A few white clouds floated quietly in the sky, and several turquoise peaks loomed among the clouds. In the woods by the Kaijiang River, a young man in sackcloth was cultivating hard, and he kept kicking and hitting the big tree in front of him, which made the tree tremble, and the sawdust flew sideways, making a dull thumping sound.

If there is a master of martial arts cultivation here, he will definitely be surprised, because this young man's realm is too terrifying. He had cultivated to the realm of 'lifting lightly as if he were heavy', and his gestures were light and fluttering, as if he did not have the slightest strength, but when he landed on the tree, it was like beating a drum.

This young man's name is Lu Chen, he is seventeen years old this year, and he is the collateral bloodline of Li Xingcheng's Lu family, ranking thirteenth among his peers.

Lixing City is located in the southwest of Tianxuan Continent, located in the vast mountains, this place is humid all year round, humid and hot, is a paradise for all kinds of poisonous insects, in addition, because the traffic is extremely inconvenient, Lixing City is also known as the city of sin.

It is inhabited by criminals who have committed lawsuits in other regions and have been assigned here or the descendants of their families, the only rule here is that there are no rules, as long as your fist is big enough, you can get the same treatment as a lord. Therefore, Lixing City is also a place where evil demons and crooked morals gather in the southwest region, and dragons and snakes are mixed.

And the Lu family is one of the three major families in Lixing City, and the patriarch Lu Xun is a well-known big devil in the southwest region, ruthless, and no one dares to provoke him.

Lu Chen was originally a genius of Tianzhong, he began to cultivate the [Mangniu Jue] at the age of seven, and he cultivated his internal strength in only half an hour, and in the following two years, his cultivation quickly reached the fourth grade of the day after tomorrow, which was terrifyingly fast.

However, the Demon Dao family is fiercely competitive, the most ruthless, Lu Chen's parents died early, so he is sensible early, he has no backing, if he shows his extraordinary martial arts talent, he will definitely not end well, so he chose to hide!

Lu Chen knew the truth very well, so he deliberately pretended to be a person with dull qualifications, and only showed the cultivation of the innate first grade, although he was ridiculed and insulted, but his life was not in danger.

"The pinnacle of the innate eight grades, now I can finally impact the congenital nine grades, once I succeed, I can go to the ancestral shrine to awaken the martial soul and achieve the soul warrior, when the time comes, those who laugh at me and insult me all want you to look good!"

Suddenly, Lu Chen took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and turned his heart to the sky, and a small wind suddenly appeared from above his head, spinning three inches above his head.

The small wind whirlwind spun slowly but firmly, and as time slowly passed, its rotation speed slowly increased, and finally, it turned into a small tornado, enveloping Lu Chen's entire body in it.

The surrounding energy was violently pulled by the tornado and forcibly stuffed into Lu Chen's body, and Lu Chen's breath was gradually getting stronger.

An hour later, the tornado slowly shrunk and finally turned into an oval-shaped transparent cover, with land dust as the center, slowly turning.

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, the essence of light flashed, he stood up, and walked forward a few steps at random, only to see that the big tree in front of him seemed to be attacked invisibly, and the tree body broke a big hole, and Lu Chen passed through the tree without the slightest hindrance.

Gather your spirits!

It is also one of the thresholds to become a revenant.

The martial arts in the secular world are divided into two realms, acquired and congenital, each realm is divided into nine grades from low to high, and cultivation to the innate peak is already the peak that mortals can achieve, but for the soul warrior, this is just the beginning, the world of the soul warrior is more profound and larger.

Lu Chen knew very well in his heart that the Lu family was a family of demons and souls, and only by becoming a soulmartial artist could he attract the attention of the family's higher-ups, and after becoming a soulmartial artist, he would also gain great power and multiply his status.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, and he walked towards the Lu family.

In a remote courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Chen had just come back, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl greeted her, this girl was wearing a water-green Luo skirt, looking at its color, it was very old, and there were a few patches on it, but it was washed cleanly, revealing a faint floral fragrance.

The girl's name is Su Yu, she is Lu Chen's maid, she was brought back from outside by Lu Chen's father when she was a child, and she has been responsible for taking care of Lu Chen since she was a child.

"Young Master, you're back!" Su Yu smiled and saluted Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's eyes flashed, he grabbed Su Yu's little hand, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, thank you!"

Su Yu's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Chen, so he lowered his head and said, "This is what Xiaoyu should do." ”

The voice was as small as a mosquito's chirping, if it weren't for Lu Chen's just breaking through to become an innate peak, he really couldn't hear what Xiaoyu was saying.

Over the years, Lu Chen's martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, although it is his talent, but it also has the credit of Su Yu, it is precisely because Su Yu has handled all the mundane things properly that Lu Chen can practice martial arts with peace of mind.

Lu Chen grabbed Su Yu's little hand with both hands, the tip of his nose was still wrapped with a faint fragrance of flowers, he looked at Su Yu fixedly, and said softly and confidently: "Xiaoyu, from today onwards, we can no longer live the days of frugality, coarse tea and light meals......"

