However, what made Long He most frustrated was that he had to step forward to congratulate because there were dozens of eyes watching him, and if he showed any abnormality, he would be suspected.
"Xiaotian, congratulations, you have finally opened up your body and become a healer. Sixteen years of hard work have accumulated a lot. Your future achievements will be limitless!" Long He said with a smile.
“Uncle He, it’s all thanks to your good teaching and the contribution of that beast that I was able to get what I wanted. If there’s a chance in the future, Tian’er will definitely repay you and that beast.” Wutan’s mouth curled up slightly, and he emphasized the word "beast" with particular emphasis.
Long He's smile froze, his mouth opened and closed, and he said silently: "I'll wait."
By the time he finished saying this, he was on the verge of a rage and had no choice but to turn around and leave, fearing that if he continued to stay here, he would lose control of his emotions and attack in public.
Some people at the scene noticed Long He's departure, but didn't care too much. They all gathered around Wutan, laughing and chatting happily.
At this moment, only Longhu was left. Compared with his peers, he was more mature and not as timid as other children. He threw the Yuan Guo into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it for a few times before swallowing it. He licked his lips and made a face at everyone, not worried at all.
"Wild boy." The villagers laughed and scolded.
After a while, there was no light at all. Just when everyone was filled with disappointment, a fiery red light rushed out from Longhu's body, like a wave of fire going upstream, and the heat enveloped Long Village.
"This is... a fire elemental spirit..."
"What? This is unbelievable! Dragons and tigers are actually elemental spirits." Several failed children were very shocked. Although they could not practice, they did know a thing or two about the basics.
"Haha, God finally opened his eyes and bestowed an elemental spirit on Long Village. Life in the village will be worry-free from now on!" The villagers were ecstatic, tears streaming down their faces, and they were indescribably excited. They also knew the importance of elemental spirits.
Elemental spirits are extremely rare. Even in the thousand years since Dragon Village existed, they have never appeared before. This is the first time and everyone is very excited.
"Yes, a rare fire spirit body, just right for joining the Huoyun Sect." Lin Shan held his chin and looked at it carefully. The smile on his face showed that he was very satisfied.
Long Hu scratched his head and grinned foolishly. Although he was seven feet tall, he was actually only thirteen years old. Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, he looked silly.
"It's actually an elemental spirit, how rare." Wutan exclaimed. It would be a bit fake to say that he was not envious.
The people of the Samsara Continent know everything about elemental spirits. Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light and darkness, these seven elements are the origin of heaven and earth. Anyone who possesses any of the seven elements will have unpredictable achievements in the future. The overall qualifications are more than a hundred times higher than those of ordinary physiques.
"Interesting, elemental spirits actually appear in such a small mountain village." The girl on the back of the flamingo, who had been silent and calm, now had a look of surprise on her beautiful face.
"It's really hard to imagine that in such a large sect, there are so few elemental spirits. Unexpectedly, I met one here. This trip is not in vain." The young man in gorgeous clothes beside him laughed.
The girl smiled and said, "Brother Huo is right. After we bring this person back to the sect and train him carefully, he will definitely achieve good results in the Qinglongzhou Hundred Sects Competition in ten years."
"Yes, the Huoyun Sect specializes in the secret scriptures of fire. People with fire spirit bodies can achieve twice the result with half the effort in their cultivation. Junior sister, there is no time to lose. Take everyone back to the sect immediately to avoid any complications." The young man said with a smile, but his brows were frowned.
"Brother Huo, you are afraid that the fact that this person is a fire spirit will be exposed, and the Yan Sect will snatch him away halfway."
The young man in fancy clothes nodded, a solemn look in his eyes, as if he was extremely wary of the so-called Yan Sect.
The girl frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
The young man in fancy clothes jumped off the flamingo and said to Lin Shan, "Elder Lin, since everything has been tested, let's take the dragon and tiger and go back immediately."
"So fast?"
Lin Shan was stunned. In the past, when he came to recruit disciples, he would stay for a day. He didn't expect that he would leave so soon today. However, the young master had already given the order, so he didn't dare to refute it, so he asked, "Young master, what about Wu Tian?"
"He has become a repairer. Although he has an ordinary physique, he also meets the standards of a registered disciple. He will return to the sect with us." At this point, the young man looked at Wu Tian, who was dirty and smelly, frowned, and said, "Hurry up and clean up."
"Please wait a moment." Wutan bowed, glanced at Long River in the distance, supported his grandfather, and walked towards home, completely ignoring the villagers who were in an excited state.
After Wu Tian left, the young man in fancy clothes looked at Lin Shan again and said in a deep voice: "Elder Lin, for the sake of safety, we should split up into two groups. You take Long Hu and go first. With your strength, I believe you can bring him back safely."
Having said that, Lin Shan naturally knew the young sect leader's intention and what he was worried about. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and a white tiger appeared out of thin air. It was about three meters long, with a ferocious appearance and a fierce aura.
