Chapter 37 May your wishes come true?

Eight hundred miles east of the ancient forest, there is an unnamed mountain forest.

Two divine rainbows like meteors appeared in an instant from the southwest sky, and instantly fell into the mountains and forests below and disappeared.

In the forest, the rainbow light faded away, revealing three figures, two large and one small.

The three of them were Jiang Shuwen, Jiang Caihong and Li Zhi, who had just flown out of the ancient forest and relied on their extreme speed to avoid the revengeful attack of the golden-winged Roc.

After landing, Li Zhi looked at Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong with a wary look, and instantly took several steps back, directly widening the distance between the two sides.

Jiang Caihong was amused by Li Zhi's cautious look and said, "Little guy, you are afraid now. You are really brave. You actually dared to steal the young of the golden-winged Roc. Do you know the strength of the golden-winged Roc? It can blow you into ashes in one breath."

Jiang Shuwen looked at Li Zhi gently and asked, "Little boy, what's your name? Where are your parents? Why did they let you train alone in the ancient forest?"

Looking at Li Zhi, Jiang Shuwen thought he was the kind of kid who was taken out by his family elders to gain experience.

In the vast land of East Wilderness, the more talented the child, the younger he is when he is arranged to go out for training.

They even specifically choose such dangerous places to cultivate children's purest spiritual perception and wildness.

Use this method to develop children's physical potential.

Almost all major forces have this tradition, so Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong did not find it strange to see Li Zhi moving alone in the ancient forest.

Li Zhi remained silent, and even pulled the animal skin bag on his back, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away by the two of them.

It’s not that Li Zhi didn’t want to answer them, it’s that Li Zhi didn’t understand what they were saying.

They were talking, and to Li Zhi it sounded like they were speaking a very complicated dialect.

Seeing this, Jiang Caihong asked curiously, "Little guy, the two of us saved your life, so you don't plan to say anything?"

Jiang Shuwen looked Li Zhi up and down, his eyes sparkling, and exclaimed: "What an amazing physique. Little brother, which sect are you from?"

Li Zhi still looked at them warily.

Jiang Shuwen understood instantly and said, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Shuwen, and this sister's name is Jiang Caihong. We are both disciples of the ancient Jiang family."

Seeing that Li Zhi's eyes were not surprised but a little puzzled after hearing their self-introduction, Jiang Caihong sent a message to Jiang Shuwen: "Brother Shuwen, is this child mute?"

Jiang Shuwen also noticed the confusion in Li Zhi's eyes at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Maybe this kid doesn't understand what we are talking about at all."

Jiang Caihong looked at Li Zhi's shiny little head and the wild animal skin clothes and said, "It's really possible."

Afterwards, she used her spiritual consciousness to communicate with Li Zhi: "Little friend, what is your name?"

"Persist."

Li Zhi finally understood what they were saying and responded.

However, his accent was difficult to understand for Jiang Caihong and Jiang Shuwen, and they did not hear clearly what Li Zhi's name was.

"From the accent of this child, he doesn't seem to be from the nearby Yan State." Jiang Caihong sent a message to Jiang Shuwen again.

"Little friend, where is your home? Why are you training alone in the ancient forest?" This time, Jiang Shuwen also used his spiritual sense to communicate with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi stared at him warily, as if he was worried that Jiang Shuwen would suddenly snatch the golden-winged Roc cub he had just obtained.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuwen sent a message to Jiang Caihong: "This child is very cautious and doesn't seem to trust us."

Jiang Caihong also sent a voice message: "Brother Shu Wen, don't you find it strange? This child seems to be on guard against us from the beginning to the end. He doesn't have the fear that a normal child would have if he was suddenly taken away by a stranger. And his body is so strong that he doesn't look like a seven or eight-year-old child. I just took a look and his body seems to be no weaker than yours and mine. At such a young age, he has such an amazing body. It is somewhat similar to the barbarians living in Nanling."

Jiang Shuwen had never dealt with the barbarian cultivators in Nanling. He just heard the elders introduce the general situation of the barbarian cultivators in Nanling when he was studying at home. They were all strong and didn't look like normal human cultivators, so he said, "Maybe this little guy is a barbarian."

"If we bring him out of the ancient forest so abruptly and interrupt the little guy's training journey, will it anger his elders?" Jiang Caihong said to Jiang Shuwen with some concern.

"It shouldn't be the case. If he really has an elder following him secretly, they will definitely not let this little guy steal the young golden-winged Roc." Jiang Shuwen gave his own judgment.

"What if his elder is a powerful immortal? He doesn't take the golden-winged Roc seriously at all. He just wants this little guy to experience the feeling of being chased by a vicious bird?" Jiang Caihong told Jiang Shuwen what she was thinking.

Because when they were seven or eight years old, it was impossible for them to have a body as strong as Li Zhi.

Within the family, only a few direct disciples with strong blood of the Great Emperor in their bodies or family disciples with special physiques would be baptized with various precious blood and medicines when they were young to improve their physical fitness exponentially.

Of course, it’s not that ordinary disciples cannot be baptized, but only children with strong innate constitutions can withstand the medicinal power of the precious blood and medicine, allowing them to have extremely strong physiques before they begin practicing.

In the entire Jiang family, among the direct disciples that the two of them knew, no one could have the same physical fitness as Li Zhi at his age.

Although the two had not touched Li Zhi's bones and did not know what his physical condition was, their spiritual senses could see the abundant energy and blood contained in his small body.

The two of them vaguely felt that their action of taking Li Zhi away just now seemed a bit impulsive.

"Little boy, where are your elders?" Jiang Caihong then asked using her spiritual sense.

"Dead." Li Zhi said calmly.

