When Shi Yi came to the cemetery park behind Dongling Mountain, the other four of the top five people on the Shi family's hidden dragon list had already arrived.

Although they seemed to be calm when they pressed their minds one by one, they asked for ten points to assemble, and they came so early one by one, which in itself explained a lot of problems.

Shi Qingqing, this time the Shi family ranked first on the Qianlong list, his father Shi Qingshan is a wealthy businessman, and the most important thing is that Shi Qingshan does not rely on family property, and most of the industries he operates are private, so his autonomy is very high. As the daughter raised by a billionaire, Shi Qingqing has bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like snow, and has a sense of pride and nobility.

Shi Yi, this time the Shi family's hidden dragon list ranked second, orphaned and grew up with his sister Shi Qing, two years ago was sent by the family to undertake the task of hunting demons, assisting the federal government to suppress the situation, in the past two years of experience gradually polished brilliance, marksmanship courage, and gradually outstanding.

Shi Kang, this time the Shi family Qianlong list ranked third, the Shi family descendant, trained in the family since childhood, outstanding achievements in all aspects, two years ago was sent by the family to undertake the task of demon hunting, to assist the government to suppress the situation, in the past two years of experience has become more and more mature and steady, shrewd and capable.

Shi Mingxuan, the fourth person on the Shi family's hidden dragon list this time, a descendant of the elders of the clan, has been trained by the family since childhood, and has outstanding achievements in all aspects.

Shi Qingyue, this time the eighth person on the Shi family's hidden dragon list, is not of Shi family blood, purely an adopted orphan, because of his intelligence and talent, he was trained with the children of the Shi family, his personal talent is extremely high, and his personal performance is excellent, compared to the other four, Shi Qingyue is the person who was specially assigned by the great elder Shi Hao, this big opportunity, there are only five special training places, and she occupies one, which shows how much Shi Qingyue is valued.

The five young men did not wait long, and at ten o'clock in the evening, a terrible howl was heard in the distance, followed by a huge wolf as large as a bear, running down the hillside on one side.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yi immediately took out the Vulcan spear, and the other four people also responded to their own actions, some took two steps forward, some took two steps back, and Shi Qingqing's left hand burst into flames, not only for lighting, but also for the surrounding temperatures to rise all at once.

Shi Kang, who stepped forward and took a step, faintly had pale red scales floating out of his body, and a silver dagger appeared in Shi Mingxuan's hand, Shi Qingyue did not change much, but she was in the same column as Shi Qingqing, and between the five people, three men took two steps forward, and two women took two steps back, forming a faint encirclement formation.

However, the giant wolf that ran down from the hillside changed violently before he could get closer, he quickly deformed, his body was elongated, and when he landed, he had already turned into a tall and wild strong man, with silver and white messy hair, and a scar on his cheeks and eyes.

"Don't show off your little ability in front of me, I have been practicing longer than your parents, and I have probably killed more people than you have ever seen." A strong and tall old man, with a wild beast-like momentum, just one look at him made everyone on the scene, including Shi Yi, feel suppressed.

At this moment, Shi Yi suddenly understood why Shi Xiao barely spoke much in the ancestral hall, the murderous aura on his body was too heavy, too murderous, and belonged to the type that could scare a child into crying at a glance, a man like this beast was indeed not suitable for talking too much on the occasion of sacrificing ancestors.

