Chapter 2: Geniuses of the past, where to plant today?
Two years later, one morning.
The white of the fish belly begins to decorate the blue sky at the beginning of the morning light, and the crystal clear dew drops and silver light shimmer dazzlingly on the earth.
The sun shone through the window on the face of a lying on the bed, and Ling Yun was awakened by the temperature coming from the golden veil on his face.
"Hiss~" sat up with his arms propped up, but there was a sharp pain on it, which made Ling Yun gasp.
"These bastards!" Ling Yun gritted his teeth as he looked at his scarred body, recalling the scene last night when Wang Hu and his gang beat him, as well as the words that he couldn't forget.
......
Ling Yun was originally inexplicably bored, so he took a walk on the street at will.
After that suicide attempt two years ago, Ling Yun is no longer the walking dead like he was at the beginning, although he has not been able to condense the Yuan Force Seed, he has always had a belief in his heart that as long as he is alive, he will not give up hope!
Suddenly, a yin and yang strange voice came from behind, and when he looked back, a young man in brocade came with a smile on the corner of his mouth, followed by a group of people who were also not very old, but who were like slaves. They all bowed slightly, looking at the brocade-clothed young man with a flattering expression.
Ling Yun's face changed slightly, these people were obviously not good. He looked around and found himself unaware of his unwitting walk into an alley that few people had passed.
And there are people before and after him at this time, but it is obvious that they are all with this brocade-clothed young man. Escape is impossible.
"Oh, by the way, aren't you going to duel my brother in four months' time? Now that you have time to hang out, you think you're ready to go. ”
Although the man was smiling and talking, he raised his head slightly when he spoke, his nostrils were towards Ling Yun, and he looked at him condescendingly.
Ling Yun said with a calm face, "Wang Hu, how am I, I don't need you to ask, right?"
"Yo! Ling Datiancai, what you said is not right, what do you mean that I don't need to ask? Our brothers have always admired you! Now I just happened to meet you to care for me. You say that, but it makes me very sad!"
Having said that, the young man named Wang Hu did not look sad in the slightest, but looked at Ling Yun with a mocking expression.
"Thank you, but I won't bother you with my business. With that, Ling Yun prepared to leave, but was blocked back by several other people, and their faces were full of mockery and ridicule.
"Wang Hu, don't deceive people too much!" Ling Yun stared at the brocade-clothed young man, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.
"Yo yo yo, what are you all doing? Genius Ling, don't be angry!"
"We don't mean anything else, it's just that our brothers' cultivation has been making slow progress recently, so we want to have a discussion with Ling Da Genius, presumably Ling Da Tian will not refuse this kind of thing, right?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun secretly said that it was not good, and it was estimated that it would inevitably be a bitter meal.
"Brothers, let's go! Ask Ling Datian for a few tricks. ”
As soon as the words fell, before Ling Yun could react, Wang Hu directly stepped forward and punched Ling Yun in the stomach, this punch was huge, Ling Yun fell directly to the ground, unable to speak in pain.
Next, these people ignored Ling Yun's struggle and resistance, and punched and kicked him.
"Hmph, a waste, you really take yourself seriously, you are just an ant in front of my Wang Hu, if I want to, I can let you die with just a finger. ”
Wang Hu pursed his lips and glanced at Ling Yun with a look of disgust and disgust. I don't know why, the more I look at him, the more unpleasant Wang Hu becomes.
He was already narrow-minded, when Ling Yun was in the Body Refining Realm, he left him far behind, maybe the gap was too big at that time, and Wang Hu couldn't give birth to resentment in his heart.
But now Ling Yun has become a waste, everyone abandons it, at this time Wang Hu's so-called self-esteem is troublesome, he can't accept that he was trampled under Ling Yun's feet, so he tried his best to find Ling Yun's trouble.
Suddenly, Wang Hu kicked Ling Yun to the ground, and before he could get up, Wang Hu stepped on his face.
