Just based on the surnames of the two thousand-year-old families on the hilts of the two ancient swords, it is somewhat arbitrary to guess that there are descendants of these families among the villagers in the Sword Beast Village.

But when Nie Lin deliberately told him this kind of speculation to Tu Zhengde, he always felt that Tu Zhengde was deliberately revealing this information to him.

No one knows better than him how great the impact of these identities would be once they were made public.

On this continent, there are not a few ancient forces that have been inherited for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, and maybe there will be some forces that have a close relationship with these ancient families, and with the identity of the descendants of these ancient families, they will definitely be able to surface those ancient forces in the hidden world.

After shaking his head and putting aside this strange thought, Nie Lin came to the west courtyard, and heard a sound of shouting, accompanied by the crisp sound of sword weapons, someone was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Nie Lin saw that Hu'er was like a tiger coming down the mountain, full of heat and might, with a brave domineering spirit, when he was competing with Liu Yichen for swordsmanship, he actually forced Liu Yichen to retreat again and again.

Of course, Hu'er is indeed stronger than Liu Yichen in terms of momentum, but in terms of kendo foundation and swordsmanship, he can see that Liu Yichen is letting Hu'er score three points.

After all, Hu'er is practicing the first-order sword technique of the Liu family, while Liu Yichen, the descendants of the Liu family, is practicing the second-order Xuan, so he has an advantage in the level of exercises.

However, in the process of their discussion, Nie Lin saw that Hu'er now has the strength of a ninth-level swordsman, and when he reached the bottleneck stage of breaking through the swordsman realm, he is almost on the same level as Liu Yichen, and it seems that Hu'er's strength is still steadily improving during this time.

"Brother, you're finally back......"

Suddenly, I saw Nie Lin standing quietly on the side and watching, at this time, Hu'er suddenly stopped fighting, rushed up with an arrow step, threw himself into Nie Lin's arms, hugged Nie Lin fiercely, and the excitement and excitement on his little face jumped up.

Just happy, his eyes were red, and tears flowed: "Brother, I knew that you would be fine, and you would definitely come back!"

Nie Lin touched Hu'er's head, felt his dependence on him, and said with a smile: "Don't you see that brother is standing in front of you well, when you encounter any predicament, you just need to believe in yourself, believe in brother, even if you bleed, you can't cry, don't take an example!"

Hu'er wiped away her tears, nodded firmly, and said, "Brother, I won't cry again in the future!"

At this time, Liu Yisong and Liu Yiyuan also ran over and said, "Brother Linzi, I heard that you have been trapped in a big hole for a long time, can you tell us how you got out of trouble?"

Young people are like this, full of curiosity about unknown things, but Liu Chengfeng came over at this time and said with a straight face: "Yisong, Yiyuan, don't be lazy when you go to practice!"

Saying that, Liu Chengfeng walked over, after Nie Lin let go of Hu'er, he raised his fist and saluted, Liu Chengfeng nodded, and said to Hu'er: "Hu'er, you are allowed to take half a day off, you and Linzi can go!"

After Hu'er nodded, he excitedly pulled Nie Lin back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the house, Hu'er was like a little master, taking out all the food and putting it on the table, as well as the rewards he had received for a period of time and other things, all of them were placed in front of Nie Lin, and said: "Brother, this is what I got recently, and there is a lot of money, I can't use it up, just pick what you like!"

Nie Lin glanced at it, and what he saw were some things used by swordsmen in the middle and late stages, as well as some middle-level sword pills, as well as low-level sword fetuses and other things, he knew that Hu'er had specially left them for him, but he shook his head and said: "Hu'er, you don't have to keep these things, you can use them directly when you need them, and if you don't need them, give them to others or sell them, brother doesn't need these things now, don't always think about keeping them for your brother, this time my brother brought you some other good things!"

As he spoke, Nie Lin took out a bottle from his pocket, as well as a small package, and said, "This bottle is full of high-grade sword elixir, you keep it, this package is the sword fetus that my brother specially collected for you when he came back this time!"

When Hu'er saw this, he was very excited, so he opened the package, and saw that there were several sword fetuses inside, he picked up one of the mercury and said, "Brother, what kind of sword fetus is this?"

