At this time, the sun in the sky was gradually setting westward. It was only a trance, and a few hours passed, and before I knew it, it was already evening.

"Whew." Fang Xing breathed in the air, the fresh breath in the courtyard brought a trace of coolness to his body and mind, and the freshness of everything in his eyes was even more vivid than before. Fang Xing's eyes widened slightly, casting a curious gaze on Fang Zizheng's face.

While Fang Xing was enjoying the new feeling brought by "Thundering Thunder", Fang Zi was watching quietly, but a smile flashed in his eyes. The look on Fang Xing's face, how could he escape his eyes. Seeing Fang Xing's somewhat strange eyes, he smiled happily, raised the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "Secret, secret, secret." The inheritance of the various families is so vast, how can the subtlety of the formula be passed on by a thin volume of ordinary paper? This page of yellow scrolls is from the hand of the housekeeper of the East China Sea, and it was won by your uncle in a bet with the housekeeper Lao Er. It took me three years and months to run the method of thunder every day, and poured my divine thoughts into it to refine this secret book. Although the magic obtained is not as good as your innate inheritance, but now that you can use it, it can also save you the hard work of slowly comprehending. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Fang Qi was about to give a salute, but was pulled by Fang Zizheng, "Come, don't be polite, drink tea first." ”

Fang Xing didn't twit around this, Fang Zi was asking him to learn the secrets, and he learned it; Fang Zi was asking him to drink tea, and he drank tea unceremoniously; In front of this elder, he tried his best to show his well-behaved appearance.

Fang Xing's obedient performance made Fang Zizheng very happy, and he felt that this nephew had never been separated from him, so the more he looked at Fang Xing, the more he liked it. He said mildly: "Five years ago, my uncle started preparing for this. It wasn't until last year that a volume of secret notes was refined. I was wondering a few days ago, and I don't know when you'll be able to use this book. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, you surprised your uncle. My uncle is old, and now I am really happy to see the future generations of talents in my family. ”

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, from Fang Zizheng's words, he could hear the preciousness of this page of yellow paper, not to mention that it was a secret that the top masters in Fang Zizheng County had spent three years refining to cultivate. But he was only sixteen years old this year, and he happened to be eleven years old five years ago, which was the age when he was defeated and retreated from the Qi Refining Avenue in frustration. In this way, Fang Zizheng secretly prepared this volume of secrets for him that year?

"Thank you, uncle!" Fang Xing still thanked him sweetly, but his heart was full of doubts.

"It's not that I'm suspicious, it's that all of this doesn't make sense!" Fang Xing thought to himself, "If my uncle really cares about me so much, why did Fang Xing, who had let the past few years before, be bullied in the family?" How can there be such a strange thing in the world! ”

At this time, he heard Fang Zizheng ask again: "Yesterday, Chuan Wu already told you about the family's current predicament, right?" ”

Fang Xing smiled slightly and replied, "My nephew is ashamed, his cultivation is really shallow. In the past few years, I have been ignorant, and I never imagined that the family's difficulties would be so great. At the moment, it can't help the family to carry much of the burden. ”

Fang Zizheng nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "There are indeed difficulties. However, there is no need to carry the burden. Although my uncle is old, these old guys in the family are still there, and I can shelter you from the wind and rain for a few years. Right now, outsiders are waiting, waiting for a group of old guys in the family to die, and then come to clean up the mess. And us? We're waiting, we're waiting for you to grow up! ”

Fang Xing's face was straight, he raised his head with his chest straight, his upper body was straight, and he promised Fang Zizheng: "I will work hard and never live up to my uncle's high hopes." ”

He had a modest smile on his face, but it wasn't a taste in his heart. Fang Xing thought strangely, since he was waiting for them to grow up, then why didn't the family cultivate him carefully after Fang Xing missed the Qi Refining Dao at the age of eleven, but abandoned him?

Originally, Fang Xing thought that it was because the cost of cultivating him was too great and the family was profit-seeking, so he abandoned him. But the recent knowledge at home made him realize that Fang Xing's share of resources had actually been prepared at home. It has been placed there, as if it is waiting to be burned by a fire, or Fang Xing will suddenly rise one day.

What Fang Zizheng said to him, Fang Xing couldn't understand. Fang Xing couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Why do you want to sit back and watch Fang Xing be miserable for so many years and be indifferent? If it weren't for the fact that I had just woken up from a big dream and the souls of the two lives were one, what would the family have attached so much importance to and cultivated myself? ”

As if seeing the feelings in Fang Xing's heart, Fang Zizheng suddenly swept Fang Xing's face with meaningful eyes, and said lightly: "Xing'er must have a question in his heart, right?" ”

Fang Xing's face remained unchanged, and he was about to stand up and defend himself. Unexpectedly, Fang Zizheng did not give him this opportunity to respond. Fang Zizheng smiled slightly: "Don't panic, it's right to have doubts, it's stupid to have no doubts!" I'm sure you've been skeptical for a long time, right? Well, you should know all this. Uncle will explain it to you today, so that you can let go of your burden and practice qi with peace of mind. ”

Fang Xing smiled innocently and listened to Fang Zizheng quietly.

