusion, feeling an inexplicable familiarity.

This seems like the very place where immortals are buried…

But didn’t he already quit the game 《Dragonkin Awakening》?

Shouldn’t he be in 《Deadly Weed》 doing daily quests with Xiao Yecao?

How did he end up in this peach grove?

Li Muyang was somewhat puzzled.

Behind Xiao Yecao, a gentle female voice sounded.

“You suddenly fell ill with a serious sickness, so I brought you to my home for treatment…”

He had never heard this woman’s voice before.

Li Muyang instinctively looked up, his gaze passing over Xiao Yecao to the figure behind her.

Standing quietly in the bamboo forest was an exquisitely beautiful fairy.

She held a peach blossom staff, her smile was gentle, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

However, as their eyes met, Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat.

–This woman looked exactly like the immortal remains he saw in the CG when he entered the burial ground of the immortals!

F*ck!

Did Xiao Yecao actually travel to the lands beyond the Great Wall from ten thousand years ago and meet that immortal?

Then Xiao Yecao introduced her, “Elder Brother, this is the Peach Blossom Fairy, she’s the one who saved you.”

Xiao Yecao was quite grateful.

Li Muyang fell silent, subconsciously opening his character log.

The plot of 《Deadly Weed》 moved too fast, and the system quickly skipped over many minor storylines.

Sometimes he would be standing on a mountain peak overlooking the sea of clouds, and the next second he would be arguing with someone on the streets.

Whenever an unfamiliar storyline appeared and he was unclear about the cause and effect, Li Muyang would check his character log.

But this time, he miscalculated.

The quest log was blank, with the last record being his time at Yangshou Mountain listening to the immortal’s teachings.

There were no records after that, and it was unclear how he fell ill and came to this place.

Seeing Li Muyang’s surprised expression, Xiao Yecao explained.

“Elder Brother, when you were listening to me and the old immortal at Yangshou Mountain, you suddenly fainted and fell ill.”

“Fortunately, the Peach Blossom Fairy was visiting the old immortal and passed by. She is quite knowledgeable in medicine and brought us back to her home, where she carefully treated you, Elder Brother, and that’s why you woke up.”

Xiao Yecao recounted the situation.

Li Muyang then understood the cause and effect but was still curious.

“I fell seriously ill while listening to your discussion? And it required an immortal’s help to be saved?”

Li Muyang was confused: “What illness did I have?”

Ordinary diseases could be cured by Xiao Yecao with a bit of spiritual energy.

After all, spiritual energy can enhance vitality, and there’s hardly any disease that vitality can’t heal on its own.

This disease that Xiao Yecao and an old immortal from Yangshou Mountain could not handle, which required the Peach Blossom Fairy to bring him home for treatment…

Could it be that Jiang Xiaoyu’s character had cancer?

Or some disease even more terrible than cancer?

But there were no signs before, so how did he suddenly fall seriously ill?

Li Muyang found it strange.

Xiao Yecao and the Peach Blossom Fairy exchanged glances, and the Peach Blossom Fairy sighed softly, retreating silently.

In the peach grove, only Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao remained.

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yecao hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke honestly.

“…It’s your Spiritual Vision Eye, Elder Brother.”

“When you left Black Cloud Village, you looked directly at an ancient evil god with your naked eye, activating the evil vein power within you and obtaining the Spiritual Vision Eye.”

“It’s a cursed power. The more you use the Spiritual Vision Eye, the closer you get to the ancient evil god, and your soul will be tainted.”

“Over the years, I’ve taken you to roam the mountains and waters, gathering the spiritual energy from various ley line nodes to resist the evil god’s corruption, but we still couldn’t completely prevent the Spiritual Vision Eye from eroding you, Elder Brother.”

Xiao Yecao said, sighing: “This time, the accumulated evil power erupted all at once, nearly taking away your mind.”

“Thankfully, the Peach Blossom Fairy is proficient in medicine and has fought against the ancient evil god. She understands that kind of sinister power and managed to save you.”

Xiao Yecao spoke softly.

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment, somewhat taken aback.

“Spiritual Vision Eye…”

Damn, so the Spiritual Vision Eye that wasn’t exempted by the system has such terrible consequences?

“Is there a cure for me?”

Li Muyang asked Xiao Yecao in front of him.

He originally thought that Xiao Yecao’s roaming was her hobby, but now he realized that her dragging him around was actually to treat his illness?

Thinking of this, Li Muyang suddenly understood something else.

“You’ve been unable to become an immortal all this time… could it be because of me?”

Xiao Yecao was only a step away from the realm of immortality over a decade ago.

But after so many years, she was still stuck at that level.

He had thought that Xiao Yecao had hit a bottleneck, but now Li Muyang suspected that it was because of him holding her back that she couldn’t become an immortal.

Li Muyang vaguely grasped the core information of the fourth stage.

However, Xiao Yecao shook her head and said, “Your illness indeed affected my state of mind, Elder Brother, but not significantly.”

“The reason I can’t become an immortal is something else.”

Xiao Yecao seemed reluctant to discuss this matter and quickly moved on from the topic.

“The Peach Blossom Fairy said that it’s difficult for her to eliminate the soul’s corruption.”

“But the demon race in Yellow Wind Valley has a deep understanding of sinister corruption. She suggested that we visit Yellow Wind Valley.”

“Since you, Elder Brother, have the Yellow Wind Token, let’s stay here with the Peach Blossom Fairy for a few more days, then head to Yellow Wind Valley. It happens to be on this land as well.”

Back in the third stage of the game, Li Muyang helped the demon Wei Sandao escape the Myriad Great Mountains and evade the evil god’s pursuit.

At that time, Wei Sandao gave him a Yellow Wind Token, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy now.

“The demon race of Yellow Wind Valley can cure it?” Li Muyang was quite surprised.

He had never heard that these demons had such abilities.

To this, Xiao Yecao nodded with a wry smile, “If it weren’t for the Peach Blossom Fairy telling us, I would have never imagined.”

“Originally, the ancestors of the Yellow Wind Valley demon race fought side by side with the evil vein clan and were allies.”

“Perhaps Wei Sandao saw your illness back then and guessed that you might fall ill in the future, so he specifically left the Yellow Wind Token for you, Elder Brother, to seek him out.”

Li Muyang recalled the content of the game and sighed silently.

“This Wei Sandao, although he’s a mama’s boy, is quite righteous…”

However, this place turned out to be the burial ground of immortals that he would enter thousands of years later.

Rising to his feet in the peach grove, Li Muyang squinted at the splendid peach blossoms before him and said,

“Since we’re here, let’s take a stroll through the Peach Blossom Fairy’s paradise.”

Consider it a reconnaissance mission, getting to know the lay of the land in advance.
