Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 373 - 182: The Fate of Ma Huantian_2

Ma Xiaoqiu muttered to herself.

There was indeed a possibility. Ma Xiaoqiu had no disciples or descendants, and her hatred for the Ma Family outweighed her love. It was impossible for her to favor Ma Huantian.

If it were true that she owed Chen Yi a medical fee, it could be possible.

Ma Xiaoqiu was not a person who liked to owe others.

"Doctor Chen, how much do I owe you in medical fees?"

Ma Xiaoqiu asked seriously, while she prepared to open her Storage Bag, looking for spirit stones, as if ready to pay him back.

"Eh... It's uncertain now, Fairy Ma. You should rest first and restore your spirits. When the day comes and you regain your memory, you can pay me back." Chen Yi said, scratching his nose.

Some treatments should be paid with spirit stones, but when he treated Ma Xiaoqiu, she also taught him the Puppet Skill, and gave him two second-tier puppets. Who owes whom and how much is actually rather complicated.

In the end, Chen Yi saved her life. Overall, it could be said that Ma Xiaoqiu did not pay for her treatment, which would not be wrong.

As for the bond between them, Ma Xiaoqiu was usually the one initiating it. Chen Yi didn't owe her.

Ma Xiaoqiu still appeared confused, but she didn't say anything else, bid farewell to Chen Yi, and turned to leave.

Overall, her attitude was much softer, reminiscent of when they first met. At least before regaining her memories, she wouldn't swear at Chen Yi again.

Of course, expecting her to throw herself into Chen Yi's arms to act spoiled again would be impossible.

As Ma Xiaoqiu shrugged past Liu Emei, she acknowledged her with a cold nod before leaving.

When Liu Emei saw her leave, she put down the teaset and rushed over to Chen Yi, jubilantly saying,

"Brother Chen, has Sister Ma really lost her memory? She can't remember anything from before, and was so cold to me. She even lost interest in her favorite Meilan tea."

Chen Yi turned to look at her.

"You two get along so well day by day. Beholding her memory loss, why are you so excited?"

Liu Emei quickly lowered her head, attenuating the joy in her eyes.

"I... I am just happy to see Sister Ma escape the jaws of death."

What she didn't say was that with Ma Xiaoqiu having completely forgotten the past decade, she would occupy less of Brother Chen's attention.

Then, maybe one day, when Brother Chen can't bear the burden any longer, she would have her chance.

"Yes, your Sister Ma, due to the effects of Cold Poison on her Sea of Consciousness, had to cut off a part of her Divine Sense during her transformation in order to protect herself.

The lost memories will indeed be difficult to recover unless she has heavenly treasures that can restore Divine Sense."

"Really?!"

Liu Emei lifted her head and opened her eyes wide, her voice clear but not low.

Seeing Chen Yi looking at her in doubt again, she quickly pretended to be sad,

"What a pity, I just made her favorite tea. Sigh.

But rest assured, Brother Chen, I will not delay Sister Ma's treatment.

If she comes to me, I will just say that we are ordinary neighbors so as not to trouble her thoughts and memories!"

Although Little Emei spoke earnestly, she didn't realize her ulterior motives had been exposed.

Chen Yi shook his head, choosing to ignore the little maid's cunning plan. Their relationship with Ma Xiaoqiu being ordinary neighbors was indeed not incorrect.

"Alright, in three years, Song Chengcheng, Wang Tengfei, and Zhao Chengyu will visit Little Cold Peak. At that time, prepare a grand banquet and don't be stingy with spirit stones."

"Alright, Brother Chen. But why are they coming to visit?"

"There's no special reason. We've always had a habit of gathering every ten or so years to discuss our Cultivation experiences and exchange Cultivation resources.

Recently, we have all reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and if anyone wants to attempt Core Formation, it's time to discuss the possibility of Core Formation."

Liu Emei nodded in agreement.

...

The next one or two years, Chen Yi's side was much quieter.

He began to gradually consume the stalactite milk, restoring the Gold Attribute origin of the Vajra Bracelet, starting daily golden body training for two hours and simultaneously strengthening the body training of the Vajra Sutra.

Chen Yi estimated that with the current level of body refining elixir, in about ten more years, he should be able to achieve refining marrow to perfection.

