Chapter One, once dreamed of wielding a sword and roaming the world

His father, Qin Mingyang, and mother, Ye Feifei

Qualification: One Star

Qin Linye sat on the chair for quite a while, gradually calming down

Teacher

Please wait

Nowadays

But ... ...

Qin Linye said

More genuine than gold

The door was closed again

Yes

Qin Linye raised his hand to stop the elderly man in front of him, who had taken out several volumes of thread-bound books, and said earnestly: "At this point, I can no longer conceal the truth. Listen carefully, I am actually a supreme being, but I have become lost on the eternal path, struggling and wasting time, which is why my powers are not manifest... As long as you are willing to give me your books for free, and give me ten yuan, I will once again ascend to the pinnacle of the universe, take you along to show off, take you flying, and take you into the trash... No, I will appoint you as my foremost general!"

He is still very diligent, having spent only two years honing his skills to reach the fifth stage of foundation building without the aid of drugs. If the financial resources at home had kept pace, he would have completed the foundation building much earlier, but unfortunately...

Clang

But ... ...

And now

Hehe

What could possibly be the matter? Giving up on applying to the School of Cultivation, I feel a wave of relief wash over me from head to toe

All examination qualifications have been revoked

The movements are graceful and ethereal

I understand, there are only six months left, and I haven't even completed the foundational work; I won't be able to pass the exam.

In this phase of life

That kind of speed

Once dreamed of wielding a sword and roaming the world

Listen to me, I know that when you enrolled, you aspired to enter the Cultivation Academy and become a sword immortal soaring through the clouds. Therefore, you diligently practice every day, working earnestly. However, in Minghua City, there are one hundred thousand candidates, and each year, fewer than a hundred are ultimately admitted to the Cultivation Academy. It is possible that none will be favored by the sect... I have a slight understanding of your family situation. Currently, you are maintaining your foundational cultivation expenses through part-time work. However, the fifth step of foundational cultivation, refining the organs, and the sixth step, blood exchange, consume the most medicinal materials, often requiring expenditures of around one hundred thousand. Will you be able to earn this amount in the coming year?

three thousand yuan

He glanced around casually, sheathed his sword as if nothing had happened, and brushed off the nonexistent dust from his clothing

You ... ...

What is the difficulty level of cultivation?

It is indeed frustrating, returning to one's original state, a spirit stone is priced at 100,000 yuan, just so you know, cultivating immortality is all about spending money. Although your uncles and aunts give you a sum of money every month, it cannot support you in completing the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage.

Qin Xiaosu screamed in a high-pitched voice: "You are the destined one!"

What is there about him that others would find worth scheming for

The door is closed

You are still called Qin Xiaosu, from the Su family.

Really

It turned out that instead of penetrating the photograph, it was thrust away, crashing against the wall and then falling to the ground

Master the 9th set of basic boxing techniques (beginner), the 12th set of body conditioning exercises (advanced), and the 10th set of basic sword techniques (beginner)

Shouldn't you add a concluding remark like, 'Young man, you are in big trouble'?

Ding!

Strength: 236 kilograms, speed: 1 minute 56 seconds per kilometer, neural reaction: 0.143 seconds

He nodded slightly and said, "Alright"

Minghua City No. 1 High School eleventh grade student

He glanced at his phone and pulled up a text message from within it

Qin Linye gazed at the photograph, his hands tightly gripping the frame, trembling slightly

What nonsense are you talking about

Sun Xiaozhen shook her head

Picture frame

The foundation has been established

You have finally come to understand

The quality of the frame is excellent, seemingly made with tempered glass film, this sword ... ...

Dreams ... ... nothing can stand in the way!

Do not think that just because you are good-looking, I will not dare to hit you

Qin Linye smiled and said: "After all, you know the current environment; the prices of cultivation resources are constantly rising. One must spend money to cultivate, and without money, one can achieve nothing in cultivation."

Qin Lin's elegant sword thrust was frozen in mid-air

He also longs for those large conglomerates and major sects, waving large amounts of cash at him, saying: "Young man, join us, we need talents like you. In the future, you will be the successor of our sect and group, and the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace will rest on your shoulders"

Liu Heng inquired with concern.

