A glint of immortal light flashed through Chen Xun's eyes.
In an instant, he saw through everything about Di Yang.
Di Yang had indeed crawled up from underground, but he was not among the first batch of beings to emerge from below. Those first underground beings had long since been devoured by the vicious spirits of the Immortal Realm, his parents included.
Yet Di Yang had been exceptionally bold. He had still crawled out from underground and even found Giant Spirit City. That bundle was what he had brought back for his clansmen.
An hour later.
Di Yang did not dare venture deep into Giant Spirit City. He knew that when giants walked, they never looked at the beings beneath their feet. It was all too easy to be trampled to death.
"Shopkeeper, thank you." Seeing the bulging beast-hide bundle, a faint light appeared in Di Yang's eyes. He hurriedly jogged out of the city, intending to return underground before the long night arrived.
Chen Xun raised his eyes to glance at the receding figure, a smile on his lips.
No matter what they looked like or what their cultivation realm was, he had never looked down on beings who struggled to live. They were all brave souls.
In the days that followed.
Di Yang also joined the spiritual medicine shop. He stood on a chair with little Mu Feng, brewing spiritual medicine. Mu Feng loved making all sorts of friends; this had been obvious even back in the Five Aggregates Sect.
The murkiness and numbness in Di Yang's mind gradually brightened beneath the radiance of lively, positive Mu Feng. He worked especially hard for Shopkeeper Chen Xun.
Naturally, he was paid. Before the long night descended, he could dig up some immortal soil from beneath the Crane Spirit Trees
