Chapter 001: The Boy Here

"I didn't steal the secret method!"

"This is a false accusation!"

Lu Ping'an sat up from the bed abruptly and woke up in a cold sweat.

Damn! It's another nightmare!

It had been three months since he was reborn in this Tianyuan Continent, and Lu Ping'an couldn't remember how many times he had dreamed of this scene. But the memory of this body told him that it had really happened.

He was originally an exchange student studying in the United States for a Ph.D., and was finally hired by the HGP Research Center in the United States with excellent results, becoming the only Chinese researcher in the genome of the HGP Research Center in the United States, specializing in human genes. It just so happens that because of his Chinese descent, he has been excluded from the research center on the fringes of the core topics of AI and human genes. In an accident, Lu Ping'an broke the core secret of the research center's AI and human gene topics, which attracted the secret killing of the research center's agents.

While fleeing the laboratory in a panic, Lu Ping'an accidentally touched the AI self-destruct program. In less than ten seconds, the HGP Research Center, which had cost tens of billions of dollars to build, rose into a mushroom cloud and was instantly razed to the ground, and Lu Ping'an was naturally annihilated in the dust.

When he woke up again and regained consciousness, he had already become a teenager who had been abolished and cultivated by the Lu family in Wanqiu City in the Cangwu Kingdom of the Tianyuan Continent - Lu Ping'an.

Three months was enough for Lu Ping'an to fuse the memory fragments of his previous master and accept the identity of his former master, Lu Ping'an. His words and deeds, and his living habits are all traces of his previous master, Lu Ping'an. Even sometimes, subtly, Lu Ping'an felt that he was Lu Ping'an of Wanqiu City!

If it weren't for the addition of a system brought out of the HGP Research Center in his mind, Lu Ping'an would even feel that all the memories of the earth were just a dream!

The previous owner of this body, Lu Ping'an, was seriously injured to death because his cultivation was abolished, so that his soul could be reborn. As for why the predecessor Lu Ping'an was abolished and cultivated, after three months of memory fusion, how could he still be unclear?

He learned through his memory that the original owner's sixfold cultivation of the martial arts realm had always been the original owner's own secret, and no one in the Lu family knew about it. Only once, when he had just successfully broken through the realm, he was excitedly trying how to solidify the aura into the body armor around his body in the room, and there was a little movement. As a result, when he walked out of the door after his practice, the housekeeper Bai Bo told him that when he was practicing, Young Master Qianqiu had come.

Young Master Qianqiu is his cousin Lu Qianqiu.

Three days later, he was taken to the Law Enforcement Hall, and was deprived of his cultivation by the elders of the clan on the charge of secretly practicing the family's secret method "Dragon Bird Zhao Nerve".

Lu Qianqiu, Lu Qianqiu, are you ......

"Shhh

Suddenly, the pain in the heart struck again, disturbing Lu Ping'an's thoughts.

He felt that every joint of his body was being gnawed by thousands of ants, and at the same time, the nerves connected to his temples began to throb and throb, and half of his head seemed to be cracked.

"Ahh

Lu Ping'an curled up in pain. For three months, he had to experience this pain almost every night. This is the sequelae of being forcibly abolished and repaired. Every night he could only sleep for an hour or two, and then he was either awakened by nightmares or pain......

Each time, the pain would last for about a quarter of an hour, and then slowly subside.

Lu Ping'an struggled to sit up on the fence next to the bed, he sighed, simply moved his body slowly to get out of bed, and struggled to dress neatly with his somewhat numb and stiff fingers.

At this time, the night was already dark, he secretly went out and walked towards the family's refining workshop, as a family waste who had been abolished from cultivation, in the past three months, no one would pay attention to what he did, which provided him with enough freedom and time for his cultivation.

Although the refinery is an important place for families, the scrapyard where the waste materials are stacked is not guarded at night, and it is very quiet.

For Lu Ping'an, this is the most suitable place for him to practice at the moment.

Walking to the center of the scrap yard, looking around, and confirming that there was no one, Lu Ping'an carefully took out a Yellow Rank Lower Grade Spirit Stone from his arms, which was given to him by his cousin Lu Linglong. Now in this family, only this little cousin, who has just turned ten years old, still regards him as a relative.

Lu Ping'an held the spirit stone in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, the palms of his hands warmed, and then there was a burst of restlessness from the dantian, which resonated with the spirit stone.

Lu Ping'an didn't dare to delay, and immediately sat cross-legged, ran Zhou Tian, and refined the spirit stone.

At this moment, the familiar voice in my head sounded again.

"System Class: Level 1

Bloodline: 0/50, Bloodline required for upgrade: 50

Judgment: Yellow rank spirit stone lower grade, aura value: 15

Result: Devouring Success!

Current Aura: 15. ”

Lu Ping'an opened his eyes suddenly, and the Yellow Rank Spirit Stone in his hand had lost its surface brilliance, and had turned into a pitch-black ordinary rock.

At this moment, he felt a lightness in his body, and the feeling was like he could fly to the beam of the house with a strong jump.

From Lu Ping'an's memories of cultivation in the past, he knew that this was the feeling when he stepped into the fourfold martial arts realm.

