The bone-chilling winter rain fell silently and unhurriedly. The fine and dense rain formed a veil that blocked the view from afar.
"It's winter."
"That's right, another year has passed."
In front of the He Clan Manor, two strong servants gathered together and sat leisurely in the gatehouse. They looked at the rain falling from the sky and sighed.
Suddenly, the sound of a horse galloping came from afar. It turned into a red shadow in the heavy rain, splashing the rain on the ground. It finally arrived in front of the He Clan Manor.
The two guards who were in charge of guarding the door stood up in surprise. They had never seen such a majestic horse in their lives. Therefore, although they did not see clearly who it was, they did not dare to be negligent.
After all, a person riding such a handsome horse could not be an ordinary person. Otherwise, they would not be able to keep such a good horse.
The newcomer lightly pressed on the horse's back with one hand. Immediately, the horse flew up and landed lightly in front of the two of them.
Following the removal of the bamboo hat, a familiar face was revealed.
"Sixth Young Master, it's the Sixth Young Master …"
The two of them were slightly startled and immediately cried out in surprise. One of them immediately went up to welcome him, while the other ran back into the manor.
The Sixth Young Master had left home for several months. During the family banquets, the Great Master and the two masters had mentioned him many times. The servants had already paid attention to him. Now that it was almost the new year, the Sixth Young Master had suddenly returned home. To the manor, it was such a joyous matter.
He Yiming handed the horse's reins to the servant who came up and said, "This is a good horse. Pass down the order to take good care of it."
"Yes."
Following the servant's respectful voice, He Yiming felt a familiar and comfortable feeling.
He had finally returned home …
Although in the Fire Crow Kingdom's Xie Residence, the treatment he received was much better than at home, but that was not his home after all.
When one of his feet stepped into the manor, the intense joy of returning home suddenly burst out uncontrollably.
This was his home!
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother …"
He Yiming heard a joyous voice from inside. Then, a young man who was slightly shorter than He Yiming rushed over in the drizzle above his head.
"Yi Tao." He Yiming was overjoyed and immediately rushed forward. His speed was much faster than the person inside. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the person. He laughed heartily as he picked him up and spun him around.
"Sixth brother, you're back."
After a short while, the entire manor seemed to know that he had returned. Even his eldest brother, He Yitian, and third brother, He Yixuan, had appeared.
Although the sky was drizzling with rain, the enthusiasm of the crowd was far from being extinguished by the rain.
He Yiming had left home to travel, and everyone in the villa knew about it. However, only a few people knew that He Yiming had left to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough. However, no one would have thought that he would actually return in just a few short months.
"Everyone, go in." A stern shout came from the second door. He Quanyi, who was in charge of all affairs in the manor, strode out. His expression changed. Apart from He Yitian and He Yiming, the younger generation immediately kept quiet out of fear.
"So many people are drenched in the rain. This is really outrageous. Everyone, go in."
Following his shout, everyone scurried in like mice that had seen a cat. He Yitao even made a face at Sixth Brother, but he didn't slow down in the slightest. This was because among all the siblings, he had eaten the most stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
He Yitao and He Yiming looked at each other and smiled. They walked side by side and stood out among the younger generation as they walked in.
"Sixth brother, did you succeed?" He Yitian asked with a voice that sounded like a bug's mumble.
He Yiming smiled and said, "Eldest brother, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."
He Yitian's footsteps immediately stopped. He heavily patted He Yiming's shoulder and said, "Good, good, good …"
The three consecutive words of "good" clearly expressed his excitement at the moment.
At this moment, the two of them had entered the hall. He Yitian's action attracted everyone's attention.
"Eldest brother, what are you talking about?" He Yitao asked in confusion.
He Quanyi's expression changed slightly. He took a step forward and asked, "Yiming, did you really succeed?"
He Yiming scratched his head. He had not done this for a long time, but after returning home, he unconsciously picked it up again.
"Third uncle, my reputation isn't that bad, right?"
He Quanyi laughed and habitually raised his hand. When everyone saw this gesture, which was almost a rule in the He family manor, they understood what their third uncle and eldest brother meant.
However, He Quanyi was slightly stunned. He suddenly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm confused too. Your strength is not something that I can measure. It's better to let eldest brother or father do it personally."
The younger generation was instantly in an uproar. They just remembered that He Yiming was already a cultivator of the ninth level of inner force when their eldest brother got married at the beginning of the year. If he broke through another level …
For a moment, everyone's eyes were a little dazed. Even He Yitao, who was always the most lively, could not help but purse his lips. There was also a slight change in the way he looked at his sixth brother. Perhaps in his heart, he was thinking about how his sixth brother did it.
He Yitian coughed softly and said loudly, "Since sixth brother is back and has set an example for us, all of you must work hard. From now on, all of you have to work hard and strive to learn from Sixth Brother … "When he spoke up to here, he suddenly realized that he was unable to continue.
With He Yiming's cultivation speed, how could they learn from him? If they used this standard to measure it, the others would not have the confidence to continue cultivating.
