Wutian could not cultivate, which meant that they would have to feed and clothe him for the rest of his life. To the Dragon Village that was severely lacking in food, it was undoubtedly a burden.
"What do you know? Get lost!" A tall and sturdy young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a stocky back, and a bear-like waist, about seven feet tall slapped the two children fiercely in the face with his unusually large hands.
This young man was called Longhu. Although he was tall and burly with a rugged appearance, he was actually only thirteen years old. He was Wutian's only friend in the Dragon Village. Every time Wutian went out to hunt, Wutian would ask him to tell his fortune and foresee the dangers ahead.
Every time he followed Wutian's instructions, he would be able to turn misfortune into fortune and return with a full load. Over time, the two of them became good friends.
"Senior Lin Shan, don't listen to their nonsense. Wutian has been working hard all these years. Every morning, he would go to the peak of the back mountain and breathe in the vitality. Year after year, he has never given up. I think there must be some other reason why he can't open his physique. Moreover, I also believe that he won't die." Longhu said seriously.
"Is that so? Could it be that I guessed wrong? "
Lin Shan was puzzled. The other villagers did not know, but he was clear about Wutian's background. As early as ten years ago, Long Shan had told him everything. In his heart, he always thought that Wutian would become an extraordinary person in the future. Who would have thought that this would happen?
Lin Shan looked at the old man again. He knew that Long Shan knew the art of fortune-telling and must know about Wutian's life and death. He wanted to see something from it, but the latter was always calm and indifferent. It was difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"Elder Lin, forget it if he's dead. Let's start!" The well-dressed young man said impatiently.
"Who said I'm dead?"
At this time, a rather mocking voice sounded. Everyone looked up and saw a blood-red figure striding over. It was a young man. He was seven feet tall and had a tall and straight figure. His body was covered in blood and his eyes were dark and deep like a black hole that could suck people's minds.
"Tian 'er!" Long Shan suddenly stood up. His turbid eyes finally had a trace of color.
"Grandfather!" Wutian quickly ran in front of Long Shan and knelt on the ground with a plop. Looking at the haggard old man, his heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. Tears the size of beans dripped down.
"Grandpa, Tian 'er is back. I'm sorry, I've made you worry for so many days. Tian' er is unfilial, Tian 'er is a bastard, Tian' er is not human …" As Wutian spoke, he slapped his face viciously.
"Stop!"
Long Shan hurriedly stopped him. He extended his trembling hand and helped him up. He said lovingly, "Grandpa is already very happy to be able to return safely. Don't hurt yourself anymore. Grandpa's bones can't withstand any more torment."
"Grandfather, I'm sorry. It's Tian 'er's fault for making you worry."
Long Shan said, "Silly child, what did you do wrong? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame that damned demonic beast. It forced you down the cliff and you suffered."
"Monster beast?" Wutian stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood. He looked at Long He and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
"Little Tian, you're finally back. How are you? Are you hurt?" Long He said with concern. He took large strides forward and was very enthusiastic. After approaching, he said in a low voice, "I'm warning you. If you dare to leak this out, I'll kill your grandfather."
"You …" Wutian stared at him angrily.
"I mean what I say."
A cold light flashed in Long He's eyes. He extended his hand to pat Wutian's shoulder, but retracted it. He looked at the little black beast on his shoulder in fear and smiled, "Not bad. Not only did you return safely, your body is also much stronger. In the future, you will have the chance to open your physique."
Wutian's body stiffened. He did not doubt Long He's ruthless words.
Originally, he had planned to expose Long He's true face in front of everyone, but now he had no choice but to think deeper. Now that he had opened his physique, entering the Fire Cloud Sect was already an irrefutable fact. If he really told everyone what had happened a month ago, perhaps no one would believe him, and it would instead lead to a disaster.
"Stinking brat, can't you see that I'm here? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still the same. You don't even have the slightest bit of respect for your elders. "Lin Shan went up and knocked on Wutian's forehead.
Wutian felt the pain and temporarily put down the idea of exposing Long He. He smiled, "Uncle Lin, I haven't seen you for many years. I thought I would never see you again!"
"Stinking brat, I haven't seen you for a few years and you've already grown so tall." Lin Shan sighed and patted down on Wutian's shoulder.
"Peng" a sound, his feet staggered, and Wutian was slapped to the ground without any image.
Lin Shan was stunned. He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Little Tian, Uncle Lin forgot that you didn't cultivate. I'm sorry! Next time, I'll be gentler. "
"You can't take it the first time? Next time? It would be strange if you didn't want my life." Wutian climbed up in a sorry state and rolled his eyes. Who cares about your cultivation? Even if I opened my physique, I still can't take your palm.
"Hmph, wait until I'm strong, then I'll suppress you a hundred times."
Wutian was only thinking about it. The person in front of him was his grandfather's friend, and he understood him well. He was straightforward and did not have the arrogance of others. He treated people kindly and took care of the grandfather and grandson. He would occasionally send food for the two of them to live.
Sometimes, Wutian would wonder how his grandfather, who relied on fortune-telling for a living, would know the Managing Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect.
The Fire Cloud Sect was located at the Fire Cloud Mountain in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. It was about a thousand miles away from the Dragon Village. It was one of the few large sects in the Azure Dragon Continent. There were many experts and talents. To be able to become an Elder of such a large sect, one could imagine how extraordinary this person was.
Lin Shan frowned, "Stinking brat, it's been a few years, why haven't you opened your physique? What are you doing?"
"It's fine if it hasn't opened, it's not a big deal. I still want to stay by my grandfather's side for the rest of my life." Wutian did not mind and said indifferently.
