In the hot summer of June, the country of Heishui, Qi Yunzong.

As one of the oldest cultivation sects in the Black Water Country, Qiyun Sect has a huge square with a length and width of more than a kilometer in front of its mountain gate.

At this time, the front of the Qiyun Sect Gate Square was densely packed with people.

The people crowded here all looked at the path inside the mountain gate of Qiyun Sect, and whenever a young man dressed in a gray miscellaneous disciple uniform ran out of the mountain gate, one or two middle-aged people rushed out in surprise and hugged each other.

Qi Yun Sect has extremely strict management of the miscellaneous disciples in the door, and all the miscellaneous disciples of Qi Yun Sect are not allowed to leave the mountain unless they are humane.

However, the miscellaneous disciples of the Qiyun Sect are not allowed to leave the mountain, but the relatives of the miscellaneous disciples can come to visit once a year.

June was the only month each year that Qi Yun Sect allowed relatives to visit the miscellaneous disciples in the sect, so from the beginning of June, Qi Yun Sect's mountain gate square was crowded with relatives who came to visit their children.

Even though it was the end of June now, the relatives of the miscellaneous disciples of the Qiyun Sect who came to visit were still in an endless stream.

Ye Tiancheng and his wife are also among them.

When the mountain gate was opened in the morning, they handed over the letter, but now it was almost noon, but they had not seen their son Ye Zhen yet.

Ye Tiancheng was okay, but Ye Zhen's mother, Mi Jiangxue, who was carrying a long sword and showing a bit of heroism in her virtuousness, was so anxious that she was sweating.

If it weren't for the great rules of the Qi Yun Sect, Mi Jiangxue would probably have the urge to rush into the Qi Yun Sect to find his own son, Ye Zhen.

Suddenly, Mi Jiangxue grabbed Ye Tiancheng's arm and tightened suddenly, and Ye Tiancheng's gaze suddenly became pleasantly surprised.

"It's true, it's true!"

Inside the mountain gate of Qiyun Sect, a heroic young man dressed in a gray robe, with a long figure and sword eyebrows, was running with sweat on his head.

There are many peaks in the Qiyun Sect, and the area is vast, since receiving the news from the steward, Ye Zhen has been rushing over non-stop, but he still let him run for more than two hours before he reaches the mountain gate.

"Dad!"

Far away, Ye Zhen saw his parents who were anxiously waiting there, and in a cry of surprise and crying, Ye Zhen pounced.

When Ye Zhen was still hesitating, Mi Jiangxue took his son into his arms.

At the age of fifteen, he left home and entered the Qiyun Sect to become a miscellaneous disciple, although it was Ye Zhen's own insistence.

But after nearly a year of being away, Ye Zhen still missed his parents very much, and at first sight, his nose was sour.

"Really, you've lost weight and you're dark. ”

The family moved to the pavilion next to the road, telling the thoughts of parting, especially Mi Jiangxue, touching left and right, no matter where it was, it was his son who lost weight and suffered hardship.

As for Ye Zhen's muscles on his arms over the past year, and his chest that has become strong, he didn't see it at all.

"Zhen'er, it's been a year since you joined the sect, how have you cultivated in the past year?" After some homely work, his father Ye Tiancheng opened his mouth to ask.

As soon as he heard this, Ye Zhen's face turned pale.

In the past year, Ye Zhen is confident that the efforts he has made are not less, but the progress of cultivation is relatively slow.

"Dad, I have just broken through to the late stage of blood training, and the amount of strength fluctuates around a thousand catties, which can be regarded as blood and veins. Ye Zhen's voice was a little weak.

Ye Tiancheng and Mi Jiangxue's brows furrowed at the same time, and Ye Tiancheng's brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

"It shouldn't be, even if your bloodline talent is only the middle grade of the three veins, but in eleven months, how can you also have blood and qi like a wave, reach the peak of blood training, and the amount of strength is close to about two thousand catties?"

Ye Zhen was silent.

"When I was in Qiyun Sect, my bloodline talent was half a grade lower than yours, and I only had three lower veins, but in one year, my cultivation also successfully reached the peak of blood refining, and I passed the first year assessment of the sect, and now the one-year period is approaching, are you lazy?"

When Ye Tiancheng was grimacing, Mi Jiangxue elbowed Ye Tiancheng suddenly, glared and said, "What are you talking about?"

"My son is average, I admit it. But this bloodline talent was raised by his father and mother, no wonder he is. But who dares to say that my son doesn't work hard and doesn't care about his cultivation, and the old lady is desperate with him. ”

was glared at by Mi Jiangxue, but Ye Tiancheng smiled bitterly, "The Qiyun Sect takes the exam once a year, and the miscellaneous disciples enter the sect for one year, if the cultivation is not at the peak of blood refining, but if they are directly expelled from the sect, I am not in a hurry."