"You are different from others, although the Qi Refining Avenue has boundless power, but it is too dangerous after all, your mother hopes that you can live in peace and security! I am my mother's brother and your own uncle, so I naturally want to fulfill her wishes. ”

"But ......"

The word 'but' fell into Fang Xing's ears. Fang Xing couldn't help but secretly said: "The key is here" and secretly cheered up in his heart, listening attentively to Fang Zizheng's narration.

"However, your second uncle does not see it that way. When you were eleven years old, you didn't pass the trial, which showed that your qualifications were not suitable to embark on the path of qi refining. Your mother and I are both relieved, but your second uncle is very disappointed, Zisheng, he always hopes that there will be more people in the family's lineage to embark on the road of qi refining, especially you. ”

Fang Zizheng sighed, picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, and said: "In today's situation, the world is in turmoil, and there is also an undercurrent between the big families, how can a family be allowed to live in peace!" You had great ambitions when you were young, and our elders naturally knew that. Although your qualifications are not good, with the financial and material resources of your family, why worry about the threshold of gas refining? Your second uncle naturally hopes that you can step into the Qi Refining Dao, and he thinks that this will be good for you and your family. ”

"However, the dangers of the Qi Refining Avenue are far beyond what you outsiders can know. Your qualifications are not suitable for qi refining, if you want to forcibly embark on the road of qi refining, you will inevitably have to spend more effort and experience more dangers than others, these are the family to help you, and it is difficult to guarantee your safety. Your mother knows this, and she is right to think about you and not want you to step into this bloody and cruel world. ”

"So, your mother and your second uncle had a disagreement about your future life arrangements."

These words were all secrets that Fang Xing had never known. He listened to this in his ears now, and although there were thousands of surprises and confusions in his mind, he still sat upright on the stone bench and did not say a word. It's just that his long eyebrows are frowning slightly, and his expression is solemn, indicating that he is indeed listening to Fang Zizheng's words.

Fang Zizheng glanced at Fang Xing and smiled a little apologetically, "I am your uncle, and I am the family of the Dongfang family." Sandwiched between your mother and your second uncle, I'm helpless! ”

"Zisheng and I have had a very good relationship with your mother since we were children, and no matter what happens, this will not change. I can guarantee that as long as you have not embarked on the road of qi refining, the Fang family can ensure that you will be rich for a hundred years! ”

"But what your second uncle means, I can't help but think carefully. His wish is also the will of the family! Still, I guess that's what you're hoping for, right? You have hidden a breath of gas from the bottom of your heart, and naturally you are not willing to be an ordinary man and die old, right? ”

Fang Xing pursed his lips and nodded.

Fang Zizheng sighed and said, "I knew it was like this." But your mother feels sorry for you, she wants you to spend your life in peace, you have to understand this! “

"But, your mother is from our family!" When he said this, Fang Zizheng's voice was not high, and his words did not have any fierce words, but the majesty of the great family was fully demonstrated. Fang Xing only thought that there was an angry lion roaring in his ear - "She has the blood of our family in her body!" The will of the family, she has already violated it once, this time she must obey, this is what a child of the Fang family must do! Although your second uncle and I both love your mother very much, this matter cannot be decided by her privately, and we cannot indulge her to make private decisions! ”

With a sigh of relief, Fang Zizheng's majestic momentum suddenly retracted, and he turned back into an amiable elder, and he said to Fang Xing: "Besides, this kid of yours also wants to step into the avenue of qi refining." So, after thinking about it again and again, I suggested that your mother make an agreement with your second uncle. ”

"Qi refiner, fighting for a glimmer of destiny, the winner ascends to the top of the nine heavens, and the loser is only dead! It's a road to victory. Your innate talents are not good, and the way of refining qi is extremely dangerous for you, and it is difficult for your family to protect you. You need to work hard to make up for the lack of qualifications. And this will test your mind and perseverance. So, your mother and your second uncle have an agreement. ”

"Give you nine years, and give your second uncle nine years. In these nine years, I will suffer you for a long time, and I will hone your character to see how you are. ”

"In the face of heavy trials and pressures, some people have collapsed, some people are complaining, and some people are fighting to fight for that glimmer of victory with great wisdom and perseverance. If you can't even get through this tribulation in your family, what kind of qi are you refining? What kind of immortality to cultivate? ”

"Your mother and your second uncle have agreed that if you can endure hardships and endure tempering, if you really have a heart towards the Dao, then according to your second uncle's wishes, the family will help you step into the avenue of qi refining. If not, then there will be a reason to explain to the family, and I can follow your mother's wishes to let the family ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. ”

Fang Zizheng suddenly smiled bitterly: "That's the way it is. It's been five years since this agreement, and your mother is a little relieved, but who would have thought that you would be such a blockbuster? ”
