Half a month later, in a spacious courtyard of the Li family's mansion.
The old man was lying on a reclining chair, comfortably closing his eyes and basking in the sun.
Behind him, a young man with delicate features stood there, giving him a massage.
"First Elder, I'll give you another massage in half a month, and your hidden disease will be completely eradicated."
The young man said as he massaged.
"Little guy, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I don't know how much pain I would have to suffer."
The old man sighed.
Over the years, he had been tortured by his hidden disease to the point of almost going crazy.
Now that it could be eradicated, it was great news for him.
"First Elder, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just taking someone's money to get rid of their misfortune."
The young man shook his head and smiled.
For him, massaging the old man for a thousand taels was definitely a profitable business.
"I heard that you refused the family head's good intentions?"
The old man suddenly asked.
"Yes, I don't lack money for the time being. I can buy anything I need in the market. There's no need to waste the family's resources. Those resources should be left for people who need them more than me."
The young man smiled.
"Little guy, you sure know how to talk. I didn't know you had such a high level of self-awareness. You refused because you don't want to owe the Li family too much and be tied down by the Li family, right? "
The old man's words exposed the young man's thoughts.
The young man smiled awkwardly. Old ginger is spicier.
Indeed, as the old man said, he didn't want to be tied down by the Li family. Sooner or later, he would leave and explore the outside world.
The Li family and Qingfeng Town were just a starting point for him.
"Huff!"
The young man stopped.
The old man opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to the sweaty young man.
"First Elder, I'll leave first. See you in half a month."
The latter smiled.
After the young man left.
"Two and a half months later, I hope you can give me a surprise."
The old man muttered to himself.
After leaving the residence of First Elder Li Huo, Duan Lingtian went straight home.
Just as he entered the compound.
Then, he saw a graceful figure rapidly drawing and sheathing her sword. Over and over again, she kept repeating the same thing over and over again …
It was as if he didn't know what fatigue was.
The young girl was already sweating profusely. She bit her pink lips, and her watery eyes were filled with determination!
Seeing this scene, Duan Lingtian felt a little distressed.
"Kerr, practicing the sword requires the heart to move as it pleases and to stop before going too far. Overdrawing your physical strength like this will only do you good."
He took a few steps forward and grabbed the young girl's hand that was about to draw her sword.
"Young Master, Kerr wants to master the Sword-Drawing Technique as soon as possible. That way, she can protect Young Master, help Young Master beat up bad people, and prevent bad people from bullying Young Master."
The young girl was panting and her face was flushed red as she said seriously.
"Silly girl, go and rest."
Duan Lingtian's heart warmed as he stroked the girl's soft hair.
The young girl nodded gently, as docile as a kitten.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Spirit Serpent Transformation!
That night, the youth sat quietly in the bathtub, greedily absorbing the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid …
When the medicinal liquid was completely absorbed by him, his vital energy and blood strengthened, and his body transformed, reaching a new critical point.
He walked out of the bathtub and put on his clothes.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll definitely be able to break through to the 4th level of the Body Tempering Stage … However, if I want to kill Fang Qiang in two and a half months, I'll have to at least break through to the 7th level of the Body Tempering Stage. The higher the level, the harder it is to raise one's cultivation. With just the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid, it's impossible to break through to the 7th level of the Body Tempering Stage in two months. Maybe it's time to go to the marketplace to buy some things. "
The youth's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
Early the next morning, before the sky even brightened, the youth got up from his bed and poured the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid into the bathtub before starting to cultivate.
After a night of rest, the medicinal strength from the medicinal bath had already been completely absorbed by him.
Circulating the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Spirit Serpent Transformation mental cultivation method, the youth sat in the bathtub and closed his eyes, greedily absorbing the medicinal liquid within the bathtub.
After an unknown amount of time.
Only when dawn arrived and the early morning sunlight sprinkled on the ground, passing through the room's screen window and sprinkling specks of light on the youth's body did he slowly open his eyes.
"Crackle crackle …"
The youth stood up from the bathtub and casually stretched his body, the friction between his bones emitting a clear sound …
Immediately, the youth's young and tender face revealed a smile.
"I've finally broken through."
His palms faced up as he lightly clenched his fists.
His fists tightened.
Feeling the explosive strength in his body, the smile on the youth's face became even wider.
"It's just as I guessed. An ordinary 4th level Body Tempering Stage martial artist's strength would only increase by 200 pounds, but I have an increase of over 300 pounds! Looks like the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique is indeed different from ordinary cultivation methods. "
After putting on his clothes, the youth pushed open the door and walked out in large strides, enjoying the sunlight to his heart's content.
Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh! Clang! Clang! Clang!
… …
The clear sound of a sword being drawn and sheathed entered his ears.
Only now did Duan Lingtian realize that Kerr had been earnestly cultivating the Sword Drawing Art since early in the morning in the courtyard.
In order not to disturb the mother and son's sweet dreams, the young girl chose to cultivate in a remote corner of the courtyard.
If he hadn't walked out of his room, he wouldn't have heard these sounds.
Sighing, Duan Lingtian understood that Kerr couldn't take the matter of him being injured previously to heart.
During this period of time, she had practically been cultivating with all her might. Not only had her cultivation stepped into the 3rd level of the Body Tempering Stage, but she had also grasped the basics of the Sword Drawing Art.
It could be said that everything that Kerr did was for him, to protect him.
"Kerr, stop cultivating for now. Accompany me to the marketplace to buy some things."
Duan Lingtian walked over and smiled.
"Young Master, I'll go prepare breakfast first."
The young girl sheathed her sword and stood gracefully. Her delicate cheeks without any makeup had a trace of redness.
"No need, we'll go out to eat."
"Then I'll go prepare some for Madam …"
"No problem, my mother will make it herself. Let's go."
Duan Lingtian held the young girl's hand. As he led her out of the courtyard, he didn't forget to look back at his mother Li Rou's bedroom and greet her.
"Mother, I'll be taking Kerr with me. You can take care of breakfast yourself today."
After Duan Lingtian and Kerr left.
In the courtyard, the door opened with a creak. A beautiful woman slowly walked out and bathed in the sunlight.
"Does this count as forgetting his mother when he has a wife?"
The woman shook her head, a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Boss, boss, wait for me … wait for me!"
The golden boy and girl had just walked out of the Li family mansion when a panting sound came from behind them.
A little fatty shook off the fat on his body as he bent over to catch his breath and blocked their way.
"You called me?"
Duan Lingtian turned around and saw that there was no one else.
The little fatty looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. Could he be a follower of the old Duan Lingtian?
But the old Duan Lingtian was a sickly invalid. Who would be willing to be his follower?
"Boss, of course I'm calling you. You're my idol."
The little fatty nodded like a chick pecking at rice, the fat on his face jiggling.
"I don't know you."
Frowning, Duan Lingtian held the young girl's hand and continued walking.
"Boss, it was my fault for taking off your pants when we were young, but you don't have to hold a grudge, right? Last time, you crippled Li Jie and helped me vent my anger. Also, boss, you crippled him and nothing happened. You're too awesome! "
Little Fatty eagerly followed behind, his mouth never stopping talking.
Taking off my pants?
Hearing the little fatty's words, a blurry image appeared in Duan Lingtian's mind.
It was a memory of the old Duan Lingtian when he was young.
In the memory, a group of five or six year old children were playing around …
Suddenly, a little fatty sneaked up behind him and took off his pants, causing the group of children to laugh. He also cried in grief.
"You're Li Xuan?"
Duan Lingtian finally remembered.
This little fatty was the only son of the Fifth Elder, Li Ting. When he was young, he left Fresh Breeze Town with his grandfather. He didn't expect to be back now.
"Boss, you finally remember me."
The little fatty's little eyes lit up.
"When did you come back? Also, why are you calling me boss? "
Duan Lingtian asked.
In his memory, the old Duan Lingtian didn't have much contact with the little fatty, let alone take him as a follower.
"I've been back for two months. You helped me teach Li Jie a lesson, and you're so awesome, so I've decided to take you as my boss. Boss, from now on, I'm yours. You have to take good care of me! "
Little Fatty chuckled and blinked his small eyes as he spoke.
Duan Lingtian learned from the little fatty.
When the little fatty came back, he had a conflict with Li Jie's younger brother, Li Xin. Li Xin couldn't beat him, so he went to Li Jie and beat him up.
"I crippled Li Jie, that's my own business. I never thought of helping you … Also, you're not my man, and I have no interest in being your boss. Stop bothering me!"
Duan Lingtian said coldly, holding the girl's hand and walking towards the market without looking back.
After being betrayed by his brother in his previous life, he learned his lesson in this life. He wouldn't take another brother for no reason. He didn't want to keep a ticking time bomb by his side.
A thief in the family is the hardest to guard against!
The little fatty didn't expect Duan Lingtian's attitude to suddenly change. He stood there dumbfounded, watching the young man and girl walk away.
