"Does that mean I can refine the desolate bones?" Yi Yun was overjoyed.
Lian Chengyu softly acknowledged. To be so happy even though he was about to die, it was really pitiful for him to be in such a state.
"Thank you, Young master."
Yi Yun was very happy. It was not an act. He was really happy. He had thought that after meeting Lian Chengyu, Yi Yun would suddenly go crazy after seeing him alive. He would slap him a few more times and use the same old trick to kill him.
Although Lian Chengyu's sneak attack could not do anything to Yi Yun, it would still cause a lot of trouble.
The first time, Lian Chengyu did not manage to kill him, he would probably think it was an accident. If he failed to kill him a second time, he would notice it. That would not be good news for Yi Yun.
Now, Lian Chengyu wanted Yi Yun to refine the desolate bones, which was exactly what Yi Yun wanted.
The refinement of the desolate bones gave Yi Yun time to catch his breath. Yi Yun's strength could be described as a thousand miles a day. If he had another month or two, it would be completely different!
"Yun-er, why aren't you home for dinner?"
Jiang Xiaorou was cooking, but when she brought the meal out, she realized Yi Yun had disappeared. When she went out, she saw Yi Yun chatting with Lian Chengyu.
Jiang Xiaorou's heart tightened. Lian Chengyu had caused Yi Yun a lot of harm, and had nearly taken his life!
She was worried that Lian Chengyu would harm Yi Yun, so she quickly walked over.
Although Jiang Xiaorou hated Lian Chengyu, she knew she could not fall out with Lian Chengyu.
"Oh, it's Young master Lian."
When Jiang Xiaorou saw Lian Chengyu, she forced a smile and pulled Yi Yun over without batting an eyelid, blocking Yi Yun behind her.
"Oh? Jiang Xiaorou, I remember you. "
Lian Chengyu furrowed his brows when he noticed Jiang Xiaorou's actions. This little lass was very hostile towards him!
Lian Chengyu did not like it when the poor people of the Lian tribal clan showed him any disrespect. Perhaps it was because of his inferiority in front of a large faction's pride, Lian Chengyu placed more importance on his dignity towards the poor people who were inferior to him.
But Jiang Xiaorou was a girl he admired, so he had a rare bit of tolerance. He could slowly tame this girl.
Lian Chengyu left. Although he admired Jiang Xiaorou, he did not show any eagerness towards her. He did not even say a word to her. He was a person of high status. He treated women as his concubine, not as a pursuer. He only needed to wait for Jiang Xiaorou to reach a dead end and let Zhao Tiezhu step in.
Jiang Xiaorou looked at Lian Chengyu's back and clenched Yi Yun's hand, "Yun-er, what happened?"
Jiang Xiaorou looked at Lian Chengyu's back and squeezed Yi Yun's hand.
It was Yi Yun who told Jiang Xiaorou that Lian Chengyu had harmed Yi Yun. Since Yi Yun said that he was fine, Jiang Xiaorou felt a little more at ease. These days, she felt that her brother was no longer a pure child like before. He had his own ideas.
Jiang Yun. "Yi" Yun, "Yun said.," Yun, "Lian Yun," Yun Yun Yun, "Yun, Er," Yun, "Yun, Yun," Yun, Yun, "you want to do., I, Yun., You can't go to that place! "
Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou in surprise. Jiang Xiaorou had a sharp intuition that surprised him. Although she did not know the mystery behind refining the desolate bones, she could tell that it was a dangerous task.
Yi Yun thought for a while and lowered his voice, "Sis Xiaorou, I'm not as weak as you think. After coming back from the dead, I feel different from before … Don't you remember when I went up the mountains to pick herbs? I could even climb up a twenty meter cliff."
With Yi Yun saying this, Jiang Xiaorou also recalled. Previously, when she saw Yi Yun climbing the rocks at a fast speed, she found it strange. But thinking of how Yi Yun liked to climb and pick herbs from a young age, she could barely accept it.
Now that she thought about it, Yi Yun was indeed much more agile. In terms of climbing rocks, he was even better than the members of the warrior preparation camp.
With this in mind, Jiang Xiaorou felt slightly relieved. Her brother was indeed different.
Sometimes, there were blessings after surviving a disaster. Jiang Xiaorou had heard that some people who were struck by lightning not only did not die, but also gained special abilities.
Could Yun-er be in a similar situation?
…
That night, as a new able-bodied man, Yi Yun was pulled to the grain-sunning grounds.
The grain-sunning grounds had long been surrounded by wooden fences. Due to the "typhoid" incident, there were more and more wooden fences. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.
