Others might not understand, but Fang Yue felt that Lord Han definitely did!

Coupled with the special treatment he received from Lord Han.

For some reason, Fang Yue had a feeling in his heart, vaguely thinking that asking these questions of Lord Han at this time was a dangerous idea.

But after thinking it over, Fang Yue's eyes became firm, and with an idea, he pushed open the gate of the Han residence and walked in.

The Han residence was much livelier than before.

Because many patients were arranged in the Han residence for Doctor An to treat.

Doctor An's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. No matter who he was saving, his fees had never been lowered.

Saving batches of people from Guyue Village was a huge payout.

In addition to the injured and Doctor An, Doctor Hong and other doctors also came after their work became idle, following behind Doctor An like tagalongs, looking like sycophants.

"Yeye! Why are you here?"

Seeing Fang Yue, Doctor An greeted him very warmly.

He had earned a lot of money from Fang Yue, so his attitude was very good.

Doctor Hong and others followed behind Doctor An and also greeted Fang Yue.

Fang Yue didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I want to see Lord Han."

"Lord Han is in seclusion and won't see anyone."

"Not even me?"

Fang Yue asked strangely.

"Probably not. Lord Han only said that he wouldn't see anyone before going into seclusion, so that should include you."

"...I want to try. Can you tell me where Lord Han is in seclusion?"

"That's no problem."

Doctor An was generous this time, telling Fang Yue the location without asking for money.

However, after Fang Yue inquired carefully, he realized that the location of Lord Han's seclusion was known to all the captains of Guyue Village.

Fang Yue was nominally a deputy captain, but in reality, he was also a captain in the village. Even if he didn't want to know, Lin Ling would tell him.

It was just that the traitor incident happened in the morning, and Hua Wuye was seriously injured, so no one told Fang Yue these common things.

As for Doctor An knowing, that was because he had a good relationship with Lord Han.

After learning about Lord Han's place of seclusion, Fang Yue originally wanted to go directly, but suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, how is Niu Niu's treatment going? I came to find him last night, but he didn't respond."

"The treatment was perfect!"

Speaking of Niu Niu, Doctor An became interested.

"I discovered that after Niu Niu was washed by the effects of the Shi Xin Dan (Heart-Eating Pill), his body still retained some of the medicinal power. That special state between ordinary people and medicine people is very suitable for a kind of strengthening pill I am developing."

"I experimented on him, and it was a great success! I plan to study it further when I go back. If there are no accidents, it will be available in three to five years! This is a major discovery!"

Experiment? Great success?

"Um...is Niu Niu okay?"

"Okay? Of course, he's okay, how could anything happen? He's so happy he can't even close his mouth! His dual attributes have increased by at least 5 points! If he cultivated normally, it would take at least ten years of hard work!"

Fang Yue: …

If it were a native, it would definitely take ten years of hard work, but for players, it wouldn't take that long.

Of course, Fang Yue was also envious of the sudden increase in so many attributes, which was equivalent to soloing a major youkai.

Youkai are hard to come by, and now you can just take medicine to increase your stats, which is great!

Looking at his friend list, ignoring the piles of messages from other people, he found Niu Niu.

Finding that Niu Niu had not replied, Fang Yue knew that he had not yet logged in, so he temporarily ignored him.

Heading straight to Lord Han's seclusion point, Fang Yue was a little confused.

According to Doctor An, Lord Han was in seclusion in a courtyard in the Han residence, but according to the prompts, he came to a place and found that there was only a small rockery and some flowers and plants.

Could it be...underground?

Fang Yue searched the ground all over, but still couldn't find any entrance.

Helpless, he had to say, "Lord Han, I am Xiao Ye. I have something I want to see you about."

As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly appeared in front of him.

When the fog dissipated, Fang Yue realized that he was not in the Han residence at all, but in a freezing ice cave.

The ice cave was not big, with an ice round table, two ice chairs, and a large ice bed inside.

Lord Han was sitting cross-legged on the ice bed, motionless.

"Lord, Lord Han."

"...What is it?"

Lord Han slowly opened his eyes.

Lord Han at this time was somewhat different from the Lord Han that Fang Yue usually saw.

Those cold eyes were like those of a heartless immortal, looking down on everything in the world!

Fang Yue lowered his head slightly and said, "Lord Han, Lin Ling and I have already found the traitor. It was Mu Zi from the guard team. We have already executed her on the spot."

Lord Han nodded expressionlessly: "Well done."

The voice was ethereal, echoing in the cave, giving people a sense of distance.

"When I leave seclusion, there will be rewards. What else is there?"

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, secretly raised his head to glance at Lord Han, and carefully pondered his words.

"Lord Han, that traitor said...I am being targeted by the youkai outside."

"..."

Lord Han didn't speak immediately, but stared at Fang Yue for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

"You are indeed being targeted, but it shouldn't be a problem in the short term."

Having said that, Fang Yue felt that there was no point in hiding it, and said directly: "Lord Han, I want to know why I am being targeted by the youkai, and what their purpose is? That night when the earth's core was broken, what did [Wu Ren Gui] (Blade-less Youkai) mean by 'not yet mature'? Why did she want to abduct me?"

Hearing this, Lord Han closed his eyes: "I can see that you are very confused."

Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he saluted: "Please enlighten me, Lord Han!"

"You are weak, and knowing this matter early will not do you any good. But seeing you so uneasy, it doesn't matter if I tell you now."

After a pause, Lord Han asked, "Have you ever heard of [Ling Gen] (Spirit Root)?"

Spirit Root?

Fang Yue was stunned.

A spiritual tree root? The foundation of spirit?

Or...the most commonly said, cultivation spirit root?

After hesitating, Fang Yue hesitated and said: "Could it be...the spirit root that represents cultivation comprehension?"

Lord Han looked at Fang Yue with some surprise and nodded: "Not bad."

"Few people know about spirit roots now. I didn't expect you drifters to know about spirit roots."

After all, we are not natives, and our knowledge is broader...

Of course, Fang Yue would definitely not say this, but just smiled shyly.

"The so-called spirit root is the foundation of cultivation. Without a spirit root, you cannot cultivate, and you will never have the opportunity to enter the realm of immortals!"

The realm of immortals? Cultivation?

Fang Yue showed a puzzled expression: "Lord Han, what level is this realm of immortals? How does it compare to your strength?"

"Me? An immortal?"

Lord Han smiled dumbly, making Fang Yue feel for the first time that Lord Han had his usual appearance in the ice cave.

But then, Lord Han's smile dimmed.

"You should already know what the Rain grade is."

"I, who is suffering from ice disease, only have the power of half a Rain grade, not as good as the Rain grade."

"And after the Rain grade, is the Immortal grade!"

"The Immortal grade is a symbol of entering the realm of immortals, transcending the mortal world, transforming the ordinary into immortals, and becoming the Immortal grade!"

"From the Rain grade to the Immortal grade, this step is like a chasm! Separating life and death, transforming the two poles, and severing Yin and Yang! As far as I know, most of the strong people in the world are locked in the Rain grade realm, and there is no hope for the Immortal grade in their lifetime!"

"And the reason for this is that they are missing a medicine, a medicine called spirit root!"

Half Rain grade, Rain grade, Immortal grade, spirit root...

In just a few words, Fang Yue's heart was surging, and his thoughts fluctuated violently.

Suddenly, Fang Yue thought of something.
