Chapter 1 The Down and Out Young Patriarch

In the Chenbei Dynasty, the capital, the Dajiaochang in the capital.

It is now the cold winter period, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the eaves, and the entire capital city is shrouded in a snow-white severe cold.

Early in the morning, in a compound in the northwest of the capital, there was the sound of boxing exercises.

This is the place where the young masters and misses of the dignitaries in the capital practice boxing. There are instructors and various weapons in it.

But at this moment, there is only one young man in the big school field.

The boxing young man was handsome and handsome, about fifteen years old, but thin in stature.

The boy was punching here, and in the corner was a big yellow-haired dog, lying on its stomach and sleeping soundly.

"I will definitely reach the innate state, soon." Xiao Yu exhaled lightly, his eyes were very firm.

Immediately, he tried his best to feel the changes in his dantian.

He has reached the "Acquired Realm" for several years, but there is no progress at all, but Xiao Yu never gives up, he believes that he will break through this level.

The Chenbei Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, and it is prosperous and prosperous. It is a great state in the sky. It is a common practice here, and everyone from the current majesty to the common people is proud of being able to practice.

If you want to truly step into the ranks of cultivators, this innate realm is the only way to go.

Because in order to reach the innate realm, one must gather the "sea of ​​qi" first, and the sea of ​​qi can only be gathered to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, thus entering the "qi-gathering realm" naturally.

The only difference between the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm is that the Acquired Realm can be entered through physical strengthening of ordinary people.

But to step into the innate state, one must rely on one's own perception to condense the sea of ​​​​qi in the dantian. This is a hurdle, a hurdle to step into a true cultivator.

Xiao Yu tried for five years, but his dantian didn't respond at all.

But he was not discouraged, he came here to practice boxing every morning, regardless of the severe cold or heat, in order to let himself cross the acquired realm and reach the innate realm.

It was because of these beliefs that Xiao Yu did not give up. He knew that he was weak since he was a child, so he spent more time practicing than ordinary people.

"I still can't feel the sea of ​​qi, let's continue." After saying that, Xiao Yu sat up in meditation, slowly feeling the changes in his dantian.

And at this moment, four guards with knives came suddenly from the yard, and the leader was a young man.

"Hey, you guys, hurry up, the Eighth Prince is going to eat dog meat tonight, so hurry up and drag the dog back and slaughter it." The young man ordered arrogantly, completely ignoring Xiao Yu's existence.

"Stop!" Xiao Yu's complexion changed drastically, he shouted angrily, ran over and punched him.

The dog under the tree is called Rhubarb, which is half the height of a human being, and is Xiao Yu's only friend for so many years.

"Go away."

This young man is the attendant of the Eighth Prince, obeying the Eighth Prince's orders, and his own strength has reached the strength of the "early Qi Gathering Stage".

Qi Gathering Realm is the first realm of "Three Realms of Foundation Establishment", followed by "Qi Gathering Realm" and "Qi Ling Realm".

For each great realm, there are six small realms, which are the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, the small perfection, the great perfection, and the peak.

Those who step into the early stage of Qi Gathering Realm are the real cultivators.

Su Ming slapped this palm with a force of hundreds of kilograms.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu was sent flying, falling ten meters away.

When Xiao Yu didn't notice, the glass spherical pendant he had been wearing was crushed by himself.

What no one noticed was that an invisible energy suddenly came out of the pendant, and it just fell into his mind.

"The scorpion shakes the tree! With the power of your acquired state, you dare to fight against me at the Qi-gathering state?" Su Ming's eyes were full of disdain.

"Su Ming, a servant like you dared to hit me with your hands. You are committing the following crimes. You are looking for death!" Xiao Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pointed at the boy angrily.

The Xiao family is a big family in the capital, and he is the young head of the Xiao family. According to the law of the dynasty, Su Ming will be executed.

"The following offense? Do you really think that you are the young patriarch of the Xiao family? You are a superfluous existence in the capital. You really don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and the children of literati also try to cultivate? It's a dream! Don't forget that you are just a sick child, and the Xiao family really thinks of you. Shame, no, the whole capital is ashamed of you! I really don't understand what you mean." Su Ming raised his eyebrows, very disdainful.

If Xiao Yu was a commoner, he wouldn't be able to practice if he couldn't practice, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is that he is the only male in the Xiao family, and he is also the young head of the family.

