At the end of the town is a green mountain that is more than ten feet tall.
Above the green mountains, there are clouds and mist. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is ethereal, like a wandering white snake, hovering around the green mountains, exuding a faint curling fragrance, which has the effect of refreshing and calming the mind.
The cries of birds and roars of animals that occasionally sounded around the green mountains also fell silent the next moment and disappeared in the valley when passing through the spiritual energy carrying the essence of all things.
Ta-ta...
On the empty and lonely green mountain, the sound of a string of chess pieces being placed on the board suddenly sounded. Looking up, I saw two figures sitting cross-legged on two blue stones at the highest point, facing each other.
"Haha, old guy, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that my cultivation has not improved much, but my ability to play chess has become more and more proficient."
A faint smile sounded, and one of the figures raised his head slightly, revealing an unusually handsome face. His temperament is out of the ordinary, and his whole body is surrounded by slight fluctuations of spiritual energy, but it is slightly different from the spiritual energy. It is this unusual smell that makes him more and more mysterious.
At this time, he looked at the one-sided situation presented on the chessboard, with the corner of his mouth slightly pulled, and his face slightly bitter, as if if he made a slight mistake, he would lose the whole game in the next moment.
Sitting opposite him was an old man. He was said to be an old man, but he only had a few wrinkles on his forehead, his hair was completely black, and he did not show any obvious signs of aging.
Hearing this, the chess piece he was about to put into the game paused for a moment, and then he looked directly at the person opposite him. At the same time, he revealed a weathered face and said softly and authentically:
"You and I are both in the first realm after entering the Xuan Dynasty, so the gap is not huge. Besides, at my age, my cultivation energy has been exhausted, so how can I compare with you."
Just as he was talking, the last chess piece in the old man's hand also fell into the plate, and a hexagonal formation was immediately formed, completely sealing the opponent.
"Ahem," the young man felt a little uneasy when he saw this, "We are both in the first level of Nascent Mysticism, but I stepped into the second level two months ago." It seemed that he was aware of the shortcomings of his own game skills, The young man had to find every opportunity to overpower the old man in terms of cultivation.
The old man didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "In terms of cultivation talent, I am indeed inferior to you, but my grandson has an extraordinary appearance that even you cannot compare to."
"Oh?" The young man suddenly became interested, "How about you tell me about it?"
"I started practicing at the age of thirteen. It took ten days to sense and condense the first Tao Qi. After two months, I was surrounded by three Tao Qi."
The old man spoke slowly and calmly, but the sound that fell into the young man's ears was like a bombshell.
"What did you say?! You sensed three qi in two months?" The young man stood up suddenly, his voice doubled in volume, and his face was filled with disbelief.
For early stage practitioners, sensing the aura of heaven and earth and condensing the first Tao Qi is the most critical step. Undoubtedly, this step is also extremely difficult, and it is this step that deters many people who want to practice. If they fail at the first level, they will not be able to practice in the future.
And relatively speaking, adolescence is often more fundamental than later adulthood. But whether that kind of root can be awakened in adolescence is another matter. Because most of the root bones tend to have growth potential, although the root bones are immature during adolescence, the number of them is much greater than later. Therefore, people with extremely strong talents often have the ability to continue to grow the bones in their bodies when they first perceive spiritual energy. Therefore, they can have the same number and degree of growth as they did at a young age. The roots and bones in adulthood are then reached, and then the ability to meet the conditions for cultivation is achieved. Moreover, the early cultivation ability is stronger than the later ability and continues to be.
The old man glanced at him sideways and said: "Shu Yuan, with such a talent, even compared to the so-called geniuses who have recently emerged in the Linchuan family, it is not far behind."
The young man named Shu Yuan took a deep breath, and his expression gradually recovered, but he still couldn't hide the shock in his voice: "Today I just want to see if your grandson is as good as you said. Like this."
Based on his understanding of the old man, he knew that he could not deceive him, but he was a little unbelievable, because there were not many such talented people, not to mention the Linchuan family, even if he looked at the broader outside world. See. Therefore, he wanted to personally witness what the old man said.
