Yang Xi's body stood upright lightly.
The pain left by the knee hitting the ground has long since disappeared.
Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of lightness, as if half of the heavy shackles in my body had been removed.
She stared blankly at Ye Fan, the man she had just worshiped as her disciple.
Then, she saw a scene that she would never forget.
Ye Fan just waved his hand casually.
The fruit mountain, which was made up of the legendary holy fruits, with a brilliant glow and a fragrance that could make people fascinated, just disappeared out of thin air.
It was as abrupt and unreasonable as when it appeared.
As if it was just a gorgeous fantasy.
But the strange fragrance that remained in the air, which was still so strong that it couldn't be dissolved, and the real changes that had taken place in his body, were all telling Yang Xi.
That's not a dream.
"Let's go, take me back to your house." Ye Fan's words were very calm, breaking the dead silence.
"... Yes, Master." Yang Xi recovered from the extreme shock, lowered his head, and responded respectfully.
She no longer dared to have the slightest suspicion or vigilance.
In front of this man, her pitiful caution was as fragile as a piece of paper.
Yang Xi led the way, his small figure shuttled through the complicated lanes.
This is the most barren corner of the city, with dirty water, rotting garbage, and numb and desperate faces everywhere, making up everything here.
Yang Xi I'm used to it.
She lowered her head and tried to make herself inconspicuous. This was a survival instinct she had developed over the years.
Soon, she stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house that was almost falling apart.
This is her home.
Before she could push the door open, the already shaky wooden door was violently opened from the inside.
An old woman with gray hair and a stooped figure rushed out, her face full of anxiety and panic.
"Little Xi! Where have you gone! Do you know that grandma is worried to death!"
The old woman grabbed Yang Xi's arm and checked her up and down, fearing that she was missing a hair.
It is Yang Xi's grandmother.
After confirming that her granddaughter was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed Ye Fan standing aside.
The old woman's body tensed up instantly, and without even thinking, she held Yang Xi tightly behind her, staring at Ye Fan with a pair of cloudy but sharp eyes.
"Who are you?!"
"What do you want to do to my granddaughter!"
Her voice was not loud, but it conveyed a determination that she was willing to risk her life for.
Yang Xi's heart suddenly clenched.
"Grandma, no! Don't be afraid! He..."
She was eager to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start.
Do you want to tell grandma that this god-like figure has accepted a loser like yourself as his apprentice?
Do you still want to take yourself to practice?
After saying this, grandma would probably just think that she had been fooled.
"I am your granddaughter's master." Ye Fan took the initiative to break the deadlock.
His words stunned the old woman for a moment.
Master?
She looked at Ye Fan suspiciously, and then at her thin granddaughter behind her.
A well-dressed and distinguished-looking man.
A poor girl dressed in rags and treated as trash by everyone.
How could these two people have a "master-disciple" relationship?
The old woman had lived her entire life without seeing anyone. She immediately classified Ye Fan as the kind of liar with evil intentions.
"I don't care who you are! Our family Little Xi is not lucky enough to have any kind of master, so please leave!"
The old woman gave the eviction order and protected Yang Xi's arm without relaxing at all.
"Grandma!" Yang Xi was anxious.
She finally grasped this life-saving straw, how could she let grandma drive him away!
"Little Xi, don't talk! Grandma knows that you are simple and easy to be deceived! How can there be such a good thing in this world!" The old woman lowered her voice and said to her granddaughter eagerly.
In her opinion, this must be a trap set by a liar!
However, Yang Xi almost laughed out of anger. What could the master do to him?
Do you care about their poor family with only four walls? Or do you care about her useless body that cannot be cultivated?
Looking at the appearance of the grandfather and grandson, Ye Fan was not angry.
In his eyes, the vigilance of ordinary people is just the struggle of ants, which is ridiculous, but also pitiful.
He didn't explain any more.
Any words pale in comparison to deep-rooted ideas.
He just stretched out his hand, palm up.
