Chapter 3: Ten Years Later
Time passed gradually, the years passed leisurely, and just ten years have passed.
Yunyang City, the residence of the Zhong family.
On the martial arts field.
"Father, what do you think of the martial arts power I cultivated? Can I be called a genius boy?" A young man smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he raised his fist and slammed it on the wooden stake in front of him.
I only heard a click, and the sound of wood breaking spread to the entire martial arts venue.
"Hiss......!" The Zhong guards who were watching were all taken aback and gasped.
"This, this...... , If I'm not wrong just now, I'm afraid the young master's martial arts power has already reached a thousand catties!"
Standing beside Zhong Xinghe, an old man in a dark blue costume said in surprise.
Then he spoke again.
The young master is already so powerful at a young age, I am afraid that our current martial arts strength will no longer be able to match the young master. The young master is really the best cultivated talented boy in my Zhong clan for thousands of years. Not only that, but at the young master's age, there is such a martial arts power, I am afraid that there are few cultivation teenagers in the entire Kunlun secret realm who can match the young master.
"Patriarch, it seems that the revival of my Zhong clan is hopeful!"
The old man kept rubbing his beard, looking at Zhong Xinghe happily, waiting for Zhong Xinghe to give a statement.
At this time, the footsteps of dozens of people suddenly came from behind the old man.
Only the housekeeper, I see if you are old, this mind is not good, will it be old and dizzy, this cousin just broke a wooden stake, what is there to make a fuss about, such a sycophant, I He Mingyuan really dare not compliment!
"He Mingyuan, why are you here?" The old man was obviously a little unwelcome to this He Mingyuan's arrival, so his tone was more serious.
He Mingyuan, Tianyue City, the eldest young master of the He family's Xiuzhen family, has relied on the protection of the family power since he was a child, but he has been causing trouble everywhere, bullying the weak, and now he is seventeen years old, but he has no achievements in the family, but he is a real gentleman.
Thirty years ago, the Zhong family and the He family married, and the woman Zhong married in the past was Zhong Xinghe's own sister "Zhong Shanyan", and it is said that He Mingyuan, who can no longer be a gentleman, is also Zhong Xinghe's nephew and Zhong Yuan's distant cousin.
Hmph, why do I need to report to you when I come to my uncle's house? This Zhong family is my mother's maiden home, that is my home, and I am my uncle's nephew, I can come if I want, I can leave if I want, you can control you!
"You ......!" was just about to say something, but suddenly fell silent.
"You, you, what are you, you old thing, it's not that you have lived under the Zhong family for decades, this young master has already slapped your mouth, a slave is a slave, and it will never be possible to turn over as the master, you remember to this young master, no matter how big or small you dare to be like this, be careful that this young master breaks your dog's legs, get out of the way!"
"You, you ......! Ahem, cough, cough!" Wei Lao heard this, and he was angry with a dry cough, and his blood surged, and he almost fell to the ground.
Mingyuan, how can you talk to Wei Lao, Wei Lao is in my Zhong family, he is a highly respected person, his life has been dedicated to the Zhong family, and he is also a person who has served your grandfather, if you dare to be disrespectful to Wei Lao, be careful of your mother's anger! Zhong Xinghe said a warning.
"Uncle won't, you actually threaten me!" "You need to report to my mother for such a trivial matter, forget it, forget it, I don't care about him this young master!"
Only old, I think forget it, a little kid is just playing tricks, you don't have to pay attention to him, just give me and my sister a face.
Patriarch, look at what you said, the eldest lady is the daughter of merit of my Zhong clan, how can I see his children in the same way! But this kid is too choking to speak! The eldest lady has a gentle and kind personality, how can there be such a son as him, it is really uncomfortable!
Hey, hey, you old thing, don't rely on your uncle here, you think I don't dare to touch you, you don't have to inch in, you, this young master has already promised his uncle not to worry about you, you don't evaluate this young master there.
"Hmph!" Wei Lao flicked his long sleeves when he heard this, and turned around angrily, not facing He Mingyuan directly.
Uncle, how is my cousin's cultivation now? I just looked at the stake he interrupted, and if it were me, I could do it with a finger. I look at my cousin's martial arts power, which is nothing more than a few dozen catties of gravity, and I have now reached two hundred catties of martial arts power. I'm amazing!
"Hmph!" "You know what kind of stakes are made of those wooden stakes on our Zhong clan's martial arts arena.
"You old thing, I'm talking to my uncle, what are you talking about, it's really annoying!"
"Hmph, it's only two hundred catties, it's really beyond my strength, I'm afraid you give our young master a family, and you don't even have the share of shoes!"
As soon as the old man said this, He Mingyuan was obviously a little impatient, and then his eyes glanced at the He guards who came with him.
After the guards received the instructions, they had to take action against the elders.
But at this moment, Zhong Xinghe suddenly slapped his palm on the stone table in front of him, and the table collapsed violently, frightening all the He Clan guards and standing motionless.
"Presumptuous!" Zhong Xinghe suddenly became furious.
He Mingyuan, although he was smiling, became as well-behaved as a kitten after seeing Zhong Xinghe smash the stone table.
Mingyuan, you came to me and dared to instruct your subordinates to be rude to the people of our clan, do you think that my uncle and I don't have a little temper?
"Uncle, how dare I, it's just that what this old thing said is really excessive, and the nephew's anger is just like scaring and scaring him, and it doesn't mean anything else. What are you still looking at, why are you still stunned!Why don't you hurry up and retreat for me!" He Mingyuan clearly saw that Zhong Xinghe was really angry, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the guards leave.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?
Uncle, look at what you said, how can I be the kind of person who comes to ask my uncle for money every once in a while.
"Hmph, aren't you?"
