I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality

Sincerely signed at the bottom, husband Feng Junbao and wife Qian Yulan.

After Xu Qing finished reading, he didn't know what to say. That Feng Junbao was no stranger, he was the famous Second Master Feng of Flower and Bird Street.

Not long ago, he had just given a lot of Return Spirit Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills over, so why has he run to the Baosheng Temple to make a wish again?

If you say Second Master Feng doesn't trust him, that Baosheng Temple was also opened by him, so whether Second Master Feng prays to Lady Baosheng or to him, there's no difference.

But if you say he trusts him, this Second Master Feng wants to rebuild the golden statue and expand the temple, making it seem like if these weren't done, he wouldn't be willing to help.

"I'll definitely have to go back and adjust the Feng Shui in Second Master's house later, preferably into a configuration that's conducive to childbirth, he must have twins, right?"

Look at what's being said, luckily Second Master Feng went out of his way to pray to Lady Baosheng, otherwise who knows what great opportunity might have been missed.

When the sunlight was slightly askew at noon, Xu Qing left Xuan Yu to watch the shop, while he himself rode a vigorous Thousand-Mile Steed, galloping swiftly, and soon arrived at the village where midwife Liu was located.

Baosheng Temple was lacking a temple priest to clean the temple, and if a woman seeks help during childbirth in the future, there'd be no 'auntie' to come forward and handle the situation.

Xu Qing had previously planned that Baosheng Temple must at least hire a temple priest, and preferably one who could assist in childbirth and treat gynecological issues.

Finding someone who met these conditions was not easy.

According to Xu Qing's original plan, either he would recruit midwife Liu to his side, or go to her to see if she could recommend a few suitable candidates.

However, when Xu Qing arrived at the village where midwife Liu lived, he was informed by the villagers that Sister Liu had already left the village, reportedly to the Shu Region to join distant relatives.

Going to the Shu Region to visit relatives? Who delivered the child of the county magistrate's house, and who else would advise the county magistrate to build a temple and distribute birth handbooks, besides midwife Liu, who else would do such things?

Moreover, midwife Liu was a Galloping Immortal Disciple of the Python Immortal and had always been an independent spirit, what relatives could she possibly have to join? And in the far-off territory of Shu Region no less.

Xu Qing, full of doubts, found midwife Liu's residence.

The small courtyard was built with thatched eaves and a bamboo fence, judging by the moss marks inside, it indeed seemed to have been uninhabited for some time.

Xu Qing used the Qi Observation Skill but did not detect a trace of human presence; however, he did discover a hint of demonic aura hidden in the courtyard.

Flipping over into the small courtyard, Xu Qing followed the trace of demonic aura, lifted a haystack, and saw a large, rusty cast iron pot in which a white snake as thick as a child's arm lay coiled.

Xu Qing recognized the snake before him, as this white snake was indeed midwife Liu's celestial spirit.

The white snake, which had been resting to avoid the heat, was greatly startled but when it saw Xu Qing's appearance, it immediately spoke in human tongue, "So it's you, I thought a snake catcher had come to get me…"

A snake catcher, a branch of the Mountain Driver profession, are expert snake hunters, and even some established Snake Demons sometimes fall into the hands of snake catchers.

Because many snake catchers have secret remedies specifically designed to restrain snakes.

The white snake had crossed paths with Xu Qing while helping midwife Liu deliver a baby at Li Mugen's house.

However, this white snake also didn't know where midwife Liu had gone.

This was the first time Xu Qing had encountered a celestial spirit being abandoned by a Galloping Immortal Disciple.

"You're a celestial spirit, can't you sense her location?"

The white snake replied, "Sister Liu was taken away by an elderly lady. Before leaving, she said the elderly lady was a benefactor who had once helped her, and that it was time for her to repay the kindness. That day she cut off her connection with me, and no matter what, I cannot find where she went."

Hearing this, Xu Qing calculated using Purple Star Astrology but also gained no results.

What a strange affair.

Xu Qing felt something wasn't right, but he couldn't figure out where to start investigating.

Shaking his head, Xu Qing looked again at the white snake in the pot.

"Little celestial spirit, I see that staying unemployed at home isn't doing you any good. If you're interested, why not come work for me? I can find another 'auntie' to guide you in becoming a Galloping Immortal, and also provide you with a steady income from incense offerings, what do you think?"
