"Y- you really are Little Fatty." Jianchen stared at the resolute, burly young man in a daze. He struggled to believe his eyes.
"Y- you're Little Fatty?" Xiu Mi had just returned from the fields with his legs bare and a hoe on his shoulder. When he saw Little Fatty's appearance, his face was filled with shock. Was this really the son that he had in mind?
The current Little Fatty was just too different from the previous Little Fatty. This was not only a change in his aura, but also in his appearance and figure. The current Little Fatty did not have a single bit of fat on his body. Instead, he had slimmed down and lost some of his simple and honest look, becoming more capable.
"Father, why did you make Little Fatty like this?" Xiu Mi bitterly smiled at his father.
"Little Fatty, why have you become so skinny? You must have suffered a lot in the past few days." Little Fatty's mother also walked out of the wooden hut. Her face was filled with undisguised pain.
"Waaah … Little Fatty, why have you become like this? I almost couldn't recognize you."
"Are you really Little Fatty? Why do I feel like I've become a stranger? "
…
The other young men around Little Fatty's age all sighed in amazement. Disbelief filled their faces.
Little Fatty scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw the shocked expressions of the people around him. He chuckled, "I don't know what happened either. It's only been a few months, but I've become like this. But don't worry, I'm still the same Little Fatty from before." Little Fatty looked at Jianchen and apologetically said, "Jianchen, I'm really sorry. I was taken out by my grandfather to train a year ago, which was why I was delayed by a year. I've made you wait for so long."
Jianchen chuckled, "It's fine. I've only just arrived. Little Fatty, congratulations on breaking through to Earth Saint Master. You can be regarded as an expert on the Tian Yuan Continent now."
Little Fatty chuckled and said, "Jianchen, I'm already an Earth Saint Master now, and my grandfather has allowed me to leave here and explore the outside world with you. May I ask when we can set off?" Little Fatty seemed to be impatient.
Jianchen fell silent when he heard that. He said, "As soon as possible. Something has probably happened to my family, so I need to hurry back."
"Jianchen, why don't you leave tomorrow? Little Fatty has suffered quite a lot with his grandfather, so let him rest for a day," Little Fatty's mother said. She was reluctant to part Fatty.
"Yeah, I'll listen to you!" Jianchen nodded.
Little Fatty's sudden return forced Jian Chen, who was about to leave, to stay for another day.
.....
The next morning, over a hundred villagers gathered together to send off Jianchen and Little Fatty. Jianchen and Little Fatty bid farewell to the villagers one by one before leaving Longevity Valley.
After the two of them left, the villagers gathered at the entrance of Longevity Valley did not disperse for a long time. They stared in the direction the two of them had left in a daze. Many of them were filled with undisguised envy and yearning.
"Sigh!" Uncle Xiu raised his head and sighed. He said, "Originally, I didn't want Little Fatty to be embroiled in the disputes of the outside world, so I wanted him to live a peaceful life here. I never thought that with Jianchen's appearance, he would still end up walking down this path. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse."
"Father, I'm actually very much in favor of Little Fatty venturing out into the outside world. That's because only then can Little Fatty's mind truly mature. Moreover, Little Fatty's talent is not bad. If he lives a peaceful life like this, it'll just be a waste of his talent. Only by going through the trials of blood and fire, the tempering between life and death, can Little Fatty's potential be unleashed, creating a firm foundation for him to reach higher cultivation realms in the future. Perhaps Little Fatty will have the ability to succeed you in the future," said Xiu Mi.
Uncle Xiu fell silent for a while before gently shaking his head. He said, "No, I won't give this burden to Little Fatty. It's just a heavy burden to him. Although Little Fatty's talent is not bad, he's not suited to be a qualified leader."
"Why? Father, this isn't a weak force!" Xiu Mi asked in confusion.
Uncle Xiu gently sighed as a sliver of sorrow appeared in his eyes. He said, "Your mother died because of the Bloodsword sect. Before she died, she told me to stop participating in the conflicts of the Tian Yuan Continent and to find a peaceful place to live out my days in seclusion like those hermit clans. I want to enjoy the rest of my life peacefully."
"No matter how great your cultivation is or how great your talent is, you can't avoid being reduced to a skeleton in the end. All that remains is an empty name. In fact, what your mother said is also right. Living a normal life is also a good thing. You don't have to exhaust your body and mind for the sake of the mortal world. You can live a carefree life every day. "Uncle Xiu sighed and said.
"Father, how do you plan on dealing with the matter of the Bloodsword sect?" Xiu Mi asked.
Uncle Xiu fell silent for a while before replying, "I think Jianchen is a pretty good choice. He's extremely outstanding in every aspect, and his potential in particular has even amazed me. He's reached Heaven Saint Master at such a young age. His future accomplishments will definitely not be any less than mine."
