People of the older generation often say: the existence of three fires in the human body, representing the existence of the essence and spirit of the human body, once a fire is extinguished, then one of the person's essence and spirit will disappear.

Since ancient times, the foundation of cultivating martial arts in the Shenzhou Continent is to start from cultivating the essence and spirit, lay a solid foundation, lay a good foundation, and the subsequent martial arts cultivation will get twice the result with half the effort. However, the speed of a person's martial arts cultivation not only depends on his own cultivation of essence and spirit, but more importantly, his own martial arts talent, as well as a bunch of precious martial arts cultivation resources, and the opportunity left by the predecessors for future generations, with the opportunities left by the predecessors, the blessed can take less crooked paths on the way to martial arts cultivation and reach the peak faster.

If you want to stand at the top of the Shenzhou Continent, these four things are indispensable, this is an eternal truth, and the people of the entire Shenzhou Continent understand that from the royal clan, the holy land Tianjiao, down to the mountain and wild villagers, and the commoner Bai Ding, everyone wants to become the pinnacle of this continent, holding the power of the world, and waking up the knees of the beauties.

However, ideals are always good, and the strong people who can become the pinnacle of this continent are only a handful of them from ancient times to the present, which shows the difficulty of martial arts cultivation and the breadth of martial arts cultivation.

There is a young man in the countryside, surnamed Jiang Yuezheng, who has lived in Hongye Village since he was sensible, and has been more than thirteen years old. Every time he asked the village chief grandfather about his life experience, the village chief grandfather just smiled and said, "I'm still young, I'll tell you when I grow up." "Actually, the village chief's grandfather didn't say it, Jiang Yuezheng also knew that he was brought back by the village chief from the entrance of the village, and the name Jiang Yuezheng was also obtained by the village chief for himself, which was also Aunt Wang next door secretly told herself, if she hadn't been picked up by the village chief that night, it would have become a meal for wolves by now, then there is no such person as Jiang Yuezheng in this world, thinking of this, Jiang Yuezheng laughed self-deprecatingly, lay flat on the big stone on the hill not far from Hongye Village, and raised his head to look at the sky.

Although he is not the village chief's own child, the village chief treats himself as if he were his own child, and he is very kind. The surrounding uncles and aunts did not gossip about themselves behind their backs because they were people from the outside world, but invited themselves to come to the door from time to time to eat.

Jiang Yuezheng got up, picked up the whip that was put aside, drove the old cow who was drinking water on the side, and slowly and skillfully led the cow's nose back to the village in the mountains.

Momiji Village is not a village with a large population, and it is the dream of all young children to be able to get out of Momiji Village since childhood, because they have listened to the village chief talk about the wonderful world outside since they were young, and they have a resolute look at a young age.

Every time Jiang Yuezheng heard the village chief telling the children that the warriors move mountains and reclaim the sea, and one person can block thousands of troops, he just smiled and didn't speak, for Jiang Yuezheng, sometimes it's really good to be quiet.

The village chief struck a gong, and all the men, women and children of the village came to the door of the village chief's house one after another, waiting for the village chief's grandfather to speak.

"I want to tell the villagers a good news, tomorrow, the assessment teacher of Baiyun College in Jianghai County will come to our village to recruit students, the age must not exceed 15 years old, all the children go home early to prepare, waiting for the assessment and enrollment of Baiyun College tomorrow. ”

Baiyun Academy is one of the three major martial arts academies in Jianghai County, but it is ranked last, even if it is the lowest ranked martial academy, it is an unattainable existence for the people of Hongye Village.

Adults all looked at their children, their eyes were full of hope, and they also hoped that their children could become dragons and phoenixes among people, and they could not face the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives, and they could only turn into dry bones when they were old.

"I will definitely enter Baiyun Academy, and I will definitely go to the outside world to explore. A teenager clenched his fists and was full of confidence, but the boy's father just laughed out loud and did not speak.

Jiang Yuezheng glanced at the young man, Jiang Dashan, well, a very second-year teenager.

