In the small courtyard where twilight had come, Ji Hao had just taken over his mother's work and was busy putting away the dried goods to dry.

"Sister, my brother is ashamed all these years. ”

"It's okay, the male Xiuwu should have gone out to fight, and he was still in the Ji clan in the realm of life and destruction, so you are not my younger brother who is not afraid of heaven and earth. ”

On the stone bench in the small courtyard, Ji Changkong, who had only returned to the clan last night, was talking softly with Ji Yuqian, hearing his sister's familiar tone, Ji Changkong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the unspeakable guilt in his heart rose a little again.

"Huh, by the way, sister, hasn't my brother-in-law come back yet, the ban on you-"

Exhaling lightly, Ji Changkong put down the bamboo cup he had just picked up in his hand and looked at Ji Yuqian with a depressed expression.

However, before Ji Changkong's voice fell, Ji Yuqian forcibly interrupted what he was about to say.

"Junchen has not returned since he went out that year. As for me, I've been sick for so many years, and I'm used to it. ”

Stretching out his hand and quietly pointing at Ji Hao, who was facing away from him, Ji Yu glared at his younger brother who he hadn't seen for several years in front of him, signaling him not to talk about the past easily.

In the small courtyard, Ji Hao, who had been packing up his things, naturally kept paying attention to the conversation between his mother and uncle, and when he heard them mention the word Junchen, the young man couldn't help frowning slightly.

Ji Junchen is Ji Hao's father, but in Ji Hao's mind, there is only a vague back left about his father's impression.

"I won't mention it for the time being, since you have been out of the mountain for so many years, you have improved your strength and knowledge a lot, Changkong, take a look at Hao'er, what is wrong with his body, why he has not been able to enter the reclamation realm for a long time. ”

Seeing that Ji Hao stopped his movements, Ji Yuqian couldn't help frowning slightly, and glanced at Ji Changkong complainingly.

Ji Changkong saw his sister's eyes, but he pouted helplessly. Turning his head to greet Ji Hao twice, Ji Hao walked to Ji Changkong's side in response.

"Hey, it's strange, Hao'er's blood qi is even better than back then, and even more vigorous than some first-grade demon beasts, but why can't there be any heaven and earth aura in his body. ”

On the stone bench, Ji Changkong closed Ji Hao's arm for a moment, but suddenly let out a shock.

When he returned to the village last night, Ji Changkong also deduced the reason for the stagnation of Ji Hao's martial arts through the news he heard, in his opinion, Ji Hao's delay in entering the reclamation realm should be due to the damage to his blood and qi caused by secret injuries in his body, so he could not introduce the aura of heaven and earth.

But the investigation just now undoubtedly overturned Ji Changkong's speculation, because at this time, in his opinion, Ji Hao's mountain-moving realm forging body had been very perfect, even if it did not reach the perfect mountain-moving realm described in the ancient books, it also exceeded the physical cultivation of most of the young disciples in the clan.

On the path of martial arts, the first four realms are the foundation, and the physical cultivation is the mainstay.

Moving mountains to polish the body, temper the blood, and improve the strength of the warriors, this is the origin of moving mountains with strength.

After moving the mountain realm, there is the reclamation realm, which is also for the physical cultivation, but unlike the polishing of the moving mountain realm, the physical cultivation of the reclamation realm requires the martial artist to quote the aura of heaven and earth into the body, and fill the body with the aura, and the aura into the body is like the sea, which is the reclamation realm.

"Ji Hao, you try to attract the aura of heaven and earth, and your uncle will help you watch it. ”

Ji Changkong pondered for a moment, then looked at Ji Hao with a solemn expression, and began to slowly mobilize his cultivation.

When Ji Hao heard this, he exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, and saw Ji Changkong giving him a reassuring look, Ji Hao slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to feel the aura between heaven and earth in a meditative posture.

Heaven and earth have spirits, plants and trees have spirits, and in the world of warriors, everything in the world has spirits. And this spirit relies on a substance that pervades the whole world, and the ancient sages called this substance Reiki.

