Xiao Ling calmed his restless heart, walked to the gate of the courtyard quietly, then somersaulted, landed lightly on the ground, and walked slowly towards the small house in the center of the courtyard.

Ling Ying in the Xiao family's treasure house suddenly felt an itch in his nose, sneezed, scratched his head, and thought to himself: "I have been practicing for many years, and I have forgotten when I sneezed last time."

Chapter 3: Nourishing the tendons and veins

Walking to the door of Xiao Xun'er's room, Xiao Ling gently pushed the door open. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly walked to the bedside. Looking at Xiao Xun'er's lovely face in the bright moonlight, it was a little paler than the rosy face in the morning, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she was suffering from some kind of torture.

Xiao Ling could roughly guess that perhaps it was because the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame was sealed directly in a young child's body, and his body was not yet able to adapt. He was not carefully examined in the ancient clan, and was hurriedly brought to the Xiao family. It was indeed quite hard. When his body is fully developed in the future, this situation will surely be alleviated.

Walking slowly to the bedside, Xiao Ling saw that Xiao Xun'er's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Without time to think, he immediately put his hand on Xiao Xun'er's wrist and began to nourish her tendons and veins.

After injecting a bit of Dou Qi, he felt a little warmth in his body passing through his fingers into Xiao Xun'er's body. Xiao Xun'er, who was tense at first, gradually relaxed and her frowning brows relaxed.

Taking a close look at Xiao Xun'er's current condition, I saw that her breathing was steady, like a sleeping beauty, and her slightly immature face already showed the outline of a beauty.

A few minutes later, Xiao Ling was pale and sweating profusely. The fighting spirit in his body was so thin that it was almost gone. He sighed in his heart: "After all, the fighting spirit was too weak. It was exhausted in the blink of an eye." He took away the hand that was on Xiao Xun'er's wrist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh. Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was sleeping soundly, he quietly got up and left, opened the door lightly and closed it gently, flipped out of the yard, and returned to his cabin in a flash.

However, Xiao Ling didn't know that just as he stepped out of the room, Xiao Xun'er had already opened her eyes and was staring in the direction where Xiao Ling left, with a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

In the cabin, Xiao Ling was lying on the bed, still feeling frightened.

Just because when he came out of Xiao Xun'er's room, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Xiao Ling was born with extremely strong soul power and was particularly sensitive to sight.

"Did Ling Ying return to the yard? Or did he never leave?"

"After all, Xiao Xun'er's safety should be more important than the fragments of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Perhaps he has always been guarding Xiao Xun'er."

Stroking his chin, Xiao Ling thought to himself.

"But today's affairs went smoothly. I hope everything will go smoothly tomorrow."

"Oh, it's really puzzling."

Feeling the fatigue coming from his body, Xiao Ling stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, after Xiao Ling got up, he tidied the room, washed up, opened the door and walked out, ready to have breakfast.

While walking on the way to the cafeteria, he noticed someone staring at him from behind. When he turned around, it was Xiao Xun'er, who was staring at him with a complicated look. Xiao Ling suddenly felt uneasy and ran into the cafeteria.

After breakfast, Xiao Ling walked out of the cafeteria and headed towards the cabin, intending to start a new day of practice.

He returned to the cabin, sat on the bed, formed a practice hand seal, and began to meditate and practice fighting spirit.

The moon is dim and the stars are sparse, and night falls.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, the Xiao family fell into tranquility.

In the Xiao family's courtyard, a dark shadow nimbly shuttled through it, and in a moment it arrived outside Xiao Yan's courtyard. Xiao Ling peeked into the house, only to see Xiao Yan already fast asleep on the bed.

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that after what happened yesterday, Xiao Yan has given up the idea of ​​testing his fighting spirit." So he turned and left, running towards Xiao Xun'er's yard.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time, Xiao Ling arrived at Xiao Xun'er's house very easily.

After making sure that Xiao Xun'er was fast asleep in the house, he walked in and mobilized the fighting spirit in his body to nourish Xiao Xun'er's tendons and veins.

Only after all the fighting spirit in his body was exhausted did Xiao Ling turn around and leave. He returned to his wooden house and fell asleep.

Time flies, and four years have passed by in a flash.

In a courtyard at the backyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Ling made a hand seal to end his practice, woke up from his practice, slowly exhaled a long breath, and with a thought, called the system panel.

"System, open my personal panel."

"Ding, the host's personal panel is automatically opening."

