Retaining Immortal Village was located less than a mile away from Qingshui River. There were about a few hundred people in the village, and they had all lived here for generations. After a long time, they had already formed their own unique customs.
The geographical location of the mountain village was excellent, and the villagers lived a peaceful life. Because they lived in the mountains, the villagers were all martial artists. Children of a few years old were already building a solid foundation, training their physical strength, and embarking on the path of cultivation.
The ancient village had a very long history. According to legend, the reason why Retaining Immortal Village was called Retaining Immortal Village was because an immortal had once visited this place.
However, no one believed this. After all, immortals were just a legend.
In this world, there were no longer any immortals. Even the various rumors about the Ancient Emperors had become a kind of heavy history, gradually drowning in the long river of time.
Lin Lin walked along the bluestone path of the village and saw many children. They were all very young, and the oldest was not even ten years old. They gathered in groups of three to five, lifting stones and doing deep squats under the morning sun to train their bodies and strengthen their muscles and bones.
Walking past this group of children, Lin Lin smiled and walked into the village.
"Big Brother Lin Lin, you're back! Did you bring us good food?" A chubby boy with snot running down his nose, wearing animal skin, ran over and asked Lin Lin in a childish voice.
Behind him, there were many children of the same age. They were all about four or five years old, and were very young and innocent.
"Chubby kid, you only know how to eat all day. If you eat any more, you'll become a big fat pig. See if your father doesn't beat you to death then!" Lin Lin looked at the chubby kid and threatened.
"My father won't dare to beat me. If he beats me, my mother will beat him, beat him, beat him fiercely! Hmph! "
The little fatty shook his head, and the two strings of mucus on his nose were flung out like noodles, and the mucus grew longer and longer.
"Suck!"
The chubby kid sucked fiercely, and the string of snot was sucked back.
"Tsk tsk, Chubby kid, your snot sucking skills have improved again. You might as well not be called Chubby Kid, but Snot Worm!"
"Hmph, I'm not called Chubby Kid, nor Snot Worm. I'm called Yun Hao, the vast and boundless Hao! Sooner or later, I'll surpass you. I'll surpass everyone. I'll become the man who shakes Little Barren Mountain! "Fatty said in a childish voice. His head was held high, and he was extremely proud of himself.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Little Fatty Yun Hao will become the strongest man in the mountains. When that time comes, you can eat whatever you want. If you want to eat wild beasts, you can also catch them yourself, right?"
Lin Lin looked at the little fatty's proud face and said with a smile.
"Of course!" The little fatty said in a childish voice. His tone was full of certainty.
"Alright, alright, alright. Hurry up and go cultivate. Strive to become a man who can shake the mountains as soon as possible. Your Brother Lin Ye still has things to do. This time, I forgot to bring good food. Next time, I'll bring some more for you. See you later, Fatty! "
Lin Lin fiercely rubbed Fatty's chubby cheeks, then waved his hand and left.
"Brother Lin Ye, don't forget to bring good food next time!"
"Got it!" Lin Lin walked, waved his hand behind him, and headed home.
Little Lin Lin quickly returned home after passing through several layers of low stone houses.
His home was here. It was obviously much bigger than the other stone houses in the village. Surrounding it was a stone wall made of green stones, forming a small courtyard.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Lin Lin walked in.
"Grandfather, I'm back!"
"Since you're back, come over!"
An old voice came from within the stone house.
Lin Lin didn't understand. He frowned, but still followed the voice obediently and walked in.
…
In the study, in front of an old wooden table, an old man was sitting on a chair. He held an old piece of animal skin in his hands and looked at it quietly.
Not long after, the door creaked and Lin Lin walked in.
"Grandfather!"
"Yes, little guy. How's your cultivation recently?" The old man nodded. After seeing Lin Lin sit down, he put down the sheepskin scroll and raised his head to ask.
"I've disappointed grandfather. I still haven't broken through the bottleneck!"
Lin Lin shook his head.
"Sigh!" The old man sighed and a tinge of disappointment flashed across his eyes. "It's grandfather's fault. Our Liuxian Village is too poor. We don't have any precious medicine or resources to provide you. Otherwise, with your physique, you would have broken through the Dao Palace secret realm long ago …"
The cultivation in the world was divided into five major secret realms.
Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform.
Even the first secret realm, Sea of Reincarnation, was divided into four steps.
Opening up the Sea of Misery, cultivating the Life Spring, building the Divine Bridge, and reaching the Paramita.
Sea of Misery, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and Paramita.
Lin Lin's current cultivation had reached the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Secret Realm, the Paramita Complete Realm. He was just one step away from breaking through to the second major secret realm of cultivation, Dao Palace.
However, this step required too many resources. Although he was talented, it would still be difficult for him to break through in a short period of time if he were to rely on hard work.
His Sea of Misery was special. It was golden in color and there was no end in sight. On the surface of the sea, golden mist was constantly emitting and flowing with Dao Rhymes. It was as though a deity was singing and the Dao was humming.
This meant that he had a special physique and was a genius.
…
In this world, there was a type of person who was born extraordinary.
Lin Lin was such a person.
Although he didn't know it himself, the old man knew it very well.
When Lin Lin was born, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. The sky within a radius of a few miles was shining with red clouds and golden light. Streaks of golden light were like dragons and phoenixes. Following Lin Lin's birth, they circled around him and intertwined with Dao Principles and explained the sound of Dao. It took a long time for them to dissipate.
This incident caused a huge commotion back then. However, no one knew that the person who caused this strange phenomenon was Lin Lin who was just born. Other than Lin Lin's parents and the old man, no one else knew about it.
According to the ancient records, those who caused strange phenomena were definitely talented. Although Liu Xian Village was located in a remote area, the old man was still clear about this.
However, he didn't know what kind of physique Lin Lin had. He only knew that it was special and that he was a natural genius in cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Lin started cultivating when he was six years old. In just six to seven years, he had already reached the limit of the Sea of Reincarnation Secret Realm and was just one step away from breaking through to the Dao Palace level.
It could be said that he was already standing at the peak of the entire Liu Xian Village.
However, Liu Xian Village was too poor. Although it had a long history, it was located in a remote area. There wasn't a single cultivator in the Dao Palace level in the entire village. Therefore, it wasn't a big village in the mountains and had even fewer resources.
To the old man, the young Lin Lin was his only hope. He hoped that Lin Lin could grow up one day and take over his position. He hoped that he could lead the people of Liu Xian Village to prosperity and even walk out of this mountain.
If it weren't for the restriction of resources, Lin Lin's current cultivation would probably be even more terrifying.
Therefore, the old man felt that it was a pity. At the same time, he was very gratified.
Although this child was very young, he was very sensible. Although he was a little gluttonous, he was very obedient and diligent in cultivation. At such a young age, he had a maturity that surpassed that of ordinary people.
"It's a pity that Ah Feng and Ah Ling won't be able to see him. Sigh!"
Ah Feng and Ah Ling were the old man's daughter and son-in-law. They were also Lin Lin's parents. Unfortunately, they were severely injured and died in an attack by demonic beasts. They passed away early, leaving behind Lin Lin, who was only one year old at the time.
When he thought of this, a look of heartache flashed across the old man's eyes.
"Little guy, work hard in your cultivation and grow up quickly. I'm afraid that I don't have much time left!"
