Chapter 2: Falling from the Altar
The sun flies, and in the blink of an eye, nine years have passed in a flash!
Fifteen-year-old Lou Yun sat cross-legged in the practice room, his lower abdomen lit up with a warm white light, after a while, the light disappeared, Lou Yun opened his eyes, and let out a sigh that was very incommensurate with his age, although his handsome little face seemed calm, but there was a trace of anxiety that could not be concealed!
Nine years ago, without any guidance, he independently cultivated the spiritual power of the soldier to the tenth order, so he was regarded as an unborn genius of the Lou family, and he was even more highly regarded by his grandfather Lou Runshui and the entire Lou family!
However, when Lou Runshui officially began to let Lou Yun cultivate, there was an extremely strange situation on this genius's body, he had fallen into a state of stagnation in cultivation at all, not only did he not condense the spirit soldiers before the age of ten that Lou Runshui expected, but even now he is fifteen years old, but he still has not condensed the spirit soldiers!
As a result, more and more people have doubts about his genius, and they have gradually lost confidence in him!
No matter when a person's soldier spiritual power reaches the tenth order, if he can't condense the spirit soldier, then he won't have any bright future, and he will even be considered a waste, after all, the most important criterion for judging a person's strength on the soldier spirit star is the spirit soldier!
Although there are no spirit soldiers, there are many people who rely on their bare hands or rely on artificially refined mortal soldiers to cultivate, and there have been strong people among them, but this kind of strong people are only relative, and they will never be able to reach the height that a spirit soldier with a spirit soldier can cultivate!
condensed into a spirit soldier, for the people on the Soldier Spirit Star, they have the name of the spirit soldier, and they can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of cultivators!
In another year, if Lou Yun still can't condense the spirit soldiers at the age of sixteen, then his future will become extremely bleak.
At the age of six, Lou Yun was not very sensible, so he didn't know the importance of spirit soldiers, but now, after nine years of cultivation, he knew very well what it meant to him without spirit soldiers, so he himself began to be anxious, but it was useless for him to be in a hurry, because whenever he absorbed enough spiritual energy, integrated it into the dantian, and wanted to work hard to condense spiritual soldiers, these spiritual qi would always dissipate in the end.
He tried I don't know how many times, but none of them succeeded!
Today he made more than ten attempts in a row, but the result was still the same, and after sitting helplessly for a while, Lou Yun stood up, pushed open the door of the practice room, and walked outside.
As he appeared, several eyes immediately shot at him, and at the same time, all kinds of discussions rang out one after another.
"Haha, look at his appearance, it didn't work out again!"
"Well, at the age of six, I cultivated to the spiritual power of a tenth-order soldier, but now that I am fifteen years old, I can't even condense a spiritual soldier!"
"I see, this genius of our Lou family will become a waste in a while!"
"It won't be long before he's a piece of waste now!"
Although Lou Yun was unable to condense the spirit soldiers, his innate ability to have six senses (shape, sound, color, taste, touch, and spiritual sense) far exceeded that of his peers, so all the words spoken by these people clearly reached his ears.
However, in the past nine years, he has heard too many words, he has been talented since he was a child, coupled with the early death of his mother, he has cultivated his precocious character, and he has already seen through the warmth and coldness of people, so he has long been used to it, so he can only pretend not to hear it, turn around and walk briskly to the backyard.
After walking a distance of about ten meters, he heard a crisp voice behind him: "Lou Yun, wait!" ”
Hearing this, Lou Yun stopped, a smile appeared on his face, and turned around again.
The Lou family is a big family, the main branch, the side branch, there are as many as four or five hundred people together, and there are many children, and because of Lou Yun's genius name, at the beginning, almost all the children, regardless of size, will come to work hard to tie him up, and want to have a good relationship with him, but with the inability to condense the spirit soldiers, more and more children began to gradually alienate him, and now, it has caused him to be regarded as an undesirable object by most people in the entire family.
But of course, there are also a few people who really regard Lou Yun as a relative, and Lou Qian, who is shouting at him now, is one of them!
Lou Qian is the daughter of Lou Yun's second uncle, she is one year older than Lou Yun, sixteen this year, don't look beautiful, but her personality is like a tomboy, she is decisive and capable, especially with a ruthless spirit, most of the children, even older than her, are afraid of her three points, she is particularly protective of Lou Yun, so as long as she is on the occasion, no one dares to bully Lou Yun.
Because of this, Lou Yun also accepted Lou Qian's sister in his heart, and said with a smile: "Sister, what's the matter?" ”
Lou Qian obviously ran all the way, and there were two faint blushes on her pretty little face, which made her look even more charming, and said angrily: "What are you doing so fast, causing me to chase this time, I'm tired to death, Uncle asked me to call you to see him!" ”
The uncle in Lou Qian's mouth is Lou Yun's father, Lou Tianming, and as early as six years ago, Lou Runshui passed on the position of the head of the family to him because he wanted to retreat and cultivate.
