With the help of the neighborhood, they carried Old Liu back home.

Old Liu's house was indeed very poor. It was an old and dilapidated gate and a simple courtyard.

There were basically no tools in the simple house. There was only a bed made from a door board.

Meanwhile, Old Liu was lying on the bed. Although he had woken up, he still couldn't say a word. He just stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Xu Chen was worried that Old Liu's body was too weak to withstand the pain, so he used silver needles to seal his acupoints, preventing him from feeling any pain.

Xu Chen sat by the bedside, his fingers on the silver needles. A dim divine force was continuously channeling into Old Liu's body.

As for Old Liu, he originally had a broken waist. However, he had to cut open the wound and sew up the wound.

However, Xu Chen now had a divine power. The divine power that he was using on Old Liu's head felt like his hand had entered the wound.

Xu Chen's divine power was continuously sewing wounds on Old Liu's head. After stitching his broken spine, he would then use the divine power to recuperate.

Although this slowed down the recovery of Old Liu's body, it was still able to avoid the use of medicine.

The healing process might be a lot more complicated, but it would at least leave the family with dignity.

Just like this, Xu Chen would always be coming here to treat Old Liu's head.

After interacting with each other for a few days, Xu Chen discovered that this family was not cold and heartless people. What happened that day was due to helplessness.

Xu Chen also discovered that while healing Old Liu's head, his cultivation base was stabilizing. This could be considered an unexpected gain.

Today, after Xu Chen had instilled a divine power into Old Liu's head, his body could slowly recover by itself.

Xu Chen called Liu Xiaojuan to the door and told her about it.

"Big brother Xu Chen, is that true?" Liu Xiaojuan said gratefully to Xu Chen, "Thank you so much!"

"Coincidentally, we met by chance. It was fate. It was a simple task, so there's no need to thank me." Xu Chen could tell that Liu Xiaojuan's gratitude was sincere, so he didn't want her to worry too much about it.

"Brother, when my grandfather's injuries recover, I'll go to your place and work for you and repay you." Liu Xiaojuan looked at Xu Chen with a sincere expression.

"Don't think too much into it, first take good care of your grandfather's injuries." Xu Chen tactfully rejected, "It's good that you have that intention."

As far as Xu Chen was concerned, he understood how difficult life was for him. No one knew better than him the feeling of waiting for death.

Other than sympathy, Xu Chen also felt that the old man currently lying on the bed was most likely still alive in the coffin at the time.

That feeling of helplessness and despair was very similar to the feeling Xu Chen had before. He knew that he was going to die, but there was nothing he could do. It was an indescribable feeling of helplessness.

After that, Xu Chen and Liu Xiaojuan left Old Chief Liu's house after telling him a few things.

Because Xu Chen had been running around his own yard and Old Liu's house, he could be considered to be living in seclusion.

However, in the outside world, the legend of Xu Chen healing Old Liu's head spread.

At the beginning, the neighbors were all saying that there was a young man with great medical skills on their street.

Slowly, it turned into a young man that could cure the bones of the dead, becoming more and more powerful as the rumors spread. In the end, it evolved into the revival of the dead, the young genius doctor.

At first, Xu Chen did not know about these things. However, after hearing about his deeds through various channels, many people came to pay a visit.

This kind of thing caused Xu Chen to feel somewhat reluctant. It wasn't because he didn't want to help others, but rather, it was because of Xu Chen's background.

If it was half a year ago, Xu Chen would definitely not have rejected him. Just like when Xu Chen was in the Northern Lands, he had often helped people with their cultivation problems.

At the same time, Xu Chen would also regularly launch a few training sessions for ordinary cultivators. However, that was only in the past.

The situation of Xu Chen was different now. The people of the Four Great Heavenly Sects in the Northern Lands knew that he was still alive. There might be people who had come to the Eastern Divine Region to find him.

What Xu Chen needed the most right now was to keep a low profile, not to show off his reputation.

The so-called fame was completely useless against Xu Chen.

For example, when the Four Great Empires of the Northern Lands attacked Xu Chen, his connections might be useful.

However, when the four Heavenly Palaces announced his sudden death, and when the four Heavenly Palaces led the crowd to surround the Xu family and attack them …

Where were those of them who had been blessed by Xu Chen?

If it wasn't for Xu Chen risking his life to deliver this letter to the four Heaven Palaces, the Xu family would have been destroyed long ago.

Thus, although fame was important, it did not have the strength to match it. Those existences that were merely fleeting and illusory were merely false existences.

As Xu Chen had been closed up recently, the rumors outside had not been avoided, but the number of people visiting the house had decreased.

