Chapter 1711: Lowly Commoner

At noon, the sun was so large it dazzled the eyes.

Ye Liuyun could only close his eyes and lie down.

He didn't dare to fall asleep, fearing a ferocious beast would eat him.

Suddenly, he heard human voices.

The voices sounded like an old man and a child; Ye Liuyun vaguely heard an elder speaking about medicinal herbs to a youngster.

Ye Liuyun held his breath, not wanting to be discovered.

He didn't know whether the newcomers were good or evil, or if they would seize his belongings.

If they were villains, he would have to use poison source to kill them.

When he heard footsteps, the old man and child also noticed him.

"Grandpa, there's a person over there!"

A child's voice rang out.

"Go over and take a look!"

An elder's voice also sounded, and the two of them walked over together.

Ye Liuyun lay flat on the ground, unable to see anyone, only hearing the approaching footsteps.

"Is this person dead?"

After the child approached, he dared not get any closer.

The elder sized Ye Liuyun up and asked directly, "You are a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Realm, aren't you?"

"You need not be afraid; we mean no harm."

After speaking, the elder stepped directly into Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detection range, allowing him to see the whole scene.

The child also came over, tugging at the elder's sleeve.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected that both were dressed plainly, each carrying a basket on their backs, looking like they had come up the mountain to gather herbs.

Seeing their simple appearance, Ye Liuyun found them very peaceful, and they could tell he was from the Divine Realm, realizing feigning death was useless.

He could only keep his eyes closed and reply, "Yes, I am from the Mortal Realm.

Senior, this really is the Divine Realm?"

Ye Liuyun still wanted to confirm with the elder.

"Exactly! You need not worry; after a month of acclimation, all your abilities will recover.

But lying here like this makes you prone to encountering ferocious beasts.

If you don't mind, I can take you to our dwelling, let you recover, and then you can leave. How does that sound?"

The elder wanted to rescue Ye Liuyun, but didn't know whether Ye Liuyun would dare to follow him.

Ye Liuyun hesitated; if he fell into villains' hands, he would have no strength to resist.

At that moment, the little boy said to Ye Liuyun, "My grandpa is a good man, the village doctor; he treats many people and will heal you too!"

Hearing the boy's innocent words, Ye Liuyun thought he could give it a try.

At least this elder and child seemed to have no ill intent toward him.

"Then I trouble you, senior! But my bones are all broken and my body is weak, so moving would be difficult."

Ye Liuyun first expressed thanks, then thought that having this grandparent‑grandchild pair move him would be somewhat difficult.

"That's fine.

I may not have much strength, but I do have the ability to shift a few things!"

The elder seemed to know what Ye Liuyun was worried about.

He immediately used True Essence to gently lay Ye Liuyun flat, causing no pain at all.

"Thank you, senior!"

Ye Liuyun also hurriedly thanked him.

The little boy, seeing Ye Liuyun with his eyes closed, asked curiously, "Why aren't you opening your eyes?"

"Did your eyes go blind as well?"

"Xingnan!"

The elder rebuked the boy.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "No problem, child! My eyes are fine; the sun is just too glaring, so I had to close them!"

"I see!"

The boy smiled, glanced at the sun in the sky, and agreed it was indeed quite dazzling.

He was only five or six years old, not understanding many things.

The elder then used True Essence to pull Ye Liuyun back.

"My name is Ye Liuyun, from Xing Yao Continent; how should I address you, senior?"

Ye Liuyun introduced himself and asked the elder.

"Just call me Li Laotou'er! This is my grandson Li Xingnan," the elder introduced.

"The villagers call my grandpa the Medicine God!"

Li Xingnan interjected.

He probably seldom meets outsiders, so Ye Liuyun's arrival excited him, and he chatted nonstop along the way.

"What 'Medicine God'? That's just the neighbors' joke! I'm merely a village medicine farmer, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Li Laotou'er explained, fearing Ye Liuyun might misunderstand.

Li Laotou'er was clearly not very strong; after walking a stretch, he had to set Ye Liuyun down to rest.

"What a hassle, Senior Li!"

Ye Liuyun also repeatedly thanked, knowing the other party wasn't easy either.

He used Divine Sense to sense the old man's True Essence strength; it seemed still not as high as his Mysterious Origin quality.

「Not troublesome, my grandfather often saves people! 」

That Old Man Li hadn't spoken yet, Li Xingnan took over the conversation.

「Hehe, yeah! I don't have much to do every day, just gathering herbs and making medicine, treating illnesses and saving people! I don't have great skills, only able to treat minor ailments, relying on this to make a living! 」

Old Man Li affectionately patted his grandson's head and started chatting with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun learned that their village wasn't big, with just over two hundred people, probably relatively safe.

Old Man Li also told Ye Liuyun that he was fortunate, the people here are simple and honest, they won't harm him, nor will they rob his belongings.

「What attitude do the people here have toward those from the Mortal Realm. 」

「If an unlucky Martial Cultivator comes here, what will happen to them? 」

Ye Liuyun also started asking.

「Sigh! 」

Old Man Li sighed and began talking to Ye Liuyun.

「In the eyes of Divine Realm people, those from the Mortal Realm are lowly commoners.

If you appear in a crowded place or at some major power's domain, you'll be unlucky, be branded with a Slave Seal and treated like a beast of burden.

Naturally, nothing will be left for you.

Moreover, you won't be given any cultivation resources in the future.

Your treatment is even worse than that of an ordinary servant. 」.

「How tragic! 」

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect that he now couldn't even be considered an ordinary commoner, but was regarded as a lowly commoner.

Old Man Li sighed again and continued speaking to Ye Liuyun: 「Actually we villagers are the same; in the eyes of those major powers, we are also lowly commoners, without any status. 」.

Ye Liuyun, upon hearing that, also remained silent.

The law of the jungle is the same everywhere.

He just didn't expect that the Divine Realm's class discrimination seemed even more severe than that of Zhongyang Dalu.

Old Man Li saw Ye Liuyun silent and immediately changed the topic: 「Don't talk about this anyway! Anyway, you'll gradually find out later. 」.

They walked on and off, and after a little half day, finally returned to a simple dwelling.

This is a small courtyard with only three Stone Houses, and some medicinal herbs are planted in it, looking quite simple.

「This is our home! The medicinal herbs in the courtyard are planted by Grandfather; you must not touch them! 」.

Li Xingnan kept introducing Ye Liuyun.
