chapter 7 the Almond Family event

Looking at the old man walking in the distance, Farrell Almond quickly retracted his fist, scratched his head and said with a smile, "Well, I'm going to come out for some air."

Elgin Almond's burly figure was slightly stooped, and his old face showed the fatigue that could not be concealed. He was holding a box in his hand and staring at Farrell Almond, who looked embarrassed, especially the movements of his hands, his eyes suddenly shrank.

"Farrell, you...are you injured?"

Farrell Almond fell off the cliff. Although he was lucky enough to survive, his injuries were not serious.

According to Elgin Almond estimation, Farrell Almond's injuries, especially the severe injuries to his arms, would require at least several months of rest before he could fully recover.

But now, after just one night, the former's arms are back to what they were before?

Elgin Almond couldn't help but blink, wondering if he was delusional.

Ye Hao's expression froze when he heard this. Everything that happened in his body was so unbelievable that even he himself was confused now.

Furthermore, when he saw the unconcealed fatigue on the old man's face, he didn't want him to worry about himself anymore.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao's mind went crazy, and he said with a smile: "During the few days outside the Black Abyss Mountains, I accidentally picked a strange fruit. After eating the fruit last night, my injury healed when I woke up."

"The strange fruit...is it some kind of rare elixir?"Elgin Almond frowned and nodded thoughtfully: "There are some rare treasures in the Black Abyss Mountains. It is your chance to get them."

Ye Elgin Almond really had no doubts about Farrell Almond words. Firstly, although the Black Abyss Mountains were dangerous, there were many rare and rare treasures in them.

Secondly, no matter how Elgin Almond guessed, he could never imagine the series of unbelievable strange things happening in Farrell Almond body.

"I'm relieved that the injury has recovered. I'll have to pay more attention when going out in the future."

Elgin Almond looked at Farrell Almond and said something meaningful, then handed the box in his hand to Farrell Almond and said with a smile: "Here, keep this scarlet blood fruit. It would have helped you recover from your injury. Now that the injury is healed, , taking it can also enhance Qi and blood and help practice."

"Crimson blood fruit? First-grade elixir?"

Farrell Almond opened the box with a shocked expression. Inside, lying quietly was a strange fruit the size of a baby's fist, bright red in color, and as transparent as agate. At the same time, an extremely rich fragrance rushed into his nostrils, making him The qi and blood in the body seemed to be active.

No wonder Farrell Almond was shocked. After all, the spirit fruit in the box was far from comparable to the Body Tempering Pill. Its powerful medicinal properties help to enhance the power of Qi and blood in the monk's body, which is of great benefit to the practice of the Body Tempering Realm monks. , already belongs to the category of first-grade elixir.

You know, even for the Ye the Almond Family, the most precious thing is a third-grade elixir, and it is used as a secret, even the clan leader has no right to use it privately.

The first-grade elixir is already an extremely important resource for cultivation. In the past, it would never have been available to a person like him who was unable to practice.

Farrell Almond could completely imagine that the old man in front of him must have spent a lot of time and energy to get this red blood fruit for him.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao suddenly felt a little sour in his eyes. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Haha, it's just a first-grade spiritual fruit. Grandpa still has the right to make the decision!" As if he knew what he was thinking, Ye Yunfeng smiled and patted Farrell Almond on the shoulder, and continued: "Have a good rest, the clan examination is coming soon. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with.”

After saying that, Elgin Almond turned and left.

Seeing the old man's slightly hunched tired figure disappear, Ye Hao rubbed his face fiercely, and the idea of ​​becoming stronger became stronger in his heart.

During the silence, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I almost forgot about it."

As his injuries recovered and his physical condition greatly improved, Farrell Almond finally remembered that after the bright golden light in the mysterious space fell into his mind, something strange seemed to appear in the depths of his consciousness.

Thinking of this, Farrell Almond turned around and went back to the house. When he walked past the huge blue stone, his fingers suddenly moved toward the fine lines on it and tapped lightly.

Suddenly, as his fingers fell, this heavy stone as huge as a hill suddenly exploded, turning into smoke and dust that filled the sky, slowly falling down.

Obviously, the dark energy of Farrell Almond previous attack had completely destroyed the inside of the boulder.

If Ye Elgin Almond, who had just left, saw this scene, he would be extremely shocked.

After all, even a cultivator at the sixth level of Body Tempering cannot smash this mountain-like boulder into powder with just one punch. I am afraid that only a cultivator at the seventh level of Body Tempering can use spiritual power. Only then is it possible.

But now Farrell Almond, with the fusion and baptism of that drop of mysterious blood, although his own realm is still at the fifth level of Body Tempering, the power he explodes is comparable to that of a strong man at the seventh level of Body Tempering.

Farrell Almond understood that that drop of blood essence of unknown origin, exuding mysterious power, greatly enhanced his physique.

He even had a feeling that as long as his strength increased, he would be able to break through the seventh level of body tempering without any difficulty.

Because the body of a cultivator is like a container, and the power of Qi and blood of a cultivator is like the liquid in the container.

The purpose of monks' daily physical training is to expand themselves so that while their physical strength is strengthened, they can accommodate more energy, blood and spiritual power.

And Farrell Almond's body, baptized by that drop of mysterious essence and blood, seems to have expanded to the seventh level of body quenching in terms of strength and capacity. As long as the power of qi and blood increases, he can easily break through the body quenching level. Seven layers without any side effects.

