Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 125: Too strong

Well, the looks on their faces gave me the answer that I wanted.

It was clear that all of them had a bad first impression of me, but that wasn’t strange with how I had acted.

I could understand why they would have thought this way of me.

But before I could say anything else, the village chiefs quickly came forward and bowed their heads as they said, "Young master, we’re sorry. If you’re satisfied, please just punish us and spare the rest of our villages."

Seeing this, some of the villagers who were on the side wanted to come forward to help their village chiefs.

However, I didn’t let them.

I just came forward and helped the village chiefs up as I said, "Don’t worry about it, I understand why you felt that way. I didn’t really instill confidence in you with how I had acted, so it wasn’t as if you had a reason to believe in me."

Then I said with a more serious look, "Though you can’t blame me since this was a serious situation. I hope that all of you will remain vigilant until everyone is safe."

The village chiefs and the villagers all revealed touched looks once again before they all bowed to me and said, "Young master, thank you for your generosity."

I waved my hand and then helped them up again as I said, "It’s natural, this is just a part of being human. We should help each other when we can."

The lackeys had smiles on their faces when they saw this, but there was a trace of guilt in their eyes.

It was the same for Elder Tian.

That was because they had thought the same as the villagers just now.

They had a bad impression of Lin Fan, thinking that he had run away.

It was only when they arrived back in town that they realized what he had been doing and it had been too late to regret then.

They had been so busy with arranging everything that they never had the time to think about what they had done.

But now that they had some time to stop and think, they couldn’t help feeling guilty as well since they had doubted Lin Fan just like the villagers had.

In their minds, they made up the resolution to apologize later.

Elder Tian was especially impressed by Lin Fan.

"Not only is he rich and talented, he even has such a good personality. It seems like I wasn’t wrong about this young man when I first saw him. Now...how do I convince those two..." This was what Elder Tian was thinking.

The two that he was referring to were naturally Liu Han and Yao Fu.

With this move, Lin Fan had won Elder Tian over to his side completely and now he was even thinking about convincing those two standing in his way for him.

I couldn’t help feeling awkward seeing all these people bowing to me like this, so I quickly excused myself and gave them the excuse of working on the food to keep them occupied.

Once I was alone, I went back to check on the people that were still injured.

I had wanted to get a closer look at them earlier, but I had to take care of everything else first that I never got a chance.

If possible, I wanted to see if there was anything else that I could do for them.

Elder Tian followed me while the lackeys went off to help the villagers.

Taking advantage of this moment alone, Elder Tian asked something that had been bothering him the entire time.

"Why didn’t you just directly use the Nine Lives Herb on them? It would have healed them much faster. I’m certain that just one blade from it would have been more than enough to heal them all."

With a bitter smile, I shook my head and said, "If I were to do that, what would happen to them?"

Elder Tian was confused at first, but then he slowly showed a look of understanding as he looked at the villagers that were lying there.

Right, they were mortals.

What he was thinking about was the case for normal people, but for normal people like them who didn’t have any cultivation at all...

It was simply just too strong to directly use the Nine Lives Grass on them.

Even if it was a gentle herb that had a healing effect, the amount of spiritual energy was just too much for normal people to handle. It would have harmed them more than help them if they had used the Nine Lives Grass directly on these injured people.

But there was something that still bothered Elder Tian about this.

Even if this was the case, what was the thing that Lin Fan had used with the Nine Lives Grass?

It was clear that whatever it was, it had an effect on these mortals.

"What is the thing that you’ve stuck the Nine Lives Grass in? Why does it work for the mortals?"

I revealed an awkward look on my face when I heard this.

This would have been easy to explain in my previous life, but it wasn’t as easy in this life.

What this thing was was a simple reed diffuser.

I soaked the Nine Lives Grass in the special water from the system that helped gather its essence and then that was spread across the room with evaporation through the reeds. This allowed the essence of the Nine Lives Grass to be diluted to the point where it was weak enough that it wouldn’t have any strong adverse effects on mortals like these villagers.

Of course, that meant having to explain the concept of evaporation and diffusion to Elder Tian which was a pain in the butt.

It was even hard for me to understand it without the system explaining it to me.

So in the end...

"It’s an item that can help dilute the Nine Lives Grass and weaken it to the point where it’s not harmful to humans, while also helping them recover."

Elder Tian could see that, but since I wasn’t willing to explain it, it wasn’t as if he could keep asking.

So we just dropped this matter.