Nie Lin saw that Hu'er was holding the Sword Wolf King's one, so he asked first, "Hu'er, what stage have you reached now in your Qi Gathering Cultivation, and have you completed the Zhou Tian Cycle?"

Hu'er put down the sword fetus and said seriously: "Last time when I was recuperating from my injuries, I was already able to guide my true qi to the Qi Sea Dantian, and now I will insist on cultivating for a while every day, let them run in their bodies for a week, and then practice the sword mastery!"

"Well, that's very good, your foundation is relatively solid, the next step is to teach you the cultivation method of the second stage of gathering qi and transforming essence, and you will also insist on cultivating every day in the future, and you must not relax for a moment!" Nie Lin said.

"Brother, this is our family's inherited exercise, of course I have to take it as the primary cultivation, the others are secondary, don't worry, I will not let you down!" Hu'er said.

Hearing this, Nie Lin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Hu'er was only thirteen years old, and he had the concept of a family, obviously treating him as a parent, thinking that the exercises he taught were family exercises, so he would put them in the first place, which also showed that in Hu'er's bones, the Liu family had not yet been fully accepted and integrated.

However, Nie Lin didn't plan to remind Hu'er of this, he wanted Hu'er to practice the Liu family's exercises, and he just asked Hu'er to lay a good foundation for the future.

If it weren't for the fact that the exercises in the middle and late stages of the "Heavenly Tablet Sword Diagram" were not suitable for Hu'er's cultivation, he would have wanted to teach the exercises of the Heavenly Tablet Sword Diagram to Hu'er, but now he could only let Hu'er lay a solid foundation of 'Essence and Qi True', and then he would find a way to help Hu'er find a more suitable cultivation method.

Now that Hu'er had laid a solid foundation for the first stage of essence qi, Nie Lin spent more than an hour explaining and demonstrating the cultivation method of the second stage of 'condensing qi and transforming essence' to Hu'er.

Hu'er studied very seriously, Nie Lin let him try, Hu'er's enlightenment and talent are indeed amazing, and he can quickly master it, and can transform the true qi in his body into essence.

After cultivating once, Hu'er said, "Brother, after practicing once, I feel so hungry, what's going on?"

Nie Lin said: "Don't worry, the initial cultivation is like this, this is a normal phenomenon, after the cultivation in the future, if you are hungry, eat more, after the practice and rest, you will feel the difference the next day, as long as you continue to practice, brother is going to the capital to participate in the sword boy competition this time, it is estimated that you will come back in three or four months, and it is estimated that your initial cultivation will be able to transition smoothly, and the demand for food will be much smaller!"

"Brother, are you going to the capital?" Hu'er was a little reluctant, but said again: "Then I'll practice at home, and when you come back, my brother is the most powerful, and I will definitely be able to get the first place!"

Nie Lin nodded, picked up the wolf king sword fetus again, and said: "This is the wolf king's sword fetus, you now enter the cultivation of the stage of condensing qi and refining essence, you can incorporate the essence of this wolf king sword fetus into your body to continue to consolidate and strengthen the foundation, remember, don't transform too much into sword breath, just let the essence of this sword fetus form essence, nourish your body and meridians as the main purpose!"

"I made a note of it!" Hu'er nodded.

Nie Lin said: "This wolf king sword fetus is a bit special, it's not suitable to use it now, wait until you master the cultivation method of the second stage, and then absorb this sword fetus, it's best not to let outsiders see your sword fetus, it's best to use it as soon as possible, otherwise this sword fetus will cause trouble, as for the other sword fetuses I brought you, you can use them whenever you want!"

At this time, Hu'er walked into the house again, took out two sword hilts from a private place and handed them to Nie Lin's hands, and said: "Brother, this is the sword hilt that Da Xiong and Lai Xiong didn't take away when they left the village, after he buried it at home, it was dug up by others, but fortunately I asked for it back......

Nie Lin didn't listen to Hu'er's words, and when he held the two sword hilts, he suddenly thought of the grooves left on the wall of the cave in the hidden cave, which actually matched the sword hilts completely.
