Chapter 2: The Secret of Genius
The Yu family is one of the three major families in Jinyang City, and it is rumored that the old master Yu Zhengming is a master of the Tianyuan Realm, and he can be regarded as the top person in cultivation within a radius of thousands of miles from Jinyang City.
Yu Zhengming had four sons, although their cultivation elemental attributes were different, but each of them had the cultivation of the True Yuan Realm, and the eldest son, Yu Congdong, had already been at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, and was only one step away from being promoted to the Tianyuan Realm.
In Yu Hao's family, the eldest uncle Yu Congdong gave birth to a son, the eldest son and eldest grandson Yu Yuan, the second uncle Yu Congxi died young and had no heirs; his father Yu Congnan gave birth to two sons, namely the third in line, and the second in line twin brother Yu You, as for the fourth uncle Yu Congbei, he had a son and a daughter, named Yu Hong and Yu Xue.
Originally, Yu Hao was the second oldest among the third-generation disciples, but because he didn't like the title of 'second', he swapped rankings with his twin brother Yu You, and was willing to be the third. Anyway, the two of them were born only an hour apart, and the elders of the family obeyed him, and Yu You was happy to change from a younger brother to a second brother.
Among the third generation of children, although Yu Yuan, the eldest son and eldest grandson, is only twenty years old this year, he is already a martial artist of the nine-star forging body, and although the rest of the descendants have not broken through to the nine-star forging body, they can be regarded as having good talent and good bones at their age at the moment, and they are in Jinyang City with the reputation of the Yu family.
Although the population of the Yu family is not very large, it has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there are hundreds of servants in the family.
Therefore, in the Yu family, except for the servants, each clan member has a courtyard that completely belongs to him, and of course the area of the courtyard is different according to the size of the generation.
Yu Hao returned to his courtyard, and before he could open the door, he saw his second brother Yu Youxiao standing in front of him.
Although Yu Hao and Yu You are twin brothers, they are not similar in appearance, but the relationship between the two is very harmonious.
"Second brother, why are you here?" Yu Hao said in surprise.
Yu You said dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, how many times have you said it, call the second brother!"
Yu You is very depressed, since he and Yu Hao exchanged rankings, Yu Hao has never called himself the second brother, and has always called him the second brother.
"Got it, second brother, didn't Daddy let you retreat and cultivate, why did you come here?"
Yu You waved his hand, not wanting to worry about him, and said, "It's too boring to always retreat, so come out for a walk." He pushed open Yu Hao's door and walked in first.
Yu You blinked his big bright eyes, and suddenly asked, "Third child, when will you break through to the True Yuan Realm?"
Yu Hao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't look like a fourteen-year-old child at all.
Gently patting his head, Yu You hurriedly grabbed Yu Hao's hand and said, "Third child, I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked." ”
Yu Hao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, it's none of your business, it's my own reason." ”
The children of the Yu family have to start cultivating from the age of five. For ordinary people, as long as they are not stupid to the point of idiocy, or they don't have any talent, then they can cultivate to the point of three-star forging within five years. As for the three-star forging body, it depends on the individual's talent, understanding and opportunities.
Yu Hao began to cultivate at the age of five, at the beginning, his progress was like a fly, and he sprung up among several brothers, only five years later, at the age of ten, he had been successfully promoted to the nine-star forging body, which shocked everyone at that time, and everyone called him a once-in-a-century cultivation genius in Qingyang County. In addition, he was born with a vision when he was born, Jinyang was in the sky, and he was born with golden pupils, and those who heard about him promoted him as a legend, and 'Jinyang Yu Hao' became a well-known figure in Jinyang City.
But after that, Yu Hao ran into trouble, he didn't break through to the True Yuan Realm for four years in the Nine Star Forging Body.
In the past four years, the other brothers in the family have been improving, although the speed of progress is far less than that of him at the beginning, but only he is standing still, no matter how hard he works, he just can't make any more progress.
Although Yu Hao's father and elders have also enlightened and reminded him many times, and told him very seriously that if he can't let go of the obsession in his heart, then it is very likely that he will not be able to break through to the True Yuan Realm in this life.