He Quanyi shook his head slightly and said, "Yiming, father already knows that you're back. Come with me to the courtyard to see father. One day, you'll come too. "Then, he glared at them and said," As for the rest of you, leave. "
When he glared at them, the younger generation immediately cried out in alarm. They abandoned He Yiming and He Yitian without hesitation and scattered like birds and beasts. After all, in their hearts, their third uncle was undoubtedly the most terrifying among all the elders. Even their grandfather, He Wude, and eldest brother, He Quanxin, were far inferior to him.
He Yiming laughed in his heart. However, he was also filled with emotions. If it wasn't for the fact that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds and had already surpassed his Third Uncle, he was afraid that the current him would also be a member of this crowd.
The three of them walked towards the courtyard one after another. He Quanyi and He Yitian paid attention to He Yiming as they walked.
After a while, the two of them had a strange feeling in their hearts. He Yiming was indeed different from before, but they could not pinpoint exactly what was different about him.
However, after observing for a while, they also believed one thing, and that was that He Yiming had really advanced. However, no matter what, they did not expect that He Yiming did not advance to the tenth level of inner strength, but to the Innate Stage.
The door of the courtyard was gently pushed open. He Yiming's face suddenly revealed a strange smile.
He already knew that his grandfather was not alone in the hall of the courtyard. Even his eldest uncle, He Quanxin, and his old servant, He Laibao, were inside.
After hearing the news of his return, the two of them even threw the library to the back of their minds and ignored it.
"Grandfather, Master Bao, eldest uncle."
He Yiming bowed deeply and said loudly.
"Quickly get up." He Wude stood up and came in front of He Yiming. He held his hand and carefully sized him up.
He Yiming saw the gray hair on his grandfather's temples and his heart suddenly ached. He Yiming had already done his best for this family.
Although they had not seen each other for only a few months and his appearance did not change much, He Yiming's heart felt extremely strong.
He Wude's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the smile on his face became wider and wider.
Finally, he said excitedly, "Yiming, you succeeded?"
"Yes, grandfather." He Yiming said decisively.
He Laibao and He Quanxin looked at each other. Their eyes were also filled with excitement.
He Wude did not lose his composure like He Yitian. He only nodded heavily and said, "Yiming, you're very good. Really good."
He Yiming smiled faintly and suddenly said, "Grandfather, this time I went out, not only did my cultivation advance a step further, but I also obtained some benefits."
He Wude asked with interest, "What benefits?"
In his heart, as long as Yiming could successfully advance, everything would be worth it. As for the benefits, he did not care about them at all.
He Yiming took out a jade bottle and handed it over, saying, "Grandfather, the greatest benefit I've obtained is in here."
He Wude took it and opened it with a trace of confusion.
However, as soon as he opened the jade bottle, he smelled an extremely familiar scent.
He would never forget this smell. His eyes quickly scanned the bottle, and his face suddenly changed. He couldn't help but cry out, "Gold Core?"
Other than He Yiming, the other four people in the room changed their expressions at the same time.
They knew about the spirit beasts and the golden cores. They also knew that only three golden cores were refined during the spirit beast hunt. Apart from He Quanxin, who had already consumed one, the other two were in He Wude's hands. Where did Yiming's golden core come from?
He Wude's face changed again because he clearly saw the number of golden cores in the bottle.
Five golden cores — there were a total of five golden cores. There were two more than the golden cores refined by Neidan the Golden-crowned Python.
He slowly closed the lid of the jade bottle, and the expression on his face became incomparably solemn.
"Yiming, where exactly did these golden cores come from?"
He Yiming smiled and said, "I was quite lucky. I walked along the dense forest and actually passed through the Jinlin Kingdom to arrive in the Fire Crow Kingdom …"
He recounted his encounter with the Xie family. Of course, he hid some things, especially the matter about the Xiantian Boundary, which he only mentioned briefly. As for the matter of the two long-armed raccoons, he said that he obtained them by working together with the Xie family.
It was not that he wanted to hide it, but if he told them now, it would be too shocking. Since that was the case, he would wait for another half a year. After all, he only broke through once every half a year, and everyone seemed to be used to it.
However, even though he said it simply, He Wude and the others were already shuddering with fear when they heard it.
After a long while, He Wude sighed and said, "Yiming, you're quite lucky to have met a benefactor. Two spirit beasts, Neidan, hehe … The Xie family did not take them for themselves. You've really made a good friend. "
He Yiming chuckled and did not refute.
Although he and Hsieh Ming-chin could be considered friends, he knew that if he did not display a powerful strength that could not be matched by an ordinary level ten inner strength expert, it was hard to say if the Xie family would still treat him so kindly.
After he successfully broke through to the Xiantian Boundary, the Xie family's attitude naturally became more respectful. Even an aristocratic family like them would not covet the things of an Xiantian master.
He Quan Xin let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, he rubbed his palms a few times. He said, "Yiming, since you've already broken through, then you're also a peak tenth layer cultivator. Come, let's spar."
He Yiming was slightly startled, saying, "Uncle, how would I dare to spar with you?"