In the final analysis, the cultivation of martial artists is to fight, steal, to create in the world, and to steal the aura of heaven and earth, so introducing the aura of heaven and earth into the body is the most important step in officially entering the cultivation of martial arts.

As Ji Hao's tuna gradually stabilized, Ji Changkong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, it seems that his nephew has never lacked the heart of martial arts over the years, even if he has never stepped into the reclamation realm, but this basic action to attract aura is extremely proficient.

Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Ji Changkong began to close his eyes and carefully feel the changes in the aura of heaven and earth beside Ji Hao, but as Ji Hao sat cross-legged for a long time, Ji Changkong's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Ji Hao, you can stop. ”

Ji Changkong opened his eyes and did not directly say his opinion, but began to continue to ponder.

Over the years, Ji Changkong has naturally seen many bizarre things, but in a situation like Ji Hao, Ji Changkong has never heard of it, let alone seen it.

"Did you show the old man? What did he say?"

Looking up at Ji Hao, Ji Changkong turned to Ji Yuqian and asked.

The patriarch said that he had checked the ancient books in the clan, and he couldn't figure out Hao'er's situation. ”

"Uncle, it's okay, if you can't be promoted, you can't be promoted, it's been so many years, and the patriarch grandfather also said that there are still ancestors who were sanctified in the flesh in ancient books. ”

Seeing that Ji Changkong heard his mother's words and began to ponder again, the little light that had just flashed in Ji Hao's eyes couldn't help but dim slowly, the young man turned his head and continued to pack his things, but there was inevitably a little loss and exhaustion in the tone of his voice.

"Huh, Hao'er's situation is indeed strange, it is easy to carry the aura of heaven and earth with his physique, but for some reason, the aura of heaven and earth attracted by Hao'er only hovers around his body, just like Hao'er's body refuses to enter these aura of heaven and earth. ”

Ji Changkong sighed slightly, Ji Hao's genius name was polished by himself a little bit, seeing his nephew like this, Ji Changkong's heart naturally did not feel good, and on the other side of the stone bench, Ji Yuqian's eyes were already a little red.

"No, Hao'er's body still has a chance!"

Holding his left hand against his forehead and thinking for a moment, Ji Changkong suddenly jumped up from the stone bench and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Ji Hao and Ji Yuqian were both slightly stunned.

"I've been out for too long, and I've been thinking about the Five Domains, but I've forgotten the Ji family. ”

"Hao'er, if you want to regain the path of cultivation, there is still one last way for you to go, and that is the Ji family's once-in-a-century festival. ”

Ji Changkong slammed the ancient tree beside him, and a deep fist mark suddenly appeared on the trunk, and the leaves scattered, but Ji Changkong's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"The Great Sacrifice?"

Ji Hao, who had already packed up his things, was puzzled when he heard this, the Ji family's five-year small sacrifice and a hundred-year big sacrifice have long been a tradition in the clan, but in so many years of sacrifices, Ji Hao has not heard that the Ji family's big sacrifice can also cure diseases.

"Hao'er, there is too much fog in the Ji clan, and you naturally can't touch these things with your cultivation, but the Ji clan is by no means just a simple hermit. ”

"The secret technique of the Ji family's bloodline, the seclusion and no return to the mountain, the sacrifice of the Ji family, why is it sacrificed? What is the sacrifice? These things are probably never known to ordinary clansmen. But Ji Hao, as long as you know, those who can enter the altar of the Ji family's great sacrifice will have a chance, and this opportunity may be able to change the abnormality of your body. ”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ji Changkong began to tell Ji Hao bit by bit about the Ji family's sacrifice.

At this time, at the east entrance of Ji Village, there were several figures in luxurious military robes slowly landing on the periphery of the Mountain of No Return.

