In a secluded valley outside Dark Night City, the wooden door of an extremely simple thatched cottage was wide open. The setting sun shone through the open door, illuminating the originally golden grass inside. An old man with white hair and a youthful face sat on an old bench. The dark green liquid in the table and cup released a fragrant fruit fragrance. It mixed with the natural smell that was everywhere in the house, creating an environment that was particularly colorful with the passage of time.
"This fruit juice really has a very beautiful taste. I didn't expect the originally slightly sour green fruit to have such a huge change in taste after being squeezed into juice. I just don't know how long I can enjoy such a beautiful taste.”
Elder Yun lowered his head and looked at the juice in front of him, as if he wanted to find out how the original sour taste would change after being squeezed into juice.
At this time, Xiao Chen was sitting on the threshold and looking at the setting sun on the horizon. He wanted to open his eyes as much as possible so that he could see the beauty of the entire setting sun. Under his full concentration, he did not understand Elder Yun's words for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, he turned around and looked at Elder Yun.
"Teacher, you still have a long time! There's no need to worry about it now."
"I squeezed the green fruit into juice. After a period of time, the sour taste disappeared a lot, and the taste was also very different.”
Elder Yun sipped on the delicious green fruit juice and squinted his eyes to enjoy the warm glow of the setting sun. He looked very lazy.
" You're right. Sometimes, those with sharp edges have to suffer a huge setback before they understand the hardships of this world. It's not easy to survive. Those sharp edges that were originally so sharp that they wanted to stab people were also smoothed out by this setback. They were completely smooth and integrated into this world.”
"It sounds very reasonable.”Xiao Chen leaned against the threshold and sat up straight. He knew what his teacher meant, but he couldn't comment on whether it was good or bad.
"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you.”
Elder Yun slapped his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something. His gaze shifted from the cup to Xiao Chen's face as he slowly spoke to him.
"I originally thought that you wouldn't be able to deal with the Iron-armored Earth Dragon so quickly, but since you've already broken through to the Spiritual Grandmaster realm, the Iron-armored Earth Dragon won't be of much use to you anymore. Therefore, you should go back and prepare well these few days. In a short period of time, we will go to the White Bone Plains and let you have a good experience there.”
Training in the White Bone Plains? Elder Yun's words reminded Xiao Chen of something. Four years ago, when Elder Yun had left him in the valley to accompany the third grade spirit beast, the Iron-armored Earth Dragon, he had told him that as long as he could defeat the Iron-armored Earth Dragon, he would bring him to the White Bone Plain to experience the real, cruel battle.
It was only at that time that he felt a little excited about this experiential learning, but he was kicked into the sealed valley by his teacher. When he came out again, he was already on his last breath. His entire body was covered in bruises, and he did not even have the strength to move his eyelids, let alone remember what Elder Yun had told him.
"Alright! Actually, I've long wanted to go outside and see for myself. This White Bone Plain is also a very good choice.”
Xiao Chen smiled. Although the soul in his previous life had never experienced a small battle, most men were full of passion and fighting spirit. However, his slightly immature face successfully concealed his natural fighting spirit and bloodlust, as well as the experience of two lives that no one could imagine.
"Hehe, not a bad place. There aren't many places…"
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't seem to care, Elder Yun smiled and muttered softly," Not bad, not bad."
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Squeak!
A long, tooth-numbing sound was heard, and the door of the Dark Night City's City Lord's Mansion opened.
Xiao Chen walked in briskly. Although it was almost evening, the servant guarding the door still respectfully opened the door and watched her walk into the City Lord's Mansion with a little respect.
Ever since the crisis that almost destroyed the family was resolved by him and his teacher, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that the surrounding servants, and even the people of the Xiao family, had automatically lost all the disdain and contempt in their eyes when they looked at him. The mocking words had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a kind of unconcealable respect and envy.
Facing this gaze that was even more respectful than before he took the psychic test, Xiao Chenque was calm. He did not show any signs of showing off his power once he had gained power, and beat up those who had bullied and mocked him in the past, making them suffer.
After that day, Xiao Chen's life was still as calm as ever.
However, during these four years, he would leave at sunrise and return at sunset almost every day. He would receive Elder Yun's guidance and training, fight with the Iron-armored Earth Dragon, and then heal his injuries. After his injuries were almost healed, he would go home to rest. Xiao Chen arranged the time period in an orderly manner.
