Sky-mending Immortal Companions

"How can that be!"

"Master, how can I let you tell my fortune for free!"

The old woman's money had all been swindled away by those heartless swindlers. All the money they could take out was borrowed from them. Since Fu Yun knew all of this, how could he be willing to take her money?

"You've already thanked me and bowed to me. How can this be considered to be free of charge?"

"Heaven's gift, send this old man back. Remember, you cannot take this old man's money."

The old granny was heartbroken. She didn't know why, but the Divine Blessing standing by the side felt especially uncomfortable. It was as if she wanted to cry. Even without her senior brother's reminder, she wouldn't accept money from the old granny.

"Oh, got it!"

"Grandma, let's go!"

He left the signboard to eat, and he left the little pill with his senior brother to take care of it. Only then did he send the old woman back home.

Along the way, the old woman walked slowly and with difficulty. In order to get home early, she insisted on carrying her home.

"..."

It was almost dark, and Heaven had sent the old woman home.

During this period of time, Fu Yun had not left with his Scarlet Pill, nor had he given his life for anyone else.

"Heaven's Gift, do you want to know why I didn't take that old man's money?"

As it was rather late, the people on the street had dispersed. Fuyun did not ask him to continue asking for customers, but instead told him stories about the old woman.

The senior brother did not take the granny's money, and the god gave him the right to do so.

The moment he brought the old granny home, he saw that the old granny's house was completely destitute, and he felt extremely miserable. If he had seashells on him, he would have left them all to his grandmother.

"Senior brother, I know this grandma has had a hard time. She lacks money and food, and has no one to take care of her. We really shouldn't have collected money from her."

Actually, he didn't take the money because he pitied the old woman. For another reason, Fuyun never told the old woman the truth.

"Oh heavens' gift, I didn't take the money because I lied to her!"

His senior brother was teasing him, and he could accept it. His senior brother had cheated a pitiful old lady, and Heaven's Gift could not accept this fact no matter what. He was extremely shocked.

"What?"

"Senior Brother, what's going on?"

Even if Tian Ci did not pursue the matter, Fu Yun still planned to tell him the reason.

"Actually, her son is long dead. She will never see him again."

"I was worried that she wouldn't be able to take the blow after knowing the truth, so I didn't tell her the truth. I only hoped that she would be happy and live well."

"Heaven's Gift, remember, sometimes, the truth is very cruel, and lying is not necessarily wrong. Sometimes a white lie can reduce the occurrence of a tragedy. "

After learning the truth, God truly felt sorry for Grandma.

He felt even more sad when he thought of how happy his grandma was for the news of his son's survival.

At the same time, he understood why his senior had done this.

"Senior Brother, can we come back and see grandma in the future?"

When humans are alive, there is always hope. Only then would they work hard to live on.

After figuring out why Tian Ci asked such a question, Fu Yun lied again.

"As long as you're willing, you can come back and visit her in the future!"

Ever since the incident with the grandmother, this was the first time Tian Ci found out that her senior had long since set a rule of not charging money.

This rule was actually a lie, which was why he didn't charge money for it.

".. .."

After leaving the city for three days, it had been exactly one month since he left for Scarlet Pills.

In the past month, Chi Dan had not woken up once. He did not have to worry about it running all over the place. He could only carry it in his arms every day.

During the day, Chi Dan was the happiest. If it wasn't hugging his partner, then it was sleeping by the immortal master's side.

The happiest moment was during the day, and the most unfortunate moment was at night.

After tossing and turning, it would fall on its body if it was careless. In the past, it would have been able to resist for a bit, but ever since it advanced, it could only endure the bad habits of its companions.

Although it was very unlucky, after eating the spirit stones and sleeping for a period of time, its appearance had changed greatly and it was the most eye-catching change.

It was Tian Ci's first time seeing an animal that looked like a snake. It shed its old skin and grew a new layer of skin. The new skin was even redder and more attractive.

During the process of molting, the fur would be completely shed. Once again, brilliant and gorgeous fur would grow out, and the hair would be even more tenacious than before.

Not only that, there was a small lump growing in the middle of its skull.

At first, the small bag was not eye-catching, but after a month, it slowly revealed itself and became a sharp thorn.

At first, the spike was very soft, but it gradually became hard. Although it was still small, it didn't affect its overall beauty. Instead, it gave it a mysterious feeling.

Heaven could still see the changes on Little Dan's exterior. Although Heaven's Gift could not see them, it was still possible to guess a little.

During the past month, Little Dan's body had constantly been sweating, accompanied by a foul stench. From what he learned from his senior brother, these were the impurities that the Little Dan was expelling from his body.

Since its birth, it had either drunk the milk of beasts or eaten all kinds of meat. There were a lot of impurities in its body.

From the moment it opened its eyes, Heaven had taught it to walk and do all kinds of exercises, not having the slightest bit of fat on its body.

After a month of continuously expelling the impurities from its body, its skin and flesh had become even more compact.

The changes to his skin and flesh were just the most ordinary of changes.

