Qixuanwu Mansion is located in Tianyun City, the capital of Tianyun Kingdom, backed by Dazhou Mountain. It is the only Wufu mansion established in Tianyun Kingdom by Qixuangu, a martial arts sect with a 600-year heritage.
As the Martial House of the great sect, the Seven Xuanwu Mansion has many inherited martial arts, and there are martial arts masters to teach them. The government's threshold for recruiting disciples and students is also quite high, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as one in a million.
On a scorching summer day, at the foot of Dazhou Mountain, on a grassland in the forest, a teenage boy, with cloth strips wrapped around his fists, stood bare-chested in front of a thick and thin tree, punching heavily Hit the tree trunk.
"Peng!" "Peng!" The dull voice echoed in the forest, and the bark of the big tree that was hit was obviously sunken, revealing the off-white wood, with blood stains on the wood.
The boy's name was Lin Ming, and he possessed a third-grade martial arts talent.
In Tianyun Kingdom, half of the people have no talent in martial arts at all, and are not suitable for martial arts at all. More than 80% of the other half have only first-grade martial arts talents, and even if they practice martial arts, they will not be able to achieve anything. About 90% of the remaining less than one tenth have second-grade martial arts talents. If you practice martial arts diligently, you can do it He has made a lot of achievements, but he has little hope of becoming a martial arts master.
Lin Ming's third-class martial arts talent can be said to be top-notch, barely considered one in a hundred, but with this martial arts talent, he is still a lot short of going to the Seven Profound Martial House!
Lin Ming knew this very well. He happened to grow up with Lin Ming, and the beautiful girl Lan Yunyue who cultivated with him had the same third-grade talent as Lin Ming. government.
The Tianyun Martial House is affiliated to the Tianyun Kingdom, and it has only been eighty years since its establishment. The skills, inheritance, and background are very limited, and the inheritance of martial arts skills is very important to warriors. If there is no good martial arts skills, if you want to complete the training In the physical stage, condensing the meridians to lead to a higher realm of martial arts is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The period of congealing the pulse is the realm that many warriors yearn for, and it is also the first watershed in the way of martial arts. Once the pulse is congealed, the lifespan of the warrior will be greatly increased, and he can be named a nobleman.
And in terms of cultivating pulse condensing warriors, Tianyun Martial House is far behind Qixuan Martial House.
Lin Ming was devoted to martial arts, so naturally he also dreamed of going to the Seven Profound Martial House. If the talent is not enough, he can only rely on hard work and perseverance to impress the examiners, but the hope is not very high, and once he fails the exam to enter the Martial House, it will take half a year to waste Waiting for the next time, for warriors, time is also very precious.
Based on this, coupled with Lan Yunyue's reasons, Lin Ming decided to enter the Tianyun Martial House.
Lin Ming and Lan Yunyue have practiced and played together for so many years. Although they are still young and haven't reached the point of discussing marriage, there is already a vague affection between them, and Lin Ming's parents also have feelings for Lan Yunyue. Yunyue likes it very much, and often asks Lan Yunyue to have dinner at home.
Lin Ming and Lan Yunyue had always had a good impression of each other, there was only a thin piece of window paper left between the two of them, and they would pierce the window paper when they were a little older.
Lin Ming attached great importance to the agreement between the two of them, and he made up his mind that even in the Tianyun Martial House, he would still attack the Pulse Condensation Realm!
However, Lan Yunyue did not show up on the day of the Tianyun Martial Mansion's entrance exam.
Lin Ming originally thought that Lan Yunyue hadn't arrived because of certain things, but later he found out that Lan Yunyue had entered the Qixuanwu Mansion, and the person who recommended her to become a disciple of the Qixuanwu Mansion was the talented young master of the Zhu family, the first family in Qingsang City Zhu Yan.
Although Lin Ming was only fifteen years old, he had traveled outside with his parents since he was a child, and his mentality was much more mature than that of children of the same age. He knew very well what it meant for Zhu Yan to send Lan Yunyue into the Seven Xuanwu Mansion.
The children of a big family like the Zhu family choose their wives first not because of the woman's family background and appearance, but because of her talent in martial arts. The offspring with high talents are very likely to give birth to geniuses. Although Lan Yunyue's family background is mediocre, her third-rank talent is already very good among girls. In addition, Lan Yunyue herself is beautiful and has outstanding temperament, so it's normal for Zhu Yan to like her.
For Lan Yunyue, the Seven Profound Martial House and the Tian Yun Martial House are incomparable in terms of opportunity, glory, and possible future achievements, especially the temptation of stepping into the Pulse Condensation Realm to prolong youth for decades. It is irresistible to girls.