Host: Xiao Ling

Sex: Male

Cultivation: Fighting Qi Level 9

Age: 8 years old

Skills: None

Fighting skills: Claw Strike (Yellow Rank Intermediate), Mountain Splitting Palm (Yellow Rank Intermediate), Stone Crushing Palm (Yellow Rank Intermediate)

Item: Twenty-four Bridges Moonlit Night Gathering Qi Powder

Number of draws: 8

Getting up from the training mat and brushing off the dust on his body, Xiao Ling opened the door, walked to the pavilion in the courtyard, sat down to rest, and recalled his experiences over the past four years.

Since he had no intention of hiding his talent in cultivation from the beginning, Xiao Ling has participated in every year's fighting spirit test since he began his practice.

I still remember the scene of the family's junior test when I was five years old. Before the test on the magic stone tablet, other family juniors were all at the first stage of fighting spirit, and some even had not yet cultivated fighting spirit. Even Xiao Yan, who was hailed as the first genius of the Xiao family at that time, was only at the second stage of fighting spirit. When it was his turn to walk towards the magic stone tablet, the test result was actually the third stage of fighting spirit, which made Xiao Yan, who had just stepped down, stunned on the spot, and even the middle-aged elder in charge of the test was speechless with surprise.

At first, I thought the test magic stone tablet was damaged. I tested it three times in succession, and the results were all the third level of fighting spirit, proving that there was nothing abnormal with the test magic stone tablet.

The younger generations of the family around them all doubted their lives and dropped their jaws in shock. The family elders all took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This kid is so terrifying.

Xiao Ling was actually somewhat delighted in his heart. After all, reaching the third stage of fighting spirit at the age of five was unheard of in the Jiama Empire, let alone in the small city of Wutan. With such a speed of cultivation, he would definitely become a fighter before the age of ten. Just imagine, a fighter under the age of ten would have unlimited achievements in the future, and the family might be able to rise again through this.

Xiao Yan had just secured the position of the Xiao family's number one genius, but the position was taken over by someone else in just one year. Xiao Ling was increasingly valued in the family, and his treatment became increasingly generous. Even his accommodation was changed from a small wooden house to an independent courtyard, and there were two maids to take care of his daily life.

After Xiao Ling's extraordinary talent was recognized by the family, the benefits were obvious, and the number of people flattering him increased day by day. However, Xiao Ling did not become arrogant and overbearing because of this. He was still gentle to others and often guided his peers who came to ask for advice. Although this kind of talent can be called outstanding in the small Wutan City, it is simply not worth mentioning in front of those ancient races, special physiques, and divine bloodlines. It can only be compared with some geniuses in Zhongzhou. There are even several people in the Jiama Empire who are more talented than him.

Since the throne of the family's first genius was taken away by Xiao Ling, and Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ling's relationship became closer, Xiao Yan was unwilling to give up and often came to Xiao Ling to compete. Although every time he competed with Xiao Ling, he basically ended up losing, which made Xiao Yan vent his anger in the competition with the younger generation of the family, especially the one named Xiao Ning, who was often beaten. Xiao Yan's personality became more and more domineering, but in view of his outstanding talent, Xiao Ling would not take the initiative to compete with him, and he also had a father who was the patriarch of the family, and no one dared to criticize him in front of him.

Xiao Ling saw all of this and could only say that it was inevitable that Xiao Yan would be ridiculed during his low period. If Xiao Yan had not been so high-profile, perhaps the people in the family would not only think about laughing at him, but would feel more sorry for him.

Chapter 4 Shopping

Feeling a little hungry, Xiao Ling planned to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast. Recalling that Xiao Xun'er mentioned yesterday that they were going to go shopping together today, a smile appeared on his face.

Since the first time he went to Xiao Xun'er's room to nourish her tendons and veins, he went there almost every night before Xiao Ling was seven years old. Although the effect may not be significant, Xiao Xun'er truly sensed his perseverance, which made their relationship increasingly close. They often traveled together in the family and had a great time talking to each other.

He walked out of the yard and headed towards the intersection where he had agreed to meet Xiao Xun'er. As expected, he saw a pretty girl standing gracefully at the intersection waiting for him.

She was dressed in a purple dress, with a cool and refined temperament, like a lotus in the secular world. Her slender waist was like a willow leaf, just enough to be held in one hand. Her long black hair was casually tied up with a piece of light purple satin ribbon, and it fell softly along the beautiful curves to her waist. Two small green bells hung on her white wrists, just like a fairy in a painting. Her slightly immature face, every frown and smile could touch the hearts of young people.

