Chapter 1 Describing the withered youth
Pidan Prefecture, one of the nine states in the Floating Cloud Continent.
The Flare Empire, one of the weaker empires of the dozen empires in Pidan.
Cupola, a relatively remote city at the southernmost tip of the Radiant Sun Empire.
In the distance, the white clouds are long, wanting to gather and disperse, and the afterglow of the sunset breaks through the clouds and erupts, bringing a few traces of warmth to the cupola city.
The warm sun shines on the rolling mountains, and the cupola city under the mountains seems small and insignificant.
Cupola City was originally called Falling Water City, in the long river of history has been nameless, until more than a thousand years ago a bull fork named Chen Chongtian was born, leaving many bloody stories, creating many brilliant achievements, Falling Water City became a star in the Floating Cloud Continent for a while, Falling Water City was renamed Cupping City, taking the meaning of soaring to the sky.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and this bull fork suddenly disappeared when he was in the middle of the day, and his whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown. Cupola City lacks the illumination of the aura of this bull fork character, and there is no successor, so it will return to blandness, even worse than before.
In the eyes of outsiders, the cupola city is backward and weak, and is often nicknamed the cupola city.
Liu Mingjie, the city lord of Cupola City, the head of the Liu family.
Liu Mingjie still loves this small city very much. Although the city is not vast and rich enough, as its controller, as the core of the city's power, Liu Mingjie easily enjoys the glory and satisfaction brought by power.
In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Mingjie is definitely proud of the spring breeze, and he is so happy and satisfied that he doesn't want it.
The right to have it. As the city lord of Cupola City and the head of the Liu family, he is undoubtedly the core power holder of the city, and there are tens of thousands of loyal elite soldiers and strong generals under his command.
Ask for money, have money. Although Cupola City has declined, the once glorious heritage still exists, and the resources at Liu Mingjie's disposal are very rich. As the largest family in Cupola City, the Liu family naturally has a deep family heritage, and as the head of the Liu family, Liu Mingjie enjoys absolute authority in the control of resources.
To be strong and powerful. Many years ago, Liu Mingjie had cultivated to the pinnacle of the small world realm, with exquisite martial arts and fierce tactics, and he was the first person in the sky-high city.
To have beautiful women. Yuanpei's wife, Sun Sulan, is dignified and generous, beautiful and gentle, and the maid in the family is also young and lively, beautiful and beautiful.
Life is like this, what a regret!
But Liu Mingjie was very distressed in his heart, and he knew that he was suffering.
Because, he encountered a big, big problem.
It was so big that he tried his best, tried his best, and solved it for a long time.
However, until now, this problem has not been solved.
The root of the problem is that he has a son.
A very, very smart son, Liu Guanyu.
Learning everything is a matter of learning, drawing inferences from one another, and touching the bypass. He began to cultivate at the age of ten, and at the age of thirteen, he broke through to the eighth level of the Small World Realm, known as an immortal genius who is rare in a hundred years.
But bad luck came, maybe the heavens were jealous of their talents, and at noon on a clear sky, a thunderbolt suddenly crossed the void in the depths of the endless sky and fell directly on Liu Guanyu.
Then, a strange thing happened, Liu Guanyu was unscathed, but his realm fell from the eighth level of the small world realm to the first level overnight, and all the black hair on his head turned white, his face was extremely old, and he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.
The more terrifying thing is still to come, no matter how Liu Guanyu cultivates, his realm is like a pool of stagnant water, there is no movement at all, and his body is getting thinner and weaker, and he looks like an old man in his sixties and tens.
The only thing to be thankful for is that his power is growing day by day, to an astonishing degree.
Liu Guanyu had such a strange disease, of course he had to be treated.
Of course, his parents were anxious, and Liu Mingjie, as a father, tried his best to find famous doctors, find masters, and diagnose and treat countless times.
As a result, the cause cannot be found, and the disease cannot be cured.
Therefore, Liu Mingjie is worried!
Guanyun Pavilion in the City Lord's Mansion.
Guanyun Terrace in the Guanyun Pavilion.
Liu Guanyu, who was described as withered, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, obviously in the process of cultivation.
Although his cultivation had not advanced at all, Liu Guanyu's cultivation had never stopped, and he spent most of his time cultivating every day.