As soon as the tiger appeared, it roared to the sky, bared its teeth, and its eyes as big as copper bells flashed with ferocity. Except for Lin Shan and the other two, everyone at the scene changed color and retreated in fear.
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Long Hu, go and say goodbye to everyone."
"Oh, let's go now!"
Longhu scratched his head and looked at everyone reluctantly. He had a lot to say, but time was running out, so he could only say a simple goodbye. Then he followed Lin Shan, rode on the white tiger, and rode away at lightning speed.
"After so many years, a child finally entered the sect."
"Yes! Since the Dragon River, no one has opened their body and become a repairer in more than ten years. I didn't expect that two would appear this time."
"Long Hu and Wu Tian are two promising kids. Long Village will depend on them in the future."
The villagers were all smiling. They were very happy that there were two strong young men in the village at the same time. Especially for a small village like Long Village, one more repairman meant one more way of survival, which was indispensable.
"How is it possible... Not only did that little beast Wu Tian become a repairer, but Long Hu is actually an elemental spirit. I don't believe it... I, Long He, have been working like a cow and a horse for more than ten years, and I have never been so lucky. God is so unfair!"
Only Long He was standing in the distance with a gloomy face. He originally thought that Wutan had fallen off the cliff and was surely dead. He thought that it would only take some time to find his body and get the token, and then he would be able to fly into the sky. However, man proposes, God disposes. Not only did Wutan return, he also opened up his body and became a disciple of Huoyun Sect.
What he could not accept the most was that Long Hu actually possessed a rare fire spirit body. What was a fire spirit body? It was a genius who practiced the secret book of fire. After entering the Huoyun Sect, he would surely become a genius of his generation and might even be noticed by the sect master and become his personal disciple. His future achievements would be immeasurable.
All these years of hard work have given him two children, but he himself has gained nothing. Thinking of this, Long He couldn't help but go crazy.
"You little beasts, I won't let you off easily." Long He's face was ferocious, his fists clenched tightly, making a crisp 'crack' sound, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
…
In the room, Wutan took a cold shower and felt refreshed and refreshed. A month's fatigue was swept away and he felt full of energy.
"Tian'er, tell grandpa honestly what happened a month ago." Longshan asked puzzledly while packing his luggage.
The house is simple, but clean and warm.
"Grandpa, does this dress look good?" Wutan picked up a white shirt and put it on quickly without giving a direct answer.
Long Shan shook his head helplessly and said, "You are grown up now and have your own opinions. If you don't want to speak, Grandpa won't force you. But there is a saying that goes, there is no time in the mountains. A healer can stay in seclusion for decades or even hundreds of years. If you leave this time, Grandpa doesn't know if I will have the chance to see you again."
Wu Tian comforted him, "Grandpa, don't let your imagination run wild. Tian Er promises that every year at the end of the year, Tian Er will come back and spend some time with Grandpa."
"You little brat, you only know how to please others. Actually, I knew this day would come, but I just couldn't bear to see it go. Alas! Men have ambitions, and you have your own way to go. I can't stop you. As long as you still care about me, an old man, I will be satisfied."
"So grandpa is afraid that I will forget you, not that he really cares about me. Hehe! Don't worry, no matter where I go, I will never forget you, because you are Tian'er's only relative in this world."
"You little brat, you only know how to say nice things."
Longshan tapped him on the head and warned him, "You will be alone outside in the future. You must learn to treat yourself well, take care of yourself, believe in yourself, and make yourself happy. Some misunderstandings do not need to be explained, and some grievances do not need to be endured. Just look at it lightly, take it easy, and be calm about gains and losses. Do you understand?"
"Tian'er, remember this." Wu Tian nodded, and then asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me where my parents are? Why have they never come to see me since I was a child?"
Long Shan's body trembled, and he was a little evasive: "Didn't Grandpa say that your parents are in a faraway place and have important things to do? When you become strong, you will naturally be able to find them."
"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. Please stop lying to me. Tell me the truth, okay?" Wutan pleaded. He had already heard the rumors spread by the villagers, but he was still unwilling to believe that he was an orphan without a father or a mother.
However, as he grew up, he vaguely felt that some things were true.
After a short silence, Longshan smiled and said, "Stubborn child, I really can't do anything with you. Let's put it this way. When you come back next time, grandpa will tell you everything."
"real!"
"You little brat, when has grandpa ever lied to you? Go! Don't make them wait too long." Longshan said as he handed over the luggage without any intention of seeing him off.
Wu Tian took the bag and said, "Grandpa, don't forget our agreement. Be sure to tell me when you come back next time."
"Of course, the old man keeps his word."
"Goodbye Grandpa!"
Wutan knelt down and kowtowed three times, then stood up and looked around the home where he had lived for sixteen years with nostalgia. Finally, his gaze lingered on his grandfather for a moment, then he resolutely turned around and walked out.
“Tian’er, don’t blame grandpa for lying to you, because your life is very bumpy and you need to persevere and work hard to move forward.” Longshan muttered to himself as he sat on the chair, looking through the door at the figure blending into the crowd.