If it is said to be useful, what else do you have to work hard for? Jiang Yuezheng silently poured cold water on Jiang Dashan in his heart, but he did not say it on the surface, Jiang Yuezheng did not want to arouse the anger of the public.

"Okay, disband......" The village chief waved his hand, signaling that the villagers could leave first and go home to prepare for tomorrow's assessment.

All the villagers went back to their homes, only Jiang Yuezheng remained, Jiang Yuezheng's thin body and pale face made the village chief feel a little heartbroken, who let himself not be able to go to the medicine hall in Jianghai County to buy some elixirs to nourish the spirit and spirit to improve Jiang Yuezheng's physique, every time he thought of this, the village chief would fall into self-blame.

Jiang Yuezheng knew that his essence and spirit were congenitally insufficient, and he had not undergone the cultivation of drugs and resources the day after tomorrow, and if he did not encounter a great opportunity in this life, it would be difficult to start cultivating martial arts.

"The most basic stage of a martial artist is to cultivate the essence and cultivate the qi, so these are the three small realms of the beginner martial artist, and only after breaking through the realm of cultivating the gods can the real martial arts cultivation be opened. Jiang Yuezheng returned to the village chief's house, and had nothing to do, so he went to bed early, because poor families like them didn't have any exercises for them to practice, even the most common and cheapest "Basic Three Realms" on the continent couldn't afford it, and if they wanted to cultivate, they could only fight for their qualifications to enter the academy and use the resources of the academy to cultivate.

Once a martial artist breaks through to the realm after cultivating the gods, he has to replace other more advanced exercises for cultivation, and the grade of the exercises is divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang level from high to low, naturally, martial arts are the same.

I'm afraid that people of my age in Jianghai County have already entered the realm of cultivating essence, or even cultivating qi...... Jiang Yuezheng shook his head when he thought of this.

"I don't know if I can enter Baiyun Academy, if I can, I must cultivate hard. Jiang Yuezheng gave himself a vague confidence, and he himself knew that the chance of entering Baiyun Academy was not great, after all, the lack of congenital foundation was there.

Jiang Yuezheng learned from the mouth of the village chief that the enrollment of Baiyun Academy is actually to test their martial arts talents, generally like this kind of assessment, as long as you have some talent, and the talent is reasonable, you can also enter the academy to cultivate, but it is a little unfair for them to these villagers, because the children in the town can have the resources to cultivate the spirit and spirit, and it is easier than these villagers to enter the academy or even the sect holy land to cultivate.

Jiang Yuezheng's congenital deficiency means that there are defects in his own essence and spirit, even if he really steps into the realm of cultivating essence, the speed of martial arts cultivation is extremely slow, coupled with the weakness of the acquired body, I am afraid that even ordinary people are not as good, which makes him a little confused, is he just relying on this sick body to live like an ordinary person in his life?

Jiang Yuezheng was a little unwilling, but the facts were right in front of him, and he had no conditions to change all this.

"Hey...... It's okay to live carefree like an ordinary person, hoping that after death, there is a paradise where you can go, and you can still live happily there. ”

Jiang Yuezheng took out the ancient jade from his arms, only to see that there was a word "ginger" written on it, speaking of which, Jiang Yuezheng was a little envious of the children in the village who had parents, and he was thrown here without even seeing his parents......

"Forget it...... I don't want to think about it, the more I think about it, the more upset I become, let's sleep...... Tomorrow, the teachers of Baiyun Academy will come here to recruit students. Jiang Yuezheng lay flat on the bed as she spoke.

Even if there is little hope of entering the academy, Jiang Yuezheng still hopes that he can give it a try.

The night is deep, the river not far from the red leaf village reflects the bright moon hanging above the starry sky, the frogs in the field are constantly chirping, the red leaf village is quiet, Jiang Yuezheng just lay on the bed and fell asleep slowly, without saying anything all night......

