On the border of the Southern Wasteland, on the edge of this region bordering the Tanglin Domain, there is a small town called Wanyuan Town. It is said that a powerful person passed through this place and took its name after its topography. Wanyuan, as the name suggests, is the origin of all things - the place where the law is at its peak. The name is really nice, but if you change the name... Ten Thousand Laws are coercive! That is, it is an extremely unsuitable place for cultivation. Although the law is seriously coercive, it is just not suitable for cultivation, and there is no deterrent of any strength. This just makes people not understand how the weak power of a small town can continue in this southern wasteland where monsters are rampant. And that's where the story begins......

In an ordinary house in the town, a skinny teenager punches and kicks a large tree in the yard. At first glance, the boy seemed to be venting his anger. And if you look carefully for a while, you will find that every round of "punching and kicking" of teenagers is regular. Suddenly, the young man's eyes suddenly became much sharper, and he changed the heavy blow to the tree. Begin to attack in one direction with your fingers, fists, elbows, and knees. The internal energy went straight into the trunk of the tree with a dull thud, and each punch shook off some of the leaves on the tree. The strong wind that blows from time to time speaks of the boy's progress, while the grooves in the trees and the fallen leaves on the ground speak of the boy's hard work.

The young man's name is Ling Chen, and he has been practicing with his second uncle since he was a child. There are only two people in the family, because the second uncle is a well-known earth sealer, and his life can be regarded as okay. But the main reason is because of his kindness, and the people who look for him to hunt beasts are poor martial arts cultivators, and they only charge some material fees. This also made his second uncle a good man.

"Dust, it's time to go!" On the street outside the courtyard, a young man with a slightly chubby figure and a slightly immature face directly opened his throat and yelled. "It's going to be right now!" said a muffled voice.

I saw Ling Chen hurriedly walking out of the courtyard, and the door opened with a "creak" and closed with a "bump".

With long black hair, a slightly bright, slightly emaciated physique in the dark pupils, and the book in his hand, I don't know which son I really think. But the big white steamed bun stuffed in his mouth and his somewhat disheveled appearance really ruined people's first impression of him.

And the boy on the street didn't care about this, and slapped his big hand directly on Ling Chen's head. He immediately said speechlessly: "I said that you have nothing to do, why are you looking for abuse? If you don't want to be a seal cultivator with such good conditions, why do you have to endure so much hardship to do martial arts cultivation?"

Ling Chen seemed to be completely accustomed to this small action of the young man, pulled down the steamed bun in his mouth and chewed a few bites, and then said, "The ambition is different." ”

"But you haven't made much progress in practicing so hard! Forget it, listen to my brother's words, give up!" the young man persuaded bitterly.

Ling Chen didn't answer the young man's words, but shouted towards the courtyard, "Second uncle, I'm leaving!"

"Good. A deep voice came from somewhere in the room.

"Qingyun, let's go. Don't be able to catch up when the time comes!" Ling Chen said in a frivolous tone.

Seeing that Ling Chen didn't answer his words, the young man could only sigh helplessly. However, after hearing this, the boy suddenly came to his senses. patted his head, and immediately ran away. While running, he said, "I was miserable by you!"

Ling Chen didn't care: "Isn't it just a punishment station? It's not the first time, it's a fuss!" After taking a bite of the steamed bun, he followed unhurriedly.

The boy called 'Qingyun' is actually called Wang Qingyun and lives opposite Ling Chen's house. The two of them grew up wearing open crotch pants together, and they were completely rotten. And because of 'like-mindedness', a complete fox and dog party. Those trivial bad things in the town, you don't have to guess to know that the two of them did it.

And after the two left, somewhere in Ling Chen's room, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared. This person has vigorous, powerful short hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. But a few gray hairs on his temples indicate that the man is getting old. And he said to himself: "It's been so many years, and I can't even get rid of it." Chen'er will be fourteen years old in a few months, if there is no way to ......" At this point, the middle-aged man did not say any more. sighed, and then faded into the darkness as if it had never appeared......

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a thump, thump, thump... The bells. "Ahh It's as if you want to run up the stone stairs to the academy before the bell ends.

And Ling Chen's friendly reminder in the back: "It's already late, let's appoint! It's just a punishment for an hour." ”

"You said it lightly! Brother, I just accosted a little girl yesterday, and I wanted to make a good impression, but now I have ruined it all by you! It's all your fault!" Wang Qingyun said angrily.

"You said it earlier, I'll help you!" Ling Chen suddenly realized, and said in a tone that I understood.

"Stop for a moment. Ling Chen shouted at Wang Qingyun.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Qingyun seemed to be still angry, and asked angrily.

"Help!" Ling Chen said evilly.

