The young man was very angry and did what he was told. The next day, when the morning light was dimming, Lin Yansheng hurriedly rushed into the training ground on the edge of Tai'an Town and found one of the instructors - Zhang Kunran.
Zhang Kunran was a tall and strong man with a resolute face. He looked very surprised when he saw Lin Yansheng arriving.
"You want to practice martial arts? Did Mr. Qing ask you to come?" Knowing Lin Shengsheng's intention, he asked somewhat suspiciously.
Zhang Kunran had received guidance from Qing Yu back then. He had been in contact with Qing Yu's family over the years, and the two parties were familiar with each other. He naturally knew that Qing Yu did not allow Lin Sheng to practice martial arts.
"Well...my master promised to let me try it."
Lin Yansheng smiled and waved to Zhang Kunran: "Brother Kunran, please make arrangements for me."
"Well... you want to practice martial arts... it's a derivative. It's a very important matter. I still want to discuss it with my husband..."
But at this time, Zhang Kunran, who had always valued Lin Yansheng's talent and wanted him to practice martial arts, seemed a little shy. He looked behind him and did not immediately agree to Lin Yansheng's request.
"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"
A chuckle came from behind Zhang Kunran, and a young man walked in from outside the camp, came to them, and asked with a smile.
This young man looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a feminine face, fair complexion, narrow eyes, and a very handsome appearance.
He seemed to be a disciple here for training, but he was dressed in silk and silver clothes, dressed like a rich man. He stood here calmly. This posture was in sharp contrast to the sweating disciples outside. It seems like they belong to two different worlds.
"Who is this little brother?"
The young man was tall and tall, a head taller than Lin Yansheng. He looked down at Lin Yansheng, then smiled curiously and asked Zhang Kunran.
"Back to Master Junxi, his name is Lin Yansheng, he is..."
In front of the young man in silver armor, Zhang Kunran, who maintained a majestic posture in front of others, sounded a little reserved, to the point of being...even respectful.
"Oh, Lin Shengsheng...is he the disciple of Mr. Qingyu you mentioned to me before?"
The young man in silver armor seemed to be accustomed to Zhang Kunran's low attitude. He replied casually. At the same time, he looked Lin Yansheng up and down and said meaningfully: "Fourth level of body training, not bad. It seems that Mr. Qing is really a good guide." ."
Zhang Kunran's expression changed imperceptibly.
"Um...this big brother, who are you?"
Lin Yansheng on the side naturally did not understand the deep meaning of the two men's words, but was a little confused as to why the young man in silver knew about him.
"Haha, don't be nervous. My name is Zhang Junxi. Are you here to train too? Very good. You have martial arts skills and ambition at a young age!"
Zhang Junxi patted Lin Yansheng's shoulder and smiled in a friendly manner.
Zhang Junxi?
Hearing this name, Lin Yansheng's eyes suddenly widened a bit, and his expression was shocked. The name Zhang Junxi was very famous in this training camp. He is the young master of the Zhang family in Zifeng City next door.
Zifeng City is one of the largest cities in Tiannan County, and the Zhang family is a giant family among them. With such a family behind him, Zhang Junxi's background can be said to be illustrious.
Zhang Junxi not only has an extraordinary background, but also has amazing cultivation. He has already reached the peak of the ninth level of body training. He is the kind of person who can go to a high-class martial arts house with his eyes closed during the general election.
But why would such a person ask about him and his master?
Is it because of Zhang Kunran?
For some reason, Lin Shengsheng was a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He said a few words to Zhang Junxi and Zhang Kunran again, and then was sent away.
And with Zhang Junxi helping to speak, Zhang Kunran naturally had to agree to his training.
"Not bad...not bad! That Mr. Qing seems to be quite capable. The disciples he taught have such abilities. Uncle Kunran, you said he is fifteen years old, right? The fourth level of body training at this age is quite extraordinary. ”
Watching Lin Yansheng leave, Zhang Junxi suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Kunran, seeming to say in admiration: "How is the thing I asked you to do?"
Hearing this, Zhang Kunran's eyes narrowed slightly on his downcast face, but he did not immediately reply.
"Young Master, Mr. Qing... doesn't seem to be good at using the medicines used by warriors. He might be... hard to control magic medicine like "Blood Coagulation Grass"." After a few breaths, Zhang Kunran said with guilt in his voice.
