Chapter 3: Forced to Cultivate
"Young Master, where are your clothes?"
An old servant of about seventy saw Qin Zhan coming back without a coat, and couldn't help but wonder.
"That, my clothes were stolen by others, Aunt Hong, is dinner ready, I'm starving to death"
Qin Zhan sat down at the dining table with a big grin and asked in a milky voice.
"Okay, okay, good morning, and today has your favorite big lobster"
Aunt Hong doted on the other servants and brought up the dishes one by one.
"Wow, why is it so rich, what a good day is today, or are we rich?"
Qin Zhan stuffed delicious food into his mouth as he spoke, and he couldn't even speak clearly. Qin Zhan was indeed hungry, after all, he had been jumping up and down with the dog for a day, and the little thing in his stomach had already been digested by him.
"Young Master Qin, I heard that you are bullying people outside again, are you, you are the master of our Hou Mansion, you can't always fool around outside."
Hearing the words coming from behind him, Qin Zhan was startled, he didn't swallow a mouthful of meat in his mouth, it happened to be stuck in his throat, Qin Zhan hurriedly beat his chest with his little hand. Seeing this, Aunt Hong knew that Qin Zhan had swallowed it, so she hurriedly picked up a bowl of soup and fed it to Qin Zhan.
Finally relieved, Qin Zhan reluctantly turned around, lowered his head and said, "How can there be, Grandpa Mo, don't listen to Ah Da Ah Er and them chewing their tongues." ”
Mo Tian is the old housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, it is said that Qin Zhan was brought up by him when he was a child, and he has been following Qin Zhan's father Qin Lang for many years, and he is a highly respected person in the Qin Mansion. Although Steward Mo is not a member of the Qin family, the people of the Qin Mansion have special respect for him.
Looking at Qin Zhan's innocent look, the old housekeeper shook his head helplessly, and said to the group of servants: "Let's sit down and eat together today, today is the sixth birthday of the little young master, let's spend the birthday with the little young master together." ”
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, several young people in the house hurriedly sat down and devoured them. The other dozen or so old servants were still standing at the table, congratulating the young master on his birthday, and then looked at each other.
Seeing Ah Da and the others grabbing food, Qin Zhan also hurriedly jumped on the seat, and while directly tearing the meat and eating it, he said to Ah Da and them dissatisfiedly: "Today is my birthday, you don't know how to restrain yourself."
Seeing the appearance of several of their young men, the old butler sighed helplessly, and waved his hand at the other old servants to signal them to sit down. Seeing this, the other old servants no longer shirked, and sat down with some restraint.
"Little Master, you will be six years old from today, and you will be able to choose your own path in the future. In one month, it will be the annual enrollment of the Martial Arts Academy. Although the children of the third-grade family and above have the right to enter the academy directly, they will also be divided into different levels according to each person's own talent. Moreover, the Martial Spirit Academy is not under the control of the empire, and it does not reject the children of ordinary people, as long as it can form a dantian in the body and reach the first level of body refining, it will be selected, I don't know if you can understand it, young master."
The old butler looked at Qin Zhan, who was only interested in eating meat, and asked patiently.
"I know, but I'm already a first-class marquis, and it doesn't really matter if I go to Lingwu Academy or not. Those people in the Martial Spirit Academy are not for the sake of gaining military merits, and then obtaining a half-official position and glorifying their ancestors. ”
Qin Zhan replied indifferently while eating meat.
Hearing Qin Zhan's indifferent attitude, the old butler frowned and said, "Young Master, this world is a world where strength is respected, in the future, the more roads you take, the more you will see, the more you want, and you will have desires." The road between gains and losses is very long and lonely, and all your unsatisfactory in the future is caused by today's lack of effort. Not to mention anything else, His Majesty's Ninth Princess Huangpu Yu has also reached the age of entering the academy this year. At a young age, it is said that she has reached the sixth level of body refining, and she can already feel the spiritual power, and she is still the only one in a hundred million black flame phoenix body. He has been designated as a disciple by the dean early on, and his future is limitless."
The old butler said with an envious look on his face, as if it were his own daughter.
Today's Ninth Princess is the youngest child of His Majesty, she has shown amazing cultivation talent and perseverance since she was a child, and she began to contact cultivation at the age of two, and in just four years, she has reached the sixth level of body refining, which can only be achieved by many middle-aged people. Although it is inseparable from her rich background in the royal family and family, if it were not for extraordinary perseverance and talent, it would not have been possible to achieve such achievements at such a young age.
"Huangpu Yu, if I can win her favor in the academy, maybe I can be a colt in the future, so who will dare to bully me in the future."
Qin Zhan couldn't help but fantasize in his heart about the future of soaring in the future, and the scene that no one dared to provoke in the imperial capital. Thinking of the excitement, Qin Zhan said: "Okay, I'll go too, for Huangpu Yu." No, for the future of the Qin family".
The servants looked at Qin Zhan in surprise, their faces full of suspicion, and only Aunt Hong and a few old servants thanked God while wiping their tears.
In everyone's hearts, this was the first time Qin Zhan had made a decision so seriously.
The old butler also looked at Qin Zhan with a surprised expression. Although he also doubted Qin Zhan's determination this time, it was rare for Qin Zhan to be so motivated, so he couldn't help but stroke his silver-white beard and said: "Okay, it is worthy of being the heir of the Qin family, from tomorrow onwards, everyone will help the young master to cultivate together, and strive to let him break through the first level of body refining within a month."
Qin Zhan hadn't swallowed a mouthful of rice yet, and when he heard the old housekeeper's words, Qin Zhan directly squirted out the rice, blinking incredulously and asking the old housekeeper.
"Grandpa Mo, isn't it, I still have to cultivate, I'm Master Hou, can't I directly enter the Martial Academy, why do I still need to cultivate."
"The beginning of cultivation is to refine the body, and refining the body is to strengthen the body and cut the body, and at the same time to sense the dantian. Then slowly begin to absorb the aura to nourish the dantian and lay the foundation for future breakthroughs," said Steward Mo.
"Young Master, you have been playful since you were a child, you have nothing to do all day long, you don't like to cultivate, and you can't endure that hardship. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the Qin family has always been a family of cultivators. Although people have not been prosperous, they are all strong in the world. Now although you are a first-class marquis, it is all the kindness of your ancestors, and there is no trace of achievement that you have gained. If this continues, the Qin family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later, so we can only force you once.
"Ah", Qin Zhan looked incredulous, and couldn't help but begin to regret his decision: hugging the princess's thigh.
The next day, before dawn, Qin Zhan was still dreaming in his bed: in the dream, Qin Zhan was roasting a fire-patterned antelope in front of a bonfire, and the fat mutton was roasted golden brown by the mullon fire, and it seemed that it was ready to eat immediately.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew up, which directly extinguished the flames, and the mutton was instantly covered with ice ballast.
