C1 Dauricula fructus
The Great Dao was fifty, the number of Heaven's Birth was forty-nine.
Grand Dao cultivators were the most powerful. However, the world had changed. The humans had forgotten everything that had happened in the past, and had lost their core. The Heavenly Palace also forcefully carried out a mission, annihilating a true god of the mortal world and causing a counterattack from hell. From then on, both sides were injured, the mortal world was miserable, and demons and ghosts bullied the human race.
The Douluo Continent. The world of experts who revered power. Strong, ascend to the peak, grasp the power of life and death in this world. Weak, reduced to a chopping block of fish, life and death do not depend on oneself.
Luo Feng Town, a small town in a remote area of Emperor Dragon Dynasty.
"Pah!"
In a small, dilapidated courtyard, a whip fiercely lashed down on a child around the age of ten, causing his clothes to be ripped apart and blood to spurt out.
The child's body was filthy and his clothes were ordinary. They had already been washed until they turned white. His face was covered with dirt, but right now, he was obediently lowering his head. Even though he was beaten up quite badly, he did not let out a single cry of pain. He even staggered from the whip, but he quickly straightened his body.
"Clap clap!"
The one who was swinging the whip was a woman who was around twenty years old. She was pretty and not too beautiful, but she was also pretty. At this moment, she was clenching her teeth and whipping with all her strength.
After a full fifty strikes, the girl finally stopped.
"Xiao Zhi, did you know your wrongs?" The woman's voice was slightly trembling, but her expression was very fierce, and she had an expression of disappointment.
"Elder sister, I'm sorry. Xiao Zhi knows she was wrong." The child obediently lowered his head, not daring to look up at the young woman.
"What's wrong with you?" the woman asked again.
"Xiao Zhi should not go and play with the monkeys." The child still did not dare to raise his head as he whispered.
"Pah!" The whip fell once more, causing the child to stagger.
"There's more!" The woman's voice was stern.
"I didn't cultivate properly." The child's body trembled as he hurriedly said. His back was covered in bruises, and blood was seeping out from many places.
"Do you know why I hit you?" The woman took a deep breath, and her gaze was deep. There were too many secrets hidden.
"Xiao Zhi doesn't know." The child vaguely replied.
"Because you are different from other children. They can play around with you, they can always play, they can not learn anything, they can always be ordinary and muddle-headed for the rest of their lives. "But you, you can't!"
The woman finished speaking and her voice became even louder. She sternly said, "You are not like the other children. You have too many things to do. You won't have friends in your life, and you won't have love. The only value you have in your life is revenge, revenge. Do you understand?! "
"Xiao Zhi understands."
The child was stunned, but there were too many questions in his heart.
Revenge? What revenge?
I'm just a kid. Why can't I play? Why am I different from them?
When playing, I am just as happy as Monkey, Dog and the others.
The child wanted to ask these questions, but he knew that once he asked, his sister would definitely continue to beat him.
"Now, I'm not going to cultivate!"
The woman shouted harshly. The whip in her hand trembled, scaring the child. He did not even bother to take care of his injuries as he quickly ran to the side and sat down cross-legged on a stone mill.
As the child sat down, the space behind him began to ripple and strange indistinct patterns appeared within it. It looked extremely strange.
Seeing this, the woman's expression finally eased up.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zhi and his sister were not people from Luo Feng Town. They had arrived here six years ago, and the girl was not his blood sister. Since the time Xiao Zhi could remember, the two of them had lived together and called each other brother and sister.
The woman's name was Liu Yi, and Xiao Zhi's full name was Gao Zhi. Xiao Zhi had once asked his parents, and the woman had only told him that his parents were very far away, where he would be able to see them once he grew up. Perhaps because if he asked too much, Gao Zhi would no longer ask, and he would slowly forget about this matter.
In today's situation, although Liu Yi would occasionally say the words "revenge", he had never explained it to her. Because she was afraid of Liu Yi's whip, Xiao Zhi did not dare to ask too many questions.
When night fell, Xiao Zhi fell into a deep slumber.
Liu Yi appeared beside Xiao Zhi's bed without making a single sound. She gently untied Xiao Zhi's clothes, took out a porcelain bottle, and poured out some medicinal ointment that exuded a delicate fragrance onto Xiao Zhi's body.
The comfortable coldness coming from his body immediately made Gao Zhi moan, roll over and continue his deep sleep.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhi, it's not that big sister is ruthless. Regardless of whether or not you can take revenge in the future, I still hope that you have the ability to protect yourself and live a good life. "
Liu Yi pursed her red lips, a glint flashed in her eyes and sparkling tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Cough!"
Liu Yi's body suddenly trembled intensely. Afraid that she would wake up the sleeping Gao Zhi, she immediately covered her mouth with her jade hands. With a flash, he left the bedroom. Her movements were extremely fast and light, and her speed was much faster than that of the nimble birds.
Outside the bedroom, under the slightly dim light, a pool of black blood appeared in Liu Yi's white, jade-like hands.
"Is there not much time left?"
Liu Yi muttered to herself, her expression becoming more and more dejected. As she turned her head to look at Gao Zhi's sleeping room, his gaze was very gentle, but even more so, it was filled with worry.
"Go beg him again. If he is willing to help us, even if Xiao Zhi cannot take revenge, we can at least live our lives peacefully."
Liu Yi said softly, and her eyes immediately became stern and cold.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Yi turned into a wisp of smoke and appeared in the courtyard, disappearing into the night.
This was an ordinary house, but Liu Yi knew what kind of person lived here. Outside the courtyard, Liu Yi paused for a moment, then walked in.
"You, are here again."
An impatient voice sounded before Liu Yi could enter.
"Senior, I beg you, for the sake of the old master and his wife's past relationship, to teach them their only son."