When the first rays of sunlight shone on Hongye Village in the morning, Jiang Yuezheng had already gotten up and started preparing breakfast, waiting for the teachers of Baiyun College in Jianghai County to come here to enroll students, and the village chief was waiting for the assessment teachers of Baiyun College at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

Jiang Yuezheng came to the entrance of the village unhurriedly, because the village chief was afraid that too much time would be wasted in the assessment, so he set the assessment place at the entrance of the village, so as not to occupy too much time for the teachers of Baiyun Academy.

The men, women, and children of Momiji Village stood on both sides of the village entrance waiting for the assessment teacher, and they also wanted to see the demeanor of real warriors.

A carriage came out of the forest in the distance, and the coachman skillfully drove the carriage and stopped at the entrance of Momiji Village, and the coachman knew the village chief, and after saying hello with a smile, he got off the carriage first, and waited for the big man on the carriage to get off.

The man gently pushed the curtain of the car, and everyone saw the man who got out of the car, only to see that the man was handsome, dressed like jade, and wearing a white crown of hair. The face is as carved as the facial features are distinct, and the angular face is handsome and abnormal. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. With long black and dense hair, and a pair of peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, it is full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. The tall nose and moderately thick red lips are shining with a dizzying smile at this time, which makes many young girls in Hongye Village blush, a breeze blows slightly, and the man's hair flutters in the wind, which is very good-looking.

After the man gently opened the jade fan in his hand, he smiled, looked at the villagers below, and said: "I am the admissions teacher of Baiyun Academy this time, my surname is Lu, my name is Hanshan, everyone just call me Teacher Lu." ”

The faces of the girls below who were originally blushing were even more red, they originally thought that the teacher of the assessment was just an old man with an old fairy wind and bones, but they didn't expect it to be a handsome guy with a good voice, gentle speech, and good strength.

Jiang Yuezheng looked at Lu Hanshan with some disdain, and after secretly scolding herself, she didn't say anything more.

After all, people have that showy capital.

Lu Hanshan laughed softly, his eyebrows were like crescent moons, he turned around and took out a crystal from the carriage, put it on the carriage board, and after signaling the village chief, he stood aside.

The village chief nodded and shouted: "Everyone line up, come one by one, and those who don't participate can just watch from the back." ”

Jiang Yuezheng disdained to compete for a position with a group of children, just stood at the end of the line, looking at the long line in front of him, Jiang Yuezheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he closed his eyes to recuperate.

Lu Hanshan picked up the crystal placed on the car board, looked at the long line in front of him, and said, "As long as you put this test crystal in your hand in a while, I will record your qualifications and results to decide whether to enter Baiyun Academy." With that, he handed the crystal to the boy who was in first place.

The village chief stood beside Lu Hanshan, looking at the children holding the crystal in front of him, he was a little nervous, and the village chief longed for the Red Leaf Village to truly come out of a real martial artist. But looking at Jiang Yuezheng who was standing at the end of the line, he couldn't help but sigh.

"First place...... Yellow grade lower product qualification, unqualified. ”

"Second place...... Yellow-level mid-grade qualification, qualified, standing behind me. ”

"Third place...... No qualifications, no qualifications. ”

......

"Last one...... No qualifications, no qualifications. When Lu Hanshan finished reading the last person, the village chief lowered his head.

Because the last one is Jiang Yuezheng, even though Jiang Yuezheng has long known his situation and is mentally prepared, his results were read out by Lu Hanshan, and his face was a little hot.

Jiang Yuezheng laughed self-deprecatingly, returned to the crowd, Lu Hanshan turned his head to look at the village chief, smiled like a warm spring breeze, and said: "Village chief, let these children go home and prepare, say goodbye to their families, and in half an hour, I will take them to Baiyun Academy in Jianghai County to practice martial arts." ”

The village chief nodded, and when he looked at Jiang Yuezheng, he lowered his body, gently stroked Jiang Yuezheng's little head, smiled, and comforted softly: "It's okay, Xiao Yuezheng, it's good to be an ordinary person...... Spend your life ordinarily and ordinary...... Just like me......" said the village chief, leaving tears in his eyes.

Jiang Yuezheng raised her hand, wiped the tears from the village chief's eyes, and after showing an optimistic smile, comforted the village chief.

