Chapter 1: The Genius Cast Out of the Spiritual Courtyard

Next Chapter

Floating Feather Continent, the southwest corner of the Tianluo Empire, Luoyu City.

A young man slowly walked out of the gate of the Tiannan Spirit Courtyard with his head down, and behind him was the disdainful ridicule of a group of students.

"Is it really a genius boy? I didn't expect that there has been no improvement in three years!" came the sarcastic voice of yin and yang behind him.

"Who knows, maybe it was only because of his father's relationship that he was able to enter the Tiannan Spirit Academy!"

"Waste is waste after all! No matter how good the cultivation conditions are, he will eventually be beaten back to his original form!"

"Hmph, it's a waste of so many precious resources, it's just a meat bun beating a dog!"

"He has lost all the faces of his family! Now that he has been kicked out, no one in his family has come to pick him up, so he is probably afraid of being embarrassed!"

"Go back, don't mess around anymore!"

......

Ling Yifeng hung his head, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, these people are really so mean and snobbish.

I still remember that three years ago, I was full of spirit, and I successfully condensed the Spirit Wheel at the age of less than ten years old, and became the youngest Spirit Wheel Realm in Luoyu City in the past hundred years, and was personally recruited into the Spirit Academy by Zhong Yuanli, the director of the Tiannan Spirit Academy, and gave him the best cultivation resources, almost all the teenagers in the city were shocked, they envied his talent, and at the same time, they were jealous of him.

Three years ago, he was so high-spirited, almost everyone was vying and rushing to get in touch with him, although he was younger in the spiritual courtyard, but he was regarded as a senior, many brothers and sisters who were older than him still asked him for advice, and he was always willing to point out the problems they encountered.

But in the past three years, he has stood still, and his strength has not improved in the slightest! Those who used to show him a flattering smile have gradually become cold to him, and even now dare to mock him without shying away from it.

In the past three years, he has always treated everyone kindly, never had conflicts or contradictions with others, and when they were in trouble, he was always enthusiastic to help without the slightest complaint. Perhaps, in their eyes, what they do is just what they should do, or maybe they think that they are just deliberately showing themselves when they have the ability!

Ling Yifeng quietly clenched his fists, he started practicing strength at the age of five, reached the ninth layer of spiritual power at the age of nine, and half a year later, he successfully condensed the spirit wheel in one fell swoop, becoming a real spiritual cultivator, and at the same time, it was also the youngest spirit wheel realm in Luoyu City, which shook the whole city for a while. His future is immeasurable.

"Soul Crippled!" Dean Zhong was suddenly startled when he was testing the spiritual veins for him, and then sighed.

Ling Yifeng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence when he first heard it, but from then on, even the head of the Spirit Academy, who had treated him as his own, gradually stopped paying as much attention to him as before, and just let him slowly cultivate.

Ling Yifeng only knew what it meant to be missing a soul after consulting the classics. People have three souls, one is called the cool spirit, the second is the fetal element, and the third is the ghost, which can also be called the three souls of heaven, earth and man. And he was born lacking these three wisps of soul, that is to say, no matter how strong his cultivation talent was, he would never be able to advance to the Divine Soul Realm. But what he didn't expect was that when he was still in the Spirit Wheel Realm, he had already stopped.

Cultivation is divided into nine realms, in addition to the most basic foundation building stage practice, it is divided into one to nine layers of spiritual power, and then successfully condense your own spiritual wheel in the dantian to become a real spiritual cultivator, this is the spiritual wheel realm, and then the spiritual yuan realm, the spiritual spirit realm, the divine soul realm, the spiritual sect realm, the holy emperor realm, the emperor realm, the holy venerable realm, and the domination realm.

The incomplete soul meant that he would never be able to reach the Divine Soul Realm, not even the Spiritual Realm!

Ling Yifeng shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced back at the plaque on the gate of the Spiritual Courtyard, with four golden characters on it: Tiannan Spiritual Courtyard!

Ling Yifeng's home is in a large mansion in the north of the city, which is the Ling family's mansion, one of the four major families in Luoyu City, and Ling Yifeng's father, Ling Cheng, is the current head of the Ling family.

When he walked into the gate of the Ling family, the guards at the door looked straight ahead, and they didn't look at Ling Yifeng, as if it was just a piece of air blowing through. Ling Yifeng laughed bitterly at himself in his heart, has my status in the family become so low? In the past, every time he came back, the guards at the door rushed to salute him and respectfully shouted hello to the young master!

