Volume 1: The Rise of the Green Mountains Chapter 11: Something Strange
"Good!" Ling Yun smiled and nodded.
Ling Yun may just be a relatively distant elder to Xingchen, but he is definitely a competent elder for the Ling family, since Xingchen can cultivate, and he has also shown unusual talent, Ling Yun is willing to give Xingchen guidance at this time.
"Look at the punch!" After hearing Ling Yun's words, Xing Chen suddenly burst into a roar, and a simple but terrifying fist blasted towards Ling Yun. Xingchen didn't know any martial arts at this time, his fighting skills and habits were derived from his previous life, and his favorite fighting technique in his previous life was the ancient martial arts of Yanhuang Kingdom, and the move he used at this time was a heavy hand in Bajiquan.
"With all your might!" Ling Yun stood there with a lot of fighting energy around him, and then motioned to Xingchen to make a move, because Xingchen had already shown extremely strong attack power before, even if Ling Yun's strength was strong, he didn't overdo it.
"Boom!" Xing Chen's fist and Ling Yun's palm slammed together, and the fighting qi in the two of them collided with a loud bang. Xing Chen only felt his fist bombarding a bull that was rushing towards him, and he only felt that Ling Yun's palm carried a terrifying force like a tsunami.
"Rub! Rub! Rub! ......" After Xing Chen and Ling Yun collided with each other, his body suddenly retreated more than a dozen steps, and every step he retreated left a footprint on the bluestone slab on the ground, you can imagine what terrifying power his body was under at this time.
"Happy!" Xing Chen shook his hand vigorously, and said with a slightly hideous face, the surging fighting aura that came from Ling Yun's palm just now was really terrifying, even if he knew that Ling Yun had left his hand, he also felt that the blood in his body was boiling again, making him want to fight.
"Drink!" Xing Chen's pace changed and he rushed towards Ling Yun again, and this time he used the Lost Trace Step from the ancient martial arts of his previous life, this time he did not go head-to-head with Ling Yun like before, but used his flexible pace to attack from the side.
"Your strength is far beyond your current realm!" Ling Yun shook his hand and said with a little surprise, of course with his strength, he could easily take Xingchen's attack, but just now he could feel that Xingchen's punch was not a martial art, but it used a special power technique, and the power of this punch would definitely not be in the full force of an ordinary seventh-order martial artist.
"My combat power is far beyond my realm!" Xingchen snorted in a low voice, and an extremely powerful palm knife from the side slashed towards Ling Yun, and Xingchen's palm knife was used by the stele opener in the ancient martial arts of the previous life.
"Boom!" Xing Chen's palm slashed at Ling Yun's waist, and with Xing Chen's palm knife, Ling Yun's fighting spirit bloomed with a ray of light. Xing Chen's move just now was so fast that Ling Yun didn't have time to reach out to block, so he could only use his strong fighting spirit to passively defend.
"The defense is so strong!" Xing Chen felt the surging anti-shock force coming from the palm of his hand, and he was also a little shocked.
"Tai Chi!" Xing Chen silently thought in his heart, and then turned his palm knife into a claw and grabbed Ling Yun's arm, and then his body shook left and right, and he used Tai Chi's unloading technique to unload the shock power brought by Ling Yun's fighting spirit, and at the same time, his body slammed into Ling Yun with the help of force.
"Iron Mountain!" The moment Xingchen crashed into Ling Yun, he carried the stunt of Bajiquan Tie Shan.
"Boom!" Another huge explosion sounded, and Ling Yun's body lit up with a dazzling Dou Qi light, which was his Dou Qi passively forming a protective shield.
"Pour it for me!" Xing Chen roared in his heart and used the battlefield fighting skills of his previous life to bring down Ling Yun, but Ling Yun's body was full of fighting energy, and the whole person stood firmly in place like a mountain, Xing Chen's fists and feet and moves were all ineffective for a strong person like Ling Yun, on the contrary, even if Ling Yun stood still, the defensive shield automatically formed by the fighting qi on his body almost shocked Xing Chen into a serious injury.
"Alright, your strength is much more powerful than I thought!" Ling Yun just patted Xing Chen's shoulder lightly, and Xing Chen's whole person instantly took more than a dozen steps back.
"Great Elder, your strength is too strong, I will be injured by your fighting spirit after a few more shocks!" Xingchen shook his hands vigorously and then said respectfully. He had already used his sharpest trick just now, but Ling Yun almost shook him when he stood and let him fight.