There were more than thirty people refining the desolate bones. They were divided into two shifts, day and night.
Yi Yun was assigned to the night shift. There were more than ten people on the night shift. Although they were not as strong as the members of the warrior preparation camp, they were all broad-boned. Standing in there, Yi Yun was like a chick standing in a flock of geese. His height only reached their chests.
Seeing Yi Yun, the dozen able-bodied men were stunned. The look in their eyes was obvious. How could a child with thin arms and legs be chosen to refine the desolate bones?
Ignoring his strength, with his height, he could not even reach the mouth of the cauldron by standing on a stool. How could he add "Li Fire Water" into the cauldron?
"Kid, are you kidding me? Someone like you can refine the bones? "
"What can you do with that small body of yours? Your thighs aren't even as thick as the firewood! "
Seeing Yi Yun's situation, the men had their opinions. Yi Yun did not work, but they would be given a share of bacon in the future. How could they feel good about it?
Yi Yun could not be bothered to respond. He sat down on the pile of firewood like a hoodlum, leaving the bunch of people to speak.
"Time to eat the porridge!"
A man from the warrior preparation camp brought a bucket of porridge. There was porridge to eat when refining the desolate bones. This was probably a benefit given by the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan to ensure the smooth refinement of the desolate bones. Only by eating their fill would they have the strength to work.
Hearing that the porridge was here, the able-bodied men's eyes lit up and ran over without a care.
With a "whoosh", the bucket of porridge was snatched clean. Yi Yun was the last, and with these people purposely fighting for it, by the time it was Yi Yun's turn, there was only a bowl of porridge left.
Yi Yun was helpless. The saying that a remote village produces unruly people had its reasons. It was not that the people in the remote village had bad character, but poverty stunted ambition. If you tried to be a good person, you would starve to death.
"Time to work! Time to work! "The man from the warrior preparation camp shouted.
More than ten able-bodied men scattered around the cauldron, replacing the group from the day.
Yi Yun was the last. He walked very slowly and stared at the cauldron without blinking.
To others, Yi Yun looked like he was stunned by the purple flame. Indeed, the cauldron was too big. Yi Yun's height did not even reach the two ears of the cauldron.
But in fact, Yi Yun's vision was filled with faint dots of light. It looked like a group of fireflies flying in the night sky.
What a mysterious energy! This was the power of the desolate bones, the legendary Power of Desolates!
The endless number of light dots made Yi Yun very excited. Previously, the Purple Crystal had absorbed a bit of the desolate bones' energy, but it was from afar, so it did not absorb much. It was not like today, where he was in close contact with the desolate bones.
In comparison, the absorption of the Purple Jade Ginseng and Black Fungus paled in comparison. It was like a poor man who was used to eating plain food suddenly seeing delicacies. Yi Yun was extremely excited.
Wasn't this like a tomb robber entering an emperor's tomb, or a weasel entering a chicken coop!?
The desolate bones' energy was all his.
"Kid, what are you standing there for? Go chop some wood!" A man said as he threw an axe in front of Yi Yun.
Only then did Yi Yun snap out of his daze. He happily went to chop the firewood.
"This kid must have a problem with his brain!" The able-bodied man cursed and began busying himself. The few of them were in charge of chopping the Purple Firewood.
The Purple Firewood was the key fire source. It was very sturdy and heavy. A few able-bodied men had to work for a long time before they could chop off a piece of the Purple Firewood that was as thick as an arm.
These able-bodied men worked with all their might. Those who did well could be promoted to foreman, and receive an extra portion of cured meat and food.
Yi Yun stood by the side. Although he was happy, he did not get carried away. He knew that refining the desolate bones had something to do with the "Typhoid Fever"!
He wanted to find out what caused the Typhoid Fever. If the Purple Crystal could not cure it, then no matter how generous the rewards were, Yi Yun could only run.
Hence, as Yi Yun chopped the firewood, he carefully observed the bronze cauldron that had turned red from the heat.
Slowly, Yi Yun discovered a problem.
The light dots that flew out of the cauldron had two colors.
The first was purplish-red. This light dot was the majority. They flew aimlessly around the cauldron's mouth. Yi Yun realized that with a thought, these light dots would fly towards him.
As the Purple Crystal entered Yi Yun's heart, Yi Yun broke through to the second level of Mortal Blood. He did not know when he could control the Purple Crystal's absorption of energy.
He could absorb if he wanted to, and not absorb if he did not want to.
As for the other color of the light dot, it was ice blue …
