After Fan Yiping returned to his room, he kept thinking about a few things in his mind: "First, my father said that the Qi Mansion is through the Xuan, and the condensation of the star source is between eight and ten years old, and now that he is ten years old, there is no sign of it, does it mean that he can't condense the star source? The third is that today is obviously my birthday, and your uncles usually love themselves in every way, so it is reasonable to dress more formally on such occasions, but why do they all wear military uniforms to attend, and some of them also wear weapons with them, how do you look like they are coming to the banquet?"

Fan Yiping paused, turned around, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the room. I saw Fan Lei sitting precariously, holding a copy of "Liutao" in his hand, Fan Yiping stepped forward and saluted, called his father, Fan Lei bowed slightly, signaled Fan Yiping to take a seat, and then asked: "Do you have anything to do with the study?"

Fan Yiping pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Father, the child has a few questions that he can't understand, so I have come to ask my father to answer them." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The first question, today is the child's birthday, but all the uncles are wearing military armor to attend, this seems to be a bit abnormal? The second question, the mother has already told me about the dispute between the three factions, the child has always felt very strange, the dispute between the three factions is in the Falling Holy Abyss, although it is in the territory of the Holy City, but it is a certain distance from the city, and it has not hurt the people, why are you full of anger and helplessness when you talk about them?"

Fan Lei put down the book in his hand, looked at Fan Yiping, and responded: "Since your mother has told you, there is nothing to hide from you, in fact, it is the beast tide that worries about my father!"

"Beast tide?"

"Yes, there is a forest in the east of our Falling Holy City, called the Blood Rain Forest, there are many fierce beasts in it, they like to eat human flesh and drink human blood, all along, there are Lingyun faction guards, so they don't dare to invade the Falling Holy City, only occasionally hurt the people who are left alone, but every twenty years of the three factions, these strange beasts will attack, because the elite of the Lingyun faction will be sent to the Falling Holy Abyss, leaving only the order, let the garrison of the whole city try their best to defend, and those who violate it will be killed! But that beast is extremely fierce, even some comparable to the realm of the Great Xuanshi, how can ordinary people contend with it, we have a garrison of 30,000 people in the whole city, of which there are only ten people in the realm of the Great Xuanshi, but the beast tide has 300,000, ten times the number, how to defend it, even if it is really defended, how many of them survive in the end? I am angry because they are selfish and abandon the people of the city. Today, you see that all the uncles are wearing heavy armor, just so that they can rush to the battlefield as soon as the beast tide attacks, not only today, until the end of the battle between the three factions, we are on standby every day. Twenty years ago, I had seen the beast tide with my own eyes, at that time I was just a soldier defending the city, we gathered the strength of the whole city, resisted the beast tide, but the whole army was killed and wounded seventy percent, and the people were killed and injured countless times, every time I saw the scratches left by the strange beasts on the city gate, it felt like it all happened yesterday. ”

"My child understood, and it is no wonder that my father always taught me that people should bear great responsibilities as much as they have in this life. Don't worry, the child believes that we will be able to get through this difficulty, and when the child grows up, he will share his father's worries in the future. Fan Yiping said confidently.

Fan Lei smiled, but this smile seemed unnatural, full of bitterness, all of this was seen by Fan Yiping in his eyes, which made him more sure of the thoughts in his heart, he was afraid, afraid that he really couldn't open up the Qi Mansion and condense the star source, he was just an ordinary person in this life, unable to cultivate, unable to help his father solve problems. After struggling in his heart for a long time, in the end, he still mustered up the courage and said: "Father, the child still has something unclear, I hope that the father can tell the truth to the child, I... Am I unable to condense the Star Source?"

Fan Lei's hands trembled, and he looked at Fan Yiping with a surprised face: "Who did you listen to?"

"I didn't hear anyone say it, it was the child's own guess, today in the lobby, my father said that the condensation of the star source was eight to ten years old, but now I am ten years old, but there is no sign of the qi fu xuan, plus just now when the child said that he would help his father solve problems in the future, the father looked helpless, so the child guessed that I may not be able to condense the star source and cultivate!"

Seeing that Fan Yiping analyzed clearly and was organized, Fan Lei let out a long sigh and slowly closed his eyes: "Ping'er, my father is very pleased that you are so smart and subtle at a young age, since you have such a guess, there is nothing to hide, you have been weak since you were a child, and your mother and I named you." Yiping', is to hope that you can live a safe life, so I have always hoped that you will learn more poetry and songs, and I don't want you to be too involved in martial arts, I know that your uncles will teach you some self-defense martial arts in private, and they have taken you out of the city to hunt several times, as long as there is no danger, I have always regarded it as not knowing, but after all, it is dangerous outside, and your mother and I cannot always protect you. Now that you are ten years old, and there is no sign of Qi Fu Xuanxuan, perhaps, you will not be able to cultivate in this life!"

