chapter 1 Qianlong

Black Abyss City, the Almond Family.

Dozens of boys and girls belonging to the Almond Family, all holding a small porcelain bottle, filed out of the resource hall in two or three people.

"Alas, the training resources distributed by the family have been reduced again. This time there are only three body tempering pills. This is really..." Standing in the open space in front of the resource hall, a young man in the crowd couldn't help but sigh and complain.

"Be content. Our the Almond Family is no better than before. It would be good to have three body tempering pills." Another young man heard this and comforted with a wry smile.

"If training resources continue to be reduced like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through the fourth level of body tempering in this life."

"Then the Ferber Family and the Winters Family are really going too far!"

…

Although the complaints in the open space have been suppressed, they still keep coming one after another. In fact, the continuous reduction of training resources in the past two years has greatly slowed down everyone's training progress.

You know, the Almond Family is one of the three most prosperous families in Black Abyss City, and as children of the Almond Family, when did they fall into the embarrassing situation of having to worry about training resources?

"despair!"

While everyone was complaining to each other, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the resource hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Walking out of the hall was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in black and had a thin figure. His delicate face was as pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, giving people a feeling of being weak and weak due to lack of energy and blood.

After seeing the young man walking out of the resource hall, after a brief silence in the open space, there was an undisguised sneer of disdain.

"Hey, isn't this our former the Almond Family talent, a young genius? I didn't expect you haven't given up training yet?"

As a boy with a round face and small eyes screamed, the boys in the open space couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Some pretty girls with good looks rolled their eyes and turned their heads in disdain, as if one more look at the boy would stain their eyes.

"I'm talking about Farrell Almond, I've never seen you so thick-skinned before. You're obviously a waste that can't practice. You've continued to come to collect the family's cultivation resources for so many years. It's a waste of resources."

"Haha, who can say otherwise? Giving him the Body Tempering Pill is really not as good as feeding it to a dog. Maybe after eating the Body Tempering Pill for so many years, the dog will be able to surpass his second level of Body Tempering."

"Hmph, if his grandfather hadn't stepped down from the position of clan leader, a loser like him would have been kicked out of the family long ago!"

…

Farrell Almond looked at the disdain on the faces of his fellow tribesmen in front of him, as well as the harsh taunts like sharp swords, which made his mouth feel slightly bitter and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

He still remembered that four years ago, when he was only thirteen years old and had just broken through to the sixth level of Tempering Body and became famous throughout Black Abyss City, the faces of the tribesmen in front of him were full of flattery and praise, and they were closer than their own fathers.

But also when he was thirteen years old, due to some reasons in his body, his realm was not advancing but retreating.

In just half a year, he fell from the sixth level of Body Tempering to the second level of Body Tempering. No matter how hard he tried, he still had no progress in his realm. Even his grandfather, the clan leader, was unable to do anything about his cultivation.

It was precisely because of this that the tribesmen in front of him who used to flatter and fawn over him changed their previous warmth and treated him like enemies.

Farrell Almond has really experienced the viciousness and coldness of human nature in the past four years.

"Do you think I will stay on the second floor of Tempered Body forever? It's almost over..." He murmured in his heart, and an imperceptible hint of amusement appeared on Farrell Almond's delicate and pale face.

He could fully imagine what the faces of the people in front of him would look like after he solved the strangeness in his body and was able to practice again.

It must be interesting and boring.

Thinking of this, Farrell Almond didn't bother to waste time here. He took off the black bag from his waist and put the porcelain bottle in his hand into it.

"Storage bags!"

The moment they saw the bag in Farrell Almond hand, everyone in the open space began to breathe heavily. Their mouths were dry and their eyes were filled with salivation that could not be concealed.

The storage bag is a space-type spiritual weapon. It has a small space inside it for monks to store various items. It is so precious that only the clan leader and three elders of the entire the Almond Family have it.

As for Farrell Almond, this was a reward from his clan when he broke through the sixth level of body tempering when he was thirteen years old, and his talent shocked the entire Black Abyss City.

"Damn it, why didn't the clan take back this useless storage bag?"

"How can this loser be qualified to own a spiritual weapon like a storage bag now? The training resources in his storage bag should all be handed over, and he should not be allowed to continue to waste them!"

…

If Farrell Almond was still the genius of the Almond Family, no one would dare to say anything.

But now, he is just a waste on the second level of Tempering Body, but he still has such a precious spiritual weapon as a storage bag, which makes everyone in the room full of jealousy.

Seeing the gnashing of teeth of everyone present, Farrell Almond couldn't help but frown. He really overestimated the lower limit of this group of people.

"You all want a storage bag? Come and try it?"Farrell Almond sneered in his heart, weighed the black pouch in his hand, and glanced at everyone indifferently.

In the past four years, although no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through to the second level of body tempering, Farrell Almond never gave up on tempering his body, and the effort he put in was even five times or ten times that of the past.

It was precisely these years of crazy hard training that gave Farrell Almond the confidence that he would not suffer a loss even if he faced cultivators at the third level of body tempering.

Even if he faced the fourth level of tempered body, he could bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh.

The tiger has fallen to Pingyang, but it is still a tiger.

If cats and dogs think they can bully them at will, they must pay the price.

"Why are you all gathering around and arguing!"