Faced with such a temptation, I am afraid that not only Lan Yunyue, but most girls would also choose Zhu Yan, especially Zhu Yan himself is not bad in appearance, and his family background and future are far better than Lin Ming.
Although he understood it in his heart, it was impossible for Lin Ming not to be hit by this matter. He locked himself in the door for three days. After three days, he walked out of the room, ate, slept, and practiced. He practiced even harder than before. .
Before Lan Yunyue left him, he had made up his mind to break through the pulse condensing stage and pursue a higher realm of martial arts, and Lin Ming is still the same now. If it was said that he still had something in his heart before, then after Lan Yunyue left, his heart towards Wu was strengthened even more.
He decided to take the Seven Xuanwu Mansion exam instead, even though the process was very difficult.
"Peng!" "Peng!" The dull sound of fists hitting the trunk still echoed in the forest. This tree is called Ironwood. Not only is the bark extremely tough, but it also has strong healing ability. Many martial arts beginners will choose This kind of iron wood is used to practice strength.
Lin Ming threw out countless punches, and finally exhausted all his strength. He sat on a stone while supporting the tree trunk, took out herbs from the backpack on the ground, crushed them, and applied them on his scarred fists. Martial arts practitioners must always Use herbs that treat the body, otherwise it will leave hidden wounds, and if the hidden wounds accumulate too much, it may be disabled or even dead.
This herb is called Iron Thread Grass. The reason for this name is that although the green juice squeezed out of the Iron Thread Grass has healing properties, it hurts like a wire brush when sprinkled on the wound.
Lin Ming gritted his teeth to endure the pain, took out a new white cloth from the package, and wrapped his fists round and round.
In fact, there are many herbs that are more effective than iron thread grass, and have mild medicinal properties and are not painful or itchy, but all of them are expensive, and Lin Ming's family background simply cannot afford them.
Lin Ming's parents ran a restaurant in Green Mulberry City, but the property of this restaurant did not belong to Lin Ming's parents, but to the Lin family of Green Mulberry City.
Although Lin Ming was also surnamed Lin, he was separated from the main family of the Lin family by several generations of blood relatives. The main family handed over some not-so-important properties to distant relatives. Lin Ming's parents relied on running this restaurant to make a living. With a fixed income and a portion of the commission, if the money is used for living, it is naturally enough, but it is not enough for Lin Ming to practice martial arts.
Originally, Lin Ming's parents hoped that Lin Ming could inherit the family business and become a shopkeeper of a restaurant, but seeing that Lin Ming was devoted to martial arts, they took out all their family savings to buy healing herbs for Lin Ming.
Now, the family's savings are being consumed bit by bit, but Lin Ming is still at the first level of body training.
The body training stage is the first stage of martial arts training. It uses true energy to temper the body. There are six levels in total, the first level is strength training, the second level is muscle training, the third level is visceral training, the fourth level is tendon strengthening, the fifth level is forging bones, and the sixth level is consolidating veins. After that, the warrior will enter the stage of gathering elements.
After smearing the wound with iron wire grass juice, Lin Ming rested for half an hour, allowing the wound to fully absorb the medicinal power of the herb. Just as he stood up and was about to continue practicing boxing, a fat man was holding a delicate fist in his hand. The boy with the long sword walked out of the woods. When he saw Lin Ming, he said with a smile, "Brother Ming, today is the registration day for the entrance examination of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion. Didn't you forget that you are still practicing boxing here?"
This boy was named Lin Xiaodong, and he was slightly younger than Lin Ming. He and Lin Ming grew up together, and they were very close brothers.
Lin Xiaodong was actually a direct descendant of the Lin family, but even though he was a direct disciple, a direct disciple also had a high or low status in the family. Lin Xiaodong happened to belong to the lower class. Lin Xiaodong's parents were also in business and lived very close to Lin Ming's family.
Lin Ming glanced at Lin Xiaodong, then turned to the tree stump, and said, "There are a lot of people signing up at the beginning, and it takes an hour or two to queue up. Waiting there is also a waste of time."
"Damn, don't let this time go, you can't do it." Lin Xiaodong said exaggeratedly. He approached the tree stump, saw the fist marks and blood stains on the tree stump, and looked at Lin Ming's bandage-covered body. With both hands, he took a breath and said: "You are so crazy, even iron and wood have been beaten like this by you, with such a training method, if you only rely on iron thread grass, your hand will be injured, or it will be useless! "
Lin Ming didn't say a word. The journey of martial arts was a struggle against the sky. With his third-grade talent, it was very difficult for him to step into the pulse-condensing stage of the sixth level of body training. If he didn't fight hard when he was young, there was absolutely no hope. If he did, Although it is possible to accumulate hidden injuries and become disabled, it is also possible to succeed before the accumulation of hidden injuries occurs. Once successfully enters the pulse condensing period, the true essence tempers the body, and the hidden injuries will disappear.
