The grandparents of Yunxiao lived at the foot of the mountain near Mount Yingchou. There were only a dozen families here, and they were all famous hunters in the town. However, when it came to fame, the desperate old man Yun Jin was definitely an existence that no hunter could match.
More than ten years ago, Yun Jin appeared in Hongluan Town to make a living by hunting, and soon became famous in Hongluan Town. Several major families in Hongluan Town have basically cooperated with him, and Yun Jin has lived up to expectations. Any family that has cooperated with him can make a lot of money.
As for Yunxiao, it is said that Yun Jin picked up the abandoned baby while hunting in Mount Eagle Sorrow. Yun Jin was alone and raised Yunxiao as his grandson, teaching him a lot of treasure hunting skills.
Unfortunately, Yun Xiao seemed to be born with a stubborn illness. In more than ten years, he had not even managed to cultivate a trace of true qi. To outsiders, Yun Jin's adoption of Yun Xiao was simply a burden for him...
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Gently pushing open the wood door of the small courtyard, Yunxiao threw the package on his back on the stone table in the courtyard, poured a glass of water dejectedly, and drank it suddenly, as if he wanted to drink all the gloom.
"Squeak!"
The door was gently opened, and an old man slowly walked out.
"What's wrong? I heard your heavy footsteps all the way, is the hunting not going well?"
This was an old man who looked fifty or sixty years old. The old man's face was ruddy, his white clothes were clean, and his whole body was exuded with a detached temperament. If someone who didn't know the old man saw him, they would never associate him with a hunter.
There was a hint of a smile on Yun Jin's face, and a pair of eagle-like star eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, including Yun Xiao's heart.
"It's just a little snake, how could it not go well?"
Pouting his lips, Yunxiao poured himself a glass of water again, and drank it all at once, but found that no matter how much water he drank, his heart was still hot.
"Grandpa, when will you let me cultivate? My body is already countless times stronger than ordinary people, is it not enough now?"
Putting down the cup, Yunxiao stared at his grandfather with a burning gaze, asking this question that he had asked many times.
There had always been rumors in the outside world that he was born weak and sickly, and he had to soak in the medicine bucket all day to prolong his life, but only he knew that the truth was not like this at all.
It was not because he was weak and sickly, but because Old Master Yun Jin wanted to temper his body and didn't let him cultivate at all.
Ordinary children basically started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, and when he was ten, he followed his grandfather everywhere to hunt for treasures. The old man taught him a lot of practical life fighting skills, but he was not allowed to practice martial arts, so until today, he still did not have a trace of true qi.
However, although he did not have Essential Qi in his body, bathing in the medicine bucket since he was a child had made his body incomparably strong. According to Old Master Yun Jin, even if he did not have Essential Qi in his body, his current strength would not be worse than that of a martial artist at the fourth or fifth level of Essential Qi Realm.
"Hehe, counting the time, it seems that your sixteen-year-old birthday is coming soon, right?"
Yun Jin did not directly answer Yunxiao's words. He sat down on the stone stool, and his gaze suddenly became a little dazed, "More than ten years ago, I carried you back from Mount Eagle Sorrow.
Back then, he was attracted by the cries of the baby in Mount Eagle Sorrow, and finally discovered the swaddling cloud. If it wasn't for his timely discovery, the other party would have been buried in the mouth of the beast long ago.
"Grandpa..."
Cloudsky's expression was slightly serious, and he suddenly had a different feeling in his heart.
He was a smart person, and it was not a problem to observe the words and expressions. Today's Yun Jin was obviously different from usual. In addition, this was the first time the other party had talked about his life experience.
Although he had known for a long time that he was not Yun Jin's biological grandson, the other party had never told him about this in person. At this moment, when he heard the other party mention this, it was obvious that he had a deep meaning.
"Boy Xiao, are you ready?"
Yun Jin's face suddenly turned serious, his eyes became very sharp, and he asked a question without beginning or end.
"Hm?"
His figure trembled, and Yunxiao suddenly became a little excited. He was too familiar with his grandfather. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, he knew what the other party was saying!
"Grandpa, I've already prepared!"
He dreamed of becoming a martial artist. Every day, he waited for the other party's words. At this moment, he finally waited.
"If that's the case, then come with me!"
Yun Jin didn't say much. He got up and walked to the room first, while Yun Xiao hurriedly followed.
The two of them entered the room, and Yun Jin's expression became deeper, even solemn. Obviously, what was going to happen next must be very important to him.
"Go to the bed and sit cross-legged."
