The Fengxi River is the river where Saitama and Jifa grilled fish before. Now everyone left the canyon and returned here again.
The other side of the canyon was in a mess, so it was naturally not suitable to stay for a long time. After eating the dragon meat, everyone followed Saitama back here.
"This kid is so awesome." Ji Fa couldn't help but marveled at Mengmeng who was playing barefoot by the river.
A dragon that was so big last night was almost completely eaten by this little guy. Ji Fa stared curiously at Mengmeng's cute and round belly.
"Eh?" Sensing Ji Fa's gaze, Mengmeng turned around and glanced at him, then licked her mouth and showed a weird smile.
"..." Ji Fa suddenly shuddered and ran to Qiyu's side in fright.
"I have decided to practice training here for the time being." Saitama said.
"Well, this place is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Brother Qiyu has found a good place, but since you want to practice here, you have to find a place to live." Jianglong said as he looked around.
"We can build a hut here." Ji Fa's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I said, Second Young Master, wouldn't your family be worried if you ran out like this?" Jiang Long smiled playfully.
"Uh..." Ji Fa was immediately asked, and then his eyes became lonely.
"Father is so busy, he shouldn't have time to care about me." Ji Fa whispered.
"Young man, cheer up, you are going to be a hero." Saitama stepped forward and patted Ji Fa on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Yes, teacher." Ji Fa immediately became energetic. He was very excited at the thought of being able to kill a dragon with one punch like Mr. Saitama after training.
"Giggle..." Daji on the side couldn't help laughing when she saw Ji Fa's silly look.
"Hey, don't be so troublesome. I have a place to live here." Mengmeng came over and said.
With a wave of her hand, several wooden houses instantly appeared on the river bank. The wooden houses were very exquisite, as if they were specially prepared for wild camping.
"Wow, so beautiful." Daji said happily.
"You actually have a house?" Jianglong looked incredulous.
"Hmph...I have a lot of things." Mengmeng said arrogantly.
Then several people entered the wooden house one after another and found that there were all the utensils inside, and there were even places for bathing and cooking. There was even solar energy installed on the roof, and the decoration inside was also very avant-garde.
"Mengmeng, where did you get these things?" Daji asked curiously.
"Hehe, I don't know either, I found it inside my bag." The little guy said with a smile, and patted his treasure bag as he spoke.
"Mengmeng, he asked you to come, right?" Jianglong asked at this time.
"Yes, brother asked me to protect you." The little guy raised his head and waved his pink fist and said.
"It's just what I asked for. I'm tired of Chao Ge." Mengmeng continued.
Jianglong and Qiyu looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"Chaoge? Teacher Qiyu, are you also from Chaoge?" Ji Fa asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I traveled all day to get to Xiqi. I ran in several wrong directions along the way. It's really embarrassing." Saitama scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
“......”
"Okay, young man, let's start today's training." Saitama then said seriously.
"Yes, Teacher Qiyu." Ji Fa quickly stood up.
"Then start with a hundred push-ups."
"yes."
Ji Fa quickly started to follow the instructions.
Jianglong and Daji on the side looked at Ji Fa doing weird actions with puzzled faces, secretly thinking that this can make him stronger?
Seven days passed quickly. Ji Fa's disappearance made Ji Chang furious and reprimanded those who secretly protected him.
"Master Marquis, it's that mysterious man. I don't know what means he used. He took the second young master away from Chaoge. Our people didn't follow up. I'm guilty." Heiying knelt on the ground and said.
"That's it, that's all, I just made a prediction. Ji Fa is not in danger, but a lucky prediction, which means that this child is a blessing in disguise." Ji Chang shook his head and said.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"Go down and get ready. Nan Bohou will be here soon. Let Ji Fa go first." Ji Chang continued.
"yes."
After the black shadow left, a person slowly walked out from behind Ji Chang.
"Father."
I saw that this man was in his twenties, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Ji Fa. He was Boyikao, the eldest son of Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo.
"Hey, your second brother has changed so much over the years, and he feels a little strange as a father." Ji Chang sighed and said.
"Father, my second brother has always been filial. In fact, you don't have to worry too much." Boyikao said.
"I know he is filial, but I always feel that there is some kind of gap between father and son, hey..." Ji Chang had a helpless expression on his face.
Boyikao nodded. He had also talked to Ji Fa before, but Ji Fa seemed to have something on his mind and did not answer his questions. He looked normal, but in fact he was full of worries.
"Forget it, let's not mention him. I called you here today because I have something to explain." Ji Chang said.
"Father, please give me a treat," Boyikao said quickly.
"My father plans to leave the matter of the salt field to you." Ji Chang said looking at Boyikao.
"Salt farm? Father, isn't this a song that my uncle is in charge of?" Boyikao was shocked.
The uncle he mentioned was Ji Chang's younger brother, Ji Sui, who was the owner of Hu Er that Ji Fa met not long ago and the largest slave owner in Xiqi.
