Three years later.

Qifeng City.

Yejia Square.

A pagoda in the center of the huge and wide square, two old men sit under the high platform, a bluestone like a person is high in the middle, a round ball like a skull is the size of a skull on the bluestone, the ball is made of what kind of spar, the whole body is transparent, like glass.

Next to the crystal ball stood a blue-shirted young man, who was holding the crystal ball with both hands and injecting mana into it.

A moment later, a faint, even eye-catching milky white light in the crystal ball wriggled half-dead like a small worm.

The young man's handsome face smiled gloomily, and the corners of his lips raised slightly with a little ridicule and a little helplessness.

It was Ye Liangchen who was injured and returned from the secret cave expedition that day!

"Alas, the more you practice, the weaker you become, if you continue like this, you will practice back to the Bigu period next year!"

A long-bearded old man next to the crystal ball, who was in charge of testing mana, glanced at the milky white band of light in the crystal ball, and shouted indifferently:

"At the beginning of Qi refining, go down!"

As soon as the old man blurted out his words, there was a noise in the crowded square.

"The early stage of qi refining? or the lower level!haha... Laugh to death!"

"Hehe, as I expected, this "genius" has been practicing hard for a year and has given us a big surprise!"

"Haha, how did the genius bastard who was famous in Qifeng City in the past become like this now?"

"A few years ago, I said that it must have been piled up with the pills that he Lao Tzu bought at a great price, in order to make him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

The patriarch thought he was a genius and agreed to let him return to the sect. Sure enough, the foundation is not stable, and I am greedy for progress in practice, and I have taken a fork in the road, and now it has plummeted, and I am right by me!"

"Who said that! He was injured in the trial and fell to this step of the field! It's a pity that a good seedling!"

"You're the only one who believes this nonsense!"

"What do you mean?"

As he spoke, the two quarreled.

All kinds of ridicule, regret, and quarrels from all around converged into a buzzing sound like a torrent, rushing into the ears of Liangchen, who was still smiling at the corners of his mouth.

Like a huge wave, he was unsteady on his feet, almost dizzy.

Liangchen smiled and slowly raised his head, a handsome and immature face, because he was too young to control his emotions, his cheeks were a little red as if he had rubbed rouge.

A pair of dark eyes slowly swept over the faces with mockery around them.

The fingers pointing and pointing, with a mocking smile, as if a long, long time ago, his father took him to stand in front of the family ancestral hall, the children who laughed at him!

"No matter when, people are still bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!" smiled bitterly, turned around lonely, and quietly returned to the edge of the crowd, a lonely figure, looking into the distance, not knowing what to think.

"Next, Ye Meijing!"

Listening to the old man's shout, a green-shirted girl with a ponytail walked briskly.

The girl had just appeared, and the discussion that arose because of the good day was much quieter, and the eyes of the audience rose and fell with the shaking of the ponytail.

The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a goose-egg-like face, faint curved eyebrows, and she doesn't forget to say hello to the acquaintances next to her along the way, and occasionally makes a grimace, and her pure and lovely appearance makes people feel very close.

The girl stepped forward quickly, her fair-skinned little hand touched the transparent crystal ball with ease, and then began to slow down her luck...

Between a few breaths, the gas in the transparent crystal ball boiled again, and as the girl kept injecting mana, slowly the crystal ball was filled with milky white thick gas.

"This should be the end of Qi refining, right?"

"Almost, looking at this thickness, it shouldn't have reached the upper level, but I don't know if it's intermediate or low?"

"At the end of Qi refining, mid-level!"

"Ye Meijing, intermediate stage of Qi refining!" the long-bearded old man shouted with a smile.

"Haha!" Listening to the elder shouting out her realm, the girl couldn't help but laugh.

"Tsk, it's already in the middle stage of the end, it's terrible, according to this progress, I'm afraid it will only take two or three years at most, and she will be able to build a foundation!"

"It is worthy of being the four beauties of Qifengcheng who are called the same as Zhang Family Red Rose, Xiao Family Bai Dan, and Xu Family Lengmei!"

Listening to the bursts of praise from the crowd, the girl smiled and returned to her place.

"I think I was like this a few years ago, no matter where I go, it's like the stars holding the moon!" Liangchen looked at the beautiful scenery and cast a hint of praise.

As if sensing something, the girl followed her gaze to Liangchen who was standing at the edge of the crowd. As soon as his eyes touched, Liangchen pretended to look away casually.

Ye Meijing remembered that he had always been the focus of the crowd before, with a faint smile, even in the advanced foundation building period at the age of fourteen, the glorious moment of the audience was indifferent.

"Now that such a blow is blowing, I wonder if he can still accept it?"

"Alas," she sighed wistfully, and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to give up.

