Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 82 Looking for the entrance

Lin Fan sat in the woodshed, his mind in turmoil. "Entrance," the passage back to the present world—does such a thing really exist?

The doctor casually sat down. "Perhaps you don't quite believe me, so let me tell you about myself first. I'm not a time traveler. I'm a person from this world, or as you would say, a 'native.' My name is Lei Wulun, and I grew up in the Southern Frontier. I used to travel the world practicing medicine, and I even went to the northern deserts, which were truly a vast expanse of yellow sand..."

Lin Fan interrupted impatiently, "Get to the point. The entrance you're talking about isn't in the northern desert, is it?"

"Yes, it's not there, but it's about as far as Kunlun." Doctor Lei looked nostalgic. "I went to your world from a secret realm in Kunlun. Everyone there has a treasure like this that can transmit sound over long distances."

As he spoke, Dr. Lei took out the fragment of the cell phone that Lin Fan had brought earlier and handed it to him. "I stayed there for ten years. It was a really good place. I learned many medical skills there that I had never imagined. If I hadn't missed my wife so much, I really wouldn't have wanted to come back."

Lin Fan barely listened to the latter half of the story; his mind was preoccupied with the fact that the entrance he mentioned was in Kunlun. Lin Fan didn't understand the geography of this world, but it must be a very distant place. No wonder Doctor Lei wanted to find an entrance here.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan didn't know either. "I don't know where I came from either. So, now that you're back, why do you want to go back?"

Dr. Lei's face was bitter. "Some things happened. My wife died, and I have no more ties here. Lin Fan, don't you think this world is too bitter? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back, I want to go to your world."

Lin Fan completely agreed with this statement, which made him find the doctor in front of him much more agreeable and lowered his guard a bit. "I also want to go back."

"Okay, that's good, that's good. Let's help each other out and get through this together, shall we?"

Lin Fan nodded. "I arrived in Bailin Village as soon as I got here. If there's an entrance, it should be nearby."

Dr. Lei said excitedly, "Okay, I'll have someone search the nearby mountains and forests tomorrow to see if there's anything that looks like an entrance."

The two then talked a lot about modern society. Lin Fan was trying to confirm whether he had really been to the modern world, and listening to people talk about things in the modern world made him feel incredibly nostalgic and sentimental.

"Brother Xiaofan, where did you go? I was so worried about you! I thought... Waaah..."

After finding Lin Fan, Lin Yue'er threw herself into his arms and cried, insisting on watching him until he fell asleep before leaving.

the next day.

Doctor Lei clearly had a lot of savings. He hired all the able-bodied men in the village, ostensibly to search for medicinal herbs in the mountains, but he instructed them to report anything strange they saw, promising them a reward.

Dr. Lei spent his days directing villagers to search for the "miracle drug" and his nights caring for patients, working tirelessly for several days. He returned home to his courtyard house, which also served as his clinic, carrying a stack of maps.

He strode open the door and saw Lin Yue'er feeding Lin Fan medicine spoonful by spoonful. "Brother, you're having such a leisurely time. I've been busy to death these past few days."

After Lin Fan finished drinking the medicine, Lin Yue'er picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, smiling as she looked at Lin Fan, seemingly unaware of Doctor Lei at all.

Having lost Lin Yue'er once, she cherishes her current situation all the more.

Lin Fan straightened up. "Doctor, you can't expect a patient like me to search the mountains, can you?"

Dr. Lei frowned slightly. "Who do you think you are? Don't pretend with me. I'm your attending physician. Your body seems to have been strengthened by something. Your recovery ability is amazing. You've been strong for a long time. My dear, you've been fooled by him. His act of being unable to take care of himself was all an act."

Lin Yue'er's face turned slightly red, because it was none other than herself who had insisted that Lin Fan's health was not yet fully recovered and that she should take care of him. Now she felt as if she had been exposed.

Seeing her like this, Doctor Lei twitched his lips. Love-struck people can't be judged by common sense. He brought the topic back to the main point, "My dear brother, I don't need you to search the mountains. It's just that there's a more troublesome matter to investigate right now. I think the way you 'earned' so much silver from Baishi County must be extraordinary."

Lin Fan has been quite relaxed lately, as there's nothing he's in a rush to do. Most of the things that had been weighing on his mind for a while have faded away.

He did want to go home, but he wasn't in a hurry. He was indeed wanted by the police, but he wasn't in a rush either; there was no point in rushing.

Lin Fan got up, stood up and stretched. "Dr. Lei, please speak. As long as it's about finding the entrance, we're always on the same page."

Dr. Lei nodded, "We can let the villagers look for other places."

He spread out a map covered with crosses. "I estimate that within three days, there won't be any suspicious places nearby. There are just two people who might know the situation, but they'll be difficult to deal with."

Dr. Lei wrote the characters "Lin" and "Niu" on the map. The character "Lin" was in a large mansion. "One of them is the wealthy Lin. His mansion and some properties are off-limits. There might be an entrance to a secret realm inside."

This is quite possible. As a local gentry, Lin the wealthy man may have monopolized some valuable supernatural resources, but they may not necessarily be related to Lin Fan.

Dr. Lei then pointed to the character for "ox" in the mountains, "And then there's this hunter, Niu Dadan. He's nothing special, except he's the person most familiar with the surrounding mountains, but he refused to help us search. He might have some unspeakable secret hidden in the mountains. Brother, which one do you want to help investigate?"

Lin Fan frowned. How should he investigate this? Should he just ask the person directly? He had no clue, so he could only let Doctor Lei arrange it as he saw fit.

"Well then, I've accepted an invitation from the Lin family tonight to examine the Third Concubine. You should go and check on Niu Dadan's movements, my dear brother."

Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise before he could finish listening, "Third Concubine? And him? Who is he?"

Dr. Lei found Lin Fan's expression amusing. "It's not what you think, my dear brother. Although everyone knows about Lin the Rich Man's quirks, it's not something he can openly admit. He still has three ordinary concubines as a facade, all of them women."

Lin Yue'er looked at them blankly. What are you talking about? Shouldn't a concubine be a woman?

Lin Fan pretended that he wasn't discussing this kind of topic, "Okay, but I'm not good at following or eavesdropping, so how am I supposed to find out about Niu Dadan? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just ask him directly?"

Doctor Lei's face lit up with pride. "Brother, don't worry, I have something that will come in handy."

As he spoke, he pulled something out of his pocket.

It's described as a thing because it's transparent, making it impossible to see exactly what it is.

"This is made from the skin of a type of Gu worm that swims in the air in southern Xinjiang. I call it the Invisibility Cloth."

Lin Fan pulled over the invisibility cloth and put his hand inside. Sure enough, the cloth was still transparent, and his hand seemed to have disappeared.
