In the middle of the night, on the precious mahogany sofa in the living room of the Lin family in the capital, an old man with crane hair and a childish face sat cross-legged in a coarse cloth robe, his eyes flashing over the faces of everyone present, and he inadvertently showed a smile.

And this kind of laughter made Lin Changshan, the head of the Lin family, shudder, and everyone fell silent for a while.

After a long while, a choked voice sounded.

"Sir, be sure to bring ...... Take me away?"

It was Lin Changshan's wife and Lin Ming's mother who spoke.

She has been married to the Lin family for fifteen years, and this is the only time she has asked someone so carefully, and there is a hint of pleading in her tone.

After all, with the Lin family's power in the capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is calling for wind and rain.

And today, she can see from the eyes of her husband Lin Changshan that this old man with a childish face is a figure who can't even offend the Lin family.

The old man nodded firmly: "Definitely." Because the bloodline of the other son is different from ordinary people, even the old man can't figure out what kind of bloodline this is!"

You must know that in the cultivation system on the Dongwei Continent, the bloodline determines everything, and there are very few people with a gifted bloodline, not to mention that Lin Ming, a bloodline that even the old man can't find out, is a rare variety.

Therefore, the clear-eyed people know that the old man is going to take Lin Ming back to the sect to study it well, if it is usual, then the Lin family must not be happy, but the meaning that looms from the old man's words is to treat his own children as experiments, who can stand this?

At this point, all the Lin family members were desperate, only Lin Changshan clenched his fists and coldly popped out three words from between his teeth: "Why?"

The old man smiled faintly and said with a grin: "I will protect your Lin family for another three years." ”

"Then what if I don't agree?" Lin Changshan took a sip from his teacup, trying to hide his trembling lips as much as possible when he asked this sentence.

And the rest of the Lin family also gasped, focusing on the old man's body, and pinched a cold sweat in his heart.

The old man frowned slightly, and suddenly stood up, exuding an overwhelming coercion between his breaths, which shook Lin Changshan's chest with qi and blood tumbling over the river and the sea, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

This scared everyone present, with Lin Changshan's fivefold strength in the Qi refining period, he couldn't even withstand the momentum of the old man in front of him, it was enough to see how terrifying this old man's strength was.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, the old man withdrew the overwhelming coercion, and said lightly: "If you don't want to, you will destroy the door on the same day!"

What a domineering!

Leaving this sentence, the old man's figure flashed, and when he appeared in front of everyone again, he was carrying a fifteen-year-old boy who had been ordered to sleep, and then swaggered out of the gate of the Lin family.

No one dared to stop it, only Lin Ming's mother cried and wanted to rush forward, but was hugged by Lin Changshan.

Until the figure of the old man gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, the old man's extremely clear but not loud voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"If you go, you will die for a lifetime, and if you live, the Lin family will be prosperous for all eternity!"

......

Three years later, one noon.

At the gate of the Guiyun Sect, thousands of disciples from the outer sect were eager to try.

From their excited expressions and chattering conversations, it was not difficult to guess that today was the day of the assessment of the outer disciples.

And Lin Ming stood out a little from the crowd, he clenched his fists and stared at the simple rostrum set up at the gate of the Guiyun Sect.

He secretly told himself, Lin Ming, this is your last chance, as long as you enter the inner gate and become a disciple of the inner gate, no one in the capital will dare to eyed the Lin family anymore.

He was thinking about it when a conversation entered his ears.

"Look, that waste is here to take the test again. ”

"At the beginning, it was Elder Li who personally brought him here, and he said that it was a special talent bloodline, you see that now, he can't even break through the first level of qi refining. ”

"That is, he doesn't pee on his own virtues, and some of the senior brothers who came with him have become the core disciples of the inner gate, and if you look at him again, he is simply a weak chicken, and he is still doing miscellaneous work with our disciples in the outer gate. ”

........

Although the words were ugly, Lin Ming couldn't refute them.

Indeed, Xiuzhen is based on qi refining, which is collectively referred to as the qi refining period, which is divided into nine levels, and the first of these is to concentrate and gather qi.

In the past three years in the outer gate, Lin Ming has tried all kinds of methods, and he doesn't even know how many elixirs Elder Li secretly gave him, but he can't master the essentials of concentrating his energy no matter what.

He felt that his meridians were like a bottomless pit, and even the Quenching Pill that was regarded as a treasure by the cultivation realm had no effect at all, and the huge spiritual energy injected into the meridians was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no trace could be found in any case.

Disappointment after disappointment again and again made Elder Li almost forget about him, a gifted outer disciple, and Lin Ming went from being one of the most dazzling people at the beginning, to the point where even the most rubbish outer disciple could humiliate him at will, and he experienced a loss unimaginable to ordinary people.

And this assessment is his last chance!

Thinking of this, Lin Ming gritted his teeth fiercely, and said secretly: "You wait, even if I give up my life, I must succeed this time! Father, mother, you also watch, your son is not a waste, with me, the Lin family will not collapse!"

And at this moment, a young man on the rostrum slowly stood up, cleared his throat, and his voice was as bright as a bell: "Everyone, I, Qin Yu, as one of the core disciples of the inner gate, have the honor to be the examiner of this inner disciple selection, now I will talk about the rules of this assessment........"

When thousands of outer disciples heard the name Qin Yu, they were all amazed.

You must know that this Qin Yu is a real pride of the sky, and he is the same batch of seedlings brought by Elder Li as Lin Ming, but he passed the assessment in the first year, and in less than a year of cultivation in the inner gate, he awakened his own black python bloodline and was directly promoted to the core disciple.

And right now, people's cultivation is already the third level of the Qi refining period, and this kind of cultivation speed is also one of the few geniuses in the entire Guiyun Sect!

"Seventh Prince Qin Yu!" Lin Ming's heart chuckled, this is really afraid of anything.

Thinking that when he was in the outer gate, Qin Yu used his identity as a royal family in the capital to bully Lin Ming, although Lin Ming was dissatisfied and resisted, but in the face of absolute strength, he had to temporarily avoid the edge and have been forbearing.

The resentment between the two is so deep, and it is not for no reason, as early as hundreds of years ago, in order to compete for the country, the ancestors of the Lin family and the Qin family are simply two incompatible forces in the capital.

Later, the Qin family took the throne and grasped the imperial power, and the Lin family began the fate of being oppressed all the time, and this hatred was also grafted from the older generation to their generation, and they were even more jealous and hateful!
