Chapter 2: The Strange Old Man

The green hills are continuous, and a ten-year-old girl about ten years old sits in the shade under a big rock on the edge of the cliff on the mountainside, and a bamboo medicine basket is on the left hand side of the girl, in which some scattered herbs are piled up, and the fragrance of medicine comes from inside. The girl was holding an ancient book, and there were words in her mouth.

"Elemental messenger, gather the power of the elements of Vientiane, gather the body of the elements, in order to borrow the power of the elements, and carry out the power of changing the heavens and the earth" The girl read softly and sighed.

"It's been four years" There was helplessness in his low voice, the qualifications of his five elemental body could not even absorb the power of the elements, and the formation of an elemental cyclone became an unattainable dream.

After four years, Yuan Yi completely digested the memories in his brain and understood the world he lived in. It's called Tren, the continent of the Earth. The continent of Tren is very large, and it is many times larger than the Earth. The continent is mainly composed of four empires and countless small countries, each country has different customs, Yuan Yi's country is the Kyle Empire (one of the four empires), black hair and black eyes are the majority, and the buildings are mostly wooden and stone.

On this continent, elementals are the most respected beings, and only by becoming an elementalist can they become strong. In this world where the strong are respected, ordinary people who cannot cultivate elemental power are just objects of enslavement, and they cannot even control their own life and death. However, the Seven Great Families were the most powerful among the many elemental master families on the continent, supporting the four empires respectively. Because of the mutual hostage between the seven major families, the continent will be so calm, and there will be no war.

Over the long years, the cultivation methods of elemental masters have been varied, and each family has its own unique cultivation methods, but in general, it can be divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and human, and each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. If you want to exert the elemental power in your body, you must also supplement it with the corresponding elemental skills. The more advanced the elemental technique, the more powerful the elemental power can be exerted. After a long history, the various elemental techniques have been divided into two categories: martial arts and magic elemental techniques.

Of course, ordinary people who can't cultivate elemental power also have their own martial arts cultivation methods, but they can't be compared to elementals at all. As long as the elemental master forms an elemental cyclone, the body that has been cultivated by the elemental power for many years is not at the same level at all compared to ordinary and powerful martial artists.

The owner of this body, Liu Yuanyi, has the same name as her, the direct bloodline of the Liu family of the Seven Great Families, but it is an existence that the Liu family extremely dislikes. The constitution of the waste is destined to be devoid of the elementalists. Yuan Yi was very unwilling, the helplessness of the two lives, the despair of the young girl was vivid, clenched her hands, a touch of firmness flashed in her eyes, no matter how difficult it was, she had to persevere.

"What makes your quirky little girl sigh like this" Just when the girl was laughing at herself, a man in his thirties wearing a white robe, with a long and flowing body, and a handsome appearance, suddenly appeared on the boulder. Looking at the ancient book in the girl's hand, the man's eyes darkened slightly.

Xiao Yi is the most talented genius in pharmacology he has ever seen, and in just four years, his understanding of medicinal materials and the unique insights on the weight of medicine are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The spiritual power is even more unique, but it is a pity that it cannot gather the fire elemental power to reach the ground level. Otherwise, there is another genius in the alchemy world.

"Third uncle, you're back" Yuan Yi looked up at the man in front of him, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, come back and see if you have made progress" The man looked at Yuan Yi gently, his eyes full of love.

"Hehe, I'm very serious about studying the medical canon you left behind, and I've come up with several prescriptions. I'm waiting for you to come back for the experiment," Yuan Yi looked at the third uncle with sparkling eyes.

"I just want to use the third uncle," the third uncle said deliberately aggrieved. Ignoring the third uncle's tricks, Yuan Yi stretched out his finger and pointed to the opposite cliff.

"Third uncle, wait for me" said that Yuan Yi picked up the medicine basket on his back, shook his body and grabbed the vines on the cliff wall, his dexterous figure was as light as a spirit monkey, and he arrived at the opposite cliff wall seven or eight battles away in a few jumps. Wrapping vines around his body, he carefully dug out a blue crystal daffodil on the cliff wall with a small medicine hoe. After a few more jumps, he returned to the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the girl's lithe figure, the man nodded with satisfaction. For the little girl's efforts, he has always seen it. It may be that the experience of a teenager makes the six-year-old girl look calm like a little old man, and she either practices martial arts or learns medicine refining with herself every day. His second brother also doesn't know how to get along with little girls at all, and is as strict as educating boys. If you have elemental power, the future of a little girl's heart is limitless.

In my memory, the girl was seven years old, and she was helpless to explain to the girl that her physique was impossible to become an elemental master, and the girl sat down in despair, but this ye girl worked harder and more desperately in the past, and she and her second brother were very helpless in their eyes, the only thing worth being happy was that the girl seemed to have become active, at least she and her second brother were much closer than before.

