After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Chapter 81 Lingxu Zhenren, somewhat divine.

Jiang Jiahao's grand convoy drove straight into Lingxu Mountain outside the city.

The road from the foot of the mountain to the top is winding and twisting, making it impossible for a horse-drawn carriage to go up.

Everyone got off the car and went up the steps.

Fortunately, it wasn't steep, and the Taoist temple wasn't as high up as legend had it, with only a few hundred steps, making it about the height of a twenty-story building in later times.

Landlord Jiang, panting, sighed: "I hope this old Taoist is just a fraud. If he's really capable, Mingfei will definitely be exposed."

The rest of the people (except Wenbin and Li Mo) climbed the stairs with high expectations and were very motivated.

Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

A young Taoist boy stood at the entrance of the temple. Upon seeing them arrive, he stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Esteemed benefactors, have you come to see my master?"

Landlord Jiang quickly returned the greeting, "Indeed, indeed. We have long admired the great name of Daoist Lingxu and have come to pay our respects. Please inform him, young Daoist."

The young Taoist boy nodded. "Master knew you were coming and is already waiting for you inside. Please follow me."

The young Taoist boy led the group into the Taoist temple.

To avoid chaos, Landlord Jiang had everyone wait in the outer hall, and only brought Lin's eldest uncle and Lin Yueniang and her brother inside.

The interior of the Taoist temple is simply furnished, yet it exudes a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

In the center of the main hall sat an elderly Taoist priest with white hair, presumably the abbot of this temple, Master Lingxu.

The three hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, and Master Qingxu nodded slightly, indicating that they should sit down.

Landlord Jiang got straight to the point: "Taoist Master, we have come here to ask you to take a look at my grandson."

A month ago, he was inexplicably poisoned. Although he sought out famous doctors to detoxify him, he could not remove the remaining poison from his body.

He has to sleep for more than ten hours every day, and our whole family is worried that if this continues, something unexpected might happen…

Following his grandson's instructions, Landlord Jiang recited the 'lines' again.

Master Lingxu glanced at the seemingly honest and simple-looking landlord Jiang, but did not immediately respond.

He made a quick finger gesture with his right hand, then stopped abruptly.

Landlord Jiang was a little uneasy, but on the surface he still looked anxiously waiting for Master Lingxu to give him a reply.

"I am not talented enough to solve your predicament."

Lingxu Daoist waved his whisk, as if to see the guest off.

"Uh, this! Daoist Master, you haven't even seen my nephew yet! How can you draw such a conclusion!"

Uncle Lin was getting anxious. His father-in-law had already invited all the well-known doctors within a radius of several hundred miles.

For those from even further away, firstly, there's the fear of not having enough time, and secondly, the doctors there might not be willing to travel such a long distance to treat the grandson of a small landowner.

Moreover, doctors who can detoxify are extremely rare in this world, and among those hidden masters, he currently only knows of this Master Lingxu!

"Master, please save my son. He is only six years old and should not suffer like this."

Lin Yueniang's lips trembled slightly, and in the end she couldn't hold back her tears. She had been holding back all the way, but finally she couldn't hold back anymore.

Landlord Jiang wanted to say: Since you can't help us, then we'll take our leave.

But no, that's not how someone who loves their grandson dearly should behave.

"Don't panic...don't panic, the child will get better when the time comes. Instead of begging everywhere, we should wait quietly."

"What...what does this mean?"

Lin's brother and sister didn't understand, but Landlord Jiang did. This old Taoist priest really had some skills; he knew his grandson was faking it.

"Understood, Master. Then we will do as you say and wait quietly."

The Lin siblings: What do you understand? We don't understand!

Landlord Jiang gave the Lin siblings a wink, and although they were still somewhat puzzled, they didn't press the matter further.

After thanking Master Lingxu, the group left the Taoist temple and descended the mountain, led by a young Taoist disciple.

The long convoy arrived in a hurry and returned slowly.

