Hearing that people from other two families would come to Songjiazhuang, Lu Cheng suddenly became interested. He has never left Songjiazhuang, and he is very yearning for the outside world. Young people are always curious about new things.

The three major families of Datong County will send the most outstanding disciples to meet each other every year, last year was in Yejiabao, the year before last was in the county seat of the Li family, and this year it was set in Songjiazhuang.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lu Cheng. After all, he was just a handyman, and he was chopping wood outside every day, so he had no chance to follow the people of Yejiabao and the Li family. But there are exceptions to everything, Lu Cheng can come back with a wild boar, what else can't happen.

"Yejiabao and the Li family don't have any talents, and this year we are still the winners of Songjiazhuang. Zhao Siyan said disdainfully.

The previous competition of the disciples of the family was very simple, because before the fourth layer of internal strength, everyone did not practice martial arts, and they generally conducted literary competitions. Only the elders of the other party need to test the extent of their internal strength, but as Song Kaixuan enters the fourth layer of internal strength, the competition between the families will enter the martial arts competition.

But until last year, the other two families have not yet had disciples of the fourth layer of internal strength. In other words, Song Kaixuan has no opponent at all. In the competition of the past two years, Song Kaixuan naturally took the top spot. This year's competition between the Li family and Ye Jiabao was just a humiliation.

"Maybe Ye Jiabao and the Li family may not send someone over? Ye Tianlong of Ye Jiabao is only the peak of the third layer of internal strength, and the same is true of Li Yuncong of the Li family. If they can't break through the four layers of internal strength, they will only bring humiliation on themselves. Xie Naxin said that in order to pursue the cultivation of internal strength, the disciples of the family are strictly forbidden to cultivate martial arts before the fourth layer of internal strength. Especially outstanding disciples like Ye Tianlong and Li Yuncong are even more focused on the cultivation of internal strength.

"I don't dare to say whether the Li family will come, but Ye Jiabao will definitely send someone. Last year, Ye Tianlong stayed at the peak of the third layer of internal strength for three years, and if he couldn't break through, he wouldn't be worthy of being Ye Jiabao's person. Lu Zhong said slowly. Of course, even if it is a child of a family, the peak of internal strength in three years may not be able to break through in three years. But the resources of the family are not comparable to ordinary people, if Ye Tianlong takes the elixir, or the inner pill, it is not impossible to enter the fourth layer.

"Father, how long does it take for ordinary people to reach the peak of the third layer of internal strength to the fourth layer?" asked Lu Cheng.

Ye Tianlong is the most outstanding third-generation disciple of Ye Jiabao, but he has stayed at the peak of the third layer for three years, and he may not be able to break through this year. It seems that he is also the third layer of internal strength, although he has just reached it today, he also wants to become the fourth layer of internal strength.

Lu Cheng had already made up his mind that if he reached the fourth layer of internal strength, he would immediately find an opportunity to sneak into the inner courtyard. The iron box under the threshold of the inner courtyard hall has always made him curious. The last time he went, there was only the second layer of internal strength, and although the induction force was two zhang, it was only one zhang below the ground. Now he has a sensing distance of four zhang, even if he goes deep into the ground, there is a distance of two zhang, and he can "see at a glance" what is hidden in that iron box.

Hearing Lu Cheng's question, Lu Zhong and the three of them were quiet all of a sudden, and the three of them looked at each other with a very strange look on their faces. In the end, Lu Zhong smiled bitterly and glanced at Xie Naxin and Zhao Siyan.

If someone else were asking this question in front of them, they would definitely think it was cynicism. They themselves are people in the third layer of internal strength, they have been decades, and they have not broken through the fourth layer of internal strength, how long do you say it will take to break through?

"Cheng'er, our three brothers all reached the third layer of internal strength before the age of thirty, but now that thirty years have passed, they are still only at the peak of the third layer. The third to fourth layers of internal strength is a hurdle, and some people can't cross it in a lifetime. Even the most outstanding disciples of these families, with the help of the pill, it would be impossible without three or five years. Zhao Siyan said with a sigh.

Lu Cheng's question made him also feel a sense of self-pity, yes, it has been almost thirty years since they entered the third layer of internal strength, but it has been stagnant. In the previous ten years, they could still say that they had a clear conscience, but since the age of forty, especially after Lu Cheng arrived, they didn't seem to have made cultivation their top priority.

Lu Cheng was silent, he was very worried, he had reached the peak of the third layer of internal strength, although the journey was very smooth, but the peak of the third layer was an extremely difficult barrier, he wouldn't have to wait until he was sixty years old to improve, right? No, he had to cultivate more diligently, as long as he put in a hundred times the effort of others, he didn't believe that he couldn't reach the fourth layer of internal strength!

Early the next morning, Lu Cheng didn't go to Baoqing Mansion to buy meat to eat, after all, there were more than 100 catties of meat at home, which was enough for them to eat for a month or two. Wild boar meat is tough and rough, and it doesn't taste as good as domestic pork. However, it is better than hare meat. The most important thing is that wild boar meat does not cost money, and you can eat it however you want.

Lu brought himself a few catties of cooked wild boar, and at the same time, he also brought a piece of raw boar to Song Ping. He was not like Liang Hao, who asked him to send something, and even gave two boxes of nodding. If it's just an ordinary relationship, it's enough to send two boxes of snacks, but Liang Hao wants to be exempted from labor, and it's not enough to rely on two boxes of nodding.

"Deacon Song, I picked up a wild boar on the mountain last night, please try it too. Although Lu Cheng killed an adult male wild boar, he didn't want others to know. It is better to send wild boars to the door on their own initiative, as was said yesterday.

"Lu Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, you weren't injured, right?" Song Ping took the ten-pound wild boar meat with satisfaction. I have already heard that Lu Cheng's luck is too good. But this can make him believe that if Lu Cheng killed an adult wild boar alone, he would not believe it.

"It's fine. Is Liang Hao still here today?" Lu Cheng asked, he didn't see Liang Hao today.

"He didn't come, the second master spoke, and the guards should be on guard for the past few days. Lu Cheng, during this time, you can chop a load of firewood every day and come back. Song Ping said that although Liang Hao was a guard, he didn't know how to be a man at all. If it weren't for the second master's words, he would definitely torture Liang Hao.

Now that Song Ping has received Lu Cheng's benefits, coupled with the fact that the firewood in the firewood house is piled up, even if Lu Cheng does not cut firewood for a year and a half, the miscellaneous courtyard does not have to worry about the lack of firewood.

Song Ping was worried that Lu Cheng would be lost, but he didn't expect Lu Cheng to feel very relieved when he heard that Liang Hao was not coming. No matter how much wood Liang Hao chopped, he had no effect. On the contrary, once he is not careful, Liang Hao will notice something, but he will expose his secret.

ps: A new day has begun, and you have to talk about it again, although everyone finds it annoying, but there is no way. The better the score of the book, the better the mood of the author, the better the mood, and the better the things written. It's a virtuous cycle, and the starting point may be in one click, one collection, and one referral vote.
