Li Yi's soul was swept by the green data stream and entered an unformed body, slowly beginning to conceive and rebirth.
On the unknown coastline, a ragged boy leaned tiredly beside the broken boat, his eyes closed. If it weren't for the faint ups and downs on his chest, it would have made people think he was a dead person.
The waves rush, as if they were to send the dead to the dead, as if they were a melodious song to welcome the arrival of the strong. But the young man seemed to not care about everything in front of him. Although the surging waves could bring him into the sea again at any time, he closed his eyes motionlessly.
After a long time, the boy finally opened his eyes and murmured at the surging sea: "I finally escaped."
Lily of the Valley City, a prosperous coastal city, comes to countless gold diggers every year to make a living. It seems like gold everywhere attracts one outsider after another who is full of wealth. Everyone is irresistible to live a life of luxury and luxury.
Some people succeeded in living a life of drunkenness and dreams from now on, and more people died, and there was no place to be buried after death. Although many gold diggers were exhausted and starved to death in Lily of the Valley City every year, it was not less likely to come here to try their luck. So many people died every year in Lily of the Valley City but did not see it becoming empty, but became more and more crowded.
Today's Lily of the Valley City is no different from every day in the past. The traffic is bustling and crowded, the crowded crowds are always demonstrating the crowding and prosperity of this city.
A young man in rags was standing at the gate of Lily of the Valley, stopping, as if a city gate had a huge attraction.
He stared blankly at the word "Lily of the Valley" on the city wall for a long time, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
The breeze gently blew past, blowing away his dirty long hair and his thoughts. After a long silence, the boy slowly lowered his head and said to himself: "Li Yi, you will set off here again." After that, the boy Li Yi walked into Lily of the Valley City.
There were people coming and going on the street, calling for buying, and hawking sounds one after another, making it very lively. Li Yi walked through the crowd with interest. Although his face was calm, the surprise and confusion in his eyes revealed his identity as an outsider.
Pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, and even ronin who make a living by performing arts on the streets will make Li Yi feel very novel.
"What a wonderful world." Li Yi sighed as he walked.
The sun was falling, and before I knew it, the sunset had dyed half of the sky red. Smelling the fragrance of food from the restaurant on the street, Li Yi smiled bitterly and touched his stomach, and then realized that he had not eaten for a day.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Li Yi thought to himself: "It seems that he can only find a place outside the city to spend the night at night. I hope he is lucky and can find something to fill his stomach." Thinking of this, Li Yi quickly walked out of the city.
But it seems that God is destined to create something uneasy for Li Yi, and Li Yi encountered a small problem before he could go very far.
"Boy, don't you think you bumped into me just now?" A voice came from behind Li Yi leisurely. Li Yi hesitated and looked back at the person behind him who called him. This person is fat and big-headed, with a fat face. He looks like he is not a good thing at first glance. But he really doesn't know why he bumped into this person, so he asked in confusion: "Brother, did I bump into you just now?"
"Hey! Boy, I still don't want to admit my account after hitting someone. Uncle, I'm weak and I feel a little painful after you hit me. What do you think? Should I pay for the uncle or apologize to the uncle? There is no need to do it too much. Three or five gold coins or kneel down and kowtow. Uncle, I'm happy that this matter may not be investigated by you."
After hearing the fat man's words, Li Yi knew that the fat man wanted to make fun of himself. After all, his ragged look didn't look like he could be rich. After figuring out these things, Li Yi actually laughed. The fat man's life-and-death approach really made him laugh and cry.
Seeing Li Yi laughing, the fat man was a little confused and cursed viciously: "Didn't the stinky beggar hear the uncle? Why are you laughing at? Do you have to deal with you?"
"I don't have money and don't want to apologize to you. If you know the truth, you can get away. I don't want to kill anyone." After laughing, Li Yi didn't seem to want to talk nonsense to this fat man. He said this coldly, and his eyes when he looked at the fat man became extremely cold.
Hearing Li Yi's words, the fat man wanted to say something viciously, but when he saw Li Yi's eyes, he felt his whole body start to get cold, as if he was in an ice cellar. From Li Yi's eyes, the fat man seemed to feel that maybe he could talk more nonsense, and this seemingly harmless boy would really make him do it. After forcing him for a few seconds, he finally couldn't support him. He ran away in shame without saying anything. Li Yi's eyes made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the fat man who escaped, Li Yi's eyes gradually returned to calm. Thinking of the fat man's farce appearance, the young man couldn't help laughing, but looking at the sky, Li Yi lowered his head and prepared to continue walking out of the city, but he was stopped by a voice after he had just walked out a few steps.
