In March, the breeze is already carrying waves of warmth, the weather has been a bit gloomy these days, and a spring rain is brewing.

Yuhua City is located in the southeast of Longyuan Province. If it were placed in the Dawu Dynasty, it would be just one of the 5,760 cities in the 48 provinces across the country. If placed on Yufeng Continent, it would be just an inconspicuous speck of dust in the Milky Way.

That's all.

In the evening, due to the increasingly gloomy sky, the Qin family in the south of Yuhua City had already turned on the lights.

The Qin family is the second largest family in Yuhua City. The family territory covers thousands of acres, with hundreds of tall buildings lined up in rows. The lights are twinkling among them. From a distance, it looks like the Milky Way has fallen into the mortal world.

But compared to the bustle outside, the Qin family's study room, Langxuan Pavilion, is still as quiet as before.

At this moment, Qin Yi was putting the book "Continental Chronicles" he had just finished back to its original place on the bookshelf.

Qin Yi is sixteen this year. He has a face like a crown, eyes like stars, and a tall figure. More importantly, he has an indifferent temperament, as if nothing in the outside world can distract him.

"From three years ago to now, I have read a total of 1,750 books, but this is less than one thousandth of the total number of books at home." Looking at the rows of bookshelves stretching deep in front of him, Qin Yi sighed.

He took a breath and said, "I heard that the Royal Academy of the Great Wu Dynasty contained hundreds of millions of books. I really don't know how many people are needed to manage so many books."

Looking at the sky outside the window, Qin Yi lit the candles in the room and planned to choose another book to read at night.

There was a sudden banging sound at the door of Langxuan Pavilion.

The sound was loud and rapid. It didn't sound like someone was knocking with hands, but more like kicking the door with their feet.

"Come in." Qin Yi frowned and said.

The wooden door opened with a bang, and a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old with a bun and a fringed emerald green skirt walked in.

The girl has fair skin and cute appearance, but when she looks at people, she always has a domineering aura, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Young master, the third master asked you to go to the meeting hall and discuss something with you." The girl called Qin Yi "young master", but there was no respect at all in her tone, and there was even a hint of disdain.

I am afraid that if Qin Yi was not the eldest young master of the Qin family, she would not even look at Qin Yi.

"Uncle San is looking for me?" Qin Yi frowned slightly.

"The patriarch is here, hurry up." The girl said bluntly.

Hearing the words "patriarch", Qin Yi's heart suddenly felt like a needle pricking his heart, but his face remained calm: "Second uncle is here too, you go back first, I will be there in a while."

When Qin Yi was the only one left in the room again, he took a few deep breaths to calm down, then straightened his clothes, pushed out the door, and walked towards the meeting hall.

The Qin family occupies a very large area, and the houses are connected by corridors. Hundreds of houses are connected together. Qin Yi walked for almost a meal before he arrived in front of the meeting hall.

The main door of the meeting hall is twenty steps wide, and the nanmu door is more than one foot high. The two stone lions at the door look extremely majestic.

Two Qin family guards were wearing fine steel chain armor and holding two palm-width long knives. They stood on both sides of the meeting hall like javelins. When they saw Qin Yi approaching, a complicated look flashed in their eyes at the same time, including pity and others.

regret.

Qin Yi stood at the door of the meeting hall for a while to breathe. He remembered that the last time he came here was three years ago. Qin Yi would never forget the scene at that time in his life.

At that time, my father, who was still the head of the Qin family, suffered a heart attack while competing with the head of another aristocratic family in Yuhua City, the Fang family, for the title of the first aristocratic family in Yuhua City, and was beaten to death by the other party.

Qin Yi lost his mother when he was young. After his father died, he was so grief-stricken that he vomited three bowls of blood on the spot and fainted. When he woke up, his strength that had reached the realm of muscle training suddenly dropped to the realm of muscle training.

He is the only one who can reach the state of Jinjin training at the age of thirteen, and can read through the history of the Qin family!

Qin Yi was the hope for the revitalization of the Qin family back then!

However, after the huge blow of his father's death, Qin Yi could only recuperate for three years. His only entertainment was reading. In the past three years, although most of his body had recovered, his strength could not be improved.

Now, his strength was far inferior to that of his peers back then, but now they are easily left behind.

Shaking his head, Qin Yi calmed down, crossed the threshold, and walked into the meeting hall.

The Qin family's meeting hall is a hundred paces long and wide. Usually, a thousand people can hold meetings in it without feeling crowded. The roof beams are more than three feet high, and eight pillars that require two people to hug are arranged on both sides.