"Girl, this is for you, you go back and take it immediately, you can completely repair your meridians. With your current physique, you can practice the sword technique left by your father in less than four years, at least below the ground level, and no one can beat it. Taking the delicate wooden box in the third uncle's hand, Yuanyi felt a sense of loss.

"Third uncle, are you and your father going out again?"

"Well, we will go out for a few more days, and I will leave Da Bai Xiao Bai behind" The man said with helplessness.

"You and Dad have to be careful," Yuan Yi said obediently. The man nodded slightly, and a few leaps disappeared into the verdant green hills.

Two years passed, and the early morning sun passed through the deep forest, and in a quiet, the occasional breeze drove the sound of the leaves rattling. Suddenly, there was a sparse sound in the distance, and the quiet demonic beasts around them all panicked and ran around. In the distance, two white figures flickered and flickered between the deep forests. Behind the white figure came a girl's unique coquettishness.

"Xiaobai, Dabai, don't run" I saw a light figure running dexterously between the grass and trees, chasing the two white shadows in front of him and jumping quickly from a distance. The girl is twelve or thirteen years old, with long black hair, and her facial features are not particularly outstanding, but a pair of bright eyes are as deep as the sea, she is like a bend of the moon, quiet and elegant, and people are deeply attracted by it.

Seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther away, the girl's eyes turned, and she shouted in a clear voice with a hint of grievance: "I was going to catch two magic bead rabbits for barbecue today, it seems that you don't want to eat them." ”

The two white figures in front of them slowly stopped and showed their figures, and they were two huge tigers as tall as adults, their bodies were snow-white, except for a strand of red hair on the tiger's head. Although the coercion from the tiger's body was still a child, the surrounding demonic beasts also scattered in terror. If outsiders see it, they will be surprised, the Demon Sword Tiger, adulthood is the existence of the holy beast, the king of the tigers. At this time, the two giant tigers shrugged their heads and looked at each other, both of them were deeply helpless and a little hopeful. The girl jumped a few times and stood in front of the two tigers, smiling with a little cunning.

"I told you not to run away, obediently, my sister will make you something to eat."

"Roar, roar......" Da Bai and Xiao Bai shook their heads aggrievedly. Xiaobai Dabai is the Warcraft partner of the third uncle's contract, and when he first came to the bamboo house at the foot of the Sunset Mountains, he saw these two big guys. Xiao Yuanyi almost fainted in fright, and thought he was going to eat himself. Later, my father explained that it was a monster that the third uncle specially left to take care of him.

For the sake of their own physique, the third uncle and father often have to look for medicinal herbs in various places. The one who has been with me for the longest time is Dabai Xiaobai. Da Bai and Xiao Bai now have the strength of a five-star king rank. When they reach adulthood and become sacred beasts, they can speak after receiving all the memories of their parents. But now Dabai Xiaobai also has a high level of wisdom.

"Try it today, I'll roast two rabbits for you"

"Roar" Da Bai raised his head coolly and compared his front paws.

"Deal, five" Yuan Yi and Da Bai glanced at each other, and after reaching an agreement, Yuan Yi looked at Xiao Bai with a sneer. Xiao Bai grimaced, obediently walked to Yuan Yi's side, and a soft white light rose to form a circular shield covering his huge body and Yuan Yi. Yuan Yi sat on the ground, raised his hands and placed them on his crossed legs, relaxed his breath, and entered the inner view to look at the elemental power of the five attributes of the dantian.

Although Yuan Yi can't absorb the power of the elements, he still insists on meditating and cultivating the Qi Sea every night, I don't know if it's been a long time, Yuan Yi's Elemental Qi Sea has not been formed, but the spiritual power has grown a lot to the point of internal vision. Neither Father nor Third Uncle had ever heard that mental power could increase so dramatically. It is generally determined by physical strength talent, unless there is a natural treasure, but that is also hard to find. But it's always a good thing, so it's not too reassuring.

Yuan Yi tried to make the five elements rotate and fuse and compress quickly, trying to absorb the surrounding elemental forces. Slowly, the surrounding elemental power slowly gathered with the rotation of the dantian. A huge pain came from the dantian, cold sweat broke out on Yuan Yi's forehead, he gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and with a bang, the elemental power in the dantian suddenly exploded, and the chaotic elemental air rushed into the fragile inner mansion of his body. A soft blue light flowed through Yuan Yi's body, and the destroyed dantian was slowly nourished and repaired.

"Still failed" sighed lowly, stunned for a while, retracted his mind, and Yuan Yi lay on the ground without strength, very tired. It's been six years since I came to this world, and I'm still so weak, no matter how much I pay, does God let me live again, just to see how I struggle to live?

