Although the Lin family has a rich heritage, if a family wants to develop for a long time, it must concentrate its financial resources. The family industry can only be passed on to direct descendants. Otherwise, the industry will become more and more scattered. In just a few generations, it will be divided into seven, seven or eight, and the family will exist in name only.
Lin Ming's branch was a commoner, and was separated by several generations. It was impossible to be allocated any property, and could only be responsible for business management. Lin Ming had not had much contact with the direct descendants of the Lin family since he was a child, so he did not recognize these two brothers and sisters at all.
Lin Wudao: "I just found out a few days ago that the first place in this martial arts assessment is a child of my Lin family. Several of us Lin family children were shocked. We really didn't expect it. And the most rare thing is that Lin Ming, you are still born.
It’s really shameful for me to achieve this result without any resources.”
At this time, Lin Fengyuan also interjected: "The news that you got the first place in the assessment this time has been spread back to the family. Even the head of the family was alarmed. This is an amazing result. The head of the family has already met the parents of the clan brother.
, the restaurant was also given to my brother’s parents, saying that I wanted to thank him and the two elders for cultivating a talent for the Lin family. When my brother returns, I’m afraid the entire Lin family will be there to help you.”
After listening to the words of the two brothers Lin Wu, Lin Ming was stunned. He did not expect that this series of things would happen. Lin Ming did not have much sense of belonging to the Lin family, and he did not have much interest in taking over the family.
However, Lin Ming knew that his parents definitely wanted this honor. Which parent didn't want their children to return home in glory and glory?
Moreover, my parents have strong traditional concepts and have always hoped to honor their ancestors and protect their descendants. The honor of being the first in the Qixuanwu Mansion is indeed worthy of pride for generations of the Lin family. The Tianyun Kingdom has a population of 70 to 80 million, and the Qixuanwu Mansion ranks first in the assessment.
One is equivalent to being the top scholar, and it is not an exaggeration to even build an archway for this purpose.
Realizing this, Lin Ming felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Making his parents happy was naturally what any child wanted.
Lin Ming said: "I first came to Qixuanwu Mansion, and I am not familiar with the place. I met two clan brothers. The clan sister felt particularly cordial. I will take care of her in the future."
"Haha, brother, you're welcome. If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask. Brother Yu, although my force is limited, I can still use some of the family's resources in Tianyun City."
"Thank you then."
The two exchanged the seals of the transmission notes. At this moment, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and a voice said: "The teaching elder is here."
Lin Ming looked up and saw an old man wearing a white robe and holding a thick book slowly walking into the martial arts hall. The old man's true energy fluctuations were obviously weaker than Mu Yi and others, probably because of the pulse condensation.
Expect.
In Qingmulg City, pulse-condensing stage warriors were already quite rare, but when entering the Qixuanwu Mansion, pulse-condensing stage warriors were everywhere. The teachers from the Qixuanwu Mansion that Lin Ming saw along the way were all above the pulse-condensing stage.
The old man put the book in his hand on the desk and said slowly: "From today on, I will be responsible for teaching you, including physical skills, sword skills, attack skills, cultivation skills, defense skills, escape skills, true energy and martial arts.
Basics, etc. Let’s start teaching now.”
The old man's opening remarks were very concise, and then he began to talk about physical skills. The old man's basic knowledge was very rich. He could sum up many practical skills for some originally simple movements, such as using up old strength before new strength is born.
How to dodge attacks and temporarily avoid sharp edges, such as how to forcibly twist the body when flying in the air, such as how to fight back when being pressed by the opponent.
These techniques are not martial arts, but if used well, they will greatly improve a warrior's combat effectiveness. This is equivalent to the difference between an experienced warrior and a novice in actual combat. Of course, it takes a lot of work to truly integrate these techniques into combat.
Actual combat will do.
The class lasted for an hour, and then the old man put away his books and said, "That's it for today's class. The new students who passed the test this time, please stay and receive your True Essence Stone."
"True Essence Stone?" Lin Ming was slightly startled. He had heard of this kind of thing. This kind of stone naturally contains true essence and can be used to drive the magic circle.
At this time, Lin Wu said: "Brother, this True Essence Stone is a good thing. Absorbing the True Essence inside can speed up your cultivation. Moreover, the True Essence in the True Essence Stone is purer than that in the elixir, and it is easier to refine.
Much easier.”
"Yes, as a clan brother who ranks first in the assessment, you can receive ten true essence stones." Lin Fengyuan also agreed, with obvious envy in his words.
"Oh? This True Essence Stone is very precious?"
"Well, in fact, our Tianyun Kingdom also has mineral deposits of True Essence Stones, but they have to be turned over to Qixuan Valley. There are actually many True Essence Stones in large sects, but they are rarely passed down, so the True Essence Stones that can be purchased in Tianyun Kingdom
There are very few primeval stones."
In this area of hundreds of thousands of miles, it is not surprising that the imperial power must succumb to the Qixuan Valley, and strength determines everything.
"Brother, hurry up and get it. From now on, you can determine the ranking of the ranking stones and you can get at least one stone every month."
Lin Ming came to the True Essence Stone receiving area and indeed received ten True Essence Stones. These True Essence Stones looked like crystals with many impurities and were not transparent.
