It was getting late, and the entire snow-white Lingyang City was slowly covered with layers of faint darkness by the upcoming night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMany houses are hung with lanterns, and the faint light finally adds some warmth to this Lingyang City.

The snow on the streets of the city seems to have been specially cleared, piled up on both sides of the street to form small "snow mountains". ”

Bustling crowds could still be seen on the main streets of Lingyang City, and as soon as the qi in their mouths was exhaled, it immediately turned into a cloud of white mist and dissipated into the air.

Despite the bitter cold and snowy wind, the people on the streets were still thinly clothed and chatting and laughing, as if the cold weather had not made them feel a chill.

On both sides of the quaint street, there are tall wooden buildings, and the cold wind passes, bringing up shop flags and fluttering, and the tall buildings that stand in the forest have not moved at all, and it is obvious that the trees used to build the buildings are extremely tough.

To the south of the city, there is a small river that runs through the city, and this river is called the Thin River. Now the river is full of ice and snow, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a white patch of snow.

There are countless courtyards on both sides of the Xiaoliu River, the large ones are dozens of miles in radius, and the small ones are several miles in radius. In the distance, a small courtyard with a radius of only a few miles came from time to time with a few dull roars, and some tattered and dilapidated plaques in front of the courtyard were engraved with the four big characters of "Small Courtyard".

In the small courtyard, the snow in the open-air patio has been swept away, and a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old, with his bare upper body, rushes up with his fists from time to time, and retreats from time to time.

In front of the young man, there was a strange black stone with a special texture on it, and the stone looked extremely heavy and hard just by looking at it.

Despite the cold weather, the boy was still covered in beads of sweat. His long, haphazardly tied hair was draped over his back, some of it drenched with sweat. His slender figure flashed from time to time, and under the green tendons, there were even knotted muscles contracting.

The young man's expression was solemn, and there was a faint unwillingness in his deep eyes, which became more and more obvious as the teenager's movements accelerated, and his angular but not handsome face revealed an inexplicable indifference and perseverance.

Suddenly, the boy lunged forward and threw his fists at the dark stone, only to hear a sound that seemed to be the cracking of bones, and the boy's fists were covered with blood.

And the dark black boulder he hit did not move at all, and it was not damaged in the slightest.

"Why? Why can't it be smashed!! Why can others pinch a shattered black lazuli with a slight wave of their hand, and I, Ye Jintian, can't move it even with all my might? Am I destined to be a waste for the rest of my life? I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling! The boy suddenly knelt before the dark stone and cried out in a mournful voice, as if he had been resentful for many years.

However, the resentment in his heart has indeed accumulated for many years, and it seems that this resentment in his heart has begun to accumulate since he can remember.

And the source of this resentment is the spiritual seal.

The spirit seal, the natal spirit seal that everyone in this world will have when they are born, and only with the spirit seal can people cultivate. Each person's spirit seal will have their own attributes, and the spirit seal of the people in this world has the five basic attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the three different attributes of wind, thunder, and ice.

There is also a clear difference in the level of each person's spirit seal, and the cultivation speed of the higher level is fast, and the cultivation that can be achieved is also higher. The cultivation speed of low-level people is slow, and it is even more difficult to reach a higher level.

There are five levels of spiritual seals: human level, Xuan level, divine level, holy level, and spirit level, the lowest is the human level, and the highest is the spirit level. Each level is divided into four levels: low, intermediate, advanced, and top.

And Ye Jintian is a person without a spirit seal, as far as he knows, there has not been a person without a spirit mark in this world for tens of thousands of years, he is the only one, the only one in this world, the only one in this world.

Even if it is the lowest-level human-level spirit seal, it is still a spirit seal after all, and it can absorb spiritual energy for cultivation. But Ye Jintian didn't even have a spirit seal, let alone the level of the spirit seal, without a spirit seal, he could only cultivate his own body.

However, more than ten years have passed, and he still can't break through this black lazuli that can be easily crushed like an egg in the eyes of people with spirit seals.

"It seems that it is really fate, people, many times I have to accept fate." Ye Jintian stared at the black gold stone for a long time, his eyes were suddenly full of decadence, and then he got up and sighed softly, and walked towards the inner room.

It didn't take long for smoke to rise from the inner room, and after a long time, there was a faint smell of food, and the smell of that smell made people appetite greatly.

On the round table in the hall, there were a few discs, and the aroma of the meal came from here, Ye Jintian sat on a wooden chair, looking out the window, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "It's dark, why hasn't Xin'er come back yet, if you don't come to this meal, it will be cold?" ”

Immediately, he smiled bitterly again: "How did I forget, in fact, there is no need to eat this meal at all." Xin'er's spirit seal level is so high, she has cultivated to the spirit for many years, what else do you need to eat? It's just Ye Jintian, Ye Jintian, I'm afraid you'll have to eat for the rest of your life, who made you unable to cultivate? But that's fine, so as not to deprive you of your good craft. ”

At this moment, a beautiful but somewhat childish girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother, I'm back." ”

When Ye Jintian heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, and immediately rushed to the door, opened the door, and saw the familiar face, so he shouted happily: "Xin'er, you are finally back." Come and eat, or it'll be cold. ”

The girl's full name is Lin Xin'er, she is an orphan of the Lin family around her, she and Ye Jintian have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and the two have long regarded each other as their most important relatives.

