C2254 A Teenager's Dream
After all, the cultivators that he had the opportunity to meet were the most powerful ones on the island. They were far above him and he couldn't even get close, let alone talk to him like Chen Xiao in front of him.
He didn't even dare to think about such a simple matter. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to stop talking once he started.
After saying that, Chen Xiao clearly noticed the expression of the girl beside him change slightly. It was obvious that she also realized something.
For Chen Xiao to suffer such heavy injuries, he was most likely injured by other cultivators.
Such an enemy wasn't something that an ordinary person like the brother and sister could offend. The young girl couldn't help but feel fear in her heart.
She was keenly aware that in front of these powerful cultivators, ordinary people like them would be killed without even having the slightest chance to resist.
It would have been better if he had just been killed, but if he had suffered some inhuman torture, just thinking about it was enough to make him feel terrified.
Once the Chou family that injured Chen Xiao chased after them, she and her brother would definitely be implicated.
Thinking of this, the girl's eyes were filled with worry. She looked at Chen Xiao, who was lying on the bed and unable to move, with a conflicted look on her face.
Chen Xiao was very understanding as he said lightly, "Don't worry, Miss. Ten days at the most, or three to five days at the least. Once I recover, I will leave. I will not implicate the two of you."
Hearing this, the girl felt a bit more at ease. However, staying here for a few more days, there shouldn't be any problems.
The girl seemed to feel that her thoughts had been seen through. She quickly said: "You stay here. As long as you don't go out and show your face, no one will notice you."
Chen Xiao wasn't as ambitious as the girl, he knew how powerful cultivators could be.
The first thing he did after waking up was to use the special spiritual will technique that he obtained from the young cultivator to conceal his presence. He even placed a simple concealment array around the two siblings' house.
As someone who was proficient in the Dao of array formations, he was clear that the more complicated and perfect a array formation was, the easier it would be to expose flaws in it.
On the contrary, simpler formations were harder to find.
After ensuring that all these measures were done well, Chen Xiao finally felt at ease.
"Especially you, Xiaoshan. Uncle was saved by us, so you mustn't spread the news of him healing in our house. Do you remember that?" The young girl said to the youth with an incomparably serious expression.
"Yes, I will remember, Sis." The youth solemnly agreed.
After exchanging a few more polite words with Chen Xiao, the girl left to busy herself.
The livelihood of these two siblings was entirely dependent on her. The youth's little mountain was still too small, and the young girl didn't feel too at ease if he was asked to go out and do some work.
In the room, only Chen Xiao and Xiaoshan were left. Xiaoshan was like a chatterbox, constantly talking to Chen Xiao.
However, most of the time, Chen Xiao didn't respond. Occasionally, he would respond with a sentence or two, which was enough to make the young people jump and jump in joy.
Through these conversations, Chen Xiao got a better understanding of the current situation.
The island he was on right now was called Green Coconut Island. It was located one million miles south of Gold Island and was quite inconspicuous. Around Green Coconut Island, there were many similar human settlements on the island.
The humans living on these small islands were mostly ordinary mortals who lived their lives fishing.
The strongest cultivator on Green Coconut Island was only at the Divine Soul Realm.
However, in Chen Xiao's eyes, a Divine Soul Realm cultivator that was as weak as an ant was an existence as powerful as a god in the eyes of the commoners on Green Coconut Island. No one dared to disobey.
The siblings had lived on Green Coconut Island since they could remember. According to their parents, their ancestors, ancestors and even ancestors were fishermen.
Until now, there was no way to change it, nor did he think about changing it.
However, an unexpected calamity caused the originally normal and happy family of fishermen to fall apart.
The two siblings' parents, who followed the boat out to fish, encountered an accident at sea. The entire boat was dead, and not a single person came back alive.
From then on, the siblings who were not even ten years old yet relied on each other for survival, living on with great difficulty and strength.
However, neither of them knew about their parents' death. It was said that someone in the fishing village had encountered a storm, which had swept away the entire ship.
Some people even said that they had encountered a demon beast in the sea. A terrifying demon beast had devoured the entire ship.
It was unknown which one was real and which was fake, but one thing was certain, their parents would never be able to return.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Fortunately, the young girl was very hardworking. With the help of her hardworking hands, she had barely managed to raise her little brother.
In the heart of his younger brother, there was only one dream, and that was to become a powerful cultivator.
He wanted to have the power to protect his sister.
When Little Shan said that wish, even Chen Xiao was a little moved. However, nothing in this world was perfect.
"Uncle, am I really unable to become a cultivator?" The teenager, Xiaoshan, looked at Chen Xiao and said in a low voice.
"There's no other way." Chen Xiao said expressionlessly.
To become a cultivator, one of the most basic requirements was to be able to absorb and refine the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. This required having Spiritual Roots.
Without spiritual roots, one could not step onto the path of cultivation.
If he forcefully trained in it, he would only be able to use it to strengthen his body. He would not even be able to touch the doorstep and it would be futile.
"Hai, I know." The youngster's face was filled with disappointment.
At this time, he no longer had the desire to chat with Chen Xiao anymore, he lowered his head and went out.
Chen Xiao saw with his telepathic thoughts that after the boy left the room, the young man, Xiaoshan, was sitting on the threshold alone with dull eyes, watching his sister busy herself with fishing.
Born on the island of Green Coconut, they ate by the sea. The vast majority of mortals were fishermen who depended on fishing for their livelihood. The siblings were no exception.
"Sister, uncle said that I can't cultivate, sigh!" Little Shan sighed.
The girl paused for a moment before continuing, "It's fine. We can't cultivate. Even if we can't cultivate, we can still become a man that can support the heavens and protect our sister."
"Mm, I will definitely try my best to grow my body and protect my sister." Hearing this, Xiaoshan spoke with determination.
Although what Chen Xiao said had a huge impact on him, he was actually mentally prepared for it.
Although Green Coconut Island was an unremarkable island in the Western Seas, it was still a small island in the Divine Realm. No matter how ordinary it was, there would always be people paying attention to it.
Every year, various large and small forces would send disciples to these islands to recruit new disciples to replenish their new blood.
