Ye Xingchen walked around the village alone, thinking about how to deal with this group of bandits.
The village chief was the strongest person in the village, he was at the Houtian Eighth Realm, but he had not left the village many times, so he did not know much about the distribution of forces outside.
"According to the village chief, Red Mang City should be a small city, the city lord is at the Transcendence Realm, and even the city lord is not willing to provoke the people behind the bandits, so this force must be at least high levels of the Transcendence Realm, or even Lesser Celestial Realm." Ye Xingchen speculated.
For a big city like Tai Huang City, there were Middle Empyrean experts or even Greater Empyrean experts guarding it. Some of the middle cities had Lesser Empyrean experts and the smaller cities only had Pseudo Empyrean experts or high level Law Phase Realm warriors.
Villages like this one relied on the mountains, and there were dozens of them, all built around the mountains.
As for the ore that the bandits wanted, it came from the depths of the mountains, very rare, but not very rich. Usually, they organized people to go into the mountains, in addition to hunting some beasts, to find ore veins and excavate iron.
But the mountains were full of fierce beasts, and it was very dangerous. Every time they dug, they could not stay for too long.
The buildings in the village were very simple, built with pieces of rocks, simple and natural.
Ye Xingchen turned around at the corner of the village, and suddenly saw a dilapidated courtyard, overgrown with weeds. What surprised him was that there were people in this dilapidated courtyard.
There were two children, the older was a boy, about eleven or twelve years old, his clothes were full of patches, and the other was a five or six year old girl, with a sallow face, very unhealthy.
"Brother, I feel so bad." The little girl said softly.
The little boy was cooking in the dilapidated courtyard, and said, "Sister, bear with it for a while, the medicine will be ready, after you drink it, you will be fine."
"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently, and said, "Then I will bear with it for a while."
Saying that, she was breathing weakly, sitting on a small stool, as if she would fall at any time.
"Your sister is sick, very serious, just this kind of herb is not enough." Ye Xingchen walked in, came to the little girl, and checked her pulse.
"Who are you?"
The boy's eyes were cautious as he swiftly took out a small dagger that he had hidden behind him and said, "Don't touch my sister."
Ye Xingchen injected a stream of True Qi into the little girl's body, then took out a Spirit Pill, dissolved it in water, and fed it to her.
After the little girl drank the Elixir Water, her face became ruddy, her pulse became stable, and her breathing returned to normal.
It was impossible for an ordinary warrior to fall sick. This little girl did not have any cultivation base, but that little boy had a Houtian first stage cultivation base.
The little boy saw that Ye Xingchen didn't mean any harm, and he also noticed that his little sister's complexion had improved a lot. Although he didn't let down his guard, he no longer glared at Ye Xingchen.
"Sister, how do you feel?" the little boy asked.
The girl woke up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Big Brother, I feel much better. My body is warm, and I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Boom!
The little boy walked in front of Ye Xingchen, knelt down, and kowtowed three times. "You saved my sister, I will definitely repay you."
Ye Xingchen thought that this little boy was very interesting, so he helped him up and asked, "What is your name?"
"My big brother is An Yuan, I am An Yue." The little girl answered crisply.
"Don't you have parents?" Ye Xingchen asked.
An Yuan said calmly, "Not long after my sister was born, my parents were killed by bandits because they did not hand in enough ores on time."
At this point, his tone was filled with hatred.
Ye Xingchen could vaguely see a black mist rising from his body. This darkness was not the darkness that could destroy everything, but darkness like the curtain of the night, full of peace and stability.
"This is …" Ye Xingchen communicated with the System. The System said, "Host, you are very lucky. This is a Darkness Constitution, one of the Heaven and Earth Origin Spirit Bodies. It is on par with your Star Bloodline."
Ye Xingchen was shocked. He knew about the Darkness Constitution. It was one of the famous Spirit Bodies in the Absolute Beginning Realm. There were also the Extreme Yang Constitution, Extreme Yin Constitution, and Light Constitution.
This kind of Spirit Body was very terrifying when it matured. It could definitely become a Mighty Being, or even an Immortal King.
Ye Xingchen did not expect to see a Darkness Constitution in a small village like this.
"Your sister's illness has been cured. However, your body seems to have suffered quite a bit of injury."
Ye Xingchen gave him a Spirit Pill. "This Spirit Pill can not only help you recover, but it can also help you increase your cultivation."
An Yuan shook his head. "I don't need it, as long as my sister is fine."
He was very stubborn and did not want Ye Xingchen's Spirit Pill.
"If you don't have enough strength, how will you protect your sister in the future?" Ye Xingchen suddenly said.
An Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took the Spirit Pill. "I will repay you."
Ye Xingchen smiled. "Since you want to repay me, then come with me. I will teach you cultivation methods and martial techniques. When you mature, you will be able to protect your sister. I can also help you kill those bandits and avenge your parents."
An Yuan looked at the little girl. "Okay."
He knelt down heavily and kowtowed a few times. Only you can make me stronger, I will recognize you as my master.
"Master." An Yuan pulled An Yue and walked to Ye Xingchen.
"Don't call me Master, call me Young Master!" Ye Xingchen said.
Ye Xingchen brought An Yuan and An Yue back to the old farmer's house. The old farmer was surprised to see them and sighed, "These two little fellows are very pitiful. They lost their parents at such a young age. The little boy is very stubborn and refuses to accept charity from others."
Ye Xingchen had experienced An Yuan's stubbornness. If he hadn't treated An Yue, An Yuan would definitely not have accepted his Spirit Pill.
"It's fine if you want to take them away. I can tell that Young Master is someone from a large clan. At the very least, they won't suffer if they follow you." The old farmer said.
Ye Xingchen introduced An Yuan and An Yue to Lin Rou. Lin Rou was kind-hearted, and after hearing about their background, she felt that the two children were pitiful. She had a gentle personality, and it did not take long for An Yue to like her.
Ye Xingchen brought An Yuan to the other side and had him sit in a wooden barrel. He then exchanged for Spirit Pills and Spiritual Water and threw them into the barrel.
The Spirit Pills were to treat An Yuan's internal injuries. The latter had been through a lot and suffered quite a bit of internal injuries. The second was to help him build his foundation and make up for his body.
As for the awakening of the Dark Constitution, he would exchange for a cultivation technique from the system. As for whether he could awaken the Dark Constitution, it would be up to him.
