The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: Return to Hometown Chapter 1053: Return to Hometown “The guests outside are taken care of by the people in the mansion, there's no need to worry about that, your health is what's most important,” said Shen Li.

Shen Ci was aware of the current status of the Shen Mansion, so he said no more.

At that moment, a woman dressed in an aqugreen dress walked out from there, her skin like creamy jade, her features elegant and beautiful, exuding a graceful demeanor with every move she made.

“Grand-aunt, Grandfather's illness seems to have worsened again, after pondering for several days, have you thought of a way to treat it?” Shen Li asked respectfully, giving a bow to the newcomer.

This dignified woman was precisely Shen Mumu.

Her mane was far more powerful than Shen Li's, having reached the Qi Refining Late Stage, and she possessed the art of keeping her appearance youthful, looking only in her thirties.

Shen Mumu did not speak; instead, she took hold of Shen Ci's wrist to check his pulse.

“Third Sister, I'm afraid I must trouble you again,” sighed Shen Ci helplessly.

“Why speak of trouble between siblings,” Shen Mumu replied with a slight shake of her head, focusing on taking the pulse.

Seeing this, both Shen Ci and Shen Li dared not make a sound to interrupt.

A quarter of an hour passed before Shen Mumu finally withdrew her hand, her expression betraying neither joy nor anger.

“Grand-aunt, how is it?” Shen Li couldn't help asking.

“The source of Shen Ci's illness lies deep within his internal organs, coupled with natural aging, the situation is extremely complex. If not treated promptly, he can only hold on for another half a year,” said Shen Mumu.

“What! Only half a year?” Shen Li exclaimed in shock.

“That's even optimistic. If his condition continues to worsen, the time may be even shorter,” Shen Mumu spoke slowly.

“Having pondered for several days, have you thought of a method?” Shen Li asked urgently, his face pale.

“I've considered for days and thought of a rather risky method, with only a sixty percent chance of success. If unfortunately something goes wrong, I'm afraid…” Shen Mumu's sentence trailed off, but everyone understood the implication.

“Only a sixty percent chance…” Shen Li's brows furrowed.

The odds were too low, almost a flip of a coin.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

“Third Sister, Li, I've lived to this age, and that's already a ripe old age among ordinary people. Go ahead and do as you see fit, even if it doesn't cure me, it's fine,” Shen Ci chuckled instead, appearing to take the matter lightly.

“Very well, let's begin now,” Shen Mumu said, nodding at his words, and took out a blood-red jade pendant–the Solar Stone Jade Pendant that Shen Luo had once sent back.

“Using this method still relies on this Solar Stone Jade Pendant. I will use my mane to activate the Pure Yang Power within it and channel it into your body, Shen Ci, to treat the illness,” Shen Mumu explained.

“Grand-aunt, you are already able to control the Solar Stone Jade Pendant?” Shen Li said, pleasantly surprised.

“I've focused on researching the Talisman Technique these years and can barely control the power inside the pendant through the Peace Talisman within as a conduit, but my control isn't that strong, which is why I said there's only a sixty percent chance,” Shen Mumu explained.

“Do your best, Grand-aunt. I will protect Grandfather's spirit with my mane to reduce the pressure on you,” Shen Li said as he placed his hand on top of Shen Ci's head.

Shen Mumu hummed in acknowledgment, raised her hand, and placed the jade pendant against Shen Ci's back, beginning to channel her mane into it.

The jade pendant immediately emitted a soft, blood-red glow, slowly penetrating into Shen Ci's body. However, the glow was somewhat unstable, flickering occasionally.

At this very moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and lightly tapped on Shen Mumu's arm.

Shen Mumu's mane was instantly suppressed, completely immobile.

“Who?” Shen Mumu exclaimed in shock, abruptly turning her head.

A man in green robe appeared in the inner hall out of nowhere, stopping Shen Mumu's treatment.

“Who are you?” Shen Mumu shouted in surprise and waved her sleeve.

A streak of green light shot out with a “whoosh,” targeting the newcomer – a green flying shuttle.

The man pinched it with his fingers, easily catching the flying shuttle as if he were picking a mosquito.

Seeing this, Shen Mumu was immediately terrified.

“Hehe, Third Sister, it has been many years, and you greet me with Talismanic Instruments as soon as we meet,” chuckled the man in the green robe, who was none other than Shen Luo.

“You… you're Big Brother!” Only then did Shen Mumu recognize the visitor's face, her eyes widening with surprise and joy.

Shen Li was about to use the Talismanic Instruments in his hand to aid Shen Mumu when he was startled into stopping by the scene before him.

“Big Brother, you've finally returned!” Shen Ci also recognized Shen Luo and stood up with great joy.

“Second Brother, Third Sister, I have been running around outside all these years, and it's been hard on you both to manage our home,” Shen Luo said apologetically as he looked at his younger siblings, whose appearances had changed significantly.

“What are you talking about, Big Brother? We already heard from the Bai Family's messenger that you have been busy with important matters outside and that's why you haven't returned,” Shen Ci hurriedly said.

That year, when the Bai Family sent the Solar Stone Jade Pendant, Shen Yuange and the others pressed the messenger for information, and the envoy vaguely mentioned Shen Luo's situation.

“It's just a pity, Father and Mother couldn't wait for you to come back,” said Shen Mumu, her expression darkening.

“I have been an unfilial son. In previous years, I fell into trouble and ended up sleeping for one hundred years; otherwise, I could have returned sooner,” Shen Luo's heart soured with self-reproach as he thought of his father's face.

“Sleeping for one hundred years!” Shen Mumu, Shen Ci, and Shen Li were all stunned upon hearing this.

To ordinary people, a hundred years is a span that encompasses several generations, and Shen Luo had actually slept for such a length of time.

“Big Brother, have you now become an immortal?” Shen Ci asked with a dumbfounded face.

“Right now, I can merely live without eating or drinking; it's still a long way to becoming an immortal,” Shen Luo said with a faint smile.

“Live without eating or drinking!” A glint of understanding flashed in Shen Mumu's eyes.

In addition to practicing the skills left by Shen Luo, she had encountered a fortuitous opportunity over the years and her cultivation level had significantly improved to the Qi Refining Late Stage. She had much more understanding about the realms of Cultivating Immortality than Shen Ci.

Being able to live a hundred years without eating or drinking, Shen Luo's cultivation level was undoubtedly far beyond the Grain Avoidance Stage.

“Could Big Brother's cultivation level have reached the Soul Condensation Stage?” Shen Mumu speculated to herself.

As for the Nascent Soul Stage, she dared not even contemplate it, as that level was inhabited only by those terrifying individuals found within the large Cultivating Immortality sects.

Shen Li, standing by, looked at Shen Luo with a face full of shock.

Although he had never met Shen Luo, he had grown up listening to Shen Luo's great reputation. Now it seemed that his great-uncle was even more formidable than the rumors had suggested.

“Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Second Brother, there seems to be a problem with your body; let me first rid you of the illness,” Shen Luo said, redirecting the conversation without dwelling on the previous topic.

“I'm trouble you, Big Brother,” said Shen Ci, full of confidence in Shen Luo, and sat down again.

Shen Luo had already examined Shen Ci's body with his Divine Sense and knew the root cause of his illness. He pointed a finger at Shen Ci's chest and a pure stream of mana flowed into his body, circulating within for an entire cycle.

Shen Ci felt a warm current enter his body, vast and powerful beyond measure, eliminating the illness wherever it passed before a rush of heat surged up to his chest.

He involuntarily crouched down and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