The weight of a True Essence Stone is one tael. After standard weighing and cutting, Lin Ming immersed his soul power in it and indeed felt the pure True Essence inside.
After Lin Ming, Wang Yanfeng also received the True Essence Stone, but the number was half less, only five. The ordinary disciples who came to the Earth Hall after that received only two, and as for the Human Hall, there was only one.
.And after they receive it this time, if they are unable to enter the Earth Hall in the future, they will not receive this treatment again.
Lin Wudao: "Brother, it's rare for us to meet each other. How about having a drink together?"
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment and said apologetically: "I want to improve my strength as much as possible before the ranking stone assessment begins. As for drinking, I will invite my brothers and sisters another day." Practicing the inscription technique requires a lot of time, and in addition,
Lin Ming was very busy with martial arts training and classes. He spent his sleeping time adjusting his breathing and doing exercises.
"Haha, my brother is really hard-working. No wonder he has achieved such success at such an age. Okay, then let's meet up another day."
Lin Ming said goodbye to the Lin Wu brothers and sisters, and left the Martial Arts Hall alone. When he reached the fork in the road, he found Wang Yanfeng standing with two unfamiliar-looking men. Wang Yanfeng frowned, and it was obvious that he did not have a good relationship with the two of them.
"Hey! Isn't this Wang Yanfeng, the genius of the Wang family? Oh my, he is the first place in the Yuelu City Classic, and he has mastered the swordsmanship of "Nine Words of Mantra". Hehe, I thought it was so amazing, why did he lose to a second-level physical practitioner?
Where is the boy? He really embarrasses our Yuelu City." A young man said angrily. Judging from his age, he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a peak level of third-level physical training. At this time, this man was holding a long sword in his arms, with a look of arrogance on his face.
color.
Wang Yanfeng's face suddenly darkened, "Liu Mingxiang, you, a bitch of the Liu family, have the nerve to scream in front of me! You have taken so many rare and exotic medicines, but you didn't make it into the top ten in the assessment, even if a pig is raised like this by your Liu family.
, is also better than you!"
"Hey! You said I'm a pig, that's good, so how about we compare? See if you can step on me." Liu Mingxiang said disdainfully, with a teasing smile on his face.
Wang Yanfeng's voice faltered, and his fists clenched suddenly. The opponent was at the third level of physical training, and he had practiced in Qixuanwu Mansion for two years. Compared with him, he was not sure.
However, even so, Wang Yanfeng did not want to back down. He knew with his toes that if he did not fight today, Liu Mingxiang would definitely publicize him everywhere, saying that he was as timid as a mouse and that the "Nine Words of Truth" was in vain. "Liu Mingxiang"
Mingxiang, you really don’t know what shame is. You are not as talented as me, so you are using your age to suppress me? Eighteen years old is very good to me fifteen years old!"
"What a joke! When you are killed on the battlefield, do you still need to consider who is older? Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to compare?"
"Why don't you dare!" Wang Yanfeng snorted coldly. Although he knew that the other party was irritating him, he still accepted the challenge because of his arrogant character. He could not lose his spirit or break his martial arts spirit.
"Okay, let's compare according to the rules of the Martial Palace. Since we are competing, there will naturally be some bets. Didn't you just receive five True Essence Stones? Just use them as bets."
bet!
Wang Yanfeng gritted his teeth. He was not stupid. He immediately understood that Liu Mingxiang's deliberate provocation today was just for these five True Essence Stones!
This was planned!
However, even if he understands this, Wang Yanfeng will not back down. Even if he loses with five True Essence Stones, he can still afford to lose. What's more, he may not lose!
"Just bet!"
Lin Ming looked at the scene from a distance and shook his head slightly. The other party had obviously figured out Wang Yanfeng's character. But having said that, the other party had already provoked him to the doorstep. If Wang Yanfeng was really timid in this situation, then his losses would probably be even greater.
Avoiding fighting and swallowing your anger are taboos in martial arts.
Cultivation of martial arts is not only about physical training, but also about mental training. What is important in cultivating the mind is to act according to nature and enjoy life. If you hold back everywhere, your cultivation will be hindered.
This Wang Yanfeng is probably going to lose. Those two are both masters, at the peak of the third level of physical training, and they have been practicing in Qixuanwu Mansion for so long. Their combat power is probably much higher than that of ordinary fourth-level physical training warriors. With such strength,
Even Lin Ming didn't have the slightest confidence in facing him.
"Although this Liu Mingxiang is arrogant, he is indeed a master, and the young man next to him seems to be even more unfathomable. I can't win against either of them. Qixuanwu Mansion is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon." Lin Ming said.
I thought to myself, this is normal. Whoever enters Qixuanwu Mansion is not a genius. Such a genius is older than them, enjoys so many resources in Wu Mansion, and has been practicing for so long. If he can't defeat the new students, it will be really bad.
Practicing in vain.
This matter had nothing to do with Lin Ming. He turned around and left. After taking a few steps, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Hey! Isn't this the first in this assessment? Lin Ming, right! Nice to meet you."
Although the words were polite, the provocation in his voice was too obvious. Lin Ming frowned slightly and turned around to look, only to see that the person speaking was the young man with unfathomable strength who was provoking Wang Yanfeng together with Liu Mingxiang.
