my world double door.

"There are only three months left until the end of the year. We must not slack off in our practice during this time. The head of the family said that the first place will be rewarded with a bottle of [Guixue Pills] to help with practice, the second place will be rewarded with three pills of [Bone Strengthening Pills], the third place will be rewarded with ten packets of [Muscle Strengthening Powder], and the fourth to tenth place will each receive ten servings of [Health-Promoting Soup]. There will be no rewards for those after the tenth place."

Outside the gate, the family's sturdy old servant looked at Li Yang and warned him, "Practicing is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if there are still three months left, you can't carry on. You must practice hard. However, you must practice according to your ability and not overdo it. Otherwise, it will do more harm than good and damage your foundation."

"Got it, thank you Uncle Li!"

Li Yang looked at the old man, respectfully took the things in his hand, and thanked him with a smile.

As a large local family, the Li family naturally had many slaves.

Many unwanted abandoned babies, orphans, and homeless refugees in the city will be taken in by the Li family and serve as slaves. Those with good appearance and loyal work will be given the surname Li. The old man in front of him was taken in by the Li family since he was a child and could almost be regarded as a family slave.

"Well, you are already sixteen years old and your muscles and bones are strong. If necessary, you can go to the back mountain to practice."

The old man looked at him, smiled and nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

He has married, had children and grandchildren in the Li family, and all of his children and grandchildren have received normal treatment as members of the Li family. Although he is a family slave, his sons and grandsons are not, so they naturally work loyally for the Li family.

What's more, he was an orphan when he was young, and he was able to survive only because the Li family raised him, so naturally he had no other thoughts.

The Li family saved his life, and he worked as a servant in the Li family all his life in exchange for his children and grandchildren to enjoy the life. It was totally worth it.

When talking about the back mountain, the old man became very serious.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for reminding me. I know."

Seeing the look on the old man's face, Li Yang couldn't help but smile and speak.

It is understandable that the other party treats the back mountain in this way.

The back mountain of the Li family is a treasure land. Only members of the Li family are allowed to enter, and there are various strict requirements. The other party was naturally serious when he mentioned it.

"Well, let's practice hard."

Mrs. Li nodded, patted Li Yang on the shoulder, turned around and left with a smile, pushing a cart full of food at the door, and went to deliver food to other orphans in the Li family.

Yes, he was delivering food to the orphans in the Li family.

Obviously, Li Yang is an orphan...

Of course, his orphan was different from the old servant’s orphan. He was the son of the Li family’s descendants and was born a member of the Li family.

However, his father died in a fight and his mother was bullied to death by a young evildoer, leaving him the only one alive in the world, being raised and cared for at home by his elders.

There are more than one orphan like him in the Li family. All expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation before the age of eighteen are borne by the family. Even the cultivation methods and resources will be arranged for cultivation. Such supplies are only until the age of eighteen. If the cultivation is not up to standard at the age of eighteen, it means that one of the aptitude and perseverance is not up to standard, and he will have to work in some of the family's industries.

There is no way for me to practice fully as I do now and enjoy the treatment of a core member of the family.

"If I remember correctly, the standard requirement for the Li family's adult assessment is to punch 1,600 kilograms."

Li Yang pondered in his heart, felt the power in his body, and shook his head.

With the qualifications of his reincarnated body, if he continues at the same speed and progress as before, by the time he is eighteen years old, he will probably just reach this standard.

And this 1,600 kilograms is just the minimum standard.

When taking the test at the age of eighteen, the stronger the power displayed and the better the talent, the more benefits one will receive. There will be various rewards, just like the rewards for the initial test at the end of the year.

After passing the test, one's status will be higher and the family investment resources obtained will be greater. On the contrary, if one just barely passes the test, he or she will be destined to become an ordinary person among the general public.

“If you want to go out, the first step is to get good results in these two tests.”

Li Yang thought to himself that his goal in coming to this world was to collect more supernatural powers. What was the point if he was just trapped in a city?

"Guixue Pills, Bone Strengthening Pills, Tendon Strengthening Powder, Health Preserving Soup..."

Li Yang thought back to the rewards for the initial test at the end of the year, and his heart was secretly moved.