This is the mystery of cultivation, and it also takes a certain amount of chance in cultivation, and when you are lucky, you may naturally break through and be promoted when you are cultivating, and you don't even know it. And when you're unlucky, you may not be able to make any more progress for decades.
Of course, the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.
Although Yu Hao understands this truth, it's just that his own situation is another matter, and this is also a secret that has been buried in his heart for many years.
If that's all, it's okay, what makes Yu Hao feel terrifying is that in the past three years, his cultivation has actually not advanced but retreated, and once gradually fell from a nine-star forging body to a one-star forging body. Just a few days ago, he even found that he had lost even the cultivation of the one-star forging body, and the yuan power in his body had disappeared.
This made Yu Hao extremely panicked, he who had been living in the aura of genius for a long time was afraid, afraid of the consequences of losing all this. If a person is rich and famous, and then voluntarily gives up everything and lives an ordinary life, it can be said that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, but if this person is a beggar at all, but he says that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, it is ridiculous.
He didn't dare to tell anyone about it, not even his parents, he was afraid that his parents would be disappointed, that everyone would be disappointed, and that others would even mock him.
In the past three years, he has pretended that he is still the same genius he once was, but he did not dare to be as arrogant as before, he let go of all his pride and made himself a simple and unusually low-key.
Sometimes he is grateful to fate, but more often he hates fate, and fate can push him to the top, and it also pushes him to hell.
When he found that his cultivation was exhausted, he pondered and finally thought of a way, re-forging his body with spiritual liquid, and starting all over again, which was the matter of going to Danxing before.
Perhaps it was the mercy of the heavens, although his cultivation was completely lost, his body was extremely strong, and he still maintained the strength and strength of the nine-star forging body. The forging period is the process of tempering the body, and he has completed the nine-star forging a few years ago, naturally maintaining the strength of his body.
Martial artists in the forging period can't see their strength on the surface, and the only thing that can prove is how much strength they exert. Outsiders judge the level according to their strength, and only they can judge the level of cultivation by feeling the yuan power in their bodies, and it is because of this that Yu Hao has been able to hide it for so long.
It's just that people who don't have Yuan Force cultivation can't use Yuan Force to explode their own strength, let alone cultivate combat skills, and no matter how great their strength is, they can't break through to the True Yuan Realm.
Sighing softly, Yu Hao slowly stood up straight, and under the illumination of the moonlight, the young body was unexpectedly lonely.
Seeing that Yu Hao's face was getting worse and worse, Yu You smiled reluctantly and said, "Third child, I still have some things, go back first, you pay more attention to rest!"
Yu Hao smiled reluctantly and nodded, and Yu You immediately left as fast as a sparrow.
Watching Yu You leave, Yu Hao sighed, and the smile on his face had long since disappeared. He turned around slowly, and suddenly felt a figure approaching in his mind, his heart trembled, his feet moved slightly, and he immediately stepped back a few feet like a cloud.
Just put on a posture of both offense and defense, Yu Hao suddenly stood up straight with a wry smile and said, "Uncle, you are here." ”
Yu Congdong's figure walked out of the darkness slowly, he looked at Yu Hao with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "Hao'er, how did you know that I was here?"
Yu Hao was slightly stunned, disturbed his scalp, and said, "I heard the sound of you walking." ”
Yu Congdong looked at it, and his heart was full of doubts, could it be that he had landed so heavily just now? Yu Congdong had a faint smile on his puzzled face, and said, "Hao'er, your reaction is very good." ”
"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment. ”
In fact, he could detect that Yu Congdong's arrival did not really hear his footsteps, but relied on a kind of soul power. It's a feeling that is far more acute than the average person, and it's purely innate.
"Why haven't you cultivated combat skills in recent years?" Yu Congdong said suddenly: "If you want to change your set of combat skills to cultivate, you can go directly to the fourth uncle, and the combat skills in the battle skills pavilion in the family are up to you." ”
Yu Hao's heart trembled slightly, and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Yu Congdong nodded, walked in the direction where Yu You left, and said at the same time: "Don't forget the family dinner tonight, I'll go see Yu You and see if his kid is lazy." ”
Looking at the uncle's back, Yu Hao looked up at the sky, and finally sighed helplessly. If this continues, I'm afraid the uncle will find some clues.
