【The road to North Qin is not easy】
【The mountains are high and the road is long, and fierce tigers occasionally appear in the mountain forests】
【In the nineteenth year, you had walked halfway on your northward journey. In a snowy area, you heard a roar】
【With a quick glance, a huge black shadow leaped down from a nearby tree trunk】
【It was a black tiger】
【It ferociously attacked you】
【Its eyes were extremely terrifying, and just its gaze and voice could scare an ordinary person to death】
【You drew your long saber, and Earthly Fiend Aura surged out, extending along the blade】
【Hiss!!】
【After successfully dodging one of its attacks, you turned and swung your saber】
【The black tiger's defense was astonishing】
【Even with the amplification of Earthly Fiend Aura, you felt as if you were chopping at a stone】
【Too hard】
【You clenched your fists and continued to fight it】
【The black tiger also knew you were not to be trifled with. After a few rounds, it found an opportunity and rushed down the slope to the side, disappearing in the blink of an eye】
【“It's gone? I haven't had enough fun yet.”】
【You felt a little regretful】
【Mainly because you didn't have enough dry food, and the road ahead was still very long】
【Tightening your clothes, you quickened your pace】
【“Benefactor, good skill!”】
【Just as you were about to continue forward, a white figure flew over, smiling at you】
【He was tall and slender, wearing a Buddhist robe, with prayer beads hanging on his chest, a bald head, red lips and white teeth. He wore very little clothing, and seemed to have a high cultivation level】
【“Little monk also looks refreshed.”】
【You glanced at the package behind him, and the next moment, you fell directly to the ground: “I, I can't do it!”】
【The young monk was puzzled and came before you: “Benefactor, your blood and qi are boiling, and your body is strong. There's no problem.”】
【You shook your head and pointed to your mouth: “Master, you don't understand, I haven't eaten for three days.”】
【The young monk took out his package without hesitation: “Here, these are the flatbreads I've eaten for three days, you can have them all.”】
【Looking at the teeth marks on them and the black stuff around the edges, your mouth twitched: “Master, do you just eat this?”】
【“Yes.”】
【The young monk showed a faint smile: “No matter where you go, no matter how far the road, one flatbread is enough.”】
【You were speechless】
【Standing up, you bowed to him: “Farewell.”】
【“Hey, wait for me, Benefactor. Are you also going to North Qin? Let's go together.”】
【The young monk chased after you: “I am Fa Ming, the third-generation Disciple of Qinglian Temple. And you, Benefactor?”】
【Qinglian Temple?】
【You had an impression that it seemed to be a Buddhist power in South Xia, but you weren't clear about the specifics. You had focused on cultivation all these years and knew very little about these things】
【“My name is Wang Ergou.”】
【You put away your long saber and said casually】
【When you're in the martial world, a small alias is very important】
【“Er Gou brother, what are you going to North Qin for?”】
【“Visiting relatives.”】
【“Ah, you have relatives in North Qin.”】
【“Yes.”】
【“Then what are you going to North Qin for?”】
【“Killing someone.”】
【Fa Ming chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth】
【You became interested】
【This monk's cultivation was much stronger than yours. The person he wanted to kill...】
【After some thought, you decided to run away】
【It's better to get involved in this kind of thing as little as possible】
【“Mountains and rivers meet. Fa Ming brother, we will meet again.”】
【With that, you quickly ran forward】
【“Benefactor, wait for me. Aren't you curious why I want to kill him?”】
【Fa Ming chased after you】
【“Curiosity can kill the cat.”】
【The two of you journeyed together like this. Fa Ming was a chatterbox and talked non-stop along the way】
【You also learned a lot from him】
【Fa Ming, twenty-one years old, a monk from Qinglian Temple, with Outer Strength Peak cultivation. This time he was going to North Qin to pursue and kill an evil person】
【That person was named Han Bupan. He had killed many people near Red Lotus Temple, robbed homes and businesses, and harmed the local area. Originally, Qinglian Temple was not going to deal with it, but he was unlucky enough to rob a lay Disciple of Qinglian Temple】
【Thus, Fa Ming was dispatched】
【How is this temple's value system a bit twisted?】
【Half a month later】
【In a cave, you lit a fire】
【You skillfully cleaned the wild wolf you had just hunted and placed it by the fire to roast】
【“Amitabha.”】
【Fa Ming chanted a Buddhist name, his face solemn】
【“Fa Ming brother, what Realm is after Outer Strength?”】
【You asked curiously】
【Fa Ming glanced at you and said indifferently: “After Outer Strength is Congenital, Marrow Cleansing, Zhen Bone Realm, Grandmaster, Earthly Gang, Celestial Dipper.”】
【Good, good, good】
【Body Tempering, Qi Condensation, Inner Strength, Outer Strength, Congenital, Marrow Cleansing, Zhen Bone Realm, Grandmaster, Earthly Gang, Celestial Dipper】
【A total of ten Realms!】
【Even the cultivation world doesn't have so many】
【Shaking your head, now is not the time to strive. First, cultivate to Inner Strength Peak!】
【You were very clear about the purpose of this simulation and absolutely could not waste the opportunity】
【Soon, the wolf meat was ready】
【You tore off a leg and started gnawing on it directly】
【Although there were no seasonings or anything, it still tasted okay, just a little sour】
【Fa Ming sighed repeatedly: “Amitabha.”】
【Then, with a wave of his hand, a strand of golden Earthly Fiend Aura flew out and cut off a piece of meat. He skillfully caught it and chewed it in large mouthfuls】
【You were stunned】
【“Master, aren't monks... not supposed to eat meat?”】
【Fa Ming rolled his eyes at you: “How can you cultivate without eating meat?”】
【You were speechless】
【You also realized that this guy was a clown, powerful, but with zero life experience, and also a chatterbox】
【Hard to bear】
【Twentieth year】
【You finally walked out of this snow mountain】
【“After Taibai Mountain, it's North Qin. The road ahead will get warmer and warmer.”】
【Fa Ming chuckled】
【That's right】
【This world is very strange】
【It's cold in the middle and hot on both sides, you don't know what the principle is】
【After the two of you walked a bit further, you parted ways】
【“Er Gou brother, we will meet again.”】
【Fa Ming smiled at you】
【“Tch.”】
【You rolled your eyes at him and turned to leave quickly】
【Three months later, you arrived at a small town in the central part of North Qin. After some inquiries, you settled in a village twenty li outside the city】
【This was a genuine mountain village, sparsely populated, with simple folk customs. You liked it very much here】
【This time you didn't ask anyone to prepare food for you, but were self-sufficient】
【In the two years on Taibai Mountain, you had fallen in love with hunting】
【It's like fishing, you feel uncomfortable all over if you don't hunt for a day!】
【You built a house yourself at the foot of the mountain and began a peaceful period of arduous cultivation】
【Life was monotonous, but you enjoyed it】
【In the twenty-fifth year, your Earthly Fiend Aura expanded by a whole circle, and your combat power was stronger. At the same time, you also used your free time to cultivate Sky-Shaking Fist and Piercing-Hall Leg to their Peak】
【The two Body Tempering martial arts didn't greatly increase your strength, but they were still somewhat useful】