He Laibao laughed, saying, "Yiming, you can spar with me. When I was still at level nine, he came to spar with me every two or three days. Unfortunately, now that he's reached level ten, he has no opponent. These few months, he's already had a hard time tolerating it. "
He Yiming could not help but laugh.
Among the second generation of the He family, He Quanxin was undoubtedly the most talented one. He was also the most diligent in cultivation and had the highest achievements. Of course, this was related to his talent, but the intensity of his cultivation was also much higher than his two brothers.
Before He Yiming, this junior, rose up, the He family's He Quanxin and the Xu family's Xu Qianqian were the two famous martial arts fanatics in Taicang County.
Sneaking a glance at his uncle, he indeed had an awkward smile on his face.
After his uncle broke through to level ten, he indeed had no opponent. Because no matter how daring he was, he did not dare to spar with his old father, He Wude. Now that He Yiming was here, he naturally did not have this worry.
He Wude hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded his head. He also wanted to see what level his most outstanding grandson had reached after leaving home for a few months.
The main hall was quite spacious. A few people moved the tables and chairs aside, instantly creating a large space.
He Yiming and He Quanxin stood facing each other, but their expressions were very relaxed. After all, this was only an internal competition. It was far less dangerous than competing with outsiders.
He Yitian looked at his father and sixth brother in front of him. His mind seemed to have returned to the New Year's competition two years ago.
At that time, although he was not as good as He Yiming, there was still hope for him to catch up. However, he did not expect that in a mere two years, He Yiming had completely left him in the dust. At this moment, even his father, whom he admired the most in his life, could only stand shoulder to shoulder with his sixth brother. Then, in a few more years, how much would he grow to?
Slowly raising his hand, the relaxed expression on He Quanxin's face gradually faded. Slowly, it was replaced by an incomparably solemn expression.
He Yiming stood with his feet spread out and his fists crossed in front of his chest. This was the classic starting position of the Rolling Stone Fist. Once it was used, it would immediately be like a huge boulder rolling, one circle after another, attacking the opponent.
Although He Quanxin did not know this technique of the Metal Element, it did not mean that he did not know this trick.
Furthermore, the cultivation technique he practiced was of the Earth Attribute.
Among the five elements, the Earth Element technique was undoubtedly the strongest in terms of defense. Even with the Metal Element's attack power, under the same circumstances, it would be impossible to break through the Earth Element technique's defense.
However, for some reason, after seeing He Yiming's stance, he suddenly had a strange thought. That was, the longer the two of them were in a stalemate, the slimmer his chances of winning would be.
This feeling did not make sense, but it was so realistic, and it was getting stronger.
He laughed bitterly in his heart, but in the end, he still made the first move.
At the same time, the surrounding people also had a strange feeling.
The person who was good at the Metal Element technique and claimed to have the best attack power had chosen to defend, while the person who was good at the Earth Element technique and claimed to have the best defense had chosen to attack.
Other than He Wude, the rest of the people exchanged glances. They all felt that it was strange, as if everything had been turned upside down.
On the other hand, He Wude was pleasantly surprised. His inner strength was at the peak of Level Ten, which was a level higher than He Quanxin's. Naturally, he would have a similar feeling. Therefore, he clearly knew that He Quanxin did not want to attack, but was forced to attack.
This was because if the two of them continued to be in a stalemate, He Quanxin would eventually lose the courage to attack.
At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that Yiming's cultivation was actually higher than Quanxin's?
"Whoosh …"
He Quanxin punched out. Although this punch wasn't fast, the power behind it was extremely steady. His arm was like a mountain, crashing down with a rumble.
He Yiming did not dodge. Instead, he crossed his fists and finally used the Rolling Stone Fist.
The two of them released what they had learned bit by bit, and the power of their punches and kicks slowly increased. However, they had a tacit understanding with each other. They did not break the decorations and things in the hall.
He Quanxin's Earth Element technique was somewhat similar to He Yiming's Rolling Stone Fist. However, the only difference was that the Rolling Stone Fist was an aggressive fist technique. Punch after punch, almost all of them were attacks. However, He Quanxin's authentic Earth Element Fist Technique was undoubtedly a defensive fist technique. When the two of them exchanged blows, the sound of fists and feet colliding could be heard continuously. However, they were evenly matched for a while. No one could truly gain the upper hand.
He Wude nodded slightly. After a while, he finally said in a low voice, "Stop."
He Yiming and He Quanxin immediately jumped back. Although they were locked in a stalemate, they did not dare to go against the old man's words. Therefore, they immediately jumped back.
He Wude looked at Yiming happily and said, "From now on, our He Family Village will have three Level Ten inner strength cultivators. In Taicang County, our He Family's era of dominance is about to arrive. "
He pinched the golden pill in his hand and thought for a moment. Finally, he said, "Give Laibao one golden pill. Other than that, in the future, anyone who can cultivate to the peak of Level Nine will receive a golden pill." His gaze locked onto the jade bottle in his hand. He softly muttered, "With these things, perhaps our He Family can really pass on for a thousand years."