"It should be soon..." The old man squinted his eyes slightly and seemed to make an inaudible sound...
The scorching sun gradually set in the west, pouring out the few afterglows. When the last tiny golden light shone on the top of the mountain, the silent atmosphere was finally broken.
boom!
A loud noise suddenly rang in his ears. Before Shu Yuan could recover, he found that a huge body was already lying in front of him. The golden afterglow brought by dusk was also shrouded by the sudden darkness.
"Uncle Niu, Master Yu and I are back with my little brother A Qing!"
Feng Yu's awesome and coaxing voice also came from not far away.
Shu Yuan's heart moved, but the next moment he saw the old man getting up. Just when he focused all his attention on Feng Yu, he saw the old man Hei, known as Uncle Niu, with a strange look on his face. He slowly stood up and walked towards Feng Yu. He had the same indifferent expression as he had been playing with before. , also disappeared at this moment.
The moment Ah Qing, who was not far away, saw Uncle Niu getting up, he secretly thought something was wrong and subconsciously poked his brother Yu, who was still feeling proud. However, when he saw that Feng Yu was still immersed in his own world and did not notice the situation in front of him, he consciously stayed away from him.
boom!
Feng Yu didn't realize that Uncle Niu was approaching, so he took a hard hit from Uncle Niu that caused his brain to collapse.
"ah!"
Feng Yu screamed, and immediately ran away with his head in pain, breaking out in cold sweat.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Uncle Niu, I will never call myself master in front of you again!"
As Feng Yu continued to cry out for mercy, Uncle Niu stopped what he was doing and his expression softened slightly.
"Is this the body of a low-level rock-armored beast?"
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind. Then Feng Yu and Ah Qing saw a handsome young man walking towards them, it was Shu Yuan.
Just when the two of them were confused, Shu Yuan's startled voice came again, "This low-level rock-armored beast's strength alone is enough to compete with the cultivators who have cultivated the four paths of Dao Qi. Coupled with its extremely hard body, If the outer shell actually touches it, even practitioners of the five qi will be helpless!"
Shu Yuan stared at Feng Yu, his eyes suddenly became eager, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
"Ahem," Uncle Niu coughed lightly at the right time and explained to Feng Yu and the others, "This is Shu Yuan, an old friend of mine. You can call him Uncle Shu."
Before Uncle Niu finished speaking, Shu Yuan eagerly took over, "Little guy, you were the one who killed this rock-armored beast, right? I wonder how many Tao Qi you have cultivated so far?"
Feng Yu frowned slightly. He was really not interested in this guy who he had never met before but acted so eagerly in front of him. However, when he saw that Uncle Niu did not say anything to stop him, but instead acted as if he acquiesced, he no longer remained silent and said: "Currently, it is the third path."
As he spoke, waves of energy surged, and the three qi hidden in the body swarmed out, hovering around Feng Yu, making Feng Yu look even more ethereal.
"call…"
Shu Yuan let out a breath and forced himself to calm down. If he had just heard that Feng Yu had cultivated three Tao Qi at a young age, he would be shocked, but he would not think about it for so long. But now, using three channels of Dao Qi to kill a rock-armored beast that was comparable to five channels of Dao Qi, his talent made it impossible for him to maintain a good mood.
Shu Yuan slowly retreated and came to Uncle Niu's side. His expression was solemn, but there was also a hint of ecstasy. He lowered his voice and said: "You have such a grandson, why don't you take him away from here? Although this place is full of spiritual energy. , vast and unusual, but you and I both know that the conditions that this environment can provide you are not as good as the cultivation resources provided by the aristocratic families outside. How can your cultivation speed be comparable to that of those aristocratic families outside by just relying on you to hunt mysterious beasts like this? How do you compare the talent that you have spent all your resources on cultivating? He will leave here one day, and when he discovers that those people are not more talented than himself but have greater strength than him, what will he think?"
Uncle Niu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I have my own plan, you should leave first..."
Shu Yuan's eyes widened and he was about to say something, but he met Uncle Niu's impatient dark eyes. Knowing his mental state at this time, he didn't say a word, shook his head slightly, and walked away.