For Lin Ming, this was a desperate fight, and it was also a gamble that put his life on the line.
Lin Xiaodong sighed, took out a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it layer by layer, and said, "Brother Ming, this is for you."
Lin Ming looked back, but saw a blood ginseng plant that was as bright as blood lying quietly in the cloth bag. This blood ginseng plant seemed to be at least a hundred years old. It is enough, and the medicine is mild and powerful. This ginseng plant is worth at least one hundred and fifty taels of gold, which is equivalent to Lin Ming's family's annual income.
Lin Ming paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't take this blood ginseng."
Brothers belong to brothers, but this blood ginseng is too precious. Lin Xiaodong's family is only the bottom line of the Lin family's direct descendants. Although the family background is much better than Lin Ming's family, if it is used for Lin Xiaodong's cultivation, it will not be so rich.
But Lin Xiaodong forced the blood ginseng to Lin Ming, and said, "This blood ginseng is bought for you. I practice three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. I have a lot of dark wounds on my body. It's a waste to use it. You don't need it." I just bought it for nothing, and it would be boring if you push it back. In fact, my father doesn’t have high demands on me. He just hopes that I can keep the title of the Lin family in my life, and don’t let the next generation lose this title. gone."
Lin Ming was silent for a while, but still put away the blood ginseng, and said, "Okay, I'll take this blood ginseng, and aim at this ginseng tree, I also have to break through the pulse coagulation state."
"Haha, it's just like what you said, not only to break through the Pulse Condensation Realm, but also to overthrow that Zhu Yan, that son of a bitch, I have long since disliked him!"
Zhu Yan... Lin Ming let out a sigh of relief. Zhu Yan had already been accepted by the Seven Profound Martial House, and he was a senior disciple of the Heavenly House. His strength had reached the peak of the third level of body training. The goal of surpassing Zhu Yan is not because of Lan Yunyue, but the pursuit of martial arts is bound to cross one threshold after another, and climb one mountain after another, and Zhu Yan will be the first among them.
…
At the foot of Dazhou Mountain, there is a building complex that stretches for twenty miles. This is where the Qixuanwu Mansion and the Tianyun Martial Mansion are located. Today is the registration day for the entrance examination of the Qixuanwu Mansion. On the road, a bustling crowd gathered.
Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodong had deliberately delayed the time, but when they reached the square, they realized that they had underestimated the number of applicants. The applicants had lined up in three lines, each of which was tens of meters long. hour.
"Wait." Lin Xiaodong sighed and stood helplessly at the end of the line.
"En." Lin Ming nodded.
"Hey, there are very few people over there." Lin Xiaodong pointed to a small door not far away, there were only a few sparse people there, and a red carpet was spread on the ground.
"That's the noble district..." Lin Ming noticed the words written on the sign.
Since the Qixuanwu Mansion is established in the Sky Fortune Kingdom and uses the land, buildings, and resources of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, it will naturally give some face to the rich and powerful, and even many affairs of the Wu Mansion will be handed over to the rich and powerful Enrollment.
"Damn." Lin Xiaodong muttered unhappily. Nobles need royal canonization, which is a kind of hereditary honor. Although the Lin family is rich, they are not nobles.
Lin Xiaodong was about to scold the nobles for being moths or something to find some psychological balance, but at this moment, the door was pushed open, and two young men came out from the door, one of them was wearing a blue dress, wearing a delicate long sword on his waist, With a golden crown on her head, she looks very handsome.
Lin Ming saw that this man frowned slightly. This man was Zhu Yan.
The Zhu family's daughter married into the royal family and became the favorite concubine of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is about to inherit the throne. Because of this, the Zhu family became the unsuspecting first family in Qingsang City, and was named a nobleman, so Zhu Yan was able to escort her. Lan Yunyue entered the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion.
"Fuck, I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, I ran into a ghost." Lin Xiaodong muttered unhappily.
Zhu Yan walked out side by side with the young man, and a few attendants who were waiting outside the aristocratic area followed behind them. Judging from the situation, Zhu Yan brought the young man to sign up. The two walked towards Lin Ming all the way. will meet.
With Lin Ming's status and strength, he might be at a disadvantage if he ran into him, but Lin Ming didn't dodge, and just watched Zhu Yan walk over calmly.
Zhu Yan's footsteps paused slightly, and he saw Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodong. At first he was slightly startled, then frowned, seeing Lin Ming made him extremely unhappy. Although he had snatched Lan Yunyue into his hands, she refused all intimacy before getting married. Obviously, Lan Yunyue still had Lin Ming in her heart, and she felt a little guilty. She would choose her only because of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion. , no man can tolerate another person in his future wife's heart, and Zhu Yan is the same.
