Chapter 3 Buck City
"Brother Ye Tian, I feel so hot!"
"The heat is a good sign; it proves the medicine is working."
After answering Dong'er's question, Ye Tian asked, "Are you still sleepy?"
Dong'er shook her head, "I'm not sleepy, I feel very energetic right now."
"Now, run back and forth along the cabin and the stream, and stop when you feel your body is no longer hot."
Dong'er agreed and immediately rushed out, sweating profusely on the path.
Whenever she felt she was about to collapse from exhaustion, a warm current would flow from her stomach, quickly spreading throughout her body and restoring some of her depleted strength.
Dong'er gritted her teeth and ran back and forth on the path, her clothes soaked with sweat, which dripped onto the path. Her lungs roared as if a bellows was being pulled, and each breath felt like it took all her strength.
Her steps grew heavier and heavier, and eventually, Dong'er could only stagger along by instinct.
"We can't stop!"
"Brother Ye Tian didn't say the time was up, I can't stop!"
Dong'er was unwilling to stop in her mind, but in reality, her steps became heavier and heavier. Finally, she took a step, tripped, and fell forward.
The moment she lost consciousness, Ye Tian took over Dong'er's body, helped her land smoothly, walked back to the wooden house, put a Qi-Nourishing Pill into her mouth, and the instant she swallowed it, he returned her body to Dong'er.
As the pill entered my stomach, a warm current flowed through my body, quickly dispelling my fatigue.
Ok?
Dong'er had a good sleep and was about to ask Brother Ye Tian a question when she smelled a strong stench that made her gag.
Upon closer inspection, her hands and legs were covered with a layer of mud-like substance, which was emitting a foul stench.
vomit~
Holding her breath, Dong'er instinctively rushed into the stream, took off her clothes, and began to wash off the dirt.
In the mental space, the moment Dong'er woke up, Yun Shu consciously closed her eyes.
Dong'er was halfway through washing when she realized there was another person in her mind. Her spirit entered and saw Ye Tian sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. A blush flashed across her face, and she felt relieved and continued washing.
"Brother Ye Tian, you can open your eyes now."
Ye Tian opened his eyes and saw a face exquisitely sculpted by Nuwa reflected in the stream. After being washed clean, Dong'er's appearance was in no way inferior to those big stars on the screen in his previous life.
She's only five years old and already so beautiful. I can't even imagine how stunning she'll be when she grows up.
"Now, feel your body. What changes do you notice?"
After carefully examining himself, Dong'er said, "I don't feel cold at all now, and I feel very strong."
"Yeah, that's right."
Just as Dong'er was starting to hesitate, her stomach began to rumble, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"The pills are effective, but they also need enough food to replenish them. We'll roast some wolf meat later, and then I'll teach you how to make some traps. If we're lucky, we can harvest some more food tomorrow."
Dong'er agreed, and when she sat down by the fire, she began to eat bite by bite. Even she was surprised by her current appetite.
She actually ate the entire wolf's hind leg clean, and her lower abdomen wasn't bloated at all, as if all the dozen or so kilograms of meat she ate had gone into a bottomless pit.
After she had eaten her fill, Ye Tian began teaching Dong'er how to set traps and how to find food in the wild. Dong'er learned everything he taught her, which gave Ye Tian a great sense of accomplishment.
"Dong'er, now let's begin the next phase of training. Entrust your body to me."
The next second, Yun Shu felt the abundant energy in his body and began to practice a set of boxing techniques that combined strength and softness. At the same time, he explained the key points of this set of boxing techniques without reservation.
"Pay attention to my breathing; coordinate every punch with my breath."
"Keep your feet firmly planted; no matter what happens, your lower body must not sway!"
"Every punch you throw should involve your entire body, using your waist and abdomen to drive your arm; that's how you generate more power!"
......
After completing the set of punches, Ye Tian asked, "Have you memorized them all?"
"I've got it."
"Okay, Dong'er, you give it a try. I'll point out any mistakes."
Dong'er nodded emphatically, recalled Ye Tian's punching movements, and began to practice in a horse stance.
During this time, Ye Tian would occasionally point out where her movements were not quite right, and if she really couldn't understand something, Ye Tian would teach Dong'er step by step in his mental space.
In one afternoon, Dong'er memorized all the boxing moves, and with each practice, her proficiency increased rapidly. She should be able to fully master the style by tomorrow at the latest; of course, becoming an expert will require time and practice.
When the day ended, Ye Tian received the system's timely inventory check.
[Congratulations, host, for slightly increasing your character's potential. You are rewarded with 500 Destiny Points.]
With an investment of 20 Destiny Points and a set of boxing techniques, I actually gained 500 points!
A profit of 25 times—that's an incredibly high return on investment!
If there are this many every day, then with a little more effort, he could easily obtain those divine inheritances in the mall.
After a brief moment of joy, Ye Tian quickly regained his senses. He realized that the reason there were so many destiny points today was because Dong'er had taken a pill for the first time, similar to the marrow cleansing process in cultivation.
No matter how much you eat after that, it won't make much of a difference, unless you find those magical herbs in Sunset Forest.
Over the next few days, Dong'er took two of the remaining Peiyuan Dan pills each day, and the total Fate Points accumulated each day amounted to only 300 points.
"Brother Ye Tian, I'm all packed!"
Dong'er ran out of the wooden house carrying a small bundle on his back. Inside the bundle were rabbit skins and pheasant feathers that Dong'er had caught over the past few days.
Guided by Ye Tian, they left the forest and headed towards populated areas.
On the way, Ye Tian imparted some life lessons to Dong'er. For example, the one who speaks the loudest in this world also has the biggest fist.
Always keep a secret from outsiders, and always keep at least one trump card for yourself...
Dong'er wrote all of these words down, and after walking through the forest for a while, he soon saw a clear tire track.
She waited by the roadside for a while, and finally a bullock cart came along willing to give her a ride.
She talked with the old man driving the carriage and soon learned that they were going to a small town called Buck City.
This city belongs to the Spirit Hall, which is full of Spirit Masters, and it is only a hundred miles away from the Spirit Hall's Holy City. The city is safer and has many wealthy people.
The old man usually does bamboo weaving and raises chickens and ducks at home, and then comes to the city to sell them every now and then.
Dong'er had a sweet tongue, and soon she made the old man laugh heartily. The old man liked this clever and quirky little girl very much, and wished he could take out all the knowledge he had in his belly.
Knowing that Dong'er was going to the city to sell things, the old man offered to accompany her, saying that if a little girl like her went, the shopkeepers would try to lower the price.