"Grandpa, it's okay, I can still live if I don't practice martial arts......" Jiang Yuezheng didn't finish speaking, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to tell the village chief.

The village chief got up and looked at Jiang Yuezheng, his eyes were full of resoluteness, and his eyes were like torches, like an eagle soaring above the nine heavens.

"Yuezheng, tell grandpa, do you really want to cultivate martial arts and become immortal? or...... Enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth? or...... What are you cultivating martial arts for?" The village chief stared at Jiang Yuezheng, he desperately wanted to get an answer from Jiang Yuezheng's mouth.

Jiang Yuezheng lowered his head...... As soon as the village chief's words came out, he was suddenly very confused......

What is the purpose of cultivating martial arts by yourself?

In order to preach immortality, stand at the top of this world, and be worshiped by hundreds of millions of living beings?

Or is it just to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, hold the power of the world, and wake up the knees of beautiful people?

Or......

Jiang Yuezheng suddenly came to her senses, and without too much hesitation, she said directly: "Grandpa...... I don't practice martial arts to achieve immortality, not to be a prince and enjoy glory and wealth, I practice martial arts, just for this piece of jade, I just want to know why my parents threw me here, no matter if I don't ask, it's twelve years......" After speaking, he took out the ancient jade from his arms and handed it to the village chief, with a young little face

The village chief looked at the ancient jade and sighed.

He knew what Jiang Yuezheng was thinking, but Jiang Yuezheng had tested in the test just now that he had no martial arts cultivation talent, and even if he cultivated his spirit and spirit well, it would be difficult for him to step into the lowest threshold of a martial artist.

The village chief looked at the jade in Jiang Yuezheng's hand, took Fang Tang's hand, and took the lead back to the village.

As for the enrollment of Baiyun Academy, he casually handed it over to an old villager to deal with.

At home—

After the two entered the house, the village chief directly locked the door, which couldn't help but make Jiang Yuezheng on the side a little curious.

The village chief's house was not big, and there was a painting hanging on the wall next to Fang Tang's sleep, and the village chief took down the painting, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a dark groove.

The village chief took out a key with him, inserted it into the dark groove, and after glancing at Jiang Yuezheng next to him, he directly pushed open the dark groove, and a small door that accommodated the two of them to pass through appeared.

"You go in...... There is a pool of blood inside, don't hesitate to jump in and take a dip, and when it comes out, it will definitely bring you a lot of surprises......"

The village chief did not directly explain the benefits that the blood pool could bring to Jiang Yuezheng, but Jiang Yuezheng looked at the look on the village chief's face, and was more or less puzzled, but since the village chief asked him to do this, Jiang Yuezheng believed that the village chief would definitely not harm himself.

Before Jiang Yuezheng entered, he glanced back at the village chief who was still kind, but the village chief still motioned for Jiang Yuezheng to enter.

After Jiang Yuezheng entered, what caught his eyes was a bubbling blood-red pool, looking at this bottomless blood pool, Jiang Yuezheng couldn't help but swallow.

But in order to be able to fully embark on the path of martial arts and let himself recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he wanted to climb to the top of this world, and then find his so-called biological parents and ask questions......

Why did you abandon him back then......

Jiang Yuezheng clenched her fists, and she had the perseverance that she shouldn't have at this age at a young age.

"Since the village chief's grandfather let me enter this blood pool...... Then make good use of this opportunity......" Jiang Yuezheng took off his shirt, put it on the big stone on the side, and jumped directly into the pool of blood.

"It's hot...... It hurts......" Jiang Yuezheng's face changed, he couldn't stand the pain that the blood pool brought to him, like a thousand ants devouring his heart, making Jiang Yuezheng's face pale and cold sweat.

Hang on......

In order to be able to cultivate......

To be able to do what you want......

Originally, because of the severe pain caused by the blood pool, when Jiang Yuezheng wanted to shout out, suddenly Jiang Yuezheng was silent and stopped shouting.

Because he was born a waste......

This blood pool is just my first step, I, Jiang Yuezheng, will always step on these nine heavens and be the first person in the eternal sky!
