Yi Yun knew that he was just an ordinary person. Two months ago, this body could be described as weak. The fat elder's evaluation of him being "just ordinary" was very euphemistic.
Yi Yun was a little worried. The fat elder had opened his Heaven's Eye, yet he could not tell that the Purple Crystal was in his heart …
"Ordinary physique, poor background, yet …" The fat elder thought for a moment. Suddenly, he saw the pool behind Yi Yun and an idea flashed in his mind.
He touched Yi Yun's body again, causing Yi Yun to have goosebumps.
What was this old man doing? Didn't he know that men should not be touched by beasts!?
"I understand now. Kid, you must have eaten some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure, and then tempered your body at the bottom of this deep pool. The tyrannical energy of the heavenly material and the ice-cold pool water canceled each other out, and tempered your entire body by accident, allowing you to reach this realm!"
The fat elder's words made Yi Yun secretly speechless. This old man was too good. Although his guess was not completely accurate, it was very close to the truth.
"Looking at your young age, it's not easy for you to have such an achievement. Although it's because you were lucky to have eaten a treasure, and in the future … you will probably be like this, but it's still not easy!"
The fat elder's words made Yi Yun roll his eyes. Is he praising me, or insulting me!?
"I say, kid, it's fate that we got to know each other …" The fat elder said as he reached into his pocket, as if he was taking something out.
Yi Yun's eyes lit up. Was this the rhythm of a pie falling from the sky? Could it be that the old man appreciated him, and wanted to give him some cultivation technique manuals or desolate bone essence? Elixirs would do too!
The fat elder's hands were meaty, and his thumb was adorned with a flashy jade ring. It did not look like an old man's withered hand at all.
When he grabbed it out, his fat fist was clenched tightly like a white bun. He placed it in Yi Yun's palm and gently loosened it.
Hua la, hua la!
A copper coin fell into Yi Yun's hand. The copper coin still had the residual warmth of the fat elder's palm.
Copper coins?
Three black lines appeared on Yi Yun's forehead.
"Go buy some sweets to eat."
The chubby old man smiled and waved his hand, looking very generous. Beside him, the linen-clothed girl smiled as well. Clearly, she treated Yi Yun as a child.
"F * ck!"
Yi Yun looked at the twenty copper coins in his hand and cursed in his mind.
In this world, mortals still used gold, silver, and copper as currency. However, in the Cloud Wilderness, gold and silver were just supplementary means of payment. The real currency was food, armor, and weapons.
This old man was obviously an expert, but when traveling outside, it was inevitable that he would bring along some mortal currency.
Using silver ingots to buy things was a very large denomination in the mortal world. In general inns, eating, copper coins were also indispensable.
Therefore, it was not strange that this old man had copper coins.
But …
To those experts, let alone copper coins, even gold and silver were of little value. If you want to give something, you should at least give a few gold ingots!
Yi Yun was rendered speechless.
Actually, it was shameful for him to have such thoughts of reaping without sowing. It was true that poverty stunted ambition.
He had used up all his cultivation resources and was only at the Meridians realm. Although the Tempered Body realm was beautiful, he did not dare to hunt in the vast wilderness without reaching the Purple Blood realm. If he did not hunt, what was he to eat? Was he to eat coarse grain porridge?
And even the coarse grain porridge, Jiang Xiaorou would leave the thick for Yi Yun and drink the thin for herself.
Yi Yun was starving, and Jiang Xiaorou was starving with him.
Yi Yun cursed in his heart, but he still kept the copper coins. It would be a waste if he did not take it. If he gave it to Jiang Xiaorou, she could exchange it for food with her tribe or people.
Indeed, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Indeed, in the eyes of the chubby old man, he was still a child. Giving him some copper coins to buy sweets was just to tease him.
Although he had a Tempered Body realm, his constitution was average. He had relied on treasures to achieve it, so it was nothing worth paying attention to.
He was small, poor, and weak. He had only met this stingy old man by chance, so why would he give him any benefits?
He must have found it amusing and was just teasing him.
"Senior, where are you going?" Yi Yun tried to strike up a conversation.
There was nothing to lose by getting to know the old man.
"We are going to the Tao tribal clan."
The fat elder did not hide it.
"Tao tribal clan …" Yi Yun knew that the Tao tribal clan was a large tribe near the Lian tribal clan, and it was the owner of the Lian tribal clan!
The weapons and armors that the Lian tribal clan made were all supplied to the Tao tribal clan.
The old and young duo were obviously people of great status. Their strength allowed them to travel through the Cloud Wilderness at will. Just thinking about it made people envious.
Yi Yun suddenly recalled that a few days ago, Zhang Yuxian had exhorted the Lian tribal clan that something big had happened in the Cloud Wilderness. Many important people would pass by the Lian tribal clan, so the Patriarch of the Lian tribal clan should not neglect them.
From the looks of it, the old man and the young girl were the so-called important people!
The fat old man had already planned to leave, but when he lifted his feet, he suddenly felt a little hungry. He looked up at the sun, touched his chin that was so fat that it was split into two halves, and said, "It's time to eat again. The scenery here is not bad. There are mountains and water, and it's clean.
"Eat?"
Hearing this word, Yi Yun suddenly felt … hungry. He was really hungry.
He had been eating coarse grain porridge for two consecutive months, relying on herbs and desolate bones essence. But last night, he had digested all the energy he had absorbed in one go after entering the deep end of the pool.
Now, Yi Yun's body seemed to be empty inside and out.
"Hey, my disciple, let's eat." The fat elder called out to Lin Xintong.
Lin Xintong nodded and looked at Yi Yun, saying, "Little brother, why don't you eat with us?"
"Eh?" Yi Yun was slightly stunned, but he was overjoyed. He felt that the girl's voice was too pleasant. "That … How could I …"
Although Yi Yun said that, he had already found a place to sit down.
The old man and the girl were not ordinary, so how could their food be bad?
Any random food would be very beneficial to his cultivation!
The fat elder was about to light a fire, but seeing Yi Yun planning to stay there, he curled his lips in disdain. But since his disciple had spoken, he had no choice but to acquiesce.
He touched the jade ring on his right hand and magically took out three plucked pheasants. He pierced them with a wooden stick and placed them by the side of the fire.
The old man's jade ring was like Doraemon's magical pocket. In a short while, he took out a bunch of bottles and jars. They were all seasonings.
Yi Yun was envious. He had thought that the old man wearing the ring was an act of showing off, but he did not expect it to be a treasure that could be contained in a mustard seed.
It seemed that this was the so-called "space ring" of the legends.
"Hehe, you'll be satisfied today. There aren't many people who can taste my cooking!"
The old man said as he rubbed his hands and picked up a pheasant to roast.
Only then did Yi Yun notice that this was no ordinary pheasant. It looked like a pheasant, but it contained an extremely rich amount of energy. This was because Yi Yun could see light dots floating on the pheasant's body. The energy was extremely pure, making it tempting.
Yi Yun felt his mouth salivate. This was good stuff!
He had not tasted meat for two months, so now that he saw a plump pheasant that contained pure energy, how could he not salivate?
He wished he could immediately roast the pheasant and swallow it.
But soon, Yi Yun saw the old man's roasting method and felt embarrassed.
