"Jianchen, you … you … why is your body so tough? Don't tell me it's made of iron?" Little Fatty stared at the mark on Jianchen's shoulder in shock and asked in shock.
Jianchen took out a new set of clothes from his interspatial ring and said with a smile, "It's not made of iron, but it's just a little stronger than a normal person."
Little Fatty looked at Jianchen with a strange gaze and said, "It's not just a little stronger, it's perverted."
Jianchen laughed and did not continue on this topic with Little Fatty. Looking at the unfinished vegetable sprouts in the field, he asked, "Little Fatty, do you need my help?"
"Yes, of course. My father and grandfather went to the corn field. Now, I'm the only one planting the vegetables here. You came at the right time. With one more person working, we can finish planting the vegetables earlier." Little Fatty did not stand on ceremony with Jianchen at all. He grabbed the vegetable sprouts in the field and handed them to Jianchen, saying, "I'll plant here, you plant there. With the two of us working together, we can finish planting the vegetables before dinner."
Jianchen received the vegetables from Little Fatty and said, "Little Fatty, I may have to leave this place soon."
Hearing that, Little Fatty's hands trembled slightly. Then, he continued to plant the vegetables silently. After a while, he finally said with some sadness, "I know that I can't keep you here. You'll have to go to the outside world sooner or later."
Jianchen sighed and said, "Little Fatty, I'll talk to your grandfather tonight and get him to agree to let you go to the outside world. It's not a good idea for you to stay here for the rest of your life. This place is just too small. Plus, with your talent, it's too much of a waste for you to spend the rest of your life here."
"Jianchen, what about the outside world?
What's the outside world like? " Little Fatty stared fixedly at Jianchen. His eyes were filled with yearning. He had grown up in Longevity Village and had rarely left Longevity Valley. He had only heard bits and pieces about the outside world from his father, but he had never seen it before. He did not even know how big the outside world was.
"The outside world is very big, very big. There are many people and many interesting things. At the same time, it is also very cruel and very complicated. Little Fatty, when you really go to the outside world in the future, you will naturally understand." Jianchen sighed.
"But, my grandpa will definitely not allow me to go out." Speaking of this, Little Fatty's expression turned gloomy.
"I'll talk to your grandfather tonight and try to convince him." Apart from persuading Little Fatty's grandfather, Jianchen had no other choice. Uncle Xiu's cultivation was unfathomable, and he was not willing to offend him.
Very soon, the evening arrived. The setting sun was gradually setting in the west, leaving behind a brilliant sunset glow that illuminated the entire sky. In the tranquil Longevity Village, smoke rose in spirals from the chimneys of every household, drifting in the sky.
After working for an entire afternoon, Jianchen and Little Fatty walked back from the fields. After the two of them separated, Jianchen immediately went to his room to check on the White Tiger's condition. The White Tiger was still in a deep sleep. It had not completely digested the heavenly treasures it ate during the day.
Seeing that the White Tiger was safe and sound, Jianchen also felt relieved and left. Then, he gathered with Little Fatty and his family to eat dinner. However, there was an empty seat at the dinner table tonight.
Looking at the empty seat, Little Fatty asked with a puzzled expression, "Grandpa, why isn't father here?"
"Little Fatty, your father has something to do, so he went out. Don't worry about him. Eat well." Uncle Xiu had a kind smile on his face, and his gaze towards Little Fatty was full of love.
"Oh!" Little Fatty replied in a low voice, and his expression immediately became gloomy. He knew that his father probably went to the outside world again. The outside world was something that Little Fatty had yearned for since a few years ago.
Jianchen's gaze flickered as he looked at Uncle Xiu. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Xiu, have you never thought of letting Little Fatty go out to gain experience?" As he said that, Jianchen's eyes were fixed on Uncle Xiu's expression.
As expected, Uncle Xiu's expression changed. However, before he could say anything, Jianchen continued, "Uncle Xiu, it's not good for Little Fatty to continue living in this mountain village. At most, he'll be able to live an ordinary life and lose a lot of the pleasures of life. Moreover, he won't be able to truly grow up if he stays here forever. Without experiencing the hardships of the outside world, Little Fatty's mind will never truly mature. Furthermore, I believe you know that Little Fatty doesn't like this kind of life either. Since you care about Little Fatty so much, you should consider his growth more. He can't grow up in your embrace forever, or he won't be able to truly grow up. Not only will you not help him by restricting him like this, you'll even harm him."
Uncle Xiu fell silent when he heard that. As someone who had wandered the Tian Yuan Continent for countless years and had experienced many storms, how could he not understand something like this? However, he really did not want Little Fatty to set foot in the outside world. He had experienced far too many things and had already seen through the nature of the world. He only hoped that Little Fatty could live here peacefully without being tainted by the world. He wanted to retain a pure heart and cultivate peacefully.
