We’ve come just to ask for a drink of water!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his cane tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small yellow dog ran out of the house and barked incessantly at He Pingsheng and Qiao Huiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng made no move—merely swept his spiritual sense lightly, and the puppy immediately lay still on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator’s aura still affects ordinary animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another girl emerged from a thatched cottage to the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared sixteen or seventeen, clean-faced and fairly pretty, but limped as she walked—her right leg was crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s spiritual sense swept over her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the old man and the girl were ordinary mortals—no trace of cultivation on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, besides these two, no one else was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Water?” The old man asked again, leaning on his cane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded: “Yes, old sir—we’d be grateful for a drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Huiyu spoke too, looking at the girl: “Miss, could you bring me a bowl of water?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl said nothing in response to Qiao Huiyu’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man hurriedly said: “Don’t ask her—she’s deaf… can’t hear. Oh… she’s both deaf and mute… sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the old man sighed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deaf and mute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng glanced at the girl, his heart filled with pity: Her fate was truly cruel—crippled, deaf, and mute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man himself fetched a bowl of water and respectfully offered it to He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng took the water but did not drink immediately; instead, he asked: “Old sir, may I ask your surname?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man replied: “My surname is Cheng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…” He Pingsheng nodded, handed the water to Qiao Huiyu, and helped her sit on a large stone roller beneath the tree. “Old Master Cheng, I’d like to ask you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you the only one farming in this remote wilderness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man sighed: “I wasn’t alone. My son and daughter-in-law and I fled here to escape disaster—we were a whole family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then my son and daughter-in-law passed away, leaving only my granddaughter and me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the girl is disabled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have many years left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I die, what will become of her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one will marry her…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the old man’s face was etched with sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng asked: “Is her disability congenital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” the old man nodded. “Her deafness and muteness were born with her. Her leg injury happened later—that’s how it became like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, He Pingsheng said: “Old sir… I can cure your granddaughter. But I’d like to ask you for something in return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For He Pingsheng, external injuries were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it wasn’t a congenital defect, a single [Healing Blood Elixir] would fix it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A supreme-grade Healing Blood Elixir, swallowed, could restore the girl’s crippled leg within half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>",1068,"2026-06-21T04:09:00.242Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9213d04bd95d9a40eb933d63604b28d2117a8452c5fa19b699e049f4147604b7","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-231","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-229",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