"It's still the patriarch's vision, the hero is a young man, Young Master Chen, you don't have the restriction of meridian defects, your future achievements will definitely not be under Ziyue and Tianqi!" Ling Yun showed a rare kind smile.
"The Great Elder has won the prize!" Xingchen said with some bared teeth.
"If you have any problems with your cultivation in the future, you can come to me at any time! You will be the future of the Ling family in the future! Ling Yun smiled and said, don't look at Ling Yun's expression at this time, but deep in his heart, there was a turbulent wave, Xingchen's attack just now naturally didn't cause him any harm, but he could clearly perceive that Xingchen's Dou Qi cultivation was indeed only a martial artist, and his breath was not stable, obviously he had just stepped into the martial artist realm and could not control the operation of the Dou Qi in his body well. It's just that the power of Xingchen's attack just now is a bit scary, especially the impact behind him, he has to use his fighting qi to protect his body, even if he has a great martial artist seventh-order cultivation, he also feels a faint pain in his body at this time, and according to his decades of experience in martial arts, the strength of Xingchen's just few attacks is definitely not weaker than the average seventh-order or eighth-order martial artist to exert his martial arts.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Xingchen smiled and said respectfully.
"Okay, you continue to cultivate, from today onwards, all the Ling family's cultivation resources, martial arts, and exercises will be open to you without restrictions, and you are the righteous son of the patriarch who should have the same treatment as Ziyue and Tianqi!" Ling Yun said, and at the same time, he did not avoid others. As one of the few first-class masters in Qingshan Town, Ling Yun's talent may be slightly inferior to Ling Aoyun, but his vision and experience are not bad, Xingchen has shown amazing combat effectiveness in the past few days, he feels that Xingchen will be a new star of the Ling family, after all, Xingchen was above Ling Ziyue and Ling Tianqi ten years ago.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Xingchen said again.
"Sure enough, only strength can gain respect!" Xing Chen watched Ling Yun turn around and leave, he secretly said in his heart, but he was more and more determined in his future martial arts path, after all, in the past ten years, Ling Yun was not as amiable to him as he is today.
……
"Young Master Chen, congratulations!"
"Young Master Chen, congratulations!"
"Young Master Chen, you did a beautiful job yesterday, I have long wanted to do Murong Fengxue's goods!"
……
Many young disciples of the Ling family on the martial arts arena also opened their mouths and showed a kind smile at this time, after all, they had heard Ling Yun's words just now, these Ling family disciples were also smart people, they knew that the great elder Ling Yun had always focused on the younger generation of extremely talented disciples, and for those disciples with mediocre talents, Ling Yun would never have a very good face, so from today onwards, Xingchen was different from before, he was no longer a waste young master of the Ling family, he was probably a new star of the Ling family in the future.
"Hmm!" Xingchen everyone smiled, he could naturally see the reason for the change in everyone's attitude.
……
Xing Chen finished his morning cultivation and left the martial arts arena, but instead of going back to the small courtyard where he lived, he walked towards a side courtyard of the Ling family, where Ling Ziyue and Ling Tianqi were recuperating.
"Father!" Xing Chen came to the side courtyard and saw Ling Aoyun sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, he whispered.
"Well, you're here!" Ling Aoyun nodded, looking a little tired.
"Father, how are Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian?" Xingchen looked at the busy figure in the back room and asked.
"Tianqi's injuries are stable and not life-threatening, but this time he has injured the foundation, which will affect his cultivation talent in the future! We can't solve the toxicity of Ziyue for the time being, so we can only ask Pharmacist Li to let a special method seal Ziyue's poison somewhere in the body, and in order to slow down the spread of the poison, we can only use medicine to make Ziyue fall into a deep coma, and we are still looking for a way to detoxify! Ling Aoyun's face looked haggard, but from his eyes, it was not difficult to tell that there was a burning flame in the depths of his eyes.
"Brother Tian has hurt the foundation! Sister Ziyue's toxicity can't be solved! Xing Chen's eyes were also cold, he knew that Ling Tianqi was a martial idiot, if his cultivation foundation was damaged, it would hit him more than cutting off one of his arms, and if Ling Ziyue's poison could not be lifted, even if it was how to slow down the spread of poison, the poison would completely explode one day.
"Father, Brother Tian's injury is healed by us looking for a panacea or a heavenly treasure in the future, and Sister Ziyue's poison must be lifted first, otherwise it will be life-threatening!" Xing Chen said with a frown.
