Chapter 53: Provocation
Although the Lin family has a rich heritage, if a family wants to develop for a long time, it must concentrate financial resources, and the family industry can only be passed on to the descendants, otherwise the industry will become more and more dispersed.
Lin Ming's branch is a concubine, and after a few generations, it is impossible to get the industry, so he can only be responsible for the operation, Lin Ming has not had much contact with the children of the Lin family since he was a child, so he doesn't know these two brothers and sisters at all.
Lin Wudao: "A few days ago, I learned that the first place in this martial arts assessment is my Lin family's children, and several of our Lin family children were surprised, I really didn't expect it, and the most rare thing is that Lin Ming, you are still from a separate family, and you have achieved this result without any resource support, which really makes me very ashamed." ”
At this time, Lin Fengyuan also interjected: "This time, the news that you got the first place in the assessment has been transmitted back to the family, and even the head of the family is shocked, this is a great achievement, the head of the family has already met the parents of the clan brother, and the restaurant has also been given to the parents of the clan brother, saying that it is to thank him for the two old men for cultivating a talent for the Lin family, and when the clan brother goes back, I am afraid that the Lin family will have to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”
Listening to the words of Lin Wu's two brothers and sisters, Lin Ming was stunned, he didn't expect this series of things to happen, for the Lin family, Lin Ming didn't have much sense of belonging, and as for picking up the wind and washing the dust, he didn't have much interest.
However, Lin Ming knows that parents definitely want to get this glory, which parent doesn't want their children to return to their hometown?
And the parents have a strong traditional concept, and they have always hoped to glorify their ancestors and shade their descendants, and the honor of being the first in the assessment of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion is indeed worthy of the pride of the ancestors of the Lin family.
Realizing this, Lin Ming felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and it was naturally what his children hoped for to make his parents happy.
Lin Ming said: "I first came to Qixuanwu Mansion, I am not familiar with the place, I can meet two clan brothers, the clan sister feels very cordial, and I will be taken care of in the future." ”
"Haha, the clan brother is polite, if there is any difficulty in the future, just open your mouth, although my strength is limited, my family's resources in Tianyun City can still be called upon. ”
"Thank you then. ”
The two exchanged the transmission note imprints, and at this moment, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and a voice said, "The teaching elder is here." ”
Lin Ming looked up and saw an old man in a white robe holding a thick book slowly walking into the lecture hall, the old man's true yuan fluctuation was obviously weaker than Mu Yi and the others, probably in the condensation period.
In Qingsang City, martial artists in the condensation period are already quite rare, but when they enter the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, martial artists in the condensation period abound, and the teachers of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion that Lin Ming seems to have all been above the condensation stage.
The old man put the book in his hand on the desk and said slowly: "From today on, I am responsible for giving you lectures, including physical arts, swordsmanship, attack skills, cultivation skills, defense skills, escape skills, the foundation of true yuan and martial arts, etc., and now I will start teaching." ”
The old man's opening remarks were very concise, and then he began to talk about physical skills, the old man's basic knowledge is very rich, some originally very simple movements, he can summarize a lot of practical skills, such as how to dodge attacks when the old force is exhausted and the new force is not born, temporarily avoid the edge, such as how to forcibly twist the body when taking off in the air, such as how to counterattack when being pressed and beaten by the opponent.
These techniques are not exercises, but if they are used well, they will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the martial artist, which is equivalent to the difference between an experienced martial artist and a rookie in actual combat. Of course, it takes a lot of actual combat to really integrate these skills into battle. ...,
This course lasted for a full hour, and then the old man picked up his books and said, "Today's class is here, please stay and receive your True Yuan Stone for the new students who have passed the guò assessment this time." ”
"True Yuan Stone?" Lin Ming was slightly stunned, he had heard of this kind of thing, this kind of stone naturally contained True Yuan, which could be used to drive the magic circle.
At this time, Lin Wu said: "Clan brother, this True Yuan Stone is a good thing, absorbing the True Yuan in it can speed up cultivation, and moreover, the True Yuan in the True Yuan Stone is purer than the elixir, and it is much easier to refine." ”
"Yes, as the first place in the clan brother's assessment, there are ten True Yuan Stones that can be obtained. Lin Fengyuan also agreed, and there was obviously envy in his words.
"Oh, this true yuan stone is very precious?"
"Well, in fact, we also have mineral deposits of True Yuan Stones in the Heavenly Fortune Country, but they all have to be handed over to the Seven Xuan Valley, and there are actually a lot of True Yuan Stones in the Great Sect, but they are rarely handed down, so there are very few True Yuan Stones that can be bought in the Heavenly Fortune Country. ”
In this radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, it is not surprising that the imperial power has to be subordinated to the Qixuan Valley, and the strength is decided.
"Clan brother, go up and get it, in the future, you can set the ranking of the ranking stones, and you can get at least one every month. ”
Lin Ming came to the place where the True Yuan Stone was collected, and sure enough, he received ten True Yuan Stones, which looked like crystals with many impurities, and they were not transparent.
The weight of a True Yuan Stone was one or two, and after standard weighing and cutting, Lin Ming immersed his soul power in it, and sure enough, he felt the pure True Yuan inside.