"The butt is up. ”

"What are you doing?" Wang Qingyun raised his butt although he was puzzled.

"Touch!" Ling Chen kicked Wang Qingyun's buttocks, directly kicking Wang Qingyun from the bottom of the steps to the top of the steps. This is a step more than 30 meters high, and Wang Qingyun was kicked up with one kick, which shows that Ling Chen's strength is not ordinarily great! In the middle of the way, he was still taking care of his hair that was blown by the wind......

As soon as Wang Qingyun arrived at the door of the classroom, the last bell rang. Then he smiled and walked from the lecturer's murderous gaze to his seat.

On Ling Chen's side, when Ling Chen walked to the top of the steps, a middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for him. Turning around, he said indifferently, "Come with me." And Ling Chen didn't care about walking into a room with the man.

After arriving at the room, the man changed his indifference outside, and said in a gentle tone: "Ling Chen, you have been studying at the academy for almost three years, and you have been studying martial arts for more than two years, and you have been practicing the Nine Folds for more than half a year. Look, isn't it—" The man said hesitantly.

"Master Liu, do you mean you want me to break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm?"

Liu Shi, formerly known as Liu Yuan, is Ling Chen's martial arts lecturer in the past three years, and he usually "takes good care" of Ling Chen.

"You also know that it won't be long before the academy will test the results of the students' three-year cultivation. And the Academy Ranking Tournament was also at that time. I think that if there is one more student in the academy who cultivates the Qi realm, the ranking of the academy will be higher. This will be beneficial to your further education and the reputation of the college, don't you say?" Liu Shi also said with some embarrassment. It is indeed difficult for him to let a vice dean discuss the future reputation of the college with a child. This also shows how low the college ranking in Wanyuan Town is.

As soon as he heard this, Ling Chen had a headache. Ling Chen had been studying physical cultivation since three years ago, and had already reached the ninth level of physical cultivation two years ago. It is equivalent to breaking through the level of triple quenching and six-fold forging in one year. This kind of speed is completely demonic. It stands to reason that after this talent reaches the ninth level of body training, it will take at most half a year to absorb the aura and reach the qi cultivation realm. But the strange thing is that in the next two years, no matter how Ling Chen absorbed the aura, he didn't break through that level.

"Liushi, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't help you, but you also know that my situation is indeed very special, and the second uncle is already helping me find a way. There are about two months left before the academy ranking competition, and if the second uncle helps me find a way to enter the Qi cultivation realm in these two months, I will definitely let you know when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Ling Chen was quite perfunctory, Liu Shi could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Suddenly, Liu Shi seemed to think of something. Said to Ling Chen: "There are alchemists in big cities, who can make pills with various effects. Although the pill is expensive, it is not such a luxury thing. Just to break through the Qi Cultivation Realm is still overkill. I think, as an earth seal master, it shouldn't be difficult for your second uncle to get this kind of thing, right?"

"Well, I've heard of this kind of thing, so I'll go home and ask the second uncle. Ling Chen was also quite happy when he heard this. He has been trapped in this realm for a year or two, but he still can't find a way to break through, and he is also very anxious.

"Hehe... There's no rush for this, just go back and ask when you're out of school. Let's talk about it now, you're late for class. According to the rules of the academy, should you go to the gate of the academy to punish now?" Liu Shi made a big turn and walked around Ling Chen.

"Huh...?" Ling Chen was stunned for a moment. It seems that ginger is still old and spicy, and things are slowly calculated, one yard to one yard. Ling Chen had a feeling that he had been completely calculated, but in the past few years, he had been calculated by Liu Shi a lot.

An hour later.

"Dust, thank you!" Wang Qingyun said with a grin. Looking at this feeling, I know that it must be very rewarding.

"Put away your lewd smile. Ling Chen said very speechlessly. "By the way, Qingyun, do you know what elixirs are available to break through the Qi Cultivation Realm?" Thinking of what Master Liu said to help him break through the bottleneck, Ling Chen was also particularly concerned.

"Pills? I've heard that all pills are very expensive, and those that can break through the realm are even more sought-after. And I heard that this elixir has side effects, you should use it to think about it more" Wang Qingyun frowned when he heard this, and told Ling Chen very seriously about some of the information he knew.

"You just tell me how you got it, right?" Ling Chen asked impatiently.

"It's good to go back and ask your second uncle? As an old man, he must have more ways than us. Wang Qingyun said, seeing Ling Chen's impatient appearance, Wang Qingyun also knew that it was useless to say more.

"Okay, let's go home first, and then we'll talk about it when we get home. Ling Chen said excitedly. Thinking that he had a clue about the bottleneck that he hadn't broken through for two years, Ling Chen was a little excited and hurried home.
