C2 A Gift from the Old Man

This secret has been hidden in Qin Tian's heart for a long time. That was seven years ago. Qin Tian went to the back mountain of Qin family alone to play. In order to chase a small animal, he accidentally fell off the cliff. However, underneath the cliff was an extremely soft underbrush. Therefore, Qin Tian escaped death, but found a cave.

The young Qin Tian mustered his courage and went into the cave. He found a kind old man in the cave. As time passed, the old man got used to Qin Tian. He only said that he liked peace and quiet and that no one should know that he was here.

For some reason, the old man seemed to know that this period of time was extremely important to Qin Tian. Therefore, he said that if Qin Tian came to find him again today, he would give him an opportunity.

This mountain path had been walking for an unknown number of times. Qin Tian arrived at the cliff and grabbed two vines. After a few leaps, he arrived at his destination.

The cave was a little cold at this moment. The sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time. It was a beautiful place.

"Old man, I'm here again. " Qin Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"En, I know. Come in, Tian. "

In response to Qin Tian was an aged but kind voice.

The old man was still sitting cross-legged on a green rock like before.

The old man opened his eyes and looked at Qin Tian. For some reason, there was some fluctuation in his heart, and he shook his head. Fine. Today, he would be bestowed with some good fortune. Whether he would become a dragon or a worm in the future would depend on himself.

" Tian, come here and bear with it. It will hurt a little. Bear with it for a while. There are too many impurities in your body. This will hinder your future path of cultivation. "

Qin Tian nodded. He knew what the old man meant. The old man intended to remove the impurities in his body. Once the impurities in his body were removed, his physical fitness would rise to another level. He immediately went to the old man's side.

He saw the old man's palm. A weak light lit up on the old man's palm. The light that appeared in the cave caused the entire cave to appear a little sacred for a moment.

The sacred light shone on Qin Tian's head.

Qin Tian could only feel intense pain starting from the top of his head, spreading from his head to all parts of his body. The pain was like gangrene attached to his bones, corroding his bones and flesh inch by inch.

This pain seemed to have directly struck Qin Tian's soul!

"Ah. . . Humph. . . "

At the beginning, Qin Tian could still endure it without making a sound. As the pain intensified, he finally could not bear it and shouted. However, he forcefully held it back.

At the same time, the holy light seemed to be pulling Qin Tian's soul. Qin Tian's consciousness suddenly blurred, and then, he appeared at the foot of a mountain.

This place seemed to be another world. This huge mountain was the center of the entire world. At this moment, the voice of the old man came from all directions.

"If you want to obtain power, then let me see how strong your obsession with power is. Go, climb to the top of this Sky Mountain. There is something that can help you obtain power at the top of the mountain. "

At this moment, the old man was no longer kind. Instead, he seemed to be the master of creation, and his voice was extremely indifferent.

Qin Tian didn't know why he was here, but since there was something he desired on the mountain peak. . . He had to reach the summit!

Only when he started climbing did he understand how difficult it was to conquer this so-called One-Line Mountain!

At the bottom of the One-Line Mountain. . . It was drizzling in the sky, but the mountain path was like a swamp, extremely difficult to walk on. When Qin Tian's foot landed on the ground, it would usually take a lot of effort to lift it up again. Moreover, there were countless poisonous insects in the mud on the mountain path. Soon, Qin Tian's feet began to swell.

Qin Tian didn't know what was going on. He only knew that his whole body was in pain, but he didn't stop moving forward.

As if he knew that this wouldn't stop Qin Tian, the drizzle in the sky changed. The raindrops turned into silver needles at this moment!

The silver needles fell at a rapid speed and pierced Qin Tian's body! However, the moment the needles were inserted, the silver needles disappeared. What was left for Qin Tian was only the pain from the countless needles! Blood was dripping!

The blood kept flowing along with Qin Tian, as if it would never run out. Qin Tian gritted his teeth and held on. He bit down hard on the corner of his mouth. Every step he took represented a huge amount of pain.

He needed to get what the old man said that could help him gain power.