After Lin Ming, Wang Yanfeng also received the True Yuan Stone, but the number was less than half, only five, and the ordinary disciples who arrived at the Hall of the Earth in the back were only two, and as for the Hall of Humans, there was only one. And after they received it this time, if they couldn't enter the Earth Hall in the future, they wouldn't have this treatment again.
Lin Wudao: "Brother clan, it's rare for us to meet, how about going for a drink together?"
Lin Ming hesitated slightly, and said apologetically: "I want to improve my strength as much as possible before the assessment of the ranking stone begins, as for the matter of drinking, I will invite my clan brothers and sisters another day." "It takes a lot of time to cultivate the inscription technique, coupled with the cultivation of martial arts and classes, Lin Ming can be said to be lacking in skills, and he spends his sleep time in pranayama.
"Haha, the clan brother is really diligent, no wonder there is such an achievement at this age, okay, then we will meet again another day. ”
Lin Ming said goodbye to the Lin Wu brothers and sisters, left the martial arts hall alone, and when he walked to the fork in the road, he found Wang Yanfeng standing with two men with raw faces, Wang Yanfeng frowned, obviously the relationship with the two was not very good.
"Yo! Isn't this the genius Wang Yanfeng of the Wang family? Oh, the first place in the Yuelu City Elite Competition, the swordsmanship of the "Nine Truths" is a great achievement. Hehe, I thought it was amazing, how could I lose to a kid who practiced twice? It's really a shame for our Yuelu City. A young man said in a strange manner, seeing that he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was practicing the triple peak cultivation, at this time, this person was holding a long sword in his arms, and his face was arrogant.
Wang Yanfeng's face suddenly sank, "Liu Mingxiang, you are a cheap son of the Liu family, you also have the face to shout in front of me! I have eaten so many rare and exotic medicines, but I have not entered the top ten in the assessment, even if a pig is raised by your Liu family, it is better than you!"
"Hey, you say I'm a pig, that's fine, so how about we compare? See if you can trample me under your feet. Liu Mingxiang said disdainfully, with a hint of a playful smile on his face.
Wang Yanfeng's voice froze, his fists clenched suddenly, the other party is the triple peak of body training, and he has been cultivating in the Seven Xuanwu Mansion for two years, he is really not sure about it.
However, Rao is like this, Wang Yanfeng doesn't want to retreat, he thinks with his toes and knows that if he doesn't fight today, this Liu Mingxiang will definitely spread the propaganda everywhere, saying that he is as timid as a mouse, and the "Nine Truths" is in vain, "Liu Mingxiang, you really don't know what your face is, your talent is not as good as mine, and you use age to press me?" Eighteen years old is fifteen years old to me at the age of fifteen, very good!"...,
"Joke! You were killed on the battlefield, do you have to find out whose age is older? Don't talk nonsense, do you dare to compare?"
"Why don't you dare!" Wang Yanfeng snorted coldly, although he knew that the other party was motivating himself, but because of his arrogant character, he still responded to the battle, he couldn't frustrate his sharpness and break the heart of martial arts.
"Okay, let's compare according to the rules of the Martial Mansion, since we want to compare, naturally we have to make a little bet, didn't you just get five True Yuan Stones? ”
Wager!
Wang Yanfeng gritted his teeth, he was not stupid, and immediately understood that Liu Mingxiang's deliberate provocation today was for these five True Yuan Stones!
It's premeditated!
However, even if he understands this, Wang Yanfeng will not flinch, five True Yuan Stones, even if he loses, he can afford to lose, not to mention, he may not lose!
"Bet on it!"
Lin Ming looked at the scene from afar, shook his head slightly, the other party obviously calculated Wang Yanfeng's character, but then again, the other party was provoked to the door, if Wang Yanfeng was really cowardly in this situation, then his loss would probably be greater, avoid not fighting, swallow his anger, this is a taboo in martial arts.
Cultivating martial arts is not only to practice the body, but also to cultivate the mind, and the cultivation of the mind is to do it casually, to live a happy life, if you forbear everywhere, your cultivation will be hindered.
This Wang Yanfeng, I'm afraid I'm going to lose, those two are both masters, the triple peak of body training, and they have been cultivating in the Seven Xuanwu Mansion for so long, and their combat power is probably much more than that of ordinary body training quadruple martial artists, and even Lin Ming is not the slightest bit sure about this kind of strength.
"Although this Liu Mingxiang is arrogant, he is indeed a master, and the young man next to him seems to be even more unfathomable, it is impossible for me to win against any of the two people, the Seven Xuanwu Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Lin Ming said to himself in his heart, this is also normal, which one of them who enters the Seven Xuanwu Mansion is not a genius, such a genius, he is older than them, and he enjoys so many resources in the Martial Mansion, and he has been cultivating for so long, if he can't beat the new students, it will really be a vain cultivation.
This matter has nothing to do with Lin Ming, he turned to leave, and just after taking a few steps, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Yo! Isn't this the first in this assessment? Lin Ming is! Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”
Although he said polite words, the provocative meaning in his voice was too obvious. Lin Ming frowned slightly, turned his head to look, but saw that it was the unfathomable young man who provoked Wang Yanfeng with Liu Mingxiang who spoke.