Take a break and feel your strength regain a little. Yuan Yi looked at the six half-meter-long magic bead rabbits under Da Bai and Xiao Bai, and his mouth was deflated. Resigned to his fate, he first broke the body of the Magic Bead Rabbit and cleaned it with a small white water element, and then used flint to raise six fires and set up a fire frame. Watching Xiaobai Dabai skillfully flip the rabbit meat on the fire shelf with his paws, Yuan Yi took out a bunch of bottles and cans from the small cloth bag in his arms and sprinkled them neatly on the rabbit meat. These seasonings are made by myself based on the memories of my past life, and I found similar plants in the deep forest. A burst of aroma came from the barbecue grill, causing Xiaobai Dabai to salivate.

"It's so fragrant, I want one for a little girl" I saw a distortion in the air, and a dirty old man in tattered clothes suddenly appeared. He had a dirty white beard, and his clothes were full of holes, and there were some dried blood stains in a few places. The old man stared at the barbecue with blazing eyes, but he barely left saliva. Yuan Yi looked at the old man and felt that he was an old naughty boy who had come out of the TV in his previous life.

"Old man, you go catch one yourself" Yuan Yi was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with the old man, but looking at the old man's starving ghost reincarnation, he reluctantly changed his words and said, didn't the old man find the anger of the big white and the little white, but the big and small white are also abnormal, and they dare not speak out, and it seems that the old man is very strong.

"Let these two little tigers go, the old man is in pain all over my body now, and I am not considerate and considerate of the old man" The old man played a scoundrel, and lay on the ground as if he had no bones. Da Bai Xiao Bai glared at the old man angrily, assessed the strength of the other party and resigned himself to it, a good tiger can bend and stretch.

Flames jumped in the fire, and branches crackled. The two of them, who were full of wine and food, were lying on the grass on their backs. Yuan Yi picked up a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the blue sky above his head, and there was a sense of satisfaction for no reason. Everything in the world has become small but so beautiful, it's good to be alive, unconsciously hooked the corners of my mouth, the loss just now is gone, I have to believe that I am alive as long as I am alive.

"What are you laughing at, little girl," the old man turned his head and looked at Yuan Yi curiously.

"It's nothing, I just think it's good to be alive," Yuan Yi said frankly. This girl is quite interesting. It's been a long time since I've met such a simple doll, and the group of boys in the family are all fascinated by power and force. It's a pity that the talent physique is a little worse.

"Then this stone is for you, don't say that the old man eats your barbecue for nothing. This is the treasure that the old man had just dug out of his lair after a few days and nights of fighting with Farsir. The old man rummaged through his body and found a black broken stone, and mysteriously threw it to Yuan Yi.

Holding the black stone, Yuan Yi felt a clear spirit, and the other feelings were not unusual. But since it was kindly given, I still have to say thank you. Just as he was about to say something, the space around the old man distorted and disappeared out of thin air, and the old man's old but energetic voice gradually dispersed.

"Little girl, goodbye." Yuan Yi looked at the empty clearing, pursed his lips, and smiled indifferently. The strange old man gathered his mind and prepared to continue practicing swordsmanship with Da Bai and Xiao Bai. If you want to be yourself alone, strength is the only bargaining chip in this world of the jungle. The last ray of light disappeared, and as night fell, Yuan Yi finally let go of Da Bai and Xiao Bai and went home from the mountain.

The village of Labdor is unusually quiet at night, with scattered lights shining through the dilapidated huts. At the westernmost end of the town, closest to the Sunset Mountains, there is a fine little bamboo house. After waking up from Yuanyi, he left the family with his father and lived in a small bamboo house at the foot of the Sunset Mountain Range where the third uncle lived alone in order to collect medicine.

It is said to be a small bamboo house, but it is actually not small, with a total of four. In the past, because the third uncle lived alone, the other three were used as warehouses and pharmacies, but now the third uncle has vacated two rooms for the father and daughter. The open space to the left of the small bamboo house has been reclaimed and turned into several medicinal fields, and all kinds of strange herbs grow luxuriantly. From the right to the door, there is a turquoise lake surrounding, and the small forest in front of the lake separates the hut from the residents of the village outside, which is extraordinarily quiet.

"Dad, third uncle, I'm back"

Yuan Yi called loudly on the wooden bridge on the lake, but did not respond. A trace of gloom flashed through the bottom of their hearts, and it was estimated that they had gone out to look for medicinal herbs again. When I returned to my room, I saw the note left by my dad on the table. Xiaoyi, I will go out with your third uncle for a few days. You should be careful and take care of your body.

Yuan Yi felt very lost, and he had paid too much for his father and third uncle. Knowing that he wanted to become an elementalist and wanted to become stronger, his father and third uncle had to enter the Sunset Mountain Range every once in a while to find an elixir to solve their physique, and every time they came back covered in scars. Looking at their hopeful eyes again and again, disappointed again and again. Yuan Yi could only endure it silently in his heart, not daring to show half a point.
