Xi Wei's question infuriated the twelve armored cultivators, but they didn't know how to answer it.
Xiao Lingyu had actually been conscious the whole time. His plan was to save these armored cultivators, then pretend to be seriously injured and unconscious. Then, he would have a chance to sneak into the village.
Of course, he didn't have any bad intentions when he sneaked into the village. He just wanted to have a chance to interact with people and learn more about the Realm of the Gods.
However, he didn't expect that being carried to the entrance of the village in such a state would arouse suspicion.
"If there's something wrong with him, why would he save our lives?" One of the armored cultivators asked.
"That's right. If there's nothing wrong with him, why would he save you? Is it just out of kindness? "Xi Wei asked.
"You can't stop us from bringing him into the village just because you suspect that there's something wrong with him, right? If there's nothing wrong with him, it would be ungrateful of us to stop him from entering the village, "one of the armored cultivators said calmly.
"You all know that this is a special time for our village. Last time, those wolf demons and birds attacked us together, causing us to suffer heavy losses. It's not a good time to bring an unknown cultivator into the village. If he's here to spy on us, we'll be in trouble," Xi Wei said confidently.
"This is just a suspicion. There's no proof. I think you're overthinking it, Xi Wei," one of the armored cultivators said.
"Haha, Kang Ping, if he's really a spy and you bring him into the village, he'll leave after getting the information he wants. Then, he'll bring great losses to the Linggu Valley. Can you bear the responsibility?" Xi Wei asked the armored cultivator with a smile.
"I …"
The armored cultivator called Kang Ping thought for a moment, then said firmly, "Although I can't bear the responsibility, I can use my life as a guarantee. If he's a spy, I'm willing to die as an apology."
"We're all willing to guarantee it!" the other eleven armored cultivators echoed.
In the eyes of these armored cultivators, their lives had been saved by this person. If worse came to worst, they would just return it to him. Before they could confirm this, this cultivator lying on the stretcher was their benefactor.
"Even if you're willing to guarantee it, I can't. I have to be responsible for the entire village," Xi Wei said coldly.
"Then we can only ask the village chief to make a decision."
As Kang Ping spoke, he entered the valley alone.
In just 10 minutes, Kang Ping had already returned to the iron gate, and he even invited a white-haired and white-bearded old man over.
This old man should be the village chief of the Linggu Valley. When he reached the door, he first sized up Xiao Lingyu, then said to Xi Weiyan, "Carry him into the village first."
"But, village chief …" Xi Wei clearly felt that something was amiss.
"Just get someone to keep a close eye on him. Don't let him walk around the village while he's recuperating. Once his injuries are healed, just send him out of the village," the village chief instructed. Then, he turned around and left, not giving Xi Wei a chance to speak.
Since the village head had spoken, Xi Wei naturally didn't dare to continue blocking the door. He could only watch as the twelve armored cultivators carried Xiao Lingyu into the village.
In the valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, there weren't many buildings. There were only thatched cottages, wooden buildings, and stone buildings. Moreover, they weren't built very high.
Outside the valley, there was danger everywhere. There were many wolf demons and birds that constantly threatened the safety of travelers. However, inside the valley, it was very peaceful. Although the villagers were also in a hurry, their expressions were very relaxed.
After the twelve armored cultivators entered the valley, they were surrounded by many people. There were children and women among these people. Their faces were filled with obvious concern, as if they were the armored cultivators' family members.
There were no eyes here, but he could hear everyone's conversation. He suddenly felt that this was very different from the Realm of the Gods that he had imagined. It was more like a village in the secular world near a forest, and the people in this village made a living by hunting.
Xiao Lingyu was carried to a stone house in a corner of the valley, then placed on a stone bed.
The stone bed was covered with a soft animal skin, and it was quite comfortable to lie on.
"You all stay here and watch. I'll go get Yueru's medicine master to treat him."
After Kang Ping said this, he left the stone house.
Not long after, Kang Ping returned, but there was an additional girl beside him who looked like she was in her late teens.
"Medicine master Yueru, do you think he can still be saved? He's already been injured and unconscious for several days. "Kang Ping pointed at Xiao Lingyu on the stone bed and asked.
Although Yueru looked young, she was very calm. She stood in front of the bed for a while, and her eyebrows furrowed even tighter. This made the twelve armored cultivators more and more nervous.
After looking for a while, Yueru swept her sleeves across Xiao Lingyu's body, and a light blue screen of light enveloped Xiao Lingyu's body. Then, Xiao Lingyu felt a gentle energy seeping into his body. The comfortable feeling made him want to moan.
The blue screen of light gradually disappeared, and Yueru said to Kang Ping, "His injuries aren't serious. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."
When Kang Ping heard this, he was delighted at first, but then he said in surprise, "He's already unconscious, and he hasn't eaten for several days. How …"
Yue Ru interrupted him and asked, "Do you doubt my diagnosis?"