The floor is paved with red-flamed concrete bricks. This kind of bricks can release heat in winter and penetrate cool air in summer. The price of a small piece as big as a palm is enough to support a family of three for a year.

On the wall facing the gate is a huge tiger head made of pure copper, which is as tall as a man. The tiger's eyes are shining with golden light, so powerful and domineering that it seems to burst out of the wall. Ordinary people will even feel weak in their legs when they see it.

At this moment, on the big mahogany chair under the tiger's head, a man in his forties, wearing a red cloak, with clear cheeks and an air of calmness and self-power, is sitting on it, with his waist straight, as if

Like a steel plate, the gas state is as towering as a mountain and as deep as the sea.

This person is Qin Yi's second uncle and the current head of the Qin family - Qin Hongyi.

At Qin Hongyi's starting position, there is a man with a stooped figure sitting. His face is somewhat similar to Qin Hongyi's, but his smiling face makes it difficult for people to like him. This man is Qin Yi's third uncle.

Qin Hongren is now in charge of the Qin family's finances.

"My nephew has met the master of the house, third uncle." Standing at the foot of the steps, Qin Yi bowed and saluted. Unlike his third uncle who always had a flattering smile, his attitude towards Qin Hongyi was neither humble nor arrogant.

The head of the family has unique rights and status in the family, so even Qin Hongyi's wife and children can only call him the head of the family when they see him.

Qin Yi lowered his head, but he could clearly feel that his second uncle Qin Hongyi's eyes were on him, and a strong pressure came towards him, as if he was depressed before a storm, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"No gifts."

Qin Hongyi's voice came, and Qin Yi felt the pressure on his body lighten.

"Yier, how is your body recovering now?" Qin Hongyi's majestic voice sounded again.

"Thank you, Master, for your concern. After three years of nursing, my body has recovered 90%."

"What about strength?"

Qin Yi's breath was stagnant, he gritted his teeth, and then said: "Restored to the third level of meat refining realm."

Qin Hongyi said oh, but there was no sound again.

The culture of Yufeng Continent is martial, and fire is respected. As long as families have the conditions, they will train their children to practice martial arts from an early age.

Martial arts, that is, physical training, is divided into nine realms, and each realm is divided into nine levels.

The first level: skin refining. This is the most basic level of martial arts. Cultivating to this level will make people stronger, have longer breathing, and stay away from diseases.

The second level: meat refining. This is also the state that Qin Yi is in now after falling. This state exercises people's muscles, making them symmetrical and strong, and increasing their strength. A punch can reach a force of one hundred kilograms.

, five enemies!

The third level: membrane refining. After reaching this level, a protective membrane will appear in the human body, and the ability to resist blows will be strengthened. A punch can have a force of 150 kilograms and can knock an adult away.

His movements are agile, as fast as a galloping horse, and he can defeat ten people!

The fourth level: Muscle training. The muscles and muscles in the whole body are fused, and the body's flexibility is greatly enhanced. It can stretch and accumulate strength like a bow, and throw out a punch with a strength of at least 220 kilograms and can defeat twenty people!

If a teenager with average qualifications starts practicing at the age of four, he will probably reach the fourth level at the age of twenty or so. However, three years ago, Qin Yi had already reached the fourth level at the age of thirteen, and could

He is said to be extremely talented, a genius among geniuses, and is regarded as the leading figure among the younger generation in Yuhua City. Everyone believes that his future is limitless.

The fifth level: bone refining. Once you reach this level, the two hundred and six bones in the body are as hard as iron, like steel. Every piece of the body can become a murderous weapon. The power of a punch can reach 300 kilograms. As long as it can reach 300 pounds,

If you reach this level before the age of 10, even if you are just entering the bone refining realm for the first time, your family will focus on training you, because in the bone refining realm, there are fifty enemies!

At that time, Qin Yi, perhaps even under the age of fourteen, reached the realm of bone refining and became a strong man that had never appeared in the history of the Qin family, or even any family in the entire Yuhua City! It caused a sensation in the entire Jinghua City, and even

At that time, people from the capital city of the Great Wu Dynasty sent people from thousands of miles away to inquire, and this matter became a very sensational topic at the time.

The sixth realm: blood sacrifice. The realm of bone refining is a threshold, and many people will not be able to cross it in their entire lives. But once they break through, the hair and marrow are cut off, and all the blood in the body is replaced, they can never forget it, and the strength of the whole body is the same.

