The old man seemed to have seen through my thoughts and smiled."You brat, haha! I've already lived for more than 1000 years. Why would I scheme against a young man like you?”
"What is it? More than 1000 years? Aren't you dead now?" I couldn't help but widen my eyes and stare at him.
"Then you, then why are you still here? Could it be? Could it be?" I could hear my heart pounding, and a cold breeze seemed to blow over my head. I was already incoherent as I clenched my hands into fists, ready to deal with what was about to happen. At this time, I had no time to think. If he was really a ghost, how could I beat him?
"Haha, you're interesting. How can I be a ghost? If it was a ghost, I would have harmed you, so why would I send Fox to save you? Have you ever seen a ghost as kind as me?”The old man said to me with a smile. After a series of questions, I finally put my heart back into my stomach. I let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened my clenched fist. I reached out to wipe my forehead with cold sweat. This old man was quite humorous. Would a bad person write the word 'bad' on their forehead? Did the ghost have to make herself look like she was going to scare people to death? I thought.
"Alright, looking at you, I won't keep you in suspense anymore. Come, sit beside me and I'll tell you slowly.”The old man pointed to a futon at the side and said to me.
As if I felt tired, I followed his wishes and sat on the futon beside him. However, I still moved my body slightly to the other side, as far as possible away from him. I didn't want to save my life and provoke a ghost. Wouldn't that be like coming out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den!
Seeing my careful appearance, the old man didn't say anything. He just maintained his kind smile. I even suspected that he was wearing a mask, or that he had only learned to smile since he was born (depressed).
"Fox, go get Rufeng something to eat.”Ol 'Amos turned to Fox and ordered.
Fox nodded and ran out.
"This little fox can understand human language? Did it really save me just now?" I had too many questions in my heart. I wanted to snatch the old man's thoughts and understand it as soon as possible.
"I'll answer your question first. It's exactly what you're thinking. Fox can understand human language, and I was the one who sent him to save you.”The old man stroked his white beard and nodded.
F * ck, wouldn't such a baby that could understand human language be sold for tens of thousands of yuan in the pet market? I couldn't help but dream of getting rich. Wasn't that old man afraid of rubbing his already messy beard on Ge You's forehead? I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him stroking his beard.
"If you want to talk about how you came here and the cause and effect of what happened in between, you have to start from a thousand years ago.”The old man looked ahead with a reminiscing expression.
"That was a thousand years ago. At that time, I was just an ordinary cultivator who was obsessed with cultivation. Like other cultivators, I chose to live in the mountains and forests, dreaming of immortality. I was lucky enough to have chosen this place. When I was 80 years old, one day, I went out to cultivate pills and qi. Occasionally, I saw a fox fighting with a small golden snake. I couldn't help but feel curious, so I walked forward to watch this once-in-a-thousand-years beast battle. At that time, the golden snake was already very experienced in battle. Although the fox was a spiritual beast, it was still young. Even so, because of its spiritual nature, it gradually gained the upper hand in the battle and attacked the golden snake from time to time.”The old man paused for a moment.
I was already attracted by his story and couldn't help but be fascinated. The scene of Fox fighting against the golden snake flashed in my mind. I saw that the old man stopped, because Fox had saved my life today. Although I knew that Fox was safe and sound, I was still abnormally nervous. I couldn't help but urge the old man to continue.
"The golden snake curled up its body and continuously blocked the fire fox's attacks. It was able to counterattack from time to time, but because of the fire fox's bravery, it gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on for a long time. All of a sudden, the golden snake lowered its head, and its golden skin exploded. A golden snake body that was even more ferocious than before appeared in the middle of its body. In an instant, the golden snake's attack power multiplied. Seeing that the fire fox was dodging left and right, and was about to lose its hold, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I threw out the wooden sword that I used to cultivate and cut the golden snake in half. As for Fox, she was grateful to me for saving her life, so she followed me around and listened to my orders.”
As I listened to Fox fighting Golden Snake on purpose, I got carried away for a moment and completely didn't notice that Fox had already brought a few monkeys holding fresh fruits to squat at the entrance of the cave.
Hearing the old man talking about his past, Fox was excited and couldn't help but squeak as she ran around the cave.
When I realized that the old man's story had suddenly stopped, I also woke up from my imagination. I saw Fox jumping around everywhere. It seemed that what I had just heard was intentional. My love for Fox increased even more.
"Rufeng, you must be hungry. I got Fox to make you some fruits. Eat some. After you eat, I'll continue.”The old man must have noticed that Fox had returned to the cave, so he stopped his story and pointed at the fruit in Monkey's hand.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a few monkeys rushed to offer the fruit to me. Holding the heavy fruit, I couldn't help but admire the old man. To be able to subdue the fire fox and command a group of monkeys, this old man was really not simple.
As if he had seen through my thoughts, the old man couldn't help but smile and say to me,"A thousand years ago, the fox was already a spiritual beast. After following me through a thousand years of cultivation, it has long become the king of beasts. Even tigers, leopards, and other ferocious beasts would bow down to it when they see it, let alone order a few little monkeys to pick fruits.”
Ah, now I understand. I picked up the unknown fruit and took a bite. I felt a stream of fresh and sweet sweat slowly flow into my throat. It was many times stronger than the ordinary peaches and pears I usually ate. I couldn't help but feel grateful towards Fox.
The fox seemed to know that I was very satisfied with the fruit. It happily squatted in front of me and shouted loudly. From time to time, it would do two somersaults. After hearing the old man talk about the fox, he knew that it was a spiritual creature, so he was no longer surprised by its actions.
Seeing that I was almost done eating, the old man continued to tell the unfinished story.