"Ha..." Zhang Junxi suddenly sneered.
"Zhang Kunran...you want to deceive me?" He glanced sideways at Zhang Kunran, with a hint of coldness in his originally calm tone.
He stood up and looked down at Zhang Kunran in front of him, as if he was looking at a raised wolf dog.
"A warrior who is at least in the Blood Tempering Realm... doesn't know how to refine medicine?"
"His blood is a great tonic!"
"No... I don't dare..." Zhang Kunran said hurriedly, his head hanging deeply as a cold voice reached his ears.
"Don't worry, it's just a medicine, it won't kill him." Zhang Junxi patted Zhang Kunran on the shoulder.
"But since you don't want to go find him, I won't make it difficult for you. This time, I will go find him myself!"
When he said this, Zhang Junxi smiled deeply, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
————
The content of the training camp is very simple. In addition to normal vitality cultivation and teaching of fighting skills, it is physical training. This is also the only event that Lin Shengsheng can participate in.
Physical training, to put it simply, means wearing an iron suit weighing dozens of kilograms to complete various trainings in order to sharpen one's physical body.
Simple and crude, but the effect is undeniable.
Of course, there is no doubt about the amount of training. As expected, after a day of training, Lin Shengsheng was exhausted to death...
"It's finally over...I'm tired, I'm exhausted..."
Lin Yansheng collapsed on the grass with his arms and legs spread out, staring at the sky, breathing heavily, sweating profusely, and looking like he was half dead.
Today's training can be regarded as a miserable training for him.
Now he only felt a fire burning in his chest, and every breath caused severe tearing pain in his heart and lungs. His whole body was filled with soreness and numbness. He really didn't even have the strength to get up!
The master is indeed right... practicing martial arts is really not something that ordinary people can do!
Just when Lin Yansheng was complaining secretly, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Well, little guy, you're doing well. Come on, get up."
Lin Yansheng looked closely and saw a tall young man wearing a short shirt.
"Ha, thanks."
Lin Yansheng smiled gratefully, stretched out his hand, held the young man's palm, and struggled to stand up.
However, perhaps because his physical energy was exhausted so much, even with the help of the young man, he staggered while getting up and was about to fall to the ground.
Buzz——
But at this moment, a warm current suddenly shot out from Lin Yansheng's chest and suddenly fell into Lin Yansheng's body.
With the support of this warm current, Lin Yansheng's body that was about to fall to the ground suddenly felt a surge of strength, allowing him to stabilize his body.
"Huh? That was just now..."
Lin Yansheng, who finally stood up straight, frowned slightly. The warmth just now...
Illusion?
"Let me meet you. My name is Xu Yue. I come from the Xu family in Zifeng City."
The tall young man smiled at Lin Yansheng.
As he spoke, he pointed to a petite and pretty girl beside him: "This young lady's name is Bai Chuchu, and she comes from the Bai family in Purple Maple City."
"Brother Xu, Sister Bai." Lin Shengsheng was stunned and called out obediently.
The Xu family and the Bai family are also prominent families in Zifeng City, and their power is not much weaker than that of the Zhang family.
"Little brother, you seem to be a local of Tai'an Town, right?" Xu Yue smiled and said, "It's already pretty good that you can persist in today's training."
"Practice hard, and in three years, you may have the opportunity to go to Lei Xiaowu Mansion." Bai Chuchu also said with a sweet smile.
Lei Xiaowu Mansion, the number one martial manor in the Kingdom of God.
Being able to name the martial arts palace after the name of the country "Leixiao", one can imagine the strength and status of the Leixiao martial arts palace. This kind of existence can be said to be the highest holy land of martial arts in the hearts of all young warriors in the Kingdom of God.
However, the threshold for Lei Xiaowu Mansion is also very high. Among so many people present, Zhang Junxi may be the only one who hopes to enter Lei Xiaowu Mansion. Others don't even have to think about it.
"If you have a chance, you can come to Zifeng City to play." She stretched out her little hand and gently handed over a sign, which was an order to enter the city.
There was a hint of intimacy in Bai Chuchu's words. Although Lin Shengsheng's performance today was a bit embarrassing, considering his age, it was quite good to be able to do this.
In terms of talent, he may not be much worse than the two of them.
Obviously, after seeing Lin Yansheng's talent, these two young masters and ladies from the Xu family and the Bai family also had some intention of getting close to him and recruiting him.
