A small town surrounded by a vast mountain range and a forest. In the town there is a river that flows through the mountains to the forest. The highest mountain in the region even had snow on top of it. The town has two Palaces opposite each other on top of a small hill.
In a forest region a young boy was running as fast as he could. He looked around 8 years old, he was a cute young lad. His eyes contain a clever glint in them. The young boy was being chased by a herd of wild animals. There were Bears, Lions, Tigers and even a snake crawling as fast as it can. All of the beasts chasing him have crimson eyes.
In front of the herd of animals was a young lithe lady also around the same age as the young boy. Her expression was pale white as she kept cursing the boy in front of her "You brat Fang Yun wait until I catch you!!!"
"Hey, hey I just needed something from these friendly forest creatures. How was I to know they were so stingy"
Fang Yun kept kicking back pebbles and throwing wooden branches that would occasionally hit the little girl and occasionally hit the creatures chasing them. After running for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, they were in front of the small town gate.
The Guards standing watch in front of the gate saw Fang Yun was running in their direction with all his might, his face was pale white and he was panting heavily. He was wearing simple village attire, those that servants and farmers wear. His clothes were in rags, showing his jade white skin.
"Hey you little brat, what are you running for?"
A person wearing a green robe with a sword on his waist shouted. After Fang Yun ran past him, he pointed at the girl behind him and said "Save me big bro she's going to kill me now"
*Whish*
A dim white light radiated out of the girl finger that was pointing at Fang Yun. That Dim light is called a qi manifestation anyone with a spirit root can start absorbing the qi from the natural surroundings and alter their energy to form a qi art. After seeing the girl the Guard laughed and walked toward her, but when he saw the herd of animals chasing her, his expression turned pale white. He shouted
"Back Up!!! Squad Leader ,come out!!!"
"Save the young Miss!!!"
After the person who was wearing the green robe shouted, someone wearing a white robe jumped out and he instantly reached the young girl, he grabbed her waist and brought her inside the city
"Fang Li takes care of these beasts, here's the squad number 3 command token"
After giving the command token, the white robe person looked at how miserable the young lady was. Her clothes were torn apart covering only her private parts, some of her skin were dripping with blood, but those wounds were from rocks and branches not animal bite marks.
The white robe man shook his head and brought the young Miss to one of the palaces on the forest side. Before leaving the little girl shouted angrily at Fang Yun "You trouble causing dog just wait for me to bite you to death, you cripple" with that the white robed man and the girl disappeared.
"Hahaha, I finally got the ingredients, I can finally cure my elder brother sickness"
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
The guards outside the wall fought for a full 6 hours before killing the last beast outside, all of them have an ugly expression on their faces "That little bastard always causing problems for everyone, if it weren't for his brother he would have been beheaded 10 times over already"
"I don't believe he's a crippled how the hell can he run so fast while being cripple?"
"Tsk, what do you know his brother is an Alchemist that can make pills to improve his physique"
"This time I think it's more serious he endangered young miss Xian Bi, the Xian family head will probably look for a punishment for him"
Suddenly 10 people were wearing white clothes with chefs hats on their head. As they were walking their eyes strolling around the gate, seeing so many wild beasts their expression changed they shouted "Who did such a good deed by bringing all these animals here? the food shortage is now solved hahaha"
Hearing that the guards expression became odd, one of them shouted "Good deeds your mom, we fought for 6 whole hours, shedding out blood and tears and you want to reward that little Bastard!!!" veins were bulging from the guards face at the end of that sentence he body was trembling with anger.
"Well ... He did solve our food shortage so have some compassion, a crippled kid that is more useful then those old fogeys who only cultivate but don't do anything to help the village, hmph"
The white robe group collected all the dead animals and went to the palace located on the mountain side. Before leaving the leader of the white robe group told one of the guards to give a small case to Fang Yun.
In a small cottage beside a river, a young boy was humming a playful little tune while grinding some leaves in a mortar.
"Hahahaha young one you did well this time, I'm definitely going to cure my illness, then those arrogant bastards from the forest side will know who's the best alchemist around here"
"Big bro what is the illness you're always talking about? Why do you need so many plants and animal parts?" Fang Yun was curious, every time he was sent to collect herbs and animal parts they would always chase him after extracting it.
"Hahaha good thing you ask my little lucky star, this illness is very special. It cost a lo- *cough* I mean it's a very terrifying illness, that makes me unable to concoct pills. Do you want to hear the name of this illness?"
"I do, I do, tell me big bro what is this horrible illness?"
"Hahaha good lad It's called Being Poor"
"Is that really an illness?"
"Tsk, Tsk my lucky star you are still too young to understand such a complicated disease, you'll understand it when you're older"
*Whoosh*
Different animal parts flew into a pot of boiling water, while some herbs were refining. There was a small pot that contained many different liquid substances.
"Not bad, kid you actually brought all the ingredients, with this I can try to make a pill to cure your condition"
The Alchemist concocting the pill has long black hair falling down to his shoulders, his eyes were filled with determination and excitement as he was concocting. His mouth seems to be mumbling non-stop as he kept working.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
Fang Yun went to the door and sneak a small peak through the crack before pushing the door open "How may I help you big bro" a sly smile was plastered on his face
"Tsk you lucky bastard here, a reward for your out-fucking-standing hard work"
A green robe man threw a brown box at Fang Yun. Glaring at him for a moment before leaving.
"Hahaha big bro I got a reward for beinf chase by that hag hahahaha"
"Good Good, I need to concentrate so go play outside for a while will ya, big bro gonna conct a magical pill hehehe"
"Ok, canI borrow some of your play-pills?"
The man threw a small pill bottle at Fang Yun "Knock yourself out kid, come back a week after, I think I should finish concocting by then, Oh and stay out of trouble my lucky star hehehe"
Fang Yun left the small cottage and walk up the river. Behind the trees close to the cottage are two people dressed in black robes looking at Fang Yun "We'll have to draw him out of the village to the place where the Madam arranged, the White Beast Den"
Fang Yun turned around for a second, before continuing to walk up the river stream 'I should go visit that girl from the clothing shop to play hehehe'