An elixir that was green in color and exuded vitality appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The moment the elixir appeared, a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
Just one sip of it, the old woman felt that her aching lower back, which had been strained for many years, was relieved a lot.
She looked at the elixir in shock, her mouth opened slightly, and she was speechless.
"Old man, you have been losing energy and blood all year round and have become ill from overwork. This 'Rejuvenation Pill' can extend your life for twenty years and eradicate hidden diseases."
Ye Fan's words were very calm, but they carried a persuasiveness that was irrefutable.
"This is a greeting, not a sign of respect."
Extend your life by twenty years! Eradicate hidden diseases!
The old woman was stunned by these words.
What a miracle medicine this is!
She is not ignorant. Just by smelling the fragrance, she knows that this elixir is absolutely priceless!
But...
Why give it to her?
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
The idea came up stubbornly again.
"I... we can't have it!" The old woman refused with difficulty, but her eyes were glued to the pill and she couldn't move away at all.
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that after she dies, Little Xi will be alone and unable to survive.
If I could live twenty more years... I could protect Little Xi when he grows up.
This temptation is too great.
"Grandma!" Yang Xi saw grandma's struggle. She got out from behind grandma, plopped, and knelt down in front of Ye Fan again.
"Please Master, please save grandma!"
She kowtowed heavily.
This kneeling made the old woman completely confused.
She looked at her granddaughter, then at the mysterious man, her mind was in a mess.
Ye Fan did not help Yang Xi, but brought the Rejuvenation Pill to the old woman's lips with a gentle force.
"Eat it."
The elixir was hanging on the side of her mouth, and the breath of life continued to penetrate into her body.
The old woman struggled violently.
Reason told her not to eat, but her body's desire and worries about her granddaughter's future were screaming like crazy.
Just then, she saw her granddaughter's eyes.
Those eyes no longer had the numbness and darkness of the past, but were replaced by a light as bright as stars that she had never seen before.
That's hope.
Why not take a gamble for this beam of light?
The old woman gritted her teeth, her heart pounded, she opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
The elixir melts in your mouth and turns into a warm torrent that sweeps through your body instantly!
Boom!
The old woman felt as if countless little suns were exploding in her body!
The old illnesses that had been entrenched in her body for many years were melted and dispelled in front of this warm and domineering force!
Her stooped back straightened little by little with a soft "click" sound.
The silver hair on his head started to turn black from the roots at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The wrinkles on his face were also smoothed by an invisible force, and the originally sallow skin regained its healthy rosiness.
It only takes a few breaths.
An old and dying old woman turned into a vigorous middle-aged woman who looked no more than fifty years old!
"This... this..."
The old woman raised her hands in disbelief.
That is a pair of hands that are no longer dry and thin, but become strong again!
She felt that her body was full of unprecedented power!
Miracle!
No! It's a miracle!
She turned her head suddenly and looked at Ye Fan. Her knees softened and she was about to kneel down.
"God! You are a living god!"
Ye Fan still only gave her some support to prevent her from kneeling down.
"Now, can you trust me?"
The old woman was so excited that she was shaking all over. She nodded repeatedly and could not speak completely.
"I believe it! I believe it! I am ignorant of Mount Tai, and I offended the gods. I hope the gods will forgive me!"
She pulled over Yang Xi who was also stunned.
"Little Xi, hurry! Kowtow to Master! No, kowtow to Master!"
In her opinion, anyone who can come up with this magical medicine and accept her granddaughter as a disciple is not an exaggeration to call him "Master"!
Yang Xi looked at his grandma blankly.
The grandmother who always coughed, always had back pain, and struggled to walk in her memory was now standing in front of her in such high spirits.
Tears, no longer able to hold back, burst out of my eyes.
She didn't say anything, she just kowtowed three times to Ye Fan.
This time, I was sincerely convinced and burst into tears of gratitude.
"Get up." Ye Fan's voice sounded.
Yang Xi stood up and wiped his tears with a bright smile on his face.