Since this world has extraordinary powers, there are naturally elixirs that are beneficial to cultivation. These four types are the elixirs that the Li family can provide.

Among them, Guixue Pills are the most simple pill for [Blood Warriors]. It can directly increase a person's qi and blood, and can enhance strength after refining it.

However, [Bone Strengthening Pill] only works on bones and can strengthen human bones.

As the name suggests, Duanjinsan only works on the tendons of the human body, making them tougher and stronger.

Health-preserving soups are even less effective; they simply provide the body with more adequate nutrition and have no magical effects.

However, Qi and blood are closely linked to physical fitness. Exercise that strengthens the muscles and bones can indirectly increase the strength of Qi and blood, so the top three rewards are actually good pills.

Of course, the reward for the first place is better, because the way that [Guixue Pills] improves qi and blood is to improve overall strength, and even the tendons, bones, internal organs, and skin and flesh are all enhanced!
On the road of martial arts, one must be one step ahead at every step. If you can get this reward, it would be a benefit.

"I'm really a bit constrained at home. After I have a good rest, I'll go to the back mountain to have a look." Li Yang looked at the meals for tomorrow provided by the family in his hand and smiled. He first put the things in the kitchen, and then did not rush to expend his energy to deduce the exercises, but returned home to rest.

After waking up from a sleep and all his fatigue was gone, he got up, walked out of the house and went to the back mountain while thinking.

………………

………………

The back mountain is, to some extent, regarded as a forbidden area for the family. No one except the Li family is allowed to approach it, so it is naturally extraordinary.

Not to mention anything else, the vitality of the plants here is more vigorous than anywhere else.

When you step into the back mountain, the first thing you feel is the fresh air, which seems to be a precious gift from nature. The breeze blows gently, bringing the breath of the mountains and forests, making people feel relaxed and happy. The sky here is particularly blue, and the white clouds are like silk, floating leisurely in the sky, adding a sense of tranquility and peace to the back mountain.

Walking along the winding path, the ground under my feet is firm and elastic. On both sides of the path, there is green grass, like a soft green carpet covering the ground. The grass is extremely lush, and the slender leaves sway gently in the breeze, full of vitality and vigor. Occasionally, a few unknown small flowers bloom quietly in the grass. They are of different colors, some elegant, some bright, adding a touch of gorgeous color to this green world.

Going deeper into the back mountain, the trees gradually become dense. There are many kinds of trees here, including tall and straight pine trees, whose branches are straight and stretching to the sky, as if showing their tenacity and indomitable spirit to nature. The pine needles grow densely on the branches, showing a deep green, giving people a sense of calmness. There are also lush cypress trees, whose crowns are like huge green umbrellas, blocking the sun for people. The bark of the cypress is rough and thick, covered with traces of time, as if telling the long history of the back mountain. In addition to pine and cypress trees, there are many other tree species on the back mountain, such as maple, poplar, locust, etc. Each tree has its own unique shape and characteristics, which together constitute the colorful forest landscape of the back mountain.

In this forest, birds are the most active creatures. They sing happily on the branches, with clear and melodious voices, as if they are playing a wonderful concert. Some birds have bright and eye-catching feathers, such as colorful parrots; some birds are small and exquisite, such as lively and lovely sparrows; and some birds sing melodiously, such as elegant thrushes. They fly around in the woods, looking for food and playing, adding a lot of vitality to the back mountain.

In addition to birds, there are many other small animals on the back hill. In the grass, you can see agile hares running fast, their ears erect, vigilantly observing the movements around them. There are also cute squirrels, they jump and play between branches, their furry tails swinging behind them, very playful. Occasionally, you can see hedgehogs crawling slowly on the ground. The spikes on their bodies are daunting, but it is these spikes that protect them from enemies. These small animals live freely in this mountain forest, coexisting harmoniously with nature.

The stream on the back mountain is also a beautiful landscape. The crystal clear stream flows slowly down from the mountain, making a gurgling sound. The stream sparkles under the sunlight, as if countless dazzling diamonds are dancing in the water. Various aquatic plants grow by the stream, including tender green water grass, delicate lotus, and elegant calamus. These aquatic plants add a touch of softness and agility to the stream. In the stream, you can also see fish swimming happily, sometimes shuttling between the water grass, and sometimes jumping out of the water, as if they are having an intimate interaction with nature.

