The Pain Could Kill Him!
Ye Jing was slightly taken aback, looking at the little boy with some amusement.
"It's not that I can't take on apprentices, but the testing process will be extremely difficult. Have you really thought it through?"
Ye Jing values character highly, believing that a cultivator's character is far more important than their talent!
Even if a cultivator with a strong will is not talented, he will not be much stronger than a cultivator of the same realm!
He has many ways to improve his talent, but his temperament is very difficult to change.
"Yes, I've thought it through. No matter how hard it is, I can accept it!" the little boy said without hesitation.
"Don't rush to answer. Now hurry back and pack your things. I'll give you ten minutes. If you're not back by then, I'll leave!"
"Even if you arrive within ten minutes, I'll only take you to the trial. If you fail, I'll send you back here!"
Ye Jing slowly shook his head.
"Ten minutes? How is that possible!" Qian Jiahe exclaimed. The distance from the village to here is at least fifteen minutes for an average adult to run at full speed, and that's one way, not to mention a round trip!
"Okay, wait for me!" The little boy readily agreed and ran out without saying another word.
Ye Jing looked at the little boy's thin back and a smile appeared on his lips.
He knew this little guy wouldn't give up easily; he dared to block all the able-bodied men in the village by himself, and even pretended to be weak to fool adult men several times his size.
How could someone be the kind of person who would say "impossible"?
In his eyes, there is only fighting!
With one minute left in the ten-minute time limit.
There was still no sign of the little boy.
"Immortal Master, there's no need to wait any longer. This place is far from the village. Given his speed, he's probably still on his way back." Qian Jia said slowly from the side.
"No, I believe him!" Ye Jing smiled; of course, he wouldn't pose such an impossible problem.
"Da da!" "Da da!"
The sound of rapid footsteps rang out. On the way to the cliff, a figure covered in wounds, carrying an old cloth bag, was running quickly toward them!
"How is that possible!"
Qian Jiahe's mouth gaped open. How could this guy be?
It only took less than ten minutes to make the round trip!
Ye Jing looked at the boy's injuries and a smile appeared on his lips.
Really.
The reason it takes so long to get there and back is because the cliff is located at a high altitude, and a detour is necessary to safely reach the foot of the cliff.
However, you can simply avoid taking the safe route!
There are uneven Shi Tuo on the side of the cliff; you can jump down step by step, which can save a lot of time.
"He jumped off the side of the cliff and then climbed back up. This fearless guy, how dare he do that?" Qian Jiahe exclaimed, having finally figured out the reason.
I was absolutely amazed by this little guy!
"I... I've made it!"
The little boy finally ran up to Ye Jing, his face covered in blood, panting heavily.
Ye Jing looked at the little boy's right foot; it was already broken.
This little guy has amazing willpower!
Ye Jing narrowed his eyes slightly; he was very satisfied!
Ye Jing's eyes gleamed with admiration as he said softly, "Not bad, you've passed the first test."
The little boy, panting heavily, looked up at Ye Jing with a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he were completely unharmed. "Immortal Master, bring on whatever trials you have to offer!"
Ye Jing smiled faintly, reached into his sleeve and took out a pill that shimmered with a faint light, handing it to the little boy. "This is a specially made Marrow Cleansing Pill. After taking it, your meridians and bones will undergo a cleansing, and the pain will be extraordinary. If you can endure this pain, you will have passed the second trial."
This Marrow Cleansing Pill was specially developed by him, and its effects are much higher than those of ordinary Marrow Cleansing Pill.
He saw the boy's talent; he wasn't like the protagonists in novels.
On the contrary, they are quite ordinary, and they have to work very hard to enter the Qi Refining Stage.
A typical Marrow Cleansing Pill can at most raise a young boy's potential to the Innate Realm.
However, his Marrow Cleansing Pill can help the little boy break through to the Heaven and Earth God Realm!
However, the cost is also extremely high.
The worse one's aptitude, the more intense the pain inflicted by this Marrow Cleansing Pill!
It could even cause excruciating pain that kills you!
The little boy took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it without hesitation.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a sharp pain swept through his entire body, as if a thousand needles were piercing his meridians and bones. He was in so much pain that his face turned pale, and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, but he clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound.
However, the suffering was far from over.
The pain seems to have worsened!
The little boy's body trembled violently, as if being torn apart by an invisible force. His fortitude and determination had vanished, leaving only endless pain and despair.
His eyes were tightly closed, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably!
Qian Jiahe watched in horror. Such pain would be unbearable even for an adult, let alone a six or seven-year-old child.
He couldn't help but look at the little boy with new respect; this kid was truly remarkable!
As time passed, the little boy's pain intensified.
"Ahhh..." "Ahhh..."
The little boy's pitiful cries echoed continuously from the cliff.
His face was deathly pale and contorted in pain, his lips trembling with agony, his teeth clenched tightly, as if he were enduring the cruelest torture imaginable.
His body trembled incessantly, each tremor feeling like a blow from an invisible force, almost causing him to lose consciousness.
However, just as he was about to fall into a coma, an even more intense pain would pull him back to reality.
Even their screams began to become hoarse.
But the little boy never gave up, and never said no!
It was as if an invisible force was supporting him.
Finally, as the sun began to set, about half an hour had passed.
The boy's pain gradually subsided, but he had lost consciousness and passed out.
He was completely soaked in sweat.
But he pulled through!
Ye Jing looked at the faint glow emanating from the little boy's body.
That's a sign that the medicine has been fully absorbed.
This little guy has exceeded his expectations again.
He had initially thought the little boy wouldn't be able to keep going.
To be honest, if it were him, he really might not have been able to persevere.
That kind of pain is definitely not something an ordinary person can endure.
"Immortal Master, him?" Qian Jiahe asked with some concern, looking at the little boy on the ground.
"It's alright, he's not in any danger. He's passed half of my test. You can go back now. I'm taking him with me!" Ye Jing shook his head, and a gentle light shone on the little boy.
The little boy's pale face regained much of its color!
"That's great, poor child!" Qian Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was an ordinary person, he could still see the changes in the little boy.
Putting everything else aside, the little boy's injuries had all completely healed!
