Chapter 1: Odd Jobs
puff!
Chen Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with fear and horror.
For three whole months, he endured the horrible pain all the time, and even his Dantian was damaged, causing him to be kicked out of the list of outer disciples of Nanli Sword Sect and demoted to a small errand boy.
It took more than a month to finally save his life in a thrilling way.
As a disciple of a second-rate sect in the world of cultivation, and also a minor genius among the outer sect, Chen Li naturally knew that he had been possessed by another spirit before. Fortunately, the person who possessed his body was just an ordinary spirit, so he was almost devoured by him.
Looking at the damaged and chaotic Dantian, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Hey, that loser is sitting on the Overlook Cliff again. Is he thinking of committing suicide?"
"That's hard to say. He was a little genius in the outer sect before. He had a hint of spiritual charm after one year of entering the sect. Unexpectedly, something went wrong during his training, and that's why his Qi Reversal Technique was reversed and backfired. It was also Elder Wu's kindness that demoted him to the menial job. Otherwise, he would have been expelled from the sect."
"That's right, it's a pity for this young man. He originally had a bright future. Who knows, he might be able to comprehend spiritual power and reach the Qi training stage. Then he would live a long life and enjoy a prosperous life."
"Hehe, what's a pity? I'm just a peasant who was lucky enough to be appreciated. But that's the fate of peasants. In the end, I still became a useless person.
Moreover, I'm the only one in the past hundred years whose skills backfired in the Lingyun stage."
The servants passing by the overlooking cliff looked at Chen Li one by one and talked about it.
Feeling the spiritual charm almost means that one can practice martial arts, and there is almost a 99% chance of entering the Qi training stage. It will be impossible for a martial arts technique to be reversed in the spiritual charm stage for thousands of years.
After all, this is the lowest level of entry. For ordinary disciples, they are either unable to feel the spiritual charm, or they can enter the stage of Qi training in a few days at the fastest, or even one or two years at the slowest.
Only Chen Li could reverse his martial arts at this level.
Chen Li naturally heard what these people were talking about, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He carefully took out a letter from his body. It was a letter from his eldest sister and third sister.
"Second brother is doing well. I have received the silver you sent back. There is no need to worry at home. My younger sister has also entered the academy. You can practice without worry. I will take care of you at home."
Chen Li felt a warm feeling in his heart when reading the short letter. Since his parents died when he was three years old, it was his eldest sister who raised them. It can be said that without his eldest sister, he and his younger sister might have become a pile of dry bones.
Then he looked at another letter. The words on the letter were crooked, like tadpoles running around. He could tell at a glance that it was his younger sister's handwriting.
"Hello, second brother. Big sister bought me new clothes. I miss you so much. When will you come back? The stinky fat pig is here again and wants me to be his aunt. Big sister doesn't want to. The stinky fat pig wants us to die. Second brother, please come back soon and kill the stinky fat pig."
Chen Li frowned. The stinky fat pig that his third sister was talking about was the third young master of the You family, a large family in Youlin City. He was a playboy who did all kinds of evil things. Before Chen Li entered the Nanli Sect, he had repeatedly tried to force his elder sister to become his concubine. If it weren't for his elder sister's firm belief, and if they hadn't refused to yield even at the cost of their lives, they would have been snatched away long ago.
Fortunately, the laws in Nanchu State, where Nanli Sect is located, are strict, which prevents them from acting recklessly. However, they also used some means, which made their family's life increasingly difficult.
It was not until Chen Li entered the Nanli Sect and became an outer disciple that she restrained herself. But I didn't expect that she would now want her younger sister to be her concubine, and her younger sister was only twelve years old.
"The You family, damn it." Chen Li's expression was a little ferocious. The people he cared about most in this world were his elder sister and younger sister.
"I must, I must hurry and become a cultivator, a true outer disciple. Otherwise, once the news that I have been sent to the menial service department is brought back to Youlin City, the You family will certainly be fearless." Chen Li couldn't help but become impatient. In this world, survival depends on strength.
In the forest not far from the menial service department, Chen Li carefully took out two spirit stones from under the rocks. These were given to him by the outer sect elder Wu. However, because of the strange soul that had taken over his body, he was unable to practice at all. When he was demoted to the menial service department, he hid them here.
Spirit stones are precious treasures to the , and it is too dangerous to carry them with them.
Now the soul that had taken over his body had been completely devoured by him and would no longer interfere with his cultivation. However, he felt his own dantian was in chaos and he did not have much confidence in his cultivation.
With the Dantian in chaos, it becomes extremely difficult to practice martial arts. Even the slightest trace of spiritual energy can make him suffer excruciating pain.
"Pain, can it be more painful than losing a loved one? That You Sanlang is a wicked person, bullying men and women . How many women have been taken advantage of by him, and their bodies were left in the wilderness in just a few days. I must practice and must not let my elder sister and younger sister be in danger." Even though he knew that practicing would be extremely painful, Chen Li only hesitated for a moment, and then sat cross-legged to practice his skills.