Li Yi turned his head impatiently to look at the person who called him, but saw an uncle with a kind smile. Looking at the smiling face, Li Yi's impatient expression closed a little, but he became a little more confused.
"Uncle, did you call me? Is there anything wrong?"
"Hahaha, it's the uncle who called you. The young man just came to Lily of the Valley. Is there no place to live when I walk out of the city so late?"
"Well, I only arrived at Lily of the Valley today. I really did leave the city so late because I had no place to stay."
"Hi! What city should I leave? There are wild mountains and rivers outside. If you go out at night, you are not afraid of letting wild animals eat it." The uncle saw that he was a person with a cheerful personality, and actually joked with Li Yi.
"Isn't this impossible?" Li Yi said with a wry smile.
"Haha, don't go out, young man. If you don't dislike me, just live in the uncle's place. I, a little blacksmith shop, can live in you alone." The middle-aged uncle smiled kindly and suggested.
Only then did Li Yi realize that behind the uncle was a blacksmith shop, a big and small shop. Through the door, he saw two long swords standing by the wall, which looked very sharp.
Looking at the middle-aged uncle's kind smile, Li Yi didn't feel anything wrong. Li Yi believed that there was nothing to be plotted on him. After a little thought, he agreed to the other party's proposal and said with a smile: "Then I'll disturb you, thank you uncle."
The uncle waved his hand casually and said, "What are you disturbing, I'm just trying to be lively." Then he started to clean up the store.
After saying a few more words of thanks, Li Yi followed the uncle to close the blacksmith shop.
Li Yi ate a simple meal, but he was greedy. His belly was empty, and this kind of food that was not greasy was more suitable for filling his stomach.
After dinner, the weather was already dim. The middle-aged uncle lit a candle. In the dim candlelight, Li Yi began to learn something from the uncle that he wanted to know.
Through conversation, Li Yi learned that the neighbors who kindly wanted to take him in were all liked to call him Uncle Tony, a blacksmith who had been fighting for half his life. His wife, Wuer Wuniao, also died in the early years. She was an absolute old bachelor. When she was young, she served in another country. Later, she left the army because of injuries. Ten years ago, she moved to Lily Valley City and opened a blacksmith shop in the city with the money given by the state. In a blink of an eye, she reached this age.
Li Yi told Old Tony that he was tired of life in his hometown and wanted to come out and see the outside world.
He didn't know how far Li Yi's hometown was from this continent. He only knew that he had been floating on the sea for more than half a year before he saw a continent. During this period, he was extremely dangerous. Even the four companions who traveled with him died on the sea and would never have the chance to see the outside world. He also survived countless storms with great luck and finally arrived on this continent.
Listening to Li Yi's description, the kind Uncle Tony was also sighing. Although he always took over the crisis by listening to Li Yi's narration, even if he couldn't think of what the danger was, it must not be something that ordinary people could experience. Li Yi was able to float on the sea with a small boat for half a year, I have to say that he was so lucky.
However, after sighing, the uncle found that Li Yi didn't seem to be very sad about the death of his companions. This made him a little strange. However, after a little curiosity, he didn't think much about anything and began to introduce Li Yi to the continent where Li Yi is now.
This is an extremely vast continent called the Shengyuan Continent. According to Uncle Tony's description, Li Yi knew that this place was many times larger than his hometown.
The Holy Yuan Continent is entirely ruled by humans. There are three hegemonic countries and many small countries on the continent. These small countries each subdue the nearby major countries, thus forming a three-point situation on the mainland.
The three major powers are the Tianlan Empire, the Atlan Empire and the Sai Empire. The three empires all govern the country by force. After all, this is a world that speaks by strength. It is impossible to maintain a dominant position without strong force.
Moreover, the sea areas separated by the two continents are not wide at all. Although the two continents have only had two real duels in thousands of years, the rulers dare not take it lightly, because no one knows when the opposite continent will suddenly attack. If they cannot resist, they will definitely become prisoners of other tribes. This cannot happen.
