Back in the mansion, Li Qinghe wanted to say hello to Xia Zhuyue, but Xia Zhuyue was not in the west courtyard, so Li Qinghe wrapped the crystal card and handed it to Xia Zhuyue's maid, telling her to wait for Xia Zhuyue to return and hand it over to her, and then hurriedly returned to the east courtyard.

Back in the room, Li Qinghe took out the golden light and began to study, "Cultivators need to find a waterfall for physical training, and they can't use their internal strength during this period. Only when the physical strength meets the requirements can the practitioner practice the Golden Light Jin, otherwise the practitioner will be unable to withstand the strength of the Golden Light Jin and the meridians will be broken and the physical body will be damaged. ”

"It seems that I have to go to the back mountain to cultivate for a while. "There is a small waterfall in the back mountain of the Li family, although it is not big, but it should be enough to cultivate martial arts.

It stands to reason that Jin Guangjin belongs to the second-grade martial arts, and the strength of the practitioner must at least reach the internal strength of the small amount, but Li Qinghe's Jin Dan is the four patterns that no one has reached, whether it is in terms of internal strength strength or talent, it is far superior to others, and he can barely practice the second-grade martial arts.

Li Qinghe packed up some daily necessities and prepared to go to the back mountain to start his penance.

"Boom... Boom..."

"Little Master, are you in there?"

Li Qinghe heard the voice of the housekeeper Guo Yuan, so he opened the door.

"Little master, this is what the master asked me to send to you. Guo Yuan was holding two sheep fat jade bottles in his hands.

Li Qinghe took the jade bottle, opened it and saw that a fragrance came to his face.

"It's... Gathering Spiritual Fluid?"

"This is the old master heard that the young master your dantian has recovered and can cultivate, so he specially auctioned it from Wanbao Building. Guo Yuan replied.

"Okay, Uncle Guo, I see. Li Qinghe accepted the jade bottle and said to Guo Yuan.

"Okay, little master, I'll go down first. Guo Yuan turned to leave, and couldn't help but sigh: "The little young master has suffered for so many years, and he has finally come out." ”

Guo Yuan, as the housekeeper of the Li family, grew up watching Li Qinghe, and sometimes he couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Li Qinghe being bullied, "It's okay now, the little master can cultivate, and the master finally doesn't have to worry." ”

In the room, Li Qinghe looked at the mutton fat jade bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little moved. Since he knew that Li Qinghe couldn't cultivate, although his father Li Chong didn't ask him much on the surface, in private Li Qinghe knew that his father still cared about him, but his father was not good at expressing it.

"However, my father probably didn't expect that I had already broken through the martial artist not long after I was able to cultivate, so he asked Uncle Guo to send this Qi Gathering Spirit Liquid, wanting me to break through the martial artist as soon as possible. Li Qinghe put the jade bottle into a wooden box.

"Although now that I have broken through the martial arts, I don't need this thing, but I think I can sell this for a good price if I take it out for auction. Li Qinghe knew that this was something that could help break through the martial artist after all, which was extremely needed by any family.

Li Qinghe put the box away, picked up the packed package, and went out to the back mountain.

Coming to the Houshan Waterfall, Li Qinghe investigated the surroundings, and after feeling that there was no problem, he came to the bottom of the waterfall, Li Qinghe looked at the deep imprint made by the big stone below the waterfall, and retreated in his heart, but he knew that if he wanted to pass the clan competition, this was the first hurdle. So he sat cross-legged on the boulder, gritting his teeth and accepting the impact of the waterfall.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Under the waterfall in the mountain behind Li's house, a young man sat cross-legged under the waterfall with his upper body naked, the young man's body was still thin, but if he looked closely, he could find the explosive power under the thin physique.

The person sitting cross-legged was Li Qinghe, who had been practicing for three days, and Li Qinghe had been sleeping in the open for three days, because Li Qinghe was born weak, and he almost couldn't hold on at first, but the obsession in his heart and his tenacity over the years still made him persevere.

"Whew..."Li Qinghe, who was on the stone, exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes, now Li Qinghe was used to the impact of the waterfall, and he felt that his physical body had been greatly improved.

"It should be almost..."Li Qinghe began to guide the heaven and earth aura to run along the specific meridian route of Jin Guangjin in his mind, "Hiss..."Even though Li Qinghe's physical strength has basically reached the requirements of Jin Guangjin now, there are still bursts of swelling pain in the meridians.

"The second-grade martial arts are really not so easy to cultivate, if my physical body is not strengthened, I'm afraid I will faint directly. Li Qinghe endured the swelling pain of the meridians, guiding the aura to run continuously along the specific meridian routes.

Jin Guangjin, as the name suggests, is to form a golden light power in the body, and the warrior needs to constantly guide the aura to operate to form a specific Jin Guangjin internal strength, which can be used directly in actual combat, so that the two fists are indestructible.

Li Qinghe guided the aura to constantly run along the meridians, and quickly adapted to this process, and became more and more proficient.

