In the early morning, a touch of fish belly white was revealed in the east, and in the distant sky, the fiery red sun slightly rose half of its head, pulling the whole world back from the darkness.

A new day has started again, and all the people in the Lu family have already gotten up early to start a busy day. All kinds of hustle and bustle constantly echoed in all corners of the entire Lu family compound.

In a vast martial arts training ground in the southeast corner of the Lu family compound, hundreds of teenagers and teenagers with childish faces were conducting morning exercises with high morale, and bursts of "Huo, hey, ha" sounded in the square from time to time.

These are all disciples of the younger generation of the Lu family, the eldest is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one is only seven or eight years old. But they also have a good way of cultivating, which shows that the Lu family is still very attentive to the cultivation of the new generation.

Directly in front of the group of teenagers, there stood a middle-aged man in a cyan practice shirt with a serious expression, who was meticulously paying attention to the cultivation of those teenagers below, and would walk over to guide him when he found that any teenager was in the wrong posture.

This person is none other than Lu Zhong, the basic instructor of the Lu family. This person is upright, strict in his work, and relatively patient, so he is responsible for teaching the basic cultivation of the Lu family's family disciples in the past few years.

Under the guidance of such a demanding instructor as Lu Zhong, these immature teenagers of the Lu family have suffered a lot, especially those who have been pampered for a long time before, and they have been trained unspeakably. Therefore, there are many teenagers who try to get special treatment from him because the elders in their families are high-level in the family. However, Lu Zhong is upright, he doesn't pay attention to the pressure of those behind these people, and still treats everyone fairly according to his own requirements.

It is precisely because of Lu Zhong's strictness and uprightness that many high-level Lu family members are dissatisfied, and some have even joined forces to deal with him, but in the end they were all denied by the Lu family patriarch.

But whether it is in Longzhou City or the entire Cangmang Continent, from the small families in remote villages, to those countries, sects, and big families at the top of the world, they are all composed of countless warriors, and the warriors also start from the children of the younger generation, and each force needs countless fresh blood to support if it wants to develop and rise for a long time.

Therefore, as we all know, if a force wants to maintain long-term prosperity, it must be constantly replenished with fresh oil. The Lu family is no exception.

Longyan Cave!

Because the year-end competition is approaching, many of the Lu family's martial artists no longer come here to cultivate, so it is relatively quiet here now.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching now, the heat wave in Longyan Cave is still rolling at this time, and it is not affected by the outside weather in the slightest.

In the depths, Lu Yan sat cross-legged at this time like a Zen monk. The fire aura between heaven and earth formed an arc-shaped vortex above Lu Yan's heavenly spirit cover, slowly merging into his body. Lu Yan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat at this time, his eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, and there was a trace of pain on his face, obviously he had reached the critical juncture of cultivation at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a red essence flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

Then there was a crackling sound from the joints of the body.

"Boom" A powerful momentum erupted from Lu Yan's body, forming a whirlwind that was not big or small within a radius of two zhang, causing a burst of sparks to splash around. Lu Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and there was a drama in the secret way!

But soon, the surprise in Lu Yan's heart only lasted for a few seconds, and he felt that his eyes were suddenly dizzy, and then the surging power in his body quickly dried up like a deflated ball. The sudden change caught Lu Yan by surprise, but after all, he had been cultivating for so many years, and Lu Yan quickly reacted, running the Heavenly Flame Technique with all his might, and constantly absorbing the surrounding fire element aura.

"Poof," suddenly a mouthful of blood burst out, and then Lu Yan's entire upper body fell forward weakly, and at the moment he fell to the ground, Lu Yan only felt that his whole body was hollowed out, soft and weak.

After nearly half an hour, Lu Yan felt a little recovered, his right hand pressed on the ground, and he forced himself to sit up again, panting roughly.

"Still can't it, is it so difficult to break through the second layer of Qi training?" Lu Yan was a little unwilling in his heart, but his expression was very helpless.

Just yesterday, Lu Yan had already reached the peak of the first level of qi training. After a night of rest and adjustment, he planned to break through to the second layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm in one go, after all, now the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, which means that before the start of the clan ratio, there is not much time for him to cultivate, if he can go further in this Longyan Cave cultivation, it will undoubtedly be more secure for himself.

At that moment just now, he had obviously felt the critical point of the breakthrough, but in the end, he was unable to break through because of his lack of stamina. Sighing slightly and shaking his head, Lu Yan was a little helpless, thinking that he was still too anxious, and tried to break through continuously without laying a good foundation, but not only did he not get a good result, but he almost suffered internal injuries.

