Hong Qi looked through the window at Ling Xiao who was cultivating inside the house and couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.
Adopting Ling Xiao back then was probably the best thing he had done.
He quietly left and walked into the courtyard. Looking at the stars in the sky, he was already in tears.
"Your son has grown up and become a talent. I, the old beggar, have not let you down. I only hope that you can be safe and sound."
Ling Xiao didn't know what was happening outside the house.
He didn't even know that his parents might still be alive.
Right now, he only wanted to break through to the third level of the Martial Vein. He was using the power of the breakthrough pill to continuously break through to the third level of the Martial Vein.
After a night.
Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and punched out.
"Clang!"
A loud sound rang out. The thick brick wall in front of him was actually smashed into pieces, and a large hole appeared.
He could feel that the true energy in his body had increased by an astonishing amount, including his muscles, bones, tendons, and blood. They seemed to have strengthened a lot.
This punch had at least a thousand kilograms of force!
This was the strongest power a martial artist below the third level of the Martial Vein could produce.
"I didn't expect a breakthrough to be so easy. It seems that the Mountain and River Martial Spirit is indeed extraordinary!"
Ling Xiao was very clear that although the effect of the breakthrough pill was not bad, it was definitely not as good as this.
In the end, his success was inseparable from the Mountain and River Martial Spirit.
When he broke through last night, every time he felt that he was about to fail, there would always be a strange force coming from the Mountain and River Martial Spirit to help him break through the obstacles.
In addition, he had been suppressing his breakthrough for so many days. It could be said that his strength was on the verge of erupting.
Now that he had released it, it would naturally be easier to break through.
However, the third level of the Martial Vein was just the beginning!
Although Ling Xiao was excited, he also understood that the current him was at most a first-rate disciple like Ling Fei, Ling Feng, and Ling Tieshou.
There was still a gap between them and Ling Yixue and Li Xingyun.
Moreover, they could break through to the fourth level of the Martial Vein at any time.
The third level to the fourth level seemed to be only one realm, but there was a world of difference.
After all, true energy could not be compared to astral energy.
His strength had undergone a qualitative change, and all of his attacks had undergone a qualitative upgrade.
It could be said that unless a person at the third level of the Martial Vein could also use astral energy, it was absolutely impossible to challenge a martial artist at the fourth level of the Martial Vein.
The battle between Li Xingyun and the Howling Moon Wolf was very obvious.
"What happened?"
Hong Qi heard the loud noise and came over to take a look. He was immediately stunned. "I say, child, did something go wrong with your practice? Why did you tear down the house? "
"Grandpa, I've said it before. Now that we have money, we don't need this house anymore. Let's build a new one."
The reason why Ling Xiao wanted to become strong, other than not wanting to be bullied, was that he wanted to live a good life.
He was tired of living in a house that would leak whenever it rained.
"Kid, even if we want to build a house, where are we going to live now?" Hong Qi smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, the Ling family has a house for rent. Let's rent it for a while first. It won't be too late to move back when the house here is repaired."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll go find a construction team to repair the house for us."
After saying that, he ran out excitedly.
He had just broken through to the third level of the Martial Vein, so he was not afraid of encountering trouble.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he really hoped that someone would come looking for trouble. That way, he could also test how strong he was now.
Just as he left the Ling family's main gate, someone sneakily turned around and ran away from the corner.
"Senior Xingyun, that guy came out."
The person went into a small forest, where Li Xingyun was talking to two other middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men's strength was on par with Li Rui's. They were both at the third level of the Martial Vein.
"Okay, I got it. The two of you, here's a hundred taels of silver. I don't want him alive, just kill him! After it's done, I'll give you the other hundred taels. "
Li Xingyun's face revealed a cold smile.
"Hehe, Young Master Li, don't worry. We brothers have always been paid to solve problems. We don't know how to do other things, but killing is easy!"
… …
Ling Xiao left the Ling family and went to the market to find a construction worker. After discussing the matter of building a house, he briskly returned to the Ling family.
When he passed by a small forest, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Friend, since you're here, why are you hiding?"
He looked at a tree not far away, his gaze sharp and cold.
"Hahaha, kid, you're not bad. You actually noticed us. Looks like you're not weak."
A voice sounded and two people jumped down from the tree.
They were both in their thirties and wore black masks. They did not look like Tianfeng City's cultivators, but more like bandits.
"Black Scarf Bandits?"
Ling Xiao recognized the attire of these two people.
This was a group of vicious bandits. They usually operated around Tianfeng City, but because the Tianfeng City's Four Great Clans were more powerful, they did not dare to enter the city easily.
However, their fierce reputation was not bad. It was said that there were a total of six to seven hundred people, led by thirteen leaders.
They were called the Black Scarf Bandits because they liked to wear black masks. In addition, this group of people had scimitar tattoos on their arms, so it was easy to recognize them.
"Kid, since you recognize your grandfather, then don't talk nonsense. Take out all the silver you have and I'll spare your life!"
Although they accepted Li Xingyun's task, the Black Scarf Bandits were greedy and lustful. They killed people like flies, so they were naturally more willing to maximize their benefits.
When the two of them spoke, they had already positioned themselves, not giving Ling Xiao a chance to escape.
"Hehe, the clan previously offered a reward of one hundred silver taels and ten contribution points for killing an ordinary Black Scarf Bandit. Since the two of you are here, don't go back!"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly.
One hundred silver taels was still a large sum to him, but contribution points were even more important.
Normally, only cultivators above the fourth level of the Martial Vein were qualified to accept clan missions and earn contribution points.
Not only could contribution points be used to exchange for items in the clan, it could also raise the status of the clan.
For thousands of years, the Ling family had always done this.
As long as one could earn one hundred contribution points, one could go from a ninth-tier family member to an eighth-tier family member.
A ninth-tier family member had no allowance and could be chased away at any time, so they could not enjoy the privileges of the Ling family.
An eighth-tier family member was different. Not only did they have a monthly allowance, but as long as they did not commit any major mistakes, they would not be chased away and would have the status of a true Ling family member.
Ling Xiao had been a beggar since he was young, so he hoped to have a clan to shelter him from the wind and rain.
Although he had suffered many grievances in the Ling family, he had also received many benefits. Naturally, he was unwilling to leave.
"Kid, you are as arrogant as the rumors say. Kill us and get the reward? I'm afraid you won't be able to! "
Just like the rumors?
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The only outsiders he had met recently were those from the Li family.
Could it be that the Black Scarf Bandits were hired by the Li family to kill him?
He was smart enough to figure out the gist of what was going on when the other party let the cat out of the bag.
He knew that the Li family would not let him go. He was waiting for the Li family to cause trouble at the Ling family, but who knew that there would be no movement at all.
Now, he understood.
