Chapter 1 Digging the bone and replacing the marrow
"The young master is seriously injured, the cold poison has penetrated into the marrow, and it is difficult to cure with medicine or stone!"
"Unless a close relative can dig out the bones and replace the marrow, they can recover. But although the lives of those whose bones were dug out are not in danger, they will never be able to practice martial arts again..."
Fengyang City, Lin Family.
Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Lin Feilong turned pale and turned to look around.
"My son Lin Yun's life is at stake. Which of you is willing to donate his marrow?"
There was silence everywhere.
In this world, the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected.
Having their bones dug out and their marrow replaced is equivalent to being turned into trash, and they will never be able to make a difference from now on.
Therefore, no matter how great the benefits are, no one is willing to do it.
"The head of the family and everyone here are all direct descendants of my Lin family and future pillars. It would be an unbearable pain if any of them were to lose!"
"If the only way to save the young master is to change his marrow, there is a very suitable candidate!"
At this time, someone spoke.
"Lin Yuantu's son, Lin Tian!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone present was brightened.
They all agreed:
"Yes, Lin Tian is also a direct bloodline of the Lin family, and meets the requirements for closeness."
"Moreover, he was born with closed meridians and was originally a waste that could not be cultivated. It is his honor to have the opportunity to serve the Lin family."
"The most important thing is that his father Lin Yuantu went deep into the wilderness ten years ago. Now there is no news. He is probably dead. No one will care about the life and death of a waste. It is just a good use of waste..."
Everyone, you say something, I say something.
It seems that Lin Tian's fate has been decided.
The head of the family, Lin Feilong, frowned slightly when he heard this. Although Lin Yuantu had made great contributions to the family back then, it was already in the past. The Lin family had raised Lin Tian for ten years, and it was time for him to repay his favor.
Think of this.
Lin Feilong said: "Send someone to bring Lin Tian."
…
At this time, outside Fengyang City.
In a dilapidated courtyard.
A young man is practicing his sword under the rising sun.
He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and tall. He was wearing a simple green shirt and holding a long sword. His whole person seemed to be integrated with the sharp sword in his hand.
The body moves with the sword.
Point, prick, tease, pick...
The sword light flashed.
Although they are only the simplest basic swordsmanship, in the hands of the young man, it feels a bit smooth.
Completely natural, perfect and perfect.
There is no trace of craftsmanship at all.
It is obvious that he has practiced basic swordsmanship to an extremely high level.
This young man is none other than Lin Tian.
Ben is the son of Lin Yuantu, the previous head of the Lin family. He has been smart since he was a child and has considerable talent in swordsmanship.
But he was born with closed meridians, unable to draw spiritual energy into his body, and truly embarked on martial arts practice.
Ten years ago, Lin Yuantu went to the desert in person to find medicine for his son, but there was no news from him.
After Lin Feilong became the head of the family, he did not miss his old friendship at all. He drove Lin Tian and his sister Lin Yu out of the Lin family compound, cut off their monthly supply, and left them to fend for themselves.
In the past ten years, Lin Tian had lived a very hard life.
From the age of nine, he had to be self-reliant and take care of his younger sister who suffered from cold illness since childhood.
He farmed and hunted every day, and also worked in shops in the city in exchange for a meager remuneration to buy medicine for his sister.
But even it is so hard.
Lin Tian also spends two hours every day practicing swordsmanship.
His meridians are closed and he cannot draw spiritual energy into his body. He can only make himself stronger through sword practice.
Even in desperate situations, he never gave up.
"It's just a little bit short. As long as I can cultivate the basic swordsmanship to the peak and perfection, maybe I can hatch the sword seed in my body!"
Lin Tian stopped.
I only felt a faint tingling sensation in my lower abdomen.
It seemed like a sharp sword was about to break out of the shell.
No one knows that Lin Tian's Dantian Qi Sea breeds a mysterious sword seed.
This kind of sword seems to be innate.
It is also because of its existence that Lin Tian's whole body's meridians are sealed, as if to protect the sword seed, so that he cannot draw the spiritual energy into his body. He can only continue to cultivate and hatch it with his own essence and blood through sword practice.
To this day.
A whole nineteen years.
Lin Tian could gradually feel the sword seed throbbing.
It's like a heartbeat.
This is his only hope to become stronger.
"I can feel that the sword species is recovering, and it should be unsealed in these two days. After nineteen years of waiting and hard work, I hope you won't let me down!"
Lin Tian prayed secretly in his heart.
"Brother, you have been practicing for an hour. Let's take a rest and drink some water."
At this time.
A beautiful girl came out.
She was wearing a simple floral skirt and her hair was tied back. Due to years of illness, she was slightly thin and pale, but her facial features were very delicate and she was a beautiful woman.
