The two of them lived near the foot of the Yingchou Mountain. There were only a dozen families here, and they were relatively famous hunters in the town. But in terms of fame, no hunter could catch up with them.
More than ten years ago, Yun Jin appeared in Hongluan Town to hunt for a living. Very quickly, he gained quite a reputation in Hongluan Town. The few large families in Hongluan Town had basically cooperated with him, and Yun Jin did not disappoint the public. Any family that had cooperated with him could make a lot of money.
As for Yun Yun, it was said that Yun Jin picked up the abandoned baby when he was hunting in the Yingchou Mountain. Yun Jin raised Yun Yun as if he were his grandson and taught him a lot of skills in hunting and hunting.
Unfortunately, Yunxiao seemed to be born with a stubborn illness. For more than a decade, he had not even mastered a bit of True Qi. In the eyes of outsiders, Yunchen's adopted Yunxiao was simply a burden to him...
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Yunxiao gently pushed open the firewood in the small courtyard, threw the parcel on his back on the stone table in the yard, poured a glass of water, and suddenly drank it up, as if he wanted to drink all the gloom.
"Creak!"
The door was gently opened, and an old man slowly walked out.
"What's wrong? I heard your heavy footsteps from far away. Is the hunt not going well?"
This was an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. The old man's face was ruddy, and his white clothes were clean. He had an extraordinary temperament. If someone didn't know the old man saw him, he would never connect him with a hunter.
There was a smile on Yun Jin's face, and his eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, including Yun Yun's heart.
"It's just a small snake. How can it not go smoothly?"
Yunxiao curled his lips and poured himself another glass of water. He also drank it up, but found that no matter how much he drank, his heart was still hot.
"Grandpa, when can you let me cultivate? My body is countless times stronger than ordinary people's. Can't I do it now?"
Putting down the cup, Yun Xiao stared at his grandfather with burning eyes and asked this question that he did not know how many times he had asked.
There had always been rumors in the outside world that Yunxiao was born weak and sick, and he had to stay in the medicine barrel to prolong his life every day. But only he knew that the truth was not like this at all.
He had been soaking in the medicine barrel since he was a child, not because he was weak and sick, but because Old Master Yun Jin wanted to temper his body and did not allow him to cultivate at all.
Ordinary children basically began to practice martial arts from the age of ten. When he was ten, he followed his grandfather to hunt everywhere. The old man taught him a lot of practical life-and-death skills, but he was not allowed to learn martial arts. So far, he still had no True Qi.
However, although he didn't possess true qi, he had taken a bath in a medicine barrel since he was young, causing his body to be incomparably strong. According to what Old Master Yun Jin had said, even if he didn't possess true qi, his current strength wouldn't be any weaker than a martial practitioner at the fourth or fourth level of true qi.
"Haha, it seems that your 16th birthday is coming soon, isn't it?"
Yun Jin did not answer Yunxiao's question directly. He sat down on the stone bench, and his eyes suddenly became a little absent-minded. "More than ten years ago, I brought you back from the Yingchou Mountain. By now, you have grown up."
At that time, he was attracted by the baby's crying in the Yingchou Mountain and finally found the clouds in Taowu. If he hadn't found it in time, he would have been buried in the mouth of the beast.
"Grandpa..."
Yunxiao's face became slightly serious, and he suddenly had a different feeling in his heart.
He was a smart man, and it was not a big deal to observe people's expressions. Yun Jin was obviously different from his usual self. Besides, this was the first time he had talked about his background.
Although he knew long ago that he was not Yun Jin's grandson, the other party had never personally told him about this. At this moment, when he heard the other party talk about this, it was obvious that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"Boy Xiao, are you ready?"
Yun Jin's face suddenly turned serious, and his eyes became very sharp. He asked a question that had no end.
"Hmm?"
Yun Xiao's body trembled, and he suddenly became a little excited. He was too familiar with his grandfather. Although the other party did not say it clearly, he knew what the other party was talking about!
"Grandpa, I've already prepared it!"
In his dreams, he wanted to become a martial artist. Every day, he was waiting for the other party's words. At this moment, he finally waited. His previous gloomy mood was suddenly thrown out of his mind.
"In that case, come with me!"
Yun Jin didn't say much. He got up first and walked to the room, followed by Yunxiao.
When the grandfather and granddaughter entered the room, Yun Jin's expression became more and more solemn. Obviously, what was going to happen next would 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 made of unknown materials. Holding the box in his hand, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to miss it.
