In Firestorm City, the Lu Family was a true hegemon. No other family could compare.
The Li Family was originally an unknown small family in Firestorm City. Later on, when Li Ping married the then Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Yuntian, the Li Family borrowed the power of the Lu Family and rose to the top.
Lu Ming remembered that the Li Family treated him and Li Ping very well at that time.
However, after Lu Yuntian's accident, the Li Family's attitude towards him and his mother changed. Especially after Lu Ming's grandfather passed away and his uncle took over the Lu Family. The Li Family became more and more distant to the point of ignoring them.
The fickleness of human nature was the reality.
In the Li Family's courtyard.
Li Ping knelt there, trembling slightly.
Many disciples of the Li Family surrounded her and pointed at her.
Above the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a big belly looked at Li Ping coldly and said, "Little sister, how long are you going to kneel? Don't you find it embarrassing?"
He was Li Ping's elder brother, Li Fu.
"Big Brother, I beg you, Ming 'er finally managed to cultivate True Qi. He is your nephew, please give him one or two cultivation methods and martial skills!"
Li Ping begged with tears in her eyes.
"Little sister, I'll say something you don't want to hear. Lu Ming has been weak since he was young and he can't awaken his bloodline. Even if he manages to cultivate Qi, what's the use? He won't be able to achieve anything in the future. It's better for him to be an ordinary person and live out his life peacefully.
"Also, let me tell you, the Lu Family's Head Elder has already spoken to me and asked me to know my place. Little sister, I'm in a difficult position. If I help you, I'll offend the Head Elder."
Li Fu said indifferently.
"Big brother, I beg you, I don't want Ming 'er to achieve anything great. I'm satisfied as long as he can become a martial artist and strengthen his body. Big brother, I promise this is the last time I beg you. I won't make things difficult for you in the future." Li Ping continued to plead.
Li Fu frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he took out a book and threw it in front of Li Ping, saying, "For the sake of our many years of brotherhood, take this' Three Sword-Drawing Strikes'. Although it's not popular, it's enough for Lu Ming. Don't bother me anymore."
"Mother!"
At this moment, Lu Ming and Autumn Moon arrived.
Lu Ming helped Li Ping up. He felt that Li Ping's body was slightly trembling. It was obvious that she had been kneeling for a long time.
"Ming 'er, hurry up and thank your uncle." Li Ping looked deeply at Li Fu and said to Lu Ming.
"Thank him?"
Lu Ming's chest was filled with anger. "We don't need their charity. Mother, let's go back."
Lu Ming didn't even look at the martial skill book. He supported Li Ping and left the Li family.
"I'm giving you face, but you don't want it. You're just lucky to be able to cultivate a bit of zhenqi. Do you really think you're a genius?"
"Just a piece of trash."
The disciples of the Li family sneered.
Lu Ming didn't care about these people. Without strength, it was useless to say anything. If he said too much, they would look down on him even more.
But Lu Ming swore that one day, he would use facts to shut them all up.
After leaving the Li family, Li Ping sighed and said, "Ming 'er, you're too impulsive. That's a martial skill book. As long as it can make you a martial artist, it'll be worth it no matter how much I suffer."
Lu Ming stood straight like a divine sword. His eyes were filled with determination as he said, "Mother, even without the Li family's charity, I'll definitely become a martial artist. And a martial artist at that!"
After returning to his residence, Lu Ming entered the Temple of Paragon and worked even harder to cultivate.
After practicing the 'Flame Dragon Fist' once, Lu Ming began to practice the 'Dragon Snake Steps'.
The 'Dragon Snake Steps' was a martial skill that was very profound. After mastering it, one's movements would be as fast as lightning.
With the help of the chanting in the temple, Lu Ming's progress was very fast.
After practicing it twice, he had already reached the 'Initial Insight' stage.
Swish! Swish!
Lu Ming twisted his body like a dragon and a snake. With a twist of his waist, he took a step forward and covered a distance of more than three meters.
A distance of more than three meters was ten feet.
