Chapter 1: A Small-Town Boy
New book release, please support more!
In the eastern part of the Dragon Bird Empire, there is a small town called 'Qingshan', with a permanent population of less than 10,000, desolate, dilapidated, and barren land.
There are countless small towns like this in the Spirit Sword Continent, and if it weren't for the fact that they were next to the continent's first mountain range, the Dragon Bird Mountain Range, they would not be known to the outside world at all.
Ten years ago, a strange firelight fell from the sky and fell into the endless Dragon Sparrow Mountain Range. Suddenly, the mountains and rivers shook, thousands of trees were bleak, and millions of demon beasts roared and screamed, almost wanting to tear the heavens and the earth apart.
The fire in the sky is burning, reflecting the red mountains, and all the beasts are galloping, like waves......
From that day on, the Longque Mountain Range, which had always been inaccessible, was constantly haunted by cultivators, and even the nearby Qingshan Town was also lively.
As the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there are really a lot of hunters in Qingshan Town, and most of the people in the town are also engaged in work related to 'demon beasts', such as skinning and removing bones, fur and clothing, and so on.
The demon beast is a powerful creature that is no less than a human cultivator, with a super physique, which can manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth, and even the legendary top demon beast, which can transform into a human form and walk in the world.
Of course, the people of Qingshan Town are all ordinary people who don't know how to cultivate, and the demon beasts they can capture are only some of the weakest ordinary demon beasts.
However, even the lowest-level ordinary demon beasts, whose fur is made into exquisite clothes and blankets, are also very popular with the nobles, and are the biggest source of income for the people of Qingshan Town.
As for the legendary demon beast crystal nucleus, although each one is worth a thousand gold, it has nothing to do with the people of Qingshan Town. Because all demon beasts with crystal nuclei can already manipulate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and non-ordinary hunters can hunt them.
Peeling Ridge is a high ground in Qingshan Town, and it is shrouded in the smell of blood that permeates the air all day. At this moment, there is a steady stream of cheers.
"Look, the young master is going to shoot again!"
"No, the young master's bone-splitting technique should be the first in Qingshan Town!"
"The young master's movements are really neat, what is the name of a word, yes, chic! The young master's movements are so chic! ”
Above the high ground is an open-air slaughterhouse, gathered dozens of elite men, all shirtless, with bulging muscles, looking very strong and powerful, and the butcher knives in their hands are a symbol of their status.
The crowd was watching a young man, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a blue cotton robe, with a delicate appearance, holding an iron sword, standing in front of a pile of 'Roshan', which seemed out of place in the surrounding environment.
The pile of 'Roshan' in front of the boy is not a real Roshan, but the huge body of a demon beast, although it has been stripped of its fur at this time, its hideous head and horns still show its identity - Fire Cloud Leopard!
In the Spirit Sword Continent, there are nine levels of demon beasts.
Among them, the first- and second-level demon beasts, compared with ordinary domestic animals and poultry, have nothing special except for their physical strength.
However, demon beasts above the third level are not only physically strong, but also can manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth, master supernatural powers, and are not ordinary hunters can hunt.
Obviously, the third-level demon beast Fire Cloud Leopard in front of everyone was not hunted by the hunters of Qingshan Town, but the corpse of the demon beast that they risked picking up from the depths of the mountain.
In the past ten years, cultivators have often haunted the Dragon Bird Mountain Range, and cultivators naturally have no interest in ordinary low-level demon beasts, and occasionally they will kill some guys who don't open their eyes.
Therefore, after the hunters of Qingshan Town entered the mountain, in addition to hunting low-level demon beasts, the greater gain was to take the risk of picking up the corpses of high-level demon beasts abandoned by cultivators.
The fire cloud leopard's fur is soft and smooth, and it is beautifully patterned, which was loved by the nobles of the empire. In addition, its flesh and blood contain many essences of vitality, which is the best ingredient in cooking delicious dishes.
The trouble is that the flesh and blood of the Fire Cloud Leopard is so tough that it can be divided by an ordinary sword, and how to divide the flesh and bones at the moment has become a major matter in everyone's hearts.
Generally speaking, only those experienced masters can do this job, but in the current situation, it is the immature young man who will personally handle the knife.
Swish!
The young man drew his sword out of the sheath, and the sword light flashed and quickly cut into the body of the demon beast, without the slightest stagnation in the middle, and the fire cloud leopard, which was known for its physical toughness, could not stop the cutting speed of the iron sword in the slightest.
Swish!
The young man's backhand is another sword!
Swish!
Swish!
……
In the blink of an eye, the boy had already slashed out thirteen swords. And every time he swung his sword, he would cut in at an extremely strange angle, and the position he was standing on would change accordingly.
