Chapter 746: Chapter 746 Immortal_1 Chapter 746: Chapter 746 Immortal_1 The guide explained patiently, “Healington is right here; I’ve been here many times, it can’t be wrong.”

“Let’s get moving,” someone urged impatiently.

Cobe Myers waved his hand in annoyance. As a descendant of the Myers family from the Harbor Islands, how could he bear such suffering?

Valeria Shimpson also furrowed her brow, her face showing signs of exhaustion, but for her father’s sickness, she hadn’t uttered a complaint.

Greg Jensen heard the noises behind him and couldn’t help but frown.

Old Man Li hummed softly, “He dares to throw his weight around only in front of us peasants. If he met an old Immortal in the mountains, he’d be kneeling on the spot.”

“Immortals?”

Greg Jensen asked in surprise, “There are Immortals in these mountains?”

Old Man Li’s eyes shone with devotion as he excitedly said, “The Immortals from Healington, they hold a free clinic every year, treating the villagers and peasants for free. Occasionally they also perform some small magics, like spewing fire or ejecting water. If that’s not the work of Immortals, what is?”

Cultivators?

And moreover, at the Qi Refinement stage!

Greg Jensen and Old Six exchanged glances, both showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Logically speaking, Healington was only a Semi-hidden Door; they shouldn’t have such powerful cultivators, so how did one at the late Qi Refinement stage emerge?

Old Six’s eyes flickered, pretending to be dubious, “Nonsense, what Immortal… isn’t that just a magician putting on a show?”

“Hey, you can’t say that.”

Old Man Li said earnestly, “Although I haven’t seen much of the world, I can still tell apart tricks from Immortal Laws. The fireballs can fly around in response to someone’s control; how could a mere trick achieve that?”

“You have a point,” Old Six pondered.

Seeing him convinced, Old Man Li’s face lit up with a smile, and he excitedly said, “You should have seen it, that Immortal was incredible, even able to fly.”

Old Six, feigning curiosity, asked, “Oh, how many Immortals are there in Healington? Are they often around here?”

“This…”

Old Man Li shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that. But during the free clinics, there’s only one person performing Immortal Laws. And since it’s been the same Immortal every year, it must be just one, right?”

“Don’t the old Immortals live in the valley usually?”

“I don’t know about that, we never see that old Immortal when we go to Healington, except during the clinics.”

Hearing his words, Greg Jensen and Old Six both smiled.

According to Old Man Li, an old Immortal would appear every year at the clinic, performing Immortal Laws for the common folk, but was otherwise not in Healington.

That meant during the annual clinic, someone from the Hidden Gate would come to help Healington establish its might so that Healington could better serve the Hidden Gate.

Old Six asked, “Old Li, when is the free clinic each year?”

Old Man Li was surprised at the question, “What do you want to know that for?”

“Just curious, I’d also like to witness the glory of an Immortal.”

“Oh, by my calculations, it should be in these next few days.”

After giving it some thought and smiling, Old Man Li said, “You’ve come at a good time. If you’re lucky, you might actually see the old Immortal.”

Old Six glanced at Greg Jensen with a grin, then said, “Haha, that would be great.”

Old Man Li continued to chatter on, but Greg Jensen and the others had already fallen silent.

After five hours of hiking in the mountains, they finally arrived at a valley. Along the mountain road, more than a dozen tents were pitched, and elegantly dressed people were chatting leisurely.

By the valley entrance stood a fortress wall more than ten meters high with martial artists patrolling on top, resembling a small fortress.

“Who goes there!”

As the two parties approached, a voice from atop the village wall called out.

Old Li cracked a wide smile, revealing a row of yellow teeth, and said with a laugh, “Xi’wa, it’s me.”

“Dad? Just a moment, I’ll open the gate for you.”

Upon hearing this, the man atop the wall hurriedly ran down.

Soon after, a small door next to the village wall opened, and a man in his thirties came running out.

“Dad, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you that it’s not peaceful in the valley lately, and not to bring people over?”

Old Li showed an embarrassed grin and turned to look at Greg Jensen.

Realizing the situation, Xi’wa said helplessly, “Dad, the valley pays us quite well; you really shouldn’t be doing this anymore.”

“Hehe, I’m just idling anyway.”

Old Li chuckled and asked, “Since we’re already here, can you take us in to see the Immortal Master?”

Xi’wa glanced at Greg Jensen and the others, and said, “This… alright, I’ll take them in to have a look first, but I can’t guarantee if the Immortal Masters will agree to meet them.”

“It’s fine, as long as we get inside.”

Old Li smiled and said to Greg Jensen and his companions, “Let’s go.”

“Sure, thank you for the trouble.”

Greg Jensen nodded, leading Huang Lao Liu and Ashley Dean as they followed behind.

As they were about to enter the valley, Huang Lao Liu suddenly looked back and said, “Hey, the ones following us aren’t with us.”

Cobe Myes’s expression darkened, and he coldly snorted, “I am from the Myes family in Harbor Island, I’ve already announced my arrival beforehand, let us in quickly.”

His arrogant demeanor immediately changed Xi’wa’s expression.

“From the Myes family in Harbor Island, right? Fine, you wait outside for a moment, I’ll inform them about you and see if the Immortal Masters are willing to meet you.”

After speaking, Xi’wa turned and left.

Seeing this, Cobe Myes became anxious and angrily said to his guide, “Say something.”

The guide, having no choice, stepped forward and said, “Old Li, please take them in as well.”

“Ai, alright then, for the sake of being fellow villagers.”

Old Li sighed, “Fine, let’s all go in together.”

Xi’wa coldly glanced at Cobe Myes, then nodded and walked through the small door without a word.

Huang Lao Liu gave a frivolous smile, preparing to mock, but was silenced by a slap on the head from Greg Jensen. He shrank his neck and quietly followed.

Of course, before leaving, he didn’t forget to glare back at Cobe Myes, making the latter’s face turn dark with anger.

“Damn, it’s so huge in here?”

Upon entering the valley, Huang Lao Liu was immediately shocked by the sight before him.

Giant medicinal fields stretched across the valley.

Ancient halls stood on the slopes, while uniform houses lay at the foothills, densely packed and orderly arranged.

Between the fields, peasants were bent over tilling the soil.

“Not only do Immortal Masters of Healington live here, but also the families of the Immortal Masters, who help cultivate the medicinal herbs.”

Old Li said proudly, “Once my Xi’wa becomes a master, I too will be able to move in here.”

“Impressive, truly impressive.”

Huang Lao Liu gave a thumbs-up, casually flattering him, which delighted Old Li to no end.

At that moment, a venerable elder with an air of otherworldly grace approached. Seeing Xi’wa leading so many strangers, his face grew stern.

“Why have outsiders been let in again?”