"At the first level of the 'Dragon Snake Steps', Initial Insight, one step can cover a distance of ten feet. At the second level, one step can cover a distance of twenty feet. Every time I break through to the next level, the distance will increase by ten feet. I'm still very far away. Continue."
Then, under Lu Ming's arduous cultivation, ten days passed.
In these ten days, Lu Ming consecutively opened two more meridians and reached the peak of the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
What he gained the most was martial skills.
'Flame Dragon Fist' and 'Dragon Snake Steps' had both reached the third level, Mastery.
"The cultivation of Qi is still too slow. At this rate, I don't know how long it will take to open three meridians."
Lu Ming started to think.
If he wanted to open his meridians quickly and condense his Qi vortex to enter the Martial Warrior Realm, he would need a large amount of Dragon Tiger Pills.
However, Dragon Tiger Pills cost a hundred taels of silver each, and he could be said to be penniless.
"Now that I've reached the peak of the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm and the two martial skills have reached Mastery, I should be able to protect myself. It's time to go to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to try my luck."
The Demon Beast Mountain Range was a huge mountain range fifty miles away from Firestorm City. The mountain range had a radius of a few hundred miles and was filled with towering ancient trees.
There were many spiritual herbs growing in the mountain range, attracting a large number of martial artists in Firestorm City to search for them.
Of course, opportunities were often accompanied by risks. In the mountain range, there were many fierce beasts and even stronger demonic beasts. Every year, many martial artists died in the mouths of demonic beasts.
Lu Ming didn't want to go deep into the Demon Beast Mountain Range. He only wanted to try his luck and train his martial skills.
After finding an excuse and informing Li Ping, Lu Ming headed towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Two hours later, Lu Ming arrived at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Looking up, the Demon Beast Mountain Range was like a giant beast, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ming rushed into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Roar!
He had only entered a few miles when a ferocious beast pounced on him.
It was a white tiger with a long neck. It was more than a meter tall and three meters long. Before it even reached Lin Fan, there was already a fierce aura coming from it.
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. His figure swayed and he dodged to one side. Then, he circulated his True Qi, starting from his feet and then to his spine at the waist. He drove all the strength in his body and punched.
Flame Dragon Fist.
Peng!
This punch landed heavily on the tiger's neck.
With the explosion of strength, the tiger was sent flying.
Roar!
The tiger was in pain and became even more fierce. It roared and pounced on Lu Ming.
Lu Ming used the Dragon Snake Steps and twisted his body to avoid the tiger's attack. Then, he used the Flame Dragon Fist to hit the tiger's waist. Ferocious Tiger was thrown out again.
Lu Ming practiced the God Level Cultivation Technique 《True Dragon Battle Art》. The zhenqi he cultivated was like a dragon that flowed in his meridians and had a strong explosive force.
Although Lu Ming's cultivation was at the peak of the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, the explosive force was not something an ordinary peak of the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm could compare to.
Combined with the Flame Dragon Fist, Lu Ming's fist strength was at least a thousand jin.
The tiger was hit by Lu Ming's two punches in a row. It was seriously injured and blood was dripping from its mouth.
At this moment, it roared and turned around to escape.
Lu Ming chased after it.
A few minutes later, the tiger escaped into a cave. Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before he chased after it.
After entering the cave, he found the tiger lying in the cave with blood flowing out of its mouth. It was on the verge of death.
"Eh? That's a Level 1 low-grade spirit herb, Silverbell Grass! "
Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He saw a stalk of spirit herb in a stone crevice in the cave. It had nine leaves and each leaf was like a bell.
Spirit herbs were divided into nine grades. Each grade was further divided into low grade, middle grade, and high grade.
Level 1 low-grade Silverbell Grass contained a large amount of spirit energy and was worth three hundred silver taels. It was comparable to three Dragon Tiger Pills.
He didn't expect to have such a harvest after entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range. This trip was not in vain.
Following that, he finished off the ferocious tiger with a punch. Thereafter, Lu Ming took out a backpack that he had prepared beforehand. He plucked the Silver Bell Grass and put it into the backpack.
"Brother Feng, do you really know of a small path that leads to the Sand Snake Bandits' lair?"
