A wooden stake was erected in the remote courtyard in the corner of the Liu family.

Every morning, a young man stood in the courtyard, his moves were old-fashioned, slow but powerful, and he struck the wooden stake again and again.

The martial arts of the world are based on the spirit.

A person with spiritual power is called a martial artist, and a martial artist tempers his body by absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

Entry, Ascendancy, Completion.

Ordinary people must first absorb spiritual power, and when the accumulation is successful, they can enter the realm of the door, and reach this realm, before they can be called a real martial artist, the entry is divided into three phases, the general entry is the limit of many talented ordinary people, if you can get lucky to enter the hall of cultivation, you can have a place anywhere in Baishan City, many families and forces are very willing to worship a martial artist.

And if they can reach Dacheng cultivation, it can be regarded as getting ahead, Liu Qingshan, Liu Chunchen and others are all Dacheng martial artists, and the head of their lives is to go to the next master.

The lower division has stepped into the ranks of the strong, it does not belong to the early stage, as long as any force can have a lower division, it can be among the first-class forces in Baishan City, and the Liu family is unshakable precisely because of the three lower divisions.

The young man in the courtyard is naturally He Qing.

The meridians of the whole body are broken, and He Qing naturally can't cultivate, but people in the world only know that martial arts are based on spirits, but they don't know that there is a sentence behind it.

Respect the body.

A long, long time ago, in addition to spiritual cultivation, there was also a rare kind of cultivators in martial arts cultivation, they were called physical cultivation, these people were mainly physical, tempering the body, fists could shatter the sky, feet could split the ground, and spiritual cultivation of the same level could basically be crushed, but it was rare to see physical cultivators in this world.

The ancient lineage has been severed, no one can break the curse, and the body cultivator can only cultivate to the end of the world at most, and cannot step into the lower master.

If a spiritual cultivator wants to step into the lower master, he needs to condense the spiritual power in his body, condense it into a spiritual core, contain the spiritual power, and become a small world of his own.

Therefore, since ancient times, few people have cultivated this dead-end path again, and there are fewer and fewer cultivators, until now no one remembers that there is such a cultivation method.

"Peng ......"

The young man who kept swinging his fist finally hit the wooden man with a hard elbow, and fine cracks appeared at the landing point.

The young man took a step back, and his arms were already red and bruised.

"It's been a week. ”

The young man was still unaware of the sharp pain coming from his body, he just frowned and looked at the crack of the wooden stake in front of him, and said to himself: "It takes a week to crack a wooden stake, and this physical cultivation is really difficult enough." ”

The physical practitioner is very clear about the dividing line of power.

1,000 jin force is the entry, 2,000 jin force is Dengtang, and 5,000 jin force is the main achievement.

Imagine, when the physical cultivation reaches the end of the year, every punch and blow is a pouring of 5,000 catties of force, how terrible it would be?

It's a pity that the inheritance is cut off, and no one knows how the physical cultivator can break through the difficulty of the master, and of course He Qing doesn't know either, but in this small Baishan City, if he has a great physique, it is enough to be vertical and horizontal.

Qi Wang now estimates that he should be able to have about four hundred catties of strength, which should be similar to that of a martial artist with four spiritual powers.

It is not satisfying to be able to reach this level in a week, if this kind of mentality makes the early years of physical cultivation hear that a mouthful of old blood has to spurt out, the cultivation of physical cultivation is the most difficult, and the tempering of the physical body is smashed out with all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, coupled with the painful cultivation of extraordinary people, only then can there be the invincible title of physical cultivation at the same level.

He Qing is purely because he had a good foundation before, and if he can have this under the accumulation, the next process will be very slow, and He Qing is of course aware of this.

Spirituality is the covering of spiritual power in the limbs and triggers infinite power, while physical practice is the explosion of the body, which is completely different.

"It's a bit of a hassle. ”

He Qing sat on the ground, thought about it a little, thought about it again, and finally covered his left wrist with his fingers, and with a touch of his fingers, a black and simple bracelet suddenly appeared on the empty wrist.

If the news of this ordinary-looking bracelet spreads, it will definitely cause the madness of this Baishan City and even Qingyan County.

This thing is called a boundary object.

When no one can make it today, this is left by ancient cultivators, and it is a space that can store objects, like He Qing's one, the space inside is as big as a room, and this thing is also famous in the Evil Continent, because its owner has always been the ruthless, crazy and bloody alchemy master Yu Changsheng.

In today's era when great grandmasters are not out, an alchemy master is the ultimate in this vein, and Yu Changsheng is above alchemy, which can be called the best of Zhou Xia.

