The weather was beautiful, the sky cloudless.

As usual, Lin Hao headed towards the clan's Compendium Pavilion.

Every week, Lin Hao would go to the clan's Book Collection Vault because there were some basic cultivation methods that Lin Hao could learn at ease.

Not long after he walked out of the room, Lin Hao heard an ear-piercing cry.

"Here, young master."

Lin Hao was stunned. He turned around and saw a young man around his age walking towards him.

Not long later, the youth walked to stand in front of Lin Hao. He squinted his eyes and sized up Ning Yue for a moment before exaggerating.

"Aiyo, isn't this our Brother Hao? What, where are you going? "It's better to play with me."

Lin Hao was secretly shocked. The person who had come was his second uncle's youngest son, Lin Qing.

Normally, Lin Qing wouldn't be on good terms with him, she would bully and humiliate him whenever she had the chance.

Lin Hao's expression darkened as he gloomily said, "I'm busy, move out of the way."

Without waiting for Lin Qing to speak, Laifu shouted from behind her, "You brat, you must be tired of living. Young master has invited you, yet you dare to not give him face!"

When Lin Qing heard Lin Hao's reply, he couldn't help but frown. He never imagined that Lin Hao would actually dare to speak to him in such a manner.

"Our family's genius is very busy! Are we going to refine pills or forge equipment? "

With a smirk, Lin Qing said: "Oh, right, you're going to train right? Second level of Qi Refinement, tsk tsk! "So powerful!"

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came from behind Lin Qing.

Lin Hao coldly looked at him and said, "Don't go too far!"

"Aiyo!" What's wrong? So what if I bully you! Even my dog cultivates faster than you! "

"Your pill forging standard is very high, right? Stainless pill! "Hahaha..." Lin Qing said with an unbridled smile.

Lin Hao felt that there was no need to waste his breath on them and immediately prepared to leave.

"Where to? "My shoelaces are missing. Help me tie them. If I'm happy, I might be able to help you concoct pills!" Lin Qing stretched her feet forward and blocked Lin Hao's path.

"Yeah, yeah. Help our young master tie up his shoelace. Our young master is so merciful that he can teach you how to refine pills!" "Hahaha …" The servant behind Lin Qing shouted.

Lin Hao felt that today's matter was going to be difficult, but he did not want to get into a conflict with them. After all, his cultivation was lower than Lin Qing's.

Lin Hao secretly compared his cultivation with Lin Qing's group. He was at the 2nd level of Qi Refining, while Lin Qing was at the 3rd level. Adding in the servants, it would be difficult for him to escape alive!

As she thought of this, Lin Qing decided to make the first move. She shouted, "Go!" At the same time, his hands formed a seal and pointed towards Lin Qing.

"This is bad!" Lin Qing thought to herself.

Originally, Lin Hao's words towards him today had already surprised him. But now, it had once again exceeded his expectations and dared to take the initiative to attack him!

Lin Qing retreated several steps and at the same time slightly leaned to the side, barely dodging Lin Hao's attack.

Lin Hao knew that he had succeeded in his plan, so he attacked Lin Qing's underlings almost instantly. If he had to face Lin Qing, he was not confident, but he was confident that he could deal with these underlings. Lin Hao wanted to defeat the underlings first, then deal with Lin Qing.

However, before Lin Hao's attacks could hit them, a figure flashed past him. The speed was extremely fast, Lin Hao was unable to dodge in time, and was struck by the attack.

"Bang!"

Lin Hao was instantly sent flying several dozen feet away!

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which dyed Lin Hao's clothes red.

Lin Hao was shocked, "You've already broken through to the 4th level of Qi Refinement! Also, you have a Spirit Weapon in your hand! "

"Hahaha …"

A burst of ear-piercing cries sounded out, and Lin Hao knew that he had fallen today.

His cultivation base was lower than Lin Qing's. Furthermore, Lin Qing had a totem, so he was definitely not a match for her.

Lin Qing looked at Lin Hao with disdain, "Humph! You still want to fight me!? I think you are tired of living! Call me. "

They had originally been scared silly when they saw Lin Hao attacking them. After all, they were servants and did not have the potential to cultivate; they were just mortals.

Normally, the reason he dared to act so arrogantly was mainly because of Lin Qingzhao. Now that he saw Lin Hao attacking them, he couldn't help but be scared silly.

Now that he had the chance, he even gave Lin Hao a fierce beating! Exhaling ill will.

He relied on his father's authority and obtained far more cultivation resources than Lin Hao. Furthermore, his father even gave him a spiritual tool. This way, he would act even more recklessly.

Lin Hao covered his head with both hands, preventing them from attacking his head. He didn't want others to see him getting beaten up.

Actually, Lin Qing had used a totem when she was attacking him. Although her cultivation level wasn't that high, she could already control a totem slightly.

Lin Hao had been hit by a spirit artifact and had suffered internal injuries. Now that he was attacked by some mortals, he didn't even have the ability to fight back. He could only watch on helplessly as Lin Hao was beaten up.

After a series of fierce beatings, Lin Qing and the rest left.

"Don't let me see you again in the future, the next time I see you, I will hit you once, you are just a useless trash!"

"… …"

"I can't learn it, I have to be smarter …"

Looking at the failed pill in his hands, Lin Hao said helplessly.

This was already the tenth time Lin Hao had failed today. He had failed several times because he couldn't control the heat, and in the end, he had failed at concocting a pill.

This time, Lin Hao had learned his lesson and was very diligent in the area of fire. However, because his cultivation was too low and he didn't have any spirit stones to replenish his strength, in the end, he still failed due to lack of spirit energy.

"Don't tell me I was born with no talent for pill forging!"