"Father, what exactly does the Taoist priest mean?" Lin Yueniang couldn't help but ask as soon as she entered the house.

"Yes, Uncle, are we really just going to do nothing and wait around?" Uncle Lin was also very puzzled.

Couldn't we ask Master Lingxu again? He was just about to throw a tantrum, but Uncle Jiang's side retreated first.

"Didn't the Taoist priest make it very clear? When the time comes, Mingfei will naturally overcome the difficulties."

"Huh? Is this...is this reliable?"

"Uncle, I trust you completely. The Taoist Master Lingxu you introduced must be a reclusive master. Listening to the Taoist Master is definitely the right thing to do!"

Okay, the pressure has been successfully shifted to Uncle Lin.

"Yes, it was I who suggested going to see Master Lingxu, but... but..."

Uncle Lin wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Landlord Jiang, "Alright, you've been traveling all day, go back and rest."

Seeing that Landlord Jiang had said so, the two could only return to their room with heavy hearts.

That night, Lin Yueniang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, still wanting to go see her son.

Wenbin and Li Mo stood guard outside Jiang Xiaoqi's room like two door gods, not letting a single fly in.

There are indeed no flies at this time of year.

After confirming that his wife was fast asleep, Landlord Jiang secretly went to his grandson's room under the cover of night.

At this moment, Jiang Mingfei was no longer weak and listless as she had been during the day, and was now playing with a wooden box with great enthusiasm.

"Grandpa, did you go to the Taoist temple during the day?"

Since the grandfather and grandson shared a secret, they have become closer than before. Landlord Jiang accepted the hot tea that Wenbin offered him, but was in no hurry to answer his grandson.

He took a sip of hot tea and said, "Ah...yes, that Master Lingxu seems to have some skill. He just did a quick calculation and seemed to know your true situation."

Fortunately, they didn't expose us on the spot, but instead politely invited us out.

"It seems that the Taoist priest is indeed quite capable. If I have the chance in the future, I should really go and meet him."

"Alright, let's not think about that now. Let's think about the present. Tomorrow, are you sure it's okay for you to sleep like this every day?"

People are already preparing for the county-level examination next month.

Of course, Landlord Jiang had no idea that his grandson wasted every single one of the ten hours of the day, studying diligently in the virtual study space, even while his head was tied to the rafters and his thigh was pricking with an awl.

It's normal to feel anxious as an uninformed bystander.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Although last-minute cramming can be effective, knowledge is more about accumulation."

You yourself have taken the county and prefectural examinations, so you should naturally understand.

"Alas, concern leads to confusion, concern leads to confusion. Indeed, you have always been at the top of your class in the clan school, and the teachers have given you very high praise. You will surely pass the county examination smoothly."

Landlord Jiang: Hmph! It's precisely because my grandson is too outstanding that he has inadvertently provoked such a treacherous and vicious person!

Landlord Jiang was furious, but luckily his grandson was blessed with good fortune and had many capable people around him, otherwise he would have really fallen into their trap.

Jiang Xiaoqi's "complete disclosure" of Jiang the landlord was certainly exaggerated.

On the snowy night he was poisoned, he was awakened early by the barely perceptible noises on the roof tiles. After all, what was an extremely subtle sound to others would be magnified several times to him.

This "super hearing" function bothered him for quite some time, and it took him a long time to learn how to turn it off.

Upon hearing the sound from the roof tiles, he opened his eyes and saw a thin thread hanging down from the roof.

The silk thread touched his teacup, but only for a moment before being pulled back.

Seeing that the people upstairs were not leaving for a long time, he had no choice but to get out of his warm bed and drink the cup of warm tea that had been spiked.

This is definitely not the version that was told to his grandfather, and he didn't mention anything about an invulnerability pill.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while longer about trivial matters. After calming down a bit, Landlord Jiang quietly gathered his clothes and went home.

After seeing her grandfather off, Jiang Xiaoqi was about to lie down when her ears twitched involuntarily: There was someone on the roof!