Lin Xin'er looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked two or three years younger than Ye Jintian. Lin Xin'er was dressed in a plain skirt, her flowing hair was covered with snowflakes, Ye Jintian introduced the girl into the door, wiped off the snowflakes in her hair, arranged for her to sit down, and then served her a meal.

At this time, Xin'er noticed Ye Jintian's injured hand, and her somewhat round and childish cheeks were a little worried: "Brother, what's wrong with your hand?" You, you're going to smash the black gold again? ”

When Ye Jintian heard this, he retracted his hand backwards and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you're dazzled." Let's eat. ”

Xin'er stepped forward and grabbed Ye Jintian's hand and looked at it carefully, and said with some distress: "Brother, why are you still so stupid, you know that without a spirit seal is fundamental, you can't cultivate at all, you will only bring more harm to yourself like this, do you know?" I can protect you in the future, but you won't be allowed to do this in the future, okay, will you promise me? ”

Ye Jintian looked at the prayer and sincerity in Xin'er's eyes, a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, he was silent for a long time, as if he had made some major decision, he nodded: "Well, don't worry, I won't let you worry in the future." ”

"Let's eat."

"Hmm."

"Brother, the food you cook is getting more and more fragrant."

"yes, then you eat more." Ye Jintian sandwiched the vegetables for Xin'er, and looked at Xin'er eating happily, and his heart was full of satisfaction.

Maybe for the current Ye Jintian, Xin'er, the only relative, is all his sustenance.

After the meal, Ye Jintian didn't let Xin'er do anything, and quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then the two sat quietly on the chairs.

"Xin'er, do you think I'm useless?" Ye Jintian suddenly asked Xin'er beside him.

"Brother, it won't! You are the best brother in the world, even if we are not brothers and sisters, but you are better to me than my own sister. I also regard you as the only relative in this world, I still remember that I was bullied when I was five years old, even if you didn't have a spirit seal and couldn't cultivate, but you still beat away those who bullied me, in my heart, brother, you are the most powerful person in the world. I know you're not afraid of anything for my sake. Hearing this, Xin'er looked at Ye Jintian and said.

"But then it was your sister who was protecting my brother." Ye Jintian nodded and replied, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his deep eyes.

"We are relatives, of course we have to protect each other." Xin'er seemed to see the bitterness in Ye Jintian's eyes, she smiled and comforted.

"Do you think I was abandoned by my parents because I didn't have a spirit seal?" A glint flashed in Ye Jintian's eyes, and he suddenly asked.

"No, how could it be, I don't think your parents abandoned you, they should have their own hardships. What parent doesn't love their children? Xin'er was stunned by Ye Jintian's question, and she was silent for a while before she replied in an uncertain tone.

When Ye Jintian heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "I hope so, but this hardship is a little difficult to explain, after all, according to my guess, the Zhang family is not a small force." ”

"Brother, aren't you also from the Zhang family?" Xin'er heard this and said.

"It used to be, it wasn't now, and it won't be anymore. After leaving the leaf, my surname is Ye! Yezi, I don't know how you're doing? A trace of determination flashed in Ye Jintian's eyes, and then a flash of pain.

"Sister Ye Zi should be doing well now, brother, forget about her, after all, it's been so long." Xin'er couldn't bear it when she saw Ye Jintian's appearance.

"I think I should be doing well, better than being with me, after all, I can't give her anything, even the most basic security." Ye Jintian smiled bitterly, patted Xin'er's head, and said.

"How's your cultivation going?" The two were silent for a while, and Ye Jintian broke the somewhat quiet atmosphere.

"Very good, I believe that it will not be long before I can break through the spirit and become a spirit master." Xin'er said this, her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Alas, you have such a good talent, and it's not worth it to be confined to this Lingyang City. I advise you to go to some good sects, and you are disobedient. When Ye Jintian heard this, he couldn't help but be happy for Xin'er.

In fact, Ye Jintian didn't know that Xin'er didn't worry about him before leaving?

"Brother, it's okay, I can also cultivate here, and I can also cultivate to a very strong level. After all, my spirit seal is a different attribute, and it is still the highest level of the spirit rank top ice attribute spirit seal. Hearing this, Xin'er shook her fist and said with a smile.

"Well, I know you're talented, and that's why you're staying here because you're delaying, you know?" Ye Jintian started the idea of persuading Xin'er to go to a more superior place again.

"Brother, I told you, I won't leave Lingyang City. I can also reach a very strong level of cultivation here, don't worry. Xin'er's eyes showed a determination that was more determined than Ye Jintian at this time.

Ye Jintian saw Xin'er's eyes, so he had to give up this plan.

"Ye Jintian, you are really a waste, not only abandoned by your family, not only can't keep the person you love, but even your only relative is also dragged down by you. What are you here for? Ye Jintian clenched his fists, lowered his head, and shouted to himself in his heart.

"What are you here for?"
