C30 (1/2)

It was night and the stars in the sky were scattered in all directions. The crescent moon looked especially cold. It seems that I haven't looked at the sky outside the valley for too long. As I look at it, I recall a few memories.

I looked up for a long, long time.

He laughed self-deprecatingly. He had already lost the past, there was no need for him to linger any longer.

I raised my head to the sky and roared. Suddenly, I opened my mouth and inhaled. The Spiritual Qi within a radius of countless zhang was all sucked dry by me in one gulp!

When Sky Bearing Immortal Emperor was here, I didn't dare to be so bold. Now, I'm the only one here. I want to experience the feeling of absorption that I haven't experienced for so long, and I want to experience this comfort!

After sucking in a mouthful of air, I slowly exhaled. After exhaling for a few dozen breaths of time, I violently sucked in another mouthful of air. The recovered spiritual energy was sucked dry by me once again. After repeating this several times, my dark, wrinkled skin slowly became smooth. My dry, wilted hair also gradually became alive, dancing in the wind. The most important thing is that I can feel the spiritual qi I absorb slowly condensing in my dantian. Under the guidance of my cultivation technique, it condensed into a light yellow soybean-sized elixir.

When I opened my eyes, my eyes felt like they were on fire. I felt like I had never felt this strong before!

Stepping into the Spiritual Movement Stage and reaching the Spiritual Pills, I didn't feel happy at all. He didn't know how long he had been in the valley. Under normal circumstances, this progress might have been possible.

I don't want the people from the Sky Sect to know that I've come out. Right now, I am not strong enough to contend against him.

Slowly, I took a step in the direction of the Sky Sect. I'm already here. I have time, and gradually, I'll be able to move forward. I'll turn the sky upside down!

I don't have any money on me. I don't even have a place to stay on the road. Fortunately, I don't seem to be tired, so I don't need to rest. However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I didn't use a single drop of Spiritual Energy and only relied on my body to travel in this mortal world.

”Uncle, may I ask why?” ”How many years is it now?”

A farmer on the way looked at me in surprise. He paused and said, ”I'm not a local, but a refugee?”

”Refugees?” I looked at myself. I was black, ragged, and stained with blood, and my hair was disheveled. I looked like a refugee.

”Ah, that's right. May I ask, what year is Uncle in now?”

”Oh, he really is a refugee. He must be from that desert city. Sigh, there have been so many refugees during this time. The drought is really scary. A good city is basically empty. Sigh, it's been hard on the people.”

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. ”Uncle, may I ask, what year is it now?”

”Oh, oh, oh, look at my memory.” The old man smacked his forehead, ”Now is the Di Kingdom's Heavenly Treasure 742. This is Rong City. When the Emperor heard about the drought in Desert City, he was furious. Several officials went by. Did you know, this …”

I shook my head. ”Thank you for your advice, Uncle. I still have things to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer.” He quickly left.

The uncle's concerned voice came from behind, ”Be careful, little brother. Don't get caught in the cold. There's a refugee relay station not far ahead. There are people that don't need money when resting, and there's even food …”

I took a deep breath and quickened my pace. When I looked back, the old man was still waving. When did the Di Kingdom become so enthusiastic?

After walking for a short while, I actually met a relay station that provided free food and water. There were also many refugees who were similar to me eating steamed buns and drinking water with a tired expression. I didn't stop and kept walking.

”This little brother, is he a fortune-teller?”

I turned my head and saw that it was an ordinary looking old man. He had a banner in his right hand with the words ”God Calculates the Man” written on it, and his left hand was stroking his three-inch gray beard. If it wasn't for the fact that he was missing a front tooth, he would look a little wretched.

”I don't have any money.” I spread out my hands, shook my head, and started to leave.

”Sigh, forget it. This time, fate has brought us together, so I won't take your money.” The old man looked like he was about to suffer a loss due to his good intentions.
