Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Xiangyun Mountain is located outside Qingyun City, more than 600 kilometers away from the Li family's old house.

The main peak is in the center, and you can see the sea of ​​clouds from both sides.

There is a series of infrastructure around the mountain, including communication base stations and photovoltaic power stations.

Taking advantage of the terrain, plantations and farms were built, providing a supply of all the crops and meat seen in the outside world.

These buildings are built against the mountain, guarding the main peak of Xiangyun Mountain, making it difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of what's inside the mountain.

There are many peaks halfway up Xiangyun Mountain, but at first glance, it looks like just an ordinary mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a sea of ​​clouds and well-maintained trees. There are many courtyards lined up in the habitable area.

Near the top of the mountain, there is a piece of flat ground that was not formed naturally, on which stands an ancient yet ostentatious house.

The corners of the eaves are painted with carved dragons and phoenixes, and every tile has a sense of unrestrained and ostentatiousness.

The atmosphere in the house was almost stagnant.

Inside the main house, a handsome young man had precious porcelain shattered all over the floor under his feet.

The four maids on both sides of the room were of excellent appearance, and those standing aside were goddesses that ordinary people would kneel down and lick.

At this moment, they were all kneeling on the ground trembling, their bodies shaking constantly, and they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

"waste!"

"Gu Longzhang, Xiao Songping, they are all trash!!"

Li Haocheng's eyes were bloodshot. He reached out and found that there was nothing on the table to smash.

In a fit of rage, he grabbed the jade pendant in his arms and tried to pull it off.

"Oh my my brother!"

Just at this moment, a bright girl in a goose yellow gauze dress rushed into the house.

He hurriedly grabbed Li Haocheng's arm with a look of fear on his face.

"My dear brother, you may be angry, but you must not smash the jade pendant passed down from my great grandfather!"

Li Haocheng was stopped by her. He resisted for a few times but found that he could not break free at all, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"let go!"

The bright lady carefully studied his expression and tentatively said, "You can let go, but you can't pull the jade pendant off."

Li Hao was already angry, and was stopped by her, and he almost couldn't breathe.

"Li Ruxin, are you annoying? Go practice your martial arts and stay out of my business."

Seeing that he still had the mind to get angry with her, Li Ruxin's eyes flashed with cunning. She took a step back, let go of his hand, and comforted him like she was coaxing a child.

"Okay, okay, whatever."

"I'm just curious about what happened to make you so angry. I can hear you howling in Qinglin Cliff."

"If you don't mind, can you please tell me so that I can be happy... ahem, let me share your burden?"

Li Ruxin felt relieved when she saw Li Haocheng's arms gradually relax because of her words.

Li Haocheng, who was standing by, was scolded by her and was about to scold her, but suddenly his eyes moved and he looked up and down at his sister in front of him.

Li Ruxin has a slender figure and exudes a unique temperament of a warrior.

Seeing her brother's strange look, she couldn't help but sniffle and said unhappily, "What evil ideas are you up to?"

Li Haocheng smiled awkwardly. Just as he was about to speak, a few words popped out from his nose, "You guys go down."

The four women kneeling on the ground didn't even dare to look at each other secretly. They half bent over and lowered their heads as if they were running for their lives.

When they retreated to the door, several of them quietly looked up at the bright and beautiful woman's back, with gratitude in their hearts that could not be expressed in words.

After they all left, Li Haocheng pretended to clear his throat and spoke casually.

"Ruxin, you have been practicing martial arts since you were young, and your great grandfather also praised you for your extraordinary talent."

"I always feel like you have bad intentions." Li Ruxin curled her lips, then smiled evilly, "What's wrong? Do you feel a little weak and want to learn martial arts from me to strengthen your body?"

"Stop yelling." Li Haocheng glared at her unhappily, and after thinking about it, he decided to get straight to the point.

"Let me ask you something. How strong is Gu Longzhang? I want to hear the truth."

Li Ruxin's pupils shrank, but she remained expressionless and responded in a nonchalant manner.

"Mr. Gu? You've got the point."

"His strength, um..." Li Ruxin raised her hand and scratched her head, pondering, "Let's put it this way, compared to your sister, it's about 50-50."

Li Haocheng, who originally had a serious and expectant look on his face, couldn't help but frown when he heard this answer.

"Fifty-fifty? Are you sure you're not exaggerating?"

Li Ruxin blinked and nodded seriously, "I definitely didn't say anything reckless."

Although Li Haocheng's frown relaxed, his overall mood became noticeably more gloomy.

