In the blink of an eye, the day was noon.

On the golden-scaled ladder, the gladiatorial battles of several family members are also gradually becoming white-hot.

Halfway up the Golden Scale Mountain, it is already in front of you.

Qi Mo, the son of the Qi family, still takes the lead with his family body method and his long internal strength cultivation.

He had a resolute countenance, staring ahead, not paying attention to the pursuers behind him, nor caring if his shred of wisdom could resist the demons in his heart and support him to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain.

He didn't want to go that far.

He gritted his teeth and walked forward silently, all he had in his heart was the bottle of immortal medicine on the mountainside not far away.

Indomitable, impatient and aggressive.

This is contrary to the path they took as a family.

The Qi family follows the same path as the old turtle, with a long internal force and a calm mind. Thirty years ago, it was the old ancestor of their family, with that long turtle aura, who defeated the top grandmasters of other families, and made the Qi family the head of the seven great families.

Qi Moxiu's turtle kung fu is also calm, from childhood to adulthood, steady and steady, peaceful, generous to others, and a gentle person.

But now, for the sake of his family, he must be impatient, he must be aggressive, he must make sacrifices, and he must do his best, just to be the first to reach the halfway point of the mountain and take down the Immortal Court Pill.

Compared with the ethereal immortal fate, Qi Mo wanted to make his family stronger, and he wanted to use this bottle of immortal medicine to cultivate a supreme grandmaster again, so as to continue to maintain his position as the head of the seven great families of the Qi family and the Wu Dynasty.

He has read the history books of the Wu Dynasty, and he has also read many history books of the previous dynasty, and has seen too many stories of the family of gate lords from prosperity to decline and finally collapse.

He is a member of the Qi family, and he doesn't want the Qi family to be like the family that suddenly declined in the long river of history, and finally end up with a clean white land.

Therefore, Qi Mo resisted the torment of his heart and demons, and was ruthless, gritting his teeth and climbing.

Now, the gap between the seven families has gradually been revealed.

Qi Mo ranked first, Lin Jiejia came from behind, surpassing Shen Ju'an, ranking second, and Shen Ju arranged third.

The other few people have gradually fallen behind, and they are no different from the other people who are leisurely moving forward on the ladder, and even a few people have been overtaken by the round monk and Wu Sizi.

Because these families were completely out of rhythm, they were invaded by the demons in their hearts, and they couldn't move an inch, and the defeat was decided.

The winner of this snatching of the halfway mountainside immortal medicine will be produced among Qi Mo, Lin Xiejia and Shen Ju'an.

......

"Senior Sister Xian Yao, who do you think the winner will be this time?"

On the top of the Golden Scale Mountain, the Yuntao Immortals watched this good show of dragons winning pearls, and couldn't help but ask the fairy Yao on the side.

"It should be Lin of the Lin family. ”

"Oh, why?"

The Yuntao Immortal smiled, and didn't seem to agree with the Immortal Yao Fairy's point of view.

"Qi Mo of the Qi family is too reckless to take the medicine this time, their family has never been suitable for such impatient things, and now although he is halfway up the mountain, he is already at the end of the crossbow. On the other hand, Lin Jiejia was not outstanding at the beginning, but he was able to catch up from behind, and he was indomitable, halfway up the mountain is a hurdle, Qi Mo may not be able to get through, and this Lin Jiejia, judging from the current performance, I don't think there is a problem. ”

Fairy Yao's analysis was very organized, but Immortal Yuntao shook his head.

"Senior Sister Xian Yao underestimated Qi Mo's determination to sacrifice for the family. Yuntao Immortal said: "The Qi family belongs to the old tortoise, and the tortoise walks slowly, but in fact, if it really wants to run, it may not be worse than a rabbit." If he is really willing to burn his own origin and get through the final difficulty, he may not be unable to win. ”

"Burning Origin?" Fairy Yao frowned when she heard this.

If he really does this, he can only stop here in this life, and no matter how difficult it is, his longevity will be greatly reduced, whether he can live past the age of forty is a matter of whether he can live past the age of forty, and his body will quickly age, and he will no longer be young and vigorous.

For a bottle of elixir, and a bottle of elixir not prepared for himself, is he really willing to sacrifice so much?

"Senior sister, don't forget, the ancestor of their family, Shouyuan is only one or twenty years old, and the Qi family can't wait for the next thirty years, if you don't want to have an embarrassing situation where there is no supreme grandmaster in the family before the next family competition, this bottle of elixir, the Qi family must take it. This is their only chance. ”

Yuntao Immortal, the alien faction of the Immortal Court, this former mortal, is the most aware of the pain and sacrifice of mortals.

"So, Senior Brother Yun Tao thinks that the winner this time will be Qi Mo?" Fairy Xian Yao's frowning brows stretched, with a smile in her eyes.

"Exactly. It must be his family and ink. ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Yuntao may have missed a situation, what if Lin unloaded his armor from the Jinglin family and burned his own origin?"

Yes, if Lin Jiejia did the same, the victory or defeat of the two would be unpredictable.

"No, there is no such possibility, he Lin does not dare to remove his armor, and he refuses. Yuntao Immortal said categorically.

"Oh, then Senior Sister, I'll wait and see if Senior Brother Yuntao's judgment is right. ”

Fairy Yao was full of energy between her eyebrows, with a hint of suspicion and curiosity, and set her eyes halfway up the mountainside, where Qi Mo and Lin Xiejia were doing ******.