"Your name is Lin Ming, isn't it? I really didn't expect that you followed here. The first level of physical training, you want to test the Seven Xuanwu House?"
The irony in Zhu Yan's words was obvious, he would never allow Lin Ming to enter the Seven Profound Martial House, even if Lin Ming's strength was not worth mentioning to him, but as long as this guy stayed in the Seven Profound Martial House for a day, how would he want to It was impossible for Lan Yunyue to forget Lin Ming.
"Whether I pass the exam is my problem. I didn't follow anyone to come here. I came to Qixuanwu Mansion just to pursue my martial arts."
"Martial arts? You, a boy with middle-to-high talent, dare to say that you want to pursue martial arts? You're really brazen!" Zhu Yan said, the bones of his knuckles made a soft sound, and then the long sword around his waist shed its shell as if it had a spirituality. out! Zhu Yan grasped the sword and slashed in the air. With the sound of piercing sword energy piercing the air, a faintly visible ripple swiftly cut off half of the canopy of a big tree not far away.
With the rustling sound, a large number of branches and leaves fell to the ground, and the eyes of the people around them widened. After all, most of them were about the same age as Zhu Yan, and they were not even a few years younger, but Zhu Yan's martial arts realm Keep them out of reach.
Zhu Yan swung this sword in order to give Lin Ming a bad start and let him understand the gap between the two of them. "I am a fourth-grade talent. I practiced martial arts at the age of twelve, and I have used countless panacea. Now that I have entered the Sword Sect of the Heavenly Mansion of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, and my cultivation is at the peak of the third level of physical training, it is only the first glimpse of the threshold of martial arts, and you are only practicing physical training. First level, An dare to speak nonsense about martial arts!"
Zhu Yan spoke in a domineering way, and Lin Xiaodong became furious, "The surname is Zhu! You were only born two years earlier than us, what are you talking about, if the age is changed, I will beat you with one hand!"
Zhu Yan frowned, turned to look at Lin Xiaodong, casually took a step forward, and the true energy in his body erupted, "Who are you?"
"I..." Lin Xiaodong was oppressed by Zhu Yan's aura, and a word got stuck in his throat. He took a step back, swallowed, patted his chest and said, "Master Lin Xiaodong, remember it!"
"Lin Xiaodong? Hmph, I can count on one hand the children of the Lin family. You are a clown, what right do you have to talk to me? Not only you, but also you, Lin Ming. If it wasn't for Lan Yunyue, you wouldn't have talked to me at all. Qualification for dialogue! Let me advise you, you must have self-knowledge to be a human being, Lan Yunyue is not something you can afford."
In Green Mulberry City, there are very few girls who have reached the third grade of talent and have excellent looks and temperament, and most of them are concentrated in big families, and there are serious conflicts of interest among big families. How can outstanding girls marry into other families and strengthen their bloodlines? The man will be asked to marry, that's why Zhu Yan said so.
"One thousand taels of gold, don't appear in front of me in the future!" Zhu Yan said, and took out a stack of gold tickets from his sleeve.
The people around were stunned, one thousand taels of gold, this is an extremely exaggerated amount, enough for a martial artist in the physical training stage to use high-level medicinal herbs within two or three years.
"One thousand taels of gold, you sent the beggar!" Lin Xiaodong pushed back the gold ticket. In fact, he just swollen his face to pretend to be fat, and one thousand taels of gold was a huge fortune for him.
Zhu Yan shook his hand, and a strong shock force directly knocked Lin Xiaodong out. He looked at Lin Ming coldly, waiting for Lin Ming's answer.
Lin Ming took a deep breath, and said slowly and forcefully: "Zhu Yan, in terms of talent, I am not as good as you, and in terms of family background, I am even worse than you, but martial arts is not only about talent and financial support, but also the most important thing—Xiang Heart of martial arts!"
"You practice martial arts for wealth, status, and vanity. I practice martial arts for the pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts. The martial art of martial arts is not for the talented, nor is it for the powerful and rich. It is for those who are dedicated to martial arts. One day, I will surpass you!" Lin Ming almost stuttered the last sentence, his voice was so clear that everyone nearby could hear it clearly.
The talent of the third grade wants to catch up with the talent of the fourth grade, and there is a huge gap in family background, this kid is really crazy!
Hearing Lin Ming's words, Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Okay, very good! I'll be waiting for you!" After he finished speaking, he put away the gold ticket, and with a buzzing sound, the long sword Returning to the sheath, Zhu Yan took a deep look at Lin Ming, turned around and left.
