Just as Yi Yun was thinking, he saw the fat elder take out a tattered piece of yellow paper. This yellow paper reminded Yi Yun of the toilet paper used in China's countryside in the 1980s. This charm was even more tattered than toilet paper.
Compared to the 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' Lin Xintong gave him, the paper quality was worlds apart from this charm.
Under Yi Yun's suspicious gaze, the fat elder stuck his fat finger into his mouth and licked it. Using his finger as a pen, he dipped it in saliva and scribbled on the charm.
"Done!"
The fat elder handed the talisman paper to Yi Yun. "Keep it well. This talisman paper of mine is of extraordinary value. It's a bargain for you. Eh, why are you looking at me like that? There's no need to be so grateful."
Yi Yun received the charm speechlessly. The saliva on it was messy, and from the looks of it, the saliva was about to dry up.
Yi Yun had a constipated expression. It wasn't that he didn't believe in the old man's strength, but he was afraid the old man would play a prank on him. After all, this charm was used to save his life!
If he were to lose his life at the critical moment, such as being cornered by a desolate beast, then he would suddenly throw out this talisman, and it just so happened that the talisman did not have any effect …
That scene was too beautiful. Yi Yun did not dare to think about it. If the desolate beast had any intelligence, it would probably think that Yi Yun was doing this out of consideration for it. By giving it a piece of toilet paper, it could use it to wipe its ass after digesting Yi Yun's food!
"Alright, I've given you everything you should. Hurry up and make that dish for me!" The Fat Old Man took out a large pile of pots and pans from his ring and piled them up noisily.
This made Yi Yun sigh. Having a high status was capricious. With such interspatial equipment, one could bring seven or eight pots when traveling.
He was not in a hurry to cook the Salt Baked Chicken. Instead, he cupped his fists and asked, "May I know senior's name?"
He had gotten to know the old man, and he had received a favor from him, but he did not know the old man's name.
"Hey, my name …" The old man paused and seemed to be reminiscing, "It's been a while since someone called me that. Since you want to know, I'll stamp it for you."
As the old man said that, he took out a stamp-like object from his ring and stamped it on the piece of toilet paper.
For a moment, a faint light gathered and formed a red seal on the paper.
The stamp had two words written on it, Su Jie.
"Su Jie?" Yi Yun's mind stirred. This name was very special. The word "Tribulation" meant calamity, a great calamity. When parents gave their children names, it was usually for the sake of auspiciousness. They rarely used the word "Tribulation" in their names.
"This junior will remember your kindness today."
Yi Yun said sincerely. He knew that although old man Su was gluttonous and stingy, he had helped him. And it was definitely not because of a few servings of "Salt Baked Chicken".
Yi Yun bade farewell to old man Su. Before he left, other than preparing the Salt Baked Chicken, Yi Yun had also written down a few cooking methods that used alcohol on a piece of paper. He left them to old man Su. There were capable chefs in this world. As long as they saw the cooking methods of these dishes, they would definitely be able to make delicious delicacies. This was the only way Yi Yun could repay him.
And before old man Su left, he also left some ingredients for Yi Yun. If not, life in the vast wilderness would be too tough.
As such, when the sun set, Old Man Su and Lin Xintong continued on their training journey. When they turned their heads, Yi Yun's figure had slowly disappeared into the mountains. All that was left was the clouds that filled the sky. It was like a line of fire burning on the horizon.
"Master, do you think highly of him?"
Lin Xintong asked. After Yi Yun finished making the Salt Baked Chicken, Lin Xintong had a short spar with Yi Yun. However, the strange feeling that caused her dried up meridians did not happen again. This made Lin Xintong feel some regret.
Perhaps it was really just his imagination.
Old man Su shook his head, "I don't think highly of him. I just admire him."
"His perceptivity surprised me. His luck is good, but … I can't think of any way to make up for the flaws in his bone frame. If he wants to cultivate to a higher realm, he will need massive amounts of resources. It's too difficult!"
In this world, among the multitude of living beings, there were as many people who aspired to learn martial arts as there were grains of sand in the Ganges River. How many of them could succeed?
"Maybe, there are miracles in this world …" Lin Xintong muttered to herself. She seemed to be talking about Yi Yun, but it was also like she was talking about herself.
Old man Su was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he fell silent.
Yes, miracles …
He was a Desolate Heaven Master. He had strict requirements for disciples. The disciple had to have an excellent bone frame and also have unparalleled talent in the desolate bone technique. This was too difficult. He had searched for hundreds of years and had seen countless disciples from large family clans. He had only accepted Lin Xintong as his disciple.
But this disciple that he was extremely satisfied with had natural Yin Meridians. Her excellent bone frame for martial arts was useless because of her broken meridians.
This was really ironic.
"Let's go … We might not see him again. We will not stay in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom for too long. When we leave the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in the future, this youth might not even leave the Cloud Wilderness. Even if he leaves the Cloud Wilderness, it will be difficult for him to leave the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in his lifetime. The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom is too big. "
Old man Su also felt some regret. This youth's ambition was higher than the sky, but he was born in the wrong place. He did not have the bone frame for martial arts. It was really regrettable.
"We won't meet again?" Lin Xintong was momentarily lost in thought. She recalled the strange feeling she had when she first sparred with Yi Yun. Her naturally dried up meridians seemed to have been touched.
Although it was later confirmed that it was 99% an illusion, Lin Xintong did not want to give up even the slightest bit of hope. Maybe her master could give her an explanation?
"Master, I have something to tell you …" Lin Xintong suddenly said.
"Oh? What's the matter? "Old man Su saw Lin Xintong's serious expression and slowly slowed down his footsteps.
Lin Xintong described her feeling in detail. Old man Su was stunned after hearing it. Dried up meridians were touched? What was the reason?
He could not help but pull at his beard and fell into deep thought.
Old man Su had been researching natural Yin Meridians all these years, trying to find a way to resolve it. But he had failed time and time again. But because of this research, old man Su's understanding of natural Yin Meridians was probably the best in the entire world.
Natural Yin Meridians were terminated meridians and could not contain energy. It was like a dry well that could not produce water. But Lin Xintong had said that when she sparred with Yi Yun, she had felt a subtle energy flow in her meridians!
Even if it was Lin Xintong's illusion, old man Su was very concerned.
"Let's go to the Tao tribal clan first. I have already made an appointment with the Jin Long Wei's leader, Zhang Tan. I have asked him to gather some information regarding the Purple Clouds' Birth in the vast wilderness. After obtaining this information, we can make further plans!"
Old man Su's main reason for coming to the Cloud Wilderness was for the Purple Clouds' Birth phenomenon. He wanted to see if there was any treasure in the Cloud Wilderness. He wanted to use it to change Lin Xintong's fate and join up her terminated meridians!
As for Yi Yun, it was just an illusion that Lin Xintong had felt. Old man Su did not have much hope, but with the principle of killing wrongly rather than letting him go, old man Su decided to investigate.
