midnight.
On the mountain road outside the village, three people were walking quietly under the moonlight. They were the three members of Xu Ziyan's family. Looking back at the far away village, the three people quietly exhaled at the same time, looking slightly relaxed.
.
Xu Ziyan had gone so far for the first time since he came to this world, and he didn't understand the world at all. At this time, he was far away from the village, so he couldn't help it anymore and asked softly:
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Zhongdu City, which is the ancestral land of our Xu family and the center of the Xu family."
"Dad, will the village chief report our escape to the family? If so, wouldn't we have fallen into a trap!" Xu Ziyan asked worriedly.
"Haha..." Xu Guang laughed twice and said self-deprecatingly: "How can anyone care about little people like us? Let alone the village chief, he may not dare to report such a trivial matter. Even if he reported it, no one would pay attention.
You might even get reprimanded from above."
"Then...why do the people in the village still endure the village chief's power and don't leave the village?" Xu Ziyan asked puzzledly.
"Alas! Yan'er, you don't understand. It's easy to leave the village, but life after leaving the village will become very difficult. Neither your mother nor I have any skills. I really don't know how our family will live after leaving the village!" Xu
Guang's expression suddenly darkened, and there was indescribable pain in his eyes.
"Her father, what should we do when we arrive in Zhongdu City?" Xu's face was full of sorrow.
"Dad, are you familiar with Zhongdu City?" Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Guang with hope.
"It's quite familiar!" Xu Guang sighed, his eyes regained some sparkle, and he said with memories: "I have lived in Zhongdu City for fifteen years. In my family, as long as I am fifteen years old, I have not broken through.
Those on the fifth level will be kicked out of the family's inner hall and go to the outer hall to do menial tasks for the family, while those with worse qualifications will be sent to remote villages and left to fend for themselves."
"father?"
"Dad is only fifteen years old and has not yet broken through to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow, so..., alas~~" Seeing that his wife and daughter seemed to be affected by his emotions, Xu Guang forced a smile and said: "It's okay, at that time I
You were too young and couldn't bear the ridicule of others, so you gave up on yourself and took the initiative to choose this place far away from Zhongdu City. Dad's house still has a high status in the family. Your grandfather is also the elder of the family, and dad still has some
My brother broke through to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow. After so many years, he must have gained a certain status in the family. After we return to Zhongdu City, dad will go find them."
Having said this, Xu Ziyan saw through the moonlight that Xu Guang's face was obviously unnatural, extremely unnatural.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of the three members of Xu Ziyan's family. Xu Ziyan was alerted and was the first to react. When he looked up, it was the village chief standing in front of him with a mocking look on his face.
Xu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was still too inexperienced. If she were more careful, with her first-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, how could she not feel it until the village chief appeared in front of her.
At this time, Xu Guang and his wife also saw the village chief. Xu Guang's whole body tensed up, and then he strode forward to protect his wife and daughter behind him. He looked at the village chief coldly and remained silent. However, Mrs. Xu was already frightened.
His whole body was trembling like chaff. Xu Ziyan suppressed the tension in his heart and secretly raised his level of cultivation to the peak in the Qi Refining Stage. The hands behind his back gradually had gas fluctuations like water ripples.
"Xu Guang, return to the village immediately and marry your daughter to my second son in three days before everything is over. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."
As soon as the words fell, the aura from the eighth level of Houtian suddenly burst out. Xu Guang's body leaned back slightly and immediately stood upright like a pine, and the aura on his body also burst out with all its strength. Xu Ziyan's eyes condensed, and he secretly thought:
"It seems that my father has not given up on cultivation. He has actually reached the seventh level of acquired cultivation over the years."
The village chief glanced at Xu Guang in surprise, but when he saw that Xu Guang only had the seventh level of cultivation, his expression relaxed and he said sarcastically:
"What? Still want to resist?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards Xu Guang. Xu Guang looked suffocated and punched the opponent. The village chief laughed suddenly and punched the opponent in the same way. Just when Xu Guang was there
As he staggered back, a graceful figure blew past Xu Guang like the wind. Under the moonlight, a slender hand was inserted into the village chief's throat.
There was a "click" in the ear, and when Xu Ziyan stopped, he saw the village chief covering his throat with his hands, blood pouring from his mouth, walking backwards, eyes filled with disbelief, gradually becoming dull, and finally
Fall into dust.
Also in disbelief was Xu Guang. He looked at Xu Ziyan blankly, as if the person in front of him was not his daughter. Suddenly, Xu Guang was so excited that his whole body trembled, his eyes showed surprise, and he seemed a little scared.
Everything that happened before my eyes was an illusion. I took two trembling steps forward and asked softly:
"Yan'er, have you entered Xiantian?"
