After Ye Jing'an and Zhou Qingmu said goodbye to Lin Chengshuang, they came to the inn in the nearest city.

The city is called Da Zhou Tian City, and the inn is called Xiao Zhou Tian Inn.

The guest room where the two of them were staying had only two beds, a wooden table, two wooden chairs and a long wooden bucket for bathing behind a curtain.

At this time, Zhou Qingmu was sitting cross-legged on the floor in accordance with Mr. Ye's request, and took out the ancient sword and small porcelain bottle from the box he had brought out from the hall.

Ye Jing'an stretched out two fingers and made a move, and the small porcelain bottle levitated. The cork of the small porcelain bottle flew out, and a blood-red aura surged out of it, threatening to soar into the sky.

"town!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Jing'an waved his other hand and suppressed the soaring aura with the word "suppression" in his mouth.

Then a golden "elixir" wrapped in blood-red luster slowly floated out of the small porcelain bottle.

"Zhou Qingmu, eat it."

At the same time, inside the Great Zhoutian City.

An old beggar who was sleeping soundly on the roadside opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat that had appeared on his wrinkled forehead at some point, and looked at the inn not far away. The old man murmured: "The road is in chaos.

.”

A young sword-wielding swordsman who was arguing with the waiter in a store and wanted to get credit stopped chatting and suddenly turned his head to look somewhere. The waiter scratched his head and didn't know why. He thought he was trying to distract himself and escape, so he hurriedly

Urge the young man in front of you to give money quickly.

The beings hiding in the city all looked at the tyrannical aura that suddenly emanated from the Little Zhoutian Inn at this moment.

In just an instant, this breath disappeared again.

In addition to the lobby on the ground floor, there are three floors of guest rooms in Xiao Zhoutian Inn, and there are nine guest rooms on each floor. From high to low, the rooms are occupied according to status. At this time, the middle room on the highest floor has the word "Lihuo" hanging on it.

In the guest room, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind a graceful and elegant woman in a purple dress. The elegant woman turned her head slightly and asked, "Have you found the person whose aura is emanating from the guest room?"

The black shadow was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Madam, the aura was blocked by a very powerful method. I apologize for my incompetence and my inability to intervene in the investigation."

"I can roughly guess the result, so I don't blame you." Madam Hua Gui waved her hand.

"But madam, the moment the strange aura came out, there were several powerful auras that tried to test it one after another, including even those in the guest room on the fourth floor. Although the person who was masking the aura intervened in time to block it, at that moment, the subordinates

We captured the approximate location. That aura came from the second floor. Those people probably haven't noticed it yet, should we go first..." The black figure slowly spoke again after hearing the words, and stretched out his hand.

He made a gesture across his neck.

Mrs. Hua Gui pushed the abacus on the table, waved her hand and said: "No need, you think this person is just a means of concealing his aura, which makes those people helpless. How can we kill people quietly?"

Where is the treasure? Even if we do it, I am afraid that our strength will be greatly reduced. If those people take action at that time, the result will always be that those people take advantage of it. This deal is not cost-effective. It seems that our inn today

A big shot has arrived. It is best for us to make friends with this person, not to be an enemy. Okay, you can go down. I will send someone to the second floor to take a look."

...

In the guest room, Zhou Qingmu swallowed the golden "elixir" at Ye Jing'an's signal. The elixir was extremely hot to the touch and almost burned Zhou Qingmu's hand before. This "elixir" came from the mysterious hall,

Therefore, Zhou Qingmu knew that this elixir was extremely extraordinary, so he endured the pain in his hands and put the elixir into his mouth.

As soon as this golden "elixir" entered his mouth, it turned into a warm current and flowed into his abdomen. At that moment, Zhou Qingmu's whole body suddenly felt a strong pain. Zhou Qingmu rolled back and forth on the floor, screaming in pain. This was because he had been seriously injured before.

I have never felt pain before, as if my whole body was just in an endless sea of ​​fire, then lying on thousands of silver needles, and in the next moment I was tortured by wind and thunder, and finally I was lying in ragged clothes in the glacier. Just like this, the endless cycle.

What Zhou Qingmu failed to see was that bursts of strange black energy emerged from his body. After the black energy surged outside, it returned to the young man's body.

During this period, Zhou Qingmu wanted to die countless times in that mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, but the words that the plainly dressed woman said to him before she died always appeared in his mind: "Never give up hope in this world." The young man gritted his teeth.

He persisted, but it was not enough to withstand the tremendous pain caused by the golden "elixir". Until in the midst of the endless torture, a colorful light suddenly appeared. In that light, the young man saw a person with his back to

My own girl in plain clothes. All the pain, at that moment, became several times smaller.

Afterwards, the unconscious boy saw endless and extremely strange darkness.

Ye Jing'an, who had been watching Zhou Qingmu, now also saw the group of colorful lights in the young man's dantian, gradually approaching the group of blood-red golden light, and finally blending into it.

Ye Jing'an murmured: "What's the difference between doing this and exchanging one's life for one's life?"

After an unknown amount of time, the pain on Zhou Qingmu's body gradually began to dissipate. When he opened his eyes again, it was already night.

Ye Jing'an was looking at him at this time. Zhou Qingmu opened his mouth with difficulty and asked: "Mr. Ye, how long has it been?"

"It's only half a day, not much. I can't do anything about the pain caused by this thing. Since you have successfully survived the pain caused by the first tempering, congratulations, from now on, you can officially step on

Entering the path of spiritual practice.”

As soon as Ye Jing'an said this, the young man lying on the ground suddenly felt full of strength. He jumped up from the ground and jumped up and down in the guest room. He was so happy that he completely ignored the words in Ye Jing'an's mouth: "You have survived successfully."

"The pain caused by the first tempering". The young man was also confused at this time as to why he could practice by himself after taking that golden "elixir". But obviously, the joy in the young man's heart at this time was greater than his doubts. Very soon

Soon, Zhou Qingmu stopped thinking about it.

The happy young man smiled and suddenly collapsed on the ground, with two lines of tears flowing from his eyes.

At this moment, Zhou Qingmu finally saw hope in his bleak life. The years that Zhou Qingmu has walked alone have extinguished the young man's weak hope for life time and time again. In this world, the two races are fighting, and the war is fierce.

In this chaotic world, everyone respects strength, and countless people are walking on the road of continuous cultivation and becoming stronger. And he, Zhou Qingmu, watched people of the same age embark on the road of cultivation time and time again. Although he often looked indifferent,

But how could he really not care about anything? Now the white-haired swordsman Li Qiubai is willing to accept him as his disciple, and the advanced white-clothed Confucian scholar Ye Jing'an is willing to teach him the method of cultivation. All of these are for the young man.
