After recovering from his injuries, Elder Li left the village, taking the spirit stones and elixirs Sang Jin had given him. It had been four years. No one knew what he was doing now, or whether he had found his enemy, Li Liang, and his descendants.
Yanxu Kingdom.
At this moment, Li Jinglei, sporting the face of a twenty-year-old Wang Er, traveled between nations. This time, he arrived in Yanxu. For ten thousand years, he hadn't been able to find any descendants of his cousin Li Liang. However, he had heard that descendants of his own family were still here.
At this time, he no longer had any hatred in his heart. He just wanted to ask Li Liang, why?
Aren’t they brothers? Why did he do that? But he could never find him again.
This was the last country he had visited in all these years. He had searched the other three countries thoroughly, but there was no trace of the Li clan.
"Boss, give me a room with good lighting." Li Jinglei walked into a small, run-down inn. The innkeeper was an old man in patched clothes.
"Okay, sir. Fifteen cents a night." The old man greeted Li Jinglei happily. Finally, some business.
Ever since Cai Ya offended the Fan family last time, no one in this town dared to stay or eat at his house.
"Excuse me, is your last name Li?" Li Jinglei could smell that familiar scent of blood here. Although it was much fainter, after four years, he finally found someone related to him.
Back when he and his cousin Li Liang were around, the Li family was once a prosperous family. Over the years, the world has changed so much that even the change of a country is not surprising, let alone a family.
Now he just wants to see how the descendants of the Li family are doing.
"Yes, my family has lived here for generations, and my surname is Li," said the old man.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" Li Jinglei asked.
"It's this grandson, he's thirteen years old this year. I wanted him to participate in this year's major sects' recruitment, but he refused to go and insisted on staying with an old man like me. Tell me, how can this child be so stubborn?"
"Grandpa, you are talking about me again. Cai Ya just wants to be with you." said a young man wearing dark grey patched clothes like the old man.
"Your name is Li Caiya?"
"Yes."
"Are there any other people in your family?"
"No, there are only me and grandpa." Li Caiya said this calmly.
His parents had passed away two years ago. They were beaten to death by the Fan family. It was simply because he had entered the Dixuan Sect with the young master of the Fan family and his talent was higher than that of the young master of the Fan family.
The Fan family sent people to the inn to pick a fight, and finally beat his parents to death. He wanted revenge every day, but his grandfather was old and he couldn't leave him alone.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Li Jinglei saw that the Li family was now in decline, with only these two bloodlines left. He just wanted to pass on the Li family's skills.
"Yes!" He wanted to become stronger day and night.
"Would you like to become my disciple? My name is Wang Er, and I have some connection to your Li family's ancestors." Li Jinglei did not reveal his identity. The fewer people who knew about his resurrection, the less they knew.
Besides, Wang Er still needed this identity in Shengdan Village, so he simply kept it after leaving the village.
"I want to be your disciple, but you look only a few years older than me. How are you going to teach me?" Cai Ya questioned.
"When I was in Tianqi Country, I had a chance encounter and inherited the legacy from the ancestor of the Li family. He said that if I met a descendant of the Li family in the future, I could help him pass the legacy back to the Li family." Is it a chance encounter to meet myself?
"So that's how it is. Then we are the descendants of the Li family? Only after you show me your current level of cultivation will I become your disciple." Li Caiya made another request.
This child, why is he so cunning?
"This is... the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage... Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!" Li Caiya's mind raced. He quickly knelt on the ground and saluted Li Jinglei.
Indeed, after recovering from his injuries, Li Jinglei's cultivation had rapidly recovered to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage over the past four years. While still far from his peak, it was enough for him to roam freely on this continent.
"This..." The old man hadn't reacted yet. How could his beloved grandson suddenly have a powerful master? The key point was that his master looked so young.
"Young man, since you have become the mentor of my Cai Ya, you are now a family member, so naturally I can no longer charge you money. You can stay as long as you want." said the old man Li.
"Thank you, Uncle Li." After wandering around the world in the past few years, Li Jinglei has become very accustomed to his new identity as Wang Er.
"Master, I'm still curious, how old are you? Can I be as powerful as you in the future?" Li Caiya became interested. At first, he had a cold and aloof look, saying, "You can't teach me." But now he was very enthusiastic towards Li Jinglei.
"Master, I am twenty years old this year." If he said he was 101,202 years old, someone would have to believe him.
"So young, only seven years older than me."
“…”
San Dan Village.
The day of the gathering of the four sects and three academies soon arrived. Hundreds of people gathered not far from the Tianwei Nan Mountains. Each sect and academy sent fifty new disciples to participate in the trials. The sect or academy with the most points would take first place and receive a reward.
First Prize: One sixth-grade mid-grade nourishing gold pill, one eighth-grade top-grade detoxification pill, one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and one mid-grade spirit weapon.
Second Place: One mid-grade eighth-grade detoxification pill, six hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one low-grade spiritual weapon.
Third Place: Three third-grade Qi-restoring Pills, two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one mid-grade magical weapon.
These are training grounds for disciples from the fifth level of Qi Training to the Foundation Establishment stage. Any spiritual herbs or treasures found in this mountain range belong to the disciples. In addition, there are also rewards for ranking.
Sang Jin had no interest in the elixir reward. But for others, it was a rare treasure. After all, a single elixir like that could fetch millions of spirit stones. Especially for a child from a poor family, it was a fortune.
Only the rookie training competition held every five years by the four countries can be so grand.
I remember last time the rewards were spirit stones and spiritual energy, and the elixirs were no higher than the fourth grade. I didn't expect that this year's first and second place winners would both receive eighth grade detoxification pills.
Such a pill that can cure all poisons means you have an extra life.
"This year the four countries are making big moves."
"I really want that detoxification pill."
"Pah—you have the ability. The most likely to win the championship this year are Fu Sisi from Lingxuan Sect and Wang Enze from Dixuan Sect."
“What if there’s a dark horse?”
"Do you think that someone in the middle stage of foundation building is just a vegetarian?"
“…”
"Okay, this year's training has begun. Elders, let's get started." said Elder Zhu of Lingxuan Sect.
As a sect that consistently takes the top spot, the Lingxuan Sect always spearheads the training tournament. Consequently, they're often the first to arrive at their destination. This is because they have to make preparations ahead of time, check the mountain's safety, and so on.
The Four Nations Training Tournament had begun. The elders and mentors from the various sects and academies remained outside.