"Hmmm! Ziyue's poison is very weird, not to mention me, even Situ Fengfeng and Pharmacist Li have never seen it, it is constantly burning and devouring Ziyue's fighting energy and vitality! Ling Aoyun said.
"The conventional antidote method to deal with this strange poison is ineffective, we must find out the source of the poison, and then find the corresponding detoxification method according to the composition of the poison, otherwise only those extremely high-level special antidote pills can be detoxified!" Xing Chen frowned and said, his medical attainments are no worse than that of Pharmacist Li, Ling Ziyue's pulse is strong and disordered, the poison in him is definitely not an ordinary poison, if he can't find the right way to the symptoms, it is extremely difficult to find that kind of super-high-grade elixir or elixir, with his experience in two lives and the experience of this world's well-read, he knows that this grade of elixir or elixir may not be found in the entire Tianfeng Kingdom, and even if he finds it, the Ling family may not be able to pay a high price, Because that kind of ultra-high-level elixir and elixir are often priceless, and they need a high-level alchemist to be able to refine them, and the highest-level alchemist currently known to the Heavenly Wind Country is only an intermediate alchemist.
"I have already let the Hall of Life and Death launch an investigation, I will not let anyone who is suspected, and I will make the culprit behind the scenes pay the price of blood!" An astonishing murderous intent flashed in Ling Aoyun's eyes, his beloved son and beloved daughter were attacked by someone, one was seriously injured and the other was poisoned, which had already angered Ling Aoyun's backlash as a father.
"Father, the incident of the attack on Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian, Murong Villa, is obviously inseparable, but the hostility between Murong Villa and our Ling family has not been a day or two, both of us are wary of each other, if Murong Villa wants to attack Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian, it will not wait until today, there must be some external force or opportunity to prompt Murong Villa to attack Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian!" Xingchen looked at Ling Aoyun and said with a serious expression.
"Chen'er, did you think of something?" Ling Aoyun was a little surprised when he heard Xing Chen's words, and then said, Ling Aoyun is also an old Jianghu, he can hear that there is something in Xing Chen's words.
"Father, I have an idea, but there are a lot of people here!" Xingchen looked at the servants of the Ling family who came in and out nearby, and then said in a low voice.
"Good! You come with me! Ling Aoyun stood up and nodded, he knew that his righteous son had always been young and old, maybe he had his own opinion on this matter.
Ling Aoyun took Xingchen out of this side courtyard and came to a huge stone room in the backyard of the Ling family, and then closed the heavy stone door casually.
"Chen'er, this is my usual retreat place, no one will come in without my permission!" Ling Aoyun immediately threw a piece of Illuminating Spirit Bead into a groove at the top of the stone chamber and then said. This stone room is a place where Ling Aoyun retreats and cultivates, and it is also a forbidden place in the Ling family, and no one usually approaches here.
"Father, yesterday I thought carefully about the incident of Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian's attack! I think there's something strange about it! Xingchen said.
"Tell me what you think!" Ling Aoyun nodded.
"The battle between our Ling family and Murong Villa has been a long time, and our grudge has long been irresolvable, but our strength is between Zhong Bo, although we have disputes, but before we have absolute strength to suppress each other, we rarely directly attack the heirs of the future generation of the other party's forces!" Xingchen said.
"This may be that the annual competition in Qingshan Town is coming, with Ziyue and Tianqi here, the younger generation of Murong Villa has a very low chance of winning, maybe it is because of the annual competition that they will attack the two!" Ling Aoyun said.
"Father, our annual competition in Qingshan Town is held every year, although the winner can get more resources in Qingshan Town, but the annual competition is held every year than several forces in our Qingshan Town, even if our Ling family can win a big victory this year and obtain more resources in Qingshan Town, at most, our Ling family's power is slightly stronger than Murong Villa, but they can't suppress or destroy Murong Villa in a short period of time, they blindly attack the future heir of our Ling family will only intensify the contradiction between our two sides prematurely, It could even lead to a direct war between the two of us! This is not wise, although Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian are the leaders of the younger generation of our Ling family, but compared to the overall strength of our two sides, the difference between two more young warriors and two less young warriors is not too big, and they still chose to do so, this must be some kind of opportunity, so that they are confident that they can deal with the revenge of the Ling family, and even have the ability to protect themselves and even win in the case of a full-scale war between our two forces! Xingchen said.
"You have a point, I didn't think of this before becoming a father!" After Ling Aoyun heard Xing Chen's words, a gleam obviously flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that his righteous son, who was usually low-key and inconspicuous, would have such eyesight.
