At night, Yun Su drank a full bowl of hot pheasant soup. Other than a little oil, some ginger, and salt, he did not put anything else in. After eating a few pieces of meat, he felt that the meat was very good and tasted delicious.
Satisfied, he laid down on the bed. After coming to this world, he finally managed to fill his stomach for the first time.
He was in the east wing. The five children lived in the most well-preserved hall. The two more dilapidated rooms of the west wing were the kitchen and storage room.
A few months ago, the Mystic Wood Sect that Wang Muxuan ran for seventeen years still had one main hall, two side halls, and eight side rooms. That day, when the enemy attacked, there were only four dilapidated houses left.
"Big Brother Yun, I've left one alive to eat tomorrow. I've already plucked the rest and frozen them in the jar like you said."
Wang Xuanji obediently replaced the hot charcoal in his clay fire can and then stood there. She sized up this Brother Yun, who was an ordinary person like her in every other aspect except for the fact that his hair was growing very quickly. After his injuries gradually healed, he recovered most of his energy. His face had also regained some color. Compared to the Sect Master and the other senior brothers, he seemed to be slightly paler.
His skin was slightly pale and his hands and feet were not rough. It was obvious that he had never practiced martial arts or done much manual labor.
It was a pity that he had lost his memory. He did not know which rich family's young master he was. He spoke politely and softly although not much but he knew how to care for others and was literate. He was very interested in the Mystic Sutra that his master had placed in a high place.
She has been having the same nightmare for the past two days. When she woke up, she found that everyone had starved and frozen to death. She was left alone to die in pain and helplessness in this desperate snow.
The meal of pheasant stew and the meat in the jar finally relieved her.
No one had to die. How nice.
"Don't worry about the food. Take care of the others and teach them to read."
Of the five children, the oldest was Wang Xuanji. The other three five-year-old boys were a skinny kid named Wang Xuanwen, a chubby kid named Wang Xuanwu, and a shy, quiet kid named Wang Xuanzang.
The little girl who was still in her swaddling clothes was called Wang Xuanyu.
Wang Xuanji did not know martial arts. She said that when she was abandoned, she was poisoned. Later, her master forced her to circulate her Qi to expel the poison. The poison was slowly expelled but her body was very weak and especially afraid of the cold. On such a snowy day, she had to wear two cotton clothes and even stay by the kitchen fire to survive.
Yun Su sighed inwardly. Everyone, including him, who fainted in the snow, the people of the Mystic Wood Sect were pitiful.
He was half-dead from the cold, Wang Xuanji was poisoned, and Wang Xuanzang was abandoned on the roadside by his family. Wang Xuanwen and Wang Xuanwu looked healthy but they were two biological brothers. Their entire family was wiped out and everything was burned down. They were rescued back to the mountain by Wang Muxuan.
Meanwhile, a good person like Wang Muxuan died young at the age of 45 with all his superb martial arts skills.
Could it really be that good people didn't live long?
"Got it, Brother Yun."
Obediently, Wang Xuanji withdrew and carefully closed the door.
She looked a little down. If only she could practice martial arts too. That way, she would be able to do more things. Perhaps the Mystic Wood Sect wouldn't be annihilated.
She knew what her master requested before he died. She felt lost. Where would they go after they left the mountain? Would everyone split up?
This was her only home, a home where she had grown up with many fond memories and loved ones.
Yun Su naturally did not know what the twelve-year-old girl was thinking. He abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind and sat cross-legged. His consciousness sank into the depths of his mind. There was a mysterious space.
There was an extremely ancient cloud platform there. The entire space did not seem big but it seemed to penetrate the entire void.
Behind it, a huge ancient tree loomed.
The cloud platform was visible. There were no leaves, flowers, or fruits on the ancient tree. Only the withered branches rippled slightly in the void. There was a faint Dao sound that made one feel calm.
With a thought, Yun Su's consciousness transformed into a small person and he sat on it. With a buzz, the void trembled. Countless hazy Dao sounds came from the big tree behind the void.
In the next moment, he fused with the Cloud Platform and obtained a lot of information about it.
The Longevity Cloud Platform had completely fused with him and successfully started the journey of immortality.
