Chapter 3: Opportunities

In the next few days, Ding Qi also went up the mountain with all his heart, trying to find a few anchovy plants. But maybe it was a few days in a row before, when he found herbs, he had used up Ding Qi's good luck. These days, Ding Qi has not gained much.

On this day, Ding Qi carried a basket full of firewood on his back and came down from the mountain dejectedly.

As in the previous days, there was nothing to be gained today.

However, after returning home, Ding Qi remembered another thing, but he couldn't help but be happy.

This thing is that Ding Qi's second uncle is coming.

Ding Qi's second uncle, named Ding Shan, is Ding's father's brother. When he was young, he went out and broke in. I heard that there have been some achievements outside.

Ding's father and this second uncle have an excellent relationship and often have contacts. Whenever the second uncle came, Ding's mother would always pack some dried mountain goods for the second uncle to take back.

Whenever the second uncle comes, it is also the happiest time for the Ding family brothers and sisters. Because of the second uncle, he will always bring some delicious and interesting things to their brothers and sisters outside the mountain.

In order to entertain guests at home, there will also be a rare meat meal. The last time Ding Qi's mouth took up meat, it was when the second uncle came.

The second uncle came earlier than Ding Qi expected, and arrived at noon the next day.

After eating, the second uncle, who had not come for a long time, chatted with Ding's father and Ding's mother.

The topic of several people quickly talked about the adventures and life of Ding Qi, the second uncle, over the years. Ding Qi stood by honestly and listened very carefully.

Ding Qi has long known that Ding Shan is half a Jianghu person, taking care of business for a Jianghu gang. This made Ding Qi, who was full of curiosity about the world of rivers and lakes, very concerned. I want to hear more about the rivers and lakes from this second uncle.

Unexpectedly, in the second uncle's conversation, something that Ding Qi was quite familiar with appeared.

In the conversation between Ding Shan and the Ding family's parents, the word 'true qi' was mentioned.

Ding's father and Ding's mother obviously didn't know what the so-called true qi was, and they didn't care. Ding Shan also did not intend to explain in detail in this regard. The content of the conversation, soon to leave from this aspect.

Ding Qi, who was on the side, didn't want to let go of this opportunity to investigate.

He was too curious about the martial arts rivers and lakes and wanted to know more about the world of rivers and lakes.

After hesitating for a moment, Ding Qi asked Ding Shan about the matter he had mentioned earlier, about True Qi.

After some inquiry, Ding Qi confirmed that the warm current in his body now was indeed the true qi mentioned in the rivers and lakes, which made Ding Qi very happy.

However, after learning that Ding Qi actually had true qi in his body, this incident caused Ding Shan to be surprised.

After that, Ding Shan couldn't help but inquire about the specific situation of the so-called true qi in Ding Qi's body, and after comparing it with the characteristics of the true qi he knew, Ding Shan finally initially believed that what flowed in Ding Qi's body was the true qi of people who practiced martial arts.

Next, Ding Shan looked at Ding Qi with a strange expression with a smile for a while, and then a frown, which made Ding Qi's heart full of doubts. He really didn't understand why the true qi in his body would make the second uncle react so much.

After knowing that Ding Qi had true qi in his body, in the face of Ding's father's puzzled look at him, Ding Qi, the second uncle, also said the reason why he behaved so strangely just now.

From the next conversation between the second uncle and his father, Ding Qi probably figured out the reason.

The Jianghu sect where Ding Shan is located is called Qingyun Sect. In Jingzhou, which is located in a remote area, the government is weak, and there are many sects, it is considered a large sect. The sect is divided into inner and outer doors, and Ding Shan is an outer disciple.

Every year, the Qingyun Sect recruits a group of inner disciples from the outside.

Of course, not everyone can participate in the sect's recruitment of inner disciples, and someone needs to recommend them. With Ding Shan's status in the sect, he is not qualified to be recommended. However, after learning that Ding Qi had true qi in his body today, Ding Shan's heart moved.

The Qingyun Sect recruits disciples and needs to be recommended, but it is not without exceptions. For example, some martial arts wizards with excellent qualifications will be recruited exceptionally.

At such a young age, Ding Qi has a true qi in his body, and there is a great chance that he can be included in the door.

Ding Shan was so out of shape this time, just wanted Ding Qi to give it a try.

Ding's father is an honest mountain man, and he has an instinctive fear of things like 'Jianghu' and 'sect', but under Ding Shan's repeated explanations, he also knows that if Ding Qi can really join the Jianghu sect, it will be much more promising than learning a craft or something.

Even if you want to be rich, it's not impossible.

Thinking of this, Ding's father, who was originally a little hesitant, finally agreed to Ding Shan's proposal.

According to Ding Shan, as an outer disciple, he is not qualified to finalize this matter. It is also necessary to specially ask people from the sect to check on Ding Qi again to confirm the final situation.

After informing the sect of this, he would come over again and take Ding Qi over for a preliminary test.

Sending Ding Shan out of the village, Ding Qi looked at the figure of the second uncle gradually moving away, and his immature face was full of excitement.

Ding Qi, who is not yet thirteen years old, has a face and figure, between a child and a young man, and his appearance is very ordinary. But in the past two years, listening to the mysterious and complicated stories told by Lao Zhangtou, many things have taken root in his heart, making his mind much more mature than his peers.

Similarly, those stories of the rivers and lakes also made Ding Qi eager to see the outside world.

Looking at the second uncle in the distance, Ding Qi knew that his wish was likely to come true.

Half a month later, in Ding Qi's expectation, Ding Shan took a carriage and came to Ding Qi's house again. The second uncle told him that they were going to the city this time and asked the people sent by the Qingyun Sect to check Ding Qi's body and see if the warm current in his body was really true qi.

If the inspection is passed, in more than a month, it will be the time for the Qingyun Sect to recruit inner disciples every year. Ding Qi will be sent to the Qingyun Sect along with the others for the final assessment.