Spirit Stones contained a lot of mineral impurities. After devouring, a portion of the useless impurities would be expelled from the body, while the other portion of useful impurities would be converted into special existence, absorbed into the bones and distributed throughout the body, causing them to be even tougher than before.

In the cultivation world, cultivators' physiques were not as strong as demon beasts', and the spiritual energy within spirit stones was tyrannical. Cultivators didn't dare to directly devour spirit stones, and they only dared to slowly absorb and refine spiritual energy from spirit stones into their own energy.

It was precisely because the demonic beast had a strong physique that allowed it to withstand the tyrannical spiritual energy that it would travel back and forth in its body. Therefore, the Scarlet Core had never thought of slowly absorbing the spiritual energy the moment it saw the spirit stone.

For the first time, spiritual stones were devoured by the tyrannical spiritual energy in its body, bringing it a great deal of pain.

However, the benefits were obvious. The meridians in his body had expanded significantly.

The benefits were not only the expansion of his meridians, but the spirit energy released by the spirit stones did not spill out at all. All the energy was stored inside his meridians for the time being.

The biggest advantage of this was that the violent energy had opened up a meridian, a meridian that was connected to its innate skill.

When the Spirit Stone entered its stomach, its powerful stomach function quickly corroded the structure of the Spirit Stone, causing the Spirit Stone to lose control over its stomach. After the Spirit Stone entered its stomach, its powerful stomach function quickly corroded the structure of the Spirit Stone.

Under the effects of the spirit stones, it had undergone a complete change.

Not only had he activated his innate skill, but he also had a horn growing out of his head. Don't underestimate this spike. This spike is a special way for it to attack energy.

All in all, Chi Dan had gained a lot this time.

Compared to Little Dan's gains, Heaven's Gift was also very unlucky.

Ever since Little Dan had eaten that spirit stone, his body had been sweating and still stank. He had been hugging Little Dan all day, and the stench on his body was unavoidable.

Although he showered and washed clothes everyday, as long as he held Little Dan in his arms, there would always be a terrible stench coming out of his clothes.

Not only that, the sweat on Little Dan's body turned crimson, red as blood. If he hadn't been a child, people on the street would have thought he had killed someone.

Originally, it had been difficult for him to start a business. But now, his clothes were always stained with "blood" and a foul stench. People on the street couldn't avoid it, and no one wanted to get close to him.

If it weren't for the fact that someone really needed a divination about his future, he definitely wouldn't have been able to find a client. He might even have had to starve all day and sleep on the streets.

It was true.

As the impurities in Little Dan's body were slowly expelled, the stench on his body disappeared. He was no longer shunned by others. Instead, he was welcomed by passersby.

Xiao Dan out of impurities, still have sweat flow, running water sweat no longer accompanied by the stench, but accompanied by a strong fragrance, people are willing to get close.

He was emitting a strong fragrance, and many passers-by were willing to come close to him. For the first time in more than 20 days, he smiled.

".. .."

He hadn't been able to earn a single seashell in the town yesterday, so at night, the two of them could only spend the night in the mountains.

After a night of activity, before dawn, many animals hid in caves in the mountains.

This morning, Providence did not go hunting for game, but found some wild fruit in the mountains to satisfy his hunger.

After breakfast, Fu Yun took his Heavenly Gift and the Scarlet Pill and set off on their journey once again.

"Senior Brother, look! Little Dan is making his move!"

On the way to the next town, Tian Ci suddenly felt the little pill in her arms move. As she looked down, she saw that Little Dan's four feet were on her arms, rolling around.

Ever since Little Dan had eaten the spirit stones, he had slept for an entire month. Thus, he could be considered to have experienced Little Dan's sleeping skills.

The fact that Little Dan was able to move meant that he had awoken. His breakthrough had completed and he couldn't wait to find out what kind of surprise Little Dan could bring him. He was excited and excited.

With both hands, he grabbed Little Dan's front legs and raised her high up in the air, carefully examining her. He really wanted to see the flowers on Little Dan's face; this was not the first time he had done this.

"Haha, I've slept for a month. It's time to wake up!"

Little Dan was still in the advanced stage, and in order to protect his life, Fuyun would always release his spiritual sense to observe his surroundings, and would not let any movement around him escape his notice.

Every action taken by Tian Ci and Chi Dan was under his control. Even if Tian Ci did not remind him, he knew that Chi Dan had just woken up.

"Brat, what are you looking at, what's there to look at?"

"Look again, your father pisses his face!"

Just as she woke up, she opened her eyes and saw a large face gathered in front of her, curiously sizing her up. Chi Dan's beautiful mood instantly turned sour as she impatiently glanced at her partner, bickering and shouting.

"Who's talking?"

Sometimes, even if one's senior was old and disrespectful, they would still not see him act in such a vulgar manner, much less speak to them in such a crude manner.

It wasn't senior brother, could it be that there were outsiders around?

He looked around, and aside from himself and his senior brother, he did not see anyone else. He couldn't find anyone else who could speak.