Finally it worked!

These days, after refining more than a dozen lower-grade spirit stones, he had finally advanced from the first-level cultivation of the Martial Dao Realm, which was the only remaining Martial Dao Realm first-level cultivation after being drained of the Qi Sea, to the fourth-level Martial Dao Realm!

If he didn't have this system in his mind, Lu Ping'an believed that he would probably not be able to return to the Martial Dao Realm Quadruple in this life.

This system, called the "devouring system", Lu Ping'an doesn't know how it appeared in his mind, but he believes that it is inseparable from the secret of the AI human gene in the HGP Research Center.

Now that he had returned to the Fourfold Beginner Rank of the Martial Dao Realm, he knew that this meant that he could finally practice the exercises left to him by his father Lu Tianbo.

Lu Ping'an couldn't wait to take off the jade seal around his neck.

This jade seal is not only a relic left to him by his father, but also the real reason why Lu Ping'an's realm has improved rapidly before he was abolished. It's not something to steal the secret method of the family.

Lu Ping'an took a deep breath, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and burst out of his aura.

WhewW......

Just after Lu Ping'an released the aura in his body, a magical scene happened, and the flawless mutton fat jade seal suddenly emitted a faint green light like fluorescent stone.

At the same time, the aura that diffused on the surface of Lu Ping'an's body also converged into the jade seal like the river water that was sucked into the whirlpool.

The jade seal grew brighter and brighter, and at the end, a beam of light shot out of it, projecting dense words on the flat ground.

Yes, there is a technique hidden in this jade seal, but even Lu Tianbo, Lu Ping'an's genius father who has passed away, and Lu Tianbo, who is known as the first person in Wanqiu City's bloodline talent, can't read it all.

Obviously, this is a more advanced qi training method than the Lu family's "Dragon Sparrow Shines on the Nerves".

When he was tried in the Law Enforcement Hall, in order to keep this secret, Lu Ping'an didn't say a word about it, so that Lu Tianwang had a more adequate reason to convict Lu Ping'an.

This exercise is called "The Source of the Qi Body", and the whole text is 1,084 words, but Lu Ping'an can only read the first two lines, less than 100 words.

Even so, Lu Ping'an still relied on these less than a hundred words, and before the age of sixteen, he broke through to the sixth level of the martial arts realm.

From beginning to end, Lu Ping'an carefully browsed "The Source of Qi Body".

This time, he could still only read about a hundred words, and the words after that were too obscure to have a clue.

Lu Ping'an didn't think much about it, sat cross-legged and meditated, and began to practice according to the practice method guided by the first two lines of the exercise.

Different from the traditional method of practicing qi, the method guided by "The Source of Qi Body" is not just to store the aura collected into the body in the sea of qi.

Instead, after running a special week, the aura is condensed into a liquid state, and then the "aura seeds" are buried in the depths of the sea of qi just like an old farmer planting crops.

Rustle rustle......

I saw Lu Ping'an's hands and ankles exposed outside his clothes, and orange-red veins appeared, this is the foundation of whether he can become a cultivator in the Eastern Continent, the innate bloodline!

As Lu Ping'an operated Zhou Tian, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was continuously separated from the air, and through the seven meridians and eight veins, it continued to converge into the sea of qi at the dantian.

Time passed minute by minute, Lu Ping'an was immersed in cultivation, concentrating, and the whole person seemed to be integrated into this world.

......

"Who? Who's there?"

A sharp voice interrupted Lu Ping'an's cultivation.

He is familiar with this voice, it is the Wu steward of the Instrument Workshop!

He knew that this Wu steward, a full of inflammatory and powerful people, had been in the Lu family for almost ten years, and later joined Lu Qianqiu's door as a minion.

But in the middle of the night, what is he doing in this scrap yard?

Listening to Steward Wu's footsteps getting closer and closer, Lu Ping'an hurriedly buried the "Spiritual Qi Seed" into the sea of qi, he knew that he wanted to hide his whereabouts, but it was too late, so he simply calmly greeted him.

"Who am I, it turns out to be Steward Wu! Why haven't you slept so late?" Lu Ping'an walked to a position more than a foot away from Steward Wu, and stopped.

"Lu Ping'an, in the middle of the night, why are you in the scrapyard?" Steward Wu frowned when he saw Lu Ping'an.

The corners of Lu Ping'an's mouth raised slightly, and he asked lightly: "Steward Wu, is the waste yard the territory of the Lu family?"

"Of course!" Steward Wu didn't want to reply.

"Isn't that the end?" Lu Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and was about to leave.

Steward Wu looked puzzled and called: "Wait, what's the end?"

Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "You said that this is the family territory, as a child of the Lu family, why can't I appear here?"

"You ......" Steward Wu choked hard at Lu Ping'an's words, but he was even more surprised that Lu Ping'an's attitude was different from usual tonight.

You must know that since Lu Ping'an was forcibly abolished and cultivated, he has been a waste in the mansion, his family has given him up, and he himself lives like a walking corpse all day long.

Up and down in this house, anyone can ridicule him.