"Dead? You live alone in the ancient forest." Jiang Caihong subconsciously regarded the dead elder mentioned by Li Zhi as the protector who brought him out for training, and said in surprise.

Li Zhi nodded. Jiang Shuwen asked with his spiritual sense, "How long have you lived in that ancient forest?"

Li Zhi replied: "Almost a year."

Jiang Shuwen asked again: "Then why did you steal the young golden-winged Roc?"

Li Zhi said, "I plan to roast it and eat it."

Jiang Shuwen stared at Li Zhi with eyes wide open.

Then he immediately began to imagine that the elder who took Li Zhi to train in the ancient forest suddenly discovered something abnormal in the ancient forbidden area, and then could not help but enter the forbidden area to pick the holy medicine, and finally died in the life forbidden area.

After that, the young Li Zhi was left alone in that ancient forest.

The more he thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth, so Jiang Shuwen asked, "Did your elders go to the nine sacred mountains in the restricted area and never come back?"

Li Zhi was quite puzzled as to what the question was, but he still nodded.

For the time being, there should be no one else except Ye Fan who can climb the nine sacred mountains in the ancient forbidden land without dying.

Jiang Shuwen showed an expression that said, "As expected."

Then he asked Li Zhi about his experience living in the ancient forest.

Li Zhi knew everything and had nothing to hide, so he told Jiang Shuwen about his experiences fighting with wild beasts in the mountains and forging his body with the evil water in the Black Water Lake.

After listening to Li Zhi's introduction, Jiang Caihong showed a hint of tenderness and said, "What a strong child. Will you follow us from now on?"

Li Zhi just shook his head.

Jiang Caihong said: "Only by practicing with us can you return to your hometown. Don't you miss your parents at home?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he said, "They are all dead."

Then Jiang Shuwen asked, "Little friend, do you still remember where your home is?"

Li Zhi looked up at the southern sky and said, "It's very, very far away. I can't go back alone."

This caused Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong to misunderstand, and they thought that Li Zhi was a barbarian disciple from Nanling.

Jiang Shuwen said to Jiang Caihong, "Sure enough, this child was born in the barbarian tribe of Nanling. This time, he was brought to our Eastern Wasteland by his elders for training, but he never expected that his elders had an accident and left him here alone."

Jiang Caihong asked: "Then should we send him back?"

Jiang Shuwen shook his head and said, "The Nanling Barbarians have always been mysterious. They don't usually interact with the various sects in the Eastern Wilderness. Even if we want to send him back, I'm afraid we won't be able to find his exact home. And with our current cultivation, it's probably dangerous to take him to Nanling to find his home."

Jiang Caihong said: "Then let's take him with us first?"

"We are here to gain experience, so it is not appropriate to bring him along. He is still too young, and even the Sea of ​​Bitterness has not been opened up yet. He needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day, so it is not convenient for him to follow us. I think it is better to send him to a sect in Yan State to train first. In a few years, when he grows up and reaches the Life Spring realm and can fly with the rainbow, we will pick him up and send him home."

After thinking carefully for a moment, Jiang Shuwen came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

Jiang Caihong's eyes lit up and she said, "This place is not far from the Yanxia Cave Heaven of the six major sects of Yan State. Why don't we send him to the Yanxia Cave Heaven to practice."

The two of them didn't think that a sect in a small place like Yan State would dare to reject such a small request from a disciple of the ancient family.

Jiang Shuwen nodded and said, "Let's ask this little guy for his opinion first."

Afterwards, Jiang Shuwen said to Li Zhi, "Little friend, do you want to go home? Big brother plans to arrange a safe living and cultivation environment for you. When you grow up a little, brother Shuwen and sister Caihong will come to pick you up and send you home."

Afterwards, Jiang Shuwen told Li Zhi about his plan.

Li Zhi was secretly delighted: "It's true that someone brought a pillow just when I was sleepy. The characters of these two Jiang family disciples are really good."

After listening to Jiang Shuwen's suggestion, Li Zhi nodded, took off the animal skin bag on his back, handed it to Jiang Shuwen and said, "This is a gift for you."

Jiang Shuwen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said, "The young golden-winged Roc is very precious. Do you really want to give it to Brother Shuwen?"

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded and stuffed the animal skin bag into Jiang Shuwen's hand.

Jiang Shuwen thought for a moment, then took out a book from the Sea of ​​Bitterness and handed it to Li Zhi, saying, "This book contains the common sense of cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland compiled by a great man of our Jiang family, as well as the precautions for cultivation in the two secret realms of the Wheel Sea and the Dao Palace. My cultivation is about to break through the Four Extremes, and this book will not be of any help to me. I will give it to you now. Keep it well, and read it often after you reach the Misty Cave Heaven. It will be of great help to your subsequent cultivation."

"Thank you, Brother Shu Wen." A smile finally appeared on Li Zhi's face.

"Little Zhizi, the things recorded in it are much more detailed than the common sense of cultivation taught in those blessed places in Yan State. When you arrive at Yanxia Cave Heaven, be sure to keep it well and don't tell others easily. Although it is not a cultivation scripture, the precautions for cultivation in the two secret realms of Lunhai and Daogong are recorded in it. They were annotated personally by the great man of our Jiang family, and they have a certain appeal to the elders of those small sects." Jiang Caihong also reminded Li Zhidao with a smile.

"Xiao Zhizi? What kind of a name is that?"

Li Zhi complained in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said to Jiang Caihong: "Thank you, big sister."

Just as they were about to set off, a mocking voice suddenly came to their ears.

"Is this the only ability of the Jiang family's disciples? They coaxed a baby golden-winged Roc from a child. Aren't you afraid that it will get out and make people laugh at you?"
