After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 301 Peach Blossom Village

After Guo Yan applied the herbal medicine to He Yu, he carried him on his back and led the two of them into the depths of the blood mist.

As time went by, Tsuruha's condition improved significantly.

Although he was still unconscious, his body temperature had gradually decreased, and Shen Xu could feel that He Yu's wounds were slowly healing.

He had been using the power of blood to accelerate the healing of He Yu's body, but his injuries showed no signs of improvement. He attributed this to the fact that He Yu was a child with no cultivation, whose body was too fragile and whose self-healing ability was too weak. But now it seems that the problem might be with the blood beast.

"Thank you for the medicine!" Shen Xu said sincerely.

Given He Yu's previous condition, he would have died within a few days without timely treatment. Guo Yan truly saved the child's life.

It was all a matter of timing and fate; He Yu was incredibly lucky. If he hadn't met Guo Yan, there would have been almost no chance of him saving He Yu's life.

Seeing Shen Xu's pained expression, Guo Yan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring a child in here? Isn't this ridiculous?"

"His grandfather entrusted me to bring him into the True Blood Palace, regardless of his life or death, but I promised this child that I would bring him back safely," Shen Xu replied slowly.

“This… I’m not advising you to give up on him, but you probably wouldn’t have made it to the True Blood Palace without him, let alone with him. If it weren’t for this child, you probably wouldn’t have been hit by the Black Serpent’s venom.”

"I'll ask for his opinion after he wakes up!" Shen Xu hesitated.

He now felt that the old man from the Ancient Method Research Association must know something, but for some reason he couldn't tell him. However, since he had asked him to bring Crane Feather to the True Blood Palace, Crane Feather couldn't possibly be a burden.

However, the most important thing is Tsuruha's own thoughts, and he will respect Tsuruha's choice.

Guo Yan had stayed in the blood mist for many years and was very familiar with the nearby paths. He also knew where to avoid those powerful blood demons. Following Guo Yan's footsteps, he did not even sense the presence of a single blood beast.

After some time, Guo Yan led them to a small village located on a mountaintop.

"Welcome to Peach Blossom Village!" Guo Yan said with a smile, feeling quite pleased to have obtained the snake gall he had been dreaming of.

Looking at the village before him, Shen Xu was shocked. He couldn't believe that such a village could exist amidst the perilous blood mist.

The blood energy here was exceptionally thin compared to that at the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding environment was no longer a blood-red expanse, but rather almost identical to the outside world. There were even some fields planted with green crops, which was the only patch of green he had seen since entering the blood mist.

"It's quite remarkable that you found a place like this amidst the blood mist," Shen Xu remarked.

"We didn't find this place ourselves. We took over this place from our predecessors. We heard that this place was created by a powerful figure from the Seven Sects era, who risked his life to carve it out of the blood mist."

I am now the doctor of this village. Everyone who can live here has a skill. If you want to live here in the future, you must also show your value.

Peach Blossom Village doesn't support idlers, but it welcomes newcomers.

"We're just here to recover from our injuries; we won't stay long. The True Blood Palace is our true destination."

"Everyone here wants to go to the True Blood Palace, but in the end, most of them choose to eke out a living here. As long as they live, there is hope, hope of getting out!" At this moment, an old woman leaning on a cane slowly walked out of the wooden house next to her.

"Here, all we can do is wait for hope to come, but I believe my hope is in my own hands," Shen Xu said earnestly.

"Hmph! That's how young people are, so arrogant and ignorant. I'll wait until you come here begging me to take you in." The old woman couldn't help but sneer.

“Village chief, they are very strong. Even Black Serpent and Bloodwing, who joined forces, died at their hands. However, they were also injured as a result, so I brought them here to recuperate,” Guo Yan explained.

"The stronger you are here, the faster you die. The True Blood Palace is not far away. Over the past few thousand years, who has entered it? They have either become blood demons or withered bones."

"However, you've eliminated a major threat to the village by killing the black snake. I'll allow you to recuperate here, but I hope you won't cause trouble in Peach Blossom Village. Troublemakers aren't welcome here," the old woman warned coldly.

"Please rest assured, we don't want to cause any trouble," Li Xiaoyi replied.

"Your face is already a problem." The old woman gave Li Xiaoyi a disgusted look.

"Village chief, my wife urgently needs snake gall to save her life, and we can't delay." Seeing that the two sides were about to start arguing again, Guo Yan quickly stepped forward and interrupted them.

“She’s already too deeply poisoned. Even the black snake’s gall can’t save her. Instead of gambling on that slim chance, you might as well spend more time with her!” the old woman said mercilessly.

“Even the slightest possibility is possible, and I will not give up,” Guo Yan said firmly.

"Don't blame the village chief. Although she has a sharp tongue, she's a very good person. We've all received her help," Guo Yan said, defending the old woman after they left.

"How many people are in the village now?" Shen Xu asked, looking around. After entering the village, he found that most of the houses were empty, which seemed a bit eerie.

“Nine people. There have never been many people in Peach Blossom Village. At most, there have never been more than twenty. Only a few people can enter the True Blood Battlefield, and even fewer can come here.” Guo Yan’s tone was somewhat dejected.

Following Guo Yan, the two arrived at a house with a courtyard where many herbs they couldn't identify were drying, and a strong smell of herbs wafted from the main house.

After entering the room, Guo Yan gently placed the crane feather on the bed and said to Shen Xu, "Find a place to sit down first. Your back injury is quite serious. Take off your clothes and I'll find some medicine to apply to it."

"Thank you." The flesh on his back was so bloody that it was stuck to his clothes. He was only able to get it off with Li Xiaoyi's help. Li Xiaoyi felt very sorry for his mangled back.

“Brother Shen, your physique is truly amazing. It has only been a short time and your flesh and blood have already begun to heal. I wonder if my medicine might have any negative effects on your healing process.”

"Then help me bandage it up!" Shen Xu took out a bolt of purple silk.

"You really bring everything, but this piece of purple silk is priceless to me." Guo Yan smiled wryly after taking the purple silk.

"Brother Guo, please hurry up and make the antidote. I'm afraid things might get complicated if we delay." Li Xiaoyi's tone was full of worry.

“Miss Li, there’s no need to worry too much. What I said before was an exaggeration. Brother Shen’s body can withstand the residual toxins for a year or two without any problem.”

However, I'm not lying to you about one thing: the venom of the black snake can indeed be fatal if it's not completely removed, as it's a toxin that can grow.

"My wife was infected by the poison and it took too long for her condition to improve. Now, even if I get the snake gall, I might not be able to save her life." Guo Yan sighed deeply.

"That's my wife inside the curtained curtain. She was poisoned too badly and has been unconscious for a long time. Now her appearance has changed..."

Guo Yan fell silent at this point. "She loved beauty more than anything in her life, and she certainly wouldn't want outsiders to see her like this, so I hope you won't go and disturb her."

"Brother Guo, please rest assured, we are not meddlesome people," Shen Xu replied.

"Then I will thank you both on her behalf."

“It’s only natural for women to love beauty, Brother Guo is very kind,” Li Xiaoyi exclaimed.

Seemingly remembering something, Shen Xu asked with some concern, "Xiao Yi, when you were treating the flesh and blood on my back, did you get any venom on your skin?"

"I'm not as careless as you."

"Don't worry, as long as the black snake venom doesn't enter the bloodstream, it's not a big threat."

However, Miss Li is right; things can change in the long run. I'll begin preparing the antidote today.
