I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

"Are you done yet? Are you done yet?"

"Don't rush, please wait three more seconds."

Gu Yun remained calm and composed.

Three breaths later.

Gu Yun tore off a golden, crispy chicken leg, handed it over, and said...

"Be careful, it's hot."

Luo Ling'er immediately snatched it away, not caring whether it was hot or not, and took a big bite.

"Mmm! So delicious! It's so good!"

The little girl's eyes were round, her mouth was full of oil, and she was speaking incoherently.

Gu Yun smiled, then tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

The meat is firm and juicy.

But none of that matters.

The key point is that as soon as the meat enters the stomach, a tremendous surge of heat immediately explodes inside!

boom!

That's not just heat; it's the purest essence of blood and qi!

Gu Yun realized that his meridians had withered and decayed, and were also blocked by the poison of the pill.

At this moment, under the rush of this heat, the meridians emitted a pleasant trembling sound.

The body, which had been cold, immediately became warm.

This is……

Gu Yun was very surprised.

This is no ordinary pheasant.

This is clearly a highly nourishing and potent tonic.

Eating this one bite of meat is equivalent to him working hard for ten days!

Just then.

hum!

Deep within my mind, the book "The Book of Destiny" suddenly trembled.

Gu Yun's consciousness quickly sank into the depths.

[Subject: Gu Yun]

Current lifespan: 85 (4.5 years remaining)

pat.

The roasted meat in Gu Yun's hand fell to the ground.

His eyes suddenly widened dramatically and stared intently at that number.

Originally, he only had a year and a half left to live... but after eating a turkey that this girl caught, he suddenly gained three more years to live?

Three whole years!

He had taken every possible risk to buy himself a year.

Now, all it took to grill meat for this little girl was three years to extend her life?

Gu Yun suddenly raised her head and looked at the little girl in front of her who was eating without any regard for her image.

This is hardly a problem.

It looks just like a living God of Wealth!

It also seemed like a drug that could grant immortality was moving around.

belch.

Luo Ling'er let out a burp, then licked her fingers reluctantly before looking at Gu Yun and saying.

"Old man, your cooking skills are not bad. It's just that this bird is too small; I didn't get enough to eat."

She stood up and gently patted her bottom.

Then he said, "Just wait! I'll go catch another one that's bigger for you."

Whoosh!

They've disappeared again.

This time, Gu Yun no longer felt helpless. Instead, he stared straight in the direction she had disappeared, his eyes filled with an unprecedented fervor.

You must come back!

About an hour later.

A sudden earthquake shook the ground.

Luo Ling'er returned here, dragging a black wild boar.

The wild boar was grunting, and its skin was rough and its flesh was thick.

"Quick, quick! Grill this one! It's so fatty!"

Without any hesitation, Gu Yun displayed all his skills.

Another feast ensued.

After this meal, the effects of the pork were not as noticeable as those of the firebird.

However, when Gu Yun checked the Book of Destiny, he discovered that his lifespan had increased by another six months.

They were overjoyed, and the First Elder and Third Elder let out long howls, but after hearing that it was the Little Witch who was behind it.

He made a pained expression and shook his head helplessly.

Night falls.

In front of the abandoned alchemy room, the campfire crackled.

An old man and a young man sat slumped on the ground, their appearance disheveled, surrounded by bones.

Luo Ling'er stroked her round little belly, looked at Gu Yun by the firelight, and suddenly said in surprise.

"Old man, your face doesn't seem as dark as before."

In the past, Gu Yun's face was devoid of any vitality, and he looked very ominous.

He looks the same as before, but his face is rosy, his eyes are bright, and even his ulcerated skin seems to be showing signs of improvement.

Gu Yun grinned, revealing a few broken, yellowed teeth.

He looked at Luo Ling'er with a very kind gaze, as if he were looking at his own granddaughter.

"Thanks to you, this old man does feel much better mentally."

Luo Ling'er smiled and thought that the strange old man was actually quite pleasant to look at.

They neither asked her who she was, nor were they afraid of her, and even prepared edible items for her.

"Okay! I'll come visit you here from now on!"

In the shadows of the corner.

Gu Yun clenched her fists tightly, feeling a surge of energy within her, and was overjoyed.

It doesn't matter whose child she is, even if she's the daughter of the King of Heaven, as long as she can help me survive, she's the most important benefactor.

In the open space in front of the abandoned alchemy room, Luo Ling'er had nothing to do, so she lay lazily on a large blue stone. She was holding a foxtail grass in her hand and muttering to herself.

"It's really boring, it's really boring, not fun at all."

Gu Yun was drying the dregs of herbs nearby when he heard this. He straightened up, rubbed his sore back, and said with a smile.

"I have some small toys here."

Luo Ling'er sat up, her big eyes blinking rapidly.

"What toy?"

"Borrowing the wind".

Gu Yun smiled mysteriously. He walked unsteadily toward the pile of junk in the abandoned pill room, rummaging through the junk.

Before long, he found a few bamboo strips. Although many of the bamboo strips were a bit old, they were still quite tough.

Then they found several pieces of discarded oil paper and a wad of thick hemp rope.

Gu Yun's hands are very dexterous.

His hands looked like withered tree bark, but at this moment they were as nimble as butterflies flitting among flowers.

Split bamboo, build frames, paste paper, and paint.

