"You tell me seriously, have you really thought it through?"

Ling Zhi and Lin Hai leaned their backs against the haystack, both of them had small grass in their mouths, Lin Hai looked at Ling Zhi and said. Ling Zhi looked up at the sky, his eyes becoming long and long.

"Seriously, of course"

"We all belong to the bottom of this huge empire, and the world we live in is also the narrowest world, we are like the frog in the well that the old gentleman said in the school, we don't know the vastness of the sea"

"However, this is also very likely to be crushed, aren't you afraid?"

Lin Hai said solemnly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Isn't it good that we are like this, although we are poor, we may not necessarily have to worry about life"

Hearing this, Ling Zhi turned his head to look at Lin Hai, and raised his head into the air again.

"You also said that our current life does not necessarily have life worries, the underlying meaning is that there is still a certain possibility of life worries, right?"

Lin Hai was dumbfounded for a while, because he really didn't know how to answer.

"In the back kitchen, that fat man has always looked at us unpleasantly, because he and several other butlers have been full of personal pockets, and we have found us as thorns in the flesh, and he is constantly stumbling on us, finding fault with us, and it is useless for you to reason with such a person, only to beat him hard to make him afraid of you."

"In that place of the guard office, the guards in those mansions bullied people from other departments internally, coerced by force, and were the most domineering among all departments, and externally these guards blackmailed merchants, and even secretly forced good people to become prostitutes, forming an interest group."

"Besides, in the maid's place, which father and mother are willing to send their girls to these wealthy families to serve those masters, and those maids will be bullied by the adults in the mansion one day if they can't keep them, and who will they complain to?"

"Those dancing girls in the dancing girls, performing during the day and dedicating themselves at night to survive in this mansion, this is the city lord's mansion where we are, this seems to be gorgeous and majestic, but it is a battlefield of cruel and ruthless struggle"

Ling Zhi said faintly, this is the most direct experience he has had since he worked in the City Lord's Mansion, because he has seen many things with his own eyes, so he said these words to Lin Hai beside him today.

Lin Hai was choked by Ling Zhi's words for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.

"What if one day, these people attack us, if we are just a small guy in the back kitchen, do we have the power to protect ourselves, maybe we will become two bones in the mass grave outside the city, eaten by wild wolves"

Ling Zhi knew that Lin Hai didn't know how to answer, so he continued to ask.

Lin Hai looked at Ling Zhi in surprise, the calmness generated by these words was explosive for him, and it was difficult for him to digest these words quickly.

"According to what you say, then we really can't sit still, Ling Zhi, you're right, it's true that I'm too casual."

Lin Hai's eyebrows also rose with a hint of worry.

Ling Zhi sensed the fluctuation in his heart, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder.

"You can just guard the back kitchen, Du Ruoran's side we will also give a proper push, and strive to pull that fat man down, you do that position, anyway, you are as fat as him, haha"

When Ling Zhi said this, Lin Hai was immediately amused.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered"

Ling Zhi said lightly.

In the small dilapidated house where Ling Zhi lives.

"Boy, you're too weak, you need to take care of yourself"

As he spoke, Elder Duan took out a ring that was shining with a dark luster.

"Do you know what it is?"

Duan Lao asked rhetorically.

Ling Zhi looked at the dark ring, which was carved with a burst of runes, emitting a burst of brilliance, like a slowly flowing cloud.

"I don't know"

Ling Zhi replied honestly, because he really didn't know what it was, but he was sure that it was definitely not a simple ring.

Duan Lao had long known Ling Zhi's reaction, and with a movement of his palm, a white luster shot out and threw it directly onto the ground, only to see that some dead branches and the like that emitted a faint scent of herbs immediately appeared on the ground.

"What is this?"

Ling Zhi's eyes widened, and he was horrified. Where did these things come from, why did they suddenly appear here? It's unbelievable.

"What is this, in fact, this is not uncommon among real martial artists, this is the Qiankun Ring, you can follow your own mind to collect a large number of things, saving unnecessary trouble"

"The reason why this kind of ring is called Qiankun ring is because"

Duan Lao's faint words made Ling Zhi feel a little frightened in his heart, he had never heard of this thing in the City Lord's Mansion, he looked at Duan Lao cautiously and asked.

"Old Duan, this Qiankun ring is very valuable."

"It's not precious, anyone who has reached a certain level of martial arts cultivation can refine it, but the quality is different."

Old Duan said as he picked up one of the dried herbs.

"This is the innate quenching herb, soak this herb in water, and add this heart powder," Duan Lao said as he picked up a small bottle and said.

"These two are two-pronged, used to soak the whole body to achieve the effect of refining the body"

After Ling Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder on his face.

