Seven years later.

Luoyang City is bustling, the roadside stalls are shouting, and the streets of Luoyang are crowded with people.

Right here, a man with a bookish face and a weak scholarly look was striding towards Luoyang Wufu.

If his college classmates saw him, they would be surprised. The academy has completed all ten years of courses, and this kind-looking man has completed them all in only six years. There is not a single gentleman who teaches at the college who does not praise him for his genius and poetry, all of which are unmatched by his peers.

Even in the last year of the academy, all the gentlemen of the academy said that he could leave here completely, and all of them, there was nothing more to teach him. Some gentlemen even said that four years later, Nishikawa Wenbi is very likely to win the championship!

Helplessly, he could only read books in the library of the academy for a whole year. He even wanted to graduate again in four years, but he was persuaded away by his favorite husband.

Here's what the gentleman said, "Liyan, if you stay in Luoyang Academy for another three years, you will waste three years of time." If you can enter the main academy of Xichuan to study, I can guarantee that in three years, you will definitely be shortlisted for the first class in the Xichuan Wenbi!"

This man is Li Liyan!

After listening to Mr. Wang's words, he could only say goodbye to his classmates and Mr. One by One and left the College.

Is he going to study at the Xichuan General Academy? Of course not! His destination is Luoyang Wufu!

Seven years of Xi Wen has made him more bookish, and he has become a lot thinner, and as he gets older, Li Liyan has become more and more handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there are many young girls who have just opened their love in the academy to express their admiration to him.

Of course, he just laughed it off.

No further ado. In a few moments, Li Liyan had already traveled to Wufu. The Wufu is magnificent, carved and jade, and covers an extremely wide area. Entering the main gate, it is divided into three chambers: the outer house, the inner house, and the council hall. Behind it is a small closed courtyard with no view of its entirety. People come and go in the house. After all, the periphery of the frontier is in turmoil all year round, and military generals have a great opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are more likely to be promoted to knighthood than civilian officials. This is why there are far more people who yearn for martial arts than Xi Wen.

Li Liyan walked through the flow of people and came to the council hall, and the first thing he had to do was to gather energy.

As mentioned above, in the council chamber, the family members led the ten-year-old child. Li Liyan, a kid in the age of dancing elephants, if he cultivates martial arts, he should already be able to hold a hard bow. And it was surprising that he had only come here at such an age to condense Qi Yuan.

There was a long queue in the council chamber. The noise was mixed with the voice of the examiner in charge of the guidance of the Wu Mansion:

"The meridians are not connected, the pulse is not smooth, the qi element is not condensed, and there is no way to gather qi, the next one. ”

"The meridians are not connected, the pulse is not smooth, the qi element is not condensed, and there is no way to gather qi, the next one. ”

"The meridians are not connected, the pulse is not smooth, the qi element is not condensed, and there is no way to gather qi, the next one. ”

It can be seen that it is not an easy task to condense the qi element, and it has been three people in a row who have failed to condense the qi element. The parents of the children who fail to condense are disappointed - if they can practice martial arts and practice qi, they will go to a sect in the future, or make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and get an official and a half-job. That treatment is a hundred, a thousand times better than that of ordinary people!

One child after another tried, few succeeded, and most failed. The speed at which the long dragon shortened was very fast, and in less than an hour, it was time for Li Liyan.

The examiner in charge of guidance glanced at Li Liyan and was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down and said lightly: "How old?"

Li Liyan replied: "Fifteen." ”

The examiner didn't ask much, and said calmly: "Feel the essence I have induced for you with your heart, hold your breath and concentrate, and then you can successfully integrate!"

Li Liyan nodded heavily. His path of martial arts cultivation will officially begin from this moment on, and he cannot fail in this under any circumstances! If he fails even the first step, what kind of face does he have to face his father? And what qualifications does he have to face himself?

Taking a deep breath, Li Liyan sat cross-legged on the ground. With a wave of the examiner's long arm, a stream of pure heaven and earth qi was separated from the qi element on his body and slowly flowed into Li Liyan's body.

The essence entered the body, but Li Liyan surged with an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It seems easy for the examiner to separate a trace of heaven and earth qi from his body, but it is actually the same. But for any person who practices martial arts and refines qi, being able to fuse it with the element of dantian can naturally separate it. But you must know that Li Liyan did not condense the qi element back then, so he was able to attract the qi of heaven and earth from heaven and earth. That's where this familiar feeling comes from. Even the current examiners can't take the initiative to attract the qi of heaven and earth from the outside world!

With this familiar feeling, Li Liyan made up his mind. People always subconsciously think that familiar things are controllable, and Li Liyan is naturally no exception.

The qi of heaven and earth flowed through the meridians smoothly and traveled all the way to the dantian. Li Liyan felt that Qi and Yuan were already in the dantian, and he was even more relieved, so he urged the Qi Yuan to converge and begin to fuse.

At this time, an accident happened suddenly, this breath of heaven and earth, just in contact with the dantian inner yuan, let alone fusion, just this contact, has disappeared.

Li Liyan was shocked, he never thought that such a change would happen. It stands to reason that the qi of heaven and earth separated from the qi element should be the most suitable and suitable force for the inner element of the dantian, and if it can enter the dantian, even if the fusion fails, it should be that the two forces are independent of each other, how can it be swallowed by the inner element?

In the eyes of the examiner, there is a hint of weirdness in this matter. Seeing that the power of Qi Yuan had just emerged from this young man's body, it disappeared like ice and snow melted in an instant. Although he felt strange, the examiner could only say regretfully:

"The qi element is not condensed, and the lower ......"