The so-called practice makes perfect, and the so-called self-taught. The boy has been mixed in the peeling ridge since he was a child, and he has long practiced the ability to peel the skin and remove the bones. No matter what kind of demon beast it is, as long as it is in his hands, it can be perfectly dismembered. Moreover, the entire dismemberment process will never exceed thirteen swords.
The thirteen forms of bone dismantling were all displayed, and the young man retreated.
In front of the fire cloud leopard, the flesh and bones were automatically separated, and a complete skeleton was presented in front of everyone, and the surrounding area once again erupted in earth-shattering applause.
This situation has long been accustomed to the young man. Obviously, this isn't the first time he's done something like this.
After the young man put the sword into the sheath, he slowly took a soaked white towel from the servant's hand, wiped his hands, and then said slowly: "Send all this meat to the Drunken Immortal Building!" ”
……
The young man's name is Tang Yin, and he is the young owner of the Drunken Immortal Building, and he is also the young master of this Qingshan Town. As the only bloodline of the Tang family in Qingshan Town, after the disappearance of his father Tang Tian, Tang Yin has been dependent on his mother Lin Wanyue.
Lin Wanyue was a powerful cultivator with the strength of the 'Divine Power' realm, so in this Qingshan Town, no one dared to bully their mother and son.
There are no weak magicians in the Spirit Sword Continent, nor are there predators with brute strength, only 'sword masters' who cultivate true yuan and raise swords with their bodies.
For sword master cultivators, the real divine weapon is never a metal iron weapon created by a craftsman, but a sword soul conceived in the body by the cultivator with himself as a furnace and soul as a seed, gathering the essence of heaven and earth aura.
The embodiment of the sword soul is the spirit sword, and the master of the spirit sword is the 'sword master'! The strength of the sword master is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors, he can slay demons and subdue demons, he can fly to the sky and escape to the ground, he can break through the void with his sword, and he can be eternal and immortal.
It can be said that the sword master's cultivation is all on the spirit sword he bred, and the so-called sword soul is the human soul, and the spirit sword is actually the second life state of the sword master's cultivator.
Tang Yin is also a 'Sword Master' cultivator, but his strength is not flattering, and now he is only in the realm of 'gathering qi'.
'Gathering Qi' is the entry realm of the 'Sword Master' cultivators, and after that, there are 'Yun Sword' realm, 'Sword Soul' realm, 'Concrete' realm, 'Divine Power' realm, 'Nine Tribulations' realm, 'Heavenly Xuan' realm, 'Holy Dao' realm, and 'Eternal' realm.
Tang Yin has been cultivating since he was six years old, and it has been a full eight years now, not that his talent is extremely poor, nor that he has not cultivated hard enough, but that he really does not want to become a sword.
In Tang Yin's memory, there are nine realms in the heavens and ten thousand worlds on the earth, and the Spirit Sword Continent is just a corner of the 'cage' in the heavens and ten thousand worlds.
The poor Spirit Sword Continent cultivators would never have thought that even if their cultivation reached the legendary Eternal Realm, the best result would be to become a sword in the hands of the Nine Heavens Gods!
In his previous life, Tang Yin was born in the Nine Heavens Divine Domain, and because he couldn't cultivate, he was sent by his family to 'Dan Demon' Yao Qingtian to be a 'trial Dan' boy.
In Tang Yin's opinion, this is not a good thing, after all, Yao Qingtian's alchemy level can be ranked in the top 100 in the entire Nine Heavens God Domain, and the name of Dan Demon is not in vain, but he never thought that the suffering of a lifetime would only begin from here.
In the eight years that 'Dan Demon' Yao Qingtian has been around, Tang Yin has been doing the same thing every day, that is, eating Dan, eating Dan, and eating Dan again.
It would be fine if those pills were normal pills, but the new pills developed by 'Dan Demon' are extremely crazy, not to mention the stability of the medicine, and there are side effects that are difficult for ordinary people to bear.
Sometimes death is the best relief for Tang Yin, but he watched his companions around him die in pain one by one, but he could always wake up miraculously at the end, until one day, the 'Dan Demon' refined a magic pill called 'Nine Turns of Reincarnation'......
Although Tang Yin of the Heavenly Domain has been liberated, Tang Yin, who was reborn in the Spirit Sword Continent, is still suffering from 'pain'. In his previous life, Tang Yin wanted to cultivate, but he couldn't; In this life, Tang Yin was able to cultivate, but he was never able to find the correct cultivation method.
The Spirit Sword Continent is a cage for the gods of the Nine Heavens to raise 'sword souls', and all the rules are set in order to 'produce' more and stronger sword souls.
Tang Yin didn't want to be the sword in the hands of the gods, he needed a cultivation method that was enough to jump out of the rules, and until this problem was completely solved, he would definitely not really embark on the path of cultivation!