Seeing Xiao Ling coming over here, Xiao Xun'er blinked her bright eyes and greeted him with a beautiful smile, "Brother Xiao Ling, have you finished your training? Your aura has become much stronger. You are worthy of being the first genius of the Xiao family."

Gently scratching the tip of Xiao Xun'er's nose, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "Girl, you are teasing me again."

As a time traveler, Xiao Ling knew that Xiao Xun'er was the most perfect divine bloodline of the ancient clan in the past thousand years, and her talent was astonishingly high. Although he didn't know how much she had cultivated before her bloodline was opened, if she practiced seriously, she would definitely be far better than herself now.

The two of them talked and laughed as they entered the dining hall together. The tribesmen around them cast envious glances at them. Seeing the intimacy between Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er, no one felt jealous.

"Cousin Xiao Ling and Cousin Xun Er are truly a match made in heaven!"

"That's right, they have been childhood sweethearts, and both are talented and beautiful, and their cultivation talents are even better than each other!"

“I’m really envious.”

Hearing the discussions of the tribesmen around her, Xiao Xun'er glanced at Xiao Ling's profile, her pretty face flushed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Ling just smiled slightly. Right now, their relationship has not yet revealed their feelings. They are still more than friends but less than lovers.

As they were eating at the dining table and talking, Xiao Xun'er suddenly asked, "Where do you plan to practice, Brother Xiao Ling? Do you want to go to Yunlan Sect?"

Xiao Ling stroked his chin and thought for a moment before answering, "I will probably go to Canaan College and register after I break through to the Fighter level. The annual enrollment at Canaan College will begin soon."

Although Xiao Ling has outstanding talent, if he goes to Yun Lan Sect, he may be accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun. However, Xiao Ling knows that Yun Lan Sect is in collusion with Soul Palace, and he does not know whether Yun Shan has broken through to Dou Zong. In order to avoid his talent from attracting too much attention, Xiao Ling also specifically mentioned it to the elders of the family, asking them not to spread his talent to others.

Moreover, the quality of the geniuses in Canaan College is definitely higher than that of Yunlan Sect. There are also many students from Zhongzhou in the inner courtyard, and some useful information can be found. In terms of foundation, Yunlan Sect is not even one-tenth of Canaan College. In the original novel, Yunshan has never been seen using earth-level fighting skills, and his strongest fighting skill is only the advanced Xuan-level Wind Extreme Killing. The Life and Death Gate of Yunlan Sect cannot be compared with the Tianfen Qi Training Tower of Canaan College.

Perhaps becoming Yun Yun's disciple would allow him to enjoy more resources than ordinary students, but with his own talent, Xiao Ling firmly believed that he would be valued by the top management of the academy and could also establish a good relationship with the little female dragon. Why not do it?

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these matters, the two began to eat. Amidst laughter and chatter, they had breakfast, left the Xiao family together, and headed towards the market town.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er walked side by side on the wide road and looked around. Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"The Douqi Continent is indeed a fantasy land. Just looking at the aura of a small city like Wutan, it is more prosperous than some big cities."

Xiao Xun'er looked at the young man beside her, a little absent-minded. She still remembered when she first came to the Xiao family, every night, because of the backlash of the strange fire, her tendons and veins were swollen and painful, and she felt unwell. The young man would secretly come to her and use his fighting spirit to nourish her tendons and veins. Every time, she was sweating profusely. That scene seemed to have happened just last night.

Looking at the young man now, the young boy who was just a naive child has grown up a lot. Not only is he half a head taller than her, but his appearance has also become more outstanding.

The fair face is slightly angular, and the tender features and delicate facial features make people look sideways.

"Xun'er, why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Xiao Ling, you are getting more handsome." Halfway through her words, Xun'er covered her mouth, turned her face away, and hurriedly explained: "Nothing, you heard it wrong."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled, gently touched Xiao Xun'er's head, and said, "Xun'er has become more and more beautiful. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Feeling Xiao Ling's warm palm caressing her head, Xiao Xun'er did not dodge, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

After Xiao Ling withdrew his hand, Xiao Xun'er tucked her hair behind her ears, walked in front of Xiao Ling, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, showed a charming smile, and said: "Brother Xiao Ling is so annoying, Xun'er's hair is messed up!" Before Xiao Ling could react, she ran towards the market.

This smile startled Xiao Ling, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt his breathing slow down. He put his hand on his left chest, feeling his heartbeat speed up instantly, and sighed: "Is this the feeling of love?" Looking at Xiao Xun'er running away, Xiao Ling took a step and chased after her.