Before he could finish speaking, something happened again. Li Liyan, who had only been silent after only a moment of qi yuan, suddenly burst out with a powerful suction force on himself, and this suction force actually attracted the qi of heaven and earth!

The examiner was stunned for a while, he seemed to remember something, explained to the examiner next to him, and hurriedly rushed out and went straight to the outer house.

It is rumored that there are some geniuses who are born with the power of affinity for the qi of nature, coupled with the strength of the inner element, so when they fuse the qi element, they can guide the qi of heaven and earth of nature, and use the power of fusion to break through the shackles of entering the law realm and directly break through to a higher level.

Even in the "Chronicles of the Central Plains" written by the Third Duke, the first martial arts wizard in the ten years of the Great Friday, the tragic sword of the Sword Sect back then, Li Chengyan, attracted the power of heaven and earth into the body when he fused the qi element. Directly crossed the entire realm of entering the law, and directly reached the first glimpse realm.

He always thought that this was just an exaggeration by the third prince to highlight Lee Seung-yeon. However, today's situation in this young man reminded him that this matter is very likely to be true!

And this genius, if it was born in their Luoyang Martial Mansion, what a great honor it would be!

So he rushed directly into the Outer Mansion and found the Outer Mansion Master in a hurry: "Wei Mansion Lord, something big has happened in the council room!"

"What's the matter, so anxious?" the Wei Mansion Lord frowned and asked. After the examiner who received this guide explained the matter to him, a look of surprise appeared on the face of the Wei Mansion Lord: "Quick! Take me to the council hall! My Luoyang Martial Mansion has this genius, and I will definitely be able to soar to the sky!"

At this time, Li Liyan's body has undergone earth-shaking changes!

The inner element of the dantian does not know how much qi of heaven and earth has absorbed, and gradually reaches a kind of equilibrium, and generally people who have just condensed the qi element will only fuse a trace of the qi element and cultivate it in the dantian.

And Li Liyan's entire dantian inner element has all been fused! And not only in the dantian, but also in the limbs, making him feel indescribably smooth.

Just as he was successfully fused, the two also came in in a hurry.

The Lord of the Foreign Mansion looked excited and asked the examiner, "Is that him?" When he came in, he also felt the flow of the qi of heaven and earth being attracted. Seeing that the examiner nodded, he rushed forward, clasped Li Liyan's shoulders with both hands, and asked:

"Child, what's your name, how old are you this year?" Li Liyan was confused by the situation in front of him, but he still replied truthfully: "My name is Li Liyan, and I am fifteen years old. ”

The examiner silently recited in his heart: Li Liyan, Li Liyan, this son is condensing Qi and gathering yuan in my Martial Mansion, this is a good blessing for my Martial Mansion! Thinking of this, he asked with concern: "What level of Qi Yuan have you reached now?"

Li Liyan's face was inexplicable, he obviously only came to condense the Qi Yuan today, and he didn't go through cultivation, he must only be able to enter the Dharma realm, why did this person ask this?

Although his heart is weird, Li Liyan's seven years of study have allowed him to be happy and angry, and to deal with things calmly. He still replied truthfully: "It should be a heavy entry into the law." ”

Shouldn't it be, the examiner thought to himself. He looked at the Wei Mansion Lord and found that he was also in disbelief, releasing Qi Yuan to inspect Li Liyan's body, and then shook his head in disappointment. He whispered, "How come?"

The Lord of the Wei Mansion had a look of great joy and then great disappointment, shook his head and turned to leave.

Li Liyan and the second monk couldn't figure it out, and the examiner also had a look of pity. recorded Li Liyan's name and age.

Li Liyan spoke again: "I want to stay in the Martial Mansion to practice, is it okay?" The examiner looked at him with a strange expression: "Do you know the standard of the martial arts classification?"

Li Liyan was stunned, he was studying in the academy as soon as he came to Luoyang, of course he didn't know the grading standard of the martial arts.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the examiner continued, "The grading of foreign houses has always been based on age. Generally speaking, if you enter the government at the age of 10 and meet the requirements before the age of 16, you can pass the requirements of the outer government and run for the qualification of the inner government. When you enter the government at the age of fifteen, you need to meet the requirements of others in six years in one year before you can stand out from the outside and be eligible to enter the inner government. The examiner paused again, "The requirement of the outer government is that Qi Yuan cultivation is to reach the first glimpse realm!"

Li Liyan suddenly felt tricky, but the pride in his bones has never been erased. He just found it tricky, but never found it unfinishable. He smiled and repeated to the examiner

"I want to enter the mansion to practice, please arrange a place for me. After saying that, he took out three taels of silver from his bosom and wanted to give them to the examiner.

The examiner shook his head and kindly persuaded: "Do you know what is the record of my academy's promotion in the past year after entering and leaving the Martial Mansion? Within one year, he was promoted from the first level of the Dharma to the sixth level of the Dharma. It is such an achievement that makes the lords of the two mansions inside and outside praise it. Do you still think that you can fulfill the requirements of the foreign government? Judging by your words and deeds, it should not be that you have no place to live, so why waste this year here?"

Li Liyan still stubbornly stretched out his hand, wanting to give the three taels of silver ingots that had entered the house to the examiner! The examiner had no choice but to take it, arranged a place for him to live, reported it, and asked people to take him to the residence for placement.

At this time, only Li Liyan himself firmly believed that as long as he wanted to, there was nothing he could not do! There was no reason for this kind of conviction.

Just because his name is Li Liyan!
