Chapter 262: The Small Mountain Village

g Chen's words, no longer concealed herself and took off her straw hat.Seeing Mengyao was like a dream. Although he had prepared himself, he was still quite excited.Meng Yao spoke, "I never expected t...On the other side, a corner on the street.

Duanmu Xing and Duanmu Baixue crouched there, staring longingly at a noodle stall across the street.

The two looked at others chattering away as they ate noodles, their faces full of envy and longing.

Duanmu Baixue couldn't help but say, "Brother, how about we sell some treasures and exchange them for spirit stones"

Du Mu Xing didn't even think before shaking his head: "No, the remaining treasures are all extremely precious, none of them can be lost."

"Then you gave him the Starry Box!" Dumu Bai Xue said.

"He needs it, and you wouldn't want him to die, would you"

"Who! Who said that!"

Dumu Bai Xue blushed and defended herself.

Moments later, she asked, "Brother, are you so certain he'll jump off the cliff"

Dumu Xing nodded without a doubt, saying: "He is destined to face this tribulation, and it should be happening soon."

It was precisely because he calculated that Fang Chen would encounter this tribulation that he gave him the Starry Box.

It seems your calculations have improved, brother.

That's right. Duanmu Xing said proudly.

"Then have you ever calculated how your sister would be starving here with you!" Duanmu Bai Xue said, pouting.

Duan Mu Xing's triumphant expression froze instantly.

"He coughed dryly and said, 'As a cultivator seeking the Tao, you should know how to fast. Learn with me, sink your Qi into your dantian, tighten your belt.'"

"I don't want to! If I can't even eat delicious food, what fun is there in this path of cultivation!" Duanmu Bai Xue said coquettishly.

Cliff edge.

With the help of the Starry Box, Fang Chen quickly refined the spiritual energy within his body and once again reached a stable state with the chaotic spiritual energy.

Just like that, the spirit flow layer that he had thought was about to die, passed through this state with ease.

Gazing at the Spirit Stream above, Fang Chen still couldn't quite believe it.

"Just like that, it's done"

"Looks like I owe Brother Duanmu a favor," he quipped.

If it weren't for Duanmu Xing, I'm afraid it would take a huge price to get through this tribulation.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, the spiritual energy that had been refined within him suddenly surged with agitation! It permeated his entire body and bones!

A sudden, intense pain ripped through Fang Chen's body, making his already grievous injuries even worse.

Fang Chen spat out several mouthfuls of blood, trying to stabilize the turmoil within his body, but the pain was simply too excruciating. Even with an unyielding heart, he couldn't resist it. The impact knocked him unconscious mid-air, and he continued to plummet downward.

Northern Yuan territory, Jie Cliff, a small mountain village.

The village was inhabited only by ordinary people, with just three or ten households. The villagers lived off the mountain, relying on it for sustenance.

And beyond the village of Sān Lǐ, a young girl skipped through the fields, carrying a bundle of firewood nearly her own size on her back.

The little girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her clothes were patched and torn, and covered in dirt, making her look quite messy.

That thin frame spoke of a life that wasn't easy, but her face was always lit with a smile. She held a small red flower in her hand, seeming quite happy.

The little girl's name was Xiaoyu, she was just from the small village on the mountain.

Bang!

Suddenly!

A meteor streaked across the sky and crashed violently a hundred meters away from Xiaoyu.

The ground shook violently! Smoke filled the air! It swept westward.

Xiao Yu fell to the ground, clutching her head in fear.

After a while, the awe had subsided, and she dared to lift her head, tilting it curiously towards where the meteor had fallen.

"That's a shooting star!"

Xiao Yu excitedly jumped up and skipped towards where the shooting star was!

Before long, she came to a pit from which the smoke had just cleared.

The chasm before us was fifty feet wide, and its depth was over thirty feet.

But Xiaoyu wasn't afraid, instead she was a little excited and immediately climbed down.

Staggering to the center of the deep pit, she thought it would be a glittering meteor. But when she saw what had fallen, she was stunned.

Because it was a person!

"Huh Why would it be a person"

"He seems to be hurt"

Xiaoyu had a puzzled expression on her face, but when she saw Fang Chen injured, she immediately became anxious.