"Kid, weren't you very powerful at the beginning? Come and beat me! The people of my Wang family are also something that you ants can provoke? You still want to defeat my brother in the big competition, and the light of rice grains dares to compete with Haoyue, it's really ridiculous!" Wang Hu had a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, Second Young Master, why are you talking so much to this waste? If he dares to provoke the majesty of the Wang family, just let the little ones help you teach him a lesson." ”
The few people next to him were all flattering, and at the same time, they also looked at Ling Yun with disdain.
Every move and word of these people, Ling Yun was in full view, and he couldn't resist at this time, but the blood in his body was already boiling.
His eyes were indifferent, staring at the ugly faces of Wang Hu and the others.
He endured, he knew that he was not Wang Hu's opponent now, he was the third order of the Yuan Condensation Realm, but he didn't even have the Yuan power.
It's just that this gaze made Wang Hu even more annoyed, and it also attracted another beating.
After a long time, under the indifference of a waning moon and sparse stars, Ling Yun dragged his scarred body and hobbled back to his residence, his bright eyes burning with anger.
......
"Hehe~ It's really a wall that everyone pushes"
"But Wang Hu, you bastard, wait for Lao Tzu! When I surpass you, I will definitely strip you naked and drag you through the streets! Let you also taste the taste of being humiliated!"
Walking out of the memory, Ling Yun scolded angrily.
Walking out of the hut, Ling Yun stretched his body, but the pain from time to time on his body still made him frown.
He came to a large willow tree not far from the hut and lay down against it. This large willow tree has lush foliage, and from a distance, it looks like a wonderful girl with long turquoise hair. The willow branches of the long green hair swayed back and forth in the breeze, and there was a faint fragrance.
Ling Yun likes to lean under this big willow tree when he has nothing to do, blowing the wind and basking in the sun, feeling that the whole person has become relaxed, and the depression in his heart has all been dissipated.
The golden sunlight shone on Ling Yun's face, adding a sense of vitality to him. Taking a deep breath, the faint fragrance of the breeze entered Ling Yun's nose along the airflow, and Ling Yun only felt as if the pain on his body had become lighter.
Now Ling Yun is fourteen years old, and his immature face is a little thin, but he looks quite comfortable, and he must be quite handsome when he grows up.
Ling Yun lived in Yunlan Town, and was originally dependent on his father, but because his father did not have Yuan Li cultivation, his life was very poor, causing Ling Yun to be weak and sick since he was a child.
When Ling Yun was ten years old, he suddenly had a high fever. His father had no money to buy medicine, so he went to Qingfeng Mountain to collect medicine for him, but he never returned.
Xiao Lingyun's body was already weak, and he was almost dying of death because he was entangled by illness and no one took care of him.
God is pitiful, Ling Yun actually survived.
But then he found out that his father was gone. Since then, Xiao Lingyun can only rely on himself to find lowly jobs to earn money and support himself.
However, this kind of life did not last long, and Ling Yun's hope appeared.
The continent where Lingyun is located is called the Dragon Blood Continent. In this place, Yuan Li is the only main tone.
And people can use the power of Yuan Li to perform a variety of attacks. Attracted by the force, the cultivator appeared.
In the continent, cultivators are divided into two types, one is the Yuan Person, which directly absorbs the Yuan Force and uses the Yuan Force to strengthen itself or release the Yuan Force to attack. The other is a magician, who can use his powerful telekinesis to control the condensation of the Yuan Force between the heavens and the earth around him to form a more powerful and diverse attack.
But as cultivators, magicians are much rarer than primordial ones. That's because the cultivation of magicians requires too much mental power from cultivators, and this kind of person is difficult to pick even a hundred miles.
Compared to magicians, the cultivation of the Yuan is much simpler. First of all, carry out high-intensity exercise, and at the same time feel the Yuan Force between heaven and earth, this stage is the refining realm. The body refining realm is divided into nine levels, and after refining the body at the ninth level, you can condense the Yuan Force Seed.
