In the dark cave, there are jagged rocks and moss growing messily on the stone walls.
The cave is extremely humid and makes people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, a group of people were tightly surrounding a young man who had fallen to the ground and was unconscious, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Jade Dragon, Jade Dragon..."
After a series of low-pitched calls, the boy lying on the ground moved his fingers slightly, gradually waking up from his coma.
Xu Yulong tried his best to open his eyes, and what he saw were sallow and thin faces, full of worry.
"Yulong, you finally woke up! That bitch was so harsh, I thought... thank you, thank you!"
A woman with a sallow complexion, dirty skin, and messy hair covered her face and cried softly.
Behind her, a little girl of seven or eight years old timidly hugged her arm tightly, her big eyes full of fear.
She didn't dare to make too much noise, because if she made too much noise, a group of thugs would beat him up.
Xu Yulong grinned, and the injury on his chest suddenly affected him. He couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, but he still managed a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm in good health. It's not a big deal if I get a beating!"
"Hmph! But it was Xiaotian who hit you. You always regarded him as your brother, but you didn't expect him to be such a rebellious kid!"
An old man banged the crutch in his hand hard and said with an angry look on his face: "It is not a pity for such a person to die as a dog for a cult!"
Xu Yulong smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything.
Not long ago, the cult disciples who invaded the village took a fancy to this little girl and wanted to rape her.
So he stepped forward and bit the cult disciple and wouldn't let go.
Although he is young and strong, how can he be a match for the cult disciples who set out to practice?
He was knocked to the ground in a matter of seconds and several ribs were broken by kicks.
It happened that Xiaotian came to deliver food to the villagers. When he saw this scene, he kicked Xu Yulong to the ground as he struggled to get up. He also beat him very hard and beat him until he was unconscious.
Unconscious.
Then he knelt down to the cult disciples with a flattering smile on his face, flattering and begging for survival.
Just before Xu Yulong fell into coma, Xiaotian suddenly leaned over and slapped him hard. At the same time, he felt that Xiaotian seemed to have stuffed something into his arms!
Xu Yulong hurriedly reached out and touched his arms, feeling a hard and cold object in his arms.
Before he could feel it carefully, the thing trembled slightly, cut his finger, and then disappeared.
Xu Yulong suddenly felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and he passed out again. The concerned calls of the villagers rang in his ears.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dizziness of weightlessness finally disappeared, and I could see light again.
Xu Yulong looked around and was shocked to find that except for a path that went straight upward in front of him, as if it could reach the sky, the surroundings were surrounded by thick fog.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the mist. It was like being cut by thousands of fine sword blades, and it instantly became dripping with blood.
Xu Yulong was in pain and hurriedly took back his palm, looked at the fine wounds on his fingers, and fell into deep thought.
"this

Where is it? Why did I suddenly come to such a strange place?"
An idea flashed in Xu Yulong's mind, his eyes lit up, and he murmured: "Is it because of the thing Brother Xiaotian gave me?"
Xu Yulong's nose suddenly felt sore, and he felt that he had a place to vent his grievances.
"I knew that Brother Xiaotian would not be a traitor, he must have his own reasons! Otherwise, why would you secretly stuff something into me?"
After a long time, Xu Yulong calmed down and looked intently at the path in front of him.
The path is only made of very simple bluestone slabs. It seems that after a long time, it has been exposed to wind and sun, and has been eroded by the years, and the surface is uneven with tiny holes.
It looks very dated at first glance, but it is still immortal!
The bluestone slabs are arranged step by step, so densely packed that you can’t see the end at a glance.
It feels like standing at the foot of a majestic mountain, looking at the path leading to the top of the mountain is very shocking.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yulong stepped on the first bluestone slab.
The next second, he staggered to the ground.
Because he felt a huge repulsive force coming from the bluestone board, preventing his feet from falling!
What is going on?
"when!"
A grand bell rang, and a strong will invaded Xu Yulong's mind.
"If you want to climb a mountain, reach the strongest point in every realm!"
Xu Yulong's face was filled with shock when he discovered that a dark figure was standing on every step on the previously clean and fresh bluestone road.
At the feet of the black shadow, there is a strange scene that is constantly rising and falling.
