Chapter 11

In the training ground, it was silent and deserted. The night dew was heavy, and the weather was cold, causing a layer of frost to form on the surface of the stone locks, making them appear white and hazy.

These stone locks were made of hard bluestone, and even after being exposed to wind, rain, and sun for a hundred years, they would not lose weight due to weathering.

In this vast wilderness, people were accustomed to using units like jin (pounds), shi (stones), and ding (cauldrons) to describe a warrior's strength.

The unit of jin was similar to the catty on Earth, with one shi equaling one hundred jin, and one ding equaling ten shi, or one thousand jin!

Yi Yun, seeing no one around, approached the stone locks and picked up a fifty-jin stone lock. He gently wiped off the frost on the stone lock, bent his body, and lifted it up!

This stone lock was much lighter than Yi Yun had expected, and he actually lifted it with one hand!

Yi Yun felt a surge of joy, indeed, it was as he had thought!

Next, Yi Yun chose a one-hundred-jin stone lock.

This time, lifting it with one hand was very difficult, but it became easier when he used both hands.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Yun stood in front of the two-hundred-jin stone lock. He squatted down, grabbed the bottom of the stone lock with both hands, and tightened his spine like a bow, transferring the force from his feet to his waist.

"Up!"

Yi Yun gritted his teeth and lifted the two-hundred-jin stone lock over his head!

"I lifted it!"

Yi Yun was overjoyed. He held it for about three seconds before throwing it to the ground.

A boy of eleven or twelve lifting a two-hundred-jin stone lock, which was more than three times his body weight, would be almost unimaginable on Earth.

His strength had increased so much in just one night!

Moreover, strength was secondary; what was even more astonishing was his speed!

As a child, his strength was his weakness, far inferior to that of adults, but his speed was not much worse. Previously, when facing Zhao Tiezhu's attack, Yi Yun was confident that his speed was at least twice that of his opponent!

His body had undergone a tremendous change!

Thinking about the process of expelling black blood and dirty sweat, it was probably the legendary refinement of the body.

His physical foundation was extremely poor, but after undergoing this refinement, both his strength and speed had increased significantly!

It was clear that this change was brought about by the purple crystal, but why did the purple crystal bring about such a change in his body, and what was the reason?

Yi Yun subconsciously reached for the purple crystal on his chest, but to his surprise, he found it missing.

"Huh!?"

Yi Yun was greatly alarmed and quickly pulled open his shirt.

The purple crystal was gone...

However, the cool sensation from his chest did not diminish in the slightest.

What was this...?

Yi Yun lowered his head and gently touched the area where his heart was. He had a strange feeling, as if the purple crystal was still there, never having left.

With each heartbeat, the purple crystal also trembled, as if it had fused with his heart.

The faint coolness, which accompanied the purple crystal's tremors, was released and flowed through his bloodstream, continuously nourishing Yi Yun's entire body.

Yi Yun raised his head and vaguely saw the stars in the sky gathering towards him, or more accurately, towards the purple crystal.

These stars entered his body and disappeared.

The various phenomena surrounding the purple crystal had already given Yi Yun some ideas.

The purple crystal could absorb energy!

In this world, in this universe, energy was the foundation!

From the movement of celestial bodies and the birth and death of stars, to the building of nests by ants and the withering and flourishing of grass, everything was inseparable from energy.

According to the physical theories Yi Yun had learned on Earth, the entire universe began from a "singularity" containing infinite energy.

Energy could be converted into matter, life, and everything else.

In this different world, the elemental energy that experts cultivated was also a form of energy.

The purple crystal had a natural affinity for energy.

It could absorb starlight, and besides starlight, the two attacks by Lian Chengyu were also a form of energy, which should have been the "true essence" Lian Chengyu cultivated.

This energy made his body stiff, but when it reached his chest and touched the purple crystal, it was absorbed by the purple crystal!

As for where the energy absorbed by the purple crystal went, it was obvious.

The invisible coolness that accompanied the bloodstream was probably a manifestation of the energy. The energy absorbed by the purple crystal flowed through Yi Yun's heart and bloodstream, nourishing his body, and with each heartbeat, Yi Yun felt his body becoming a little stronger.

Recalling the refinement of his body, it was also due to the energy entering his meridians and bloodstream.

Energy could change the structure of matter, bring vitality, and confer strength and power!

His strength had increased from thirty jin to two hundred jin, a change that could be described as a complete transformation.

So, what kind of energy had such an effect?

Just a little starlight or the destructive energy left by Lian Chengyu in his body clearly would not have such a miraculous effect.

The answer was undoubtedly the荒骨 (wild bone)!

During the distribution of rations, Lian Chengyu opened the wooden box containing the wild bone, and Yi Yun saw many light points fly out from the wild bone and into the purple crystal, which absorbed them.

The wild bone was the most precious and essential part of a wild beast, more valuable than wild beast meat!

The essence refined from the wild bone could help a warrior break through to a higher realm, allowing a genius like Lian Chengyu to grow from an ordinary warrior to a purple-blooded warrior.

The value of the wild bone was evident!

Yi Yun, a weak boy with no strength, had a body with no foundation, and his bones and muscles were extremely weak. With such a weak foundation, obtaining even a small part of the wild bone's power could not help but bring about a complete transformation.

Understanding all this, Yi Yun felt a sense of clarity.

He took several deep breaths, slowly calming his mind. The purple crystal was undoubtedly a great treasure. It had fused with his body, and with each heartbeat, it injected energy into his bloodstream, refining his body and enhancing his strength!

His strength increased with each heartbeat, and each heartbeat was a form of cultivation. The purple crystal had such an effect, which could be described as miraculous.

Having obtained such a treasure, Yi Yun did not show a look of extreme joy.

On the contrary, his expression was somewhat solemn. Although he had not experienced much in his first life, after this reincarnation, his mindset had changed in many ways.

At first, when he arrived in this different world, Yi Yun was lost and emotionally volatile, but gradually, he adapted to this place and became calm.

In the presence of a great treasure, one should not be too greedy. It was not a matter of being desireless and uninterested in such a treasure; on the contrary, it was because the treasure was so precious that one had to be cautious. If one lost oneself in joy, it would be easy for someone with ill intentions to spot a weakness, leading to disaster!

Yi Yun knew that the secret of the purple crystal could not be told to anyone.

Now, the only person Yi Yun could trust in this different world was his sister, Jiang Xiaorou, but the fewer people who knew, the less danger there would be.

A great treasure should not be shown to others. Jiang Xiaorou was a weak woman, and she was more vulnerable to harm. If she knew too much, she might bring disaster upon herself.