Seven days later, the small village.

Everyone in the village knew that a wounded young man had come to Xiaoyu's home.

This young man was handsome, but his whole body was burned like he had been in a fire. His wounds were all over, making it a shocking sight to behold.

Many children, after seeing it, were even more frightened and cried out in terror.

Fortunately, the young man knew he was frightening people, so he rarely appeared at Xiao Yu's mother's house.

But his arrival still caused a stir among the villagers.

Xiaoyu's house backyard has a big stone.

On a large stone sat a young boy, his entire body covered in burn scars, meditating with closed eyes.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and let out a soft sigh.

"The dantian was destroyed by that chaotic spiritual energy, and it would probably take half a month or so to recover."

Although the physical injuries were severe, the powerful body of a demon god recovered in just a few days. It even had the potential to advance to a higher level.

"However, I can't use the Dao Realm now, I can only rely on the Mortal Body Realm. But in this small village with no cultivators, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Ye Ling, is that you Wait until I recover, and I will take your life!"

The boy gritted his teeth.

And this person naturally is Fang Chen.

Although he fainted halfway through the fall, he survived thanks to his physical prowess and divine demon body.

But the next day he woke up, only to find his injuries were too severe; it wasn't until two days later that he could walk.

As for the hideous scars on his body, he didn't mind them too much.

Once he has fully recovered and absorbed two drops of essence blood, all these problems will be solved.

"Brother Fang!"

A shout echoed, and Xiao Yu skipped excitedly to stand below Fang Chen.

Fang Chen saw Xiao Yu coming and broke into a smile: "Xiao Yu, are you coming up"

“Want, want, want! Brother Fang, hug me up! Hug me up!”

Xiaoyu flashed a sweet smile and coquettishly said.

After arriving there, he was initially treated like an exhibit by the villagers, who pointed and stared at him.

Because of the scars on his body, he was met with scorn.

Only Xiao Yu and his mother, Jade, never developed any aversion to him because of his injuries. Not only did they take good care of him, but they also gave him more of their already limited food.

From Yu's mouth, Fang Chen learned that Xiaoyu had a high fever when she was young, which caused her mental development to stay at the age of eight.

"Good"

Fang Chen smiled and picked up Xiaoyu, placing her on the stone.

"Wow! Brother is so amazing! I also want to be as amazing as brother!" Little Jade said excitedly.

Fang Chen still smiled: "When Xiaoyu grows up, she can be like her older brother."

"Is that so!"

Xiao Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she beamed with happiness: "Then Xiao Yu wants to grow up quickly! To be as strong as her brother!"

Fang Chen nodded and said, "There will be such a day."

"You two, come down for dinner!"

At this time, Yu's voice came from inside the house.

Then Fang Chen hugged Xiaoyu and landed inside the house.

Jade has already made mashed potatoes and placed them on the table.

Wow! Mashed potatoes!

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up at the sight. Potato puree was a rare delicacy for her on weekdays.

Since Fangchen came, she could eat her favorite mashed potatoes almost every day.

Fang Chen understood that this was not because the Yu family's mother and daughter were living well, but because they had taken out all the food they had prepared for the New Year to entertain him.

He also knew that because his father had passed away early, the jade family depended on each other for survival. They were often bullied in the village, which was truly miserable.

Especially Jade, not only does she have to take care of Little Jade but also farm to support her whole family.

Now in his late twenties, he appears remarkably thin and aged, like a woman of fifty.

Fang Chen could clearly sense that the life force within Yu Shi was about to be depleted. In another two or three years, she would undoubtedly die.

"Xiao Yu, you are growing so fast now. Eat more."

Fangchen shared some mashed potatoes from his bowl with Xiaoyu.

"Thank you, big brother!" Xiaoyu smiled innocently.

"Mother Jade, you should eat more too. Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days.

Fang Chen gave some to the Yu family.

Yù shì originally wanted to refuse, but Fāng Chén was very insistent, and she could only accept.

When they were almost done eating, Fang Chen asked: "Jade Mother, I wonder which direction is the nearest city"ks!The moment it was formed! A gigantic skull burst from within the hull of the ship! It opened its massive jaws and swallowed the mass of essence blood whole!The next moment, the behemoth burst out f...