The miscellaneous disciples of Qiyun Sect started at the age of fifteen, took an exam every year, and entered every three years.

If at the age of eighteen, if you cultivate to break through the triple peak of blood refining, you can enter the outer sect disciple with a great future.

The outer disciple of Qi Yun Sect, that is the officer of the Black Water Country, Shake Blue.

As long as he can become an outer disciple of Qiyun Sect, even if he cultivates in the future, he will not be able to run away.

The military position of commander is counted, and the military of the Blackwater Country can barely reach the middle level.

For most people, the position of commander is already on the rise, and with a little development, you can inherit the family.

But on the contrary, if the cultivation at the age of eighteen did not break through to the fourfold blood refining, even the miscellaneous disciples were not qualified to do it. Not to mention getting Qi Yunzong's recommendation to take up a military position in the military of the Black Water Country.

What's even worse is that the Qiyun Sect takes an exam once a year, and the miscellaneous disciples enter the sect for one year, if the cultivation cannot reach the peak of blood refining, they will be directly driven out of the sect.

And now, in another month, Ye Zhen will usher in Qi Yun Sect's annual big test for miscellaneous disciples.

Ye Tiancheng's worries also come from this.

Looking at his father who was worried about him, and then looking at his mother who was trying to protect him, Ye Zhen looked astringent.

Father's doubts are also his incomprehension.

In the eleven months since he joined the sect, Ye Zhen's cultivation has not been hard, but the growth of his cultivation has been extremely slow.

He entered the sect at the same time, and even the same sect with only two veins of bloodline talent broke through to the late stage of blood cultivation two or three months ago, not to mention the strength of 14500 catties.

The same sect with similar bloodline talent to him, his cultivation has already reached the peak of blood refining.

This situation made Ye Zhen extremely puzzled.

Sometimes, Ye Zhen even had some doubts about whether his bloodline talent had been mismeasured.

However, when he tested his bloodline talent, the three and a half bloodline shadows that appeared on his chest were what he had seen with his own eyes.

With such a play, for a while, the atmosphere became a little dull.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchang took a breath: "Son, why don't you go home with your father." Staying in Qi Yunzong didn't have much to do, and he suffered a few years of sins in vain. Go home with my father, we don't have to worry about food and clothing, why bother to suffer this sin?"

"Yes, Zhen'er, although our family is not very good, but with this strength, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, the girl in the town will marry you five or six for your mother, and it is really not a problem. Mi Jiangxue patted her chest and said.

"Marry five or six sons?" Ye Tiancheng was stunned, and seemed to be shocked by Mi Jiangxue's words.

Mi Jiangxue glanced at Ye Tiancheng, "What's the matter, you want to too?" The fierceness between the eyebrows has been undoubtedly revealed, just waiting for Ye Tiancheng to respond to this words.

Ye Tiancheng hurriedly shook his head, for fear that if he denied it slowly, he would be offended.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing.

After the family finished laughing, Mi Jiangxue's expression became solemn, "Zhen'er, my mother is telling the truth, otherwise, let's go home with my mother, why do you suffer this crime? ”

Ye Zhen was stunned, raised his head slightly, and looked at the clear blue sky.

The scene of a young girl flying overhead like a fairy once again resurfaced.

That scene made Ye Zhen have an extremely strong impulse - he also wanted to crisscross this blue sky, how chic would it be?

The impulse of young people has become Ye Zhen's lifelong or current pursuit of dreams and persistence.

Looking at his son's expression, although Ye Tiancheng was a little unbearable, he still spoke: "Son, even if you don't leave at this time, a month later, it will be the annual miscellaneous disciple exam of Qi Yunzong, at that time"

Ye Tiancheng's meaning couldn't be clearer, if he didn't leave at this time, he would have to be kicked out of the sect in a month.

Ye Zhen saw it clearly, when his father Ye Tiancheng said this, his eyes were already full of disappointment.

His father, Ye Tiancheng, also enrolled in the Qiyun Sect back then, but during the three-year period, he did not break through to the fourfold of blood training, and was expelled from the sect by the Qiyun Sect.

But this incident has always been cited by Ye Tiancheng as a lifelong legacy.

Ye Tian came to pin this wish on his son Ye Zhen, but now Ye Zhen

Ye Zhen's face suddenly became resolute and solemn: "Dad, mother, I won't go back." I swear that I will definitely become an outer disciple of the Qiyun Sect. ”

"And swear?"

Father Ye Tiancheng's eyes immediately widened, "Don't say whether you can break through to the fourth level of blood refining within three years, just say that right now, how will you pass the sect exam in a month?"