And once successful, you will become a powerful meta-master. Under normal circumstances, one out of every five people can successfully condense the Yuan Force.
As a result, more people choose to become meta-creators.
With the passage of time in the world, there are more and more Yuan Force cultivators, and today, Yuan Li has become closely related to people's lives.
On the Dragon Blood Continent, the age of ten is the best time for a person to cultivate in his life, and Ling Yun also began to refine his body at the age of ten. What everyone couldn't imagine was that Ling Yun, who was physically weak, actually entered the body refining realm very quickly, and reached the ninth order of the body refining realm in just one year.
Among their peers, most of the others were still only wandering in the third and fourth orders of body refining.
After refining the body, it is the condensation of the Yuan Force Seed. And once the seed is formed, then Ling Yun will be able to become a true element.
At that time, Ling Yun caused a sensation in the entire Yunlan Town with his amazing talent.
It seems that everything is so beautiful, Lingyun is the favorite of God in everyone's minds, the pride of heaven, and he will inevitably become an admirable powerhouse in the future.
But it wasn't until Ling Yun found out that he couldn't condense the Yuan Force Seed that everything changed.
Ling Yun went from being a sought-after genius to a waste that everyone hated and abandoned.
As soon as this fell, Ling Yun's fragile heart was almost broken.
From then on, Ling Yun became the walking dead. After enduring this kind of pain for a whole year, Ling Yun couldn't bear it anymore, so there was a scene where he committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
After that suicide attempt two years ago, Ling Yun is no longer the walking dead like he was at the beginning, although he has not been able to condense the Yuan Force Seed, he has always had a belief in his heart that as long as he is alive, he will not give up hope!
Continued to cultivate, followed by countless attempts to condense Yuan Force, countless failures, but Ling Yun did not give up once.
"Whew~ It shouldn't be a long time, right? I always feel as if I'm about to transform. Ling Yun picked up the pendant on his chest.
The pendant he had carried with him since birth, and now it was the only thing he could use to remember his father, except for the hut.
"Daddy, I know you've been watching me somewhere, and I won't let you down. ”
looked intently at the pendant in his hand, and it seemed that his father's loving smile appeared on it.
"What do you think?"
Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant voice like a silver bell came, Ling Yun raised his eyelids a little lazily, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of brown boots.
Looking up, I saw a young girl standing in front of Ling Yun. Wearing a turquoise knee-length tunic skirt, long black hair was softly draped over her shoulders, her fair skin was as smooth as mutton fat, her black eyes seemed to have water waves, and her pink thin lips under the high bridge of her nose were slightly upturned, revealing a pair of shallow dimples. The whole person is like a lovely and beautiful green elf, and that kind of beauty is indescribable.
"You're here! ”
After seeing the visitor, Ling Yun closed his eyes again, it seemed that he had a good relationship with the girl, he had no defense, but was even more relaxed.
The girl wanted to say something, but she accidentally saw the bruise on Ling Yun's arm and said angrily.
"Someone is bothering you again?"
Ling Yun opened his eyes, looked at the girl's slightly angry beautiful face, and smiled slightly.
"This kind of thing, I will solve it myself in the future. ”
"You...... Alright then!" the girl saw that although Ling Yun seemed to be saying something casually, the firm light in her eyes made her choose to believe Ling Yun.
The girl's name is Lin Xinyue, and now she is only fourteen years old, and she is the baby granddaughter of the head of the Lin family, and the Lin family is one of the three major families in Yunlan Town, and has a huge influence in Yunlan Town, with all kinds of businesses and stores all over Yunlan Town, which is almost equivalent to the business of one of the three people in Yunlan Town. Lin Xiaotian, the head of the Lin family, has even reached the level of the ninth order of the Yuan Condensation Realm, and his strength can be described as unfathomable.
The other two of the three overlords who are close to the Lin family in all aspects of strength are the Wang family and the Li family. Usually, there are disputes between the three major families, but because the three heads of the families are equally strong, they still maintain a balance.