This woman is none other than my younger sister Lin Yu.
"It's okay, I'm not tired yet. Once you master the swordsmanship and have the skills, I can make more money and help you cure your disease as soon as possible."
Lin Tian took the bowl and smiled fondly.
When Lin Yu heard this, his eyes darkened, and he said with some distress: "Brother, I have been the one who has dragged you down these years..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Although you and I are not related by blood, we have been dependent on each other since childhood and have been part of each other's lives for a long time. Why should we be a drag?"
"I just don't want to see you working so hard and I can't help you with anything..."
"Stop thinking nonsense. You are weak, so don't let the wind blow. Go back and have a good rest. This will be the greatest help to me. When I master the swordsmanship, I will definitely be able to cure your illness."
"Um."
Coax Lin Yu back to the room.
Lin Tian gathered his thoughts, held the sword again, and was about to practice some more.
But at this time.
Bang--
The courtyard door was violently knocked open.
The manager of the Lin family, with a few thugs, swaggered in.
"A member of the Lin family?"
Lin Tian frowned slightly when he saw this.
After their father disappeared, the Lin family kicked the brothers and sisters out of the compound and ignored them ever since.
It has been ten years now.
Unexpectedly, the Lin family came to visit today.
Could it be that there is news about his father?
Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not blame the other party for being rude when he broke in. He said, "It turns out to be Manager Li. Do you have anything to do with me?"
The manager of the Lin family is a relative of the Lin family, named Li Yang.
He was originally just a low-life gangster, but he got a managerial position thanks to his sister marrying into the Lin family.
"Lin Tian, it turns out you're not dead yet. Very good. Come back to Lin's house with me."
Li Yang glanced at his surroundings with disgust.
Then he said coldly.
His tone was rather cold and arrogant, with a condescending tone, as if he was giving an order.
This made Lin Tian very unhappy.
A mere relative was in charge. Back then, all I could do was grovel in front of him.
Now, he is so domineering.
However, ten years of miserable life had long since smoothed Lin Tian's edges, giving him a mind far beyond that of his peers.
So it didn't happen.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked: "Why are you asking me to go back to the Lin family? Is there any news about my father?"
"Your father? I'm afraid he died a long time ago. Is there any news about him?"
Li Yang sneered when he heard this.
"I am here today on the order of the master of the family to take you back to the Lin family and let you heal the young master's injuries. This is your honor. Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"
"You want me to heal Lin Yun's injuries?"
Lin Tian frowned slightly.
In the eyes of the Lin family, he is just a waste who cannot cultivate and is worthless.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been abandoned for so many years.
Now you suddenly come to your door and you want me to help with your injuries and illnesses?
It's definitely nothing good.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian said: "Lin Yun is injured? Hehe, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a pharmacist. Why are you looking for me? I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to help."
The implication is to shirk away.
When Li Yang heard this, he sneered coldly: "Of course I know you are a waste, who would really expect you to do anything? To let you go back, you need to donate your blood and marrow, dig out the bones and replace the marrow for the young master! You are like this
Waste, it only has this little use left."
What?
So you want me to dig out the bones and replace the marrow?
Lin Tian was shocked and angry.
He has also heard of this therapy of bone excavation and marrow replacement.
It involves digging out a section of a person's spine, taking out the blood marrow, and replacing it with the injured person.
Doing so will not endanger your life.
But if a section of the spine is removed and the blood marrow is depleted, it is equivalent to completely cutting off the path to martial arts.
That is the ladder to reach the gods in the future!
No one wants to lose.
Thinking about it, no one in the Lin family was willing to sacrifice, so Lin Feilong thought of himself as a "waste"?
ridiculous.
I thought it was because there was news about my father, or the conscience of the Lin family found out, that they came to find me.
Unexpectedly, the result was that he had to dig out his own bone marrow!
How could Lin Tian destroy his own foundation?
He immediately shook his head and said: "I was expelled from the Lin family ten years ago, and now I have nothing to do with the Lin family. Your young master is about to die, but he came to me, which is simply ridiculous!"
"Um?"
When Li Yang heard this, his eyes suddenly froze.
He said loudly: "Lin Tian, you'd better not be ignorant of good and evil. A waste like you is worthless in this world. It's your blessing to be able to replace your dirty blood marrow with the young master."
!”
"Don't worry, the head of the family has said that he will not treat you badly. As long as you are willing to contribute your blood marrow, you can return to the Lin family and enjoy the treatment of a family disciple. In addition, your sister Lin Yu can also receive treatment from the family."
Li Yang made conditions.
To be honest, Lin Tian was really a little tempted.
Not for myself, but because of my sister's illness.
