The boundary where Beixu is located is the most remote and the geographical location is the highest on the Shenluo Continent, although it has risen rapidly for some reason in the past few years, but twenty years ago, Beixu was a rather unsuitable place for cultivation, and good seedlings will try their best to seek development in the other four realms.

Twenty years ago, Shen Boxian was still a young man under 20 years old, and his parents died of serious illness one after another when he was 10 years old.

Until he encountered a crucial turning point in his life.

Shen Boxian clearly remembered that it was an ordinary winter morning, as soon as he opened the door as usual, he looked up and crashed into a pair of dew-clear eyes. Qing'e, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, had a beautiful face, and when she smiled, she showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and her eyes were crooked like crescents in the sky, and she asked in a slightly shy voice:

"How do I get to Night City? And also...... Can you give me a glass of water? ”

After speaking, she licked her lips that looked a little dry and peely because of lack of water, and seeing that Shen Boxian's expression was a little stunned, her little white hand unconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes, and added embarrassedly:

"That...... None of the other doors were opened......"

Winter in Beixu comes exceptionally early every year, and the low temperature makes many people in the small city reluctantly open the door near noon, but Shen Boxian is an outlier, he has an extraordinary resistance to the cold, so no matter what the weather is, he will open the door on time, and sometimes even he himself doesn't know what he is waiting for.

It wasn't until much later that he realized that what he had been waiting for was that light.

Qing'e sat on a small low chair, holding a bowl in both hands and drinking hot water in small sips, and her face turned a little ruddy after the bowl bottomed out, and then she spoke:

"I originally heard that the Zhao family in Night City was recruiting foreign children, and those who were talented could try it, so I rushed over from afar, but I encountered a storm on the road two days ago, and I finally came out......"

"It's not far from Night City, and it's a two-day walk to the southeast."

Shen Boxian has been staying in this small and old city for most of the time he can remember, but fortunately, Night City is the largest city in the area he knows, and he has listened to others talk about how prosperous it is. With his rather shallow knowledge of the region, he roughly estimated the location below, and the distance between Night City and his place should be only a few dozen kilometers, which is relatively close.

Hearing this, Qing'e's expression became excited, and she felt a sense of relief in addition to excitement, but fortunately she didn't go in the wrong direction.

However, when Qing'e walked to the door in the afternoon and was about to say goodbye to Shen Boxian, the sky began to snow one after another, and the snow became bigger and bigger, and soon the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice and snow.

Qing'e stomped her feet angrily, and after weighing it, she decided to spend the night in Shen Boxian's humble house.

Who knew that the snow was bigger on the second day, and the snow on the ground was thicker, Qing'e looked at Shen Boxian who was sweeping the snow in front of the door helplessly and asked:

"Why is this snow getting heavier and heavier?"

"I'm afraid it's snowing, and it snows heavily for several days at this time of year."

Shen Boxian stretched out his hand to bounce away a few pieces of snow that fell on his shoulders, looked up, frowned, and added:

"However, this year's snow season seems to have come earlier, and the snow is unusually heavy......

In the end, the snow lasted for ten days, and the snow on the road was thicker than half a person, and by the time the snow melted and the road was clear, it was already half a month later.

In the past half a month, it seems like a lot of things have happened, and it seems like nothing has happened.

In short, Shen Boxian finally left the place where he had lived for more than 20 years with Qing'e.

In front of the old house, two snowmen had not yet melted, one taller and the other shorter, both painted with big smiling faces, and everyone who passed by would feel a little happier when they saw them.

Later, Shen Boxian and Qing'e both became disciples of the Zhao family, and Shen Boxian knew at that time that although Qing'e was not very talented in cultivation, she had a good understanding in the spirit array.

And he is really because of his cultivation talent.

Originally, he just accompanied Qing'e to participate in the trial, but he was unexpectedly valued by Zhao Yuan, the head of the Zhao family at that time and a famous party.

Shen Boxian hadn't awakened his talent at all at that time, and he wasn't even a spirit master, but Zhao Yuan insisted on accepting him for entry despite the opposition of the deacons.

"You can't go wrong with this stone spirit jade pendant!"

I still remember that Zhao Yuan was excitedly holding a piece of jade pendant with a whole body of turquoise, and the jade pendant suddenly began to shine with colorful light when he approached Shen Boxian.

It is said that the raw material of the jade pendant is the stone core of a strange stone of heaven and earth that is quite spiritual, and once it gets close to a person with a high cultivation talent, it will produce a vision. Over the years, that jade pendant has never moved since, except for the time when it was first taken by Zhao Yuan in his hand many years ago, so long that Zhao Yuan almost forgot its existence and only wore it on his body as an ordinary jade pendant.

Who knew that at the moment when he passed by Shen Boxian, the jade pendant suddenly became hot and began to glow. After Zhao Yuan experienced a brief period of consternation, he was instantly ecstatic, you must know that the environment in Beixu is not very suitable for cultivation, not to mention that in a night city like theirs, which is not particularly big, there are very few seedlings who have the talent to produce different phases of spirit stones!

Although there are many children in the Zhao family, but when it comes to qualifications, most of them are tall people who are drawn from the short ones, so Zhao Yuan originally wanted to cultivate a patriarch heir, but he was suffering from the lack of a good object, so in the past few years, he has attracted a large number of cultivators to participate in the trial, in order to dig out some good seedlings.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Shen Boxian's appearance gave him new hope!

"Okay, you Shen Boxian! I originally thought that I could let you enter the Zhao family by the way because of my talent, but I didn't expect that you were the one who was hidden! ”

Qing'e reacted after a brief shock, and kept poking Shen Boxian's shoulder with her fingers, complaining dissatisfiedly.

Thinking that her spiritual array cultivation also had some chances, and she had been guided by a master, although Zhao Yuan also praised her a lot in the previous trial, but compared with the fanatical eyes he looked at Shen Boxian before, she was a big witch in that instant.

Shen Boxian was about to open his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by a voice in front of him.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"This trial is over, those who have passed the selection will come in with me now, and those who have not passed are invited to go back to various places."

Hearing this, some people were excited, some people were lost, and soon most of them left one after another, leaving only more than ten people, all of whom had a tacit understanding and looked at the people in front of them at the same time.

The young man in a blue robe, a few years older than Shen Boxian, is indeed much more stable and old, a pair of small but shrewd eyes, looking at these people who are still present one by one, his gaze paused imperceptibly for a moment when he swept over Shen Boxian.

After a long time he spoke again:

"I am the person directly in charge of your cultivation matters within this year, Zhao Zixiao."
