To Li Chen, there was nothing more interesting than cultivation. After knowing that the reward was to train in the Feng Shui Treasures of the Li family, those who were unwilling to wait for a moment let Li Huayuan take him there.
Li Chen followed Li Huayuan and walked towards the Li Family's inner hall. Li Chen only felt the fragrance of birds and the surrounding atmosphere made him feel relaxed and relaxed as he walked deeper into the Li Family's inner hall. When Li Huayuan came to a stop, Li Chen saw a twenty meter high stone door in front of him. There were two white-haired old men guarding the door. When they saw Li Huaiyuan coming over, one of them came over to welcome him with a smile, ”What wind blew our Chief here? If you want to use this Feng Shui Treasures, just bring a token. Why bring this trip here yourself?”
The other looked at Li Chen and said, ”A little kid that looks unfamiliar? How old are you this year? ”What is your level of strength?”
Before Li Chen could say anything, he looked at Li Huayuan and said respectfully, ”My two ancestors, please don't joke around. I have something to ask of you!”
”Huh?” One of the old man looked at Li Chen in surprise and said, ”Don't tell me that this little guy is your illegitimate child. So, do you need us to open the back door for you and let you train? ”
Li Chen was instantly speechless when he heard this. Li Huaiyuan was also at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. How could I have an illegitimate child... This is the clan's younger generation, Li Chen. Not long ago, he defeated the second ranked Li Cheng, so he has the qualifications to cultivate … ”
When Li Chen heard that Li Chen was actually ranked second, the two old men's faces suddenly lit up. Li Chen only felt that he was a naked sheep, and under the two's covetous gazes, he felt that it was strange!
”Aiya! ”No way!” Li Huayuan hurriedly advised the two of them, ”Normally, you guys would just mess with Brahma, but this guy is very tough. You guys should just wait for him to come out before messing with him!”
Hearing Li Huaiyuan's words, the two old men curled their lips and said, ”Boring!”
Usually, their biggest hobby is to spar with those clan members who come here to cultivate. Of course, they only want to destroy each other unilaterally, but after hearing that Li Chen is injured, they no longer have any interest in him. They could only wave their hands and say, ”Alright, alright! Then let's have him train hard and come out to play with the two of us. ”
Li Chen's eyes twitched. He wisely stood at the side without saying a word. Li Huayuan then exchanged a few more pleasantries before letting the two open the door.
A rumbling sound entered Li Chen's mind. He saw the two old men pressing their fingers to their chests and a powerful spiritual energy being transmitted from their hands to the stone door. The stone door let out a rumbling sound before slowly opening.
Just as he was wondering, he heard Li Huayuan say from the side, ”Actually, this door is only a teleportation circle. The real training ground is behind the colorful circle of light, you should cultivate inside the precious training ground. I hope that when you come out, your strength will increase by another level.”
Li Chen nodded his head and jumped up onto the stone platform, jumping inside the door.
The moment he entered the portal, Li Chen felt a strange feeling as if there was a force tightly wrapping around him. It felt like there was an invisible hand slowly protecting him, even pressing his clothes tightly onto his body.
Not long after, Li Chen felt the scenery in front of him brighten up. The sudden brightness made Li Chen feel like he was blinded. He slightly squinted his eyes and felt his feet begin to steady themselves. A large patch of grass appeared in front of him.
Li Chen was a little stunned. He never thought that this cultivation treasure would actually be a special space. However, this space seemed to be filled with spirit energy.
Li Chen closed his eyes and guided the spirit energy into his body.
”Hu!”
Li Chen exhaled lightly. The spiritual energy here was so abundant that he felt that even if he did not cultivate, his spiritual energy would still be saturated. His gaze paused for a moment before he walked towards a bush at the side.
There were probably a lot of people who came here to cultivate, so Li Chen easily found a place that someone else had set up for cultivation.
This was a small wooden house built on a tree. There was nothing in the house other than a bed. Li Chen thought for a moment before sitting down cross-legged on the wooden bed. He closed his eyes and began his cultivation journey.
At this moment, unlike Li Chen's steady cultivation, far to the south of Vast Expanse City, a middle-aged mercenary covered in blood was hastily delivered to an alchemist's store.
On the south side of Vast Expanse City, on the edge of Mitchell Swamp, which everyone feared.
The Mitchell Swamp, the Skypiercing Mountain, and the Black Mil Snow Mountain were known as the Three Great Grounds of Death. This was because not only were there all sorts of terrifying amphibious magical beasts living within the swamps, there were also a group of vicious beastmen living within the depths of the swamps.
Mitchell Swamp was actually where the Beastmen resided. However, on the outskirts of Mitchell Swamp, there was a seemingly impregnable Vast Expanse City, and Beastmen normally wouldn't come out so easily. Thus, a large number of mercenaries had come to this terrifying place for the sake of the various magical beast cores and herbs.
