"Old thing, we've already taken care of you for five years, living and eating for free. What more do you want? Do we have to take care of you for the rest of your life? " A skinny young man with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks stepped out of the door arrogantly. He sneered at the old man on the ground. "I only asked you to clean up the treasure house and you're already complaining. If you don't want to do it, then scram. The Noble Family Treasure House doesn't take care of trash!"
"I … You … You want me to clean up the treasure house … You're really trying to chase me away!" The old man raised his arms. Both his palms had been chopped off and it was a tragic sight.
The onlookers couldn't help but sympathize with the old man when they saw his hands.
"He's been refining pills for your treasure house for so many years. Even if he's crippled, you don't have to be so ruthless!"
"That's right! It doesn't take much space to take care of an old man and a child. It doesn't cost much either! "
"The Noble Family Treasure House is too much, really too much!"
"…"
"Hmph! What do you know? This old man is relying on the fact that his son died outside and wants us to provide his granddaughter with cultivation resources. Ptui! When his son died, we already gave him a bunch of immortal jade. Now he's making such an unreasonable request. Does he think our Noble Family Treasure House is a charity? "The skinny young man snorted with disdain.
"You're spouting nonsense. Back then, I founded the Noble Family Treasure House with your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather …" The old man's face was full of anger. He pointed at the skinny young man with a trembling hand.
"Damn it … This old thing dares to spout nonsense here and slander our Noble Family Treasure House. Beat him up! If he dies, I'll take responsibility! "The skinny young man's expression changed slightly when he heard the old man's words. He didn't allow him to continue.
Seven or eight burly men rushed forward to beat the old man up.
"Stop!" Zhao Yuande took a step forward, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out, and directly sent the seven or eight big men flying.
"How dare you behave so atrociously in our Noble Family Treasure House. Do you believe that I'll …" The skinny young man was enraged when he saw that someone had actually dared to save the old man. However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a powerful killing intent sweep over him.
The skinny young man was an early-stage Immortal Warrior and could be considered a genius. However, in front of such a terrifying killing intent, he felt like a leaf in the wind. He couldn't struggle.
"Senior, please spare me! Senior, please spare my life! " The young salesman fell to the ground with a thud. His face turned pale. He felt that the young man opposite him, who seemed to be about the same age as him, was even stronger than his grandfather. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Hmph! Scram! "Zhao Yuande was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Yes!" The skinny young man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He practically crawled into the Xun Family's Treasure House.
"Old man, were you once an alchemist?" Zhao Yuande looked at this old man. Even though his cultivation base was only at the middle stage of the Immortal Warrior realm, there was a surge of fire energy radiating from him. Clearly, there was an extraordinary flame within his body.
"Thank you, Young Master, for saving me. I … am an alchemist!" The old man naturally felt Zhao Yuande's strength. He was a little nervous, afraid that his secret would be seen through by the other party.
If the other party harbored evil intentions, his flame being taken away was secondary. The key was that if his granddaughter lost his protection, she might not be able to survive in this chaotic world.
"That's great. My shop is still lacking an alchemist. If you are willing, you can come to my shop." Zhao Yuande's words were sincere, making people involuntarily feel a sense of trust.
"But I …" The old man raised his arm.
"That's not a problem. As long as you agree, I naturally have a way to help you recover!" Zhao Yuande smiled.
"I'm willing!" The old man felt Zhao Yuande's sincerity and nodded in agreement.
The old man knew that even if the other party harbored evil intentions, he couldn't resist. He had to agree even if he didn't want to, so he might as well be straightforward.
"Then come with us!" Zhao Yuande nodded.
"Xiao Wei, come with Grandpa. We have a place to stay!" The old man looked at his granddaughter beside him and found that his granddaughter was curiously looking at the young man opposite him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hoped that everything the other party said was true!
If the other party wanted his flame, then he would take the initiative to cooperate with him. No matter what, he had to fight for some benefits for his granddaughter.
"Ai! Junior brother, is this worth it? " Sky-devouring transmitted his voice to Zhao Yuande, "To help this old fellow recover his hands, we will need to consume a lot of immortal medicine."
"Senior brother, you definitely didn't appraise the other party's information. He is a Grade Five Immortal Alchemist! Do you think it's worth it or not? " Zhao Yuande said, "Moreover, to help him recover his hands, I don't need any immortal medicine. My immortal power is enough."
"Oh! As expected, junior brother, you are really lucky. With this old fellow, we can be hands-off shopkeepers in the future! "Sky-devouring's face immediately revealed an excited expression.
"En! I feel that the job of renting out a shop is not bad. When the time comes, we can ask him if he is willing to stay. If he is willing, the elixir shop can be considered formed. We only need to trouble to come up with a name! "Zhao Yuande smiled.
"That's right! That fellow is also very pleasing to the eye! "Sky-devouring's eyes also lit up.
Very quickly, they entered an inn and asked for two superior rooms.
"May I know what your name is?" In the guest room, Zhao Yuande asked despite knowing the answer.
"Oh! My name is Li Chengsong. This is my granddaughter Li Nianwei. "Li Chengsong's face was slightly nervous as he hugged his granddaughter a little tightly.
"Senior Li, don't be nervous. I really don't have any ill intentions. I am also not interested in the flame in your body. Everything I said to you just now is true." Zhao Yuande waved his hand, indicating that Li Chengsong should not be so nervous.
"You …" Li Chengsong heard Zhao Yuande's words and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Don't say anymore. Let me help you recover your hands first!" Zhao Yuande's palm lightly grabbed the place where the other party's hands were severed. Immortal power quietly seeped out from his hand.
Li Chengsong only felt a piercing numbness and itchiness coming from his severed arm. Then, his eyes were already lifeless.
This was because he saw that his lost arm was slowly growing back!
"Grandpa … your arm is growing back again!" The little girl clapped her hands excitedly. Tears of joy flowed out of her eyes.
Although she wasn't old, she had experienced too many things!
Her mother's departure, her father's death, her grandfather's loss of both his arms, and the humiliation she suffered in the Noble Family Treasure House had caused her young heart to mature early on.