As for the realm objects, the refining requirements are said to require the great masters among the ancient monks to have a chance of successful refining, so the realm objects in the world are basically already owned things, except for those that have not been discovered.

He Qing's mind sank into the realm, which was hidden by Yu Changsheng's life, and the value was rich enough to make anyone crazy.

"Physical Cultivation, Physical Cultivation......"

He Qing searched for knowledge about this.

After a while, He Qing, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes, flipped his wrist, and a withered yellow cowhide scroll with only half a sheet appeared in his hand, He Qing frowned and looked at the crooked and distorted strange words on it, this is the ancient lingua franca, he also knows a few, if it wasn't for the translation of the word "check body repair" before, maybe he would have missed this cowhide scroll, He Qing sighed, and took out a thick classic again, this classic was bought by Yu Changsheng at a great price, and the above is the translation of the ancient lingua franca, He Qing patiently translated the words on this cowhide scroll one by one。

Half an hour later, the dizzy He Qing finally reluctantly translated the text of this cowhide scroll.

"Vitality. ”

He Qing groaned.

The grade of this thing is not high, ordinary alchemy apprentices can refine it, mainly for physical recovery, and the sentence related to physical cultivation in it is nothing more than a sentence mentioned in the introduction, saying that this thing is quite popular with beginner physical cultivation.

"This stuff is good, you can do something. ”

He Qing nodded slightly, it can be regarded as a bit of gain, if he can recover his physical body, it is also good, he can endure the hardships in physical cultivation, but this body is a problem, it has only been a week, and there are countless injuries on his body, if it is an ordinary person, he would have stopped cultivating in pain.

He Qing, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly flashed his eyes, everything in his hand disappeared in an instant, and the black bracelet also disappeared, he looked at the end of the path, and Liu Fan, whose face was indifferent, gradually came.

He Qing got up.

Liu Pan said indifferently: "The family order, He Qing, a member of the side clan, immediately went to the family hall. ”

He Qing walked into the house, put on a black robe, and then followed behind Liu Fan, along the path, through the corridor of the east wing, to the main road in the center, all the way to the deepest family hall, as he walked further and further, the more people nearby heard the sound and moved, the sound of pointing and pointing was endless, He Qing ignored it, and his face did not change.

A moment later, the spacious family hall appeared in front of He Qing.

There are already a lot of people in the hall, and the people around the outside are even more invisible, the Liu family has been rooted in Baishan City for more than 300 years, and has gradually developed so far, there are 6,000 people in the family tree alone, not to mention countless collateral clansmen, in Baishan City, the Liu family is a veritable family.

Liu Pan stepped aside, He Qing looked calm, and stepped forward.

He glanced around, six deputy seats, four chairmen, a total of ten chairs, a total of five people seated.

"Liu Chunchen, Liu Qingshan, Willow ......"

There are three people He Qing knew, his eyes paused on the slightly chubby old man, the latter lowered his head and picked his fingernails, as if he didn't notice He Qing's gaze, the third elder Liu Wu was a middle-aged woman, her hands folded in front of her, her eyes closed to recuperate, the traces carved by the years on her face were not deep, and the grace of her youth could still be seen.

In addition to these three people, there was another person in the deputy seat, with an old-fashioned face, a relatively young man, whom He Qing did not know.

As for the four chairmen, there is only one today.

The Great Elder of the Liu Family, one of the three lower masters, Liu Chenlong.

Liu Chenlong, who was close to old age, looked similar to Liu Chunchen, just a middle-aged appearance, he slowly got up, pressed down with his empty hands, and the noisy hall gradually quieted down inside and outside, and looked at Liu Chenlong on the chairman with a pair of awe-struck eyes, who looked at the only young man standing straight in the hall.

"He Qing, a member of the Liu family. ”

Liu Chenlong said in a deep voice.

He Qing bowed his head slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Yes." ”

"You have a Quzhi Academy assessment quota ring on your hand, and I called you here this time mainly for the ownership of this ring. ”

Liu Chenlong said slowly: "I already know from Chunchen that you don't want to hand over the ring, do you?"

"Yes. ”

He Qing's voice echoed in the room.

The slightly chubby old man with his head hanging his head showed sarcasm, and the onlookers outside also whispered.

"Don't pay?"

"Why didn't he pay it, why did he keep it, eat it?"

"Tsk, young man, in the end, the heart is higher than the sky. ”

He Qing did not change color under the gaze of a pair of eyes.

