"Really didn't expect this..."

Brian Young gave the family head an apologetic smile, then turned and left.

In the past, he was the genius of the family, and the family head Henry Young cared for him deeply, often guiding him in cultivation.

He had long anticipated that he would be neglected by the family, but he never expected that the family head would directly tell him to get out.

"Big brother... why did you suddenly leave?"

Eric Young was confused; he hadn't heard the family head's voice transmission.

"Little brother, you stay here and watch. What use is a cripple like me at the 'Wen Tian Assembly'? Right now, I miss mother and little sister a bit, so I'll go home first."

Brian Young smiled freely, glancing lightly at the family head and the elders on the stage.

"Then be careful..."

Eric Young watched his brother's departing figure, his white hair fluttering in the wind, looking so lonely.

His heart ached, and a tear fell.

However, he did not know that the fall of a genius was only the beginning of something new...

Chapter 009: White Jade Ginseng

That desolate, weathered figure, with white hair swaying in the wind, once the family's number one genius, slowly left the Wen Tian Assembly.

On the viewing platform, the family head Henry Young watched Brian Young's departing figure, his heart skipping a beat.

Before leaving, Brian Young gave the family head an apologetic smile, which stirred up an indescribable feeling in his heart.

As the head of the Yang family, Henry Young was a man who valued profit above all.

Since Brian Young had become a cripple, he was of no use to the family anymore. Keeping him here would only bring shame, so there was no need for him to stay.

Brian Young's departure naturally drew a lot of attention.

Even Gregory Young, who had just taken the stage, couldn't help but glance at him, his heart surging with excitement: "From today on, I am the number one among the younger generation of the family. No one can stop my advance..."

In a corner of the crowd, Amanda Young, dressed in splendid attire and as beautiful as a flower, had a trace of pity flash in her bright eyes, which was soon replaced by indifference: "What a pity... the family's top genius. If it weren't for this accident, father might have married me to him..."

Fatty Lee saw Brian Young leave, his eyes darting around, a sinister glint flashing through them.

He secretly took a small paper crane from his storage pouch, sent a few streaks of spiritual light into it, and whispered a few words to the crane.

Finally, he flicked his finger, and the little paper crane turned into a faint, unremarkable greenish light, flying into the sky and disappearing from sight.

Brian Young left the family's restricted area and returned to the bustling Yang Family Fort.

Here, the cries of various vendors in the marketplace reached Brian Young's ears.

Yang Family Fort was not purely a place of immortals; countless mortals lived here, relying on the neighboring Yang family to the south.

"Zhang Laosan's buns, big and fragrant, three for one wen!"

"Freshly made Chenxi pancakes, crispy and delicious, buy three get one free!"

"Wang Laoji rice wine, a century-old brand, mellow and tasty..."

...

"This is the world of ordinary people. They seem carefree, but in reality, they suffer bullying and endure birth, aging, sickness, and death. Even princes and nobles cannot escape death, nor glimpse the true nature of this world."

Brian Young gazed at the lively Yang Family Fort marketplace, but his heart was calm.

Once he had touched the path of immortality and seen the hope of eternal life, he could no longer return to the ant-like life of looking up to others.

Standing still, Brian Young once again immersed his mind into the Xianhong Space.

He squatted down, pressing his palm to the green ground. Green light spots continuously surged into his body, rapidly healing his injuries and replenishing his life force at an incredible speed.

These green light spots even entered his mind, nourishing his soul!

After the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Brian Young felt refreshed, and the broken meridians and damaged organs in his body were all restored.

"This is simply miraculous. The healing effect of the green land is far stronger than those so-called elixirs and miraculous medicines."

Brian Young exhaled lightly, his face gaining some color, and even his white hair showed a few darker strands.

In just half a cup of tea's time, Brian Young had regained the robust body of a cultivator at the Condensing Spirit stage. The only difference now was that he had lost his magical power, and his primordial spirit was not as strong as before, but he was still several times stronger than an ordinary person.

"In my current state, even without relying on the Xianhong Space, I could recover my former cultivation within four or five years."

Brian Young was extremely excited, his hands trembling slightly.

The green land had easily restored his vitality and energy, nourished his soul, freed him from the limits of age, and given him the potential of an eleven- or twelve-year-old youth.

"This is great. I'll go home now and cultivate that set of 'Xianhong Art.'"

Brian Young withdrew his mind and headed toward his own courtyard in Yang Family Fort.

However, halfway there, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

He immediately turned sideways, catching a glimpse of something behind him out of the corner of his eye, but his gaze landed on the stall in front of him.

"How much is this ginseng..."

Brian Young asked, pretending to be interested.

"That was close, he almost noticed me!"
