The Shenwu Continent is vast and immense.

The people of the Shenwu Continent advocate martial arts, and people absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and respect martial arts. Legend has it that when martial arts are cultivated to a high level, they can fly to the sky and the earth, move thousands of miles horizontally, pick up the stars with their hands, and explode the sun and moon with their fists, which is extremely powerful.

The sky breaks the forest, boundless, and perhaps no one knows how vast it is.

On the north side of the Heavenly Broken Forest, there is a castle whose name is Deshan Castle. The castle of Izuyama belonged to the Great Xia Kingdom. Because the mountain city is adjacent to the Heavenly Broken Forest, it is the only way to enter and exit the Heavenly Broken Forest. The Tianduan forest is rich in resources, and many people go into the mountains every day to collect medicinal herbs, hunt and hunt for treasures, and those who have harvested also need to bring out the harvested things and sell them in the mountain town, or bring them to the county town or all over the country through the mountain town, which all need to pass through the mountain town. Therefore, although Deyama Castle is a small town under the jurisdiction of the county seat, it is also quite prosperous.

There are many families living in the city, among which Wang, Cao, Zhang, and Li are the four major families, each of which has several thousand people, and the rest of the families are more or less in number, but they are not as powerful as the four major families. This is mainly because the ancestors of these four families are all martial arts level three, and each family also has martial arts level family members. Among them, the Wang family is the city lord appointed by the county town, in addition to the ancestor is the third level of martial arts, there is also the city lord who is the second level of martial arts, and several other family members of the first level of martial arts, the Wang family has a deep background in the county town. The Cao family is the most powerful family except for the Wang family, not only is the number of martial artists no less than the city lord's family, but also the descendants of the future generations are full of geniuses, and they are more and more imposing to surpass the city lord's family. The descendants of the Zhang family are not prosperous, although the martial arts level is not less than that of other families, but the descendants are in decline. The situation of the Li family is even worse, the old ancestor was originally the most powerful of the several families, but when he killed a second-level demon beast seven-step snake in the Tianduan Mountain Range, he was poisoned by the snake, and after he came back, he has been in retreat at home, and no one knows what his injuries are. It is precisely because of this that the juniors of the Li family are all cautious outside and do not dare to provoke right and wrong. But even so, the descendants of the Li family were still bullied by other families, especially the descendants of the Cao family.

Li Yuan is one of the descendants of the Li family, and he is already twelve years old. Although he worked very hard every day to get through the meridians, he had only opened two meridians so far.

Here, the main way to practice martial arts is to temper the body, absorb aura, and open up the meridians. Martial artists begin to cultivate since childhood, and generally by the age of fourteen, they must be able to open up the meridians, otherwise, the meridians will be closed and hardened, and they will never be able to open up in the future, that is, it is impossible to become a martial artist, that is, a mortal. If there is no special opportunity, such as being able to find the elixir Tongmai Dan that can open up the meridians, or finding the elixir spirit grass that can open up the meridians, it is basically impossible for Li Yuan to completely open up the meridians and step into the martial arts realm. But Tongmai Pill is a spirit pill, and the price is expensive, and there is no sale in Izuyama City at all. The elixir spirit grass that can open up the meridians is also extremely rare, and it is impossible to find it until the extreme depths of the Tianduan Mountain Range. And the depths of the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range are extremely dangerous, there are all kinds of demon beasts in it, as well as other dangers, and ordinary people don't dare to go deep into the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range at all. The ancestor of the Li family was bitten in the depths of the Tianduan Mountain Range, and that was the third level of martial arts.

Li Yuan began to practice martial arts in the family-run school since he was six years old, although he worked extremely hard and learned very well in writing and arithmetic, but he did not have the talent to practice martial arts. Here, every three meridians are counted as level 1, all twelve meridians are counted as level 4, and the eight meridians and the middle meridian are level 5, 6 or 7, and all the meridians are opened, so it is necessary to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the meridians. The 12 meridians are full of the passage realm, that is, the eighth level of martial disciples, and the eight meridians and the middle meridians are full of the ninth level of martial disciples. "The meridians are connected, and the dantian is opened," that is, to enter the Kaidan realm, that is, the martial arts realm.