Fan Yiping sat on the chair, did not make a sound for a long time, but his heart was like a thousand knives cutting, his eyes were already moist, but he always endured not to let it cut his eyelids, and went down the river, living in the General's Mansion since he was a child, and he saw too much battlefield killing, bloody rain, and bloody wind, which also made Fan Yiping develop a tenacious and unyielding character since he was a child; At this moment, the atmosphere in the whole room was extremely thick, Fan Lei kept looking at Fan Yiping, there was nothing to say, Fan Yiping was silent, just sat blankly. He is just a ten-year-old child, arrogant since he was a child, and he is surrounded by cultivators, although his realm is not high, but since he was a child, he has been full of expectations for cultivation in his heart, and for a while, how can he accept this fact.

After a long time, Fan Lei suddenly spoke, his eyes puzzled: "Ping'er, if there is a chance that can make your qi through the mysteries and have the possibility of condensing the star source, are you willing to try?"

"Really, father, is what you said true?" Fan Yiping jumped up directly from the chair and ran to Fan Lei, his eyes were full of endless longing, making Fan Lei a little unbearable to look at him.

Fan Lei got up, walked to the bookcase behind him, reached out to the position of the fourth row of the third row of the bookcase, reached out and pressed it lightly behind the book, suddenly there was a muffled sound, the bookcase slowly moved to both sides, revealing the wall, about three feet wide, on the wall, there was a small cabinet door, Fan Lei approached, opened the cabinet door, and took out a small box from inside, the box is a cube, only three inches in length and width, but the whole body is smooth and shiny, and the front is carved with an orchid picture, which is not an ordinary material at first glance; 。

"What is this?" Fan Yiping began.

"This is called the Cleansing Pill, which belongs to the second grade of the pill. ”

"Pills?"

"Yes, on this continent, we condense the source of the star to practice collectively called the source master, but this continent not only has the source master, but also the Dan master and the instrument master, all of which are divided into nine grades, the nine grades are respected, and the first grade is the second; the Dan master can refine the treasure materials of heaven and earth into pills, and take its essence in the process of refining, and remove its dross, so the effect is hundreds of times stronger than that of directly taking medicinal materials, and the medicinal effect produced by different medicinal materials is also not available when taken alone; the instrument master can forge the mineral strange stones between heaven and earth into treasures, and divide them into weapons and imperial weapons, a source master, if there is a competent weapon, the strength will be greatly improved, but these two are rare in the world, The conditions for becoming them are extremely harsh, basically only one of thousands of source masters, so the status of the Dan master and the instrument master on the Xuanhuang Continent is extremely high, and among the garrisons of our Holy City, there are only two first-grade Dan masters and three first-grade weapon masters, even I, I have to respect three points.

As for the pill in the box, it is called the Washing Marrow Pill, which has the miraculous effect of the I Ching Pulp Cleansing, which can make it possible for people who are unable to open up the Qi Mansion in the dantian to have the possibility of condensing the star source, but it requires strong willpower, because this process is very difficult, and the I Ching Washing the Marrow is not something that ordinary people can insist on, once they give up halfway, they will be disabled for life, or they will be killed on the spot; This elixir was obtained by me with great painstaking efforts back then, so you don't have to decide how to use it!" After speaking, he handed the box to Fan Yiping.

"Yes, even if it's dangerous, I'm not afraid, I believe I can hold on. Fan Yiping did not hesitate at all and took the marrow cleansing pill from Fan Lei's hands.

"Ping'er, have you thought it through?"

"The child has thought clearly, no matter how much pain I have to go through, I will definitely succeed in condensing the star source!"

"Since you have made your own decision, the Father will not say anything more. You put away the marrow cleansing pill and use it after the dispute between the three factions has passed, otherwise the beast tide will attack, and I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of you. ”

"The child understands!"

"Okay, you can step back first, I'm tired today, go back to my room and have a good rest!"

Fan Yiping closed the Purifying Pill, turned around and retreated, opened the door, suddenly turned his head, and said, "Father, in fact, you also want me to choose to use this Purifying Pill, right?"

Fan Lei was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, who wants a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, you can condense the star source, at least you can live for a few more decades, although there is a certain risk, but for my father, I believe that you will definitely be able to." ”

"Eun, the child will not let you down!" he said, and walked outside.

After Fan Yiping left, Fan Lei suddenly said to himself: "Is this really right?" After a sigh, he picked up "Liutao" on the table, but he couldn't read it anymore.

After returning to the room, Fan Yiping hid the marrow cleansing pill and prepared to take it immediately after the battle between the three factions was over. Lying in bed, he fell asleep after a while, today is really too tiring for him...