After a while, Li Qinghe on the stone opened his eyes, "Finally succeeded!" Li Qinghe jumped up from the stone, and punched a few times, the current Li Qinghe is no longer the weak Li Qinghe before, according to his conservative estimate, with his current strength, if he meets Li Chu again, the other party may not be able to go through three rounds in his hands.

"Try the power of the Golden Light. Li Qinghe turned his strength far away, and his fists immediately bloomed with dazzling golden light, Li Qinghe looked at a big tree next to him, and then punched the big tree by the waterfall.

The entire tree was shaken a few times, and if you look closely, you can find that Li Qinghe's fist left a fist mark about half a foot deep on the tree, almost penetrating the entire trunk.

"It's worthy of a second-grade martial art, this power is not to say. Li Qinghe looked at the fist mark on the tree with satisfaction, "Try this big stone again!" Li Qinghe gathered strength again, and hit the stone used in meditation with a heavy punch.

"Bang!"

After a loud bang, the large stone fell apart and was close to shattering.

Li Qinghe grinned, "Not bad, call it a day!"

Li Qinghe packed his package and left the waterfall. Walking on the road back mountain, Li Qinghe wanted to look for the cave he encountered last time, but after turning around several times, he returned to the original point.

"Where this cave is located, there should be an enchantment. "Since the last time he came back from Houshan, Li Qinghe has checked many ancient books and records in the Li family's library and basically determined that this should be an enchantment.

"Barriers like this generally have a special way to enter, and outsiders can't enter unless they are the owner of the barrier. Li Qinghe thought about it, but gave up the idea of continuing to look for the entrance.

"I'm too weak now, so I'll have to wait until I'm stronger to find out. ”

Li Qinghe made up his mind and was ready to wait until he became stronger in the future to explore.

Li Qinghe tightened the package on his body and left the back mountain.

In the hall in the center of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a black robe sat on the main seat of the hall, he was the city lord of Jinling City and the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Chong. On Li Chong's right hand side sat two middle-aged men in gray robes, who looked a little older than Li Chong. The middle-aged man sitting in the first place was sipping the tea in his hand, he was Li Tong, the eldest elder of the Li family, and the middle-aged man in the second was playing with the Buddha beads in his hand, and it was Li Yun, the second elder of the Li family, who looked cynical.

Although the elders of the Li family are only a little older than the patriarch Li, they are all very strong. The Great Elder and Li Chong are both the strength of the Transformation Realm, while the Second Elder is the strength of the peak of the internal strength, and they are even only one step away from the Transformation Realm. Because of this, the strength of Jinling City is also ranked first in the entire dynasty.

"Patriarch, there are still a few days before the big competition within the clan, I heard that Li Qinghe can cultivate again?" the second elder Li Yun asked casually.

"Hmph, what if he can cultivate, is it possible that he can break through the martial artist within a month?" Great Elder Li Tong snorted coldly and said.

"These two old guys..."Li Chong had a headache, he auctioned two bottles of Qi Gathering Spirit Liquid at the auction house on the third floor of Wanbao Building today, and the two elders of course knew the reason why he took it, so they were very unhappy.

"It's a waste for you to give those two bottles of Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid to Li Qinghe, do you think that with that little Qi Gathering Spiritual Liquid, he will be able to break through the martial artist within a month!?" the Great Elder said in a deep voice.

"I believe in him. Although Li Chong said that he believed it, he still hung in his heart, after all, it was not easy to break through from an ordinary person to a martial artist within a month.

"I hope Qinghe won't let me down. Li Chong could only think like this.

The Great Elder was about to say something, but was interrupted by a briefing.

"Report to the head of the house, there is a young lady outside who asks to see you. ”

Li Chong was surprised, "Miss, I don't remember what Miss I know." Although Li Chong was puzzled, he still asked the person who reported her to take her in.

In the hall, a girl in a black dress stood pretty.

If Li Qinghe was here, he would find out that this girl was the beautiful girl he met in Wanbaolou!

"Ahem... cough..."Li Chong took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said, "This young lady, why did you come to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The girl in the black dress didn't answer, and the maid beside her took out a purple gold token from her waist and gave it to Li Chong.

Li Chong and the two elders both changed their faces and stood up from their seats.

"Miss, you are..."Before Li Chong's words could be finished, he was interrupted by the girl in the black dress.

"Needless to say, I'm here for something I want to ask Master Li for help. The girl said lightly.

"But on command. Li Chongdao.

The girl in the black dress took out a painting with a portrait of a medicinal herb.

"I need you to help me find this herb, the more the better. ”

"It's... Nanling Snow Lotus?"

The girl nodded and said, "It is said that this kind of medicinal material is only available in your Jinling City, but I haven't been looking for it here for many days. ”

Li Chong was embarrassed, although the Nanling Snow Lotus was indeed produced near Jinling, but this Snow Lotus was very rare and had not appeared for a long time.

Although Li Chong knew that it was difficult to find, he still said: "I will do my best to find it." ”

The girl nodded, "I'll come back in three days." Then he turned and departed with the maid.

Li Zhong and several elders saluted at the door, "Congratulations to Miss." ”
