Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the four seasons alternated, yet another year's worth of blooming flowers was already four years old.

He had been gone from the village for months.

For the past few months, Fuyun had taken him through many small towns and cities, doing one thing every day, searching for fated customers and earning a meager amount of seashells.

A few months had passed, and the heavenly gifts had changed greatly.

Fuyun let him solicit business in the sun every day, and his white skin slowly began to change, no longer as white as it used to be.

If they stayed for a day or two at most, they would head to the next town. Along the way, they also did not use any evasion techniques, so they had no choice but to walk to the next town.

Over time, Tian Ci's body became stronger, and he grew a few centimeters taller.

In the old days at home, his grandparents and villagers had always been fond of him.

He had no concept of money, he had no idea of what people gave him, he was very good to them, he had no idea of what was good or bad, he had no idea of what was good or bad, he had no idea of what would happen to him if he was not allowed to go into the wilderness alone.

After a few months, although he still didn't know much, he was no longer a child who knew nothing.

Because Fuyun would still reject many clients, he would still suffer the humiliation of being insulted by clients every day. Every day, there would be different clients cursing at him, and his heart would be tormented endlessly.

In the long run, he had suffered too many grievances. His little heart began to grow stronger, and his ability to resist attacks became stronger and stronger.

After suffering so much, it was all for Hai Bei. Ever since he knew the importance of Hai Bei, he would desperately look for a fated customer every time he went to a small town.

Fuyun acted like he was joking. Every time he got a seashell from fortune telling, it was only enough for one meal. If he met a big customer, he would get a little extra for lodging and would never have any extra money.

As he grew and his appetite grew, Fuyun would collect more seashells. However, the extra portion of seashells was still only enough for him to eat.

Finally, he understood that the immortal master made him desperately try to get customers to earn seashells every day just to survive, not to live a better life.

Since they didn't have the spare money to spend at the inn, they had no choice but to sleep in the wilderness with the immortal master. During these few months, they often slept in the wilderness.

At first, he was not used to it. He was afraid of being attacked by wild beasts.

After that, there had been no more wild beasts, and the fear in his heart slowly disappeared. He was no longer afraid of sleeping in the wild.

When you are hungry, there are wild fruits in the woods, so pick some to satisfy your hunger. When you are thirsty, you can drink the dew from the leaves of the plants.

In the wilderness, the morning air was especially good. The fragrance from the flowers, plants, and soil gave off a different kind of smell.

Breathe in the fresh air of nature every morning, and be full of spirit for the whole day.

In the past few months, he had been working in the wild or in the towns as clients.

In the town, there were customers who saw that he was well-behaved and friendly, would give him some food, would see that he had a strong body and would have ill intentions towards him, and wanted to take him as a slave. There were customers who saw his boastful boasting and would ignore his existence.

"… …"

No matter how big the city was, there would always be a day when the flowers blossomed in spring. With the blessing of the heavens, Fuyun left the city and entered the wilderness.

The distance between cities was different from that between small towns. The distance between cities ranged from hundreds of miles to thousands of miles. Fu Yun had left a large city that he had lived in for a few months and was going to the next city.

Where is the next city?

It was the same as before. If Immortal Master didn't say anything, then Heaven would not ask.

Before he left the city, he didn't have the money to prepare food. He entered the wilderness and travelled every day to eat wild fruits. His gifted body began to feel uncomfortable. Now that he saw wild fruits, he wanted to swallow them.

He would react in such a way that Fuyun had known earlier and had never mentioned it. He was waiting for the right moment.

More than ten days had passed, yet another sleepless night had arrived. He had been on the road every day, eating wild fruits every day, making his stomach feel very uncomfortable. He was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how far he would have to go in the next city, and he didn't know how much longer he would have to walk.

Seeing him tossing and turning, Fuyun knew that the time had come.

"Heaven's Gift, is it very uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing Immortal Master's question, Tian Ci immediately sat up.

"Immortal master, how much longer do we have before we arrive?"

When he was in the wilderness, he would never leave the village. Every day, he would hurry on his journey and eat wild fruits. His body was naturally in pain, and in his opinion, aside from perseverance, there was only perseverance.

In the past, he would have asked the immortal master how long it would take to find his loved ones. But now, he wanted to leave the wilderness as soon as possible and return to places where there were people and food.

"It's still early. We won't be able to get to the next city in a year or so."

"Tomorrow, I'll change your taste. If you eat too many wild fruits, your body won't be able to take it!"

If one was unlucky, then the more afraid they were, the more likely they would get what they feared. Of course, the one who was most afraid was the one who couldn't leave the wilderness for a long time.

He had thought that the worst outcome would be that he would stay in the wilderness for a month. He had never expected that the worst outcome would be a year and a half.

He had been on the road every day for a year or so, eating wild fruits every day. Thinking of this, his legs involuntarily trembled. Luckily, immortal master forgave him and gave him a change of taste tomorrow.

Change the taste?

Could this immortal master be able to use magic?

"Master, you can use magic now?"

Since it had never failed before, why would he need to recover? For matters that were deceptive, Fuyun would naturally not tell anything that was bestowed upon him by the heavens.