Steward Wu is the master of the dog and the people, and he relies on Lu Qianqiu in the house as a backer, so he often ridicules this young master of peace who was high in the past on weekdays.

But what's going on tonight?

How did this waste young master become so sharp-tongued?

"What am I?"

Lu Ping'an looked at Steward Wu with burning eyes, and continued to say lightly: "The Lu family is still the Lu family, no matter how unfortunate the children of the Lu family are, they are still your masters after all." If you forget your identity and dare to act as a slave and bully your master, ten Lu Qianqiu will not be able to save you!"

Lu Ping'an's voice was not loud, but every sentence and word was like a hammer, beating on Steward Wu's heart, making him can't help but tremble slightly in his heart.

Momentum!

Steward Wu instantly felt the momentum that Lu Ping'an had invisibly revealed!

How is this possible?

How can a family abandoned son who has been abolished and cultivated, have such a coercive momentum!

Delusion! It must be an illusion!

When he saw Lu Ping'an turn around, he was about to drift away, naturally he couldn't stop there, if Lu Ping'an was allowed to leave so cheaply today, would he still be able to plant a flag in the refining workshop in the future?

"Lu Ping'an, put away your young master's shelf, do you still think it's when your father Lu Tianbo is alive?"

Steward Wu shouted at Lu Ping'an's back, and teased in his throat, "This time is different from the past, if you want to show the majesty of your young master Ping'an, let your dead ghost father crawl out of the coffin......!"

"You're looking for death!"

Lu Ping'an's voice has not fallen, and the person has arrived.

I saw Lu Ping'an's body shake, and in an instant, he turned into a figure, and instantly moved to Steward Wu.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled out a dagger he carried with him, hooked his arm, and with just a momentary movement, he cut through Steward Wu's throat and took his life.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat, a combat technique that defeats the enemy and takes people's lives with one move, was taught to him by his father to defend himself. However, it is necessary for the caster to have a cultivation above the fourfold primary level of the martial arts realm in order to be silent, quickly cast, directly take the life, and kill the enemy with one sword!

Today, he did!

Steward Wu covered his neck gushing out of blood, stared at Lu Ping'an with wide eyes, and made a rapid "ho-ho" sound in his mouth, with disbelief in his eyes.

Boom!

Steward Wu fell to the ground with a bang and returned to the west with his life.

That snarky mouth is finally closed!

In fact, with Lu Ping'an's current cultivation at the fourth level of the martial arts realm, it would be easy to kill Wu Guanshi. However, he still chose this hand-to-hand combat method taught him by his father, and solved this dogleg with his own hands.

Because of insulting him, he can bear it, but insulting his father, who has a deep imprint in his mind, is absolutely not!

He wiped the blood stains on the dagger on Steward Wu's corpse, looked at his corpse, and muttered to himself: "Lu Qianqiu, kill your dog's legs!

Then he groped around Steward Wu's body for a while, trying to find out if there were any spirit stones on the other party's body, and if he wanted to continue to improve his cultivation, he also needed a large number of spirit stones.

After fumbling for a while, I suddenly touched a hard object, which was a brocade box.

He cautiously opened the brocade box and found that it was actually an earth-level spirit beast core inside.

Lu Ping'an suddenly understood the reason why Steward Wu appeared in the refining workshop late at night - stealing the spirit beast core!

The spirit beast core is obtained from hunting spirit beasts, and its effect is similar to that of the qi sea that gathers spiritual energy in the dantian of the human body, and it can be used to improve its own strength after refining, which is a rare treasure.

I didn't expect this Wu steward to be a self-thief!

"Since it's ill-gotten gains, I'll reluctantly collect it, master!"

Saying that, Lu Ping'an put the brocade box into his arms.

He ignored the corpse of the Wu steward and left the scrap yard by himself.

......

The next day, the entire Lu family began to spread the news that the refining workshop had been stolen and that Steward Wu had died. The Lu family was panicked for a while, and many subordinates of the refining workshop were brought into the law enforcement hall for strict interrogation.

Only Lu Ping'an's residence is still calm.

No one doubts that a wasted person who has been abolished and cultivated can kill Steward Wu, who is the triple of the Martial Dao Realm, and looking at Steward Wu's death, he was killed with a knife, and he didn't even struggle.

If there is no cultivation above the triple peak of the martial arts realm, it will definitely not be possible. This is also the reason why Lu Ping'an did not clean up the scene after killing Steward Wu and destroyed the corpse, because no one would suspect him, a waste person of the Lu family.

On the shore of Taihe Lake, Lujia Law Enforcement Hall.

Law enforcement elder Lu Tianwang closed his eyes and sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, listening to his subordinates' report on the case of the death in the refining workshop.

"Elder Lu, we have already checked all the disciples of the Refining Workshop. I also checked the disciples of the Lu family's martial arts realm who cultivated above the triple peak, and found no suspicious people. ”

"Didn't find it?"

Lu Tianwang slowly opened his eyes, "It's all a bunch of waste! I can't do anything at all!" Lift the body of Steward Wu up. ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Steward Wu's body was carried to the hall of the Law Enforcement Hall. Lu Tian looked up and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

The next moment, his eyes couldn't help but widen!

How so?
