"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, wake up quickly. Nothing must happen to you!”A desolate and pale voice rang out in Ling Tian's ears as he finally woke up. Looking at the pale face that was filled with wrinkles and the bloodshot eyes that were filled with tears, Ling Tian hurriedly said,""Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Little Tian, you're awake. That's great, that's great. It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine! Little Tian, you've been unconscious for three days. You scared me to death.”Grandpa Ling said excitedly when he saw Ling Tian waking up.
" Three days? Three days?" Ling Tian had a confused look on his face, but his eyes were calm and composed. "Yeah! Little Tian, what's going on with you?”Grandpa asked with concern.
"This was caused by him training his Dou Qi without knowing the consequences. Fortunately, there was no problem…Hmm, it stinks.”At this moment, the closed door opened, and the uncle next door who had practiced fighting spirit came in and said. His uncle was a tall middle-aged man in his forties. Grandpa Ling liked to ask him for help with anything, but he always had to give something in return. As soon as First Uncle came in, he covered his nose with his hand and kept fanning the air in front of him to express his dissatisfaction.
"Mmm, it stinks." Ling Tian took a deep sniff and realized that the pill had expelled a lot of impurities from his body. The pungent smell permeated the air and was extremely unpleasant. Seeing this, Ling Tian immediately said to his grandfather,""Grandpa, go and rest. I'm fine.”Then, she immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.
However, no one, including Ling Tian himself, noticed that the way he looked at his grandfather and uncle was different from before. It was a pair of cold, emotionless eyes that were filled with the taste of mulberry. He didn't know if this was good or bad, but today's incident would change his life. This change was unpredictable.
In the bathroom, Ling Tian felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation as he lay in the bathtub. Feeling the numbing pain from the residual medicinal power, feeling the Dou Qi that was constantly circulating in his body, reaching the peak of the second step and almost reaching the third step, a sense of accomplishment surged into his heart, and a thing called strength surged through his entire body.
Very quickly, Ling Tian patted the water with his hand and shook his head to dispel this feeling. He closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were filled with determination, but they were also clear. This, this kind of gaze was even more terrifying than in the room. It was more vicious and ruthless, as if it wanted to suck out one's soul, like a black hole.
The next morning, Ling Tian woke up from his cultivation and said," Stage 3.”Ling Tian muttered to himself,"This cultivation progress is not bad.”
When Ling Tian arrived at the living room, his grandfather had already prepared a meal. "Little Tian, sit down and eat. You haven't eaten for days." Grandpa Ling saw that Ling Tian still had a benevolent look on his face, not showing any signs of wanting to ask about what happened yesterday.
Hearing this, Ling Tian felt a warmth in his heart and sat down to eat without saying a word. After a long while, Ling Tian gave his grandfather a piece of meat and said,""Grandpa, I want to go out and cultivate in the future. I might not be at home often.”"When do you stay at home for a long time? If you want to go, go. Grandpa will support you.”Grandpa Ling smiled as he looked at Ling Tian with a loving gaze.
"Yes, Grandpa, I want to find a job to train my physical strength. Do you have any good places to recommend to me?”Ling Tian nodded and asked. "Looking for a job? Xiaotian, you're only ten years old now. What kind of job are you looking for? Just focus on cultivating your battle energy. Don't think too much. If you lack money, just ask your grandfather.”Grandpa Ling shook his head.
"No, it's to train my strength!”"What strength do you have?" Grandpa Ling shook his head. "That's why I need to train. Moreover, only when my body is strong will it be beneficial for me to train my Dou Qi.”Ling Tian explained. "Hmm, alright then. There's a blacksmith shop in the east of the city, but it's a little far.”Grandpa Ling nodded hesitantly.
"This is it. It doesn't matter if it's far away.”Hearing this, Ling Tian immediately said, afraid that his grandfather would still hesitate. "Grandpa, just tell me about it. I'll go to work this afternoon. No, you have to tell the boss that I'll only go in the afternoon and won't work overtime at night.”"Well, alright then. I just don't know if they'll give me any face.”Grandpa Ling nodded.
"Then it's settled. I'm going out to cultivate. I'll see grandpa at noon.”Without waiting for Grandpa Ling to continue speaking, Ling Tian took a few more mouthfuls of rice and ran out. "Slow down, what's the hurry?" Grandpa Ling saw that Ling Tian was running too fast and asked worriedly. "Don't worry, Grandpa." Ling Tian replied without even turning back.