For these talented young warriors, it is always good to win over one or two.
Boom——
A loud noise accompanied by a bolt of purple lightning pierced the sky, interrupting the conversation of the three.
"Well, it's going to rain." Xu Yue frowned, looking at the suddenly darkening sky.
"Forget it, training is over anyway."
He looked at Lin Yansheng and smiled: "Little brother, we will meet tomorrow...little brother?"
Xu Yue frowned again, because he saw that Lin Shengsheng ignored his words and instead looked blankly at the sky, where there was thunder and lightning.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Chuchu also noticed Lin Yansheng's abnormality and stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of him.
"Ah...it's nothing, I just felt that the thunder today was quite loud..." Lin Yansheng finally came back to his senses and smiled shyly.
"Okay... I'll see you tomorrow." Xu Yue shook his head in amusement and waved his hands.
"Well, see you tomorrow!" Lin Yansheng nodded.
Xu Yue and Bai Chuchu left, leaving behind Lin Yansheng who was full of doubts.
He looked at the sky, where there was roaring thunder and lightning and dense clouds, but he did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he felt that all the flesh and blood in his body was churning amidst the roaring thunder.
This is……
Lin Yansheng's purple eyes reflected the thunderous light in the sky, and he suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed... a hunger and heat for thunder and lightning!
But he didn't notice that at the collar, the blue bead that had been with him for more than ten years began to shine with a little blue light. The blue light flickered, as if it was swallowing something.
But this feeling came and went just as quickly. After more than ten breaths, the heat and desire faded away, and there was no longer any sensation, just like a hallucination.
Tick tock…
The drizzle of rain fell and everyone left one after another. Lin Yansheng was naturally ready to go home after the strange feeling disappeared.
"I would have brought an umbrella if I had known better." Lin Yansheng complained secretly. Now he might have to run home in the rain.
"Haha, Lin Shengsheng, right? It's raining, how about I take you back?"
But at this moment, a black umbrella suddenly covered Lin Yansheng's head, and a young man in silver walked up to Lin Yansheng and said with a smile.
This young man in silver is none other than Zhang Junxi.
"Master Zhang?" Lin Yansheng was stunned for a moment. He looked around and found that there were five men in black around Zhang Junxi. These men had calm eyes and impressive aura. They were obviously masters.
In the distance, Zhang Kunran gritted his teeth, but did not follow.
"Haha, let's go..." Zhang Jun Xilin looked at Lin Yansheng and said with a slight smile.
Lin Yansheng suddenly had a bad feeling and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang, but I don't need to trouble you anymore...ah, look, my master has come to pick me up!"
Lin Yansheng pointed in one direction.
Everyone looked over, where two people carrying packages and holding paper umbrellas slowly walked out.
It was Qing Yu and Ye Chunyu.
"What a coincidence..."
The appearance of Qingyu and his wife was obviously a bit beyond Zhang Junxi's expectation.
But immediately, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
It really takes no effort at all!
"Haha, is this Mr. Qingyu?" Zhang Junxi took two steps forward, cupped his hands slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Junior Zhang Junxi from Zifengcheng, I have admired your name for a long time."
Zhang Junxi's words were quite polite and appropriate, but there was not much kindness in his slightly curved eyes, instead they were filled with indifference.
"..."
The sudden greeting also made Qingyu and Qingyu startled for a moment. Their half-confused and half-worried eyes intertwined in the air.
After gently holding Ye Chunyu's hand and signaling her not to act rashly, Qingyu took two steps forward and faced Zhang Junxi directly.
"Young Master Zhang, you're welcome."
Qingyu said: "I wonder what business Mr. Zhang has for me as his apprentice?"
"Haha, of course I have nothing to do with this little brother. But..." Zhang Junxi laughed and continued:
"I do have something to ask Mr. Qingyu."
"What's up?"
"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter." Zhang Junxi said lightly: "I have heard that Mr. Qingyu's medical skills are unparalleled, and he is also good at refining medicine. I just searched for a herb a few days ago and I need your help to refine its essence. "
With that said, Zhang Junxi pointed to Zhang Kunran who was not far away: "I already sent someone to talk to my husband about this matter a few days ago. I think you don't need me to elaborate on it anymore, right?"
