The Heavenly Court is gone, I don't want to be a True Lord.

The Lin family is one of the largest aristocratic families in Fushan City, with seven branches that can be considered direct descendants.

Every room was packed with people.

Of course, the Sixth Household was an exception, because due to the changes that occurred back then, the total number of the Sixth Household was only a little over twenty.

The main house is located behind the six-room residence.

Looking at Lin Yuchan sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhang Chunfang sighed. The young lady was not much younger than her, but she already showed signs of aging, while the young lady still looked so youthful and beautiful.

Lin Yuchan looked to be in her early twenties. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, naturally green without any makeup, and her eyes were like autumn waters, clear and deep. Her gaze was radiant, yet calm as an ancient pool, as if she could see into people's hearts.

Her skin was as white as snow, without any vulgarity, and her moon-white brocade robe completely covered her figure.

"Any news about those people lately?"

Hearing Lin Yuchan's words, Zhang Chunfang came to her senses and said, "No."

After hesitating, he spoke again.

"Miss, the Xu family has been gone for fifteen years. Is it really possible they'll come back?"

Lin Yuchan didn't speak, but her already aloof face became even colder.

"From the highest heavens to the deepest hells."

Zhang Chunfang sighed.

Only an old woman like her could understand Lin Yuchan's hatred for the Xu family.

"I'll have Li Gang keep an eye out for this."

The young lady was about to become an inner disciple of the Qinglian Sect, but because of a single word from the Xu family, she was ultimately sent to the palace.

Outsiders all know that the Lin family is related to the imperial family, but they don't know that the young lady didn't even enter the palace gates back then when a shocking incident occurred in the palace. The ministers staged a coup against the late emperor, who abdicated and went into exile. The young lady then returned to Fushan City.

But everything seems to have changed.

With the ascension of the new emperor, Murong Qiong, the city lord of Fushan City, took over. The first thing this city lord, who was known as the number one expert in the Lianghe River region, did after taking office was to eliminate the Xu family's supporters.

Under the influence of the new emperor, the Xu family collapsed, with only remnants fleeing.

Lin Yuchan, determined to destroy the Xu family, relentlessly pursued them.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Chunfang said softly, "Miss, three guards came yesterday. They all seem a bit unusual. Would you like to see them?"

Those with extraordinary life bones are hard to find, and life bones are not born with infinite divine power. Rather, as one becomes stronger, life bones and supernatural powers also become stronger.

However, some people have extraordinary destiny bones. Even if they have not fully awakened their innate supernatural powers, they have already shown extraordinary abilities. Natural super strength and photographic memory are relatively common types.

Lin Yuchan became somewhat interested. "What's so special about it?"

Zhang Chunfang recounted the extraordinary abilities of Zuo Qi and the other two, then paused and added, "We don't know about He Xiao and Ni Heng yet, but Zuo Qi, though of ordinary descent, possesses immense strength."

As someone close to Lin Yuchan, she had some understanding of martial arts. Martial artists held a high status today, but those who truly held high positions were mostly people with extraordinary life-bound abilities.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuchan didn't say whether she wanted to see him or not, but simply nodded.

……

night.

Inside the room of Zuo Qi and the other two.

Ni Heng said excitedly, "Brother Qi, I went to the kennel today and found a great dog, the kind of dog that can be called a treasure."

Treasure beasts are anomalies among animal species, and their meat is very precious. Before, at the dock, Zuo Qi saw someone selling treasure fish. A small fish that was only three feet long was sold for a high price of thirty taels of silver.

Moreover, the treasure fish was clearly meant to be eaten.

But the precious dog that Ni Heng discovered was different. Dogs can recognize their owners, and if they can be tamed, they will be an extremely reliable fighting partner.

"Have we gotten to know each other?"

Ni Heng looked smug. "Of course! Don't you know what I'm capable of, Brother Qi?"

"Take good care of it, and once we've saved enough money, we'll see if we can ask the manager to buy it."

Ni Heng nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Brother Qi, I'll get you and Brother Xiao a good one each."

He Xiao waved his hand immediately, "I don't want to. You know I don't like those furry things."

"What's wrong with that!"

Zuo Qi smiled slightly.

Looking at He Xiao and Ni Heng, I couldn't help but wonder if these two also had life bones.