When Xu Chen returned to the yard, Su Xiaoyue quietly opened the door and took a look.

"Xu Chen, come in quickly." When Su Xiao Yue saw Xu Chen, she pulled open the door and told him to come in quickly.

"It seems like no one has come in the past few days." Xu Chen felt like a thief when he returned home. He even felt a little guilty.

"No, just in case." Su Xiao Yue chuckled and closed the door again.

In the yard, Xu Shengyan was practicing hard. Ever since she said that she wanted to learn martial arts that day, she had started to persevere and practice martial arts.

"Big brother, look at me, I'm not lazy." Xu Shengyan hurriedly said when she saw that Xu Chen had returned.

"Good, good, good. I'm not lazy." Xu Chen found it a little funny when he saw the adorable look on Xu Shengyan's face as she practiced her martial arts.

"Xu Chen, has that Gong Dao been looking for you recently?" Su Xiao Yue suddenly asked.

"No, why are you looking for him?" Xu Chen questioned.

"That's right. A few days ago, I went to the Northern Dipper Academy to inquire about the student recruitment examination. I heard that you also wanted to test your understanding towards martial arts. You know that I don't know anything, but you don't know that much!" Su Xiao Yue said worriedly.

"So, I wanted to ask Gong Dao what that is."

"I didn't give you a small booklet. It contains information on your understanding of martial arts." Xu Chen shook his head. Su Xiaoyue was pretty good-looking, but she was a little careless.

"Ah, that's it?" Su Xiao Yue shouted in shock.

"Cultivation is just a matter of experience. Any cultivation technique or godly technique is only to teach you how to cultivate. Understanding it requires an individual's ability to comprehend. All you need to understand is martial arts." Xu Chen said.

"Oh, oh." Su Xiao Yue nodded as if she understood.

"Dong Dong Dong …"

There was a knock on the door. Su Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and said, "Xu Chen, someone's looking for you again."

"Then just ignore him." Xu Chen also knew that a lot of people had been looking for him recently. Most of them were ordinary people, and some of them were just minor illnesses that wanted to be treated for free.

Outside the courtyard, Gong Dao doubtfully knocked on the door a few more times. He muttered to himself, "That's not right. I clearly heard someone speak just now, why is it that no one came to open the door for me?"

Gong Dao looked at the courtyard's high walls and said, "It looks like you can only enter without being invited."

As he said that, Gong Dao leaped up and landed on the wall. However, he saw Xu Chen and Su Xiaoyue looking at him curiously.

"Eh, Brother Xu, can you open the door for me?" Gong Dao said in shock.

"So it was you who knocked on the door. Get off first, I'll go open the door for you." Su Xiao Yue said with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

"Alright." After speaking, Gong Dao jumped down from the wall. Just as he jumped down, Gong Dao reacted and said: "That's not right, I'm already on the wall. Why are you opening the door?"

Then, Su Xiaoyue sneakily opened the door and hooked her fingers at Gong Dao like a lover. "Gong Dao, come in quickly."

"Oh." Gong Dao felt that something was weird, so he walked into the yard with a strange feeling.

"Xu Chen, Xiao Yue, what happened to you two?" Gong Dao asked with a stupefied expression.

"Brother Gong Dao, there's been too many people looking for my brother lately. My brother is hiding from them." Xu Shengyan, who was practicing martial arts on the side, saw that Gong Daoyi had come, so she ran over and said.

"Looking for Brother Xu Chen?" Gong Dao was somewhat puzzled, but in the blink of an eye, he came to a realization and said: "That's true, I heard that Brother Xu Chen is now a young genius doctor."

"It's just a rumor." Xu Chen said humbly.

"Brother Xu Chen, you are too modest." Gong Dao complimented, "I came here today for this matter as well."

"Oh, what's the matter, Brother Gong Dao?" Xu Chen asked.

"I have a friend who was quite heavily poisoned. I wonder if Brother Xu Chen can cure that friend of mine?" Gong Dao probed.

"Brother Gong, you think too highly of me. I only know a bit of medical skills." Xu Chen humbly replied, "I can treat most wounds. As for the rest, I'll need some pills. I can't cure them."

"Brother Xu, don't delay. That friend of mine has also seen many genius doctors that understand medicine and pills, but there was no effect at all." Gong Dao said with some regret, "Brother Xu, can you do me a favor?"

"Alright then." Xu Chen hesitated for a moment. However, since Gong Dao had said so, he could not refuse, so he agreed.

"That's good. Tomorrow, I will call him to come find Brother Xu." Gong Dao courteously bowed, then bid farewell to Xu Chen and the other two and left.