Afterwards, Jianchen gave a large number of reasons to persuade uncle Xiu to relent. In order to help Little Fatty escape from this bitter life, Jianchen had basically racked his brains and used all the reasons he could think of.
Perhaps Jianchen had hit the nail on the head, but uncle Xiu remained silent the entire time. He ate like a machine and did not express any opinions.
"Grandfather, I've never seen the outside world before. I really want to go out and take a look." Little Fatty also looked at uncle Xiu pleadingly as he spoke pitifully.
"Father, Jianchen is right. I know that you've already reached a level that we can't catch up to. You've seen through the nature of the world, but Little Fatty is still an inexperienced Saint Master. He has never experienced anything like that. He doesn't even know what the outside world is like. Just because you can see through it doesn't mean Little Fatty has seen through it. If Little Fatty doesn't go out and experience some setbacks, he'll probably never be able to mature. Father, if you're really thinking for Little Fatty, you should let him go out and gain some experience so that he'll have the ability to deal with anything that comes up in the future." Little Fatty's mother also pleaded. Her voice was gentle and graceful. Her manner of speech was like that of a young lady from a large family, as if she was the daughter of a large family.
Under the pressure of Jianchen and Little Fatty, uncle Xiu finally relented. He let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it. What you've said is not without reason. I was too stubborn before. Little Fatty, since you want to go out and explore the outside world, grandfather won't stop you."
"Really, grandfather? You really agree to let me go out and explore the outside world?" Little Fatty was overjoyed. He was extremely emotional.
Seeing Little Fatty's emotional expression, uncle Xiu could not help but sigh inside. At this moment, he could not help but ask himself whether it was right or wrong for him to leave Little Fatty here.
Uncle Xiu placed a mouthful of food into his mouth and said, "Little Fatty, if you want to leave, grandfather won't stop you. However, you must have the strength of an Earth Saint Master!"
"Alright, grandfather. I will definitely cultivate diligently in the future so that I can break through to Earth Saint Master as soon as possible." Little Fatty was not discouraged at all. Instead, he was excited.
Seeing how happy Little Fatty was, his mother could not help but smile faintly.
… …
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these three days, Jianchen and Little Fatty had chopped down quite a lot of wood and rebuilt an even larger wooden hut where the fire had originally been. They had basically fulfilled their promise.
After the wooden hut was built, Jianchen bid farewell to Little Fatty. He promised to visit him on this day next year and take him away once he broke through to Earth Saint Master. Afterwards, Jianchen left with the White Tiger in his arms. Before he left, a Space Ring appeared in his hand. It had been given to him by uncle Xiu. It contained a few heavenly resources he had collected in the Myriad Mountains over the years. He had given them all to Jianchen in hopes of helping the White Tiger grow faster.
Jianchen quickly flew over the Myriad Mountains with the White Tiger in his arms. He constantly thought about how he could find a Space Gate to return to the Kingdom of Gesun.
This place was just too far away from the Kingdom of Gesun. Even if Jianchen flew non-stop, it would still take him a very long time to get there. The only quick and simple method was to use a Space Gate.
Unfortunately, Space Gates were just too rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. Although there were Space Gates everywhere in Mercenary City, he did not have the right to use them. He did not know of any other Space Gates aside from Mercenary City.
"Wuuu … wuuu …" The White Tiger in Jianchen's arms suddenly began to cry out loudly, interrupting Jianchen's thoughts. The White Tiger stared at the ground behind it as it waved its paws randomly in the air.
Jianchen stared at the White Tiger in confusion. He had no idea what it was doing.
"Wuuu … wuuu …" The White Tiger kicked around in Jianchen's arms as it constantly cried out while pointing at the forest behind it. Its wings opened and closed slightly as if it wanted to fly out of Jianchen's arms.
Jianchen hugged the White Tiger tightly and gently stroked its furry head. Afterward, he returned in the direction the White Tiger had pointed out before landing in a dense forest.
As soon as Jianchen's feet touched the ground, the White Tiger leapt out of his arms. It ran along the ground with its powerful limbs and very soon stopped before the roots of an ancient tree that was over a hundred meters tall.
Jianchen walked over to take a look and couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that there was a Lingzhi growing there. The Lingzhi was purple in color and wasn't very big. It was only about twenty centimeters tall and ten centimeters wide. However, looking at the White Tiger's drooling appearance, Jianchen knew that this was a Heavenly Treasure that was quite old.
Although the size and age of the Ganoderma Lucidum were somewhat unsightly, not every heavenly material and earthly treasure would grow larger with age.
Jianchen carefully dug up the Lingzhi. As soon as he held it in his hands, a furry little head impatiently came over. Its cute little nose kept sniffing around the Lingzhi.
"Eat it!" Jianchen chuckled and directly put the Lingzhi in front of the White Tiger's mouth. The White Tiger let out a cry of joy and swallowed the Lingzhi in one gulp. Then it closed its eyes and went back to sleep to digest the medicinal power.