"After saving Fox, I began to think about the reason for the sudden increase in the golden snake's strength. After a hundred days, I finally understood the secret and created a cultivation technique, naming it the Divine Transformation Technique. In the next 300 years, I painstakingly cultivated this technique. Finally, one day, the technique was completed. I was able to ascend to become an immortal and was listed in the immortal class.”As he spoke, the old man was full of energy and looked like an immortal. I couldn't help but respect him.
"After I entered the celestial class, I couldn't let go of Huo Hu, who cultivated with me, so I kept a portion of my strength to preserve my physical body and waited here for a thousand years.”As Ol 'Amos spoke, he cast a reluctant gaze at Fox. Fox seemed to sense Ol' Amos's longing as she climbed up Ol 'Amos' knee and crouched down quietly.
"Waiting for a thousand years? Wait for what?" I asked reflexively.
I saw the old man looking at me with a smile." Could it be that you're waiting for me?”I couldn't help but blurt it out.
The old man nodded his head lightly, his face revealing a look of admiration.
"Why? Why did you wait for me? What for?" The more this was the case, the more I felt lost and at a loss. There must be a major reason why an immortal waited for a thousand years for a childish child like me. For a moment, I forgot the deliciousness of the fruit and just stared blankly at the old man.
"Hehe, I have to start from before I ascended to immortality.”Pausing for a moment, the old man continued," Before I ascended to immortality, in order to cultivate, I devoted myself to the Dao since I was young. I lived a boring life for hundreds of years, and I'm still a child. Because when I was cultivating, I once studied the theory of fate, so I had some achievements in the theory of fate.”
"Isn't it just fortune-telling?" I interrupted.
The old man shook his head gently." Hehe, it's not the same as your modern fortune-telling. Modern fortune-telling is based on some very simple knowledge of fortune-telling. It can predict the future without any preparation. The fortune-telling that I study is to be able to predict the future of myself and others clearly without any mistakes.”
"Then can I get out of here alive? Also, can Bing 'er and I be together in the future?”Hearing the old man say that his fortune-telling was very accurate, I couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Of course you will get out alive. Otherwise, why would I wait for you for a thousand years? As for you and Bing 'er…" At this point, the old man paused and his face darkened.
"There are some things that are waiting for you to slowly wait and experience. The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. After a year of hard work, you will know.”
"Oh, that's great. I can finally go out.”Hearing the news that I could survive, I couldn't help but jump up in joy. I didn't notice the old man's expression when he was talking about Bing 'er and me, nor did I understand the meaning behind his words.
The old man couldn't help but smile when he saw how happy I was. He continued," When I was with Fox, one day, I suddenly felt unsettled, so I began to count my fingers. I calculated that today, a thousand years later, you will have a part of my magic power. At the same time, you will help me experience the joy of life that I have never experienced before.”
"Old man! Is it because after I obtain your magic power, I will also be very powerful and can also become an immortal?”Hearing the old man's words, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Hehe, I can only impart a small portion of my magic power to you to help you complete the first level of the Transformation Divine Art. As for the subsequent progress, you can only rely on your own efforts to complete it. When the divine art is completed, it will also be the time for you to dominate the martial world! However, this will take some time. Ten years later, you will return here and complete your divine technique.”When the old man saw my excitement, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Ten years? That long?”When I heard the old man's words, I couldn't help but feel extremely depressed.
"This is not a problem. Although you will only be able to master your divine technique after ten years, the power you possess during this period of time has already surpassed many ordinary people.”The old man saw my dejected look and comforted me.
"That's good, that's good!" Hearing that I would be stronger than others, I couldn't help but feel happy again.
"When and how to impart the strength?”I asked eagerly.
"Heh, that's enough. We can pass on our strength now. After passing on your strength, I will order Huo Hu to send you to the top of the mountain. Ten years later, we will meet again! Also, these things are some of my insights before I ascended. You can take them back and slowly experience them!”The old man turned around and handed me two small books and a small bag.
I didn't even look at them and put them in my arms." Alright, let's begin!”
"The method of imparting power is very simple. I will use my mouth to transmit my power into your body. After that, for a period of time, my power will automatically change your body structure and achieve the first level of the Transformation Divine Art.”When the old man saw my anxious look, he explained the details of the strength imparting to me.
"Ah, doesn't that mean we have to talk mouth to mouth?”When I heard the old man's explanation, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
"Hehe, this is a necessary method for imparting strength.”The old man chuckled at me.
Ah, Bing 'er and I haven't even kissed yet, and this guy wants to take my first kiss. Not only is he a guy, but he's also an old man! I felt disgusted. However, for the future, for the sake of my strength, I couldn't care less about that. It was just kissing, and no one would see it anyway. I'll just treat it as a practice kiss with Bing 'er.
Thinking of this, I suppressed the disgust in my heart. I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, pouted, and moved closer to the old man's lips.
Finally, he wrote down the reason and beginning of the transformation divine art. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After that, it was time for our protagonist, Ru Feng, to shine!
[Special note: The inspiration for the Transformation Divine Art came from a martial arts novel I read in high school. I would like to recommend it here.]
"This novel was written by Senior Long Xiangzi. There are about ten sets in the entire series. I have only read a few of them.[Carefree Flower Master],[Nine Transformations of the Celestial Silkworm],[Sword of Desolation], and so on (I only remember the names of these books, hehe). The Transformation Divine Art was derived from the signature skill of Carefree Langzi, the Nine Transformations of the Celestial Silkworm. The North Divine Art of the Eight Heavenly Dragons also originated from the cultivation method created by the history of Carefree Langzi, Jiang Liuyang (too long ago, I can't remember the name clearly). If you are interested, you can look for it. I think it looks pretty good.
After a tiring night, I can finally have a good sleep. I will upload this chapter after waking up today. I hope everyone will support me in the future.
