In summer, the midday sun shines on everything white.

On the wide martial arts training ground, many children are standing in the middle, carrying heavy sandbags, exposed to the scorching sun, repeating the basic movements of punching and closing punches.

More children are resting in the shade of the trees.

They were in their early teens, both boys and girls.

"It's still the old rule, practice for half an hour more!" the head said in a deep voice.

Although the sound is low, it can penetrate the piercing cicada cry and reach everyone's ears accurately.

This sect head has a square face, round eyes, big shoulders and a round waist, and his whole body exudes the firmness and perseverance unique to martial cultivators.

After the order was given, the head of the sect left the martial arts training ground. His departure made some of the children who were practicing in the martial arts training field suddenly relaxed, but there were still a few, still meticulous, letting the sweat drip down.

The children resting in the shade began to gather together, wiping sweat and drinking water, chatting and admiring the embarrassment of their companions under the scorching sun.

"I just counted, and this time it's not bad, and the teaching has only caught seventy-three people. ”

"Yes, yes, I arrested more than 100 people last time, and half of us were punished!"

"Hmph, those who are punished are all stealing and cheating, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is not so difficult to refine your body!"

A small group of children were talking.

Among the bunch of children next to this, someone said, "I heard that someone sold the body refining pill sent by the family, so the body refining speed will be slow." ”

The people on the side sighed for a while, it was incomprehensible to them that such an important cultivation resource would be sold.

Another person said, "I heard that someone's body refining pill will be taken away by their own parents. ”

This small circle of chatter, a few more people came together, and when they heard what they just said, some were angry and some were suspicious.

Seeing that someone was suspicious, the man pointed to a person in the martial arts training ground and said, "Look at the girl on the very edge, her name is Ye Qing, I heard that she has never taken the Body Refining Pill, and her Body Refining Pill has always been handed over to her own elders. ”

Everyone believed it now, because this girl named Ye Qing practiced extremely seriously, but she was always judged as "unqualified" by the head of the coach, and she practiced for half an hour.

Everyone was indignant at how could the family have such a shameless elder, the Body Refining Pill was the only cultivation resource distributed by the family to each child at the body refining stage.

The eyes of this small circle of children fell on Ye Qing's body.

Dressed in gray practice clothes, he looks thin and ordinary.

Everyone looked at it twice and found that there was nothing special, and the topic gradually changed.

Most of these children who practice martial arts are eleven or twelve years old, and some are older. In this world where power is respected, their minds have begun to mature, and their topics are no longer about eating and playing, but more about cultivation.

After resting for a while, the children dispersed, leaving only the dozens of children who were still practicing in the martial arts training ground.

Ye Qing was gritting his teeth and persevering.

Sweat had already soaked her clothes, and her black hair was about to get soaked.

She clearly felt that her muscles were tearing little by little as she punched again and again, and at the same time healing little by little, and in the process, her strength could increase a little.

She has tasted this feeling for two years, and it is all too familiar.

Without the help of the Body Refining Pill, she could only rely on herself!

Ye Qing clearly remembered that two years ago, as a child of the Ye family, she received the first Body Refining Pill issued by her family in Dantang.

At that time, she was only ten years old, and she knew that she should take the initiative!

Take the initiative to exchange what you can't keep for what you can't keep.

What can't be retained is the refining list.

What is left is the opportunity to learn martial arts on your own.

Immediately, she did not hesitate to send the Body Refining Pill to the uncle, and proposed that in the future, she would hand over all the Body Refining Pill every ten days to the uncle, just to be able to follow the children of the family to learn martial arts.

After a moment of silence, the uncle agreed.

From then on, the eldest aunt Wang never arranged errands for her, and let her eat and drink and live in her own home like a human being.

A Body Refining Pill was nothing to the uncle's family, but it was more important than her niece, who lived under the roof.

If she didn't take out this body refining pill, then how could she have time to practice martial arts in the martial arts arena with the endless chores that were waiting for her every day.

Since then, Ye Qing has been refining his body for two years. Without the help of the Body Refining Pill, it would be difficult for her to refine her body, but she was already the maximum she could do.

Ye Qing has always been calm and calm about his situation.

Since he was a child, his parents left home to practice, and since then he has not been heard from, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

She clearly remembered that when her parents left Chixin City, they gave her uncle some benefits, in order to get better care for herself.

When Ye Qing first came to his uncle's house, he was indeed taken care of well, and his food and clothing were no different from his own children.

It's just that people's hearts are always changing slowly, and gradually Ye Qing's life is not as good as day by day.

Even if Ye Qing is early, there is no other way but to accept it.

Uncle Ye Rong is the Ye family's new water realm master, and he is also a member of the Ye family's magic circle, and his status in the Ye family is second only to the elders.

Ye Qing seems to have an extraordinary sensitivity to human things since he was a child.

Uncle Ye Rong's greed and calculation, Uncle Wang's stinginess and jealousy, and cousin Ye Jinlan's vanity and contrivedness, she has been watching fire since she was a child.

A child who grows up like this may be able to give birth to a cowardly heart, or a heart of resentment, or a heart of self-abandonment, but Ye Qing has actually given birth to a firm and calm heart.

She believes that the virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid.

She also firmly believes that in this world where strength is respected, if you want to survive and live well, growing stronger is the only way out.

After a morning of cultivation, Ye Qing was extremely tired.

When I returned to the hut where the uncle's family lived, it was already past lunchtime.

As soon as you enter the door, a burst of aroma hits you.

A maid was in Ye Qing's room, sewing something stitch by stitch.

This maid's name is Banlian, five or six years older than Ye Qing, and she is the age of youth and beauty.

When she first entered her uncle's house, she was waiting in front of the Wang family, but within a few days, she was disgusted with her work and sent to the kitchen to help.

When Ye Qing was seven years old, he was sent to this house, which was next to the house where the people lived below, and since then he has been taken care of by Banlian.

"Xiaoqing, I'm back, I'm tired, eat quickly!" Banlian saw Ye Qing enter the door and happily beckoned her to sit down and eat.

For Ye Qing's already soaked clothes and soaked hair, Banlian was no longer surprised.

Ye Qing's little face, which had been tense, couldn't help but smile.

Before Ye Qing could speak, Banlian's face lit up and said, "Our Miss Qing should smile more, how beautiful a smile is." ”

Ye Qing shook his head secretly in his heart and said, "It's just skin, don't worry too much about Banlian, especially in choosing a husband." ”

Ye Qing's words made Banlian's cheeks suddenly crimson, as if he was caught by Ye Qing's heart.

She glanced at Ye Qing, changed the topic and said, "Tomorrow you will be enlightened, the new clothes will be sewn soon, you are going to eat quickly." ”

Ye Qing responded and said, "I'll rinse it first and then eat." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a change of clothes and walked out of the house.

Whenever Banlian met Ye Qing coming back from the martial arts training ground, she would persuade her to eat first, but Ye Qing always rinsed first, and both of them had their own little stubbornness.

Banlian muttered: "If you starve to death one day, you must be delayed in taking a bath." ”

Before Ye Qing returned to the house, Banlian sewed up her clothes and left in a hurry. She still has her own errands waiting for her, so she can only come to Ye Qing to help out in her spare time.

Although this meal is a subordinate meal, it is a large amount of food, and Banlian will pick and choose some good ones for Ye Qing to serve every time.

After washing and eating, Ye Qing climbed into bed, and the morning of practice made her feel sore, and she immediately fell asleep deeply.