Liu Yi stood outside and said respectfully.
"Humph, how many times do you need this old man to say it before you understand? If I teach that kid, won't he bring trouble to me when he truly understands? Even an idiot would not do such a thing. "
The voice in the room became increasingly impatient and suddenly became cold and harsh.
"The Old Master's wife could be considered to have saved your life back then. However, Senior, with your strength, very few people would have been able to harm you." But at that time, you did indeed meet with misfortune. "
Liu Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, she just stood straight and straight.
Hearing this, the room fell silent. After a long while, a cold laugh could be heard, "That's because they're meddling in other people's business. This old man did not ask them to save me."
"You really don't care about old friendships?"
Liu Yi squinted, and her tone became cold.
"Take care of yourself. With your current situation, you'll only live for at most a year or so." The people in the room were still unmoved, and pointed out Liu Yi's own condition.
"Heh heh, what a joke. A person like you is actually revered by the people of the continent. Dao Lord Tianyun? I think they deserve their reputation. "
Liu Yi sneered, once she said those words, it could be said that she had torn off all decorum.
"Little girl, are you seeking death?"
A skinny old man directly appeared in front of Liu Yi. The old man looked like he was an old farmer with a pair of eyes that were deep and profound like canyons, but his gaze was like lightning.
"You are merely a cultivator from the domineering state Realm, how dare you speak to this old man in such a manner? If it was back then, I would have already turned you into ashes with a single palm strike. "
Dao Lord Tianyun glared at Liu Yi coldly with overbearing arrogance.
"If you want to kill me, then just do it. Why put on airs?"
Liu Yi sneered, showing no fear. The difference in strength between the two was like the difference between clouds and mud. With that, she turned around and left, not even bothering to spare the other party another glance.
"Wait a moment."
Dao Lord Tianyun's face changed multiple times. Seeing Liu Yi turn around, she thought for a moment and said indifferently: "Little girl, you're right. That couple back then did indeed save my life. In terms of emotion and logic, this old man should repay some of it. "
After a pause, he said: "Do you know the Dao Fruit Rain?"
"The Rain Flower of the Dao Fruit is a rare treasure in this world, and everyone knows about it. The effect of this technique will be able to build a solid foundation for the cultivators that have just started cultivating, allowing the level of the 'Accumulation Path' to be incomparably stable. In the future, one will definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the work. "
Liu Yi slowly said, "In the future when the 'dao diagram' appears, its power will definitely not be something an ordinary person can compare to."
"How much is it worth?"
"Priceless." Liu Yi looked at Dao Lord Tianyun in confusion. She didn't know why the other party would bring up this topic. Although this Dao Fruit Rain Flower was only useful to those who had just started cultivating, because of its effects and rarity, it was extremely precious in the entire Douluo Continent. This was because it could easily create a true expert, possibly becoming a Dao Sovereign.
"Do you know how to use it?"
The corners of Dao Lord Tianyun's mouth curled up, containing a trace of ridicule within.
"The user must invite a cultivator with the strength of at least the domineering state realm and above to pulverize this fruit's rain flower, extract its essence, and pour it into the user's body so that it can be used. That tyrannical cultivator will also experience a great drop in strength because of this, and will need three to five years to recover."
Liu Yi replied smoothly. She came from a large power and was naturally familiar with these things.
"And if not?" Dao Lord Tianyun patiently continued to ask.
"Then the user has a certain chance of dying." Liu Yi frowned, but still answered the question.
"Not bad, you know it very well."
Dao Lord Tianyun suddenly laughed and took out a white jade box. The jade box was a foot long and two inches wide. As he opened it, a white flower lay within. The flower looked as if it had just been picked because it had been well-preserved.
"Dao Fruit Rain!"
Liu Yi was so shocked that she subconsciously moved closer to the old man.
"All these years, you kept saying that this old man owes you a favor. Today, this old man will give it to you as a gift. From now on, we will have nothing more to owe each other. It has nothing to do with this old one whether you live or die, and in the future, don't disturb this old one's peace and quiet. "
Dao Lord Tianyun immediately threw the priceless Dao Fruit Rain Flower and the jade case to Liu Yi, who quickly caught it.
"Oh, that's right. You won't have a chance to disturb me again."
Dao Lord Tianyun chuckled, his eyes full of ridicule and ridicule.
's eyes flickered, she looked at Dao Lord Tianyun for a long time, then looked at the 'Dao Fruit Rain' in her hands. Then, he solemnly kept the Dao Fruit Rain Flower and bowed to the Dao Lord Tianyun, "Thank you for your generous gift, senior."
"No need to thank me, I just want to see, as a cultivator who has just reached the tyrannical level, how will you use the Dao Fruit Rain that only cultivators of the overbearing level and above can use?"
Dao Lord Tianyun directly waved his hand, not accepting Liu Yi's gratitude at all.
"What's the difference between an extra year and an extra year?"
Liu Yi's pretty face had a smile blooming on it as she left the yard with light steps.
"Who in the world isn't afraid of death? Who could be an exception? Don't you want to cure your hidden injuries? "
The Dao Lord Tianyun sneered after Liu Yi left, and said with a low voice: "Although this' Dao Fruit Rain Flower 'is able to strengthen the foundation of those who have just cultivated, the process of strengthening the' Path of Accumulation ', creates an expert with unlimited potential out of thin air. But how could you not know the other effects? If a cultivator with a certain level of strength were to consume it himself, it could cure a hundred poisons and completely cure his internal injuries. It could even cause a person to lose their life. Furthermore, even if you are only at the tyrannical level now, it is possible for you to touch the boundaries of the Dao Breaking Stage Realm. "
"Live or die? Let this old man see how you choose. "