Liu Chenlong nodded slightly, and said: "I understand what the old man means, you won this thing yourself, and the clan will naturally not rob it, but the matter is important, the old man still has to remind you, you can use this quota in exchange for you and Liu Qing's inner family identity, as well as the glory and wealth of this life, the clan will support you until you die of old age, and no one can be bullied." ”

Liu Wu, who sat on the position of the elder, said lightly: "He Qing, you have thought clearly, a ring that is useless to you, in exchange for the blessings of your future life, you should be able to calculate this account." ”

He Qing nodded seriously and said, "Think clearly, I, don't pay." ”

Liu Wu glanced at He Qing, closed his eyes and ignored it.

Liu Qingshan sneered, and like Liu Wu, he began to close his eyes, and Liu Chunchen sighed lightly.

Liu Chenlong stared at He Qing for a long time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, and after a while, Liu Chenlong said calmly: "The choice is up to you, the family will not force the clansmen for an assessment quota, but the old man has a premise, and you can hear it clearly." ”

Liu Chenlong said lightly: "You are a member of the Liu family, sharing honor and disgrace, if you go to the Academy of Qu, but you can't even pass the entrance assessment, and humiliate the reputation of my Liu family, the old man will expel you from the Liu family according to the clan rules, do you have any objections?"

"Shall I wait?"

He Qing suddenly frowned.

Liu Chenlong repeated: "Yes, you wait. ”

The corners of He Qing's mouth twitched, it turned out that it was not enough to chase him alone, and he had to pull Liu Qing up.

Sitting on the side, Liu Chunchen finally spoke: "Great Elder." ”

Liu Chunchen got up and said: "The quota belongs to He Qing, and it is understandable if he doesn't pay it, besides, four years ago, our Liu family didn't protect him, and the Liu family is ashamed of this matter." ”

Liu Chenlong thought about it and didn't say anything.

Liu Fu, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes and said coldly: "Shameful? Why does the Liu family need to be ashamed of a little side clansman? He broke away from the team in a black sandstorm, who is to blame?"

Liu Chunchen sneered and responded: "Oh, the two Dacheng martial artists escorted the team, and they couldn't even pass a black sandstorm?

The clansmen outside the hall all looked strange and wonderful, Liu Chunchen's words were probably going to cause a little trouble, he was worthy of being a careless side clansman, no one was afraid, he didn't worry about the consequences, sure enough, Liu Qingshan, who had been calm, had a gloomy face, and his fingers kept rubbing: "Liu Chunchen, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”

Liu Chunchen said casually: "What, Elder Qingshan has any objections to what I said?"

Liu Qingshan's face was gloomy, and he just wanted to speak, when Liu Chenlong, who was sitting on the chairman, spoke: "Okay, the old man doesn't want to listen to your-for-tat confrontation in this hall, Chunchen, tell me, what are you going to do?"

Four years ago, the clan had already made a conclusion about what was right and wrong, and the truth should be buried in their hearts, and it didn't make much sense to pick it out again, if it was only because of one place, provoked the grievances of the two elders in the clan, the matter would outweigh the losses.

Liu Chunchen glanced at the indifferent young man who had been indifferent from beginning to end, sighed slightly in his heart, and then arched his hand towards Liu Chenlong and said: "Great Elder, how do you look at this, three months later it will be a big competition in the clan, if He Qing can be among the top three, let him go to the assessment with the quota, no matter whether it is success or failure, but if he can't be in the top three, He Qing will hand over the ring, and I will be compensated for the follow-up arrangement, how about it?"

Liu Chenlong thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay, everything depends on you." ”

"Disperse!"

Liu Chenlong got up, he walked to the door, paused when he showed He Qing's side, and said lightly: "Young man, how much ability to do as much as you want." ”

Liu Wu and Liu Qingshan passed by He Qing's side without looking at it.

The clansmen outside also dispersed one after another, discussing with each other, and everything that happened in the hall was destined to spread quickly.

Liu Chunchen patted He Qing on the shoulder and said, "This is the best result, you can think about it in the past three months, come to me at any time when you figure it out, and exchange a ring for half a life of wealth, it's okay." ”

The crowd all dispersed, and He Qing stood alone under the plaque, staring at the four chairmen in front of him, once upon a time, he, like all the clansmen, had the idea of being able to sit on it one day.

"Huh. ”

He Qing let out a laugh from his throat.

He originally intended to come back and spend two years in peace, but he never wanted to get farther and farther away from his original thoughts.

Anyway, when did the world go as it should?

He Qing tightened the black robe around his neck, turned around and stride.

In the depths of his eyes, something was burning.

It is the color of Nirvana, hotter than fire.