At the age of nine, he was refining qi, and at the age of fourteen, he broke through the late stage, and successfully advanced to the foundation building period, and became the youngest genius in the family and even Qifeng City within a hundred years!

I even heard that even the Heavenly Sword Mountain, one of the Four Great Sword Sects, was rumored to be taking him into the mountain to practice after the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen.

However, the path of genius is always tortuous!

Three years ago, this genius boy who was in the middle of the day suddenly became separated from the team in a family trial and was knocked unconscious by an unknown demon beast!

After waking up, he found that his mana was inexplicably gone, and his realm was constantly falling.

From genius to ordinary, and then to mediocrity, this blow has made him decadent day by day.

Fortunately, he is cheerful by nature, and he looks like he goes with the flow on the surface, but if he changes his personality to be strong, he may not be able to accept the blow, and he will become crazy and crazy.

"Next, Ye Kai!"

In the noisy crowd, the old man's voice sounded again.

As the name sounded, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were on the center of the square.

At the place where everyone's eyes converged, a man dressed in a crimson purple bodysuit with sword eyebrows and starry eyes was walking slowly, and his calm demeanor did not change at all because of everyone's attention.

The young man is resolute with a childish face, and although he is young, he has the calmness that others have not had.

Ye Kai walked to the crystal ball, gently rolled up his long sleeves, stretched out a pair of thin palms, and then placed them on top of the crystal ball.

After taking a deep breath, Yun Gong crossed into the crystal ball, and the cloud-like light bloomed again, quickly filling the entire crystal ball.

"It's so powerful, it should be in the late stage!"

"yes, yes. Wait a minute.... I think I've seen silver!"

"No! Silver, but it only appears during the foundation building period!"

I saw that in the crystal ball, the edge of the thick milky white air mass was gradually plated with a layer of silver.

At first, people thought it was their eyes that were spent, but as the silver light gradually enlarged, as if it was slowly devouring the milky white air mass, people finally believed it!

After a few breaths, the milky white air mass gradually became smaller, and the silver light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a silver stream, which slowly flowed in the crystal ball.

"The beginning of the foundation! The old man's bright voice sounded again!

"The early days of foundation building!!" the crowd suddenly became noisy after a moment of silence.

The first person of the younger generation in the family, I'm afraid it must be Ye Kai. The teenagers around them all swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and their eyes were full of awe!

In the crowd, Ye Meijing frowned lightly, staring at Ye Kai, who slowly withdrew his palm in front of the crystal ball with a calm face.

His eyes were in a trance, as if he saw three years ago today, when Ye Liangchen withdrew his palm from the crystal ball.

It's just that Ye Liangchen's expression was more arrogant and dazzling that year!

Looking at the silver light in the crystal ball, the indifferent face of the old man in charge of the inspection on the side also showed a rare smile, and said to the young man:

"Kai'er should have only succeeded in building the foundation recently, right? Why didn't you report it earlier, so that we old men could be a little prepared. ”

"Yes, Grandpa. Sun Er was also lucky to succeed recently, and he has been consolidating his realm in the back mountain a few days ago, and he only came out yesterday. The boy replied respectfully.

"Good! Yes, he is worthy of being a good boy of my Ye family. Step aside. The old man smiled and stroked his beard and said.

Ye Kai turned around quietly, and then slowly walked in front of the decadent young man at the back of the crowd under the blazing gaze of everyone.

"Ye Liangchen. When he arrived at the young man's side, Ye Kai paused and nodded at Liangchen, with a faint smile on his cold face.

"Ye Kai, at that moment just now, I suddenly seemed to see my former self! It's just that if I had half as calm as you are now, I wouldn't have so many people laughing at me now. Liangchen said bitterly.

Ye Kai is one of the few brothers after his downfall.

"Liangchen, you said before, you have to become strong, you have to go out and see the outside world! cheer up, you can get back on your feet!" Ye Kai said with a smile.

The slightly immature but pretended to be calm tone made Liangchen's heart warm.

But when he thought of his current situation, the little confidence he had just raised because of Ye Kai's words disappeared again.

"It was before, and now it's now!" Liangchen smiled self-deprecatingly and said perfunctorily.

Facing the former role model, Ye Kai frowned slightly, and said seriously:

"Liangchen, you have always been my guide. I don't know why, now that you've stopped, I know you're going to be ahead of me again!"

Ye Kai's tone was resolute and sincere, as if he was praising something that was originally like this.

Liangchen looked at his solemn appearance, and the flame that had been extinguished in his heart seemed to be about to break through the ground again!

But just now, the picture of his thin mana, wriggling like a small worm, flashed in his mind again.

The fire disappeared as if it had been poured with cold water.

"You're really exalting me! It's just because of a practice logbook!"

"Let's go, goodbye!" Liangchen chuckled and walked out lonely.