The Nanli Dragon Elephant Technique is a basic technique. Every disciple of the Nanli Sect will obtain this technique after feeling the spiritual charm. Of course, it is only the first part, but if practiced well, one can reach the ninth level of spiritual energy.
Buzz! As the technique was running, a stream of heat instantly flowed into the body, and then traces of spiritual energy began to gather. Chen Li knew that this was spiritual power running along the meridians.
Hmm? Chen Li frowned suddenly, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The moment the spiritual power entered Dantian, waves of soul-tearing pain instantly came over him. This kind of pain was like digging out the marrow and scraping the bones, making people feel miserable.
Chen Li gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
"Even if I die, I must continue to practice." Chen Li roared in his heart. As he continued to practice, spiritual power continued to gather. In the originally chaotic Dantian, there was a faint trace of spiritual power flowing.
"Okay, okay. With this trace of spiritual power, it won't take long for me to condense a cyclone in my dantian, and then I can enter the outer gate again." Chen Li was delighted. The first ray of spiritual power was extremely important. It would be much easier to overcome the difficulties with the first ray.
He took out the spirit stone. At this time, relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice is slow, but it is different with the spirit stone. When you come into contact with the spiritual charm and step into the Qi training, the sect will give you a spirit stone. He has two. After absorbing one spirit stone, those with poor talent can step into the first level of Qi training, and those with good talent can even step into the fifth level of Qi training and the realm of bone refining.
He has two spirit stones in his hand. If he can absorb them, then even if his talent is poor, he will be able to reach the third level.
The third level is already a relatively good position among the outer disciples.
Holding a spirit stone in his hand, Chen Li practiced his skills. Strands of pure spiritual power continuously gathered and were then absorbed into his body. In just two or three hours, Chen Li's dantian was filled with a large amount of spiritual power.
"This, this... Am I a genius?" Feeling the rich spiritual power in his Dantian, Chen Li couldn't help but be surprised, because in just a few hours, he had absorbed such a huge amount of spiritual power. With these spiritual powers alone, his strength has reached at least the third level of Qi training, and all the spiritual power is now spinning wildly, and a small cyclone is faintly formed.
That is the spiritual power dantian. If it is completed, he can directly step into the peak of the third level of Qi training.
"Not good!" After just a moment, Chen Li, who was originally excited and happy, suddenly changed his expression. Then the cyclone that had just formed seemed to be pulled and absorbed by something. A stream of pure spiritual power was pulled into the void deep in his dantian, and then it seemed to be swallowed by something and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This...this...damn it..." Chen Li was at a loss, because there was only the initial trace of spiritual power left in his dantian. There was no cyclone left, which made him extremely angry.
He was almost there, he almost had the strength of the third level of Qi training and could safely become an outer disciple. Then his eldest sister and third sister would not be bullied and would be able to live a good life. But the heaven played a joke on him, and in the blink of an eye he was back to square one again.
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I will practice again." Chen Li roared silently, then he started to practice, took the only remaining spirit stone in his hand, and started to practice again.
Zizizizi... The spiritual power in the spirit stone was absorbed crazily, and then strands of spiritual power entered the Dantian again, but just like at the beginning, every time a strand of spiritual power entered, Chen Li felt as painful as if his marrow was being dug out and his bones scraped.
The cyclone appeared again in the Dantian, and at the same time, the terrible suction force also appeared like a shadow, and then pulled strands of spiritual power into the depths of the Dantian. At this time, Chen Li also noticed that in the dark abyss deep in the Dantian, there was a bright spot like dust. As the bright spot flickered, all the spiritual power was swallowed up by it.
Suddenly Chen Li seemed to understand, and he was filled with hatred: "Damn it, it's you, it's you, you're not dead yet."
Angry, extremely angry, he now understood that this damn bright spot was most likely brought by the spiritual consciousness that took over his body. Although that spiritual consciousness was completely devoured by him, this strange bright spot still existed and was still robbing him of his spiritual power.
"Listen to me, I don't care whether you are dead or not. If you try to rob me of my spiritual power, you will not be able to have an easy life. My cultivation level will be too low to enter the outer sect, and I will not have more resources to cultivate. You will be half dead. If you want to grow stronger, you must grow with me, or we will die together."
Chen Li's heart was filled with determination. Cultivation was too important to him, not only for himself, but also for his family.
Sure enough, as Chen Li roared, the bright spot actually flickered twice, and then a pure fiery red spiritual power was spit out, merging with Chen Li's first spiritual power, and then turned into a small cyclone. At the same time, Chen Li only felt that his whole body was hot, as if he was burned by a raging fire. He was even unable to move, and suddenly fainted.
Zizizizi...Crack...
After a whole night, Chen Li finally woke up. The moment he woke up, he found that his body seemed to be covered by a hard shell.
At the same time, a voice was heard from a distance.
"Found it. I found that loser. He was hiding here. There are also spirit stones. Hehe, you little bastard, you are done this time."