Forehead......! He Mingyuan's face was a little red, and it was really a little embarrassing to be exposed by his uncle in public.
Uncle, I am here today because my father is about to be invited to participate in a young genius conference jointly held by Tianyue City and Taihe City every five years, and I am specially ordered by my father to invite my uncle's family to participate.
"Oh, all those families and forces are participating!
Tianyue City, I He's and I'm for him. Tay River City, LĂź's, Kim's. There is also Meilan Villa, with the Imperial City Academy. There are still two months left before the start of the conference.
Oh, Meilan Villa, and the Imperial City Academy are also going to send disciples to participate, it seems to be very lively! Then you can go back and report it, and say that Uncle I will definitely send the young people of the clan to participate in the invitation.
But at this moment, a loud bang came, and the sound of wooden stakes breaking came from the martial arts arena again, crisp and loud.
"I'll go, scare me, what is my cousin doing, isn't it just a few broken wooden stakes, and it's still endless, is it necessary to make such a big move?" He Mingyuan complained.
Seeing this, Wei Lao shook his head helplessly.
It's really ignorant, with your kind of vision, I think it will be difficult for you to improve your cultivation in the future. The old man is not afraid to tell you that the ordinary wooden stakes that you just looked at are all hundreds of years of magnetic wood, and their hardness is several times harder than ordinary iron. To date, Magnetic Wood is known as the hardest wood of all wood materials.
In the early years, in order to obtain these Magnetic Venerable Trees, the patriarch did not hesitate to spend hundreds of thousands of silver coins of our clan to get them, in order to create a perfect cultivation environment for the younger generations of the clan. For an ignorant person like you, do you think it's just ordinary wood?"
"Uncle, is that old thing true?"
"That's right, it was my uncle who spent a lot of money to buy it a few years ago, and it is indeed a magnetic venerable wood?"
Then, that, uncle, let's hurry up and stop my cousin, those magnetic venerable trees are all priceless! Not to mention hundreds of years of civen wood.
"It's okay, just let Zhong Yuan use it for cultivation!" "The purpose of the Magnetic Venerable Wood that I bought at that time was also this plan.
Uncle, as the saying goes, although money is something outside the body, you can make it again if you don't have it. But hundreds of years of magnetic wood is very pitiful, if we invite some masters of refining, and then carve the magnetic wood, maybe, it will make us make a lot of money, even if it does not make money, it will definitely improve the strength of my two clans, it is exciting to think about.
"Hehe, your idea is good, but my uncle had such an idea before, but in the end he chose to give up!"
"Uncle, what do you say?"
If you think about it, if we want to hire a master of refining weapons with a level and a level, the price is not only extremely expensive, but there is no guarantee that they will actually be able to refine any good weapons. Now in this secret realm where we are waiting, this refining weapon is more powerful than before, and even if it can really be refined, I am afraid it is not a good treasure. I think it's better to forget it. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to use them for Yuan'er's cultivation, wouldn't it be better!
The patriarch's words are reasonable, we have lived in this Kunlun secret realm for 10,000 years, only since the great war 10,000 years ago, the various inheritances of our human race have disappeared, it can be said that under the wear and tear of these years, the current cultivation status of our human race is not as good as before. Not only are there very few refiners, but their level is limited. Even this second-grade alchemist, in our entire secret realm, only the Imperial City Academy has only one second-grade alchemy master, and this second-grade alchemy master grows, I don't know how much cultivation materials the Imperial City Academy has spent on him to allow him to advance to the second grade.
Hmph, don't talk nonsense with you, I'll go to the martial arts arena to take a look at the magnetic venerable wood. I saw He Mingyuan slowly coming to the martial arts arena, and then came to a magnetic venerable wood that had been interrupted by Zhong Yuan.
"Hey, tsk, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Hey, cousin Mingyuan, "When are you here?" asked Zhong Yuan.
He Mingyuan didn't pay attention to Zhong Yuan, just kept muttering to himself, it's a pity, it's a pity! At this moment, he suddenly slapped on the broken magnetic venerable wood with all his might, and with a ding, the broken magnetic venerable wood was unscathed, but his palm hurt so much that he couldn't do it, and suddenly an embarrassed expression appeared on He Mingyuan's face.
"Hehe, boy, don't try again, the old man told you, with your two hundred catties of strength, it is estimated that you can't even penetrate the skin of the magnetic venerable wood, how can it be compared with the power of the young master of my clan!"
"What?"
"Zhong Yuan's cultivation has reached the strength of a thousand catties now, this, how is this possible? He is only ten years old!"
"What's impossible!"
Throughout the ages, that strong man did not come from cultivating hard, since the young master of our clan began to cultivate, day after day, year after year, whether it was a storm or a scorching sun, the young master of our clan has never stopped cultivating for a moment. With such hard work, the young master should also have today's achievements.
However, the young master is only a thousand catties now, and it is nothing. But the old man can assert that the cultivation of the young master of our clan will definitely be able to surpass the nine heavens in the future and rank among the strong!
Bang bang, a sound of applause came, He Mingyuan forcibly suppressed his embarrassed expression and walked down the martial arts arena.
Hehehe, old thing, I have to admit that in front of your uncle, this ability to shoot sycophants is unusually loud. But let me tell you, even if Zhong Yuan's cultivation has reached the strength of a thousand catties, I am afraid that if the cultivation door of this cultivation path is not opened, he will only be a martial artist in the end.
"Phew, that's stronger than your strength of two hundred catties!"
"You old thing, deliberately looking for me, aren't you!"
Okay, okay, you two don't fight anymore, but you stay away for the time being.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Wei Lao looked at He Mingyuan, shook his head and sighed again, which made He Mingyuan feel an impulse to kill him.
