(ps: third update, calling for collection, grateful)
After the friends left, the ancient village became quieter than before.
Lin Yufeng, apart from going up the mountain with Feiling to collect herbs every day, would also continue to practice or specialize in eating thunder.
In less than half a month, relying on his super understanding, Lin Yufeng also reached the bottleneck of the first stage of success, and was just shy of entering the stage of ascending to the throne.
Only when you enter the hall can you exert 50% of the power of Devouring Thunder. If you practice to the perfect state, you can exert 80% or even 90% of the power.
In addition to making good progress in practicing spiritual skills, Lin Yufeng also made some breakthroughs in his cultivation. After half a month of hard training, he also successfully reached the middle stage of the tenth stage of spiritual energy.
However, there is still a long way to go before the peak of the tenth level of spiritual energy. Without the help of source energy, it is still quite difficult to practice.
In addition, Mr. Xuan also prescribed several new medicines. Although his mother's condition was still not cured, it was better than before. This also made Lin Yufeng secretly relieved.
He believed that if things continued like this, his mother's condition would stabilize soon, and by then, he would be able to leave the ancient village and head to Lingxuan Continent.
Lin Yufeng has always been curious and longing for Lingxuan Continent. No matter in his past life or this life, he has lived in a village since he was a child and has never gone out to see the outside world. This is indeed a bit disappointing for young people.
Of course it would be best to go out quickly, but the prerequisite is that her mother's condition has stabilized, otherwise Lin Yufeng will be even more worried when she goes out to look for a cure.
But the only thing that makes Lin Yufeng suspicious is that Mr. Xuan still hasn't told him the origin of his fate and his mother's illness.
Lin Yufeng has always been quite strange about his life experience. He has never met his grandfather or his father. When he asked his mother about it, the latter just gave it a few perfunctory words and never mentioned it.
.
All kinds of doubts lingered in his mind. Although Lin Yufeng was smart, he didn't understand the meaning. What was certain was that everything seemed not as simple as imagined.
Time passes slowly in ordinary and fulfilling days.
The breeze is bright, the moon is bright, and the night sky is full of stars.
Lin Yufeng sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his right wrist with his left hand, concentrating.
"Chichi."
After a while, thunder sounded, and Lin Yufeng's right palm was suddenly wrapped in dense white lightning. It looked like a sun bursting with rays of light. The dense white light was dazzling and bright.
With the appearance of the forest white lightning, the atmosphere in the whole room became somewhat dull, and an invisible pressure followed.
"Is this the Lightning Eater?" Lin Yufeng looked at the palm-sized forest white lightning and couldn't help but asked in surprise.
With his perception, he can clearly feel the powerful power contained in it. I am afraid that even a rock will be shattered instantly with one punch.
Moreover, this is only the peak of the initial state, only 50% of the power is exerted. If it reaches the stage or reaches perfection, the power will naturally be more powerful.
However, using the power of heavenly thunder to cast the lightning-devouring force can be compared to the first level of the realm.
"The current Thunder Devourer is only the size of a palm. If it reaches the realm of ascending to the throne, it must be as big as a sandbag." Lin Yufeng pondered slightly, then waved his right palm lightly, and the forest white lightning immediately dissipated.
"Brother Feng, are you in there?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Yufeng walked over and opened the door, and saw the slim girl looking at him with a smile, as tender as water.
"Is mother asleep?" Lin Yufeng asked with a slight warmth in his heart.
Since her friends left, only the little girl Fei Ling was left to accompany her, and she and Lin Yufeng went to the mountains to collect herbs every day and took care of her mother together...
With Fei Ling's help, Lin Yufeng also freed up more time to practice, and he was very grateful to this cute girl.
"Sleeping." Fei Ling nodded gently and said softly: "Is there any progress in your cultivation?"
"It's not a big progress." Lin Yufeng scratched his head in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Fei Ling's beautiful big eyes stared at him without blinking, and said strangely: "That's not right, Brother Feng, your talent is so amazing, why haven't you harvested it after half a month?"
"Uh... well..." Lin Yufeng smiled bitterly in his heart. Even Fei Ling couldn't tell her the origin of Tianlei, so he hesitated for a long time before finally smiling and saying: "Well, I have been practicing spiritual skills in the past half month.
, so there is no progress.”
Fei Ling looked at Lin Yufeng suspiciously: "Is it true?"
"Haha, of course it's true. When did your brother Feng lie to you?" Being stared at by the little girl, cold sweat broke out on Lin Yufeng's forehead, he hesitated for a few words, and then wanted to sneak away.
Seeing this, Fei Ling pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, as if she felt something was wrong with Lin Yufeng, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she had to give up.
"By the way, Brother Feng, Grandpa Xuan asked you to go to the slope." Fei Ling suddenly stopped Lin Yufeng.
"Grandpa Xuan?" Lin Yufeng stopped, turned his head and asked in confusion: "What is he looking for me for?"
Fei Ling shook her head. "I don't know. I just asked you to go there to find him."
"That's it, that's good, I'll go now." Lin Yufeng pondered for a moment, then told Fei Ling a few words and ran out.
slope.
The old man in white robe stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"Grandpa Xuan." Lin Yufeng came behind the old man and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Seeing Lin Yufeng arrive, Mr. Xuan smiled faintly: "How is your training in eating thunder?"
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng smiled: "It's not bad, it has reached the state of first perfection."