Following the stream up, we came to the high point of the back mountain. The mountains here are more precipitous, with peaks rising abruptly and reaching the sky. The surface of the peaks is covered with a thin layer of vegetation, and hard rocks are exposed in some places. These rocks have different shapes, some are like huge screens, some are like sharp swords, and some are like mighty lions. Under the erosion of the years, they have formed a unique landform landscape, which makes people sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

The mountain behind the family is not only a beautiful natural scenery, but also an ecosystem full of vitality and vigor.

The reason why it is called a forbidden area and outsiders are not allowed to enter is because it contains the family’s most important resource of precious medicine: Yaoshan.

There are three kinds of precious medicine planted on Yaoshan Mountain:

Blood Jade Vine
The Blood Jade Vine is a rare spiritual plant that grows in the mountains. The plant is crystal clear and shines red like blood jade. Its leaves are as sharp as swords and motionless, and its roots are intertwined and spread for several feet.

effect
The heart meridian settles down, and the blood and qi in the body return to their normal state. Eating blood jade vine can strengthen qi and blood, improve the balance of yin and yang in the body, and effectively solve various diseases caused by poor blood circulation in the body. Long-term use can prolong life and prevent danger.

Jade dew grass

Jade Dew Grass grows on the top of a high mountain surrounded by clouds and mist. Its leaves are like crystal clear jade, emitting a faint fragrance. The plant is mysterious and is covered by clouds and mist all year round. Only the scorching sun can reveal its true face.

effect
Jade dew grass has the effect of purifying blood and strengthening qi and blood in the body. After consumption, it can help the body detoxify, enhance immunity, improve qi and blood circulation, make people radiant and energetic. Regular consumption can not only enhance physical fitness, but also eliminate the cold in the body and prevent colds.

Long-term use can prolong life and prevent danger.

It is precisely because of these three precious medicines that are beneficial to qi and blood that the Li family can refine and produce various elixirs and reward them to the family.

If Li Yang fails the adult assessment, he will most likely be assigned to the medicine mountain to manage precious medicines.

Of course, this is not a paradise without danger. In addition to small animals, there are some relatively dangerous ones.

"Wow!"

Under the vast sky, an eagle spread its broad and powerful wings and flew from afar. Its posture was vigorous and majestic, as if it was the overlord of the sky.

The eagle's wings are broad and tough, and every flap brings up a strong airflow. Its feathers shine like metal in the sunlight, and the edges of its dark brown wings are sharp. Its head is small and delicate, and its sharp eyes are like two shining gems, vigilantly scanning the ground below.

It soars high in the sky, accompanied by the blue sky and white clouds. The wind whistles past it, but it cannot affect its flying posture at all. Sometimes it glides smoothly, with its wings slightly tilted, using the power of the airflow to easily propel forward; sometimes it flaps its wings vigorously, accelerating instantly, and streaking across the sky like a flash of lightning.

As it approached, Li Yang, who was walking in the mountains, could clearly see its sharp claws curled up tightly, as if ready to attack at any time. Its tail was slender and flexible, constantly adjusting its direction during flight to maintain its body balance.

"Huh, such a majestic eagle actually lives in the back mountain. No wonder it is allowed to enter the back mountain only after its muscles and bones are strong."

Li Yang looked at the giant eagle flying by, and sighed in his heart. Then he thought about it and came to a deserted secluded valley. He sat cross-legged among the rocks and took a deep breath of the spiritual power in the valley.

Not long after, a warrior training method based on the [Blood Strengthening Technique] emerged from Li Yang's mind.

"With my background and the [Strengthening Blood Technique] of this world as my foundation, it won't be difficult to create a corresponding technique."

Li Yang was satisfied, in this world [Blood Warrior] was the foundation of all warriors, because every extraordinary person would cultivate Qi and blood to strengthen the body, it would be a waste if they did not practice. Therefore, the blood warrior's skills could also be integrated with the cultivation methods of various warriors.

The skills that Li Yang created based on this can ensure that they will not deviate too far from the true practice methods of this world.

"In fact, different paths of practice can coexist. I can try to practice together." (End of this chapter)