Ye Fan's voice was very calm, but it made Yang Xi and her grandma's hearts fall back to reality.
"Little Xi, from today on, you will practice here." Ye Fan looked around at this shabby house with bare walls and even the roof was leaking.
The old woman suddenly looked embarrassed and said hurriedly, "God, this... this place is too shabby, how can I let you stay in such a place! Otherwise, we..."
She wanted to go find a clean place, but she swallowed her words again.
Where can they go?
In the entire city, they only had one kennel that could barely keep out the wind and rain.
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Fan interrupted her and just stamped her foot lightly.
Buzz!
An invisible wave, centered on him, spread instantly and enveloped the entire wooden house.
The next moment, something incredible happened.
The wooden door, which originally creaked and could fall apart at any time, became thick and strong.
The ugly cracks in the walls healed on their own. The holes in the roof were filled with invisible energy.
Even the uneven mud on the ground became as smooth as a mirror, and even had a faint sheen of jade.
The lingering musty and rotten smell in the air was swept away, replaced by the freshness of vegetation.
The entire dilapidated house was completely transformed in just a short moment!
Although it still looks like a dilapidated wooden house from the outside, inside, it has become a solid, clean, and spiritual meditation room!
"This..." The old woman opened her mouth wide and could not say a word.
Re-create the world with a wave of your hand!
This has exceeded all her imagination of "gods"!
Yang Xi was also full of shock. She could clearly feel that the air around her was different.
Just taking a breath made her feel refreshed and her limbs felt extremely comfortable.
Ye Fan ignored the shock of the grandfather and grandson.
He reached out his hand again.
This time, what appeared in his hand was not a pill or a spiritual fruit, but a simple bathtub carved from unknown sapphire.
The bathtub appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in the center of the room.
Then, he flicked his finger.
Wow!
A clear spring emerged out of thin air and poured into the bathtub.
The water is not colorless, but has a milky white color, exuding a strong breath of life. As the water mist transpires, it seems that the sound of dragons and phoenixes can be faintly heard.
"What is this?" Yang Xi's grandmother exclaimed.
Ye Fan did not answer.
He just threw a few more things into the tub.
A herb that is red all over and shaped like a coral.
A strange flower flashing with purple lightning.
There is also a dark, inconspicuous stone.
The moment the red herb entered the water, the entire barrel of milky white liquid immediately boiled and turned into hot red magma!
And as soon as the purple thunder flower entered, countless tiny electric arcs "crackled" in the red magma and moved around!
Finally, the black stone sank to the bottom of the barrel, and all the violent energy was suppressed in an instant, turning into a barrel of strange medicinal liquid as warm as jade, red with purple, and flowing with glow.
After doing all this, Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Yang Xi, who was completely stunned.
"Go in."
Yang Xi was shocked and came back to his senses.
She glanced at the bucket of medicinal liquid, which was definitely not ordinary, and then looked at her tattered clothes that were covered with patches and dirt.
A feeling of inferiority arises spontaneously.
Are you... worthy of using such a good thing?
"Master... I..." She hesitated.
"Go in." Ye Fan's command was devoid of any emotion, but had an irresistible majesty.
Yang Xi dare not say any more.
She glanced at her grandma.
The old woman also reacted at this moment, and quickly pulled Yang Xi to the corner, turned her back, and helped her untie the shabby clothes.
"Little Xi, this is your destiny! What a great destiny! You must listen to Master, understand?" The old woman warned her excitedly while helping her take off her clothes.
"Yeah!" Yang Xi nodded heavily.
Soon, the thin body was exposed to the air.
She is a little shy, but more determined.
Step by step, she walked to the sapphire tub, gritted her teeth, and stepped in.
Tsk!
The moment her toes touched the liquid, a sharp pain suddenly shot up from the soles of her feet!
"Ugh!"
Yang Xi groaned and almost lost his balance.
It wasn't hot or cold, but a severe pain that felt as if billions of steel needles were piercing her flesh and bones at the same time!