Ling Tian almost ran all the way to the city gates, and when he was ten miles away, he looked at the tall mountain in front of him and muttered to himself,""If it was the past me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take a step now. But now, I only feel a little tired. My physique has indeed improved a lot! Now, he ran up the mountain in one breath. Although the road was short, it was even harder to run.”
After a long while, Ling Tian finally reached the peak. He was originally so tired that he wanted to collapse, but Ling Tian still insisted on standing. After resting for a while, he immediately started training. After an hour, Ling Tian stood up and frowned,""Why don't you feel tired? This would not achieve the purpose of training.”After saying that, he looked around and found a large stone. He hugged it in his arms and began to do the horse stance again.
Not long after, Ling Tian's legs began to tremble, but he said calmly,""This stone is about 20 catties. The effect is not bad. It seems that I can continue to increase the weight in the future.”After a while, Ling Tian started to feel extremely uncomfortable. Ling Tian thought to himself,'This should be because the medicinal effects have yet to be fully absorbed.
As Ling Tian thought about it, he subconsciously circulated his Dou Qi. As soon as he circulated his Dou Qi, Ling Tian felt much more relaxed. In an instant, Ling Tian exclaimed," This, how is this possible? To be able to circulate one's Qi without even meditating, just like cultivating? This is not something that someone of my level can do! Grandpa Li had said that a Dou Shi could circulate Dou Qi at any time, but it could not be considered as training. It was just that it could not be compared to normal meditation.
That's right, this must have something to do with the residual medicinal power. However, the reason why I'm circulating my Dou Qi is because of myself. In this case, it's equivalent to me having twice the cultivation time of others. Yes, but I still have to work hard!" After saying that, Ling Tian increased the speed at which he circulated his Dou Qi, ignoring the numbness and pain in his meridians.
After a long while, Ling Tian finally stopped to rest for a while before starting to practice his martial arts. He found a big tree that was wide enough for a person to hug and kicked it continuously. He did not care about his numb hands and feet until his skin was torn and blood flowed out. He rested for a while and began other basic exercises.
It was almost noon when Ling Tian finally ran back home. He did not stop until he saw his grandfather's waiting face. Seeing Ling Tian's expression, Grandpa Ling nodded in satisfaction. It seemed like Ling Tian wasn't slacking off. After sizing Ling Tian up, he said," Little Tian, let's go and eat. After we eat, I will bring you to the blacksmith shop. However, you have to work hard and not ruin their business.”" Yes, don't worry. I know." Ling Tian nodded.
After the meal, Grandpa Ling took the lead and walked towards the blacksmith shop with his walking stick. Along the way, Ling Tian could not stand the slow pace of walking, but he had no choice. He could not treat it as a stroll. After a long while, the two of them finally arrived at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, only to see a burly man waiting for them. This burly man looked extremely valiant and was at least 1.9 meters tall. His muscles were extremely firm and muscular. He was half-naked and wore a pair of coarse shorts. When he saw Grandpa Ling, he immediately went forward and said,"Uncle Ling is here. Come in and have a seat.”
Grandpa Ling shook his head." No need. Do you remember what I told you this morning?" This is my grandson. Please take care of him.”As he spoke, he pulled Ling Tian forward. "This is your grandson. He's quite obedient. Don't worry, I'll take good care of him and definitely won't let him suffer.”The burly man patted Ling Tian's head as he spoke. Ling Tian was extremely displeased, but he did not say anything. Instead, he carefully sized up the burly man and saw that he was in his forties. He had a buzz cut and his face was covered with a beard. The black beard seemed to be shining like steel needles.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." Grandpa Ling then looked at Ling Tian,""Little Tian, you'll work under Boss Zhao in the future. You have to learn well. Boss Zhao is the most powerful blacksmith in our city.”"Yes, I will." Ling Tian nodded his head. "Alright, then I'll go back." Grandpa Ling left alone with his walking stick.
"Little Tian, right? Come with me." The burly man nodded when he saw that Grandpa Ling had returned. He then entered the blacksmith shop. Ling Tian followed closely behind them all the way to the backyard, where the true core of the smithy was located. Hearing the continuous clanging sounds coming from the courtyard, Ling Tian knew that it was the place where the smithing was done.