"No!"

He ate wild fruits everyday, so he was already tired of eating them. He wanted to change his taste long ago, what use was there in thinking about them? Only if he could really change them would he be able to.

Unfortunately, in the wilderness, there was no place for food. Other than eating wild fruits and drinking dew, he really couldn't think of anything else to eat.

From the Immortal Teacher's tone, he thought that Immortal Master could use magic to take him to a big city.

"Then what will it taste like tomorrow?"

Seeing that Tian Ci couldn't wait to change her taste, Fu Yun pretended to be mysterious just so that he could give Tian Ci a "surprise".

"Hehe, you'll know tomorrow!"

A sinister smile, a strange sound.

After spending a few months with the immortal master, Tian Ci had a better understanding of him. Every time she saw his strange smile, she knew that she was in for a ride.

What unlucky thing will happen tomorrow?

Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well sleep early, rest up, and face it head-on tomorrow.

"Oh!"

"Immortal Master, I'm sleepy!"

After rushing for an entire day, Heaven's Gift was indeed sleepy. Seeing that he didn't want to discuss tomorrow's change of taste and wanted to sleep, he decided to let him go.

"Go to sleep, I wish you a good dream!"

Not long after that, the Blessed One was fast asleep. Fu Yun closed his eyes and waited for daybreak.

"… …"

It was the end of another ordinary night. After dawn, the sky gradually brightened.

"Tian Ci, hurry up and get up to start the construction!"

Start work?

In the wilderness, he didn't need to find a client. What kind of work was this?

The sleepy Tian Ci helplessly sat up and looked at Immortal Master in confusion.

"Stop looking, there's no answer on my face!"

"Let's go. I'll bring you to hunt today. I'll open a meat shop for you!"

So this was what the immortal master meant by a change in taste?

He was glad that they were going to hunt today. It was not as bad as he had imagined.

Isn't it bad?

Was it that easy to hunt?

In the past when he was in the village, there were hunters in the village. When the hunters came back, they would send some prey to Tian Ci's house. A few months ago, he had helped Lu Wen drag a big wild boar and knew what hunting was.

Knowing was one thing, but knowing how to do it was another. Hunting and killing small animals was something he knew, but he didn't know. Hunting required skill as well.

"Immortal Teacher, you know how to hunt?"

Ever since he left the mountain village with the immortal master, he had never heard the immortal master mention hunting. Since he left the mountain village with the immortal master, he had never heard the immortal master mention hunting before.

Today, he was surprised that the immortal master suddenly wanted to take him hunting.

"What? You don't believe me?"

A mortal could catch their prey, not to mention Fuyun was no ordinary person. Capturing some small animals was no small feat for him.

He had followed the immortal master for months, and regardless of what the immortal master wanted him to do, or what the immortal master wanted him to do, he had never doubted the immortal master's words.

The village head uncle respected and trusted the immortal master, and the immortal master even brought him away from the village to look for his family. He didn't dare to be disrespectful to the immortal master, and even more so didn't dare to suspect the immortal master.

"No, no!"

Actually, it was just a joke. Fu Yun didn't expect Tian Ci to be so nervous.

Divine Powers respected him and feared him. As such, it meant that Divine Powers had always treated him as an outsider. Thus, he felt very helpless.

However, he couldn't force Tian Ci to take him as a relative, right?

Time could be used to hone in on everything, and the gap between him and the Divine Gift could only be passed to time.

"Let's go!"

"… …"

In the morning, under the compulsion of the immortal master, Tian Ci ate some wild fruits.

Fuyun's reason for forcing him to eat some wild fruits was very simple. If he didn't eat his fill, he wouldn't have the strength to continue on his journey, and he didn't have the strength to start work.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a grassland.

Fu Yun released his spiritual sense, covering a radius of a thousand miles, effortless. With his spiritual sense, he could see a radius of a thousand miles, where there were grasslands, mountains, lakes, canyons, and everything else.

In the prairie, other than weeds, there were at most small animals. It was the most ideal hunting ground. After discovering a large prairie, he immediately brought Tian Ci to the prairie.

"God's blessing, we've arrived!"

"I'll give you a mission. Catch a wild rabbit and bring it back."

What?

Wasn't it immortal master hunting?

Catch a hare?

Would a rabbit bite?

If he wasn't as fast as a hare, how would he catch it?

If the immortal master did not personally hunt for the treasure, then he would have to hunt for it himself. Since Heaven's Gift had never caught any prey, many questions flashed through his mind.

"Huh?"

There were three reasons why Fu Yun had chosen the prairie as his hunting ground.

Firstly, there was no lack of prey in the forest, and there were quite a few wild rabbits as well. Unfortunately, there were no hunting tools.

Secondly, there were many trees in the mountain forest, making it easier to hide their prey.

Third, in the prairie, there were less trees and more weeds.

Seeing that Tian Ci was stunned, he had guessed long ago that she would have this kind of expression, and deliberately wore a straight face.

Ah what!

"Do you still want me to catch rabbits for you?"

"Hurry up and go!"
