If he remembers correctly, his mother went to Xia Luo Mountain to collect medicine because he was unconscious. Why would she go now that he was awake?
What's the matter? Could it be that history has changed because of rebirth, and it is different from what he remembers?
Others don't know what she went through while collecting herbs this time, but after experiencing his previous life, Nie Yun knew very clearly that his mother went out this time and never came back. She slipped and fell off the cliff and died!
"Tell me in detail what's going on!"
Worried in his heart, Nie Yun reached out and grabbed the butler Nie Chong's shoulder and asked anxiously.
Even though he is a man living for two lifetimes, even though he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, Nie Yun still cannot remain calm when facing the safety of his loved ones!
He missed it when he didn't know how to cherish it in his previous life, and he must never let the tragedy happen again in this life!
"This morning, not long after the young master left, Mrs. Shen Gui from the Nie Zhang Branch came. She said that she had discovered a thousand-year-old snow lotus in Xia Luo Mountain, and asked the madam if she wanted to go! At first, the madam was a little hesitant. After all, the Xia Luo Mountain is steep. It's difficult to walk, it's snowy all year round, and it's very dangerous! After chatting for a while, she suddenly said that the thousand-year-old Peng Xin Snow Lotus could help the master restore the damaged Qi Sea... So, Madam went with her. We servants could do nothing to stop her!"
Nie Chong explained the matter again.
"Nie Zhang branch? Damn it!"
Hearing this, Nie Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Peng Xin Snow Lotus is a healing medicinal material, that is effective for ordinary injuries, but it has no help at all when his father's Qi Sea is damaged! It is absolutely nonsense to say that it can help his father restore his damaged Qi Sea!
Mrs. Shen Gui of the Nie Zhang Branch made up such lies to trick his mother into going to a dangerous place like Xia Luo Mountain. It was an unforgivable crime!
Nie Zhang and Nie Tian both belong to the side branch. Because the two branches are in charge of the same marginal industry of the family, they usually interact with each other more. After his father gave up on himself, his mother was very forceful and used business competition to force the Nie Zhang branch into poverty for a while. Unexpectedly, they held a grudge and came up with this method to take revenge!
Going to Xia Luo Mountain to collect herbs is always a close call. If his mother dies because of this, they can squeeze out the branch's industry and grow bigger and bigger. Maybe they can return to the family again and become an internal branch!
For your own benefit, you actually dare to plot against my mother like this, how cruel!
According to the memory of the previous life, it seems that the other party really succeeded. After his mother died, they quickly wiped out the property of Nie Tian's branch. Because of this, his own branch had no chance to turn around and became more and more destitute!
"It's difficult to walk on the mountain under the setting sun. I hope they don't go far and I can still catch up!"
After figuring out what was going on, Nie Yun didn't stop any longer, put the soles of his feet on the ground, used his body skills as fast as he could, and rushed straight toward Xia Luo Mountain.
Although he was only at the early stage of the third level of the Qi Nurturing realm, Nie Yun had a lot of Body Lightening techniques in his mind. The endless qi in the Qi Sea was rolling, and his speed was actually a few times faster than when he went out in the morning!
With his fast feet, the speed of warming and nourishing the spiritual energy in the Dantian in the sea of qi also increased a lot. He hurried all the way up the mountain. After walking for less than an hour, Nie Yun felt that all the spiritual qi in the sea of qi had been warmed and nourished. His strength has actually reached the peak of the late Qi Nurturing realm, and he seems to be able to break through at any time!
"How did I cultivate so fast? Is it related to the bloodline factor being activated by the Nameless Technique?"
Feeling the changes in the Qi Sea, Nie Yun felt a little confused.
Logically speaking, even if the bloodline factor is turned on and there is a Dantian in the Qi Sea, it would take about three to five months or even half a year to warm up all the spiritual qi. But now, in less than a day, all the spiritual qi was warmed up. To say it's not surprising is false!
However, although it was strange, he was not shocked.
Even rebirth can happen to him. No matter how fast he cultivates, it is not impossible!
"The place where the Millennium Peng Xin Snow Lotus appears is in this area. Everyone, please pay attention. This thing has gained intelligence and can run around. Once you find it, take action immediately. Don't hesitate!"
While walking forward, Nie Yun suddenly heard a voice directly in front of him. Jumping up on a treetop he took a look, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In front of him was the group of people who came to look for Peng Xin Snow Lotus. His mother was following them, looking around with bright eyes, as if she didn't want to miss any corner.
It is often said that "it takes a thousand years to become sentient". The thousand-year-old Peng Xin Snow Lotus has its own will and can escape through the soil. Even if you have seen it before, it is very difficult to catch it without certain means.
"Over there!"
