The night was silent and still. Villa 2601 at the Fourth Ring Road in the East District was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city when a black figure jumped out from the first-floor window.

Then another red figure rushed out from the second-floor balcony, following the direction of the previous black figure.

"So clever."

Ling Xuan jumped freely on the leaves, while Lin Shuiyao followed closely on the ground and dodged between the trees.

This time, Ling Xuan went out late at night without sleeping, mainly to meet someone, a crazy old man who didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

To be more precise, he is Ye Lingxuan's benefactor.

Ling Xuan’s current level of cultivation could not have been achieved without his help.

The talented people of his generation were only at the sixth stage of Qi and Blood, but he had already reached this stage before he had the ability to travel through time.

It’s not that Ling Xuan has extraordinary talent but that he has the help of this old man Shan. Until now, Ling Xuan still doesn’t know the old man Shan’s name.

All he knew was that Old Man Shan would teach him a sword technique every month.

It is said to be sword technique but it is not sword technique and its shape is somewhat like a knife, a feeling of being like a sword but not a knife. The old man Shan calls it the single-edged sword technique.

It just so happened that the old man didn't tell Ling Xuan his name, so he called him Old Man Shan.

Old man Shan didn't respond, so Ling Xuan kept calling out.

When he was nine years old, Old Man Shan appeared once and scared Ling Xuan. An old man reeking of alcohol suddenly appeared in the orphanage. He quickly took Ling Xuan into a small dark room on an island and kept him there for the night.

At first Ling Xuan thought that he was abducted by the child trafficking organization, and he felt uneasy. He only knew that old man Shan took a drop of blood from his body and then ignored him.

It was not until the next day when Ling Xuan woke up that he found himself back in the orphanage. At first, Ling Xuan thought it was just a dream.

Then he was kidnapped again the next night. It was the same scene, the same drunk old man, the same small dark room, and another drop of Ling Xuan's blood was taken away.

The situation was exactly the same for seven consecutive nights. Ling Xuan seemed to have entered a loop, and nothing else changed.

The only thing that changed was Ling Xuan's mentality. He resisted at the beginning and tried his best to escape, but in the end he didn't care about anything and seemed to have let it go.

The nightmare did not end until the seventh day. Ling Xuan stayed on the bed with his hands clasped in front of him, waiting for Old Man Shan to arrive without even a hint of resistance.

On the fifth day, Ling Xuan escaped from the orphanage and took a train to leave Donghai City. Who would have thought that when night fell, old man Shan looked for him as if he had installed a locator on him.

The same situation happened again, the same smell of alcohol and the same drop of blood. When he woke up the next day, he was already in the bed in the orphanage. After that, Ling Xuan didn't resist much.

This time, there was no smell of alcohol on Old Man Shan, so Ling Xuan still obediently entered the small dark room. There was no change at all, except for a little blood.

On the eighth night, the old man said that the boy was "a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent and extraordinary ability, one in a million" and that he wanted to teach him martial arts and some basic martial arts knowledge that night.

After that, Old Man Shan would teach Ling Xuan martial arts every other night. At first, Ling Xuan was terrified.

Anyone who shows kindness to others for no reason is either a traitor or a thief. Ling Xuan was penniless at that time and had nothing.

This old man Shan might be the second "Mo Juren", so Ling Xuan was of course very careful in dealing with him. Unfortunately, Ling Xuan didn't have a fellow disciple named "Zhang Tie", so he couldn't find out the old man Shan's purpose.

But he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't escape either, so he had to listen to old man Shan and follow his arrangements.

Anyway, Old Man Shan only teaches him how to practice sword skills and doesn't teach him how to train his body.

After spending a few years together, Ling Xuan discovered that Old Man Shan really had no intentions towards him, and he also realized that he was gifted and had an outstanding talent in martial arts.

Gradually, Ling Xuan himself believed what old man Shan said: he was a martial arts genius with extraordinary talent and extraordinary strength, so he was taught the single-edged sword technique.

Tonight was the date they had planned to meet last month, and Ling Xuan happened to have some questions to ask old man Shan about advancing to the initial stage of warrior.

For ordinary people to advance into a warrior, it is not about accumulating Qi and blood, and sensing true Qi, but about how to condense true Qi and Qi and blood into true essence.

The ratio of Qi and Blood Realm to Warrior Realm is about one hundred to one. Apart from the fact that ordinary Qi and Blood Realm people have no mental skills, this also indirectly proves the difficulty of being promoted to Warrior Realm. This is why Xuezhan, a peak Warrior, can be elected mayor.

The number of people who can become warriors is decreasing compared to before. This is why the empire agreed to the college entrance examination reform. It is not just a matter of cheating that determines the outcome.

One of the important reasons why Ling Xuan met with Old Man Shan was that he needed to upgrade his warrior. As early as in the world of the King of Tombs, Ling Xuan had been thinking about further plans.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of mental methods to guide the two energies in the body, he was unable to make further progress. He had to give up and wait for the meeting with Old Man Shan today to improve his realm.

As for Lin Shuiyao behind him, Ling Xuan had already known that she was following him. If he hadn't deliberately slowed down his pace, Lin Shuiyao would not have been able to keep up.

Wudao Lake is a lesser-known lake among the many lakes in Donghai City, and it is also the most inconspicuous lake. It has neither the world-famous wonders of Sun and Moon Lake nor the touching story of Yuanling.

This lake is the place where Ling Xuan and Old Man Shan want to meet, and this is also the reason why Ling Xuan wants to buy a house in the Third Ring Road of the East District.

Before, Old Man Shan was only responsible for picking him up but not sending him back, which caused him to show up with dark circles under his eyes every day.

Ling Xuan simply chose to buy a house close to Wudao Lake.

Half an hour later, Ling Xuan arrived at the edge of Wudao Lake. He quickly tapped the tip of his toes on the surface of the lake with the Seven Steps of Tianchen. His figure disappeared from Lin Shuiyao's sight as he took the seventh step of Tianshu.

"What's going on? Why is that little pervert gone?"

Lin Shuiyao followed closely behind Ling Xuan, and suddenly found that Ling Xuan disappeared after just passing by on the lake, which made her confused.

"Is there some kind of formation here that can conceal the figure of the little pervert?"

Lin Shuiyao put her hands on her waist and looked at the calm lake, panting. Although Lingbo Weibu could generate internal force, chasing Ling Xuan at high speed for half an hour also consumed a lot of Lin Shuiyao's physical strength.

After taking a closer look at the lake, I found that it is just an ordinary lake, nothing special about it.

So Lin Shuiyao decided to go into the lake to take a look. The internal energy in her body circulated secretly, and a graceful figure passed over the lake like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The surface of the lake was rippling due to external forces. As time went on, the waves became more dense and the crests grew higher.

pat!

A wave far larger than the previous ones arose and swept across the entire lake at great speed.

"Damn it, I couldn't even find the entrance."

Lin Shuiyao, whose internal energy was exhausted, was forced to go ashore. She stood by the lake, panting and staring at the rippling lake surface, with an unwilling look in her eyes.

……

Apart from a wooden house, there is an endless expanse of water in Wudao Lake. Ling Xuan walked on the water with his hands behind his back, and the water under his feet did not cause a single ripple.

"Old Shan, why didn't you go out to greet the head of the Xiaoyao Sect when he came to visit?"