Then, you can focus on any part of the body at any time, and your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. The strength will reach 500 kilograms. A single punch is enough to break a thousand kilograms of stone tablets and defeat hundreds of people!

The seventh level: Sacrifice to the marrow. If you reach this level, not only Yuhua City, but also the royal family of the Great Wu Dynasty will actively woo you. Once you reach this level, you will be as fast as a flying arrow, and your punch will be as powerful as eight hundred kilograms.

He is a strong player on his own, against five hundred enemies!

The eighth level: body sacrifice. Reaching this level, the rich and powerful true energy in the body is endless, like the ocean of water, condensed out, killing people a hundred steps away, a person can face a fully armed army, and can become a

The mainstay of the family, the enemy of thousands of people!

Qin Yi's second uncle Qin Hongyi in front of him is a master in the realm of body sacrifice!

The ninth level: Soul Sacrifice. This is the limit of human body cultivation, and it is also the threshold to the next great realm. In the Soul Sacrifice Realm, the soul and body are integrated, and the whole body is condensed into a whole. Within eight hundred steps, three thousand enemies can be seen clearly.

!

Qin Yi's arms hung at his sides, quietly waiting for Qin Hongyi to speak.

About half a stick of incense passed before Qin Hongyi's voice came from above: "Yi'er, you should know that Tiansheng Academy will recruit disciples in Jinghua City in twenty days. This time our Qin family will be assigned two disciples in total.

Quota.”

Upon hearing the words Tiansheng Academy, Qin Yi's eyes shone with a divine light, and he even trembled because he was so excited.

"You should also remember that one of the two quotas at that time was reserved for you."

"Yes." Although Qin Yi's voice was calm, there were waves in his heart.

I have been waiting for this moment for so many years!

Tiansheng Academy, one of the top ten sects on the mainland, has a status that far exceeds that of the Dawu Dynasty. As long as you can enter the sect, even if you are just the lowest handyman disciple, it is an extremely honorable thing. If you can become a low-level disciple, in the Dawu Dynasty

Getting a title is a piece of cake! If there is promotion in the future, it will be a piece of cake to be crowned king or prime minister!

Qin Yi's wish for so many years is to enter Tiansheng Academy, become the supreme power, and dominate the world!

Now that he got the news that Tiansheng Academy was finally coming to accept disciples, how could he not be excited?

"Yi'er, I only have one question now. Do you think your current strength is enough to enter Tiansheng Academy?" Just when Qin Yi was extremely excited, Qin Hongyi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Qin Yi's head.

fall.

Hearing that there was something in Qin Hongyi's words, Qin Yi hurriedly raised his head and looked towards him.

"Yi'er, the head of the family and I brought you here today just to discuss this matter with you." Qin Hongren, who had been silent before, now said: "To accept a disciple at Tiansheng Academy, you must have certain qualifications.

You are strong and extremely talented. If it were you three years ago, we would have no objection, but now..."

"Third uncle, what do you mean?" Qin Yi stared at Qin Hongren with a smile on his face.

"Yi'er, don't you understand what Third Uncle means?" The smile on Qin Hongren's face became even brighter, "If we send you to Tiansheng Academy now, it will be like embarrassing our Qin family. Others will know, and we

The Qin family in Yuhua City sent a waste whose strength has only reached the level of meat refining. I think the eldest brother is under the influence of Jiuquan and does not want to hear such comments."

Hearing Qin Hongren mention his father and directly call himself a waste, Qin Yi clenched his fists and his heart burned with anger: "Third uncle, the whole family unanimously approved the recommendation for me to go to Tiansheng Academy, and no one objected.

, Although my strength is not as good as before, as long as my body recovers completely, I will soon reach the original level, you..."

"Yier, please stop talking." Qin Hongyi suddenly spoke, cutting off Qin Yi's words, "I have already discussed this matter with your third uncle. This time, one of the two quotas for the Qin family is your hall.

Sister Qin Yuwei, one is your cousin Qin Hanzong. I came to you today just to tell you about this matter. I know you will be dissatisfied. When the time comes, I will ask your third uncle to give you 10,000 Yan Gathering Pills. Even if it is this

Let me compensate you for this."

The countries in the Yufeng Continent have long ago no longer used currency, but instead use the unified Juyan Pill as currency.

According to the market price, one Juyan Pill is equivalent to ten taels of silver in the past. One tael of silver is equal to one thousand penny. And one penny can buy a big cake, which is enough for an adult to eat.

Ten thousand Flame Gathering Pills can be said to be a huge fortune!