"After the matter is completed, Junxi would like to ask Mr. Zhang to be my guest in the Zhang family."
Refining medicine?
At this time, there were still many people in the field who had not left. They were all stunned when they heard Zhang Junxi's request.
Zhang Junxi... brought so many people here, acting like he was trying to force others into trouble, but the purpose was just to find someone to refine the medicine?
He also said that after the matter is completed, he is willing to invite this person named Qingyu to be the guest of the Zhang family?
This condition... sounds like it's okay.
"This Zhang Junxi... actually wants to ask someone to make medicine?"
However, there are also people who are more thoughtful, such as Xu Yue and Bai Chuchu. At this time, the two of them frowned and looked at each other, seemingly confused about Zhang Junxi's purpose.
As a giant family in Zifeng City, the Zhang family has its own alchemist, so why do they need to come to this small Tai'an town to hire additional people?
Unless... that medicinal material cannot be practiced by members of the Zhang family.
After thinking for a few breaths, Bai Chuchu seemed to suddenly remember something, and let out a low cry:
"Could it be...that blood-coagulating grass?"
"Zhang Kunran told me about refining medicine a few days ago. I already know about it, but after all, my cultivation is limited... I wonder if I can..."
However, facing this seemingly sincere invitation, Qingyu declined after pondering for a while.
Obviously, Qingyu also had some understanding of this matter and did not agree hastily.
"Limited cultivation? Haha! Mr. Qingyu is joking!" Hearing Qingyu's refusal, Zhang Junxi did not intend to give up. He took a step forward and looked at Qingyu like a superior, with a cold look in his eyes. Feishuo said meaningfully: "Whether your cultivation level is enough or not is not up to you."
Whoosh——
A sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly drowned out the sound of dripping rain, and a figure passed through the heavy rain curtain, quickly enlarging in people's eyes.
It was an old man in silver robes. The old man's hair was gray, but there was a sparkle in his eyes that made everyone's heart palpitate!
He flew through the wind and rain, using the strength of many trees to continuously eject in the air, looking like a hunting falcon!
After just a few breaths, the old man arrived in front of everyone and looked at everyone present with an indifferent expression.
"The third elder of the Zhang family? Zhang Juntan?" Bai Chuchu and Xu Yue, who were still looking like they were watching a show, suddenly changed their expressions.
Zhang Juntan is one of the actual leaders of the Zhang family, and his cultivation has already reached above the level of blood tempering!
Unexpectedly, this time, this person actually came.
"Third Grandpa." Zhang Junxi bowed respectfully to the old man, then pointed to Qingyu and asked:
"What do you think of Mr. Qing's cultivation level?"
"Blood Tempering Peak." Zhang Juntan said in a hoarse voice, without any emotion in his tone.
It seems that this peak blood-quenching strength is just ordinary.
"Hehe, you are at the peak of blood quenching." Zhang Junxi smiled and looked at Qingyu: "Why should Mr. Qing be so modest? You see, my third grandfather is here in person this time. I hope you won't... refuse!"
The last three words Zhang Junxi said were particularly serious, and the smile on his face became particularly dazzling.
boom--
And at the same moment, the old man named Zhang Juntan also had a flash of light in his eyes, and he took a slight step forward. In an instant, a suffocating coercion swept across the place arrogantly. Shocking!
Everyone's expressions changed. This Mr. Qingyu was indeed hiding his secrets. He was at the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm. Perhaps the five Blood Tempering Realm masters could not stop him even if they joined forces. But now that the third master of the Zhang family is here in person, What can he do?
"Master..." Beside Qingyu, Lin Yansheng also noticed that something was wrong and looked at Qingyu anxiously.
boom!
Heavy rain fell and thunder roared, adding to the depressing atmosphere of the place.
"Okay... Mr. Zhang and this old man invited me very much, so how can I refuse?" In the dark sky, the people who were far away couldn't see Qingyu's face clearly, and in the end they could only hear his words. Some heavy sighs.
Qingyu looked back at Ye Chunyu and Lin Yansheng: "You go back first."
"Haha, sir, just agree."
Zhang Junxi grinned when he heard Qingyu's answer, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the men in black beside him: "You guys, why don't you come over and escort Mr. into the city."
As soon as Zhang Junxi finished speaking, several men in black jumped out and surrounded Qing Yu tightly in the center, their eyes wary.
