Chapter 012
"Xu Xiaochen, go and practice martial arts?"
The autumn rain continued. At noon, in the Shen family courtyard, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, dressed in a capable dress, passed by the Shen family's library, and one of them shouted to it.
If you look closely, you will find that one of the two teenagers has a slightly raised temple. At such a young age, he is at least a master at the fourth level of Qi Transformation in the Fetal Realm.
Another young man is also strong and steadily, and is obviously a cultivator.
"Oh. It's Chen Zui and Shen Hao. I won't go. You know, I have a problem with my body, and no matter how hard I practice, it will be of no effect. Haha."
On the second floor of the library, a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a thick book in his hand, leaned out and smiled at the two boys downstairs.
The boy is of medium height, slightly thin, with a paler complexion than ordinary people, and looks like he is recovering from a serious illness. He is wearing a simple but clean body, a little faded sky blue gown, plus a pair of bright and spiritual eyes, clear as water, and a bright smile. He looks particularly energetic, and has a kind of indifferent and scholarly spirit that is not commensurate with his age.
This young man is Xu Xiaochen, Long San's orphan, and his baby back then.
Zhao Danxin has been in the Shen family for fourteen years, and the young man is now just fourteen years old. The two young men downstairs are the young masters of the Shen family, who are intoxicated.
There is also Chen Qianshan’s nephew Shen Hao.
Like Xu Xiaochen, he was just fourteen years old. He was a seventh-grade Taoist bone, and he had already entered the fifth level of the fetal realm and the bone-changing realm, and then went to the Shen family to sell most of the fetal realm skills at a sky-high price, as well as some great medicinal materials. At the beginning of the year, he had easily refined the essence in his body and transformed a trace of essence and energy, becoming a master of Qi transformation in the fourth level of the fetal realm.
The fourteen-year-old master of Qi transformation is a recognized genius of the Shen family, and it is not common to be placed in the world. You should know that Zhao Danxin was over thirty years old back then, but he was the peak of Qi transformation.
Of course, intoxication is still far from the peak of Qi transformation. Compared with Zhao Danxin back then, he has never experienced any blows of wind and rain.
If he is allowed to walk in the world now, even the third-level elite refining master in the fetal realm can easily kill him with his experience, ruthlessness and ease!
As for Shen Hao, he is one year younger than Xu Xiaochen, Chen Zuochen, and is just thirteen years old. He is the second genius of the Shen family. Although he has not reached the level of Qi Transformation, he is also the second level of the fetal realm and is in the late stage of the essence refining realm!
...
"Xu Xiaochen, if you are not in good health, you should practice harder so that you can make progress. You only know that you are staying here to read books all day long, and your distance from us will only get farther and farther away. Could it be that you really want to get a good fortune? I heard from me that scholars have no future. No matter how many books you read, it is a dead end to the age of 60. Only practice is the only right way to achieve immortality and glorify your ancestors!"
A trace of sympathy flashed in his intoxicated eyes, and he shook his head slightly.
In fact, he has said this many times.
"Where do I need to get a good fortune? I'm just reading some miscellaneous books to pass the time. As for Guangzong Yaozu, I don't even know who my parents are, so how can I talk about Guangzong Yaozu?"
Xu Xiaochen still smiled casually, but there was a hint of firmness hidden deep in his indifferent gaze, as if nothing could change his thoughts.
In fact, it is not that Xu Xiaochen does not seek to make progress, but that the blood god and demon species still exist over the years, and the blood energy it devours more and more during each attack, and the interval between attacks is getting shorter and shorter. Thirteen years ago, the blood god and demon species only occurred once every month. In the past month, it has occurred once every three days.
Every time there was an attack, Xu Xiaochen could clearly feel the approach of death, and it was getting closer and closer. Compared with death, the pain of heart-eating is insignificant.
Faced with the threat of death and suffering, some people will fight hard, while some people will be defeated by threats. Xu Xiaochen appears to belong to the latter, but in fact, he belongs to the former more.
He did not practice because under the devour of the blood god and demon seed, no matter how hard he worked, he was almost standing still and could not solve any problems.
He stayed here to read books, on the surface he was trying to pass the time, but in fact he wanted to find a solution to the problem in the Shen family's rich collection of books.
Although his idea, although he has little chance of success, is lucky and even a little naive, it is better than not fighting. For a young man, it is the most correct and realistic idea.
As Shen Zui’s master, Xu Xiaochen is equivalent to Zhao Danxin’s adopted son. Since five years ago, Shen Yunmeng, the daughter of the Shen family, almost had a frustration and finally successfully married Zhao Danxin, Xu Xiaochen’s status has risen. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter and exit the Shen family’s library at will.
Since the autumn of the age of ten, Xu Xiaochen, who has not yet read a lot, walked into this library for the first time and came every morning. It has been four years since then.
In the past four years, in order to survive, Xu Xiaochen has also vaguely escapisted from reality, numbing himself and gaining knowledge, and read it hungrily, almost all the books in the library.
It is naturally impossible for him to find a solution to the blood god and demon species in the book. However, the dilemma has not been solved, but he has more knowledge and truth than his peers.
He was even more yearning and curious about the simple descriptions of cultivators and monsters in some idle books. However, there was nothing else in front of him, so he could get rid of the predicament and survive!
To be honest, he is a little afraid of death, but he is not greedy for life. With the existence of the blood god and demon seed, he often feels that life is worse than death.
However, whenever he feels the regret, expectation, or a hint of disappointment from Zhao Danxin, Doctor Guo, Shen Yunmeng and others, as well as some small beauty in the books in life, or hears the contempt of some ignorant people, or even jealous of their status, he will be more determined to live.
If it weren't for this belief, a young man, who was at the age of playing, could he stay in the library all day and face unanimous books?
...
"Brother, let's go. Beside him, an outsider, a servant, a waste, a junior, a lazy person, a coward, what's there to say! Doctor Guo's day for our Shen family to visit this year is coming soon. In order to wait for Doctor Guo, the town has been very lively in the past month. Many heroes from the world gathered here, and there are fighting and competitions on the street every day. After practicing, let's go and have a look." Shen Hao looked at Xu Xiaochen with some disdain, pulled Shen Zui away, and at the same time he deliberately raised his voice.
Xu Xiaochen upstairs was not angry when he heard this. He just shook his head slightly, then he still smiled calmly, entered the room and continued to read.
He naturally understood what Shen Hao meant. But he didn't take it seriously. His experience and his realm could not be understood by an ignorant child like Shen Hao.
With such a child, he naturally does not make unnecessary verbal disputes. Faced with the threat of death, he can already tell what is not worth caring about and what is the most important thing.
However, when Shen Hao mentioned the battle and competition of heroes in the martial arts world, the curiosity of young people immediately appeared on Xu Xiaochen.
"I'll go out and take a look later." Xu Xiaochen said to himself.