"Pah!" Pow! "Pah!"

Lin Hao clenched his fist and punched the wall a few times.

Lin Hao's cultivation was only at the second level of Qi Refinement, so it was basically impossible to refine high grade pills.

However, he was currently concocting the lowest grade one pill — the Stainless Dan.

The Stainless Dan could not be considered a pill because it basically did not help one at all when cultivating. It could only activate the blood in one's body, drive out fatigue, and cure some superficial wounds.

The reason why Lin Hao was able to refine the medicinal pill was so that it could breathe out his anger. Of course, the other reason was to treat his injuries.

The refining process of the pill was very simple. It was to refine a few herbs and then put them into a pill furnace.

Ordinary people at the second level of Qi Refinement could refine a Pure Pill, but Lin Hao was unable to successfully refine it for a long time.

The reason for this was due to his improper usage of spiritual energy. He had wasted a lot of spiritual energy, resulting in a lack of spiritual energy due to the low cultivation base. Furthermore, he could not control the spiritual energy, so failure was inevitable.

"F * ck!"

Thinking back to what Lin Qing had said today, Lin Hao could not help but curse silently.

"What ability do you think you have?" Even though your cultivation is only at the second level of Qi Refining, if my dog could cultivate it, it would be even higher than your cultivation! "

"Also, look at your pill refining level. You can't even succeed in concocting the Pure Pill!" "Oh, sorrow, what a sorrow!"

"Don't let me see you again in the future, the next time I see you, I will hit you once, you are just a useless trash!"

"… …"

Lin Hao belonged to a small cultivation clan, and the clan leader was his grandfather, Lin Xiao. His father was Lin Xiao's eldest son.

Originally, his position in this family was very high, but after his father and mother disappeared three years ago, Lin Hao's position in this family that preyed on the weak became lower and lower.

However, Lin Qing's father, Lin Xiong, was in charge of the family's Spirit Stones. Spirit Stones were of paramount importance to cultivators. With a good Spirit Stone for cultivation, one's speed of cultivation would increase greatly.

Lin Xiong relied on himself to manage his family's spirit stones. Usually, he would favor his son Lin Qing and give him more spirit stones. This way, Lin Qing would use spirit stones to purchase elixirs, magic treasures, etc. Of course, a part of Lin Qing's training was for the sake of cultivation. With these advantages, Lin Qing's cultivation had already reached the 4th level of Qi Refining. She was already quite outstanding in this small family, and could firmly suppress Lin Hao.

In addition to Lin Qing's spiritual weapon, Lin Hao had no way of fighting back.

Today, Lin Qing had humiliated Lin Hao in front of him and beaten him. Although Lin Qing did not dare to beat him to death, some superficial wounds were unavoidable.

Actually, Lin Hao's cultivation was only at the second level of Qi Refinement, and it wasn't because he didn't work hard to cultivate. On the contrary, he worked even harder than most people. But even so, Lin Hao's cultivation wasn't too high, mainly because his talent was too poor.

Of course, there was also the fact that he lacked spirit stones and some medicinal ingredients.

In addition to the spirit stones given by the clan, the rest of the clan members also had spirit stones given to them by their parents. This naturally made their cultivation speed up a little. Lin Hao did not have this kind of treatment.

As for Lin Hao, he had four types of spiritual roots. These were the False Spiritual Roots that the cultivation world had mentioned.

Spirit roots determined a person's Immortal cultivation potential. The less spirit roots a person had, the better their talent would be. Roughly speaking, the spiritual roots were divided into five types: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

For example, the speed at which a person could cultivate a single Spiritual Root would be much faster. For example, a single Spiritual Root, the Water Spirit Root. These types of spiritual roots were called Heaven Spiritual Roots. Some had mutated Heaven Spiritual Roots, while others had mutated Lightning Spiritual Roots.

The next was the Dual Element Spiritual Roots. It was similar to the Fire and Water Spiritual Roots or the Metal and Wood Spiritual Roots.

Their perception of spiritual energy was much weaker than that of the Heavenly Spirit Root, so of course, they were able to sense spiritual energy much faster than the other three and four elements. A cultivator with dual spiritual roots could become a genius. As long as they didn't die prematurely, they would definitely become an expert in the future.

If he was even a little bit weaker, he would have three types of spiritual roots. The talent of this kind of people could be considered to be in the upper tier. Lin Qing was one of those experts with three types of spiritual roots.

The last two types were the 4 and 5 type False Spiritual Roots. Their cultivation speed could be said to be very slow and without the aid of a large amount of pills and spirit stones, they might not be able to break into the Foundation Establishment stage for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, Lin Hao had already been diligently cultivating. However, the effect wasn't too obvious, and he still couldn't break through to the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage even after a long time had passed.

After being humiliated and beaten up by Lin Qing, Lin Hao returned to his room alone.

Upon hearing Lin Qing say that he was unable to concoct the Pure Pill, Lin Hao was dissatisfied, so he decided to give it a try.

However, the result was very obvious. There were repeated failures without any suspense.

"I can't do this anymore." Lin Hao gazed out of the window in a daze.

As he laid on the ice-cold bed, Lin Hao actually didn't feel a trace of chilliness. Lin Hao touched the jade bracelet on his wrist, and he became much more determined.

"Jade Bracelet! I, Lin Hao, don't need to be so mediocre!"

This bracelet was given to him by his mother when Lin Hao was very young. It could be said that this jade bracelet had accompanied Lin Hao for over 10 years.

Whenever Lin Hao faced difficulties, he would always speak to the jade bracelet. Although the jade bracelet couldn't speak, Lin Hao still spoke to the jade bracelet as if he were speaking to someone.

Because looking at the jade bracelet was like looking at one's parents.
