Great Xia Yuanzhou, Malan City.

In the night sky, the howling wind and the majestic heavy rain.

The rain ticked the bricks of every roof in the city, and swam into every street.

The water on the ground boiled, and it became a country of Ze, and the fog was boundless.

Li Yuan, who was walking under the eaves, was mostly wet by the rain with the lotus coat on his body, and the wind that was not to be outdone still blew his black robe and hunted.

At this moment, it is late at night, the lights of thousands of homes are extinguished, and the whole city seems to have nothing but wind and rain.

"Baicaoju, it's finally here."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan finally raised his head, revealing a pair of fiery eyes under the cloak, and muttered in his mouth.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of the door slamming down.

"Who? Something? ”

Inquiries were heard from inside the store.

"Shopkeeper, I want to sell a golden grass."

Li Yuan replied.

"You have money?"

"Yes, yes."

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of long knives colliding sounded in the alleyway on the side.

"It's not good, this breath is from the Shentu family."

Li Yuan frowned suddenly, turned around suddenly, and went straight to the street.

The speed was so fast that the whole person was like a bolt of lightning, breaking through the rain curtain and shuttling through.

"Hey! Li Yuan, did you run......

"Tomorrow is your Li family's annual cultivation test. I know that in order to keep the identity of the young patriarch, you will come to Baicaoju late at night to buy a thousand golden grass! ”

"Hand over your dragon bones, leaving them on your waste will only make these treasures dusty."

Voices of banter came from the alleyway.

Immediately afterwards, five or six people rushed out of the alley, holding long knives, all smiling.

Suddenly, Li Yuan felt a strong wind behind him, passing through the entire street, setting off a sonic boom, and the rain was broken up with a bang, hitting his vest directly.

"Qi Refining Realm Sixfold."

Li Yuan's heart sank, his face suddenly changed greatly, and in an instant, he thought of various ways to dodge, and then took an arrow step and swept behind a beast-shaped stone statue on the side of the street.

"Bang!"

The fierce wind hit the stone statue, and it exploded suddenly, and a strong wind of energy swept away, and Li Yuan was directly knocked into the eaves of the street.

"Smack! Smack! ”

Dozens of tiles flew up and then fell to the ground, shattering.

Grabbing the broken eaves with one arm, Li Yuan used the power to feed and threw his body onto the roof.

"Shen Tu Meng! You dare to attack me in the city. ”

Li Yuan turned his head, looked at several people led by black figures on the street, and shouted angrily.

"Not bad! I was able to guess that it was me. ”

The black-clothed man who was staring at Li Yuan sneered, and then forcefully ripped off the hat on his head and slammed it to the ground.

Shen Tu raised his head to the sky, closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, let the rain wash over him, and then said coldly: "The wind is strong enough tonight, the rain is heavy enough, take your treasure bones, no one will know that I did it." ”

"Boss, that kid ran away."

Hearing this, Shen Tu opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Li Yuan, who was wearing a lotus canopy on the roof, like an arrow off the string, with an unstoppable momentum, breaking through the rain curtain and heading straight to the east.

"Oh yes! Don't chase it yet! ”

Shen Tu slapped the black body beside him, and then, the soles of his feet stomped on the ground, shook the rain, swept straight up the roof, and caught up.

Several others also hurriedly followed.

At this moment, Li Yuan's figure was like a shadow, flashing on the roof, bursting out with a speed far beyond his own cultivation level, and there was some distance between him and Shen Tumeng, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

………

The wind and rain cease, and the night goes to sunrise.

Thousands of mountains and blue, cloudless.

The citizens of Malan City came out of their homes one after another, and the streets gradually became active.

"Hoo ......"

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, after several hours of cultivation, Li Yuan still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"I feel like I'm almost over seventy.

"Life is dissipating.

"The harder you cultivate, the weaker the vitality in your body becomes.

"It's been three years, it's falling every year, and this year it's down three times.

"Looks like it's going to be a joke for the whole clan again! Oh yes! ”

After half a ring, Li Yuanjing calmed down and sensed the vitality in his body, his handsome face suddenly increased a little anger, and a sharp scolding came out of his mouth.

"Shen Tumeng, this bastard, don't you know that the dragon bone on Lao Tzu's body is gone?

"Someday......

"Forget it......"

"Young Patriarch, the Great Elder invites you to go to the Test Square for the annual cultivation test!"

I was about to rest for a while, but an old woman's voice came from outside the room.

"Oh."

Answering casually with great reluctance, Li Yuan got out of bed, pulled out the room, and walked out.

He looked at an old woman dressed in blue clothes outside the room, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Let's go, Butler Qingxin." ”

"Alas, if the dragon bone on the young patriarch's body hadn't disappeared, I'm afraid he would have been a ninefold Qi refining realm powerhouse comparable to the patriarch by now. Maybe you can impact the Yuanli Realm, but it's a pity that ......"

Looking at the young man's handsome face, the old woman in Tsing Yi nodded gently, but her cloudy eyes showed a trace of regret, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

Li Yuan, the son of the head of the Li family, one of the three major families in Malan City, can be said to be an existence born with a golden key.

Because when he was born, a one-in-a-million dragon bone was born in his body.

As long as there are no accidents, it can be said that he is a natural Nirvana realm powerhouse.

But whoever is born with the dragon bone will surely step into the realm of Nirvana before the age of fifty.

Practicing Qi at the age of three, reaching the eightfold level of Qi refining at the age of fifteen, the absolute first day talent of Malan City is respected by 10,000 people.