The rain of silver needles in the sky no longer appeared. What followed was nine huge suns. The mountain path changed. It was no longer a swamp, but a piece of land similar to iron. As the nine suns burned, the temperature on the ground began to rise.

Qin Tian's wound was no longer bleeding, but as the temperature burned, Qin Tian's entire body began to burn black. The sudden change made Qin Tian's body unable to bear it. He raised his head and looked at the peak of the mountain. He couldn't see the end of it. Looking back, he was still at the foot of the mountain. . . As if he had put in all his effort. It's just a short distance.

Qin Tian was in a trance and wanted to fall asleep. At this time, he remembered his father Qin Zhan's pale face and the scene of him being bullied and helpless in the past.

From this moment on, I am no longer the original me!

I have already been tortured! Qin Tian, who was in a daze, was unable to speak clearly. He called out to his father before stopping in his tracks.

Then, Qin Tian's temperament changed. He was like a spear that wanted to break through the sky.

You can't stop me. One-Line Mountain, you can't stop me!

Qin Tian roared in his heart. Without any hesitation, he allowed the scorching temperature to pass through his body. His body began to fester, making him look extremely frightening. However, all of this could only strengthen his determination to step onto the summit of One-Line Mountain!

He wanted to obtain strength!

The scorching land began to fall. The nine huge suns in the sky also disappeared, and then a bone-piercing cold wind appeared.

The cold wind was piercingly cold, constantly whistling. Snow with goose feathers floated in the sky, and the temperature instantly dropped. The temperature changed from hot to cold. The cold wind tore through Qin Tian's skin, but he seemed to be unable to feel it. The cold snow froze his body, but it was dissolved by the hot blood in his heart. In this world, there was no one who could stop him! He firmly walked to the top of the mountain.

The old man looked at this scene and nodded with a smile. Not bad, he had enough perseverance and determination, and he also understood his desire to advance. Since that was the case, then let's just say he passed the test.

The peak of Sky Mountain had never been a place, but a place that referred to one's heart. Once one understood one's heart, they would naturally conquer Sky Mountain.

He felt gratified when he saw that Qin Tian was able to persist on his path without giving up. If that was the case, he would be able to relax a little after leaving this place.

. . .

When the old man agreed that Qin Tian had passed the test, Qin Tian's mind returned. Everything seemed like a dream that had never happened before, but Qin Tian truly felt the heart-wrenching pain.

Feeling comfortable, Qin Tian opened his eyes and smelled something strange.

"It stinks!"

Qin Tian covered his nose and cried out. Immediately, he looked at his body. The surface of his skin was black like mud, and the stench was coming from it.

He looked around. There was a clear spring in the cave, and it was extremely attractive. Without thinking, Qin Tian plunged headfirst into the cave and washed his body.

"Eh? My skin has turned white!"

After a year of body tempering, Qin Tian's skin had already become somewhat dark. But now, after being washed, it had actually become fair, and his height had also increased by quite a bit. At least, it did not look like he was malnourished.

Qin Tian could feel that his body condition had actually become unprecedentedly good. Because of body tempering, his body did not receive any nourishment from the spirit medicine. Now, it wasn't a problem anymore.

After the cleaning, Immediately, a voice was imprinted in Qin Tian's mind.

"Child, you should know what your heart is like. I hope you can continue to be like this in the future. The path of cultivation. . . Only by following your own inner thoughts will you truly be able to walk your own path. When you are invincible in your heart, you have already conquered the top of the mountain. The Fortune Bead in your hand is the reward for conquering Sky Mountain. With this Fortune Bead and your hard work. . . Sooner or later, you will become a true powerhouse.

That's right. Fang Qingshi, if you have the ability in the future, you can come here and take it away. Haha, it's just another small gift. Don't look for me, I'm leaving. "

Qin Tian remained silent for a long time. He stood there and calmed his mind. He could feel the increased strength in his body. He knew that he had once again advanced to the fifth level of the Body Refining Stage. He clenched his fists and was filled with gratitude towards the old man.

From tomorrow onwards, it would be his first step. Just wait and see. I, Qin Tian, am here for the family competition!