Luo Ling'er squatted there, her hand supporting her chin, her eyes fixed on it.

She had seen many dazzling magical artifacts, but she had never seen anything pieced together from broken and tattered items.

"alright."

Half an hour later, a large swallow appeared in Gu Yun's hand.

The swallow was drawn crookedly, with one eye large and the other small, making it look rather comical.

"This thing is called a kite."

Gu Yun handed the spool to Luo Ling'er and said, "Go and give it a try."

Luo Ling'er jumped up with joy. She took the spool of thread, and her spiritual power surged forth involuntarily.

"rise!"

Bang!

With a loud "bang," the poor kite, before it could even take flight, was shattered into pieces by a powerful spiritual force.

Luo Ling'er was immediately stunned, clutching the bare thread in her hand, feeling a little wronged, and muttered something.

"How could it break so easily? I didn't even use much force."

Seeing the many fragments on the ground, Gu Yun didn't laugh or blame anyone, but instead obediently made another one.

"That little girl, your spiritual power is something that mortals cannot withstand."

Gu Yun held the kite he had just finished making, but this time he didn't hand it to her. Instead, he staggered to the downwind side.

"Listen carefully, if you want it to fly, you can't use brute force. You have to go with the wind and run."

A gentle breeze swept by.

Gu Yun's hunched figure moved.

His body had not fully recovered, and he dragged his broken body along.

He started running against the wind. His movements were not graceful, and he was somewhat unsteady, like a piece of dead wood that could break at any moment.

"Let out the line... reel it in... let out the line again..."

Gu Yun, panting heavily, shouted out the incantation.

The large, ugly-looking swallow did indeed rise unsteadily in the faint breeze.

It flew higher and higher, becoming more and more stable, until it finally came to a steady stop in mid-air, as if mocking the many cultivators who relied on swords to fly for their lack of understanding of freedom.

"It flew! It really flew!"

Luo Ling'er clapped her hands and screamed excitedly.

She flew by the power of nature, without relying on spiritual power, which gave her an unprecedented sense of wonder.

"Here...for you."

Gu Yun ran back, panting, shoved the spool of thread into Luo Ling'er's hands, and then plopped down on the ground, her face a little pale, but a smile still lingering on her lips.

"Hold on tight, don't let the wind blow it away."

Luo Ling'er gently pinched the rough hemp rope and could feel the pulling force coming from the other end of the rope.

At that moment, she was just a seven-year-old girl, running freely in the wind.

Gu Yun was on the ground, his gaze fixed on the pink figure that looked cheerful in the sunlight.

The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion.

A pure aura of joy emanated from Luo Ling'er and entered Gu Yun's brow. The bead representing joy was becoming rounder and more lustrous at a visible speed.

However, happiness is always fleeting.

A sudden gust of wind swept by, and the kite immediately fell into the canopy of the ancient tree next to it, where it was then caught on a higher branch.

"You lousy tree, how dare you steal my swallows! I'll chase you away!"

Luo Ling'er grew anxious. She subconsciously raised her hand, and lightning crackled in her palm.

"Wait!"

Gu Yun quickly spoke up to stop him.

"The trees were bombed, and the kites were damaged as a result."

Gu Yun supported himself on his knees to stand up, gently patted the dust off his body, and muttered something under his breath.

"This was made by my old man. It is very precious and must not be damaged."

"What should we do then?"

Luo Ling'er put away the lightning, feeling a little lost and unsure of what to do.

"Climb up and get it."

Gu Yun retrieved a dilapidated wooden ladder from the corner of the wall. The ladder was wobbly, and he placed it on top of the tree trunk.

Luo Ling'er stared at Gu Yun, whose body looked as if a gentle breeze could knock him over.

For the first time, a hint of worry appeared in Luo Ling'er's eyes. She asked, "You...you can?"

"Why not? When I was young, I was very good at climbing walls."

Gu Yun smiled slightly, rubbed his hands together, and then shakily and unsteadily climbed upwards.

The ladder creaked and groaned.

Luo Ling'er stood under the tree, her two small hands gripping the ladder legs tightly, her head tilted back.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Gu Yun stood on the treetop, stretching out her arms, struggling to touch the kite.

Suddenly, my foot slipped.

Luo Ling'er gasped in surprise, her heart tightening instantly, and she quickly became cautious.

A burst of inspiration flashed from her, and she immediately prepared to rush forward.

Gu Yun steadied himself and clung tightly to the tree trunk.

He lowered his head and winked at Luo Ling'er, whose face was pale with fright.

"Got it."

At that moment, the setting sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, falling on Gu Yun's wrinkled face.

As Luo Ling'er watched the ordinary old man struggling for a tattered paper kite, her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Father and many elders are always busy.

No one had ever accompanied me like this before.

……

Late at night.

Inside the abandoned alchemy room, candlelight flickered.

Exhausted from playing, Luo Ling'er lay down on Gu Yun's tattered straw mat and fell asleep.

Her sleeping posture was not graceful; her limbs were outstretched, and there was something shimmering on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Yun sat by the fire, but did not sleep.

He was bathed in dim light, holding in his hand a fragment of lightning-struck wood that he had picked up from the back of the mountain.

This piece of wood is not a top-grade spiritual material, but it is quite hard and has a natural warmth to it.

He held the worn-out knife and began carving, stroke by stroke.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Yun forced back her cough.