When he was hanging around in Lanshan Township, Yuncheng, he had many people around him because of his superhuman strength. Many people wanted to become sworn brothers with him, but the two in front of him were the only ones who were truly capable.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"When I entered the city that day, I saw the garrison commander of Fushan City, a giant who was three meters tall!"

"Three meters!?" Ni Heng stared in disbelief. "Really?"

Zuo Qi said softly, "Everyone says he has a life-saving bone and is born with supernatural powers."

"Life bone? What's that?"

Zuo Qi smiled, looked at the two of them, his brow relaxed, and his blood-red vertical pupils slowly opened.

The two men were so startled they jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed). "Brother Qi...you..."

"There were some on the road. I always thought I was a monster, but after meeting that captain, I realized that I was also a born supernatural being with a life bone."

Incidentally, Zuo Qi used the Cave Truth technique directly on the two of them, but using it on others seemed to consume mental energy.

Zuo Qi felt a sudden heaviness in his head.

Life Points: 12

[Spirit/Soul: Unknown]

This is He Xiao's profile panel.

Then he looked at Ni Heng.

Life Points: 9

[Spiritual Essence: 16]

Why can't I see He Xiao's soul data?

Zuo Qi was somewhat surprised and curious.

Soon, he seemed to realize that He Xiao's spirit was probably stronger than his own.

He was increasingly surprised that, despite his two lifetimes, he was still inferior to He Xiao.

By observing his two brothers' panels, he seemed to understand what life and spirit represented.

"Body and life" refers to things like vitality, while "spirit and soul" are probably related to things like the soul or primordial spirit.

Although it is not directly related to combat power, it can still be used as a reference. If you encounter an opponent whose attributes are not visible at all, you are probably not going to be able to defeat them.

Zuo Qi thought to himself.

Most people would run as far away as possible when stared at by the blood-red eyes, but Ni Heng looked excited.

"Brother Qi, you can't leave me and Brother Xiao behind!"

Zuo Qi glanced at Ni Heng speechlessly. "What I was trying to say was, one of you is born with the ability to tame mastiffs, and the other has a photographic memory. Do you two also possess some kind of destiny?"

Ni Heng and He Xiao looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

It seems there aren't any left.

Zuo Qi was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't know why. He didn't even understand his own third eye. Was it brought about by the awakening of his innate wisdom, or was it suddenly awakened because of some special event?

He felt that of the two, Ni Heng dared not say, but He Xiao was probably the one with the life bone, after all, his spiritual attribute was too high, even higher than his own in his two lifetimes.

"Alright, time for bed."

Ni Heng and He Xiao, however, couldn't sleep and kept pestering Zuo Qi to ask about the life bone.

"How would I know? But I have the Heavenly Eye, so I'm sure I can see the mountain demons. It'll definitely save our lives."

He only briefly mentioned Dongzhen's abilities, but not Tianyun's. He only mentioned his life bone, which required the destruction of a demon's lair to be upgraded.

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately showed surprise and delight.

"I knew Brother Qi was going to do something big." Ni Heng was extremely excited.

He Xiao calmed down and looked at Zuo Qi seriously, "Don't worry, Brother Qi, I will fight with all my might when we go to find the demon's lair in the future."

The three chatted and laughed for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, Zuo Qi suddenly felt his body lighten, and a faint burning sensation came from the skin three inches below his armpit, which was the four streams of qi and blood that were bestowed upon him daily.

Zuo Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the settlement is done at midnight every day.

The next day.

Before dawn, the three of them arrived at the training ground.

Zuo Qi has already mastered the basics and is progressing smoothly in his cultivation. He even gave Ni Heng some pointers.

He Xiao has a photographic memory and a powerful spiritual soul, so he had already mastered the basics of cultivation on his first day.

Zuo Qi felt that this guy was likely the type with amazing comprehension found in martial arts novels.

After sending Ni Heng aside to practice his skills, Zuo Qi assumed a fighting stance and began practicing on his own.

To put it simply, martial arts training is a process of continuously accumulating qi and blood, leading to a qualitative change through quantitative change.

Where does qi and blood come from? As Li Gang said, it comes from eating.

After Zuo Qi and He Xiao joined the family, they spent a considerable amount of money on food every day.

Fortunately, there is a place in the village specifically for cooking, and in addition to the three meals provided daily, you can buy food with money.

With the money from selling themselves, the two of them wouldn't lack food for a while.
