In a blink of an eye, it came to the first month, and it was the end of the year.

Outside, firecrackers were ringing and gongs and drums were noisy, but in a small courtyard in the east of the city, Lin Shan didn't hear anything outside the window, and was only focused on cultivation.

Three months ago, he successfully entered the second layer of Qi Training, and his progress was extremely fast, and the spiritual power in his body was probably enough to release more than twenty Wind Blade Techniques. Lin Shan thought about it and was still not safe enough, so he continued to absorb the aura of heaven and earth day and night, after all, this kind of predatory cultivation was addictive to everyone.

In the past six months, in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, Lin Shan basically stayed at home, which made Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family very anxious.

Since that night, his second brother, that is, the first-class master of the Zhao family, died in the Linshan Courtyard, and later the person in charge of receiving it came back to report. Before Mr. Zhao gathered a large number of masters, he went over to lay a net, and the people who were watching and tracking outside said that they had lost it.

After that day, there was no trace of Lin Shan.

Nightingale's own killers are staring around the clock, and people are also being sent around the city to secretly investigate. But Lin Shan was like the world had evaporated, as if he had already left the world.

As the head of the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao can also become the chief staff of the county guard, so he naturally does not simply think that this matter is over. After all, at this moment in his antique shop, there are still antique golden bells bought by Lin Shan for three thousand taels of gold.

From Lin Shan's young age, bold and careful, and daring to pull the banner of Jiang Protector to tease himself, he calculated in advance that he would send someone to kill him that night, and even killed a first-class master.

After analyzing all kinds of actions, Mr. Zhao did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

Although he didn't understand it very well, since Lin Shan could calculate in advance that he would send someone to raid, why didn't he transfer Admiralty in advance. But he wants to take advantage of this kind of person when he is young to strangle him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Now that half a year has passed, there is still no progress, and Mr. Zhao has no choice but to give up.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Shan was not only in the city, but also cultivating steadily under his nose.

……

Another year has passed, and it has been more than a year and a half since Lin Shan left the Lin family in Qinghe County, and Lin Shan is also close to 18 years old.

Lin Shan, who had been lingering in his cultivation and never wanted to return, ended his retreat at this time. It's not because he has no money, after all, he has a huge amount of money in his hand, and ordinary people can't spend it in their lifetime.

The real reason is that he has hit a bottleneck.

Ever since he had cultivated to the peak of the third layer of Qi cultivation two months ago, he felt that no matter how he cultivated, the spiritual power in his dantian would not rise.

Later, in the process of exploration, I finally found a spiritual aperture, that is, the so-called "entrance" barrier in the cultivation exercises.

Only by breaking through the entrance and stepping into the fourth layer of Qi cultivation can you expand the capacity of the dantian and continue to improve your cultivation.

This is a bottleneck that everyone will have from the early to the middle stage of Qi training.

So for the next month, he tried to break through this "entrance" all day and night. But every time he gathers his aura to rush through the level, his aura always crashes and scatters. Instead, the scattered aura roamed around his body, causing a lot of injuries.

After trying it a few times, he finally knew that it would definitely not work on his own to act like this, unless there was an elixir to assist him in rushing through the level, otherwise failing in the long run would lead to meridian disorder and go mad.

Of course, there is more than one way, and later he found out that although the entrance is thick and hard, it can be polished!

Lin Shan, who had tasted the sweetness of cultivation, how could he endure the torture of not being able to grow in cultivation?

So he grinded day and night, and after grinding like this for half a month, he finally sadly found that if he continued at the current rate, he would need to polish at least eight to ten years to get through!

"Just a bottleneck from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage needs to be polished for a full 10 years, so what should I do with the bottleneck from the middle to the late stage? And what about the future? ”

Lin Shan really wanted to know how other immortal cultivators cultivated, after all, he was doing it behind closed doors, and he was blinded by two eyes. At this rate, he didn't know what year and month it would take for him to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi cultivation.

"If there is a place around that is full of spiritual energy, it would be good for me to slowly cultivate and polish it. As long as the aura is doubled, I can break through within five years! If it's ten times richer, I'm afraid it will be less than a year! If it is twenty times more thirty times rich..."

Lin Shan thought about it like this, it seems that it is better to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find a spiritual spring and spiritual vein or something like that, than to stay here and work hard.

"In fact, the most time-saving and labor-saving thing is that there is still a powerful pill to assist in impacting the entrance, but where should I find the pill corresponding to the rush during the Qi training period?"

Lin Shan felt that he had a strengthened panel, and it seemed that he could take a shortcut and use the pill to rush through the level. It's just that I don't know if the Chongguan Pill used by the martial artist can be used for himself after it is strengthened...

