Sword Sect, Mount Yuxian, Mount Xiaoshan.
As a famous sect in Dragon City, the Sword Sect was backed by the Hundred Thousand Mountains and looked south at the Huaxia Empire. Its buildings occupied more than a thousand miles of the Floating Mountains. Floating Mountain had seven main peaks and thirty-six small peaks. Among them, the Small Mountain Peak was one of the countless small peaks. As the name suggested, the Small Mountain Peak was the place where disciples who did odd jobs lived.
Although Xiao Mountain Peak was a place where disciples who did odd jobs lived, its scale was already comparable to a small city with a population of more than 300,000 in the Dragon City Empire.
At dawn, An Yufeng woke up as usual. He washed up and walked out of the room with the broom behind the door.
Looking at the white light in the sky, An Yufeng took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. A moment later, An Yufeng's young face was filled with determination as he said in a low voice,""Work hard and persevere, don't give up!" After saying that, he quickly walked towards the Clear Breeze Valley.
"Look, isn't that the former outer sect disciple?”
"So it's him. You know that was in the past. He's just a disciple who does odd jobs now, sweeping the floor like us.”
"What a pity. What a handsome young man! Looking at him now, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. At this age, his future was originally boundless. Unfortunately, he was now here to do odd jobs. What a pity!”
" I heard that he was accepted as an outer disciple by an outer sect elder in Jiangbei City. Who knew that he hadn't been able to absorb any Celestial Chi for a year and was demoted to an errand boy by the outer sect elder in a fit of anger? It was said that he was the first person in the history of the Sword Sect to be demoted from an outer sect disciple to a disciple who did odd jobs. He even received the title of the number one trash in the Sword Sect!”
"The number one trash of the Sword Sect, tsk tsk, this title is quite resounding!”
Hearing the words of the people around him, An Yufeng stopped in his tracks and tightened his grip on the broom in his right hand. After a moment, he took a deep breath and quickly walked toward the Free Valley without caring about the others.
The Free Valley was located at the back of Xiao Shan Peak. It was sandwiched by several small hills, and in the middle was a sunken valley. The valley was lush with grass, and countless towering trees covered the sky. This was the place where the disciples who did odd jobs usually gathered herbs and cut materials. It was also the place where An Yufeng usually cultivated.
An Yufeng casually threw his broom aside and sat cross-legged on a huge rock. He took out an envelope and a small clay figurine from his pocket. These were the letters he had received from home last night. As he had been busy for nearly 18 hours yesterday, he had no time to read them.
Looking at the little clay figurine in his hand, An Yufeng's tender face revealed a gentle smile. The clay figurine was very small. It could not be said to be very exquisite, but its facial features were clear. This was made by his sister according to his appearance. Although it did not look like it and was rough, it was the most precious thing to him.
After gently stroking it for a while, An Yufeng put the clay figurine back into his arms. He looked at the envelope in his hand and gently blew away the dust on the envelope. Then, he carefully took out the letter from the envelope and read it.
"Brother, we have received the gold coins you sent back last month. Ever since you were taken in as an outer sect disciple by the Sword Sect, those neighbors who looked down on our family in the past often came to visit us. " Hmph, Xiaoling knows that they know that you are capable, so they treat me and mother well. A bunch of snobbish people.”
An Yufeng took a deep breath. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he mocked himself." Outer sect disciple!"
After a long time, An Yufeng suppressed the unwillingness and helplessness in his heart and looked at the letter.
"Also, that Xiao family is so annoying. They actually proposed marriage to mother and asked Xiaoling to be their concubine for that 300-pound fatty. That fatty can't even walk. Xiaoling saw that he couldn't even eat, and she even wanted Xiaoling to be his concubine. Fortunately, mother didn't agree! Even if she really had to marry, Xiaoling would still marry. Marrying big brother, oh, so embarrassing. Big brother, you can't laugh at me, and you can't laugh in your heart!。”
"Xiao Clan!" An Yufeng's eyes flashed with a cold light. This family had quite a bit of power in Jiangbei City. In the past, the head of the Xiao family wanted to take his mother as his concubine, but his mother refused to agree to it. The Xiao family did not dare to kill anyone. After all, the laws of the Huaxia Empire were strict. If someone died, the Xiao family would be in trouble.
However, the Xiao family had not given up. They had made things difficult for the Xiao family in Jiangbei City, trying to force his mother to join the Xiao family voluntarily. Although life was difficult, his mother had not compromised with the Xiao family. This situation continued until he was taken in as an outer sect disciple by the Sword Sect's outer sect elder. Only after he became an outer sect disciple did the Xiao family become a little wary and not dare to force him too much.
However, he did not expect that the Xiao family would actually have designs on his sister!
"Strength, strength! I must become an outer sect disciple." An Yufeng clenched his fists tightly. He knew that if the news of him being demoted to a disciple doing odd jobs were to spread to Jiangbei City, the Xiao family would definitely be unscrupulous. His mother and sister would definitely be in a dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, An Yufeng put away the letter and walked to the bottom of the boulder. He pushed aside the branch under the boulder. Under the branch were four black iron pieces that looked like bracelets.
An Yufeng put the four pieces of black iron on his arms and ankles. He immediately felt a sense of heaviness. Fortunately, after a year, he had gotten used to the weight of these pieces of iron.
After carrying the iron piece, An Yufeng walked to a big tree. He kicked hard with both feet, and his body flew into the air. He grabbed the branch firmly with both hands, and then with the pulling force of his arms, he moved up and down. As he rose and fell, his body assumed a strange posture. This posture made all the muscles in his body move together.