The Xiao family is a big family in the capital. The reason why it is a big family is not because the Xiao family has produced many powerful cultivators, but because the Xiao family has been holding pens for a living for generations, and the Xiao family is full of scholars. People have practiced.

However, in the dynasty where martial arts were valued over literature, and cultivation became popular, Xiao Yu's idiotic cultivation behavior, together with the entire Xiao family, had become the laughing stock of the capital.

But now this guy really doesn't know what to do, how dare he stop what the Eighth Prince wants?

"Wow!"

Rhubarb, who was sleeping soundly, barked, because it was pulled by four guards with knives, and it was extremely reluctant.

"Let go of it!" Xiao Yu was furious.

This big yellow dog has been with me for seven or eight years, accompanying me when I am the loneliest.

If he hadn't been accompanied by Rhubarb these years, he really didn't know how he would have spent these days.

"I don't know what's good or bad!"

Su Ming was also angry, and he punched hard.

It seemed that because of the anger, the blood in Xiao Yu's body seemed to be boiling and burning. He suddenly stretched out his hand, and Su Ming's punch was caught by Xiao Yu just like that!

"What!?"

Su Ming saw that Xiao Yu's eyes turned blood red, and at the same time, his fists became numb as if they were pinched by iron tongs.

"I told you to let it go, didn't you hear?"

An extremely cold breath permeated the entire martial arts training hall. The icy chill seemed to come from the abyss under the Nine Nethernesses, and everyone's backs felt numb in an instant.

Those guards with knives were all pale, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Xiao Yu's gaze was like a cold thorn, staring at Su Ming.

At this moment, Su Ming was terrified and speechless.

"If you don't want to die, get out!" Xiao Yusen said coldly, and with a push, Su Ming was immediately pushed several meters away.

Su Ming was extremely surprised. Why did such a waste suddenly seem like a different person? Did he hide his strength?

But it's not right! He is obviously the strength of the acquired realm! But he clearly felt the fear from the depths of his soul just now!

"Xiao Yu, you have the guts! You dare to disobey what the Eighth Prince wants, you just wait for death!"

As soon as Su Ming gritted his teeth, although he was unwilling, he could only retreat temporarily.

"Master Su, what should we do? How can we explain to the Eighth Prince when we go back?" one of the guards whispered.

"Hmph! This kid is just a flashback, trash will always be trash! Come again tonight, if he dares to stop again! We will kill him!"

"rhubarb."

Xiao Yu walked to Da Huang's side, stroked Da Huang's head, his eyes were full of determination, and said: "I won't let anyone take you away, even if it's my life, I will protect you."

What Xiao Yu didn't notice was that Da Huang's eyes suddenly flashed with light.

...

That night, several figures sneaked into the Xiao family's mansion. They moved to the courtyard where Xiao Yu was, and then touched under the tree. A total of nine knives were raised and lowered, all aimed at Rhubarb.

"Wang..."

As soon as the rhubarb was handed over, he was stabbed several times, and was immediately beheaded to death.

These people are obviously Su Ming and a few guards with knives.

Su Ming grinned and said, "Seeing how cool you are during the day, I'll kill your dog today to see how high you can jump."

Suddenly, the door was opened, and Xiao Yu rushed out as soon as he heard the sound. When he saw the rhubarb lying in a pool of blood, his eyes turned red instantly.

"rhubarb!!!"

"You are courting death!"

When he saw that it was Su Ming and the others, Xiao Yu roared and punched them out.

"You trash, you..."

At first, I thought that Xiao Yu had no power and couldn't stir up many storms, but when Xiao Yu punched out, an extremely terrifying dead silence enveloped him like a heavy hammer.

"Bang bang bang!"

All nine people were blown away, spitting blood.

"How can it be?"

In the night, Xiao Yu's eyes looked extremely strange, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in that terrifying killing intent.

"There is something weird about him! Let's go!" Su Ming shouted, and immediately left with a few people.

Xiao Yu didn't chase them, seeing the motionless and breathless Rhubarb, his heart was bleeding.

He hated himself for not being able to protect his only friend, and he hated himself even more for being weak, a feeling of self-blame and shame suddenly welled up in his heart.

After a while, I don't know whether it was because of embarrassment or fatigue, Xiao Yu passed out...