However, now that the third layer of Qi cultivation is at its peak, the spiritual power in his body is much stronger than when he first entered the Qi training period.

Lin Shan estimated that it was no problem to cast the Wind Blade Technique hundreds of times, even if he was surrounded by a large army, he would be able to kill a bloody path alive!

"It's time to get out there and find an opportunity, but before that, there are two more things to do."

Lin Shan cleaned up unhurriedly, pushed open the yard, and the cold wind outside the door howled.

It turned out that before I knew it, it was the first month of the year again.

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and every house is lit up, but there are not many pedestrians on the street at night, and it is deserted.

Lin Shan was dressed in white, with a warm sun jade pendant hanging from his waist, and slowly paced on the streets of this big city in southern Xinjiang.

There are passers-by around who see it, and they can't help but glance twice, which family's son and brother are this, so handsome!

……

At this time, the Zhao Mansion was a lively scene. People come and go, bustling, endless.

Tonight is not only the third Chinese New Year's Eve of the new year, but also the birth mother of Mr. Zhao, the head of the Zhao family, the seventieth birthday of Mrs. Zhao.

The red lanterns are hung high inside and outside the gate, and all kinds of colored paper-cuts are colorful on the trees, and even the two stone lions standing at the door are covered with two garlands!

"This wreath is placed on the birthday, is this Zhao family serious?"

A man in white walked outside the door of Zhao's mansion, with his hands behind his back, slowly looking around, and saw the wreath on the stone lion strangely.

It's no wonder that Lin Shan is puzzled, after all, the Great Song Dynasty in this world is still different from the previous life, and the customs of various states and counties are even more strange, with different meanings and different natural understandings.

After watching for a while, Lin Shan mixed into the Lin Mansion with the flow of guests. The little guy who received at the gate looked at Lin Shan's face, and just wanted to ask him to take out the invitation card to take a look, but Lin Shan went in directly.

The little guy couldn't stop it, so he had to give up.

At this time, in the front yard of Zhao's mansion, the big square was already full of tables, lined up in two squares, and in the middle was a large empty piece, and a large group of stage was already "babbling" and singing.

Lin Shan found a place to sit down at random, the table was already full of melons, fruits, wine and meat, and Lin Shan, who had been cultivating for a year and a half, unceremoniously feasted, after all, Mr. Zhao still owed him three thousand taels of gold?

What's wrong with eating him!

The guests around him can be invited by Mr. Zhao, naturally they are all well-known figures in the military, political and business circles of southern Xinjiang, many of them have never seen Lin Shan, and they wonder who the white-clothed man invited by the Zhao family is, and why he has never seen it.

……

Half an hour later, when the guests had arrived, the stage team withdrew one after another. Mr. Zhao, the head of the family, and his biological mother, Lao Taijun, came out of the backyard and sat down.

"Thank you for your busy schedule, you were invited by Zhao to come to the banquet, and thank you in the next generation of mothers. Today, I should drink this cup with you, and I wish you all prosperity in official luck, prosperity in martial arts, and rolling in wealth! ”

"Cheers to this!"

There was a chorus of echoes in the audience, everyone raised their glasses and drank together, talking and laughing, and they were happy.

The dishes have gone through three rounds, and the wine has passed five flavors.

Mr. Zhao clapped his hands, and a long line of dancers from the Western Regions walked out behind him, all of them were charming, enchanting, entangled in light gauze, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of spring. Come to the center of the arena and dance to the musicians...

Lin Shan was even more dizzying, and secretly sighed that this Zhao family really has a wide range of channels, and they can buy so many Western Regions dancers in southern Xinjiang.

In the past, he had always been a handyman in the Lin family, how could he enjoy this?

Today just happened to be a coincidence, feasting the eyes and mouth.

He looked around, these dignitaries and nobles were not different, they were still pushing cups and changing lamps, and they were trying to communicate with each other. Obviously, each family has a golden house to hide Jiaojiao, and these are basic operations.

After a while, the singing and dancing ended. The dancers on the field came down one after another, each in order, came to sit down beside the guests, and began to pour tea and brew wine one by one, pinching their shoulders and beating their legs.

There was also one from Lin Shan's side, this woman had picturesque eyebrows, autumn waves, exposed her navel, those big eyes looked at Lin Shan with watery eyes, and lowered her head shyly.

Kneeling beside him and gently beating his legs, a pair of lotus wrists are snow-white and pink, which can be seen really at night.

Smelling the faint fragrance around me, I can't help but feel fluttering when I travel through the forest mountain that I haven't touched a woman for 12 years...
