A round of sunset, smeared with glow.

Ji Fan, who was lying on the stone bed, felt the warm sun shining on his body, and the feeling of tightness in his chest with no blood in his chest slowly dissipated a little.

Although he was wearing a cotton jacket and had received more than 20 sticks before, it still hurt Ji Fan to the bones.

Ji Fan, who was flushed with a sick face, closed his purple lips tightly, his throat squirmed slightly, swallowed a small mouthful of saliva that had gathered for a long time, and silently endured it.

For more than a year, practicing boxing and being beaten was like a daily routine for Ji Fan, if not, the accumulated meridians in his body would completely stop his qi and blood, that is, when he died.

At this time, Ji Fan, who was lying on the stone bed, seemed to have a weak breath, like a living dead, but in fact, his physical strength was no weaker than that of a martial artist who was refining his muscles and bones.

Since his father Ji Baofeng left two years ago, the second aunt recommended the hunchbacked old man Chen Gengnian to take care of Ji Fan's condition.

Although Ji Fan did not forget his father Ji Baofeng's advice and completely trusted his second aunt, he once thought that the hunchbacked old man he had seen before and came to the door a year later was his hope of survival.

But gradually, from the changes in the second aunt's performance and attitude, Ji Fan felt that something was wrong.

Because Ji Fan has been in poor health since he was a child, he learned the knowledge of herbal medicine after being sensible, and after he experienced a headache caused by taking the so-called healing pill of his second aunt, he soon discovered the soul refining grass contained in the elixir.

The Soul Refining Grass has the effect of an illusory person's sanity, although it is not common, but the Burial Spirit Mountain Range has this herb.

The Soul Refining Herb, which has a small amount of medicine, can be combined with warm and tonic herbs such as silver horn flower and tansy, which can treat the injuries of soldiers who have been physically and mentally injured after the war.

Ji Fan could detect that the Delusion Pill that the second aunt had made him eat was much more powerful in the medicinal properties of the Soul Refining Grass, and it was also mixed with Burning Blood Fruit and Za Forget Grass, as well as other slow poisons that damaged the soul and body.

If it weren't for the remnants of Ji Fan's physical body, the hunger, thirst and emptiness generated by the transformation over the years have gradually swallowed up the medicinal power of the Delusion Pill, but I am afraid that his current independent consciousness has long been erased.

Not to mention Ji Fan's second aunt, even the hunchbacked old man didn't expect that after taking the Delusion Pill step by step, this seemingly sluggish teenager who had lost his independent consciousness had become more and more tenacious in his spiritual sense.

For more than a year, after Ji Fan pretended to be a living dead and completely discovered that the second uncle's family and the hunchbacked old man had bad intentions, he was not afraid, and he didn't dare to sleep even if he was in pain, afraid that he would talk in his sleep, and even more afraid that he would not be able to sleep.

Ji Fan didn't dare to relax and rest, there was another reason, that is, once his tense consciousness relaxed, the hunger, thirst and emptiness were a little uncontrollable, just like a person who was thirsty and hungry and panicked, anxious to find water and food.

Until now, no one, including the hunchbacked old man, has discovered that Ji Fan's body is slowly devouring the transformation of the external spirit, which is also his chance to survive in a desperate situation.

After Ji Fan took the Obsessive Pill, such a young man who seemed to be sluggish, no longer spoken, and barely hung on his breath and was not worthy of guard, turned out to be a monster who had been trained by the hands of a hunchbacked old man and a beautiful woman.

In the past, Ji Fan had seen the fragment of the secret method of the Burning Sky Valley taken out by his father Ji Baofeng.

It's a pity that the animal skin scroll was burned to the point that there was nothing left, and there was only the most superficial method of exhalation on it, as well as the Haoyang Fist was still complete, and then it was the Burning Fire Forging Body Technique.

The Burning Fire Forging Body Technique is not an orthodox cultivation method, but a disciple of the Burning Heaven Valley, when it is difficult for him to open his spiritual vein, exhausted half of his life's hard work to create the method of borrowing external fire to quench the body, and there is no follow-up, and the record on the fragment is very clear.

At the beginning, Ji Baofeng said that the incineration of the fire forging method is too extreme, and it is necessary to introduce external fire into the body, this way of quenching the body is extremely painful, and it is extremely dangerous.

However, an extreme quenching technique has become one of the few life-saving straws that Ji Fan can hope for in a desperate situation.

Through the previous study of the cultivation foundation, Ji Fan knew that the gap between the True Yuan Martial Artist and the Open Pulse Spiritual Cultivation was unattainable, and his current strength could tear the evil wolf alive, but after all, it was only a mortal martial art, and it was still a state of meridian siltation, and he could not mobilize the True Yuan.

If a martial artist wants to enter the true path of cultivation, he must first open the spiritual vein, so that he can purify his body and transform his mortal body, cultivate spiritual methods and spiritual techniques, and use treasures and unpredictable means.

As far as Ji Fan knew, the hunchbacked old man was a qi refiner who had planted a spiritual root, and under normal circumstances, I was afraid that several powerful mortal martial artists would not be able to deal with him.

At present, in the Ji family, only Ji Fan's grandfather and uncle are qi refiners, and in addition, it is the hunchbacked old man.

Rao is Ji Ming has qualifications, but before he successfully opened the spiritual vein, he did not enter the path of spiritual cultivation, which is an insurmountable barrier for the vast majority of cultivators in their lives.

