The Immortal Cultivation World Is Too Dangerous: I Return to Earth as a Divine Sage Chapter 10 - Bringing the Dead Back to Life, Earth’s Spiritu

Chapter 10: Bringing the Dead Back to Life, Earth’s Spiritual Herbs Without Spiritual Energy Are Real

A few minutes later, Zhao Wuji and his entourage returned to Zhao Qingzhi’s sickroom.

“Xuankun, carefully help Father sit up. I’ll administer the dicine.” Zhao Wuji said solemnly to Zhao Xuankun.

“Alright.” Zhao Xuankun nodded imdiately, then carefully approached Zhao Qingzhi’s bedside and gently propped him up.

Once Zhao Qingzhi was sitting, Zhao Wuji took the Longevity Flower leaf from the crystal box and delicately placed it in Zhao Qingzhi’s mouth.

After completing this, Zhao Wuji signaled Zhao Xuankun to lay their father back down.

“Big Brother, don’t we need to do sothing to help Father swallow the leaf?”

After setting Zhao Qingzhi down, Zhao Xuankun looked at Zhao Wuji with confusion.

“The dicine Family said this divine herb lts upon entering the mouth, requiring no swallowing to take effect.” Zhao Wuji explained.

“That miraculous?” Hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Zhao Xuankun’s face was full of astonishnt.

…

“lts upon entering the mouth? With this feature alone, there’s over a fifty percent chance this is a Longevity Flower leaf. After all, only a spiritual herb could exhibit such a miraculous effect on Earth, a place without spiritual energy.” Ye Yang, observing the scene with his divine sense, thought to himself.

…

Inside Zhao Qingzhi’s sickroom, after Zhao Qingzhi consud the Longevity Flower leaf, Zhao Wuji, Zhao Xuankun, and the younger Zhao Family mbers began quietly waiting.

They were waiting for this divine herb from the dicine Family to awaken their family’s pillar.

After about a few dozen minutes, a miraculous scene unfolded. Zhao Qingzhi, whose face had been deathly pale on the sickbed, began to visibly regain color. His previously feeble breathing grew stronger.

Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.

Though they had already placed significant trust in the divine herb leaf sent by the dicine Family, they hadn’t expected its effects to be so astonishing. In just over ten minutes, it produced such a dramatic result.

How was this any different from the immortal elixirs in films and TV shows that could bring the dead back to life? Could it be that so of the things recorded by ancient people weren’t fabricated but real?

At this mont, the Zhao Family mbers were lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.

Cough, cough …

As the Zhao Family was reeling in shock, a coughing sound from the sickbed interrupted their thoughts.

“Father.”

“Grandfather.”

Zhao Wuji, Zhao Xuankun, Zhao Ling’er, and the other younger family mbers turned their attention to Zhao Qingzhi, who had made the sound.

“Is this what the ancient texts call a final burst of clarity before death? It seems it’s ti for to go et those old friends down below. Though I’ve long known that life and death are fated, when the day actually cos, I’m still unwilling. Fine, the ti for a final burst is short. Let use this last mont to arrange my affairs.”

On the sickbed, Zhao Qingzhi heard the voices around him, his heart filled with bitterness as he thought.

“Wuji, Xuankun, and Ling’er, you’ve all co back. Good, good. To see my children and grandchildren gathered before I die, I have no regrets. My current state is a final burst of clarity. I don’t have much ti left. I’ll start arranging my affairs now. I speak, you listen.”

Opening his eyes, Zhao Qingzhi looked at Zhao Wuji and the others by his bedside, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

“Father, this isn’t a final burst of clarity. You have at least three days.”

“Your awakening is because …”

Hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s words, Zhao Wuji imdiately realized his father had misunderstood and began to explain.

“The dicine Family’s divine herb? Requiring thirty percent of our Zhao Family’s assets? Guaranteeing at least three years of extended life?”

Hearing Zhao Wuji’s explanation, Zhao Qingzhi’s eyes narrowed, revealing a mix of shock and doubt.

A divine herb capable of defying fate to extend life sounded unbelievable, even to him, like a fantastical tale. His first thought was whether the dicine Family had set up a sche to target the Zhao Family’s assets.

But after hearing Zhao Wuji’s full account, he imdiately dismissed that notion. No sche could go this far. No dicine in the world could make a dying man like him feel rejuvenated in less than ten minutes.

The only explanation was that the dicine Family truly possessed secrets he didn’t know about, and there really was a divine herb capable of defying fate to extend life.

…

“It’s definitely the Longevity Flower. It seems that besides the Zhao Family, I’ll need to take control of this dicinal dynasty, the dicine Family. Since spiritual herbs exist on Earth, a dicinal family capable of producing a supre spiritual herb like this must have other spiritual herbs in storage—perhaps even supre spiritual herbs considered treasures in the cultivation world.”

Observing Zhao Qingzhi’s awakening with his divine sense, Ye Yang made a silent decision.

…

“What do you think—should we buy this divine herb or not?”

On the sickbed, Zhao Qingzhi, having regained much of his strength, propped himself up and leaned against the headboard, looking at Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun as he asked gravely.

“Father, I think we must buy it. Our Zhao Family’s current status exists because of you. As long as you’re alive, thirty percent of our assets is nothing—we can afford to lose it. But if you pass, our losses will likely exceed thirty percent.”

Hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s question, Zhao Wuji imdiately responded.

“I agree with Big Brother.” Zhao Xuankun nodded solemnly. “The dicine Family likely thinks the sa as you. In all these years, I’ve never heard of the dicine Family possessing a divine herb that can extend life.”

“Right when I fall critically ill, the dicine Family suddenly produces a life-extending divine herb. This is no coincidence. If I’m not mistaken, their divine herb is selective. They won’t even approach those who don’t et their criteria to discuss terms. Their criteria depend on how important the person is to their family.

“If it were the head of another dynasty who was critically ill, they wouldn’t show up, because the other party wouldn’t buy it. For other dynasties, while the family head is esteed, extending their life by a few years isn’t worth the cost compared to the family’s overall gains.

“Only soone like , who single-handedly built the Zhao Family, ets their criteria. Without , the Zhao Family’s losses would definitely exceed thirty percent of our assets. They’re confident we’ll buy their divine herb.” Zhao Qingzhi said gravely.