The current elixir was mostly a reward from Song Chengcheng and generously given by Liu Yonggang.

Two years later, Chen Yi turned 88.

He still looked like a 21-year-old youth and had never considered celebrating a big birthday like his 88th.

One day, after his usual Cultivation session, as he was about to tease the Purple Sand Mink and relax,

Suddenly, there came a wailing from outside the Little Cold Peak:

"Daoist Chen, Little Sister Xiaoqiu, please come out and give me some fair treatment!"

The wail sounded in the middle of Little Cold Peak and Xiao Qiu Peak, with Ma Huantian yelling toward Chen Yi's direction then toward Ma Xiaoqiu's.

"Brother Chen, it's Ma Huantian outside. He's been...castrated..."

Little Emei, who had gathered this information, reported to Chen Yi. As an unmarried girl, she felt a bit embarrassed mentioning such things.

"Oh? Such an interesting event, let's go have a look."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yi, with a broad smile, picked up the little sand marten and left Little Cold Peak to see from a higher vantage point.

Down below,

Ma Huantian stood trembling, with the blood between his legs yet to dry. His mana was weak and he was holding a jade box.

Chen Yi guessed that there could be something disgusting inside.

"Daoist Chen! Daoist Chen, you're out! Quickly, look. I've been harshly injured by the evil Wu Cong! Daoist Chen, you're a physician, can you fix me up? I beg you!"

Upon seeing Chen Yi, Ma Huantian appealed for help like a man clutching at his last straw.

"Why was it cut?"

"One of Wu Cong's concubines seduced me. We were in bed and Wu Cong caught us, he cut it off without hearing any explanation. I couldn't fight back..."

"How long has it been since it was cut off?"

"Less than two days!" Ma Huantian anxiously replied.

"Ah well, it's too late to reattach, just throw it away." Chen Yi shook his head with a sigh.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, energy can sustain amputated limbs for a day or two under proper preservation.

Chen Yi could fully commit to healing him using the Turtle Breathing method even three or five days after the incident, with a chance of full recovery.

However, Chen Yi didn't want to.

This disgusting man who couldn't control his own libido, now claims that it was Wu Cong's concubine who seduced him. Chen Yi wasn't sure if it was a trap laid by Wu Cong,

but it was true that Ma Huantian couldn't control his lower half and would've definitely been caught by Wu Cong.

After hearing Ma Huantian's wails for help, Fairy Ma didn't turn up,

But Chen Yi heard her voice transmission:

"Daoist Chen, please do not save him."

Chen Yi became more resolute in his decision.

"Daoist Chen, how can you know if it can be reattached without trying!

You're the best physician in tens of thousands of miles, I beg you to try, sob sob, I can't live without it!"

Ma Huantian cried out in desperation.

"Sorry, but my annual quota for medical consultations has been filled. If you need an emergency consultation, it will cost 5000 spirit stones. Bring the spirit stones and I may try, but success is not guaranteed."

"5000 spirit stones?! Are you trying to rob me!!"

Ma Huantian was shocked and angry.

"Didn't you just say that I'm the best physician in tens of thousands of miles? Isn't that worth 5000 spirit stones? If you think that's expensive, feel free to seek help elsewhere." Chen Yi responded calmly.

How can Ma Huantian afford 5000 spirit stones when he can't even redeem his family's second-tier spiritual veins?

He couldn't even afford 500 spirit stones,

He usually spends his time on petty theft and occasionally ambushing qi cultivating cultivators in the wild to get a few hundred spirit stones, all of which he spent on gambling and women.

"Xiaoqiu! Little sister Xiaoqiu! I'm your brother, I saw you growing up, I'm even closer to you than your real brother, can you lend me some spirit stones? Could you ask Chen Yi for me, to help me reattach it!

You're so beautiful, and a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, as long as you're willing to sleep with Chen Yi for a few days, he'll surely help me!"

"Scram!"

From Xiao Qiu Peak, a cold rebuke sounded. A freezing cold surge of mana flew out from within the peak and directly landed on the jade box that Ma Huantian was holding,

instantly freezing it.

Ma Huantian was startled and accidentally shattered the frozen jade box with one shake of his hand,

Creak, creak, creak,

Cracks began to appear on the ice,

"No!"
