Chapter 357: Chapter 228: Choice

Lin Xu returned to the drafty wooden shack, where a little girl about seven or eight years old walked out from behind a plank.

"Brother... I’m hungry."

The little girl was dressed in rags and dirt... She looked at the young Lin Xu with eager eyes.

Lin Xu quickly pulled out an oil-paper wrapped package from beneath his clothes, carefully opened it, and revealed a pancake inside, except the pancake was already misshapen and torn.

"Xi, eat quickly."

He hurriedly tore off half of the pancake and handed it to his sister Lin Xi.

After receiving the pancake, the little girl quickly gobbled it down.

When Lin Xu wanted to eat the remaining half of the pancake, just as he was about to bite into it, he still tore off another half and wrapped it in oil-paper.

He knew his sister would definitely be hungry again by evening.

After finishing the pancake, he was still very hungry, but he could only endure it, then he went to a brighter spot by the doorway, took out the secret manual, whose characters he recognized.

Before the great change happened over two years ago, his family was relatively affluent and his parents were quite well-known martial artists... So he learned to read and write from a young age, but after the great change, everything changed.

His family died.

The house was destroyed.

Only he and his sister were left to depend on each other for survival.

"This seems to be a Body Refining Boxing Technique?"

After flipping through it briefly, Lin Xu soon had some understanding.

He was a bit puzzled as to why that mysterious strong figure would give him such a common boxing technique?

Such an ordinary boxing technique, even in a small city-state like Yiling Town, was very common and few people would practice it.

Nevertheless, he decided to cultivate it.

After all, this was his only chance to change his fate.

He did not want his sister to continue to go hungry following him.

"I will cultivate this boxing technique to perfection... I’m sure I can do it."

Lin Xu immediately began to delve into it.

...

Inside the Daoist Temple on the mountain.

Li Qian sat cross-legged next to the Chen Bell.

His spiritual sense was sensing the young man in the town.

The young brother and sister could only fill their stomachs with pancakes, obviously in a very difficult situation.

He sighed; the great disaster from more than two years ago had left the siblings orphans.

This kind of situation was all too common within Yiling Town.

He shook his head, then closed his eyes and began to practice.

In the following few months, Li Qian stayed in the Longevity Realm.

His daily routine was practicing and paying attention to a dozen or so young boys and girls he had taken an interest in.

Apart from Lin Xu, he had gradually selected a dozen or so others during this period.

All of them had quite good talent.

And they were all orphans.

However, Lin Xu had the highest talent among them.

The rest were of the Treasure Light Level, Rosy Clouds Level.

After more than half a year of observation, he finally confirmed five people.

As for the others, they were all dismissed.

Most of them had a lack of good character.

Apart from talent, temperament was also very important in his selection of disciples.

He did not want to take in those of poor conduct, sinister and evil by nature.

At least so far, there had been no incidents of disciples from Wuxin Peak betraying their master and their path.

At the foot of the mountain.

A young man was making his way stealthily toward the mountain.

Since the back mountain was sealed off by the major clans of Yiling Town, ordinary people simply could not get close, let alone climb the mountain.

Yet strangely, as he approached the back mountain, although he almost encountered patrol personnel, he was lucky not to be discovered.

In this way, he actually entered the back mountain without any mishap.

Naturally, he did not know that all this was actually Li Qian covering for him from the shadows. freēNovelFire.com

Otherwise, no matter how careful he was, it would have been impossible to evade those patrollers.

Upon reaching the mountain, Lin Xu relaxed a bit because he did not encounter anyone else.

Even the people from the major clans dared not climb the mountain for fear of disturbing that mysterious existence.

When he saw that dilapidated Daoist Temple, Lin Xu’s heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Would that mysterious strong figure take him as a disciple?

Inside the Daoist Temple.

There had been significant changes.

Li Qian had previously made some simple repairs and added some daily necessities.

Suddenly, a young man peeked his head around cautiously.

"Little fellow, come on in."

Li Qian’s indifferent voice sounded.

On hearing this, Lin Xu hurriedly walked in and saw Li Qian sitting cross-legged.

"Senior, I have perfected the Sword Stabbing Fist."

Lin Xu hurriedly declared.

"Hmm, perform the set for me to see."

Li Qian nodded.

"Yes, Senior."

Lin Xu immediately took up a stance in the hall and began to demonstrate the Sword Stabbing Fist.

After he finished the set, he waited anxiously for the verdict.

"Hmm, not bad, the fact that you could research on your own and achieve perfection in the Sword Stabbing Fist in such a short time is commendable."

Li Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Indeed, he possessed the Extreme Light Level talent, and a Longevity Species bloodline awakener; none of his other disciples could have done this.

However, as Li Qian’s cultivation level was high, his expectations naturally became higher.

Moreover, being in the Longevity Realm, standard benchmarks must certainly be raised accordingly.

"I will take you as a Registered Disciple and pass on a cultivation technique to you, go back and practice well."

Li Qian continued.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent entered the young man’s body, directly imparting the Heartless Sword Technique and the method of the Pure Sword Body to Lin Xu through an infusion method.

Furthermore, Li Qian sealed that surge of Sword Intent within the young man’s body, whereby it would automatically activate in case of danger.

After all, Li Qian did not plan to bring the young man back to the Divine Sword Sect, but rather, he allowed him to continue living and cultivating martial arts in Yiling Town.

Within Yiling Town, he could guide from afar at any time, so there was no need to worry.