Touch!

At this moment, the small door of Lu Chen's courtyard suddenly turned into sawdust, and at the same time, a cold voice with a slight mockery sounded outside the small courtyard.

"Thirteenth brother, you waste, have you received this month's monthly salary, today there is a new Oiran in Xinghualou, brother, I am still waiting for your money to go to Lehehe!"

Lu Chen turned his head to look, his face couldn't help but sink, only to see a young man in a golden brocade robe surrounded by five or six minions, and walked in step by step, this young man's name is Lu Peng, nineteen years old this year, ranked sixth among the children of the same generation, is the descendant of the Lu family, and his martial arts talent is average, but under his Laozi's continuous resource offensive, he finally broke through to the innate three grades at the beginning of the year.

Lu Peng's Lao Tzu is called Lu Wolf, he holds great power, he is one of the high-level leaders of the Lu family, responsible for managing the rewards and punishments of the entire Lu family, although Lu Peng is not a weapon, but Lu Wolf only has one son for him, and the treasure is very good, so Lu Peng relies on the power of his Lao Tzu, and is overbearing in the Lu family and even Lixing City, and does all kinds of evil.

The children of the Lu family, regardless of their concubines, have ten taels of silver every month since the martial arts reached the acquired first grade, Lu Chen has pretended to be stupid over the years, and the ten taels of the monthly salary were snatched away by Lu Peng as much as nine taels, and this is still Lu Peng's interest in the next month's monthly salary, so he left one tael.

If you want to practice martial arts with peace of mind, you must ensure adequate nutrition, although one or two silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live a rich life for a month, but it can't guarantee that people who practice martial arts will eat big fish and meat. Lu Chen was forced to be helpless, and even the jade pendant left to him by his father back then, so he persevered, until today's innate peak, thinking of this, he suddenly had an anger in his heart, it turned out that unconsciously, he had been bullied and squeezed by Lu Peng for so long?

But now that he is already at the peak of his congenital cultivation, becoming a soul martial artist is almost an ironclad thing, as long as he becomes a soul martial artist, his status in the Lu family can be said to be one step to the sky, where would he care about Lu Peng's revenge? You know, every soul martial artist is an incomparably precious wealth, not to mention that Lu Chen awakened his martial soul at the age of seventeen to become a soul martial artist, when the time comes, even if Lu Wolf wants to find trouble with Lu Chen, he must first ask the opinions of other high-level leaders of the Lu family.

In terms of age alone, if you can cultivate to the innate realm at the age of seventeen, your qualifications can only be counted as ordinary, and those who can cultivate to the three innate grades can be regarded as excellent. Those who can reach the innate five qualities can be called geniuses. Regardless of whether Lu Chen can become a soul martial artist or not, the fact that he cultivated to the innate peak at the age of seventeen alone is enough to show his shocking martial arts talent.

"It turned out to be the sixth brother!" Lu Chen's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "The sixth brother has 'borrowed' a lot of silver from me in the past few years, I don't know when I will return it?"

Lu Peng's face froze, he glanced at Lu Chen incredulously, and suddenly laughed: "Thirteenth brother, you remember wrong! What is your identity? What is my identity? I will borrow money from you? Those silver are obviously your 'begging' for me to protect your expenses, without my protection, can you live so well in the Lu family?" Lu Peng emphasized the word 'prayer'.

"So...... Are you going to pay it back?" Lu Chen's voice was cold, and a cold light twitched in his eyes.

Lu Peng was so frightened by Lu Chen's gaze that he involuntarily took a few steps back, then suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Lu Chen's nose and screamed angrily: "Okay, you waste, you dare to threaten me? It seems that you don't even want this yard, right? Lu Li, you go and throw this waste out and help him move!"

An old slave in a gray robe behind Lu Peng should claim to be, walked out from behind Lu Peng, looked at Lu Chen, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Thirteenth master, did you move it yourself or did the old slave throw you out?"

This gray-robed old slave is Lu Wolf's clothed minion, he has been following Lu Wolf for more than two decades, and his martial arts cultivation has already broken through to the innate peak, but he was already past thirty years old when he was promoted, so he failed to awaken the martial soul and become a soul warrior.

For the sake of Lu Peng's lone seedling, Lu Wolf deliberately asked Lu Li to follow him and protect him. Although Lu Peng's qualifications are not good, he is not stupid, he knows who can be messed with and who cannot be provoked, so with the name of Lu Wolf and Lu Li's force, he has lived quite comfortably in Lixing City over the years.

When Lu Chen heard Lu Li's words, he suddenly smiled: "Lu Li, although you are the head of the Reward and Punishment Palace, you are still a minion, and you dare to threaten me even if you are a minion?"

"What about threatening you? Lu Shisan, you don't know the rules of the Lu family, right? Only the young master who has the strength to support the mountain is called the young master, and the young master who does not have the strength to support the mountain...... That's rubbish!"