After cleaning up the messy house and washing off the dirt on his body, Ye Hao sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, feeling the changes in his body, and the surprise in his heart became more and more intense.

After a slight silence, he suddenly took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to investigate the strangeness in his sea of ​​consciousness.

As his mind poured in, Farrell Almond soon entered a dark and void space, which was the depth of his sea of ​​consciousness.

But at this moment, in his dark and void sea of ​​consciousness, there was a strange golden light, like a bright seed, small and small, floating quietly.

He recognized this object at a glance. It was the golden rainbow that quickly fell into the light ball in his mind inside the gray bead.

This is a very strange feeling. In the sea of ​​​​his consciousness, there is a mysterious object that looks like a substance. Even though Farrell Almond has experienced a series of unbelievable strange things, he still feels strange at this moment.

"What is this?"

After that drop of mysterious blood strengthened his physique, Farrell Almond couldn't tell whether he was expecting or fearing this mysterious golden light.

Finally, curiosity defeated fear, and Farrell Almond slowly approached and left.

However, as his mind approached a certain range, the mysterious golden light suddenly sent out a soft ripple like water waves, easily blocking his mind.

"Can't get closer?"

After trying several times without giving up, Farrell Almond found that although the golden ripples looked soft, they were by no means a force that he could break through.

In the end, Farrell Almond could only sigh softly, suppressing his curiosity, and his mind slowly exited the sea of ​​consciousness.

According to Farrell Almond guess, perhaps only when he gradually becomes stronger can he figure out the secret of the mysterious golden light.

The strange things that happened one after another in his body made Farrell Almond nerves become a little nervous, whether it was the mysterious gray bead in his lower abdomen, the boundless space inside the gray bead, or the strange drop that integrated into his body. The blood, and the bright and mysterious golden light in the memory of the mind.

It was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge. Farrell Almond guessed that even his grandfather, as a strong Taoist realm, might not be able to figure out the series of strange things in his body.

However, although he didn't know the reasons for these strange things, Farrell Almond was not too worried about all this.

After all, the benefits of that drop of mysterious blood are real.

And now he is still too weak, even if he thinks randomly, he can't solve anything. When Farrell Almond thinks about it, everything in his body should be harmless to him, otherwise the moment the mysterious gray bead fell into his body four years ago, he would have died.

As soon as he thought of this, Farrell Almond stopped thinking about it and took the storage bag on the side, his eyes gradually becoming colder.

He always keeps the hatred of Ilithyia Almond and Truman Almond in mind. Now that his injuries have healed and his strength has greatly improved, it is time to recover this blood debt.

However, Ilithyia Almond, Truman Almond and Caleb Almond are different. The former two are the direct bloodline of the elders in the clan. If he takes action openly, he will definitely anger the elders behind him and cause unpredictable shocks to the Almond Family..

In the past, when his grandfather was not injured and his strength was at its peak, Farrell Almond would naturally not have these concerns.

But now, Elgin Almond secret injury is difficult to heal, and the elders of the clan are very likely to use it to make trouble. Even his grandfather will be implicated.

While squinting in thought, Farrell Almond suddenly recalled Elgin Almond previous words, and a glimmer of light flashed in his black eyes.

"I almost forgot, this year's martial arts exam is coming soon..." After muttering to himself, Farrell Almond sneered at the corner of his mouth and murmured: "It's a good opportunity."

The so-called martial arts assessment is an annual event for the Almond Family. Any member of the younger generation the Almond Family can participate in the assessment as long as they think they are strong enough.

Those who can successfully pass the assessment and enter the martial arts hall will not only greatly increase their status within the clan, but also gain access to training resources that others cannot imagine.

Of course, as the core of the Almond Family, Wutang's assessment must be extremely harsh and even involve life and death crises. Many clan members die in the assessment every year.

Therefore, those who can enter the martial arts hall can be said to be the best of the younger generation of the Almond Family.

As for those children who are not strong enough, they must also take an assessment before the age of seventeen as a training. If they evade the assessment before the age reaches the age, they will be expelled from the family.

It is precisely for this reason that the Almond Family's martial arts examination is a grand event that all young people both long for and fear.

If you succeed, you will reach the sky in one step.

Failure may result in a life or death crisis.

Of course, it was precisely these iron-blooded rules that made the Almond Family grow rapidly and become one of the three major families in Black Abyss City.

As for Farrell Almond, if there had been no physical accident four years ago, he would have taken the exam and successfully entered the martial arts hall.

And now that he has reached the age of seventeen, Farrell Almond cannot escape this martial arts assessment, and he will not escape.

Because Truman Almond is the same age as him, he will definitely take part in the assessment this time. As for Ilithyia Almond, although she has not yet reached the age limit, based on Farrell Almond's understanding of the woman, as long as she breaks through the sixth level of body tempering, she will definitely not let this go. Chance.

The martial arts assessment does not matter life or death.

It was this rule that Farrell Almond valued. If he killed two people in the assessment, even the elders of the clan would not be able to find any clues.

After making up his mind, Farrell Almond suddenly moved his fingers slightly and took out a dark red pill filled with strong energy and blood fluctuations from the storage bag. It was the Body Tempering Pill.

Today, although he is still at the fifth level of Body Tempering, the power he can unleash with the help of his Body Tempering magical power is not weaker than that of a cultivator at the seventh level of Body Tempering.

"It is safer to break through the sixth level of body quenching as soon as possible."

After whispering, Farrell Almond swallowed the elixir in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and began to refine it into his own qi and blood.