Yun Xiao didn't know what his grandfather was going to do, but since it involved his cultivation, he would do as he was told.
By the time Yun Yun sat down cross-legged, he was already holding the box in his hand. He was gently caressing it as he recalled everything that had happened back then.
Countless people had lost their lives because of the item in the box. Back then, he had been seriously injured because of it. Even after a dozen years of recuperation, his injuries had yet to fully recover.
"Master, this pill has been infused with your life's blood. Today, I will let it see the light of day again!"
His eyes focused as he suddenly opened the box. Immediately, a five-colored pill appeared in front of the grandfather and grandson duo.
It was a pigeon egg-sized pill. It was colorful. When the box was opened, the top of the pill was suddenly shrouded in mist. In the faint mist, there seemed to be beast shadows shuttling through it, which was very magical.
"This..."
Yunxiao's mouth suddenly opened wide. He was really shocked by the scene in front of him. He had never seen such a magical scene. In his eyes, whether it was the Pill Pill in the box or the beast shadow above the Pill Pill, these were all amazing things.
"Go!!"
Yun Jin seemed to have expected Yun Xiao to have such an expression. The moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly raised his hand. Immediately, the pill in the box flew directly into Yun Xiao's mouth and dissolved instantly.
This elixir was a real divine object. It melted as soon as it entered Yun Xiao's mouth. When he came to his senses, the whole elixir had disappeared.
"Oh!!"
Yun Xiao's face suddenly became extremely painful. He only felt that something had entered his mouth. Then, his whole body began to swell and hurt, and even his head became extremely heavy in an instant.
"Grandpa..."
The sudden change made Yun Xiao frightened. He looked at his grandfather in horror and confusion.
"Little boy Xiao, the rest of the time will be very painful, but as long as you can hold on, you will become an extremely powerful martial artist. Remember, you must stay awake!"
Yun Jin deliberately stressed the word "Warrior" and even made up for it. Because he knew what it meant for Yun Xiao to be an incomparably powerful martial artist!
"To become an incomparably powerful martial artist?"
Sure enough, hearing Yun Jin's words, Yunxiao's whole body trembled, and his painful expression suddenly dissipated, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Becoming a martial artist had always been his wish. If he could become a martial artist, he was willing to suffer any pain for it.
Yun Jin had never lied to him. Since the other party had said so, the only thing he had to do was to follow the other party's instructions. The old man told him to stay awake, so he must open his eyes even if he had to die.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
While he was talking, Yun Xiao felt that something seemed to suddenly appear in his body. These things were running around his body. In an instant, the original swelling pain turned into a sharp pain, as if silver needles were stuck in his heart.
"Ah!!"
The severe pain almost made him faint, but he suddenly remembered what Yun Jin had said. He had to stay awake!
"I want to become a martial artist! I want to become an incomparably powerful martial artist!!"
The pain was getting worse. In just a few seconds, he felt as if something had exploded in his body. In an instant, there seemed to be countless ants biting him in his body, and every cell was sending him pain.
At this time, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't see his own situation. Otherwise, he would see that all the muscles in his body seemed to come alive. They were constantly wriggling, and even his bones were expanding and shrinking.
"Boy Xiao, hold on!"
Yun Jin's face was already full of anxiety, but unfortunately, this process could only be experienced by Yunxiao himself. No one could help him at all.
But as he said, once the clouds passed through, he would inevitably become an existence that countless people looked up to in the future.
"I want to become a martial artist. I want to protect Miss Yue'er. I also want to find my parents and ask them why they abandoned me..."
The endless pain made Yun Xiao feel like he was in a purgatory. The pain that went deep into his bone marrow was really like countless evil ghosts tearing at him. If it weren't for the obsession of becoming a warrior supporting him, he would have fainted long ago.
"Creak creak creak!"
A strange sound kept coming from his body. The five colors kept changing on his body. Layers of black oil were squeezed out of his body and evaporated by the heat waves.
"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 washed his nerves. He only felt that his consciousness was getting more and more blurry. But when he thought that he could only find his parents after becoming a powerful warrior, no matter how painful it was, he had to hold on.
It seemed that after hundreds of millions of years, finally, five colors of light slowly stopped at his lower abdomen, and his muscles and bones no longer squirmed. On his forehead, a faint white light was looming, and the sharp pain was also slowly reduced.
"Little guy, congratulations."
Just as the intense pain slowly subsided, Yun Xiao felt a white light flashing in front of him. Then, he appeared in a white space. In front of him, an old man in white stood with his hands behind his back and looked at him with a smile.