Therefore, for these reasons, the cultivation of the desire for the strong has never been interrupted. The three most famous academies on the Shengyuan Road are in the three empires, the Lily of the Valley Academy of the Tianlan Empire, the En Law Academy of the Atlan Empire and the Puton Academy of the Sai Empire. The secret war between the three major academies is actually equivalent to the secret war between the empires. After all, the number of strong people is also the standard for determining the strength of the country.
Lily of the Valley Academy is in Lily of the Valley City. With the halo of "the cradle of the strong", Lily of the Valley City is also a famous city in the Tianlan Empire and even the Shengyuan Continent. So when Uncle Tony heard Li Yi say he didn't know Lily of the Valley City, he was surprised. After all, even people from other countries cannot ignore Lily of the Valley City, even if they don't know the Tianlan Empire's imperial capital.
Of course, Lily of the Valley Academy can be the pride of Lily of the Valley City. Of course, it is not just a simple place to say. Lily of the Valley Academy is a college that young and powerful people in the country have always dreamed of entering. First of all, being able to enter Lily of the Valley Academy is a recognition of their own strength. In addition, the mentors in the college are all long-standing strong people. It is even rumored that there are Saint-level strong people in Lily of the Valley Academy. Students of the same level are mostly excellent, and it is natural to learn that they will gain strength when they are learning.
Lily of the Valley College enrolls students once a year in March, and the enrollment targets are naturally young and strong people, or young people who practice alone or study and become successful among students from all over the country can come to participate in the college's enrollment. Of course, the threshold for Lily of the Valley College is not ordinary high. You must have a higher level of natural force before you are twenty-five years old to be qualified to enter the college.
When Uncle Tony talked about Lily of the Valley Academy, Li Yi also asked Uncle Tony what is the difference between natural power cultivation and the level of strength in Lily of the Valley Continent. Because Uncle Tony has been a soldier, he also knows a lot about these things, after all, this is not a secret thing.
On this continent, whether you are training your body as a melee warrior or practicing magic as a magician, as long as you can understand nature during your cultivation and gradually use the power of nature to improve your cultivation, the power formed by the practitioner itself in your body is called natural force. Although the amount of natural force cannot determine victory or defeat, it is definitely the simplest way to evaluate the level of strength.
According to the degree of natural power cultivation, there are 1 to 7 levels and 7 levels. Of course, after surpassing these seven levels, you can reach a new realm - the saint realm. The realm above the saint is the divine realm. Although it is difficult to reach the saint realm, there are many amazing people who have reached this level for many years. However, the divine realm is really like a legendary existence. The strong people in the divine realm on the entire continent may be able to count with one hand.
With the dinner almost done, Li Yi also gained a rough understanding of some things on the Tianlan Continent through Uncle Tony's introduction.
They talked about some topics, so Old Tony arranged for Li Yi to stay in the same room and then went to rest.
At this time, it was still dark, and the day in Lily of the Valley City finally passed, but Li Yi's life here had just begun.
A ray of sunshine shone into the house from outside the window. Li Yi, who had just woken up, suddenly stood up and subconsciously touched his right hand, not knowing what he was looking for.
After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and touched his nose and said, "So I'm no longer there, I'm in Lily of the Valley."
After wearing the worn out clothes, Li Yi said with a wry smile: "It seems that you have to go out and change your outfit later. You can't be too shabby."
A "ding-dang" sound came from outside the house. Li Yi knew that it must be Uncle Tony who had already gotten up to work. Thinking of this kind middle-aged man, Li Yi smiled knowingly and pushed the door out.
At this time, Old Tony was vigorously beating a long sword, and an iron hammer flew up and down in his hand, and his strong body always showed masculine beauty.
"Uncle, I'm busy getting up so early." Li Yi asked slowly, his voice was extremely magnetic and seemed to have penetration.
Hearing the sound coming from behind, Old Tony looked back hesitantly. After seeing who was talking to him clearly, he suddenly put down the hammer in his hand and said to Li Yi with a smile: "It's Li Boy. You see, I'm used to living in it, and I forgot that you are a guest."
"Uncle, don't be so polite. I'm just an idle person who makes a living." Old Tony was so polite, and Li Yi felt a little embarrassed.
"Haha, all the visitors are guests. Today you go out for a walk and have a good tour of Lily of the Valley City." As he said that, Old Tony took out a few more gold coins for Li Yi.
Chapter completed!