"Old Duan, why are you helping me so much?"

"Hehe, I was also temporary, looking at you and saying that you wanted to get a glimpse of the whole world, I couldn't help but think of my ambition when I was your age, and I was also the same ambition, after stepping into the martial arts, I was determined to break out of my own world, starting from Xizhou, all the way to experience, all the way to improve my martial arts, with the broadening of my horizons, the world I was in contact with became more and more vast, and finally the martial arts also reached a not low realm"

Duan Lao's tone was long and long, as if he had traveled through the sea of time, with a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.

"It's far away, so I look at you, as if I see my own shadow, so I want to pull you, it's like seeing a puppy on the side of the road, and I feed you food with pity, it's not a big deal"

"You ......"

Ling Zhi felt angry and funny in his heart, is there such a metaphor. Through the observation of the past few days, he knew that Duan Lao was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he silently kept this kindness in his heart.

"Quick, go boil a pot of hot water"

Duan Lao instructed Ling Zhi to say, and Ling Zhi hurriedly went to boil water.

Soon Ling Zhi boiled the water, Duan Lao nodded, so he threw the Congenital Quenching Grass into the steaming water, and as soon as the Congenital Quenching Grass entered the water, it immediately melted into the water, turning the color of the water into dark green.

Then Duan Lao picked up the bottle containing the heart protection powder, opened the cap of the bottle and sprinkled the heart protection powder into the water, "This heart protection powder can protect your heart from the erosion of the medicinal effect."

"Take off your clothes and go in"

Duan Lao said lightly.

Ling Zhi didn't react for a while, Duan Lao couldn't help but get angry, and slapped him on the head, "What are you rubbing into?"

Ling Zhi had to take off his clothes and slowly enter the water.

"Hiss"

As soon as he came into contact with the water, Ling Zhi felt that it was not water, and this green and faint water was like a hundred thousand small green insects gathered together, looking like water.

"You hurry up"

Duan Laoshi couldn't stand it anymore, and directly pushed himself forward with one palm.

Ling Zhi "grunted" into the water, and in an instant, Ling Zhi felt a pain of ten thousand insects eating bones coming out of the bone marrow.

"Old Duan, what is this, it's so itchy and painful"

Ling Zhi wailed for a while, his hands kept beating in the water, splashing a dark green splash.

"Boy, do as I say, close your eyes, fix your body, don't move your hands, and feel this medicinal power with your heart"

Duan Lao said categorically, his hands directly pressed Ling Zhi's arm and plugged Ling Zhi's mouth at the same time, so as not to bite his tongue while enduring the pain.

Ling Zhi immediately closed his eyes and fixed himself in the water.

"Sneer"

Millions of small insects were biting at their own flesh at the same time, their faces turned pale, and painful sweat was dripping from their foreheads and cheeks.

"Don't talk, just listen to me"

Duan Lao said.

"This is the process you have to go through, of course it is painful at first, but it is extremely beneficial to your future martial arts path, now you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, it is a good time to forge your body, I have to say that you have a considerable talent for martial arts, so that you can lay a good foundation, which will help you enter a higher realm"

I don't know if Ling Zhi can hear Duan Lao's words, he is enduring countless pains, and gradually he has lost the perception of his body.

In the perception, Ling Zhi suddenly found that every trace of flesh and blood on his body was slowly decreasing, and suddenly, Ling Zhi felt a cone pain spread all over his body, like the pain of piercing a fingernail with the tip of a needle, spreading all over his body.

The human finger can be said to be the most dense part of the nerve, once this part is cut by a sharp blade, the pain must be condensed, and now Ling Zhi is suffering from this pain all over his body.

Suddenly, Ling Zhi's body was like a sharp knife stirring in his internal organs, countless flesh and blood were shattered, blood was dripping, Ling Zhi wanted to scream loudly, but his mouth was sealed to death, and he couldn't scream this pain was difficult to express.

Ling Zhi felt that the blood vessels, meridians, bone marrow, and every part of his body were as if they were being slashed with a knife, and then chopped into minced meat.

Ling Zhi was breathing frantically between his mouth and nose, his chest was rising and falling violently, his whole body was red, and his breathing was extremely unsmooth.

"Huhuhuhu"

The ocean formed by boundless pain suddenly submerged Ling Zhi, and the ocean entered Ling Zhi's body like mercury with a cold roar, wreaking havoc on Ling Zhi's meridians.

Pain was originally a feeling, but now the pain that Ling Zhi endured had become materialized in his senses, and it was an existence that people could touch, which was extremely terrifying.

It is difficult to describe the pain of broken bones, five horses and corpses, and broken muscles and bones, and Ling Zhi is enduring unimaginable pain to outsiders.