If she could get funding from the Lin family and get the best drug treatment to stabilize her condition, it wouldn't necessarily cure her, but it would at least reduce the number of cold poison attacks and make her suffer less.
But the problem is.
People in the Lin family have always been white-eyed wolves.
How can we trust their words?
It is impossible for Lin Tian to destroy his future.
Destiny must be in your own hands.
Therefore, he still shook his head and refused: "I have already said that I have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore. I will not save your young master, and I do not need charity from the Lin family. Please come back!"
“If you don’t eat the toast, you’ll be fined with alcohol!”
Li Yang also lost his patience at this time.
Because excavation of bones and marrow replacement requires living bodies, it is best to cooperate voluntarily.
That's why he patiently said so much.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tian was so shameless.
He also lost his patience.
His face immediately darkened.
"You have to obey the orders of the master of the family, and you have to obey even if you don't!"
Finished.
A big wave of his hand.
Several of the accompanying thugs immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.
Although these people are not disciples of the Lin family, they have also practiced some superficial martial arts.
Although it can't deal with real warriors.
But it should be easy to deal with a waste that cannot be cultivated.
But it's a pity.
They thought wrong.
"If inducement fails, are you going to use force? The Lin family goes too far to bully others!"
Lin Tian's eyes were cold and stern.
For the sake of his sister, he has been keeping a low profile and forbearing all these years, and he just wants to get the sword seed to hatch.
Unexpectedly.
Even though he was forbearing and giving in and living a low-key life, some people didn't want to let him go.
If this is the case, then I can’t bear it!
Thinking of this, Lin Tian tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
at this time.
The two thugs had already rushed in front of them, raised their hands and punched them, using the Lin Family Tiger Fist, which was so powerful and heavy that if they were hit, they would at least break their muscles and bones.
The other party was ruthless, and Lin Tian showed no mercy.
His wrist immediately turned.
The sword light pierced the air like lightning.
The two thugs screamed at the same time, blood shot into the sky, and both arms were broken at shoulder level.
The next moment.
Lin Tian's sword moves changed again, his sword flew across the air, and the blade sealed his throat.
"Well--"
The two thugs suddenly froze, staggered, and then fell on their backs.
One hit to kill!
Lin Tian took action without mercy.
He has been practicing sword fighting for many years, but today is the first time he actually makes a move.
The sword is a weapon, a weapon for killing.
Take out the sheath and drink blood.
Lin Tian didn't feel any discomfort after killing someone for the first time.
Instead, I felt an inexplicable sense of joy in my heart.
When the swordsman is angry, his blood will flow thousands of miles. If his mind is clear, his kindness and hatred will be repaid!
Wherever the sword goes, fear nothing!
In a trance.
Lin Tian seemed to have some realization.
The sword seed in his body seemed to be throbbing even more intensely at this moment.
It seems like something is breaking.
"That's it! Although I worked hard to practice swordsmanship in the past, I didn't have the heart of a swordsman. I was always forbearing and couldn't understand my mind and conform to the temperament of swordsmanship! Taking action today is a blessing in disguise!"
Lin Tian suddenly felt enlightened.
So he started even more mercilessly.
The long sword is like a dragon, wreaking havoc in the field.
Several thugs from the Lin family who rushed forward screamed and fell to the ground one after another. Their hands were cut off and their throats were sealed with a sword.
The death was extremely miserable.
"You...you loser, how dare you resist?"
Li Yang was frightened.
He never dreamed that Lin Tian would dare to resist and his sword skills would be so fierce.
As soon as he took action, he killed all the men he brought with him.
Watch the other person look at you.
Li Yang was even more panicked.
He is mediocre in ability and has no talent for cultivation at all. He relied on nepotism to become the steward of the Lin family. He is usually responsible for some chores and the like.
Where will Lin Tian's opponent be?
I originally thought that this trip was just to catch a piece of trash and take it back, it was an easy job.
Who would have thought that he would encounter such a evil star.
"Lin Tian! Calm down!"
"I am the manager of the Lin family. If you kill me, the head of the family will be furious, and my sister will not let you go..."
Li Yang said while stepping back.
Lin Tian sneered when he heard this.
"How did the Lin family ever let me go?"
Finished.
The long sword in his hand is horizontal.
The cold light of the sword cut through the throat.
Li Yang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he just kept feeling blood spurting out. He quickly reached out and covered his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out. His body went limp and he fell down.
Lin Tian stepped forward and crossed the corpse.
Then he closed the courtyard door.
He knew that the Lin family would never let go of killing Li Yang and his party.
He will bear the wrath of the Lin family.
The best choice at this time is to take your sister and run away quickly.
However, he has endured it for ten years.
This time, Lin Tian didn't want to escape.
Because just after killing Li Yang, he felt that the sword seed in his body had completely revived!