Kang Ping quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Medicine master Yueru's diagnosis can't be wrong."
Yue Ru did not say anything else and immediately left the stone house. However, before she left, she glanced sideways at Xiao Lingyu and the corners of her mouth curled into a mysterious smile that was intriguing.
After treating Xiao Lingyu, Yueru first found the village chief in the village and said, "There's something wrong with the person who was just carried into the village. I suspect that he's pretending to be unconscious, because his injuries are all superficial. It's not enough for him to faint. Moreover, he clearly hasn't eaten for several days, but his body's condition hasn't weakened by much. "
"Haha, no matter how cunning a fox is, it will eventually show its tail. Let's wait and see. We'll just keep an eye on it," the village chief said calmly with a smile.
Yue Ru frowned and went back to her room.
On the second day after entering the Linggu Valley, Xiao Lingyu pretended to wake up. He knew that he was still being doubted, and he also knew that the medicine master named Yueru had most likely seen through his true injuries. However, he still had to continue pretending.
"Benefactor, you're finally awake." Kang Ping saw that Xiao Lingyu had opened his eyes and hurriedly went forward to speak.
"Where am I?" Xiao Lingyu's face was pale, and he still sounded weak when he spoke.
"You're now in the Linggu Valley," Kang Ping replied in a low voice.
"Oh, I'm a little hungry." Xiao Lingyu nodded and said.
"That's right, you haven't eaten for many days. I'll get you some food now." Kang Ping patted himself on the head, then turned and walked away.
There was no one else in the stone house. After Kang Ping left, Xiao Lingyu slowly sat on the edge of the bed. Then, he stood up and walked to the door.
In front of the stone house, there was a small pond. The lotus leaves were tender and green, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers was enchanting. The fragrance of the flowers also assailed the nostrils.
There was nothing special about the stone house. There was only a medicine garden beside it, and it seemed that there were many divine herbs in it.
If these divine herbs were placed in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms, they would all be treasures. However, in the Linggu Valley of the God Realm, there wasn't even a single person to look after them.
Looking further into the distance, one could see that in the valley, as well as the surrounding hills, there were many fruit trees. The fruits on the trees were fresh and attractive.
Xiao Lingyu didn't walk around carelessly. He stood at the door of the stone house and looked for a while. Then, he returned to the house and lay down on the bed.
Not long after, Kang Ping returned. However, the medicine master Yueru also followed him in.
Kang Ping brought some wine and dishes and placed them on the table. Then, he helped Xiao Lingyu to the table and sat him down.
"Your injuries are no longer serious. Rest for a few days and you will recover."
As Yueru spoke, he took out a small jade bottle from his storage treasure. Then, he said, "Here are a few medicinal pills that nourish the body. Take one pill every day. It will help you quickly replenish the life essence that you have lost."
"Thank you."
Xiao Lingyu didn't refuse. He took the jade bottle and immediately opened it. He poured out an emerald green medicinal pill and swallowed it.
The medicinal pill melted in his mouth. Waves of cooling medicinal power quickly spread throughout his body.
Xiao Lingyu's face was originally a little pale and gloomy. However, after the medicinal pill entered his stomach, his cheeks immediately regained some color. His dry and cracked lips also gradually became rosy.
"You recover really quickly," Yueru said calmly.
"It's the medicine master's divine medicinal pill that's good," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
Yueru didn't argue. He immediately stood up and took his leave.
Xiao Lingyu began to eat and drink. At the same time, he chatted with Kang Ping intermittently.
Xiao Lingyu and Kang Ping only talked about the situation in the Realm of the Gods. They didn't talk about the Linggu Valley. At most, they talked about the wolf packs and flying beasts around the valley.
As long as it didn't involve the Linggu Valley, Kang Ping naturally said whatever he knew. Moreover, what he said was also what everyone knew.
Through Kang Ping's introduction, Xiao Lingyu finally understood a little about the Realm of the Gods. However, Kang Ping's cultivation wasn't high, so he didn't know much about the Realm of the Gods.
This was indeed the Realm of the Gods. Kang Ping had also ascended from the Lower Realm a long time ago.
Before Kang Ping ascended, the Linggu Valley had already existed. Moreover, it was said that it had existed for countless years.
In fact, there were many such villages around the Linggu Valley. Many cultivators who ascended from the Lower Realm would be guided by the multicolored light and dropped around these villages. Then, cultivators who had just ascended could join these villages and seek protection.
The cultivators in these villages were, in fact, the lowest level of existence in the Realm of the Gods. Only when they reached a certain level of cultivation could they leave the village and go to other places.
Only when they reached a certain level of cultivation could they fly in the Realm of the Gods without eating for long periods of time. As for what level they had to reach, Kang Ping wasn't very clear.