"Yes, Dad, I am already at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage." Xu Ziyan suppressed the turmoil in her belly. This was the first time in her two lives that she had killed someone, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Really?" Xu Guang strode forward and grabbed Xu Ziyan's shoulders with both hands. Because of his excitement, Xu Ziyan's shoulders hurt.
"Dad, you scratched me." Xu Ziyan said with a bitter smile.
Xu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then he let go of his hands in embarrassment, but his eyes were still fixed on Xu Ziyan, hoping to get another affirmative answer from her mouth. Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Guang's worried eyes and couldn't help but feel funny,
Said softly:
"Dad, it's true."
"Show me your luck!" Xu Guang said still worried.
Xu Ziyan smiled helplessly, stretched out a hand, and moved up to the first level of Qi Refining Stage, and saw the water lines on that hand sparkling and undulating. Although Xu Guang had not broken through the innate, after all, he had
After living in the family for fifteen years, he still had some basic knowledge. He recognized it at a glance as a water-based technique at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. After confirming that his daughter had spiritual roots, Xu Guang could no longer hold back his emotions.
Thrilled, looking up to the sky and smiling:
"Hahaha……"
This long laugh seemed to have wiped away the depression in his heart for decades. Xu Guang felt that he had never felt happier in his heart. After calming down from the excitement, Xu Guang asked with doubt in his eyes:
"Yan'er, when did you know that you have spiritual roots? And where did you learn the exercises?"
Xu Ziyan slowly said the words she had thought about for a long time: "My daughter met a female fairy by the river outside the village three months ago. She discovered that her daughter had spiritual roots and taught her her skills.
Law."
"What else did she say to you?" Xu Guang asked anxiously.
"I didn't say anything, I just said goodbye by fate, and then left with my sword."
Xu Guang's face showed disappointment, but he immediately became happy again. He said with a smile:
"In any case, my daughter is a person with spiritual roots and has broken through the innateness. We can return to Zhongdu City openly."
"Dad," Xu Ziyan hesitated and said, "I don't want to join the family immediately. I want to wait until I am successful in my cultivation before considering this matter."
Xu Guang was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why?"
"I don't know the family well. I want to wait until I have the ability to protect myself or understand the family before I talk about it."
"Can……"
"Dad, are you worried about your life after arriving in Zhongdu City?"
Xu Guang had no words, but the embarrassment on his face had already been shown. Xu Ziyan said with a chuckle:
"Dad, don't worry. The female fairy also taught me alchemy and talisman making. Although I have only learned a little bit now, there is still no problem in maintaining our family's life and practice."
"Really?" Xu Guang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't restrain his excitement.
"Really, daddy." Xu Ziyan nodded affirmatively.
At this time, the original worry and uneasiness on Xu Guang's face were wiped away, and his spine straightened up unconsciously. His voice was also much brighter, full of pride and hope for the future, and he waved his hand and said
:
"Let's go back to Zhongdu."
Zhongdu City.
Xu Guang spent three taels of silver to rent a small room in a slum area in the city, with a small courtyard of several square meters around it. Now Xu Guang only has seven taels of silver left in his hand. After decades of hard work, he has also
But she only saved ten taels of silver. After settling down, Xu Ziyan went out with the five taels of silver given by her father. She wanted to go to the pharmacy and talisman shop to buy some materials for alchemy and talisman making, so that she could improve them.
life at home.
After walking for nearly a morning, Xu Ziyan walked on the street with her head hanging down and feeling depressed. She visited many pharmacies and talisman shops, and found that her five taels of silver were a waste. If it was life, she could buy rice and groceries.
It's been a year, but I can't afford the materials for alchemy and talisman making, not even a piece of talisman paper or a single herb.
With his head hanging down, he was walking aimlessly. Suddenly he bumped into a person. The person on the other side was very strong. Xu Ziyan staggered back all the way and almost sat down on the ground. When he stood firm, he looked up.
,
But he saw a young man looking at him with a smile. He was wearing a well-fitting white shirt that reflected his well-proportioned figure. He was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. The edges on his face were as sharp as a knife, and he exuded a heroic yet chic temperament.
Xu Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but light up, what a handsome guy! He is definitely much more handsome than the stars on Earth in his previous life!
The young man looked at Xu Ziyan, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and was surprised by Xu Ziyan's beauty. Although Xu Ziyan was very plainly dressed, she still showed the potential of a beauty. The strange color in the young man's eyes flashed past, and returned to its original state.
He looked at Xu Ziyan indifferently.
Next to the boy stood a younger girl, pinching her waist and shouting at Xu Ziyan:
"You don't have eyes when you walk, but you bump into my brother Lin on purpose."