Everyone thought that before he was eighteen years old, he would definitely be able to break through the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, successfully condense the Qi Pool, cultivate the Yuan Force, step into the Yuan Force Realm, and become the only Yuan Force Realm powerhouse in the family within a hundred years.

It's a pity that his path to heaven has just begun, and he fell from the altar.

Three years ago, Li Yuan's prestige reached its peak in the family, and it was very likely that he would become the only genius of the Nirvana Realm in the history of the Li family, and suddenly suffered the most tragic blow since he was born.

After twelve years of cultivation, he raised his cultivation to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but it became the peak of his cultivation.

In the next three years, the cultivation fell again and again.

At the age of sixteen, he fell to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm.

At the age of seventeen, he fell to the fifth level.

Now he has just turned eighteen years old, and has fallen directly to the double level.

No matter how hard he tried, his cultivation just couldn't improve by half an inch, but instead fell again and again.

Falling from the altar, let his name as a genius gradually be replaced by waste.

Those originally reverent gazes turned into disdain and ridicule.

Just a month ago, the dragon bone in his body that he was proud of had completely disappeared.

The keel is gone.

This meant that he was not much different from an ordinary cultivator.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't even be as good as ordinary people.

Why did the dragon bone disappear in ten thousand, Li Yuan was also puzzled.

This blow made Li Yuan begin to become decadent.

He dreamed countless times that he was back at the top.

Still the same confident genius with immeasurable potential.

When he woke up from the dream, the weak vitality in his body had to be woken up by reality, and maybe he never had a chance to get up again.

Today is the day of the family's annual test of cultivation, and all the clansmen are excited.

And he had to face an even more cruel result, that is, the result of this test, if there was no cultivation of the fourfold Qi Refining Realm, the identity of the young patriarch would also be taken away.

As a result of last year's test, he was still refining the Qi Realm Fivefold.

Now a year has passed, and it has fallen by three levels.

Li Yuan, who has always lived in seclusion, does not know his true cultivation.

It will be made public today, and there is a feeling of being sent to the execution ground.

Li Yuan followed the old woman in Tsing Yi through the courtyards and arrived at the cliff behind the family, where there was a test square the size of fifty or sixty zhang.

Near the edge of the cliff, there stood a ten-zhang high stone tablet, which was used to test cultivation.

It is said that a hundred years ago, a strong man in the family who successfully stepped into the Yuanli realm was established.

At this moment, there are thousands of figures clustered in the square, and their eyes are full of excitement and heat.

The difference in cultivation means that the resources obtained in the following year are different.

"Li Ming, Qi Refining Realm Fivefold!"

The test stele lit up with five light slots, and an old man in a green shirt below glanced at it, and then said loudly.

"Li Yuan, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"

At this time, the old man in green shirt saw Li Yuan, who was taken to the square by the old woman in green clothes, and shouted indifferently.

"Is this going to be a death sentence?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he muttered in his mouth.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, everyone in the square deliberately made a way for him, and there was a feeling of welcome in the lane.

Indeed, until the age of sixteen, he was admired by all people.

But in the past two years, those admiring eyes have turned into mockery.

Walking on this deliberately delegated road, he was like a mountain on his back.

The test stele at the end was like a mountain of ten thousand, exuding a majestic coercion, which made him a little out of breath.

Unconsciously, beads of sweat rolled down his handsome face.

Climb the stone staircase and place your palms on the stone monument.

"Buzz!"

It seemed to feel a roar, as if the heavens were judging, why his dragon bones would disappear.

"Li Yuan, Qi Refining Realm Double!"

I don't know how long it took, but an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Immediately afterward, there was an uproar around them, full of mockery.

Obviously, this result was not expected by everyone.

Eighteen years old, the Qi Refining Realm is double.

Isn't that just like waste?

Glancing up at the two lit light grooves on the huge stone tablet, the corners of his mouth were also a touch of self-deprecation.

Withdrawing the infused vitality, he took his palm away from the stone tablet, turned around, dragged his tired body, walked down the stone stairs, passed through the crowd, and rushed out of the test square.

"Double? The cultivation of our Li family's genius has fallen even worse than in the previous two years! ”

"Hey, it's not a joke that he may become the only genius of the Nirvana Realm in the history of the Li family?"

"That's it, the whole Malan City is watching the jokes of our Li family, this waste really has lost the family's face."

"What Malan City, it's the entire Yuanzhou, no, it's the entire Great Xia."

"Such a waste also serves as a young patriarch."

"It's not like there's a patriarch yet."

"There is still a young patriarch, this kind of waste should have been driven out of the family a long time ago."

"Don't worry, the Qi Refining Realm is double, and it has lost the qualification to succeed the patriarch."

"Alas, the genius who had the dragon bone in the past?"

"Turning a dragon bone on your body, you can only refine the Qi Realm at the age of eighteen, it's really a big joke."

"He is useless with these bones, so he should be taken from him and transplanted on us."

"Don't think about it, I heard that the dragon bone on his body is gone."

"What, how is that possible."

"How is it impossible, otherwise, how can he refine the dual cultivation of the Qi Realm."

"That is, maybe you have done something to offend the heavens and make the heavens angry."

………

The blue-robed young man who wanted to rush out of the square accepted the taunts from behind like a tide, like sharp blades, inserting into his body, making his breathing become short.

"Li Yuan, after twelve days, the elders will depose your status as the patriarch, even if your father is the patriarch, he can't protect you."

Suddenly, a cold and piercing voice came from the test stone tablet, hitting Li Yuan's soul directly, and he couldn't help but pause in his forward steps.

"Li Minglin, Qi Refining Realm Sixfold!"

Immediately afterwards, under the test stele, a voice with excitement and excitement came from the mouth of the old man in green shirt.