This was the "Body Refining Secrets" that he had obtained when he had become an outer sect disciple. It was not a good item, and all outer sect disciples had one. The purpose of this cultivation method was to strengthen the physical body. When the bones and muscles in the body reached a certain level, a trace of Xuan Qi would be derived. With Xuan Qi, one would be a true Xuan cultivator.
Back then, he had used this " Body-refining Art " to cultivate for half a year, but he had not managed to cultivate a single trace of Celestial Chi. It was precisely because of this that he was demoted from an outer sect disciple to the lowest level of the Sword Sect's odd-job disciple.
An outer sect disciple was demoted to a disciple who did odd jobs. This had never happened before in the history of the Sword Sect. Therefore, he even received a very resounding nickname: The number one trash in history! Not only that, but he also became a negative example for the Sword Sect's outer sect elders to educate their outer sect disciples.
Once any outer sect disciple slacked off or was not serious, the outer sect elders would say, Are you going to be the second An Yufeng?
Under normal circumstances, most people would leave the Sword Sect and return to the secular world. However, An Yufeng didn't. Not only did he not return to the secular world, but he was also willing to become a disciple who did odd jobs!
All of this was because he did not want to disappoint his mother and sister! He was the hope of his sister and mother. Because he had become an outer disciple of the Sword Sect, no one dared to bully his sister and mother. Because he became an outer sect disciple, his sister and mother finally had a good life!
If he went back, everything would change!
"Whoosh."
A moment later, the quiet Free Valley was suddenly filled with the sound of heavy breathing. Sweat dripped into his eyes, and the stinging pain made An Yufeng close his eyes tightly, allowing the sweat on his forehead to fall onto his face like rain.
At this moment, An Yufeng felt sore and tired, especially his arms. They were as heavy as lead. Most people would choose to rest at this time, but he didn't. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the branch with both hands, constantly moving up and down.
After a long time, An Yufeng's face turned red, and sweat poured down his forehead. His green shirt was completely soaked. The feeling of being pushed to the limit made him dizzy. In the end, he loosened his grip and landed heavily on the ground.
"Huff huff"
Lying on the ground, Yang Ye panted heavily. At this moment, he did not even have the strength to move his fingers.
The sky turned white, and the scenery in the distance gradually became clearer. A breeze blew past, and An Yufeng greedily inhaled. Suddenly, An Yufeng sat up abruptly. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief!
He could actually feel Profound Qi!
Yes, he could feel Profound Qi! That trace of Xuan Qi was flowing intermittently into his dantian through his meridians. Although this stream of air was still a little incoherent and weak, he really felt it.
"Hmm? What happened?"
An Yufeng felt that after the Celestial Chi entered his dantian, it suddenly disappeared. Yes, it disappeared as if it had never appeared!
An Yufeng frowned and felt the Celestial Chi in his body. After a while, his eyes widened and his face was full of shock.
" I, I, I actually, actually have two dantians!" An Yufeng's throat rolled, his face full of disbelief. He had found that strand of Celestial Chi. To be precise, it was not a strand but a strand. Deep in his dantian, there was a small vortex. This small vortex was filled with Celestial Chi!
An Yufeng now understood why he had not absorbed any Xuan Qi before. It was not that he had not absorbed it, but that he had been sucked into the small whirlpool immediately after he had absorbed it. The reason why he did not discover the small whirlpool was that it was hidden very deeply. If he had not followed the feeling of the mystic qi flowing through just now, he would probably never have discovered the small whirlpool in his entire life!
The reason why he could feel the mystic qi now was that the small whirlpool was full. Yes, that small whirlpool was filled with Celestial Chi. This trace of Celestial Chi was squeezed to the normal position of the dantian, but for some reason, that small whirlpool forcefully sucked that trace of Celestial Chi in, not leaving a trace of it for the normal dantian.
As far as he knew, a normal person should have only one dantian. He did not know if other people had two dantians like him, but he knew one thing, and that was that he was not a good-for-nothing. He could cultivate!
A shallow arc surfaced on the corner of An Yufeng's mouth when he thought of this. A moment later, the arc gradually widened as a soft laughter was emitted from his throat. A moment later, the soft laughter finally transformed into a completely loud laughter.
" I, An Yufeng, can become a cultivator. I, An Yufeng, can become a cultivator. Haha!"
At this moment, An Yufeng burst into tears like a child. For countless days and nights, although he had never given up, he had always had an invisible mountain on his shoulders. He was not afraid that others would laugh at him for being useless, nor was he afraid that others would look down on him.
However, he was afraid that his sister and mother's hopes would be shattered!
He was afraid that his sister and mother would be bullied by the neighbors like before!
He was afraid that his sister and mother would live the same life as before where they could not even afford to eat!
He was really afraid, afraid of so many things.
But now, he had the ability to stop this from happening. As long as he cultivated the Body Refining Scroll to the highest level and reached the Mortal Sixth Stage, he would be able to become an outer sect disciple. As long as he became an outer sect disciple, he would have cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, and sword skills. At that time, he would have a chance to become an inner sect disciple.
As long as he became an inner disciple, even the City Lord of Jiangbei City would have to treat him with respect!
The warm sunlight passed through the forest and shone on An Yufeng's tear-stained face, making it red.
"Why didn't I realize that the surrounding scenery was so beautiful before?”
Smiling and suppressing the excitement in his heart, An Yufeng wiped the tears on his face, then put the iron piece in his hand back to its previous position. He walked to the boulder, picked up the broom, and ran quickly towards the valley entrance.
He remembered that his mission today was to clean up the Sword Sect's training grounds!