His tone was very serious. While commanding Yunxiao, he reached into his arms and took out a square box of unknown material. The square box was in his hand, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little nostalgic.
Yunxiao didn't know what his grandfather was going to do, but since it involved his own cultivation, he just obediently followed.
By the time Yunxiao sat cross-legged, Yun Jin had already held the square box in his hand, gently stroking it while recalling all kinds of things from the beginning.
He didn't know how many people had lost their lives because of the contents of the box. He was also seriously injured because of this thing. Even after more than ten years of cultivation, he still couldn't fully recover from his injuries.
"Master, this pill has been integrated into your life's hard work. Today, I want it to see the light of day again!"
His gaze narrowed, and he suddenly opened the square box. Immediately, a multicolored pill appeared in front of the two of them.
This was a pill the size of a pigeon's egg. The pill's entire body was colorful. When the square box was opened, fog surrounded the pill.
"This..."
He had never seen such a miraculous scene before. In his eyes, whether it was the pill in the box or the beast shadow above the pill, these were all magical things.
"Go!!"
Yun Jin seemed to have expected that Yun Xiao would have such an expression. The moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly raised his hand, and immediately, the pill in the square box flew directly into Yun Xiao's mouth, and instantly dissolved.
This pill was a real divine object. It melted in his mouth. When Yunxiao returned to his senses, the entire pill had already disappeared.
"Oh!!"
Yun Xiao's expression suddenly became extremely painful. He only felt something enter his mouth, and then his whole body began to swell and ache, and even his head instantly became extremely heavy.
"Grandpa..."
The sudden change made Yunxiao terrified, looking at his grandfather with a look of horror and confusion.
"Little brat Xiao, the time ahead will be very painful, but as long as you can persevere, you will become an incomparably powerful martial artist. Remember, you must stay awake!"
Yun Jin deliberately added stress to the word martial artist, and even modified it, because he knew what an incomparably powerful martial artist identity meant to Yunxiao!
"Become an incomparably powerful martial artist?"
Sure enough, when he heard Yun Jin's words, Yun Xiao trembled all over, and his painful expression suddenly dissipated, as if he was hyped up.
Becoming a martial artist was his wish all along. If he could become a martial artist, he was willing to endure any pain for it.
Yun Jin never lied to him. Since the other party said so, the only thing he needed to do was to follow the other party's instructions. The old man kept him awake, so even if he died, he must keep his eyes open.
"Chi Chi Chi!!"
As he spoke, Yunxiao felt as if something suddenly appeared in his body. These things scurried around in his body. In an instant, the original pain turned into a tingling pain, as if a silver needle was pierced in the tip of his heart.
"Ah!!"
The intense pain made him almost faint, but he suddenly thought of what Yun Jin said, he must stay awake!
"I want to become a martial artist, I want to become an incomparably powerful martial artist!!"
The pain was worsening, and it was just a breath. He felt as if something exploded in his body. In an instant, countless ants seemed to be gnawing on him, and every cell was transmitting pain to him.
At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, and he could not see his condition. Otherwise, he would see that all the muscles in his body seemed to have come to life, constantly squirming, and even his bones were expanding and contracting, expanding and shrinking at the same time.
"Boy Xiao, hold on!"
Yun Jin's face was already filled with anxiety, but unfortunately, this process could only be experienced by Yun Xiao himself, and others could not help at all.
But just as he said, once Yunxiao survives, then in the future, he will definitely become an existence that countless people look up to.
"I want to become a martial artist, I want to protect Miss Yue'er, and I want to find my parents and ask them why they abandoned me..."
The boundless pain made Yunxiao feel as if he had fallen into purgatory. The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was really like countless evil ghosts tearing him apart. If it wasn't for the obsession of becoming a martial artist supporting him, he would have passed out long ago.
"Crunch!!"
Strange sounds kept coming from his body, and five colors kept changing on his body. Layers of black oil were squeezed out of his body and evaporated by waves of heat.
"I want to become a powerful martial artist. I want to find my parents and ask them why they abandoned me..."
The pain of Purgatory initialized his nerves. He only felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, but when he thought of becoming a powerful martial artist, he would be able to find his parents.
It seemed that after hundreds of millions of years, finally, the five colors of light slowly stopped in his lower abdomen, and his muscles and bones no longer squirmed. On his forehead, a cloud of vague white light loomed, and the pain that was like a heart was slowly easing.
"Little guy, congratulations."
Just as the intense pain slowly eased, Yunxiao only felt a flash of white light in front of him, and then he appeared in a vast white space. In front of him, an old man in white stood with his hands behind his back and was looking at him with a smile on his face.