Although the position of the head of the Lou family is not hereditary, it can only be held by the strongest person among the main branches.
"Oh!" Lou Yun nodded and looked Lou Qian up and down for a while, then smiled slightly: "Sister, congratulations, your spirit soldier has been promoted to one star, I believe it won't be long before you can condense two stars!" ”
Lou Yun's six senses are extremely strong, so he can detect the changes in Lou Qian's spirit soldiers through his spiritual sense, of course, at present, he is only able to detect the changes in the primary spirit soldiers, and if he goes up, he can't detect them.
A trace of pride appeared on Lou Qian's face, but her hand unceremoniously poked Lou Yun's head and said, "As long as you feel sensitive, okay, you go to see the uncle!" Don't stay alone in the house to cultivate, go to me if you have nothing to do, I'll take you out to have fun and relax! ”
Lou Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" ”
Lou Yun turned around and walked to his father's room, with a hint of apprehension in his heart.
In the past few years, although most of the Lou family have been disappointed in Lou Yun, Lou Tianming has always supported his son, not only did not reduce his concern for Lou Yun, but pampered him even more, and was looking for a solution to Lou Yun's inability to gather spirit soldiers all the time.
But it is precisely because of this that the pressure in Lou Yun's heart is also greater, he can ignore the opinions of the clan and other people, but he can't pretend to be invisible to his father's expectations, especially his mother died of illness not long after giving birth to him, Lou Tianming is father and mother pulled him big, so every time he looked at his father's two temples and early hair, the burden in Lou Yun's heart increased by a point.
When I came to Lou Tianming's room, the door was open, and Lou Tianming's voice came out: "It's Yun'er, come in!" ”
Lou Yun walked in and saw his father sitting behind the desk, and there were all kinds of books spread out everywhere on the table.
Compared with six years ago, Lou Tianming obviously has a little more vicissitudes and majesty, but in front of his son, he is still a loving father, especially when everyone thinks that Lou Yun has become a waste, his love for Lou Yun has increased instead of decreasing.
"Come, Yun'er, have you been feeling lately?"
A wry smile appeared on Lou Yun's face, and he shook his head and said, "No! ”
Lou Tianming stood up, walked in front of Lou Yun, stretched out his hand with a smile, stroked Lou Yun's head as he did when he was a child, and said, "Don't worry, take your time, you are only fifteen years old, don't you have a year to go!" ”
If a person on the Soldier Spirit Star is unable to condense a spirit soldier in his body after the age of sixteen, then even if this person is not an ordinary person, he will not have any great potential!
One year!
Lou Yun sighed heavily in his heart, he had spent nine years, but he still couldn't condense the spirit soldiers, so if there was another year, would he be able to condense the spirit soldiers? To be honest, Lou Yun has no confidence in his heart at all!
Lou Tianming naturally knew his son's thoughts, and patted Lou Yun's head with his hand again: "Okay, don't think about it, I asked you to come over today because I have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
Lou Tianming pondered for a moment before saying: "There will be some guests in our Lou family tonight, after dinner, you stay in the room, no matter what happens, what movement you hear, don't come out, in addition, I will let people guard your door." ”
Lou Yun couldn't help blinking, obviously a little incomprehensible about what his father said, just wanted to ask, but Lou Tianming had already waved his hand and said: "Yun'er, you are still young now, there are some things that you can't let you know, you go back!" ”
Although Lou Yun knew that his father loved him very much, he also knew that what his father said was absolutely unchangeable, and it was impossible for him to ask anything famous, so although he was unwilling, he could only nod and retreat.
But just as Lou Yun walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly heard his father's heavy sigh from the study: "Yun'er, originally grandpa was expecting you to be the hope of my Lou family to turn defeat into victory, but now...... Alas! ”
On the way back to his room, Lou Yun has been pondering his father's words and deeds today, over the years, the Lou family has often had guests come to the door, but there has never been a time when his father will not allow him to leave the room, and what does it mean to expect himself to be the key to the Lou family's victory?
Lou Yun originally wanted to go to Lou Qian to ask for clarification, but after looking around, he couldn't find Lou Qian, so he had to give up, and as for the other people in the family, Lou Yun didn't bother to ask.
So he returned to the practice room, sat down cross-legged, and soon entered a state of concentration, and the white light in the dantian also lit up, but at the same time, in his chest, a colorful light suddenly lit up, and the light flashed away, and Lou Yun didn't notice it!