However, this balance will not necessarily be maintained forever. If a junior who joins a certain family stands out among the three juniors far more than others, then the family to which this junior belongs may have more upper hand in the family feud in the next few decades.
Now it is the Li family that is slightly stronger, because the junior of the Li family, Li Jiangxiong, is strong, and it is said that he has surpassed the strongest of the juniors of the Wang and Lin families, and now it is said to be the realm of the late sixth order of the Yuan Ning Realm.
Lin Xinyue's talent was also excellent, and at the age of only fourteen, she had reached the late stage of the fourth order of the Yuan Condensation Realm. Yuan Li's cultivation is extremely difficult, and every step is very difficult.
Many juniors in the town tried their best, and at Lin Xinyue's age, they were only the second order of the Yuan Condensation Realm, and the most powerful one was the third order of the Yuan Condensation Realm.
"That's right, Lingyun. The girl also sat down against the tree, and the pair of big smart eyes glanced at the young man who was lying lazily next to her, and hesitated a little.
"If you have something, just say it! ”
"Four months later, on the day of the end of the Young Generation Competition, Li Jiangxiong will marry me. ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around them suddenly froze, and the breeze that had been blowing and the swaying wicker stopped moving.
Ling Yun opened his eyes, sat up, turned his head to look at the girl who was as cute as an elf, and was silent for a moment. And Lin Xinyue didn't speak, just lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to think.
Ling Yun admonished himself in his heart, "Four months, there are still four months, it's still early! I, Ling Yun, won't admit defeat so easily!"
Although Li Jiangxiong has a faint tendency to become the first junior in Yunlan Town, his style does not match the aura on his body.
Li Jiangxiong is two or three years older than the two of them, so he is powerful, but he has also done a lot of male prostitutes and female thieves behind his back, bullying men and women. It's just that because of the huge power of the Li family and the aura of various geniuses, those things have been covered.
chose to marry Lin Xinyue after the end of the young generation competition, because he felt that he could win the championship of the competition steadily, and wanted to marry her in a beautiful way.
Ling Yun and Lin Xinyue are childhood sweethearts, almost inseparable, but the two just regard each other as good friends. When she was a child, Lin Xinyue was simply Ling Yun's follower, but she was made angry by Ling Yun every time.
But all this has made the relationship between the two closer. During the lowest period of Lingyun, Lin Xinyue did not show any contempt and disdain for him, but took good care of him.
But Ling Yun's decadence made Lin Xinyue very disappointed and sad.
It just so happened that at that time, the Li family proposed to the Lin family, and the object was naturally Lin Xinyue, who was only eleven years old at the time.
Maybe it was because she wanted to stimulate Ling Yun and cheer him up! When she was still young, she actually agreed to this family affair of the Li family.
On the Dragon Blood Continent, it is normal to get married in her teens, so it is not surprising that the Li family will marry Lin Xinyue when she is fourteen years old.
But obviously, he is not a good destination for Lin Xinyue. With the relationship between Ling Yun and Lin Xinyue, he naturally would not watch his good friend marry such a person. Of course, there may be some other factors in this, but neither of them seems to have noticed it, or they don't want to admit it.
Now, Ling Yun is cheered up, but the marriage contract is still ...... Moreover, Ling Yun was still unable to cultivate at this time, Lin Xinyue regretted her recklessness at the beginning, but the matter had come to this point, and it could not be changed.
"Lingyun...... Or ......" After a while, Lin Xinyue opened her mouth to say something, but Ling Yun interrupted her and smiled.
"Hehe, if I defeat him and win the first place in Dabi, will that person still have the face to marry you?"
On the immature face, there was a reassuring smile.
Somehow, seeing this smiling face, Lin Xinyue felt that maybe ...... He can do it.
At this moment, extremely far away from the Dragon's Blood Continent, a golden beam of light flew across the starry sky and flew in the direction of the Dragon's Blood Continent. There was a faint point of light at the front of the beam, and in a flash, it crossed countless stars and disappeared without a trace......