"It's been two years, the five of you have been training outside, and you've experienced a lot of things, so I don't need to say it, you should also be aware that the strength of the magic power in this world has increased again...... A new era of transcendence is coming. ”

"Our Shi family has always been a member of the transcendent world, a family that inherits the power of ancient mysteries, so we naturally have a head start in this new era, but we also have to face many dangers because of this! For example, four hundred years ago, the Shi family signed a contract with the Church of the Eternal Night to become a member of the camp of the Goddess of Darkness, which was nothing in normal times, but now, the Goddess of Darkness is awakening...... The enemies of the goddess are also awakening. ”

At this point, the evil man Shi Xiao, who was pacing back and forth in front of the four of them, paused, then shook his head and sorted out his thoughts before continuing: "My Shi family has always held mysterious powers, but you, as a descendant of the Shi family, have never learned the abilities related to it, Shi Kang, do you know why?" ”

"Uh......" Shi Kang didn't seem to expect to be asked suddenly, but he had already done a lot of homework before coming, and quickly replied, "Because our cultivation is not enough, our body and spirit are not enough to carry the power of mystery. ”

"That's right. But, you see, Shi Qingqing beside you has a mysterious power, why is that? ”

With Shi Xiao's words, Shi Qingqing was watched by other people, but the girl shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "This is the 'wizard apprentice' profession that my father hired a wizard with a lot of money to transform for me, my father originally wanted to ask the Great Elder to help, but the Great Elder made it clear that he could invite outsiders, and my ability was not inherited from the family." ”

"Times have changed, and so have the methods of spiritual evolution. When the two reach a certain height, they can learn the mysterious power corresponding to their own talents, and get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, our Shi family never allowed young disciples to grasp the power of mystery too early. Learning occult knowledge and using guns and knives is enough to deal with most situations as a witcher, and after training to a certain extent, and then cultivating mystical powers, at that time your understanding of yourself will be clearer, and the road ahead will be smoother. ”

"My generation has suffered a lot because of mastering the power of the mystery too early, so the eldest brother has set such a family rule."

"But now, the times are different, with the continuous improvement of the concentration of magic in this world, there are more and more career promotion systems: first-order gun fighters, second-order lone gunners, third-order gun experts, this is the career promotion system announced by the government, as long as the basic quality requirements are met, and then through the corresponding mysterious ritual transformation, the transferee can quickly improve his ability and skills, this evolution method is called a new cultivation method by us old guys, although it is not as stable as the ancient cultivation method, But in terms of efficiency, it is really much more than the ancient cultivation method. ”

In Shi Xiao's eloquent story, the five people present, especially Shi Yi, who didn't understand anything half-understood, gradually came to their senses.

The so-called ancient cultivation method is to exercise one's physical fitness and mental strength with various methods, and then accumulate it over time, and then master the mysterious power after reaching the basic requirements of cultivating the mysterious power, which is naturally safe and solid.

However, the new revision method, in line with the tide of the times with surging magic, only requires the incumbent to meet the requirements of basic qualities, and can directly improve the attributes and even all aspects of the incumbent through the corresponding mysterious rituals.

Of course, the "passing" ceremony is dangerous, and I know with my knees that the higher the level, the more dangerous it is, but in terms of efficiency, I am afraid that it exceeds the ancient cultivation method I don't know how many times, and this two cultivation methods are not exclusive, and the incumbent can also improve himself through the ancient cultivation method, so that the overly pure ancient cultivation method will almost inevitably be abandoned by the professionals who pursue their own evolution.

The last transcendent era is too far away, although the magic of this world has not been broken, but the history of civilization in the previous generation has been cut off, so no one knows how the transcendents of the previous era practiced, perhaps, the ancient cultivation method is just an adaptive cultivation method that the transcendents have passively evolved in response to the low magic environment in the millennium of evolution.

"As a secret family with a long heritage, at the beginning of the demon tide, the eldest brother has already noticed it and made action, at present, there are no less than five career promotion paths in the family that can be promoted to the third order, and there are more than ten other miscellaneous and incomplete career promotion paths, but the eldest brother has never let the disciples in the clan choose to be promoted, even if it will make everyone slow down, do you know why? Mingxuan, you say. ”

"Because of one wrong step, one wrong step, it is still the beginning of a new era, and many of the career systems that have emerged are only one or two orders, and some classes seem powerful now, but at the expense of future potential. At present, no one can fully see the future, and the Great Elder should want to find one or several career paths that are strong enough, suitable, and have enough potential for everyone to choose. Shi Mingxuan was a little embarrassed, because he, like Shi Qingqing, had already used his family power to allow himself to obtain the career route and complete the first-order transfer first.