That means someone has confronted you

Do not be nervous, please sit down. I would like to discuss your cultivation issues with you

Go away

Qin Linye held this picture frame

and a photo frame on the desk, inlaid with a picture of a family of three

This sword is firmly thrust into the picture frame

Wow, there seems to be some anger. Did you have a confrontation with someone

Qin Linye

Qin Linye knew that Sun Xiaozhen was advising him not to apply to the School of Cultivation.

He did not disappoint those people either

Qin Linye began to roll up his sleeves

Cultivation: Fifth step of foundation establishment, refining the internal organs

A thousand years ago, the Evil Demon Star and the Xuanhuang Star converged, suddenly coming under attack. The Xuanhuang Star was defeated, its star core destroyed, and its spiritual energy dissipated. Although it was later united and collectively defeated by various factions of the Xuanhuang Star, a significant amount of evil demon remnants still linger in the wilderness

The elder said as he walked towards Qin Linye: "Use me as a sacrifice to activate your destiny!"

When Qi Qingyun was tested for this aptitude at the age of twelve, numerous top sects, groups, martial arts schools, and academies sent invitations, offering him special recruitment. Not only was he exempt from various tuition fees, but those forces even promised to invest over one million in cultivation resources for him each year to assist in his rapid growth

Qin Linye nodded

Why would I confront someone when I am doing just fine

"Cultivation aptitude does not represent future achievements, yet those with one or two-star aptitude cannot even apply for foundation loans, while those with three-star aptitude find loan companies approaching them proactively. Perform a bit better, and scholarships can be easily obtained. Four-star aptitude... is equivalent to having one foot in the door of several top universities and influential institutions in the country."

Qualifications

Have you encountered a prank

This is definitely not some deranged group of scammers with built-in special effects

I am telling the truth! Tell me, what is your name?

Language 139, Mathematics 147, Comprehensive Arts and Sciences 277, Theory of Cultivation 141, Practice of Cultivation 169

Indeed

At that moment, a raggedly dressed old man suddenly appeared before Qin Linye.

She rubbed her eyes, seemingly just awakened, still a bit dazed: "Brother, you are back? I thought you had set off on a journey with your sword, pursuing your dreams."

Poor

He tidied up a bit and returned to his own room

The two individuals are eager to distance themselves from their past and embark on a completely new life

The foundation has not yet been established, and true energy has not been cultivated; lacking the ability to protect oneself, what grounds do one have to wield a sword and traverse the world in an environment ravaged by malevolent forces?

Bang

Sun Xiaozhen pointed to the chair in front of Qin Linye and said softly: "I have noticed your efforts, and I am willing to help you apply for a foundation loan, but with a one-star qualification..."

Qin Linye hurriedly escaped to his home, and until now he has been breathing slightly heavily

Qin Linye withdrew his gaze from his phone and looked at the poster on the door of Qin Xiaosu's bedroom

Unwilling to accept

Qin Linye replied with a smile

Leaves

It is indeed the case that the priority should be to eliminate the sources of pollution in the wilderness and restore the planet globally.

This is the true reason why he agreed to Teacher Sun Xiaozhen's cancellation of the application to the School of Cultivation.

Sun Xiaozhen listened and let out a slight sigh of relief, but still asked with concern, "Classmate Qin, are you alright?"

Only one-tenth of the examination fee

Yezi, are you alright

This is the savings he accumulated from working part-time during his spare time

It is just as well not to use it; I am still concerned that after your cultivation, you might raise the difficulty level of the training.

After Qin Linye left, another female teacher in the office, who was a few years older than her, smiled and asked, "You haven't even completed the foundation yet, and you want to take the entrance exam for the cultivation academy?"

The teacher did not mean anything else, but simply felt that you do not need to waste this 30,000 yuan registration fee, as you cannot pursue martial arts. We can make it; if you cannot practice martial arts, we can engage in other work. Aren't I just an ordinary person, like a teacher? Once you apply to a martial arts academy, you will undergo a special training program lasting six months, and at that time, ordinary universities will undoubtedly be out of reach for you

A flash of cold light

That is incorrect; it is you who is fated to encounter the Heavenly Evil Star, destined to live a life without companionship, enduring solitude for a lifetime

As the level of cultivation qualifications increases by one star, the quantity decreases by several tens of times

That is different

Indeed

At this point, a meaningful expression appeared on her slightly chubby baby face.