Wutian's words were sincere. Right now, he really did not want to leave. Long He was like a tiger watching its prey, who knows when he would make things difficult for his grandfather. Now that he had the Yuan Swallowing Frog, he did not lack Profound Qi. Even if he did not go to the sect, he would still be able to cultivate. He might even grow faster than the disciples of the sect. The only drawback was that he did not have any secret manuals to cultivate.
"Wutian, this time you came back. Seems like there is no Bai Luo Ya."
"Knowing how to give up is a good thing. In the future, you should practice your fortune-telling techniques and share some of the burden for the village."
"We will not allow you to eat and drink for free. The village cannot afford to raise a cripple."
Some of the villagers were not happy about Wutian's safe return at all. Instead, it was as if they had seen a god of plague.
"All of you, shut up!" Lin Shan was furious. He released his aura. Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
"You little brat, in your dreams. But Elder Long will not agree. As long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do. Elder Long, don't you agree?" Lin Shan's voice was loud and clear. He painstakingly lectured them, but the two of them ignored him.
"Have you guys finished chatting?" At this time, the man on the flamingo opened his mouth. His face was obviously angry.
Lin Shan was shocked. His expression became serious as he glanced at the children and shouted, "Begin the test!"
As he spoke, a brocade box appeared. It was made of ancient wood and was engraved with patterns. Lin Shan waved his sleeve and opened the box. A few green fruits the size of soybeans appeared.
The Yuan Fruit was a special kind of fruit. It had the effect of predicting one's physique. If one ate this fruit, one's body would emit a white light.
"Same old rules. Those who want to take the test, step out!" Lin Shan said.
Six youngsters walked out one after another. Their faces were filled with nervousness and uneasiness. This test was a turning point in their lives. If they succeeded, they would be like fish leaping over the dragon's gate. If they failed, they would be like tigers falling to the plains.
Lin Shan looked over and smiled. Wutian was in a difficult position. He glanced at Long He and hesitated. Finally, under Long Shan's command, he slowly walked out.
Lin Shan's eyes were like lightning. He looked around and shook his hand. A few fruits flew out from the brocade box and landed in the hands of the children.
Looking at the fruits in their hands, the children felt uneasy. They did not dare to eat, fearing that they would be disappointed.
Wutian quietly watched. He was not in a hurry to eat. Now that his physique had been activated, the test was just a process.
Not long later, one of the children finally could not bear it and stuffed the Yuan Fruit into his mouth. However, after a while, there was no light. Everyone shook their heads. Their hearts were filled with disappointment. After all, a cultivator was very important to the village.
"Wu wu, I failed. I can't become a cultivator. I can't become a cultivator. I'm just like Wutian. I've become a burden to the village." The child was only eleven or twelve years old. He could not bear the blow and squatted on the ground crying.
"Child, don't worry. If you fail this year, you can try again next year. You will definitely succeed." The father of the boy comforted him.
"Sigh!" Lin Shan sighed and looked away.
The other villagers were the same. They looked at the boy for a while and then looked at the other boy who ate the Yuan Fruit. Their eyes were filled with expectation.
"Failed …"
"Failed …"
"Failed again …"
Not long later, the other four youngsters ate the Yuan Fruit one by one. However, the result was the same. There was no light. This meant that they did not have a physique.
The disappointment in the eyes of the villagers did not disappear. They could not accept it. These children were very hardworking in their cultivation. Everyone saw it. They did not expect that they would all fail.
In the field, only Wutian and Longhu did not eat the Yuan Fruit.
"Wutian, you first or me first?" Longhu was not worried at all.
Wutian laughed. He stretched out his arm and opened his palm. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the essence Qi in his Qi Sea.
"Wutian, what are you doing? Don't tell me you want to give up! "Longhu scratched his head and asked doubtfully.
Long He thought, "He hasn't been able to open his physique for sixteen years. If he doesn't give up, does he want to come out and embarrass himself?"
However, at this time, from Wutian's palm, a ray of light suddenly overflowed. It was like flowing water, covering his entire palm and releasing a dazzling light.
"This is … this is essence Qi … How is it possible? He has already opened his physique." Long He rubbed his eyes hard. He was not willing to believe it.
"Haha, Little Tian, not bad. Falling off the cliff allowed you to open your physique. It was worth it!" Lin Shan laughed.
"That's right, that's right!" Wutian smiled bitterly. This had nothing to do with falling off the cliff. However, he still had to accept it on the surface.
"Hmph, what's the big deal? He only opened his physique at the age of sixteen. His future achievements will be limited." Other than Longhu, the other children who failed felt uncomfortable.
"Mentors usually enter the sect at the age of thirteen or fourteen. He is now sixteen. In the future, he will at most reach the Great Success Stage of Rebirth. He won't have any great achievements." Previously, they had ridiculed him behind his back. Now that he had returned safely and opened his physique, their expressions were not good.
"But he's a Mentalist now. It's much better than us who don't have a body!" The children hung their heads dejectedly. They were in a daze and felt sour in their hearts.
"Wutian, congratulations!" Longhu had developed limbs but a simple mind. He did not have any thoughts. He was very straightforward and magnanimous.
Seeing everyone's reaction, especially the sluggish Longhu, Wutian was very satisfied. He smiled at Longhu and signaled him to do his best. He then walked towards the smiling old man and said, "Grandpa, are you surprised?"
"Surprise, a big surprise. Tian 'er, I never thought that you would be able to profit from this disaster. It's all thanks to that monster." Long Shan said happily.
"Yes, I have to thank that bastard. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today." Wutian looked at Long He and said word by word.
Hearing this, Long He's face turned red. He was furious, but he could not do anything. He could only hold it in.