Broken soldiers and broken swords, mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
There are endless corpses crawling at the feet of each black shadow!
Xu Yulong swallowed hard and thought to himself: "Does it mean that people will die while climbing? If you want to climb the mountain, you have to challenge the black shadows on each step? Are the corpses crawling at the feet of those black shadows the people who failed the challenge?"
Why is this mountain so scary!
And there is only this path forward, and behind it is the mist with countless sharp blades hidden behind it.
There is no turning back!
Xu Yulong was a little timid for a moment, but when he thought of the villagers who were suffering in dire straits, his eyes instantly became firm.
"Every realm? Does it refer to the realm of cultivation?"
Although he knew something about spiritual practice, he didn't know how to do it at all!
Brother Xiaotian told him that if he wants to practice cultivation, he must have a "method"!
The initial stage of practice is the "Three Refinements Realm".
Refining skin and flesh, refining bones and blood, refining spirit!
The Third Refining Realm is not simply a matter of strengthening the body, it can be easily achieved after breaking through one's physical limits.
Just like the first refinement, after tempering the skin and flesh, it can ignore the wounds of ordinary swords, which is very impressive.
Xu Yulong believes that as long as he is given the practice method of the Third Refinement Realm, he will definitely master it in the shortest possible time!
In this way, they will be able to protect themselves and give the villagers some peace of mind.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But where can I find the method of the Three Refining Realm?
Xu Yulong was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears.
Suddenly, Xu Yulong's eyes lit up, he stared thoughtfully at the black shadow on the first step, and laughed.
After patting the dust on his body a few times, Xu Yulong slowly walked up to the black figure and said very seriously: "If I step into the Third Refining Realm, I will definitely defeat you easily!"
Something unexpected happened.
The black shadow that stood there as if it had not changed for thousands of years actually twisted its neck slightly and looked down at the young man who was not afraid to look at him, with a hint of ridicule on his hazy face.
"Just you? A guy who can't even get into the Third Refinement Realm? I'll crush you like an ant!"
The sound was loud and deafening, as if it came from across endless time and space.
Xu Yulong suppressed the shock in his heart, tried hard to keep the smile on his face, and chuckled: "Of course! As long as you give me this chance!"
"You want to ask for the cultivation method from me? You are wishful thinking! Opportunities are created by yourself, why should they be given by others!"
Black Shadow was a little angry, feeling that such a ridiculous guy really didn't understand what he was talking about!
Xu Yulong was not intimidated. Instead, he smiled confidently and said loudly: "Of course I created the opportunity myself. Otherwise, why would it be me and not someone else who is standing in front of you?"
The black shadow fell into silence, and then laughed loudly: "It's interesting! In the past ten thousand years, I have defeated countless challengers in the Third Refining Realm, and I have never been defeated! I have gained something from talking with you today on a whim!"
"Forget it! I'll just give you this chance!"
"After careful investigation, I discovered that I still have some connections with your ancestors! I will teach you the three-refining realm method of your ancestors!"
As he spoke, the black shadow stretched out his finger, and a golden light poured into Xu Yulong's spiritual platform.
Xu Yulong felt the three-refining method suddenly unfolding in the spiritual platform. He was so beautiful that a trace of excitement flashed on his face.
"However, since I have given you something, you should also give me something in return!"
Xu Yulong's face froze and he stammered: "What...what kind of retribution?"
"Since you said that you can easily defeat me after entering the Third Refinement Realm, then repay me with the taste of failure! I have never tasted the pain of failure in thousands of years, so repay me with this."
Xu Yulong touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said cautiously: "What will happen if I fail? What I said is that I failed..."
The black shadow stopped talking and stamped his feet lightly, causing a bloody storm.
Xu Yulong shrank his neck and said to himself: "Come on, I understand! Isn't it just death..."
"Seven days later, I will fight you with the first refinement!"
Xu Yulong waved his hand feebly: "I know, I know, seven days is enough for me to help the villagers escape, and then I will come and defeat you!"
"Shameless talk!"
After saying that, the black shadow stamped his feet violently, and Xu Yulong felt like the world was spinning again...
"Damn it, your sister, it's not over, right? You're the only one who knows how to stamp your feet, right? When the time comes, I'll make you lie down as soon as I stamp my feet!"