Just the tip of your toes, that's all!
If your whole body is soaked in...
She didn't dare to think about it!
However, she has no way out!
Yang Xi bit her lower lip, her little body trembling violently due to the severe pain, but she still sank her whole body into the tub without hesitation!
"Ah--!"
This time, she could no longer hold back and let out a shrill scream!
Boom!
The endless pain was like a flood that burst a dam, instantly drowning all her sanity!
The violent medicinal power turned into countless flame snakes and thunder whips, pouring into her body crazily!
Tear!
Burn!
Beat!
Her meridians were burned and widened by the red power over and over again!
Her bones were broken and reorganized again and again by the purple thunder and lightning!
Her flesh and blood, under the heavy force of the black stone, was repeatedly crushed and compacted!
This is the true marrow cleansing and menstruation cutting!
In the most domineering and arrogant way!
"Little Xi!"
When the old woman heard her granddaughter's heart-rending screams, her heart was broken and she rushed over desperately.
But as soon as she took a step, she was blocked by an invisible wall and could no longer move forward.
"God! Please, save Little Xi! She is dying!" the old woman cried and knelt down towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan didn't even look at her.
All his attention was on Yang Xi in the bathtub.
He looked at the little figure who was writhing and struggling in extreme pain, but still gritting his teeth and not fainting, and spoke calmly.
"If you can't bear this pain, how can you change your destiny?"
His words penetrated the barrier of pain and reached Yang Xi's ears clearly.
Change your destiny!
Yes!
You want to change your destiny!
This little pain is nothing compared to the humiliation, beatings, and despair I suffered in the past years!
When those people step on you like trash, it hurts more than this!
When grandma kneels and kowtows in front of others for a steamed bun, it hurts more than this!
It hurts even more when you are treated like a waste and can't even see a glimmer of hope!
Yang Xi's screams came to an abrupt end.
She no longer struggled or rolled.
She just sat quietly in the liquid, letting the violent force that could melt and break steel rage in her body!
Her little face was twisted in severe pain, and her lips had been bitten to pieces, but her body was as stable as a rock!
I want to become stronger!
I don't want to be bullied anymore!
I don't want grandma to cry for me anymore!
An unprecedented strong will burst out from her thin body!
Time passed by minute by minute.
The color of the liquid in the bathtub is slowly fading.
But Yang Xi's body is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Her shriveled and skinny skin became as crystal clear as jade, exuding precious light.
Her thin limbs began to develop well-proportioned and powerful muscle lines.
Layers of black impurities with a fishy smell were continuously discharged from her pores, and were instantly evaporated by the violent power of the medicine.
Her body is being forged from a piece of ordinary iron into a piece of Divine Metal!
I don't know how long it took.
When the last trace of medicinal power melted into the depths of her bone marrow.
Yang-Xi heard a crisp sound, like glass breaking, inside his body.
Click!
The invisible barrier that had imprisoned her since she was born, preventing her from sensing the aura of heaven and earth, was finally... broken!
Boom!
A majestic suction force burst out from her Dantian!
In the room, no, within a radius of a hundred miles, all the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to have been summoned by the emperor at this moment!
They are crazy!
They turned into torrents of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye, penetrating the roof and walls from all directions, and pouring crazily into Yang Xi's body!
Introduce air into your body!
Moreover, it is not a trace of induction, but a sea-sucking plunder of Whale Swallowing!
Yang Xi's body, at this moment, turned into a bottomless black hole!
The incoming spiritual energy rushed and roared along her tough meridians that had been expanded countless times, and finally merged into Dantian.
Gathering together to form... a small golden lake!
Golden!
Dazzling, supreme gold!
The old woman was so shocked by this miraculous scene that she knelt on the ground and could not move.
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at Yang Xi who was shrouded in bright golden light and looked like a goddess descending into the world. A trace of genuine surprise finally appeared on his face that had always remained calm.
He muttered to himself.