After resting for a few minutes, Lu Yan readjusted his body, and then began to continue to follow the running route of Tianyan Jue to slowly guide the fire aura around his body into the meridians.

Soon, under Lu Yan's guidance, the surrounding fire aura continued to pour into his body like a tide, covering all the meridians in his body.

The pale red crystal ball in the dantian was rotating at high speed, and the color of the crystal ball surface gradually became more vivid, fiery red.

I don't know how long later, the red spherical particle suddenly stopped spinning, and then with a "bu" sound, the spherical particle suddenly burst open, forming countless tiny particles that spread out to the surrounding meridians.

At this critical juncture, Lu Yan endured the severe pain, guiding this diffused aura to continuously wash the meridians of his body. And the faster operation of the exercises, forcibly introducing the fire aura from the outside into the body, the two aura of this out and one in the meridians constantly collided and then slowly fused together. If there were people next to him at this time, he would definitely see that Lu Yan's body at this time was like thousands of worms shuttling back and forth.

The severe pain made Lu Yan almost faint. But years of cultivation have made Lu Yan's will extremely firm, and he is stunned to maintain the last trace of clarity, and resolutely does not let himself relax.

In the end, at Lu Yan's insistence, the balance between the two auras was broken again, and the aura guided in by the outside world slowly oppressed the aura formed by the blasted aura, and the fusion between them became faster and faster, until the last part of each other.

In the end, Lu Yan urged and guided these spiritual qi that had been completely fused together until they were compressed into the dantian, and they continued to blend, forming a crystal ball particle again, the size of a soybean, with a crystal smooth surface.

With a "boom", at the moment of re-merging to form a ball, a momentum that was even more powerful than before erupted from Lu Yan's body, forming a storm around his body.

Whew, a mouthful of turbid breath came out of Lu Yan's mouth, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, reflecting the light within a foot in front of him.

At this time, Lu Yan felt that his body strength was incomparably abundant. Through internal viewing, it was found that a circular stripe appeared on the ball at the dantian.

"Whew", or failed. Lu Yan sighed helplessly, although the stripes on the ball were very clear and conspicuous, it also meant that he was still at the peak of the first layer of qi training, and it was between the second layer.

In the cultivation system of the Cangmang Continent, the realm judgment of a martial artist in the Qi training period is actually defined by the number of stripes on the Li Yuan balloon in the dantian.

At this time, there was only one Yuan balloon in Lu Yan's body

After adjusting for a while, Lu Yan slowly stood up. His eyes looked straight ahead, and he suddenly raised his right hand, and the fiery red fire attribute aura slowly lingered in the palm of his hand, and then he gently waved it towards the rock wall with a palm, and a strong gas shot out from the palm of his hand like a flying sword, hitting the rock wall fiercely. With a sound of "Peng", countless crushed stone chips flew everywhere. A small thumb-sized hole was formed in the rock wall.

Reiki detached attack, this is the unique attack ability of qi martial artists.

Looking at the small hole in the rock wall, Lu Yan was still very excited in his heart. Although he didn't break through to the second level of Qi cultivation this time, at least his strength has increased a lot compared to before.

............

In the lounge, Lu Yan rested for a while and then got up to pack his clothes. He had been cultivating here for several days, and there was no hope of breaking through in the short term, so he decided to leave for the time being.

Standing at the door of the lounge, Lu Yan looked at the direction of the depths of Longyan Cave, his eyes were a little unwilling, and a little helpless, he shook his head slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the exit.

Although he was not able to break through the second layer of cultivation this time, Lu Yan still felt that it was worth the trip, at least his strength had increased a lot. Moreover, in the past few days of cultivation, Lu Yan has become more and more handy with the cultivation of the Evergreen Technique. So he thinks that this time he has cultivated, and he has received quite a lot.

"Hey, it's so empty, why is there no one else cultivating here?" On the way out, Lu Yan found that there was no one figure, and he was very surprised, although it was already night at this time, but even if it was night, there were still people cultivating in Longyan Cave. But there was no one today, and he felt very strange.

Maybe it's because of the approaching Spring Festival, many people may be starting to adjust their state. After all, cultivating in the Dragon Yan Cave, because of the environment, is actually a lot of physical consumption. Lu Yan secretly guessed in his heart.

"Go home .......", Lu Yan groaned softly, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night........