Just when Nie Yun was about to go over and persuade his mother to go home, he suddenly heard her shouting and immediately rushed forward.
Although his mother's talent is far less than that of his father, she is still pretty good. She possesses strength at the early stage of the fourth level of the True Qi Realm in the Nine Heavens of the Qi Sea. Without this kind of power, it would be impossible to maintain a branch by relying on the identity of a woman!
Wow!
His mother came to a cliff very quickly, and with a flick of her hand, a red net shot out of her sleeve.
"Fallen Robe Net? He didn't expect his mother to be a master at collecting herbs!"
Seeing this scene, Nie Yun was afraid of disturbing her and did not step forward.
Thousand-year-old medicinal materials are difficult to capture because of their spiritual intelligence, so special methods must be used. This kind of robe net is woven from the bloody clothes on the battlefield, and it contains a strong evil aura. Once it encounters the thousand-year-old medicinal materials, it will scare the medicine. No matter how soft you are, it's hard to escape!
Throwing the fallen robe net so accurately and with such skillful technique, Nie Yun knew at a glance that his mother must have collected medicine before. As for when, he had never heard her say it, and he didn't know very well!
"Caught it!"
The robe net fell, and Mother rolled up a white snow lotus with her wrist.
This snow lotus emits cold air, its whole body is crystal clear as jade, and it is slightly transparent. The aroma of the medicine floats, and after one whiff, you feel refreshed, as if you are ten years younger.
It is indeed a thousand-year-old snow lotus!
Carefully taking out the medicine box, Mother gently put the snow lotus inside.
Once precious medicinal materials leave the land and are not protected by special things, their efficacy will gradually be lost. Mother's medicine box is made of cold jade, which can protect the efficacy of the medicinal materials without losing any of it.
"You are worthy of being the number one herb collector in Luo Shui City back then. I didn't expect that we came here seven or eight times but didn't catch it, but you caught it in one go. Haha, if our branch has this thousand-year-old herb and we contribute it to the clan leader, we becoming the internal branch is definitely a sure thing!"
Seeing his mother grabbing Snow Lotus, everyone gathered around and one of them burst out laughing.
"Um..."
Hearing this and seeing everyone's actions, Nie Yun's eyebrows rose.
It seems that these people had a plan a long time ago. They knew that they could not catch Peng Xin Snow Lotus, so they deliberately deceived his mother and made her work hard for them!
No wonder his mother, who was at the fourth level of Qi Sea Nine Heavens, slipped and fell off the cliff. It turned out to be someone from the Nie Zhang branch who did it!
The clenched fist made a "clucking" sound, and veins burst out on Nie Yun's forehead. For the first time since his rebirth, blood was burning, and he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger!
"Your branch? Didn't you agree to the condition when we came? Whoever catches it will get it, do you want to change your mind? "
Seeing the crowd gathered around her, his mother took a step back, but there was a cliff behind her. As soon as she moved, a rock fell down hit by her. The sound continued for a long time and he didn't know how high it was.
"If I rush over now if they jump over the wall in a hurry, my mother will definitely be in danger..."
Although the anger was burning in his heart, Nie Yun also knew that he could not rush over now. There were more than a dozen people from the Nie Zhang branch. The weakest ones were at the second level of the Spiritual Valley realm. It was impossible for him to kill them all with one move. Once it is pushed too hard, his mother will be in danger!
On such a high cliff, let alone the strength of the fourth level of True Qi, even the eighth level of Qi Bending strongman will only die if he falls!
"Change? Haha, we haven't changed at all. We came here to ask you to help us pick this snow lotus! Come and give it quickly, so that we don't have to do it ourselves. Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind!"
The person who spoke before said again.
This woman Nie Yun knew her. She was Mrs. Shen Gui as mentioned by the housekeeper Nie Chong. Her strength was not much different from that of his mother. They were both in the early stage of the fourth True Qi realm.
"Okay, okay, do you want to ignore the clan rules and abandon them?" Unexpectedly, the other party said such shameless words, and his mother turned red with anger and yelled.
"Abandoning the clan rules? Haha, don't be joking. We follow the clan rules here. Don't talk nonsense. Hand over the snow lotus quickly so that we don't kill you. Otherwise, today will be your death!"
Mrs. Shen Gui sneered.
The Nie family is a large family, and the blood relationship between branches has been so weak that it can be ignored. Brothers kill each other for the throne, not to mention that there is not much blood relationship among them! It is normal for branches to have interests and calculate against each other.
"Mom, Aunt Shen Gui is right. Give her the Peng Xin Snow Lotus. It's useless for us to ask for it. Once their Nie Zhang branch is promoted to the inner branch, we may also be able to get some benefits..."
Just when his mother was at a loss seeing the other party's resolute attitude, a crisp voice rang in the distance.
