Chapter 8: Changing Destiny

I am currently unable to help you find your parents, but I will be able to assist you once I am out. Rest assured, a gentleman's word is as good as a swift horse's gallop. Now, if you bite your finger and let a drop of blood fall on the jade pendant, it will aid me. However, before I go out, without powerful abilities, you will not be able to find your parents.

I will tell you why I came here. Autumn Baifeng said while reminiscing: "Ten thousand years ago, I had a partner in the divine realm, who was extraordinarily beautiful. At that time, we were being pursued by others, and eventually, we both sustained injuries. My wife was gravely injured; if the poison was not resolved in time, she would only have a lifespan of a little over a hundred years. Moreover, she was also poisoned severely. I, however, was somewhat luckier. It was not easy to save her. Initially, I spent several years inquiring and finally learned the method to save her, which was to use poison to counteract poison. Additionally, it required many highly toxic herbs to refine into a pill for her recovery. After learning this, I set out to search for those herbs. At that time, I spent a full hundred years looking for these medicines before I returned."

The man looked at Yu Xincheng, made a firm decision, and nodded in satisfaction, saying: "It is indeed very simple, but putting it into practice is not so easy. You need to enhance your own strength. I will help you with how to improve, but first, you must become my disciple. I will teach you the techniques."

Qiu Baifeng felt very sad as he spoke. He continued, "However, I did not expect that after returning, my wife's whereabouts would vanish. At that moment, a large group of people came outside; they were my enemies. When I looked through the crowd, I saw my wife captured by them, used as leverage against me. At that time, I acted according to their demands. I could not let my wife suffer because of me. Just as I was about to set myself on fire, my wife said to me: 'Baifeng, no, they will not keep their promises.' At that moment, I only wanted to save my wife and did not consider this aspect. Her words brought me back to my senses.

"Then how can I become strong? Can you help me? Please tell me what I should do," Yu Xincheng asked the man.

"Very well, from now on you will be my disciple, Qiu Baifeng, a good disciple. Get up now." "What is your name?" Qiu Baifeng asked.

While the man was assisting Yu Xincheng in transforming his body, he infused some celestial energy into Yu Xincheng's body, making his future cultivation significantly easier. Upon seeing Yu Xincheng awaken, he said: "Come up, now that I have helped you transform your body, don't you feel much more powerful than before?"

This is easy to say. As he spoke, the man pointed, and a pit half a zhang deep and wide appeared on the ground. With both hands moving continuously, water suddenly emerged from the deep pit, half a meter of good water, steaming with layers of heat. The man continued, "As long as you soak in this water for a day, the meridians in your body will become unobstructed, and then you will be able to cultivate. Go ahead," he said, waving his hand, and a gentle breeze threw Yu Xincheng into the water pit.

"Yao'er, I am sorry. If there is a next life, I would still wish to be your husband. After I am gone, find a place to live in seclusion and live well," said Qiubaifeng, with tears of happiness in his eyes.

Master, the disciple is called Yu Xincheng" Yu Xincheng replied

"Yes, Master." Yu Xincheng walked up and realized that he had encountered a fortuitous event; the man before him had become his master. Now, he knelt on the ground, awaiting the man's response

Yu Xincheng thought for a moment and replied, "What do you want me to do?"

"Good, good, good," the man repeated the word three times, laughing... I never expected that I, Qiu Baifeng, did not receive a disciple in that realm, but instead gained a good disciple here in the mortal world. Hahaha..."

"Alright, I will now transmit the technique to you. Do not move while you are in the water." Yu Xincheng complied and remained still in the water, waiting for the man's transmission of the technique

When Yu Xincheng fell into the water, he felt a warm current flowing through his entire body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Yu Xincheng slightly opened his eyes, realizing that his whole body ached, as if he had been doing hard labor.

Well, you probably don't know where I come from, haha... I have come here from the realm of immortals

The man moved his hands in a series of gestures, sending several beams of light towards Yu Xincheng, enveloping him completely. The man was helping him to alter his bones, and this continued for half an hour. After half an hour, the man's movements came to an end.

A day passed just like this, and Yu Xincheng had been soaking in the water for a whole day. He felt that he had become much stronger compared to a few days ago, and one cannot help but marvel at the magic of this water