"First attainment of the realm?" Mr. Xuan was slightly surprised, with a flash of exclamation in his eyes, and said with emotion: "You little guy, you have outstanding talent, but I didn't expect that your understanding is so amazing."
It is already very good to be able to practice intermediate spiritual skills to the initial level within half a month. Many talents take more than a month to achieve it.
Hearing the praise from Mr.
"Haha, let's not talk about it anymore." Mr. Xuan changed the topic and immediately said with a slightly solemn expression: "Xiao Feng, in fact, the seed selection competition is not as important as you young people think."
"Seed selection?" Lin Yufeng raised his eyebrows slightly. "How do you say this?"
Mr. Xuan pondered for a while and said solemnly: "It's just a cover."
"A cover?" Mr. Xuan's words made Lin Yufeng's face change slightly, and he asked in confusion: "What cover? Isn't this competition organized by Gumen?"
Mr. Xuan shook his head and sighed: "It is undoubtedly the Gu Sect that organizes the competition, but the ones who really control the competition are not the Gu Sect, but us old guys."
Lin Yufeng still seemed to understand. "If that's the case, why do we need to hold a seed selection competition?"
"The seed selection competition is also to give you young people the motivation to compete with each other."
Mr. Xuan explained: "When the children in the village didn't know about this, except for you, the other children had no intention of practicing and were only interested in having fun. We old men discussed it so that you can go further on the road of cultivation in the future.
, proposed this method, and only in this way can you understand how important cultivation is."
After what Mr. Xuan said, Lin Yufeng fell into deep thought.
He naturally knew that before the seed selection competition was known, many children in the village generally rarely practiced and just ate, drank and had fun every day. The old people could not force them to practice obediently. After all, the melons were not sweet...
The Gumen's seed selection competition just made up for the shortcomings of these children's playfulness. When the news came, the old people taught their children many times that if they failed to pass the selection competition, they would stay in the mountain village forever.
Staying in the ancient village forever is definitely not what all the children want to see. No matter how playful they are, they all know that living in this small mountain village for the rest of their lives will be even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Young people are all passionate and want to get out of the ancient village and go out into the world. No one is willing to live a lifetime without seeing the world.
Therefore, when the news came that the ancient sect was recruiting disciples, coupled with the coercion and inducement of the old people, all the children in the village changed their previous laziness and devoted themselves to cultivation.
Of course, even if there is no seed selection, Lin Yufeng still insists on practicing hard every day, even though there is no harvest day after day, year after year.
"Grandpa Xuan, according to what you said, the selection competition is just a pretense, just to stimulate our motivation to practice. But what if they know that it is just a farce in the end, wouldn't it be worse?" Lin Yufeng thought deeply and looked at Mr. Xuan.
Hearing this, Mr. Xuan glanced at Lin Yufeng in amazement. If the other children heard this news, they would definitely lose their temper and cry. After all, if they knew that the competition they had worked so hard to pass was just a farce,
It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
The young man in front of him was calm and calm. Even after learning such an astonishing fact, there was no trace of anger. One has to admire the calmness of this child's mind.
Such a state of mind is really not something that ordinary young people can compare to.
"They pass, they can all walk out, and..."
Having said this, Mr.
These places are famous.”
"You mean..." Lin Yufeng hesitated a little when he heard this, then his face changed and he said in shock: "They are not ordinary people?"
Mr. Xuan nodded calmly. "On the day of the competition, maybe you also saw that these children all have extraordinary backgrounds."
Lin Yufeng was slightly startled and suddenly remembered the game that day.
Fifteen-year-old Chu Chen has mastered imperial-level skills. Sixteen-year-old Shi Qian not only has high-level spiritual skills, top-grade elixirs, and expensive charms, but also has these things.
Thinking about it this way, to be able to have something that ordinary cultivators can only hope for, there is indeed a huge force behind them to support them.
"In this case, why did they come to the ancient village? And don't they know?" Lin Yufeng seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully.
Mr. Xuan sighed, looked up at the moon, and said slowly: "It's a long story. Fifteen years ago, something happened in the family, so I came to the ancient village and asked us old guys to take care of me. At that time, including
Many children, including you, are very young, so many don’t know their own background.”
"After they pass the seed selection or leave the ancient village, their parents will take them back to the clan and they will naturally be informed in detail."
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng frowned slightly.
Fifteen years ago? Wasn’t this the time when I first came to the world?
Such a coincidence, what happened to make these rich and powerful parents abandon their children for so long?
After thinking for a while, Lin Yufeng looked at Mr. Xuan, but the latter had a solemn expression, and there must be some things that he couldn't tell him in detail.
"It turns out they are all rich people..." Lin Yufeng sighed.
I originally thought that only Chu Chen and Shi Qian's fathers were rich, but I didn't expect that every one of their partners came from an extraordinary background. In comparison, I really looked too insignificant.
Although I don't know how powerful their background is, it is certain that even if you look at the mainland, they are considered to be relatively powerful existences among the second-rate forces.
After all, only such forces can possess the imperial level skills.
"Haha, we are all companions. No matter how good our life experience is, we are still good friends who have lived together for more than ten years. I am telling you this because I don't want to hide it from you. You will eventually know it after you leave the ancient village."
Seeing Lin Yufeng's depressed look, Mr. Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. What happened to the source of the thunder in your body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yufeng's expression suddenly changed.
How did Mr. Xuan know that he had the origin of thunder?