After entering the market, the two began to stroll leisurely, and Xiao Ling also spread his soul power to explore, especially some old tiles. If I remember correctly, the cool skill in the original book - the low-level Xuan-level fighting skill, the palm suction, was obtained by picking up leaks at the market stalls.

Unable to find the source of the suction force for the time being, Xiao Ling glanced at Xiao Xun'er and discovered that her eyes often wandered between the jewelry shops with a look of great interest.

Stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Xiao Ling had an idea in mind, so he took Xiao Xun'er to the door of a shop, because the bracelet that Xiao Xun'er paid the most attention to just now was placed in this shop.

Xiao Ling pointed at the bracelet and asked, "Boss, how much does this bracelet cost?"

The merchant saw a customer coming and took a look at Xiao Ling and the other person. Seeing that they had extraordinary temperaments, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, are you buying a bracelet for your girlfriend? This bracelet is very suitable for your girlfriend, and the price is also quite affordable, only 200 gold coins."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's expression did not change, but Xiao Xun'er's face turned slightly red. Seeing that the bracelet Xiao Ling chose for her was the one she had been eyeing before, she looked at Xiao Ling with more tenderness.

He quickly took out two hundred gold coins from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night and handed them to the merchant. Although this price might be high for an ordinary child, it was a piece of cake for Xiao Ling, who inherited Yu Xiaogang's assets.

After taking the bracelet, he looked at Xiao Xun'er. Seeing that she was also staring at his eyes, Xiao Ling said, "Sister Xun'er, this bracelet suits you very well. Let me put it on for you."

Xiao Xun'er tilted her head slightly to one side, feeling her cheeks getting hot, and stretched out her left hand in front of Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling put the bracelet on Xiao Xun'er's hand without hesitation.

After looking at the bracelet, Xiao Xun'er was very satisfied. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Ling."

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was satisfied, Xiao Ling also smiled, and they walked out of the shop. As they walked, they held hands, and the distance between their hearts shortened.

Chapter 5 Black Iron Sheet

Xiao Ling held Xiao Xun'er's hand, and the two of them shuttled between the shops. Not long after, they arrived at the grocery market. Most of the merchants here spread a blanket and placed the items on it. There were all kinds of items, perhaps rare treasures, but most of them were worthless things.

Arriving at the grocery market, Xiao Ling wanted to tease Xiao Xun'er, so he said, "Xun'er, this is a famous place in Wutan City for finding bargains. Why don't you buy something here today and see if you make a profit or a loss."

Xiao Xun'er first lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then opened her left hand, clenched her right fist, and suddenly smashed her right fist against her left hand, looking like she had already thought it through.

Then, he gave Xiao Ling a sly smile and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, just wait and see."

Then he took Xiao Ling's hand and walked to a stall owner, pointed at a wooden box on the stall, and asked, "What's the condition of this wooden box? How much is it?"

The boss was a man in a black robe. Xiao Ling used his soul power to sense him, but felt that his soul power was like a drop in the ocean. He could not detect any fluctuations in his fighting spirit at all. This made Xiao Ling frown slightly and he became secretly alert so that he could evacuate quickly when the time came.

The black-robed man said, "Only one of these three wooden boxes contains a hundred gold coins, and each one is sold for fifty gold coins."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up. She paid fifty gold coins, immediately took out a wooden box in the middle, handed it to Xiao Ling, and blinked expectantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling had no choice but to open it. When he saw the one hundred gold coins inside, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's excitement, Xiao Ling sighed in his heart: "Just a joke from me can make her invite Douhuang strongmen to cooperate with the performance. This girl is so considerate, I will never let you down in this life."

He touched Xiao Xun'er's head and said, "Then today I will borrow your luck to find an opportunity." After that, he took Xiao Xun'er's hand and walked deeper into the grocery market.

"Eh? Could this be..."

Xiao Ling's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at a stall in front of him and sensed an unusual soul fluctuation on a piece of black iron. So he took Xiao Xun'er's hand and came to the stall.

The stall in front of me is not very big, and there are more than a dozen items scattered on the stall.

The most valuable ones are the magic cores, which are green in color and should be first-level magic cores.

In the Douqi Continent, magic cores are also called magic energy crystal cores, elixir prototypes, etc.

As the name suggests, this is a kind of energy crystal core in the body of the Warcraft, which is filled with extremely violent energy of heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, only magical beasts can devour magic cores and directly absorb the energy of heaven and earth contained therein.

If humans directly inhale the energy of heaven and earth in the magic core, at best they will go possessed and their meridians will be severed, or at worst they will die instantly.