"Ji Junwu of the Ji family led the disciples of Qingyang Hall to meet the patriarch. ”

"Disciple of the Ji family, meet the patriarch. ”

As several figures landed, the first man with a lofty posture slowly walked in front of the old man who was still sitting in the grass hut, bowed his waist slightly, and behind him, several young men with a faint arrogance between their eyebrows also bent down at the same time.

"Yes, this generation of Qingyang Hall is full of talents, Junwu, you have done a good job, the big festival will start in a few days, you should go to the village." ”

There was no door in the grass hut, and the old man sitting in the house had already felt the breath of Ji Junwu and the others, but it was not until Ji Junwu opened his mouth that the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes. ”

Without any extra words, after Ji Junwu's voice fell, he led several disciples behind him to a bamboo building in the center of the village.

"Broken Dan is complete, one Divine Mansion, two Open Pulses, and six Reclamation, the ancestral land is difficult to call the ancestors. ”

When the figures of Ji Junwu and the others walked away, the old man who had been sitting lightly sighed softly, and a low murmur came out, and the old man's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

"Uncle, are you saying that in this junior competition of the Ji family's great festival, I want to break into the top ten, and I will have the opportunity to enter the altar to receive blood baptism, so as to break the shackles of my body?"

In the bluestone courtyard on the other side of the Ji village, Ji Hao listened to Ji Changkong's story about the big sacrifice, but his eyes were shining a little brightly again.

"Yes, every time the Ji family has a big sacrifice, the younger generation will compete in martial arts, and the top ten in the competition can enter the altar to be baptized.

The baptism of the Ji family has different benefits for everyone, but there is no doubt that these benefits are all great benefits, which is why my Ji family is still powerful even if they have lived in seclusion for generations. ”

Nodding at Ji Hao, Ji Changkong couldn't help but smile slightly.

In that small sacrifice more than ten years ago, he overwhelmed the geniuses of the Ji family with the power of the Open Pulse Realm, and finally won the championship, and was recognized by the ancestors on the altar of the Ji family.

As for the rumors in the clan that the life and destruction realm was recognized by the Dragon Tooth Great Bow, it was just a little cover for the high-level of the Ji family.

Over the years, the characters who have walked down from the altar of the Ji family, except for those who died young, the rest have basically walked out of the Mountain of No Return, and those who want to come to the Ji family have already noticed that the Ji family's sacrifice is no longer more important than the sacrifice, but more important than the comparison.

Thinking of this, Ji Changkong's face couldn't help but change slightly. Over the years, the Ji family's exposure in the bright side has been a little uneven, they will definitely not be absent from this kind of thing, I think this time the festival should also knock and knock them, the broken Dan realm is complete, I Ji Changkong wants to try.

"What's wrong, no faith?"

Retracting his thoughts, Ji Changkong turned his head to look at Ji Hao, and saw that the young man in sackcloth was frowning and thinking about something, Ji Changkong couldn't help but laugh.

"Most of the so-called geniuses in the clan have already reclaimed the Sea Realm, and Ji Shuo has even advanced to the Open Pulse Realm, with my cultivation of moving mountain realms, it is indeed difficult to win a seat from among these people. ”

Ji Hao heard Ji Changkong's voice, and naturally understood that Ji Changkong had stopped thinking, and the young man did not raise his head, but a deep voice came out slowly.

When Ji Changkong heard this, his eyes were a little complicated.

"But no matter how difficult it is, I have confidence, the first four realms of martial arts, no matter how strong they are, they are only cultivating the physical body, uncle, how can the mountain moving realm not fight with the open pulse realm?"

Just when Ji Changkong was about to say something, Ji Hao suddenly raised his head, and a high fighting spirit appeared out of thin air, and the young man's sudden words made Ji Changkong stunned, but then he laughed.

"Very good, worthy of my nephew. There is still half a month before Dabi, I will help you improve some combat power during this time, and tomorrow morning we will start to strengthen the Ji family's secret technique - burning blood!"

Seeing Ji Hao's blazing eyes, Ji Changkong's eyes couldn't help but be a little erratic, he was just as high-spirited now as he was back then!