After a long silence, he could not help but mutter to himself through gritted teeth, "Damn, what kind of offering is this? It's nothing but trash."

"Jiang Shoucheng is such a loser that he won't let me rest in peace even after he dies."

At this moment, he was angry about why Jiang Shoucheng called him instead of just dying.

When he learns of the deaths of the three, he will definitely find a way to kill Jiang Ran who dared to cause trouble for the Li family.

Instead of showing a humble attitude on the phone, he was pointed at on the head and scolded with contempt.

"Brother, aren't you curious about why I can fight against Mr. Gu on equal terms after only practicing martial arts for twenty years?"

Li Ruxin was able to hear his whispers clearly, but she did not ask directly what happened.

Instead, he tilted his head and came forward with a funny look on his face, as if asking, "Why don't you continue asking?"

Li Haocheng waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly, "Why else? Although I, your brother, have never practiced martial arts, I also know that there are talented people in every profession."

"Gu Longzhang is just an ordinary martial artist with average talent who relies on time to learn martial arts. You guessed that it was because of the good genes of the Li family that he was born a martial arts genius."

After Li Haocheng said these words perfunctorily, he heard the beautiful woman exclaim in amazement.

"I didn't expect you to be so insightful."

Li Haocheng was too lazy to pay attention to her, but when he heard these words, a hint of complacency still appeared on his face.

But before he could fully reveal his emotions, Li Rushin sighed apologetically.

"Unfortunately, your guess is not correct at all."

Li Haocheng always felt that she was contradicting him, so he raised his eyebrows and stared at the beautiful woman's quirky and pretty face.

"Then tell me why you can fight Gu Longzhang on equal terms. Did you learn some extraordinary martial arts, such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

Seeing that he was relaxed and joking with her, Li Ruxin knew that the time had come. She suddenly restrained her restless mood and responded seriously.

"What I mean by 50-50 is that if I fight with Mr. Gu, there is a 50% chance that I will die."

Li Haocheng was obviously stunned and asked subconsciously.

"What about the remaining 50%?"

"The remaining 50% is that I will be killed by the Water, Fire, Yin and Yang Spear. I will die without a burial place and not even ashes will be left." Li Ruxin shrugged her shoulders.

She immediately spread out her hands, and a trace of solemnity appeared on her bright face.

"Brother, what happened? Why did you suddenly mention Mr. Gu and ask me such a strange question?"

Li Haocheng narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

He had not originally intended to tell Li Ruxin the truth, but after a conversation,

He also knew that he would most likely not be able to conceal it, so after a little hesitation, he told the truth in a concise manner.

……

“Grandmaster Gu… is dead?!” The blood color on Li Ruxin’s bright face turned pale.

Her tone was even a little trembling.

"Brother, are you sure he died at the hands of someone else, rather than failing to break through, or that his time had come?"

Li Haocheng had a strange expression on his face. He found it hard to understand Li Ruxin's panic-stricken state.

In his opinion, Gu Longzhang's life was at most more important than Xiao Songping's. In reality, there was no difference between their deaths.

They are just people who rely on the Li family.

"From what Jiang Shoucheng described, he was indeed defeated in a fight with someone else."

"I originally thought that by moving out of the Li family, I could intimidate that warrior named Jiang, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by him."

"Since he is unwilling to save the Li family's dignity, then killing Gu Longzhang who came to provoke him is a simple matter."

When Li Haocheng said this, his face turned ugly again.

Whenever he thought of Jiang Ran's arrogant attitude, he wished he could cut him into pieces to vent his anger.

"Brother, do you know why Mr. Gu went to Nandu City to fight that man?"

Li Ruxin finally calmed down and asked hurriedly.

Li Haocheng's expression froze. This matter was actually related to him as well.

Li Sutong of the Merchants Association died in Yanshan. Only a few people knew about this news.

After learning of Li Sutong's death, he didn't actually take it to heart, but he mentioned it casually in front of Gu Longzhang by chance.

Unexpectedly, the other party was like taking stimulants and immediately asked him to send someone to find out the details.

He entrusted this matter to Xiao Songping, and that's how all the subsequent events happened.

Including the death of Gu Longzhang, a closer look at the cause and effect shows that it seemed to have originated from his casual mention of Li Sutong's death.

"The Li family has a branch with only one member left, and he is also a martial artist. I wonder if you have any impression of him?"

Li Haocheng only gave a general idea and didn't give any specific reminders, but Li Ruxin immediately exclaimed.