If you successfully pass the transformation ceremony, when the incumbent is promoted to the first rank, you will receive a baptism, and the incumbent will receive the attribute improvement and ability bonus corresponding to their class, and the further they are promoted, the greater the increase.

The people of the Shi family have dragon blood and have been trained since childhood, and it is almost not difficult to pass the first-order transformation ceremony, and it is bound to succeed, which can be said to be a method that makes one's strength improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

However, regarding Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan's actions, Shi Xiao only clicked and didn't say anything.

……

"Half a year later, you have to participate in a very dangerous mission, after that mission, the Shi family will get a career promotion route that is absolutely suitable for you, therefore, in this half a year, you must do your best to improve yourself, otherwise, it will be a pity to die in that mission."

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere." As he spoke, Elder Shi Xiao pounced, and once again turned into a giant gray wolf like a bear, running up the hillside on the side.

Hearing Elder Shi Xiao's words, Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan's faces changed, and the two glanced at each other, faintly remorseful.

Perfect fit for your career advancement path?

Normally, this is almost impossible to do, but if it can be done, then it is really beneficial for the future development of a professional.

A person with forty legal talents and sixty martial arts talents, if he chooses a legal profession, then his lifetime achievements may only be one or two orders, and if he chooses a martial arts profession, then with the same efforts and opportunities, his future achievements may be two or three orders or even higher.

Many times, when you work hard to a certain extent, you have to fight for talent, and talent is difficult to judge at the beginning of a person's life.

No matter what Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan's thoughts were, the five young people followed closely after the stone owl who turned into a giant wolf and ran, which was not easy, but the five of them gritted their teeth.

Suddenly, Shi Mingxuan waved his hand, and after a faint glow, everyone, including Shi Yi, felt a little lighter, followed by Shi Qingqing's technique, and the wind around him seemed to turn into his own help, making him lighter and running faster.

(The abilities of the Wizard Apprentice and the Crusader?) Two very powerful professions. Shi Yi himself is not a professional, but he has seen many professionals, and naturally vaguely knows that whether it is a wizard profession or a crusader profession, it is more orthodox and powerful than the beast tamer profession and the natural shaman profession, of course, the other aspect also depends on the cultivation level of the two of them themselves, if they can't do it, no matter how strong the profession is, it is meaningless.

Following the giant wolf, the five of them ran all the way to a small valley, the stone owl turned back into a human body again, and then reached out and pressed a hidden mechanism, when the stone door slowly opened, he was the first to walk in, and the other five people followed in, only to find that there was a hole in it.

"This is an underground prison where twenty martial arts masters, two meditation masters, two alchemists, one apothecary, one thief, and one sharpshooter are imprisoned...... There are forty-eight of them, and in the next six months, the five of you can ask any of them for advice, and most of them have promised to teach you, and those who ignore you, do not dwell too much, and if you feel that they are hurting you, and that there is something wrong with what you are teaching, come to me quickly. ”

"Be careful, these guys have all committed crimes outside, and some of them can be called extremely vicious, even if they are imprisoned here, they are not allowed to make any small moves, and the five of you can't learn anything, but you left your life behind."

Looking at the huge underground prison in front of him, looking at the family guards who were lined up with guards, at this moment, Shi Yi really felt that one of the nine cities in the East, the strength of the Shi family, entrenched in one side, like a dragon, gave what he wanted.

From this day on, Shi Yi and the other five began a half-year hard practice in this secret place of the family. The Shi family itself, of course, also has the mysterious power and secret skills inherited by the family, but Shi Xiao also made it clear that the fundamental inheritance of the Shi family is not conducive to improving combat power in a short period of time, because it is a kind of cultivation method that is close to the law and non-magic.