There was a dream-like quality to it as if someone had spoken and he had felt something. It was completely different from the kind of game systems one imagined. It wasn't a system. It was a kind of enlightenment.
Yun Su felt a warm current coming from the cloud platform under his feet. It kept pouring into his body. A number kept jumping in his mind. A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, until it seemed that even his mind couldn't hold it anymore. In the end, it showed infinity.
He felt extremely comfortable. A magical heat surged through his entire body. Every pore seemed to be breathing comfortably.
Now that the lifespan injection was over, he had an endless lifespan.
Yun Su was a little afraid. When he came to this world, he knew that he had obtained a great opportunity to live forever but he was on the verge of death and could not enter the longevity space. He did not expect that he had injected an infinite lifespan now.
If neither Wang Muxuan saved him nor Wang Xuanji took care of him, his life would have been in danger.
He sorted out a large amount of information about this shocking creation in his mind.
Yun Su was immortal.
To be precise, he was now a mortal who would not truly and completely die.
If he accidentally died, other than experiencing the fear of death, great pain, and the terror of other unknowns, he could choose to live on the Longevity Cloud Platform and live after satisfying certain conditions.
"If I accidentally become a monster, will I live as long as the world or the universe? There's no answer."
Yun Su smiled happily. At that moment, he felt very good. There was no anxiety at all. He was like a farmer who had returned from farming and suddenly realized that his family's food supplies piled up like a mountain. A merchant who had returned from business saw that his family was hiding gold and silver that could rival a country's wealth. A scholar who hung by a thread only to wake up and discover his name on the Golden Honor Roll.
In the future, he had to learn to accept reality in a low-key manner and not resist. He had to live on obediently.
Thinking about it, it was really a blissful thing.
"It would be a waste not to cultivate properly with such good conditions."
Yun Su calmed down and thought of more.
The system had informed him about immortality when he first came to this world. Before that, he was worried that his immortality would be easily severed by external forces.
His kind of immortality that was not dying no matter what.
The other kind of immortality was that as long as nothing unexpected happened and no one killed you, you could live forever.
These were two different things that were worlds apart.
Now, as long as he lived long enough, he didn't have to worry about not having enough aptitude. If he was forced into a corner, he could create something from nothing at all. He could enter seclusion for ten thousand years first.
Yun Su had too many reasons to cultivate.
In the past, when he was on Earth, he had a special fondness for journeys to other worlds. He would usually flip through ancient books, and read fantasy adventure novels and television dramas. Even when he played games, he would play games of a similar genre.
It was not that he only claimed to love such things. He yearned for that carefree and fearless lifestyle and world.
Now that his lifespan was long, if he didn't learn anything, it would be too low for him to enjoy life.
Moreover, although his lifespan had increased, it did not mean that he would be safe every day.
It would be terrifying to be sealed in a shabby place by some pervert and kept alive every day.
Of course, there was something even more terrifying. Death.
Although Yun Su was weak, he had a calm personality and thought of himself as a good person,
However, he was afraid of pain since he was a child. A mosquito bite was fine but he was afraid of painful methods of death such as a knife through his neck or an arrow in his chest. Things like falling to his death, being torn apart by horses, skinned alive or being burnt alive terrified him.
If one did not cultivate but lived long enough, the probability of encountering those perverts and perverted ways of death was frighteningly high. The Mystic Wood Sect in front of him was almost completely dead. The pain of being beheaded made him feel a chill on his neck.
After making up his mind to cultivate diligently, Yun Su began to study the usage of the Longevity Cloud Platform.
He had obtained immortality but there was not much information about this mysterious treasure, the Longevity Cloud Platform. No one spoke. Only obscure information came, some of which he naturally understood.
Among the few pieces of information, the most important one was about the Longevity Cloud Platform. As long as one could obtain a strange item called the Longevity Immortal Token, they could sit on the Cloud Platform and travel the Great Void to obtain some kind of fortuitous encounter.
In addition, meditating on the cloud platform with the body of his consciousness made it impossible for evil cultivators to invade. The effect of visualizing cultivation was very good.
The ancient tree hidden in the void behind him seemed to be dead at that moment. It also seemed to have some secrets.
He didn't know much else. He would have to find out slowly.