"Little Tian, you still don't know our Zhao's Blacksmith Shop.”Boss Zhao suddenly turned around and said. "Yes." Ling Tian nodded his head," Then let me explain it to you. Speaking of which, our Zhao's Blacksmith Shop has some history, and it was passed down from my grandfather's generation. " However, the reason why the smithy's business is so good isn't because of this but because the tools we forge make make people satisfied. It's also because our Zhao's Smithy is the only smithy in our city that can forge mystic weapons.”At this point, Boss Zhao paused and raised his head with pride.
"Mystic weapons, isn't that something that can only be forged by those who have cultivated the Fire of Qi?”Hearing this, Ling Tian was filled with doubt. One had to know that this advocated martial arts and weapons at the same time. There were two types of weapons. One was ordinary weapons, and the other was Precious Weapons used by experts. Ordinary weapons used ordinary iron swords or steel swords. There were also better ones, such as hundred forged steel swords, thousand forged steel swords, and rare swords. However, no matter how good a sword was, it could not withstand a large amount of qi infusion. Therefore, mystic weapons that were specially forged for martial artists using precious materials and refining techniques were even more precious. As for spirit weapons above mystic weapons, they were even more difficult for mortals.
An ordinary sword, such as an iron sword or a steel sword, could only be sold for two or three silver coins. A hundred forged steel sword could be sold for more than ten silver coins. A thousand forged steel sword could be sold for 40 to 50 silver coins. A treasured sword could be sold for three or four gold coins. A mystic weapon, even a low-grade one, could be sold for 30 to 40 gold coins or even higher. Thus, one could see how precious mystic weapons were. (1 Purple Gold Coin =1000 Gold Coins =100000 Silver Coins =** Copper Coins. One Copper Coin is equivalent to 50 cents to 1 yuan. The living standards of ordinary people are not comparable to the modern development of China.)
" Fire of Qi, hehe, I managed to cultivate the Fire of Battle Energy." As he spoke, Boss Zhao stretched out his right hand. Suddenly, a ball of pale yellow flames appeared in his palm. The color was very faint, and if one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to see it. However, ever since the flames appeared, the surrounding temperature had risen drastically. This proved that the flames were not as weak as they seemed.
Only then did Ling Tian notice that Boss Zhao was also a fighter, and that his cultivation had already reached the peak of a fighter. He was only a step away from becoming a fighter. However, with Boss Zhao's age, he would probably stop at a fighter in this life.
The Dou Qi Flame was also known as the Dou Qi Flame. It was the easiest Qi Flame to cultivate among the various cultivation methods. However, it could only be cultivated after one had reached the Dou Zhe class. Perhaps Boss Zhao was lucky to be able to cultivate the Battle Energy Fire, or perhaps he had some secret technique. However, secret techniques were the most difficult to obtain.
The strength of the battle energy flame depended entirely on its color, from yellow to red, from red to black, and then from black to gold. As for the strength after gold, it was unknown to ordinary people.
"Boss Zhao is also a Dou Zhe. Can I ask you if I have any problems with my cultivation?”Ling Tian asked after some thought. At this moment, Boss Zhao retracted his battle energy flame and said,"What, Xiao Tian, are you also a Dou Zhe?”
"I'm only at Dou Qi level 3.”Hearing this, Ling Tian lowered his head and replied humbly. "Dou Zhi Qi level 3, Xiao Tian, how old are you?”Boss Zhao was shocked. "I'm about to turn ten.""Aren't you afraid that cultivating Dou Qi at such a young age will be bad for your body?"”
"No, my body has always been very good.”Ling Tian lied. "En, that's right. Since you have already reached the third level of Dou Zhi Qi, then there shouldn't be any problems. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me.”Although Boss Zhao was surprised, he did not ask much about this because everyone had their own encounters and had already reached the inner court.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Boss Zhao shouted,"Everyone, stop. Let me introduce you to our new partner, Ling Tian.”At this moment, a large group of people walked out from behind the furnaces. There were about 30 to 40 of them, and they were all burly men in their 30s or 40s. There were only a few old blacksmiths in their 50s and young men in their 20s.
Finally, a young girl about 14 or 15 years old walked out. She was about 1.6 meters tall, had an oval face, a high nose bridge, long hair tied into a ponytail, and a green dress. Her skin was tanned. The moment she walked out and saw Ling Tian, she said,""Where did this little brother come from? He's so cute.”Ling Tian looked at her with a frown but did not say anything. He did not stare at the young lady's body and delicate face like the other men. Instead, he looked at his surroundings because he knew that he would spend a lot of time here in the next few years.