The exercise that Liu Guanyu is now practicing is called the Innate True Qi Heavy Building Carrying Method, which Liu Mingjie bought from the largest auction house in Pidan Prefecture for a lot of money. This exercise is said to be obtained from the ancient tomb of a big person, it is the best exercise for cultivating the small world realm, it is extremely sought-after, at the time of the auction, the bidding was extremely fierce, and even the two major families of Pidan Prefecture participated, and finally Liu Mingjie took the big risk of offending the two major families, and finally succeeded in the bidding.
Of course, Liu Mingjie did not make such superb exercises public, but privately passed them on to Liu Guanyu.
Liu Guanyu could clearly feel that the speed of generating true qi when cultivating this exercise was definitely not slow, but the true qi in the dantian did not increase.
He could vaguely feel that the true qi generated did not dissipate, but was somehow always sucked out by his body.
His small body is like a bottomless abyss, and his true qi is always gone, without a trace, and he can't fill it no matter how he fills it.
Long.
The crisp sound of birdsong came faintly, breaking the silence of the early morning, a ray of sunlight quietly poured on the body, the beads of sweat on the forehead looked crystal transparent in the sun, and the slightly flushed cheeks showed the color of erection.
Liu Guanyu's eyelashes moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.
"Still not entering the country?" Liu Guanyu muttered, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his inner thoughts fluctuated.
"I think I've gotten up early in the dark for the past two years, cultivated hard, overcome unimaginable difficulties for others, and paid unimaginable hardships for others, why am I still hovering at the first level of the small world realm so far!
"Why was it that I was able to break through so quickly, but now I can't enter the realm no matter how much I cultivate!"
"God, are you playing with me? What about the eyes of justice and fairness? Are you really asleep!"
Liu Guanyu raised his head, his slightly thin body seemed to tremble slightly, and his angry eyes stared at the lofty and cold sky, as if he was telling and questioning.
Long.
"However, I am really unwilling to give up like this!"
"Maybe, hold on a little longer, and a miracle will happen!"
Liu Guanyu comforted herself, and her eyes gradually flashed with a resolute color that did not match her age.
Although he didn't make any progress in his cultivation, he still persevered every day.
The father didn't give up, the son didn't give up!
They are all persevering, all looking forward to a miracle!
After finishing his cultivation, Liu Guanyu hummed a song and walked out of Guanyun Pavilion.
"I'm a little bird, I want to fly, I want to fly, but I can't fly high......"
Castle Lord's Garden.
This is a unique building complex, large and small mansions are high and low, scattered, although not very tall and magnificent, in this cupping city, but it is also quite majestic, magnificent. The top of the building is decorated with a variety of cornices and feet, and all kinds of lifelike carvings are embellished in the meantime, and the four corners of the top of the main garden are upturned, but there is a statue of a green dragon, a white tiger, and a phoenix Xuanwu, which is full of majesty.
In the middle of the courtroom, a middle-aged man in a green shirt sat on the desk, with a pot of fine wine, two glow-in-the-dark glasses, and three delicious fruits on the table. The two classes of ladies in the court are singing and dancing lightly, singing and chanting, and the melodious sound is very beautiful.
The man in the green shirt was none other than Liu Mingjie, the city lord of Cupola City, but at this moment, he seemed to be flying out of the sky, and he didn't have much heart to appreciate everything in front of him.
After a while, a group of ladies were dancing vigorously, but the city lord waved his hand.
"Stand down!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, the song and dance stopped, and all the women responded in unison, and the fish came out.
In the blink of an eye, there was silence in the courtyard.
The city lord's heart was not at peace.
His son's problems were like a hard, heavy boulder that lay across his heart.
What to do?
City lord Liu Mingjie meditated hard, but there was no good solution.
Finally, he thought of the mysterious chest that had been passed down for generations. It is said that the ancestor once inadvertently saved an immortal, and the immortal felt the grace of his rescue, promising to help once in the future and leave a token.
The token was locked in a box and passed down from generation to generation.
Several generations have passed, how much effect that mysterious box can have, the city lord Liu Mingjie is really not sure, but the ancestors have passed down the teachings, and this box cannot be used unless the family lives and dies.
Is it time for the family to survive? Apparently not!
But it is Liu Guanyu's life and death!
Liu Mingjie decided to use that token, no matter how much resistance there was, regardless of the serious consequences.
For the sake of his son, he can't care so much!