Just when the swords were at war and someone was eager to try, a cold and melodious voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd parted like a tide, and a tall, outstanding-looking girl came straight to the venue.

The girl was dressed in a yellow dress, with curvaceous figures. Although her delicate face was still a little childish, the charm in her bright eyes had fascinated all the young people present, and her eyes showed unconcealable passionate admiration.

After the girl in the yellow dress arrived, the pretty clan girls in the room all hummed softly, with deep jealousy in their eyes.

Obviously, compared with the girl in the yellow dress in front of her, they all pale in comparison.

As for Farrell Almond, after the girl arrived, the indifference in his eyes turned into a smile, and he was looking at her with interest.

"Ye...Sister Ye Ying, we have just received the training resources and are about to leave."

After a brief silence, a young man at the front spoke submissively.

When the others heard this, they nodded in agreement, completely losing their previous fierce look.

After all, the girl in the yellow dress named Ilithyia Almond in front of her was not only outstanding in appearance, but her strength had reached the fifth level of Body Tempering, surpassing everyone present.

However, although they were in awe of Ilithyia Almond, everyone's glances at Farrell Almond were still full of contempt. In their view, a guy who needs the protection of a girl to get ahead is simply a waste among wastes.

What's more, the girl who protects this good-for-nothing is the brightest pearl of their the Almond Family.

"After receiving the body tempering pill, hurry back and practice. Don't crowd around here. If I know that any of you dare to embarrass brother Farrell Almond..." The girl snorted coldly, and her bright eyes swept over everyone coldly.

Although she didn't finish her words, the threat contained in them was self-evident.

Moreover, everyone in the room also knew that the girl in front of them had an irreconcilable relationship with Farrell Almond. They immediately looked away without even daring to look at Ye Hao. After giving Farrell Almond an extremely jealous look, they dispersed.

In the blink of an eye, only Farrell Almond and the girl were left in the open space.

"Tsk, tsk, little Ying'er is really getting more and more domineering."Farrell Almond couldn't help but joked as he looked at the girl who dismissed everyone with just a few words.

When the girl heard this, a blush appeared on her delicate face, and she said angrily: "Brother Farrell Almond, you are laughing at me again!"

If the other children the Almond Family saw the girl's shy look, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

You must know that Ilithyia Almond is the goddess among the younger generation of the Almond Family. She usually looks cold to everyone. I am afraid that she will only show this little daughter's attitude in front of Farrell Almond.

"Brother Farrell Almond, teach me how to practice again today." After pretending to blame Farrell Almond for a few words, Ilithyia Almond eyes flashed and she looked at Farrell Almond with a smile.

Farrell Almond smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Ying'er, you have now reached the fifth level of body tempering. I'm afraid it won't take long to break through to the sixth level of body tempering. I have nothing else to teach you."

"Hehe, brother Farrell Almond was a genius who was famous throughout Black Abyss City back then. I was able to break through the fifth level of body tempering so quickly only because of your guidance. Don't hide your secrets!"Ilithyia Almond hugged Farrell Almond. Arms, soft and charming smile.

In the end, Farrell Almond still couldn't win over the girl. After nodding his head helplessly, he turned to smile mysteriously and said: "Just in time, I also have good news to tell you."

The two of them talked and laughed like this, slowly left the Almond Family, left Black Abyss City, and headed towards the surrounding mountain peak where they used to practice.

On the mountain road, Farrell Almond was in a rare relaxed mood.

Firstly, it was because the girl next to him was the only one in the Almond Family, except for his grandfather and Onelia, who did not add insult to injury and was willing to get close to him after he was unable to practice.

Farrell Almond has already doted on her like a younger sister.

As for the second one, Farrell Almond had been trying hard for four years, so that he finally had the confidence to put it into his own body, which caused him to be unable to practice in these years, and the troubles that caused him to retreat instead of advance.

This matter is the biggest secret in his heart now, and he has not told even his grandfather and Ilithyia Almond beside him.

Farrell Almond wanted to give the two of them a big surprise after he was able to practice again.

Thinking of this, a hint of pride appeared on the young man's handsome face.

After four years of silence, Qianlong will finally come out of the abyss. After he can practice again, he will want to see who dares to be as sarcastic as he is today.

"Brother Farrell Almond, you haven't said any good news yet!" After reaching the top of the peak, Ilithyia Almond looked at the silent young man and asked with a smile.

Farrell Almond came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better not to say it yet, you will know when the time comes."

"It's mysterious."Ilithyia Almond chuckled, then turned her beautiful eyes and asked, "By the way, the family is distributing body tempering pills today. Brother Farrell Almond, did you take it?"

Farrell Almond nodded, walked a few steps towards the edge of the peak, looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and said with a smile: "Little Ying'er, don't you know that although I have been unable to practice for the past four years, my family's monthly practice resources , I’ve saved them all.”

Just as Farrell Almond finished speaking, a cold laughter suddenly came from a dense forest behind the peak: "This is the best, then I would like to thank you first for storing the four years of practice resources for me."

The moment the words rang out, Farrell Almond was startled and turned around suddenly. He saw a young man with a sinister expression slowly stepping forward in the dense forest behind him, standing side by side with Ilithyia Almond with a sneer.