As soon as he entered the gate, there was a strange laughter in his ears: "Oops! Our 'genius' young master is back!"

Ling Yifeng turned his eyes to see that several girls of his age were looking at him, one of them said sharply, and the others also covered their mouths and laughed.

"Ling Yuexin!" Ling Yifeng glanced at her lightly, didn't say much, turned around and walked towards his residence.

The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl had a childish face, but she couldn't hide her delicate face under the childishness, and at the age of twelve, reaching the seventh layer of spiritual strength could be called a gifted person, coupled with her charming face, she could be regarded as a star-studded existence in the Ling family. But Ling Yifeng just glanced at her indifferently and turned his head to leave.

Seeing Ling Yifeng ignoring herself so much, her face turned red, she stomped her foot on the ground angrily, chased after Ling Yifeng, and said: "I said Young Master Yifeng, why do you still have the face to come back, you were driven out by the Tiannan Spirit Academy, and the faces of our Ling family have been lost by you! Those people in the Spirit Courtyard pointed at us when they saw us, saying that this is the family of that 'genius boy', all of them are good things you did!"

Ling Yifeng stopped, looked at her with a calm expression, and then said slowly, "Yuexin, have you forgotten who helped you when you failed in your cultivation? Have you forgotten who encouraged you when you wanted to give up?

Ling Yue was stunned, and then her eyes turned slightly red, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was very cute, and she also felt very aggrieved: "But... But we really always get other people's eyes in the spiritual courtyard, and I just can't be angry that you don't react to this!"

"They're just jealous, although I'm not making progress now, but I'm still the strength of the Spirit Wheel Realm, in addition to their sneering on the side, how many people dare to challenge me?

"Well," Ling Yue nodded heavily, then looked at Ling Yifeng pitifully, and said, "Brother Yifeng, I was wrong just now, I'm sorry, can you please forgive me?"

Ling Yifeng suddenly smiled, finally this little cousin still remembered that he had been kind to her, he reached out to touch her head, but his hand reached into the air but retracted narrowly, scratching his head.

"You can cultivate your own, I'll go first!"

Ling Yuexin looked at Ling Yifeng's distant back, remembering the high-spirited young man a few years ago, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Ling Yifeng walked along the secluded path and came to his own small courtyard located at the north end of the Ling family's compound. Ling Yifeng was quiet by nature and didn't want to live in the middle of the noisy compound, so Ling Cheng arranged this remote hut for him. There are few people here, and there are mountains behind the house, so it is quiet on weekdays.

Luoyu City is located in the Tianluo Empire in the south of the Piaoyu Continent, the Piaoyu Continent is vast and boundless, with empires, families, sects, and major forces. And there is a place inaccessible on this Floating Feather Continent - the Dark Mountains. The Dark Mountains stretch for dozens or even millions of kilometers, almost across most of the Floating Feather Continent, here is the realm of the Warcraft, which is rich in aura, and many beasts will also swallow the aura, gradually opening up the spiritual intelligence, after countless generations of reproduction and development, it has evolved into today's powerful Warcraft, and even spirit beasts.

In short, this world is very vast and exciting, but the premise is that only with enough strength can you appreciate her beauty, without strength, you can't even get out of this small city for the rest of your life!

The big mountain behind Ling Yifeng's hut is a branch of the dark mountain range. Due to the remoteness of the main vein, there are no powerful demonic beasts, only some beasts and low-level demonic beasts live in it, otherwise, they would not dare to establish their family here.

The mountains are rich in resources, and the Ling family relies on these mountain resources to maintain the family's livelihood and status in Luoyu City. Almost every few days, the Ling family would organize manpower to go into the mountains to catch wild beasts, collect medicinal herbs, search for precious minerals, and even hunt and kill demonic beasts.

Ling Yifeng didn't go back to the room, but went up the mountain along a trail and walked slowly to the top of the mountain. The mountain is not very high, it can only be called a small hill. Ling Yifeng sat on the ground on a grassy field, clasped his hands around his knees, looked at the mountains in the distance, and looked at it in a daze.

He looked at the mountain peaks in the distance for a while, and then looked up at the blue sky, where clouds of smoke drifted by in the wind, and sometimes the figure of a big bird streaked through the air, leaving a faint trace, and then slowly dissipated.

Ling Yifeng lay on the grass, his head resting on his hands, and a grass root in his mouth, watching the sunset gradually hide behind the mountain.