Qin Xiaosu said earnestly: "Qin Ge, Lin Ge, Ye Ge, I have told you to be careful and cautious. Are you not aware of your own identity? Once you provoke a real fire, it will be disastrous. The other party's father will want to kill you, the grandfather will want to kill you, and even the great-grandfather who is already in the emergency room will immediately jump out of bed and sprint a thousand meters to find you, just to settle the score with you."

Indeed

It is truly a melodramatic family ethics drama

Sword Immortal? Monster?

Qin Linye waved his hand

Your potential is still there, it's just that the family ... ...

Transforming into golden ashes, they drift and scatter with the breeze

Liu Heng, seeing that Qin Linye was in the mood for jokes, felt relieved and responded, "Indeed, the foundational herbs cost hundreds of thousands, and the Qi refining spirit stones start at one hundred thousand. Cultivating immortality really burns money; those resource companies are going crazy for cash."

Qin Linye said with a cheerful smile

Unbroken

Bang

Qin Mingyang got divorced and married the daughter of the general manager of Changsheng Group's Xiyu District. Ye Feifei also connected with a director of Zhongxing Media.

It is so superfluous

The old man was taken aback

A living person, who turns to ash at a mere touch, has vanished

The teacher is right

He picked it up again and placed it in the storage box under the bed

Dear Qin, if the teacher's words have caused any offense, I apologize to you here, and I hope you do not have any other thoughts that might affect your studies

Are you content with it

Qin Xiaosu stuck out her tongue, but it quickly retracted.

Five-star qualification, one in ten thousand

She hurriedly added, "This is not discrimination; 90% of the students in the school only have one or two stars in qualifications. However... since the destruction of the star core in the Dark Age, we are no longer in the ancient times when one could freely enjoy the natural energies of heaven and earth. In the path of cultivation, resources are paramount. To ensure the safety and stability of the Xiyu Kingdom, resources must be reserved for those with greater talent."

Are you serious

If I cannot succeed in cultivating immortality, then I shall practice martial arts

What Teacher Sun said is correct, I have given up on the examination application

The issues left by the Demon Star remain unresolved, as demons rampage through the wilderness, occasionally attacking human cities, and there is still time to be distracted

So... I have canceled your application for the exam

At that time, Qin Mingyang was not yet the Deputy General Manager of the Yunzhou Branch of Changsheng Group, and Ye Feifei was not yet the renowned gold medal agent who had propelled the super star Yun Qingqing to fame

In the teacher's office, Sun Xiaozhen, dressed in a complete teacher's uniform, handed the report card to Qin Linye for review.

The long sword is drawn

Why should I roam the world with a sword

Well then, do not overthink it. We cannot establish a foundation right now. We can take our time. If we cannot enter the academy of cultivation, we can at least practice martial arts. Warriors are also an important cornerstone of the Xiyu Kingdom, aren't they?

After a moment, the door opened again, and Qin Xiaosu poked her head out: "Brother, I haven't used up all the materials for my foundation-building. Do you want me to save some for you?"

Qin Linye pondered for a moment and shook his head

Qin Linye stared at the poster of Qi Qingyun

Liu Heng instinctively exclaimed in surprise, and before he could finish his sentence, he awkwardly added: "That's not what I meant..."

Qin Xiaosu quickly jumped up and swiftly hid in the room

A leaf floats back to the sea, why must we meet again in life

Has Sun Bapo started to persuade you again? She really is meddling too much, hasn't your application to the school of cultivation hindered her?

Your card ending in * 8879 made an online payment of 19.00 yuan on July 15 at 12:31, leaving a balance of 3031.52 yuan after the transaction. [Xihe Bank]

The group photo was taken three years ago, in 2017, when he was fourteen years old

Without waiting for him to speak, Qin Xiaosu's tone had already risen a notch, her fair little arm waving: "You are called Qin Linye! Qin from the Qin family, Lin from the Lin family, Ye from the Ye family!"