Although in the beginning, he was often unable to return to rest because of his serious injuries, there was no one waiting for him to return because of this City Lord's Estate. Even his parents had their own lives, so it was not a bad thing if he could not return.
However, when he met other members of the Xiao family, their attitude towards Xiao Chen had changed from indifference to intimacy, especially some girls. The way they called Xiao Chen was always sweet, making people feel weak all over. However, Xiao Chen had already seen the true colors of these people. No matter how respectful they were, he maintained a respectful attitude.
Today, these people could mock him because of his talent. In the future, they could also become cold and distant like strangers because of his loss of power. This kind of snobbish betrayal, it was enough for him to suffer once.
Quietly walking past the clan's martial arts field, Xiao Chen's gaze casually looked at the clan guards who were still working hard to cultivate. Wherever his gaze landed, those youths all revealed respectful expressions. Suddenly, a kind of estrangement appeared in his heart. Perhaps, it was really time for him to leave this house.
Xiao Chen walked towards the residence where the family head worked and lived. He ignored the servants who were bowing to him. Although the respectful gazes made him feel a little uncomfortable, after a long time, he didn't feel anything.
At the highest point in the entire City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Potian was standing in front of the window. He looked at Xiao Chen walking towards him with a gratified expression. A trace of pride and glory surged in his chest.
"Perhaps the best thing I did in my life was not to let Chen 'er completely imprison him to protect him after he failed the spirit channeling test. I also did not let him have too much of an estrangement towards me…"
In the beginning, after knowing that his son's spirit was a skeleton, Xiao Potian had thought of completely imprisoning Xiao Chen in the family to protect him from harm from the outside world. However, in the end, under the dissuasion of his wife, Chu Yiyun, he gave up on this idea. It was also because of this abandoned idea that he saved himself and the entire Xiao family.
"Father, I have something to tell you.”
Just as Xiao Potian was sighing with emotion, Xiao Chen had already pushed open the door and walked in.
"Teacher asked me to go to the White Bone Plain with him in a few days. He said that he wanted to train well, so he came to tell you not to worry about you and mother.”
"What is it? White Bone Plain?"
Xiao Potian, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression when he heard his son's words. His pair of bright eyes flickered with a fear that Xiao Chen had never seen before.
"That's right! It was the White Bone Plain. Why? Wasn't it a good place to cultivate?”
Hearing the fear in his father's words, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel surprised. Even the battle four years ago that almost wiped out his clan didn't make him lose his color. Could it be that this White Bone Plain wasn't what Elder Yun had said, that it was a good place to cultivate?
"Yes, if we're talking about cultivation, even if it's not the best place on the entire continent, it's at least one of the best.”
Xiao Potian bitterly smiled, seemingly somewhat helpless about Xiao Chen's explanation regarding the White Bone Plain.
"However, the White Bone Plain is one of the most dangerous places in the entire continent. If one doesn't have enough power, going there would be sending 'delicious' food to the endless high grade spirit beasts.”
" Fourteen years ago, I went to the outskirts of the White Bone Plains with a few friends who were all Spirit Grandmasters. Even though it was just the outskirts, countless First and Second Grade Spiritual Beasts surged towards us like a tide. At that time, one of my friends was trapped in the group of Spiritual Beasts and his Spiritual Energy was drained until he died. The rest of us spent a lot of effort to escape. The scene of that day is still fresh in my mind.”
A few Spirit Ancestors were actually beaten to the point of fleeing in the outskirts of the White Bone Plain. One of them even lost his life. Xiao Chen could not imagine what kind of torture he would suffer inside after he had just broken through to the Spirit Ancestor realm. Perhaps, it would be even more tragic than being thrown into the valley by his teacher to accompany that Iron-armored Earth Dragon four years ago.
"Yes, I've already reached the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm. Besides, Teacher is with me, so it's not a big deal for me to go and challenge him.”
Thinking of Elder Yun's unfathomable cultivation, Xiao Chen gradually calmed down. Since the peak third grade spirit beast, the Iron-armored Earth Dragon, had been captured by his teacher like a puppy to be his training partner, it was not that scary to go to the White Bone Plain under his teacher's protection.