"Are you talking about Li Sutong?!"

"That's right." Li Haocheng nodded, organized his words, and continued, "It is said that this Li family branch is also a warrior who is about to enter the Huajin stage."

"He has a precious sword, a famous weapon, named Lone Goose."

"Gu Longzhang said that this knife can be forged into his spear, and he has been coveting it for a long time. However, Li Sutong belongs to my Li family after all, and he can't do anything to steal the treasure."

"This trip to Changning District is for this Lone Goose Knife."

After saying these words, you could hear a pin drop in the house.

Li Ruxin's expression was a little frozen, and her heart was pounding in her chest.

After a long while, she swallowed her saliva and spoke in a heavy tone, "So, Li Sutong also died at the hands of Master Jiang?"

Li Haocheng nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Songping may not look good, but he is extremely cautious in his actions.

Since he could bring Gu Longzhang to cause trouble for Jiang Ran, he must know where Li Sutong's famous weapon is.

"It should be so, otherwise there is no reason why the Lone Goose Knife is in his hands."

Li Ruxin couldn't help but frowned and began to think. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Li Haocheng with a serious look.

The tone was very cautious.

"Li Sutong has probably already achieved Grandmaster status. Otherwise, considering how much Mr. Gu values ​​the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Spear, he would definitely try to snatch it... get the Lone Goose Blade and melt it into his own weapon."

"This means that Grandmaster Jiang first killed Li Sutong, and then killed Mr. Gu who had made all the preparations."

"When Grandmasters fight, they must go all out. Grandmaster Jiang was able to maintain his strength and kill Old Man Gu, which shows that his strength is many times greater than that of Gu and Li."

Li Haocheng heard the caution in her words and frowned in disapproval.

"What do you want to say? No matter how strong he is, there is a limit. I can wear him down to death."

Li Ruxin smiled helplessly and explained in a hoarse voice.

"Brother, let's not talk about Li Sutong, do you know how powerful Mr. Gu is?"

Without waiting for Li Haocheng's response, he continued talking.

"Qinglin Cliff is close to the top of Xiangyun Mountain, and has been shrouded in clouds and mist for years."

"Three years ago, I wanted to see the sunrise, but was blocked by the sea of ​​clouds. Mr. Gu was meditating at Qinglin Cliff..."

Speaking of this, even though it was a memory from three years ago, Li Ruxin's bright face still showed an extremely longing look.

"When the internal energy left the body, the clouds and mist within 80 feet of Qinglin Cliff suddenly disappeared."

"It's not a certain size, it's not eighty meters, it's a full eighty feet, which is exactly the range of Master Gu's internal energy leaving his body."

When Li Haocheng heard this, his expression was slightly moved.

If someone else said this, he would definitely not believe it.

Although Li Ruxin has a quirky personality, she has always had her own ideas and never bothers to exaggerate anything.

Coupled with her excitement, which was difficult to conceal at the moment, it was obvious that these words were not false.

only……

“Internal energy leaves the body for eighty feet?!” Li Haocheng repeated it involuntarily, his face still somewhat incredulous.

"If he has such strength, why have I never seen him take action?"

Li Ruxin shook her head helplessly and forced a smile.

"Internal energy leaving the body is a sign of a Grandmaster, but under normal circumstances, no Grandmaster can maintain the state of internal energy leaving the body for dozens of feet. This is a terrifying consumption."

"The most important thing is that the Grandmaster who can use his internal energy to leave his body and the ordinary martial artist who can use internal energy are, in a sense, in two completely different realms."

"Master Jiang was able to kill Li Sutong first, and he was also able to control the consumption of his internal energy to a certain extent, so as to prepare for the battle with Mr. Gu. This shows that the strength of his internal energy far exceeds that of others."

After a brief explanation, seeing that Li Haocheng still looked somewhat skeptical, Li Ruxin was too lazy to explain what the Grand Master actually represented.

After a little thought, she carefully changed her way of reminding Li Haocheng.

"Brother, let's not talk about Master Jiang for now. I just saw you getting furious in the room. Do you want to avenge Xiao Songping and Old Man Gu?"

Upon hearing this, Li Haocheng's eyes immediately became sinister.

"Revenge is secondary. The main thing is that this guy insulted me and disrespected the Li family. I cannot tolerate this."

"Even if he is really as you said, and his martial arts skills are far superior to Gu Longzhang, I must teach him a lesson."

"If he really refuses to change his ways, the only thing waiting for him is death."