At the age of fourteen, he began to cultivate as his bones were initially formed, establishing a foundation over a hundred days. In the same year, he captured the sensation of qi, achieved breath control within three months, and at fifteen, he harnessed true energy. Now, at eighteen, he has transcended the Qi Refinement stage, returning the acquired to the innate, achieving a unity of spirit and energy, and is on the verge of becoming truly agile

It is nothing; my current cultivation achievements would indeed be a waste of the registration fee to apply to the cultivation academy

Qin Linye was lost in thought

... ...

... ...

When you are an ordinary person, surrounded by ordinary people, after you cultivate true energy, everyone possesses true energy. After you cultivate the primordial spirit, even the great primordial spirits become insignificant. By the time you become a sword immortal, the world will be on the brink of destruction... Therefore, in order to prevent us small cultivators from entering hell mode prematurely, you should remain in the lower realms for a while longer.

In that year, he was young and impetuous, swearing to the heavens that he would become an immortal cultivator and stand out among others

The pride of heaven, Qi Qingyun

Very well, then I shall lend you a helping hand

There is no need; I will save money to buy it myself

Bang

Isn't it so? The prices are getting higher and higher. I wonder when we will be able to find resource-rich planets over by the observatory.

... ...

As soon as the two individuals made contact, the old man instantly vanished into thin air

The cost of establishing a one-star qualification is not a small sum, and the expenses will only increase as one embarks on the path of cultivation. It would be wise to abandon the yearning for the path of cultivation early on, pursue a better major in university, and secure a decent job, as this is the correct choice for him

Indeed, I have heard that the price of standard spirit stones has already exceeded 100,000

And the picture frame

Qin Linye spoke to himself

Qin Linye still wanted to salvage the situation, but considering the registration fee of 30,000...

Why ! ? ''

Thank you for your concern, teacher. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now

At this moment, the door to the master bedroom on one side of the living room opened, and a girl with a ponytail, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked out.

Incredible, incredible, young man, you have a divine light emanating from the top of your head, you are truly an unprecedented talent in cultivation, as long as you purchase this book I have in hand...

In the next moment, Qin Linye suddenly threw the picture frame, while simultaneously moving forward, his right hand sweeping over a long sword placed beside the desk, and he let out a loud chant.

Appendix: Detailed Assessment Data

At that time, no matter how busy we were, the whole family would tacitly set aside a day to gather together for a meal

Five-star qualification

Qin Linye is very envious

Especially at that time, he was found to have only a one-star qualification

Qin Linye said with a smile

What comes into view are the desk, books, desk lamp, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the sword placed beside the table

Perhaps a street magician

He

Comment - Not recommended to pursue the path of a practitioner

Qin Xiaosu counted on her fingers: "Let me calculate for you. You have a beautiful and intelligent sister like me, who is not even related by blood, and a childhood friend with whom you share innocent memories. Just a year ago, you were tested and found to have a five-star cultivation talent, and were specially recruited by the Original Dao Academy. Your parents sacrificed themselves... Ah, no, that’s not right. Your uncle and aunt are divorced, leaving you all alone and desolate... All these factors combined lead to the conclusion I have drawn from my four years of rich literary experience immersed in mythological tales... Ah, no, that’s not right. Your uncle and aunt are divorced, leaving you all alone and desolate... All these factors combined lead to the conclusion I have drawn from my four years of rich literary experience immersed in mythological tales..."

Qin Linye reached out to stop him

Watching him leave, Qin Linye rubbed his face, which had become somewhat stiff from smiling, and walked towards his residence

Liu Heng

No, I appreciate the teacher's guidance

As Qin Linye exited the school gate, a man who appeared to be of similar age quickly caught up with him

At his words, the young girl Qin Xiaosu clearly became excited, leaning in closer, her bright eyes fixed on him, scrutinizing him: "This is your life, your destiny, living in destitution, wandering the world, encountering a true immortal and soaring to great heights. However, do not act impulsively; wait a while before taking action. Remember, curiosity killed the cat, and impulsiveness is the devil."

Liu Heng chatted with him for a few more moments, and seeing that he seemed to have truly let go of the idea of having to apply to a school of cultivation, he left with a sense of relief