The ordinary method of spitting in, even if you cultivate to old age, you still can't open the barrier to spiritual cultivation, and if you want to open the spiritual vein and cultivate spiritual roots, you have to rely on the extradition of the big cultivation sects, even if it is successful, it will be more and more difficult in the future.

In Ji Fan's opinion, if he wants to fight the hunchbacked old man head-on, there will be no chance of winning, what he can count on is to accumulate strength and prepare, so that when there are changes and opportunities, he can grasp it.

Over the past year, Ji Fan has thought of running away countless times, but after the second aunt and the hunchbacked old man thought that he had lost his sense of autonomy and didn't care about his face, they didn't let him go out of the courtyard courtyard.

The inability to get out of the courtyard also means that it is difficult for Ji Fan to grasp the situation in the Ji Mansion, so that he does not dare to run away, let alone the people who are watching him all the time.

"Squeak!"

The faint footsteps of the courtyard of Jifu Liujin came from far and near, and the door of the courtyard courtyard was pushed open, breaking the silence.

Hearing the sound outside, Ji Fan didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly closed his eyes and lay on the bed as if he was in a coma.

"The head of the house. ”

The pock-faced woman in a house in the courtyard was very alert, and quickly came out and saluted the old man led by a group of visitors.

The old man with white hair, with a majestic figure and no anger and self-authority, is Ji Hong, the contemporary head of the Ji family, and Ji Fan's grandfather.

"How's Ji Fan's situation?"

The white-haired old man looked at the pock-faced woman, and only after five breaths did he ask, as if he had an opinion on her care.

The little master finally stabilized, lying in the house, and the slave didn't dare to touch it easily. The pock-faced woman's eyes were shone and restrained, and she was obviously a master of true yuan.

"Father, let's go in and take a look, the messenger of the Xuanyin Sect will come if you can't tell when. Just when the white-haired old man was about to question the pock-faced woman, the middle-aged man with a short beard who was in his forties next to him reminded him in time.

A group of people outside the house followed the white-haired old man into Ji Fan's house.

"What a smell!"

A young woman, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, was beautiful and lovely, and her face was disgusted when she smelled the smell of blood mixed with herbs in the house.

"Ji Fan?"

Seeing the young man lying on the stone bed, shivering as if he was very cold, the white-haired old man Ji Hong summoned him with a little concern.

Among the people of the Ji family, only the beautiful woman came forward to take a look, and the rest of the people had a vague disgust and disgust for Ji Fan on the bed.

It seems that Ji Fan, who is trembling unconsciously, can feel the coldness of the Ji clan without opening his eyes.

The Ji family's disgust was due to the loss of patience with Ji Fan's long-term illness, and the second was that he needed to rely on herbs and pills to hold his breath, in the cultivation family, it was tantamount to competing for cultivation resources, and some people attributed Ji Baofeng's disappearance to him.

Whether it is in the Ji Mansion or outside, there are many sayings that Ji Fan, a sick seedling, is a drag and a mourning star.

"Why did you start shivering?"

Seeing that Ji Fan was wearing a padded jacket, with a lot of bandages wrapped in it, and his hands were bleeding, the white-haired old man didn't care too much, obviously he knew about it before.

"Qi and blood blockage, maybe give feedback to the instinctive consciousness of the decrease in body temperature, he used to exercise vigorously, no longer sweating, and he didn't eat much. The hunchbacked old man replied with a sigh.

"In this way, if Ji Fan can't move, will the flow of qi and blood gradually stop?" the white-haired old man Ji Hong frowned.

"If you don't find another way, you won't be able to survive for long, so I want to use the Earth Fire Spring to speed up the operation of his qi and blood. The hunchbacked old man pretended to be helpless.

"The Earth Fire Spring in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range is a cursed spring, which will make people's blood boil and be insane, the third child is now uncertain about his life and death, and Ji Fan can't have any more accidents. The white-haired old man Ji Hong hesitated.

"Father, you can't watch Ji Fan lying here waiting to die, his current state, not to mention when he can't stay up, even the Su family, who has made a small family affair, has now come to ask for the marriage seal, Su Yan girl has obtained the introduction token of Qinglan Sect, and she can't climb high, if it weren't for the fact that our Ji family also has a talent like Ji Ming, I'm afraid that the Su family will turn their faces when they come. The short-bearded middle-aged man persuaded with a straight face.

This short-bearded middle-aged man is Ji Fan's second uncle, Ji Baorong.

The white-haired old man looked at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and then glanced at Ji Fan who was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but show a look of annoyance.

A young man in snow-white clothes, his handsome face is full of arrogance, he does have the capital to be arrogant, he was led by the Xuanyin Sect at the age of twelve, if he opens the spiritual vein and enters the inner door of the Xuanyin Sect, with his young talent, it is not impossible to surpass the hunchbacked old man Chen Gengnian in a few years.

"Take Ji Fan to the Fire Spring in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range, think about it again, first move him to the stone house on the side, and set up a few carbon stoves. When the white-haired old man was about to go out, he explained to Ji Baorong.

In the scorching summer, it was very hot in the house alone, and some people in the Ji family didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like to arrange the stove again.

In particular, the stone house in the courtyard is built of hot stones, which is used to process medicinal herbs, and the sun is hot to touch for a day.

"Ji Fan, you just don't lie down alive, I'm going to Xuanyin Sect. The white-clothed young man came to the side of the stone bed and sneered without concealing it.
