A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Faced with such conditions, Dazhuang found himself in a dilemma.

He knew very well that if the young master shouted for help and attracted others to come to his aid, he would certainly not have a good ending.

Even worse, what if the medicine wears off, and the young master regains his spiritual power and successfully opens the storage bag to retrieve the weapon inside?

With his ordinary mortal body devoid of any spiritual power, he was utterly incapable of contending with it.

......

With these thoughts in mind, Dazhuang decided to quit while he was ahead.

He acted quickly, picking out many valuable items from the young master's room.

As he prepared to leave, Dazhuang felt a pang of guilt.

After all, he didn't originally intend to really hurt anyone.

So he turned around, bowed to the young master who was still sitting on the ground, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Then, without looking at the young master's expression, he tiptoed toward the dog hole he had previously observed.

......

In fact, Dazhuang did have opportunities to escape before this.

Unfortunately, these people who were slaves were bound by contracts imposed on them by their masters.

Unless permission is obtained from the owner,

Otherwise, if it leaves the master's distance of more than 100 meters, the power of the contract within its body will activate, causing its heart and lungs to rupture and resulting in death.

......

At this moment, it was only because he had the young master's permission that Dazhuang had the opportunity to escape from this place.

However, if a way to completely dissolve this contract cannot be found,

Even if he manages to escape temporarily, if his master later changes his mind, then in ten days, Dazhuang will still face only death.

......

And so, Wang Er quietly observed everything that was happening before his eyes through Da Zhuang's perspective.

Not long after Dazhuang escaped, he was fortunate enough to be noticed by a mysterious old man.

The old man looked like a sage, with an extraordinary air about him. He smiled and said to Dazhuang:

"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary talent and are truly a promising talent."

"If you are willing to become my disciple, I will definitely help you solve your spiritual root problem, embark on the path of cultivation, and achieve great things."

.......

Upon hearing this, Dazhuang was overjoyed.

To receive the favor and guidance of such a master and begin cultivation was something he never dared to dream of.

So he nodded without hesitation, indicating his willingness to follow the old man as his teacher.

Seeing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

He then waved his hand, and a flash of light appeared, easily breaking the slave contract on Dazhuang's body.

......

Dazhuang cautiously described his current situation to his newly recognized master.

He thought he would be disliked for being nosy, but his master was surprisingly easy to talk to and said he could accompany him to find his parents.

Dazhuang was overwhelmed with gratitude and extremely excited.

......

However, fate seemed determined to make things difficult for Dazhuang.

Just as Dazhuang was happily embarking on his journey to find his parents with the old man, something unexpected happened.

Along the way, Dazhuang inadvertently discovered some clues.

This made him begin to suspect that the old man's approach to him was not accidental, but premeditated.

After some secret investigation and reflection, Dazhuang realized with shock that...

It turns out that the old man chose me because he wanted to possess my body in order to prolong his life!

......

Upon learning this terrible truth, Dazhuang felt a chill run down his spine.

In the past, he had always taken the old man's seemingly satisfied and caring gaze as the look a master gives to his apprentice.

But only now did he realize that it was clearly the greedy and cruel gaze of a hunter staring at its prey!

Dazhuang was instantly overwhelmed by fear, but he knew he must not panic at this moment.

We must remain calm and find a way to get out of this dangerous situation.

......

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but just as Dazhuang was racking his brains to figure out how to escape, he happened to run into the old man's enemy who came seeking revenge.

In an instant, the scene became chaotic due to the chaotic flow of spiritual energy caused by everyone's moves.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dazhuang cleverly utilized the surrounding environment and situation.

Taking advantage of the old man's distraction while dealing with the enemy, they successfully escaped the scene quietly.

......

Da Zhuang, now separated from the old man, was filled with worry and fear. He knew the old man's strength was unfathomable.

If they are allowed to escape and come back, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Dazhuang decided to change his name and carefully embark on the journey to the sect where his parents once belonged.

......

Along the way, Dazhuang deliberately avoided crowded routes and chose to walk on secluded paths.

Nevertheless, he remained highly vigilant, constantly watching his surroundings for any unusual activity.

After a long and arduous journey, Dazhuang finally arrived at his destination.

......

However, the scene before him left him speechless and heartbroken.

He learned from others that the mountains here used to be towering into the clouds, but now they had been leveled to the ground.

The once prosperous sect is now nothing but ruins.

Dazhuang searched frantically throughout the desolate land.

They tried to find even the slightest clue or trace related to their parents, but all their efforts were in vain.

......

Just as Dazhuang was feeling desperate, he overheard the whispers of the people around him.

From just a few words, he learned the mastermind behind this massacre.

It seems to have a great connection with someone who was imprisoned in a black jail years ago.

The words "Black Prison" exploded in Da Zhuang's—no, now he should be called Guo Si—ears like a thunderclap.

......

Shocked, Guo Si quickly calmed down.

He knew that in order to find out the truth and avenge his parents, he had to first hide his identity.

So he quietly concealed himself and began to secretly gather information.

......

Perhaps it was divine favor upon this young man whose fate had been fraught with hardship, or perhaps it was a case of good fortune turning around after a period of adversity.

After a lot of hard work, Guo Si actually found a glimmer of hope.

By chance, he met an elder of the Medicine Valley.

After carefully observing Guo Si's physical condition, the elder stated that his constitution was extremely special.

If someone can become my medicine person for twenty years, I am willing to help them open their spiritual roots and embark on the path of cultivation.

......

Faced with this only hope, Guo Si did not hesitate at all.

His previous master's actions made him realize that his physique was probably extraordinary.

If this body can bring me even the slightest benefit, then it's probably worth it.

......

Even if the next twenty years will be as painful and unbearable as being in hell,

But in order to have enough power to pursue the truth and avenge his humiliation, he resolutely nodded and agreed to the request of the Medicine Valley Elder.

And so began Guo Si's twenty years of utter darkness...