No matter how heavy it is, his father Ye Tiancheng can't bear to say it.

"Dad, mother, believe me, I will definitely be able to!" When he swore this sentence, Ye Zhen couldn't help but think of the little secret he had discovered a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly became extremely resolute.

Whether it's for his childhood dreams or for his own wishes, he has to persevere!

When Ye Tiancheng wanted to say something, he was elbowed by Mi Jiangxue again, and the atmosphere became a little heavy again.

"Okay, if you want to keep it, keep it. With a cold snort, his father Ye Tiancheng said nothing more with a calm face.

Mother Mi Jiangxue pulled Ye Zhen aside, stuffed a few packages and said, "Your father knows the doorway in the Qiyun Sect, and many things in it require extra money.

Here, it's your father's hard-earned 100 taels of silver this year, you can collect it, buy something if you lack something."

"In this baggage, there are a few pairs of shoes made by my mother for you, as well as a few sets of new clothes, as well as your favorite roast chicken and bacon"

Listening to his mother Mi Jiangxue's words, Ye Zhen's eyes blurred instantly.

His own family background knows that although he has a few acres of land, it is easy to eat and rich, and he has to accept the exploitation of the clan.

I haven't seen him for a year, and my father's sideburns have become a little pale, obviously because he has suffered too much.

At this moment, Ye Zhen almost had the urge to go home with his father.

"Give, take. Looking at the moisture in her son's eyes, her mother Mi Jiang Xueqiang stuffed the package into Ye Zhen's hand.

"Wait!"

Just as Mi Jiangxue stuffed the package into Ye Zhen's hand, Ye Tiancheng suddenly strode over and took the package.

Then, in the somewhat surprised eyes of Mi Jiangxue and Ye Zhen, he modeled in his arms, took out two big silver ingots, and stuffed them in.

Looking at Ye Tiancheng's movements, Mi Jiang Xue paused for a moment, "Tiancheng, how do you stuff the coil that went back in"

Halfway through the words, Mi Jiangxue, who reacted, covered her lips suddenly.

Father Ye Tiancheng ignored his mother and stuffed the package back into Ye Zhen's hand, "Zhen'er, I remember that in the Qiyun Sect, the Blood Yuan Pill is two hundred taels of silver, right?"

I'll give you two hundred taels of silver, and remember to buy one when you go back."

With this Blood Yuan Pill to improve your cultivation, it is enough for you to survive the annual sect assessment of Qi Yun Sect. ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian slapped Ye Zhen on the shoulder as usual, "Good boy, don't disappoint your father!"

Feeling the strength of the slap that was sharply reduced compared to before, and then looking at his father Ye Tiancheng's decrepit face now, Ye Zhen looked suspicious, grabbed his father's wrist vein, and exclaimed sharply, "Dad, your cultivation?"

In the past, the surging qi and blood in his father's body, and the beating wrist veins, could play Ye Zhen's fingers with a faint pain, which was Ye Zhen's favorite game when he was intimate with his father when he was a child, and he always felt fun.

But now, the strength of the jump in that wrist vein

"What's the fuss, your father's cultivation has not broken through to the Jingyuan realm, as soon as a person gets old, his qi and blood decay, this cultivation will naturally fall"

Ye Tiancheng withdrew his hand from his son's hand a little strongly, trying his best to hide the bitterness on his face.

"Son, let's go, Dad is optimistic about you!"

Waving his hand vigorously, his father Ye Tiancheng pulled Mi Jiangxue, who still wanted to say something, and walked down the mountain, leaving Ye Zhen stunned in place, tears had blurred his eyes.

My father is less than forty years old this year, and he is in the prime of life.

As long as the benefits are properly replenished, how can the qi and blood decay?

It was obviously my father's hard work in order to save money, and he was reluctant to eat something good

Watching his parents' backs disappear into the mountains, Ye Zhen waved his hand fiercely, carrying the heavier and heavier package in his hand, and walked towards the mountain gate.

Walking on the mountain road, Ye Zhen, whose tears had been wiped dry, had become extremely tenacious.

"I must become an outer disciple, and only by becoming an outer disciple can I reduce the burden on my parents and fulfill my father's wishes. ”

Ye Zhenzhi said that his insistence was too stubborn.

But Ye Zhen is not the kind of person who is brainless and stubborn.

Ye Zhen knew very well that with his current cultivation speed, not to mention that his cultivation had broken through to the fourth level of blood refining and becoming an outer disciple, even if he successfully passed the annual big exam of Qi Yun Sect, it was very problematic.

Ye Zhen is very clear about this.

The reason why Ye Zhen is still so insistent is because Ye Zhen has a little secret that no one knows.

A little secret that makes Ye Zhen look forward to it.
