In this case, there is no need for him to continue to follow a few of them and stay in this West Lake Villa. Why should a person who may not be as good as him in the future waste his time? Not to mention that he doesn't have a letter of recommendation, so he can't go to the outer door in advance to get some advice. He can only rely on his own strength to pass the exam, and the time until the exam is not short now. He has been rooted in the city of Yujian for many years, and he has his own connections. With this little time, he naturally has to go to those cultivators he has made friends with to ask for advice. Where else can he waste time here, the West Lake Villa? Although I only stayed for one day, I finally got my wish. In any case, I still have to thank Ye Qingcheng and the others.
"Brother Ye, I don't want to say too much. In fact, I also think that how far a person can go should not just depend on his qualifications. No, to be precise, I used to think that way..." At this point, he seemed to As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly changed his words and said: "Brother Ye, since you are a mortal, have you ever heard of the Gu family in Suzhou?"
"Gu family?" Ye Qingcheng lowered his head and recalled it, then remembered it and said, "It's the Gu family, the second among the eight most famous families in Suzhou, right? So, you are a member of the Gu family? Is Qian Wanliang also a pseudonym?"
"No, this is a bit complicated. My biological father is the former head of the family, Gu Zhen, and my mother is a maid from the Qian family."
Naturally, Huan and Bai didn't understand what Qian Wanliang said at all. They simply watched Ye Qingcheng talk to him. When it came to the Qian family, it was one of the most famous families in Suzhou after the eight famous families. She also has some strength and family property, but if Qian Wanliang's mother is a maid, it will be really hard to say.
"This was twenty years ago. Gu Zhen was quite old, but he was still a little obsessed with women. There were more than ten rooms in the side room alone. Once when he was a guest at Qian's house, he got drunk and raped her. My mother was a maid at the time. Because of her low status, the Qian family wanted to send my mother away in order to settle the dispute. Originally, with Gu Zhen's status, she didn't care about this at all, and she didn't take my mother to heart at all. In the end, who would accept it? I thought my mother was pregnant with me that night, so the Qian family adopted my mother as their adopted daughter and married her into the Gu family." At this point, he sighed softly and said, "But, what is the Gu family? How could a famous family think so highly of my mother, a maid from a humble background? Not to mention that Gu Zhenguang has more than ten sons, and they don’t care much about me. We, mother and son, have been looked down upon by the Gu family, especially after Gu Zhen’s death. Afterwards, life became even more difficult. Gu Zhen’s first wife had always been very harsh on us, mother and son. After Gu Zhen died, she kicked us out of the Gu family, and the Qian family was unwilling to take us in, so as a last resort, I My mother and I lived in a slum and made a living by washing people's clothes. Finally one day, she died of exhaustion by the river and never woke up."
When they heard this, Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan couldn't help but look at each other. There was a look of surprise in their eyes. Compared with him, Ye Qingcheng was really much happier.
Although he had not seen his mother since he was a child, and his father drank and had fun all day long, after all, the Ye family in Chang'an still had some wealth. In addition, the two brothers died young, so he did not meet the common people in other aristocratic families. All kinds of fights and intrigues for favors. As the only young master, he can be said to have food to eat and clothes to wear. Even his official career is smooth sailing under his father's arrangements. He is doing well in Chang'an. There was no trouble, but it really couldn't be compared with Qian Wanliang's miserable experience.
"From that day on, I vowed to stand out and avenge my mother. From that day on, I started wandering around, and finally settled in this Sword Control City, and became a disciple of an old man. My master was also an old man. He was a guide. He had been doing this job all his life. At the end of the day, he was defrauded of all his property. He bought all the so-called "elixirs refined by alchemists that can increase the longevity of mortals", but in the end he still died of old age. On my own bed, there was nothing left for me. I started from scratch in the city and worked hard until now. During this period, I also learned that I have spiritual roots. Although they are just ordinary spiritual roots, they are one of a kind. Well, if the Gu family knew about this, they would probably regret it to death. Unfortunately, my spiritual root attribute is gold. All the cultivators I have ever received have told me that only through physical cultivation can I reach a better state. , and what’s needed is a better technique.”
Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng understood a little bit. No wonder Qian Wanliang wanted to leave. This was because his goal had been achieved and he no longer had to work hard to make money. And the name Qian Wanliang probably meant the right thing. That’s why I took it.
"Although everyone knows that after joining the Shushan Outer Sect, the sect will give everyone skills, but if you are not outstandingly qualified, you will only be able to get low-level skills. Although they are full of loopholes, it is easy to go crazy or be unable to continue practicing. The inferior skills are better, but they are really inconspicuous, and their magical powers are generally not great. After all, most people practice the same inferior skills. If you really want to fight, you still have to fight with magic weapons and qualifications. But ordinary skills The law is different. Ordinary exercises have no side effects, and there are no special requirements for practice. The speed of absorbing vitality is not bad, which is something that all cultivators must consider when they first practice. If the lower level exercises are practiced first If you want to change your basic skills in the future, the price will be extremely high, so you have to practice ordinary level skills from the beginning." When he said this, he looked at it with a complicated expression. Taking a look at the jade slip in his hand, he continued with emotion: "I originally stayed in Yujian City for so many years just to accumulate Yuanjing to buy ordinary level skills. Although I have some connections, I can buy them at a cheaper price. However, even though I have worked hard for that terrifying price, I still feel that it is beyond my reach. I didn’t expect that I would get it in this way today, and it is a relatively good five-turn golden body among the ordinary metal-level techniques. It is really difficult in this world. material."
From what he said, this five-turn golden body seems to be a pretty good technique? This made Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but inquire about Huan Chenyu through spiritual contact. After all, Huan Chenyu himself has the metallic origin spiritual root and should know about it. From Huan Chenyu's introduction, he knew that this Golden Body series of exercises was divided into three levels and nine turns, with each three turns being one level. Although it was the same exercise, he didn't know which senior he started it from. , it was split into three parts and spread widely.
