There was no one on the training ground. The night dew was heavy and the weather was cold. The surface of the stone dumbbells was covered in a layer of frost.
These stone dumbbells were made of hard green steel rock. Even after being exposed to the elements for hundreds of years, they would not lose weight due to weathering.
In the vast wilderness, people were used to describing a warrior's strength with catty, stone and cauldron.
This catty was similar to the catty on Earth. A stone was a hundred catties, a cauldron was ten stones, which was a thousand catties!
Yi Yun looked around to make sure no one was around. He came in front of the dumbbells and picked up a twenty-five catty dumbbells. He gently wiped off the frost on the dumbbells and lowered his body. Up!
The dumbbells were lighter than Yi Yun had imagined. He could lift them with one hand!
Yi Yun was overjoyed. Sure enough!
Next, Yi Yun chose a hundred catty dumbbells.
This time, it was difficult to lift them with one hand. Switching to two hands, it was easy.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yun stood in front of the hundred catty dumbbells. He squatted down and grabbed the bottom of the dumbbells with both hands. His spine was taut like a bow and his legs exerted strength to his waist.
"Up!"
Yi Yun gritted his teeth and lifted the hundred catty dumbbells above his head!
"I've lifted it!"
Yi Yun was overjoyed. He held on for about three seconds before throwing the dumbbells on the ground.
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy lifting a stone weight that was more than three times his own weight. If this happened on Earth, it would be simply inconceivable.
His strength had increased by so much overnight!
And strength was secondary. What was more ridiculous was his speed!
As a child, strength was his weakness. He was much weaker than an adult. But his speed was not far off. When facing Zhao Tiezhu's attack, Yi Yun was confident that his speed was at least twice that of his opponent's!
His body had undergone a huge change!
Thinking back to the process of vomiting black blood and sweating, it was probably the legendary Marrow Cleansing.
His body's foundation was terrible. After going through a Marrow Cleansing, be it his strength or speed, they had increased greatly!
Without a doubt, these changes were brought about by the Purple Crystal. But why did the Purple Crystal bring such changes to his body? What was the reason?
Yi Yun subconsciously touched the Purple Crystal on his chest, but he did not expect to touch anything but air.
"Huh!?"
Yi Yun was alarmed and hurriedly tore open the clothes in front of his chest.
The Purple Crystal disappeared …
However, the chill in his chest did not diminish in the slightest.
What exactly was this …
Yi Yun lowered his head and gently touched the spot where his heart was. He had a strange feeling. It was as if the Purple Crystal was there and had never left.
Every time his heart beat, the Purple Crystal vibrated along with it. It was as if the Purple Crystal had become one with his heart.
And with every tremble of the Purple Crystal, a faint coolness was released. It flowed through the blood from his heart and into Yi Yun's limbs.
Yi Yun looked up and could vaguely see the starlight in the sky gathering towards him. To be precise, they were gathering towards the Purple Crystal.
The starlight entered his body and disappeared.
With regards to the various phenomena of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun had some guesses.
Purple Crystals could absorb energy!
In this world, in this universe, energy was the foundation!
From the revolution of celestial bodies, the birth and death of stars, to the construction of nests by ants and the flourishing of grass, all of these were inseparable from energy.
According to the physics theories Yi Yun learned on Earth, the entire universe began from a "singularity" that contained endless energy.
Energy could be transformed into matter, into life, into everything.
And in this strange world, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that experts cultivated was naturally a form of energy.
The Purple Crystal had a natural affinity with energy.
It could absorb starlight. Besides starlight, the two attacks that Lian Chengyu had used on him were also a form of energy. This energy was probably something like "Quintessential Essence" that Lian Chengyu had cultivated.
It lurked within his body, causing his body to stiffen. But when this energy reached his chest and touched the Purple Crystal, it was absorbed by the Purple Crystal!
As for where the energy that the Purple Crystal absorbed went, it was obvious.
The invisible coolness that accompanied the blood flow was probably a manifestation of the energy. The energy that the Purple Crystal absorbed flowed through Yi Yun's heart and blood to nourish his body. With every heartbeat, Yi Yun felt his body grow stronger.
Thinking back to the Marrow Cleansing that happened in his body, it was naturally caused by the energy entering his meridians and blood.
Energy could change the structure of matter. It could bring life, strength and strength to a person!
His strength had increased from 15 pounds to 100 pounds. This change could be said to be a rebirth.
Then what kind of energy had such an effect?
Just a bit of starlight, or the destructive energy that Lian Chengyu had left in his body would not have such a heaven-defying effect.
The answer was without a doubt – desolate bones!
When the rations were distributed, Lian Chengyu had opened the wooden box of desolate bones. Yi Yun saw many light dots fly out from the desolate bones and into the Purple Crystal, being absorbed by the Purple Crystal.
Desolate bones were the most precious parts of a desolate beast. They were the essence, and were worth more than desolate beast meat!
The essence refined from desolate bones could allow a warrior to break through, allowing a genius like Lian Chengyu to go from a normal warrior to a Purple Blood Warrior.
The value of desolate bones was imaginable!
Yi Yun was a kid without the strength to even truss a chicken. He had no foundation, and his body was as weak as it could be. With such a foundation, how could he not be reborn after obtaining a tiny portion of the desolate bones' energy?
After understanding all of this, Yi Yun had a feeling that everything was made clear.
He took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed his mind. The Purple Crystal was no doubt a treasure. It had fused with his body. Every time his heart beat, the Purple Crystal would inject energy into his blood, tempering his body and increasing his strength!
Strength increased with his heartbeat. Heartbeat was cultivation. The Purple Crystal's effect was heaven-defying.
Despite obtaining such a treasure, Yi Yun did not show a look of ecstasy.
On the contrary, Yi Yun's expression was solemn. Having lived two lives, although Yi Yun did not experience much in his first life, after this reincarnation, Yi Yun's mentality had changed imperceptibly.
When he first arrived in this strange world, Yi Yun was at a loss. His emotions were fluctuating, but slowly, he adapted to this place and calmed down.
With a treasure in front of him, he could not be too greedy. It was not that he had no desires or no interest in the treasure. On the contrary, it was because he knew the treasure was too precious, so he had to be careful. If he got carried away, it would be easy for others to see through him, which would lead to disaster!
Yi Yun knew that the secret of the Purple Crystal could not be told to anyone.
The only person Yi Yun could trust in this strange world was his sister, Jiang Xiaorou. But the less people who knew, the less danger there would be.
If the treasure was not shown to others, and Jiang Xiaorou was just a weak girl, she would be easily harmed. If she knew too much, it would bring disaster upon her.