Moreover, the greatest effect of the Juyan Pill is that it can be taken directly and transformed into a continuous flow of true energy, which enters the limbs and bones to enhance martial arts strength. Therefore, in Yufeng Continent, qualified families take the Qi Judan to their heirs from an early age.

, rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, etc., only the poor and livestock will eat them.

But compared to the admission qualifications of Tiansheng Academy, let alone 10,000 Flame Gathering Pills, even one hundred thousand, one million, or tens of millions of Qi Gathering Pills are impossible to compare with!

Entering Tiansheng Academy, the status of the Qin family will be greatly enhanced. As long as the qualifications are not bad, after entering Tiansheng Academy, the strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and you can even break through the limit of physical training, the soul-sacrifice realm, and enter the greater flame soul realm!

When the time comes, it will be possible to turn your hands into clouds and rain, or even live forever.

Qin Yi has been waiting for the opportunity to enter Tiansheng Academy. Now that his place was casually given away by Qin Hongyi and Qin Hongren with 10,000 Flame Gathering Pills, how could he not be angry!

"Second uncle!" Because of his anger, Qin Yi changed his name to Qin Hongyi, "Qin Yuwei is your daughter. She has been extremely talented since she was a child. In recent years, she has also reached the realm of bone refining. I have nothing to say about this. But Qin Hanzong

Woolen cloth?"

Qin Yi glared at Qin Hongren: "Qin Hanzong's talent is average, and he can reach his current strength only because you, the father, Third Uncle, piled up countless Flame Gathering Pills for him! I'm afraid, Third Uncle, you have problems in the family's accounts.

You know what’s going on better than anyone else.”

"Unbridled!" The smile on Qin Hongren's face suddenly disappeared. He slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up. His beard was angry, and the true energy in his body was flowing fiercely. He was also a warrior who had reached the realm of blood sacrifice. At this moment, he was so angry that he showed murderous intent without concealing it.

Chong Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was unafraid and looked up at Qin Hongren like Mount Tai.

"Qin Yi! Don't be slanderous! Back then, with your father supporting you, you could do whatever you wanted in the house. Now that your father has been dead for three years, your strength is only a waste in the meat-refining realm. Even the disciples in the house are useless.

Why not, what qualifications do you have to enter Tiansheng Academy!"

"I……"

"Qin Yi, do you want to disobey the family master's order?" As soon as Qin Hongyi opened his mouth, his momentum surged, like a storm and huge waves rushing towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's current strength was far inferior to Qin Hongyi's. He was immediately hit by the wave of air and took three steps back. Qi and blood surged in his chest, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Since you want to get a place to enter Tiansheng Academy, you must show strength that is trustworthy. I can give you a chance. If you can reach the realm of bone refining in twenty days, I will give you the place in Qin Hanzong

, how?" Qin Hongyi looked at Qin Yida.

It takes at least ten years for ordinary people to advance from the realm of meat refining to the realm of bone refining. Some people even fail to reach the realm of bone refining in their lifetime because of poor qualifications. Now Qin Hongyi seems to have given Qin Yi a chance, but this opportunity

It’s nothing more than a fantasy and an idiot’s dream!

"Twenty days, twenty days..." Qin Yi forcibly swallowed the blood in his mouth, clenched his fists tightly, and even dug his nails into his palms, and blood flowed down his knuckles.

"Okay, okay, okay." Qin Yi said three good words in a row, his face was livid, and his eyes slowly swept over Qin Hongyi and Qin Hongren.

Qin Hongyi looked forward and no longer paid attention to Qin Yi, but Qin Hongren was shocked by Qin Yi's sight.

With the faces of these two people deep in his mind, Qin Yi turned around and walked out of the meeting hall without saying goodbye to the head of the family.

After Qin Yi left, Qin Hongren's tense body relaxed and he cursed: "This little beast dares to contradict me now. With his current level of meat refining, he still wants to enter Tiansheng Academy. What a joke."

Qin Hongyi snorted coldly, which made Qin Hongren tremble.

"Family, head of the family... If this little beast really reaches the realm of bone refining in twenty days, you won't really plan to give him the place in Hanzong." Qin Hongren said with a smile.

"Do you think it's possible?" Qin Hongyi said coldly.

"I'm worried too." Qin Hongren was a little nervous.

"My order is that on the day Tiansheng Academy comes to accept disciples, except for the elders and above in the clan, as well as some guards, Qin Yuwei, Qin Zonghan, and others, no one is allowed to leave the Qin family. Violation of the family law will serve."
Chapter completed!