"Master!" Lin Yansheng held Qingyu tightly. Now that the matter had come to this, he knew it was not a good thing.
Ye Chunyu also looked pale and hesitated to speak.
"What?" Qingyu glanced at Lin Yansheng and interrupted him directly: "Are you afraid that Mr. Zhang won't pay for the consultation?"
"go back!"
Qingyu slapped him directly next to Ye Chunyu, signaling them to leave quickly.
"Haha, little brother Lin, don't worry. How can my Zhang family be a freeloader?"
Zhang Junxi laughed loudly, then waved his hand, and threw a large bag of gold and silver into Lin Yansheng's hands.
"Mr. Qing, let's go!"
Qingyu's face looked a little gloomy under the dark clouds, but she didn't say anything more and slowly left with Zhang Junxi.
But before leaving, Zhang Junxi glanced at the old man named Zhang Juntan and quietly wiped his neck.
"Master's wife, this..." From behind, Lin Yansheng seemed to want to catch up, but was held down by Ye Chunyu.
"Don't go... something will happen." Ye Chunyu's feeble voice floated into Lin Yansheng's ears, with a hint of sadness.
At the same time, the jade hand that had been holding Lin Yansheng's arm was causing pain in his arm.
Lin Yansheng raised his head to look at Ye Chunyu, only to find that what appeared on Ye Chunyu's beautiful face was panic and uneasiness that he had never seen before in his life. The look in his beautiful eyes also changed as Qingyu left. Empty.
Like a swan that has had all its soul taken away, beautiful and sad.
"Fourth level of body training? Not bad."
The old man named Zhang Juntan did not leave, but suddenly walked up to Lin Yansheng, looked him up and down, and nodded as if he admired him very much.
As he spoke, the old man smiled slightly, and lightly patted Lin Yansheng's shoulder with his dry palm.
Lin Yansheng's heart skipped a beat, but before he could react, he was slapped on the shoulder.
A numb feeling flashed across Lin Yansheng's shoulders.
"What are you afraid of? Will I still harm you?"
Zhang Juntan laughed hoarsely: "Practice hard."
After saying that, Zhang Juntan took advantage of the wind and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
The Zhang family left, but the feeling of oppression remained in everyone's hearts.
"Who was that old man just now? What a strong sense of oppression!"
A young man participating in the training patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
"You don't know about him? He is the third elder of the Zhang family, a strong man whose realm has already surpassed the blood-quenching realm!"
"Beyond Blood Tempering?" The young man who asked the question had his eyelids twitching. He came from a small town in Tiannan County. There was no strong man of this level in their city!
"The Zhang family is indeed unfathomable. This background... ugh!"
"Yes, if Zhang Junxi also enters Lei Xiaowu Mansion, then... tsk tsk!"
"What a pity for that person named Qingyu."
Crack-squeak-!
Listening to everyone's words of praise and awe for the Zhang family's strength, Lin Yansheng lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly.
"Let's go..." Ye Chunyu grabbed Lin Yansheng's hand, whispered in an inaudible voice, and pulled him to turn around and leave.
Lin Yansheng did not react, but followed Ye Chunyu stiffly away like an old puppet.
Coupled with Ye Chunyu's lost look at this time, the two of them were dragging each other like two little puppets, stumbling and struggling in the lonely night.
"It seems...it's really because of the blood clotting grass..."
In the distance, Xu Yue and Bai Chuchu looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
They do know a little bit about the Blood Coagulation Grass. It is a vicious thing that grows in extremely yin places. Although it is rich in blood, it will also backfire on the pharmacist himself!
Zhang Junxi wants to use the blood energy of that blood-coagulating grass to break through the blood-quenching realm in one fell swoop before the election!
It's just that Qingyu will be gone in a bad way.
With Zhang Junxi's ruthless temperament, even if Qingyu didn't die from the backlash of the blood clotting grass, he might still be able to walk out of the Zhang family intact.
Boom——
A sound of thunder penetrated the sky again, startling everyone, and also allowing Lin Yansheng's pupils to regain focus.
Lin Shengshen was agitated and stared blankly at the thunder in the sky, bursts of purple light reflected in his eyes.
After a moment, the thunder dissipated, but the strange purple light in Lin Yansheng's eyes did not dissipate.
Purple light accumulates in the eyes, as if there is thunder in the eyes!