......

The two walked almost side by side, and the difference between the front and back would not exceed half a fist.

The demons above their heads were now the size of giant whales, with huge mouths and bared teeth, as if they were going to devour them and chew them up.

Both of them looked very painful, and Qi Mo had even closed his eyes and just buried his head forward.

Fairy Yao judged correctly, Lin Jiejia was indeed able to catch up, although his situation was not good, but compared to Qi Mo, it was much better.

After a stalemate with Qi Mo for a while, Lin Jiejia exerted his strength again, and slowly surpassed Qi Mo and left him behind.

And ahead, less than a hundred steps, the bottle of immortal medicine was already on the stone platform, quietly placed.

Lin Jiejia gritted his teeth, and with all his might, he endured the torment of the demons in his heart, endured a hundredfold and thousandfold pain, and accelerated his pace.

A hundred steps away, it was there in an instant, but an invisible wall blocked him.

Obviously, the bottle of immortal medicine was close at hand, but he couldn't get an inch.

This invisible wall is the first difficulty in the true sense of the Golden Scale Test, and there are too many people who are blocked from this invisible wall and can only be mortals for one lifetime.

Lin Jiejia is no exception.

He held his breath and condensed, moving forward with all his strength, and doing his best to calm himself down, only in this way could he break through this invisible wall and take that step forward.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the wall stood in front of him, blocking him from the stone platform halfway up the mountainside.

After a few breaths, Qi Mo finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, and in front of him, there was also the invisible wall.

He had his eyes closed, but when he touched the wall, he opened them.

On his side, the hideous-looking Lin Jiejia raised his feet, but he could not fall.

There was a smile on Qi Mo's painful face, as if to say that he was lucky to arrive in time.

After this smile, his face was full of determination.

Death is like home.

"Come, come, come—"

"Bang-bang-bang-"

He really did what the Yuntao Immortal said, to burn his own origin.

Qi Mo, a little turtle born in the Qi family, was born with a turtle shell, was very soft when he was young, and his character was weak, but now that he has grown up, he has become hard and has a responsibility.

The turtle shell is the most important thing for the tortoise, and the tortoise cannot live without the tortoise shell.

He knew, but he had to do it anyway.

Now, he was going to use his hard tortoise shell to burn the invisible wall in front of him, smashing all the barriers in his way.

He wants to use his origin in exchange for decades or even hundreds of years of wealth and prosperity of the Qi family.

"I want to be a family for generations, not a short-lived family. ”

Qi Mo's origin power began to burn, and the origin power that had accumulated in his body was something he had practiced and accumulated little by little by meditating and cultivating since he was a child.

He meditated under a tree in spring when the flowers were in full bloom, under a tree in the summer when he was sweating profusely, in autumn when the autumn wind was bleak and the frost and rain were miserable, and in winter when the snow was heavy and the wind was howling.

Twenty years of hard work, twenty years of long practice, he has never slackened.

But now, this bit of origin that he had accumulated after twenty years of penance cultivation was going to be turned into fuel for the burning of his heart, and it would be burned clean and burned into wisps of black ash.

But he had no regrets, and from the moment he stepped on the Golden Scale Ladder, he had already made this plan.

He knew his own heart and understood that he would not be able to reach the top of the Golden Scale Mountain no matter what, so he would do his best to continue the prosperity of his family for another hundred years.

"Boom-"

Heart fire, up!

The sky was full of fire.

Qi Mo's whole person seemed to be trapped in the fire.

His eyes turned red, his originally young and handsome face quickly crawled with wrinkles, and the black hair on his head turned white as snow in an instant.

It's just that he was in his twenties, and after burning his own origin, he instantly turned into a gray-haired bad old man.

The fire in his heart made the demons above his head sizzle, wisps of black smoke rose into the air, and sparks burst like lights in the daytime.

After this grand heart fire, the demon on his head was burned clean.

He lifted his somewhat disobedient legs, took a step, and stepped forward.

This time, the invisible wall in front of him collapsed, and he took that step without hindrance, and climbed halfway up the mountain.

He staggered to the stone platform, looked at the bottle of immortal medicine on the stone platform, and his hands began to tremble.

Lin Jiejia behind him was still blocked from the invisible wall, but he no longer wanted to cross the invisible wall with a hideous face, and now he just looked at himself with an unbelievable look.

The eyes the size of brass bells seemed to ask him, is it really necessary to do this?

Now, Lin Xiejia is still that high-spirited young talent, and when he gets off the Golden Scale Mountain, he can still be a young man riding a horse on horseback.

And he, Qi Mo, is already an old man in his twilight years, with a sore back and numb legs, he can't do many things anymore, and he can't go anywhere, leaving him with only a bleak evening scene.

Although he has won him now, he has lost a clean line in the rest of his life.

But, is it necessary?

Yes, it is necessary.

Qi Mo stretched out his hand, trembling, grabbed the bottle of immortal medicine on the stone platform, and held it tightly in his hand.

He was trembling all over, because what he was holding now was the strength and prosperity of their Qi family for the next hundred years.

"Lin Jiejia, you don't understand. In this Wu Dynasty, there is only my short-lived Qi Mo, and there is no short-lived Qi family in Beijing. ”