…
Jianchen flew with Little Fatty in the air above the mountain range. He flew out of the Cross Mountains extremely quickly. The White Tiger that had roused from its slumber lay on Jianchen's shoulder quietly. Its beady eyes shone brightly as it constantly glanced below.
"Woo woo …" Suddenly, the White Tiger produced a happy cry. With a flap of its wings, it immediately flew off from Jianchen's shoulder and disappeared into the lush forest below. Soon, it returned with a fist-sized fruit in its mouth. It landed on Jianchen's shoulder and immediately ate it in large bites.
Jianchen stared at the White Tiger in some surprise. He smiled, "And I had thought that the little thing's wings were just for decoration. I never thought that it could actually fly. I've finally witnessed it today."
Little Fatty also looked at the White Tiger. He said, "Jianchen, I can sense that the White Tiger is very powerful. Has it already become a Class 5 Magical Beast?"
"That's right. Little White just broke through to the Class 5 Magical Beast level a few days ago. Little Fatty, I remember that you have never come into contact with a Class 5 Magical Beast before. How did you sense Little White's strength?" Jianchen asked curiously.
Little Fatty chuckled and said, "Some time ago, I was brought to an unknown place by my grandfather. I fought with all kinds of Magical Beasts all day long. Therefore, I am very familiar with the aura of Class 5 Magical Beasts. Naturally, I can sense it."
At this moment, Jianchen's face suddenly changed. His body that was flying in the air slowly came to a stop. His expression also became uncertain.
Because all of a sudden, the blood in Jianchen's body began to boil like boiling water. It flowed in his body at a speed ten times faster than normal. The intense heat it emitted caused Jianchen's body temperature to rapidly rise.
"Jianchen, what's wrong?" Little Fatty asked in confusion as he stared at Jianchen's constantly changing expression.
Jianchen remained silent. He did not know why his body had suddenly become like this. This was the first time he had encountered something like this.
"Is there a problem with the Chaotic Body?" Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. When he thought of this possibility, he did not dare to tarry. He immediately called out to the sword spirits in his head to ask about the situation.
"Master, your blood contains the antivenom of the Golden-striped Silver Snake. This reaction is caused by the antivenom in your blood. Golden-striped Silver Snakes are an extremely rare species, so they'll definitely react when they're separated by a certain distance. I think there's definitely another Golden-striped Silver Snake nearby, and it's not weak either. It's extremely likely to be a Class 7 Magical Beast," said Zi Ying.
Hearing this, Jianchen's face changed. Without another word, he immediately left with Little Fatty. The Silver Striped Golden Snake was an extremely rare variant. It was extremely powerful, much more powerful than ordinary Magical Beasts. It was very difficult to deal with. Now that he had Little Fatty with him, it was not suitable for him to clash with the Silver Striped Golden Snake.
Jianchen quickly flew out of the Cross Mountains and did not slow down at all as he flew towards Mercenary City. After two days of non-stop travel, he finally arrived at Mercenary City.
As soon as he entered the city, Jianchen found Wang Yifeng and the Jiede family's ancestor, Jiede Tai, waiting for him at the inn.
Jianchen and Wang Yifeng exchanged a few pleasantries before gradually introducing each other to each other. However, Jianchen did not reveal Jiede Tai's identity and only gave a vague introduction.
After everyone had gotten to know each other, Wang Yifeng and Little Fatty got to know each other very quickly. They laughed and chatted non-stop with Little Fatty in a very friendly manner.
Jianchen called Jiede Tai into his room and fed the White Tiger a large amount of heavenly resources to make it fall asleep. Only then did he say to Jiede Tai, "Come with me to the Cross Mountains immediately."
"What, to the Cross Mountains?!" Jiede Tai was shocked and his eyes were filled with deep fear. He immediately rejected the idea, "No, that is a forbidden area for all the powerhouses of the Tian Yuan Continent. You cannot go there unless you have the strength of the Holy Emperor."
Jianchen knew what Jiede Tai was afraid of and said, "Don't worry, we are not going to the depths of the Cross Mountains. We are only going to the outskirts. I know a little about the Cross Mountains and I will not die for nothing."
Hearing that they were not going to the depths of the Cross Mountains, Jiede Tai let out a sigh of relief and said, "As long as we are not going to the depths, nothing will happen in the outskirts. But what are you going to do there?"
"Time is of the essence. Come with me now and you will know what I am going to do when we get there." Jianchen gently placed the sleeping White Tiger on the bed and turned to leave the room. Jiede Tai followed closely behind Jianchen.
After that, Jianchen gave Wang Yifeng and Little Fatty a few more orders before leaving Mercenary City and heading towards the Cross Mountains with the Jiede family's ancestor.