"Phew..."Spit out the faint, almost tasteless grass roots in his mouth, and the bitterness in his mouth cannot be compared with the bitterness in his heart. He was just a child, and like other children his age, he was full of curiosity and anticipation about the unknown world. He wanted to become a strong man by his own efforts, and then he could travel the whole world.

However, his cultivation path had just begun, but he might have to stop here forever, and his innate soul was broken, which was equivalent to the heavens blocking his path to the strong. In this world where strength is admired and the strong are respected, how small an ordinary person is! His father is the head of the Ling family, and the status of the Ling family in Luoyu City is also quite weighty, even if he Ling Yifeng does not cultivate spiritual power, his father will support him, and it is not difficult to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for his life!

Is this the life I want?" Ling Yifeng asked himself softly in the bottom of his heart.

Ling Yifeng let out a long howl towards the distant sky, he was unwilling to spend his life ordinary. As an underage child, he is hot-blooded and has dreams. Your own life should be painted with colorful colors. However, fate made a person, created a genius, and wiped it out with his own hands.

Suddenly, Ling Yifeng noticed a sound not far behind him. Someone came over, Ling Yifeng was keenly aware of this subtle sound, he remained silent, trying his best to look more normal.

"Feng'er, so you're here!" a gentle laugh came from behind him.

This is a tall man, dressed in a gorgeous robe, and there is a proud momentum between his eyebrows, like the kind of temperament that can only be found in a high position for a long time.

This is Ling Cheng, the current head of the Ling family, and Ling Yifeng's father.

"Dad, why are you here?" Ling Yifeng asked suspiciously, Ling Yifeng was very busy dealing with large and small things in the family all day long, and rarely had time to wander around.

Ling Cheng strode over to Ling Yifeng's side and sat down next to Ling Yifeng, not caring at all about his luxurious robe.

"I heard that you came back from the Spirit Courtyard today, but I didn't find your person, I guess you just ran here!" Ling Cheng smiled faintly, "You don't blame your father for not picking you up from the Spirit Courtyard, right?"

Ling Yifeng was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Father has a lot of opportunities, how can there be such trivial things as air traffic control?"

"It's still a bit strange for my father, right? Dean Zhong has already told me about you, but I've been looking for a way to repair your soul for you!"

"I heard him say that the reason why you can't improve your spiritual power is because of the lack of your natural soul, so I sent people around to find a home remedy that can repair the soul! I heard that the pill pharmacists are good at treating soul power, so I went to the pill pharmacist guild to ask for their help!"

Pill pharmacist, that is a very rare profession, there may not be one out of 10,000 people, but the pill they refine is very practical, curing diseases and saving people, increasing life and prolonging life, and even living and dying human flesh and bones, so the pill pharmacist is very favored by major forces. No matter where you go, the pharmacist is a fragrant bun, and the major forces are vying to win over them, and their status is also invisibly elevated. However, as a pill pharmacist, especially a high-level pill pharmacist, he has his own arrogance, which is not something that ordinary people can just invite.

Even the Ling family, as one of the four major families in Luoyu City, didn't have the financial resources to hire a high-level pill pharmacist to serve them.

"Do I really have any hope of recovery?" Ling Yifeng was a little excited in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Well, I came to tell you the good news, I got a prescription for the four-rank pill 'Soul Yuan Dan', as long as you ask a four-grade pill pharmacist to refine this pill, it should be able to cure your soul problems!"

Ling Yifeng was taken aback, this level of pill medicine master was no longer something that could be hired with just money, and moreover, the family would definitely not let Ling Cheng spend huge financial resources to do such a thing, even if Ling Cheng was the head of the family.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about it, I've already thought of a way, and when the time comes, I will definitely let you regain your ability to cultivate!" Ling Cheng was unhappy when he thought of the few old things in the clan who had vigorously opposed it before, he had worked hard for the Ling family for more than ten years, and he still had to suffer from their opposition even by controlling a little property in the family in exchange for a pill?

Ling Yifeng looked at Ling Cheng and said in a low voice, "Thank you, father, I will definitely not let you down!"

Ling Cheng stroked his head with a smile, and said with some reproach: "What did you say, I am just a son like you, don't say thank you to me in the future!"

"Okay, it's not too early, I still have something to deal with, you can go back and rest early!" Ling Cheng stood up, patted the weeds on his body, and turned to leave.
