Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 796: Chapter 114: The Method of Immortality

When Xiao Xian woke up, she found herself covered with a blanket that had a strange smell of disinfectant, reminding her of what happened yesterday.

Yezi is gone? Xiao Xian looked around the ward but didn’t see Yezi, it seems his body should be fine now.

After slightly putting her mind at ease, Xiao Xian stretched her body. After resting for a night and replenishing her strength, her mind was much clearer.

Yesterday afternoon, after discussing with Zhou Ziang, the two had already determined that inside Xiao Que’s body, it must be Mei Nian. The ginseng spirit baby had already occupied the real body of "Mei Nian". Having never encountered such a situation, both of them felt it was tricky.

After knowing the truth, the first thing Xiao Xian wanted to do was not to find a way to test the fake Mei Nian, but she thought of another person closely related to "Mei Nian", Yu Gang.

In the short term, Xiao Xian couldn’t figure out a way to expose the fake Mei Nian’s identity. Regarding "body snatching", Xiao Xian had neither seen nor experienced it; how was she to explain to Yu Gang that his beloved Mei Nian had become a deaf and mute, semi-vegetative ten-year-old girl.

Even if Yu Gang believed it, with his straightforward nature, he would definitely go to the "Mei Nian" possessed by the ginseng spirit baby for a deadly confrontation. The ginseng spirit baby had taken "Mei Nian’s" body, its spirit infant was already strong, plus "Mei Nian’s" Golden Level Cultivation, a strong alliance, both she and Zhou Ziang had no confidence in victory. With no method after intense thinking sessions, Xiao Xian fell asleep beside Yezi’s hospital bed.

"You’re awake?" Before dawn, Zhou Ziang, who hadn’t slept all night, came in pushing the door, followed by Yezi who, although with a gloomy face, didn’t interrupt as he usually would.

Seeing the short-lived harmony when the two met without confronting each other as usual, Xiao Xian smiled, "Awake, you’re all here?" She then looked at Yezi, asking with concern, "Yezi, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just a small matter, I’m as strong as an ox," Yezi grinned.

"It’s important to discuss the business, Li Ye has explained the situation," Zhou Ziang and Yezi discussed throughout the night, further confirming Xiao Xian’s earlier speculation was correct.

After listening to Yezi recounting in detail what the Dream Beast saw, Xiao Xian furrowed her brows.

"Xiao Xian, listen to me, I think this matter is bizarre, how could someone’s soul enter another’s body? Such a strange matter, perhaps even Red Locust hasn’t heard of it," Yezi, who grew up with the Red Locust Great Wizard, had heard many ghostly and mythical tales but never about someone taking another’s body and forcing it among her own.

If such an evil method truly existed, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

Just think, a person’s death mostly stems from aging, organs failing; if one could seize another’s body at the brink of death, wouldn’t that mean immortality?

"Yezi, this matter isn’t all that strange, have you forgotten you told me about the incident regarding Fiji’s wife, Celeste?" Xiao Xian mentioned Celeste, Zhou Ziang appeared surprised too, since when did Xiao Xian know Lady Serlin?

Concerning Celeste, while Zhou Ziang wasn’t very well acquainted, each meeting left him with an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"No way! You’re saying that Lady Serlin also knows that method?" Yezi cried out, feeling aggrieved, what mission did that cunning Fiji give him, sending him to find an ancient witch who might devour bodies at any moment.

"I’m only making an assumption, according to Earth’s cultivation rules, only after breaking through the Gold Grade can one extend life or slow aging, unless when Celeste arrived on Earth, she was already cultivating in the Gold Grade; otherwise, how could she maintain immortality for hundreds of years," Xiao Xian deduced based on Yezi’s statement.

"Regarding Lady Serlin’s appearance, I’ve seen her in person, she looks similar to Aisha, appearing no more than twenty-seven or eight years old at most. I once saw a life-sized portrait in her office, it was a portrait of a female ancestor of the Roster family from hundreds of years ago. Apart from the hair color, everything about the features and expression were identical to Celeste," Zhou Ziang added an essential piece.

"Ziang, you help me observe Xiao Que’s situation. This time Yezi’s rash entry, though Master Mei rebounded him out, must have also noticed our intent. Yezi, try to recall, after entering Xiao Que’s dream, besides the white mist, did you see any other scenery or hear any sounds?" Xiao Xian wanted to clarify the method the ginseng spiritual vein used to confine Mei Nian.
