The old man looked unhappy when he saw his excited face. He reached out and tapped his son's head. "Child, what should I say about you? The path of immortal cultivation is not easy! How many young people never return, never to be heard from! How many people had accomplished nothing and ended up with a crippled body?! Every ten years, Zhu Jiawan holds an Immortal Ascension Assembly and recruits hundreds of disciples each time. But I heard that the largest sect in Tongtian River only has dozens of experts above Foundation Establishment! If you can't reach Foundation Establishment, it's the same as not getting started! If you're still at low-level Qi Refinement after cultivating for decades, you're no different from a mortal. Once you stop cultivating, your skills will regress in less than a year or two! If you can't reach Foundation Establishment, you'll be trash when you're old! "
Qin Di chuckled. "That won't happen. I have immortal fate. I'll definitely make a name for myself and become a Golden Core ancestor! I might even become a Nascent Soul! "
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that. "If that's the case, it's the Qin family's fortune! But Little Nineteen, you have to take it one step at a time. Test your spirit root first before anything else! Remember, once you leave Qin Manor, you're no longer a descendant of the Qin family. Don't come back until you reach Foundation Establishment! Even if you come back, you can only sneak a peek. Don't expose your identity, understand? "
"I understand!"
The old man continued. "There's still a year left. You can't be idle. Practice with Lin Qiang first and see if you can strengthen your body. Otherwise, you'll collapse from the wind. It'll be useless even if you have a spirit root! Lin Qiang, come here! "
The black-robed man walked over from afar. "Master, what are your orders?"
The old man said, "From today onwards, you'll train for 18 hours a day! As long as you're still breathing, don't let him stop! "
"Yes!" The black-robed man opened his eyes and glared at the skinny Qin Di. He laughed sinisterly. "Young master, go change your clothes. Let's begin!"
Qin Di shouted, "Grandpa, I'm hungry. I have to eat first!"
"Hmm? What's going on? "The old man was surprised.
The man in black stretched out his hand to feel Qin Di's pulse, "Yo, the ruler is strong but the throat is weak, the bones are strong but the flesh is fine, the kidney is strong but the spleen and stomach are empty. You really haven't eaten your fill! If it's full, it might be a good ingredient! "
The old man forced a smile. "Since that's the case, let's go down and eat first. We'll practice again in two hours! Lin Qiang, you were the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, so I'll leave this child to you! You only have one year. Let's see what you can do! "
He only said that the child's body was weak, but he did not mention the reason, because the old peach tree was a taboo of the Qin family. Lin Qiang was also not a member of the Qin family. Although he was a loyal servant, he could not tell the truth.
From then on, Qin Di, who had been looking for trouble for himself, welcomed his days of suffering.
He was completely confined and never returned to his own courtyard. He didn't greet his parents, and he didn't see Qin Shi and Qin Xiaoyu. He didn't know what his grandfather had arranged for him. It seemed that since he was going to fake his death, he couldn't come into contact with too many people.
Qin Di woke up before dawn every day, ran, lifted stone weights, practiced the Black Tiger Fist, and practiced the White Horse Golden Spear. It could also be considered dancing at the sound of the rooster.
Every day when it was dark, he still didn't sleep. He rolled stones, took medicinal baths, and practiced the Iron Palm, but he couldn't be considered to have forgotten to eat or sleep. This was because he ate more than a pig. Every meal, he ate twenty steamed buns and over ten kilograms of meat. His body didn't seem to have gained much weight. He only gained a little weight and wasn't as skinny as before.
Qin Di also felt that it was strange. "Although training consumes a lot of energy, according to the law of conservation of energy, the calories I eat far exceed what I consume. Where did the extra calories go? Could it be related to the peach pit that disappeared? "
For many days in a row, he searched for the peach pit, but he couldn't find it. He even paid attention to the toilet, but in the end, he didn't find the peach pit.
Every night, in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he could feel a slight heat in his abdomen. Concentrating and looking inside, there seemed to be a peach pit hiding in his lower abdomen where his dantian was.
Therefore, Qin Di had reason to believe that it was the peach pit that helped him consume calories, forcing him to eat twice as much food every day.
Although he ate a lot, there were also unexpected benefits. His endurance became stronger and stronger, his muscles and bones became stronger and stronger, and his strength increased. This surprised even Lin Qiang, who taught him martial arts.
Time passed day by day. Qin Di had practiced more than ten sets of martial arts, including the Black Tiger Fist, Iron Lion Fist, Golden Monkey Fist, Subduing Dragon, Subduing Tiger, Six Directions, Eight Trigrams, Plum Blossom Stakes, and so on. There was also a set of the White Horse Golden Spear that the Yue military had to practice. He even practiced the Iron Palm that everyone in the Jianghu feared to seventy to eighty percent!
In the end, Qin Di could pull a seven picul bow with the combined strength of his arms, and a punch had the strength of two hundred and fifty kilograms! How was this a weak fourteen year old youth? He was even stronger than the imperial guards who had practiced for many years!
Even Lin Qiang felt that he was inferior. This was because he could only pull a six picul bow, and a punch only had the strength of three hundred and eighty kilograms.
His practice continued until the spring of the second year. On the evening of the eighth day of the third month, Qin Di was called to the Tongtian River in Hou Haizi. He took a closer look and saw a small boat tied to the river. Two people were standing on the shore. One was his grandfather, Qin Gaolan, and the other was his father, Qin Guangling. The other person was sitting in the small boat. He wore a bamboo hat and was dressed in black. He was Instructor Lin Qiang.
Qin Gaolan did not say anything. He took out a round bronze plate from his pocket and handed it to Qin Di.
Qin Guangling's hands trembled slightly. He took out a few gold ingots and two shiny stones from his sleeves. He said, "My son, I don't have much ability. I spent a lot of effort, but I only got two spirit stones for you. Take them with you. Take care of yourself in the days to come. After we part here, I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again. "
The corners of Qin Di's eyes were wet. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father and grandfather.
"Lord Father, Lord Grandfather, I am unfilial. Please take care of yourself!"
He knew that after they parted, he might still be able to see his father, but his grandfather was old and might not be able to.
Although Qin Gaolan was old, he had seen through the world. His bearing was like a mountain, and his wisdom was like the sea. At this moment, he could still remain calm. "Good child, if you don't do well in the spiritual root test, come back early. If you climb the celestial mountain, you can't come back so easily! You also know the key. If you can't cultivate to the Foundation Building realm, you can't be considered a disciple of the Qin Clan! "
Qin Di replied respectfully, "I will remember."
Qin Gaolan then said to Lin Qiang, who was in the small boat, "Ten miles north from here, there is a huge tree in the sea. There is a celestial ship that goes to Zhu Jia Wan. Send Nineteen to the ship and wait there. Half a month later, if you are not chosen, you will be sent back there again. If you are chosen, then come back yourself. Ah Qiang, thank you for your hard work! "