"This Xiqi will eventually be handed over to you in the future. The salt farm is our foundation, and it would be good for you to get familiar with it early. I have already told your uncle about this, and he also agrees. I, the elder of the Ji clan, I'm also angry," Ji Chang said with a smile.
"Thank you father, but the child is afraid of messing up." Boyikao said worriedly.
"Just go ahead and do it, nothing big will happen." Ji Chang waved his hand.
"Yes, my child obeys the order." Boyikao bowed and said.
"Hey, the storm is coming, and I don't have much time left for me." Ji Chang stood up slowly, and Boyikao quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Father, you have a strong body, why do you need to say this?"
"You don't understand, God doesn't allow it..." Ji Chang shook his head, and then walked out with the help of Boyikao.
Fengxi River.
"Huchi...huchi..."
"Master, I'm done training." Ji Fa collapsed on the ground exhausted.
The training these days seems simple, but it is not easy to do. Moreover, Saitama has also upgraded his training. In his words, the amount of training he originally proposed is no longer appropriate. Now the two of them have to do it every day. Do a thousand push-ups, a thousand sit-ups, a thousand squats, and run a hundred kilometers back and forth.
"Young man, becoming a hero is not that simple. You need a strong will and perseverance." Saitama said.
"Huchi...it's...teacher..." Ji Fa gasped.
The two masters and apprentices trained every day. Mengmeng, Jianglong, and Daji were playing around with nothing to do, either fishing or hunting. Mengmeng had a great time playing.
"Oh, training is over?"
At this time Jianglong walked out of the house and saw Ji Fa collapsed on the shore and laughed.
"Well, you kill animals every day and then go back to chant sutras after killing. Don't you think it's troublesome?" Saitama couldn't help but ask.
Jianglong often goes out with Mengmeng, so it is inevitable that he will kill those beasts and other creatures, but every time he comes back, he will go back to his wooden house to chant sutras, which Qiyu finds strange.
"Amitabha...killing is saving life." Jianglong disagreed.
"Killing means saving lives?" Saitama murmured.
"Rescue? Interesting." Saitama smiled, as if he had found a new goal.
"..." Jianglong was stunned when he saw his inexplicable smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, then today I will do 1,000, not 3,000 push-ups." Saitama said excitedly.
After saying that, he lay down on the ground and started to move.
“......”
Saitama did it so fast that Ji Fa couldn't even see his movements clearly. The surrounding airflow began to appear, and then a strong wind blew and spread towards the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Jianglong quickly cast a spell to guide the airflow to the sky.
"It's amazing..." Ji Fa exclaimed as he looked at Saitama who moved so fast that he turned into an afterimage.
"It's incredible. This can actually make people stronger?" Jiang Long was very puzzled. He also tried Saitama's actions in private, but it was of course useless.
"I don't know when I will be able to reach Master's level." Ji Fa said with envy.
"Boy, do you want to hear the truth?" Jianglong said with a smile.
"Senior, please speak." Ji Fa said quickly.
"Saitama is a bit special. I can feel that his body is different from ordinary people. This training method may be just suitable for him. You have been practicing for so many days. I can see it. To be honest, your body has changed a lot. , but it is almost impossible to reach Saitama's level." Jianglong said.
"What? How could that happen? Master said I could become a hero." Ji Fa immediately retorted.
Jiang Long shook his head helplessly. Saitama was a one-track mind, so naturally he would not understand that his own cultivation method may not be suitable for others.
"You are only a mortal, and your fate dictates that you cannot become stronger through other means unless..." Jianglong sighed.
"Unless what?" Ji Fa's eyes were full of desire.
At this time, Jiang Long thought of Li Daoyi and Yin Shou. Only he could change Ji Fa's fate, but he did not say it out loud.
"Senior..." Ji Fa said anxiously when he saw Jiang Long was silent.
"Hey..."
At this moment, Mengmeng and Daji appeared behind them, and they saw the cute and cute Daji carrying a huge brown bear in an unconventional manner.
"Oh, little ancestor, are you back?" Jianglong said with a smile.
"Hehe, I caught a big bear." Mengmeng said with a smile.
Daji carried the bear to the river and prepared to deal with it.
"Hey? Ji Fa, why are you looking like this? Aren't you happy that I caught the bear?" Mengmeng looked at Ji Fa and asked.
"He wants to become stronger, but Qiyu said that the cultivation method is not suitable for him, and he cannot practice Taoism." Jianglong said.
"Become stronger?" Mengmeng tilted her head and said.
Suddenly, the little girl seemed to think of something and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Oh, I almost forgot. My brother gave me something before I came here. He said it was for Ji Fa." After Mengmeng said this, she put her hand into the treasure bag and rummaged through it.
At this time, Saitama also stopped and walked over curiously. He had heard the conversation between Ji Fa and Ji Fa just now. He had actually seen it these days that his cultivation method was not suitable for Ji Fa.
Several people looked at Mengmeng curiously and saw the little guy take out a card from his bag.
"Genos..." Saitama's eyes suddenly lit up.