If you can't fully open up the meridians at the age of fourteen, then it is impossible to continue to cultivate martial arts, you have to enter the family business as an apprentice, or join the family hunting team, treasure hunting team to earn money to support the family, of course, you can also find your own job, the family's money only cultivates those who have a promising future, can become a high-level martial artist or martial artist, can protect the family, make the family grow stronger, and can glorify the ancestors. Each family has its own business and hunting team, and all the harvest of business and hunting treasure goes to the family, and individuals can be rewarded with corresponding silver according to their contributions. But if it is an individual's private gain, it belongs to the individual.

In Deshan Castle, the main business is inns, restaurants, the purchase of medicinal herbs, animal fur pills, and pharmacies for the treatment of various injuries and diseases.

Several major families are involved in various aspects of business, so there is competition and various contradictions. Nominally, the Wang family is the city lord appointed by the county town, with the city lord's guard, and the royal law prohibiting breaking the law and committing crimes, but if there is a fight, the law can only clean up the mess and will not do much. The relationship between the big and small families in the mountain city is complicated, and it is nominally under the leadership of the city lord's mansion, but the Cao family and others are not controlled at all, and they are still restrained in the city, and they do whatever they want in the mountains, lawless. So he had sharp contradictions with several others. If it weren't for the fear that the loss would be too great in a fight with other families and hurt the family's roots, the Cao family would have had no scruples.

When Li Yuan was five years old, he once played with Cao Tao of the Cao family by the river, and Cao Tao was also five years old at the time. When Cao Tao walked to a rock, his foot slipped and fell into the river, and he fell on his head, and he covered his head and went home, but he told his family that Li Yuan pushed him into the river. The people of the Cao family did not distinguish between black and white, ran to Li Yuan's house, and beat Li Yuan's parents, causing his parents to be seriously injured and fall ill. Li Yuan's parents are mortals who have no pulse, and in addition, they have fallen ill, their health has been poor, and their family life is difficult. At that time, the Li family once looked for the Cao family theory and sued the city lord, but the result was unsuccessful.

Cao Tao of the Cao family has an extremely good talent in martial arts, refining his body at the age of six, opening up all the meridians at the age of eight, and reaching the seventh level of martial arts, which is regarded as a miracle and widely spread. The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom once ordered: All the descendants who have extremely outstanding martial arts talents, the city lords of each county must report to the emperor, because a martial artist with great potential may be the reliance and savior of a kingdom. Wang Guangming, the lord of the royal family, reported Cao Tao's situation to the county government, and the county government directly reported to the imperial court, and then the royal academy located in the capital and sponsored by the imperial court directly recruited Cao Tao into the royal academy and became a student of the royal academy. Recently, there have been rumors from the Cao family that Cao Tao is attacking the martial arts realm and will succeed soon. The twelve-year-old martial artist realm, which does not rely on pills, is also extremely rare in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

With the genius of Cao Tao to rely on, the people of the Cao family are even more domineering and invincible, and even the city lord Wang family is not in his eyes.

All kinds of businesses in the mountain city were strongly contested by the people of the Cao family, and the people of the Cao family hurt people openly and secretly. Li Yuan's elder brother Li Ming was already sixteen years old, and when he was fourteen years old, he had opened all the meridians and reached the seventh level of martial apprentices, and he was the object of the Li family's key training. But once, Li Ming hunted a fire wolf in Tianduan Mountain. This fire wolf has part of the blood of a demon beast, and its blood and bone marrow can treat the sequelae of injuries and illnesses, and he plans to take this fire wolf home to nourish his parents. But halfway through, they were intercepted by a few people from the Cao family, who insisted that they killed the fire wolf, and Li Ming stole it for them. Among the people of the Cao family, there was a martial apprentice eighth-level person, and without saying anything, he beat Li Ming half to death, and then robbed his fire wolf and walked away.
