Chapter 2, The Sun's Favorite

"Once the matter is settled, I will naturally return," Li Tianhong replied淡淡地, and then added, "Yan'er, are you aware that the Luoyun Sect will be recruiting outer disciples in six months?"

"By the way, Grandfather, didn't you go to Luoyang City on business? How come you are back so soon?" Li Yan suddenly asked Li Tianhong.

Li Yan experimented and found that under the illumination of that peculiar sunlight, injuries that would normally take several days to heal could essentially recover in just two to three hours. Moreover, as Li Yan continued to bask in that sunlight, the healing speed kept increasing. After discovering this, Li Yan extended his daily training time from four hours to eight hours, effectively doubling it.

Hehe, having broken through to the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, my strength has indeed increased significantly

In such an extreme state, after persisting for another hour, suddenly, Li Yan felt his body involuntarily tremble, followed by a surge of blood and energy rising from within. As this change occurred, Li Yan's spirit was instantly invigorated

Originally, he did not want Li Yan to embark on the path of cultivation, but after growing up, Li Yan insisted on pursuing it. Li Tianhong could only reluctantly agree. Now, seeing that Li Yan has actually reached the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm in just six months, Li Tianhong is genuinely happy and feels a deep sense of joy.

Hey... Li Yan rolled over, pushed off with his feet, and leaped into the air, soaring over a meter high. His body flipped in mid-air, and then he kicked fiercely at a tree trunk as thick as a thigh.

Li Tianhong is very fond of his grandson, but more than that, he feels a deep sense of pity. From the time Li Yan was in his mother's womb, he suffered from congenital deficiencies, and he nearly died at birth. After barely surviving, his body remained extremely weak. Over the years, Li Tianhong has spent a tremendous amount of resources to find various medicinal materials to remedy Li Yan's congenital deficiencies, and only then has his health begun to improve gradually

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, as if something within him had come to life. Upon waking, he sensed that the sunlight shining down from the sky seemed different, and it was only the sunlight that illuminated him that appeared particularly bright, as if it were being drawn down by something within him. More remarkably, under the radiance of that sunlight, no matter what injuries Li Yan had sustained, they would heal very quickly, exceptionally quickly! It was precisely for this reason that Li Yan dared to train so recklessly every day.

Regardless of how exhausted Li Yan felt after his training, as long as he could take a short nap under the sun, he would immediately feel invigorated. That sensation was akin to having taken a powerful tonic, and even more so, it was an enhanced version, significantly boosting his vitality

Of course I know that the Falling Cloud Sect only publicly recruits outer disciples once every five years. This is the most significant event in the entire northern region of the Western Frontier, how could I possibly be unaware of it

Hoo ~ Hoo ~

Well then, if I give you an opportunity to enter the Falling Cloud Sect, would you dare to give it a try

In the early morning, the sun slowly rises in the east, and the gentle sunlight gradually envelops this secluded forest. Li Yan lies on a patch of open ground, drenched in sweat, gazing at the sunlight that is gradually shining down, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth

The entire body is automatically invigorated, which is a sign of a breakthrough in the third level of body refinement

After breaking through to the fourth level of the Tempering Body Realm, Li Yan could clearly feel that his body had become much stronger compared to before the breakthrough. In particular, he could distinctly sense the increase in the strength of his flesh and blood, realizing that his current power was at least twice as strong as it had been before.

The cultivation of the Body Refinement Realm primarily depends on one's diligence and the intensity of the training. The results you have achieved are entirely the result of your relentless efforts day and night during this period, and have little to do with us said Li Tianhong, looking at Lin Dong with a smile on his face

Ah, how comfortable! After all the injuries on his body disappeared, Li Yan sat up from the ground, letting out a comfortable moan. He then raised his head and shouted towards the sun hanging obliquely in the sky: Thank you, beautiful sister sun

After three hours, Li Yan once again lay on the ground. He felt that his body was nearing its limit, and the feeling of exhaustion made him somewhat dizzy. After resting for a quarter of an hour, Li Yan gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing.

That is all due to the wise teachings of my grandfather and uncle

As Li Yan was joyfully celebrating his elevation in realm, a series of applause suddenly came from the side. He quickly turned his head and saw an elderly man, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, standing under a large tree, smiling at him.

Li Yan only became aware of his special sensitivity to the sun after he embarked on the path of cultivation. Due to his frail health since childhood, he would faint with any intense physical activity. At that time, he experienced this as well, having collapsed under the sun after cultivating, his body covered in bruises, illuminated by the sunlight.

Grandfather!" Looking at the old man standing by the tree, Li Yan also exclaimed in surprise. This old man is none other than Li Yan's grandfather, who is also the current head of the Li family, Li Tianhong

Hehe! Li Tianhong nodded, approached Li Yan, and scanned him up and down with his gaze. A kind smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said: "In just one month's time, you have progressed from the third level of body refinement to the fourth level. Not bad, very good."

In the sky, a beam of noticeably brighter sunlight fell, precisely landing on Li Yan. Bathed in this sunlight, the patches of redness and swelling on Li Yan's body were astonishingly recovering at an incredible speed. In less than half an hour, Li Yan's entire body had become clean and fair, with not a trace of injury remaining.

"So, do you want to participate as well?" Li Tianhong suddenly broke into a mysterious smile and asked

Haha, finally reached the fourth level! After the blood energy in his body calmed down, Li Yan immediately shouted with excitement. It must be said that during the Body Refinement stage, high-intensity training can indeed yield significant results

Hehe!" Li Yan chuckled softly. Although the hard training during this period was quite arduous, he has finally made considerable progress. Moreover, with the identity of the sun sister's illegitimate child, he can be said to be both pained and joyful.

However, Li Yan did not tell anyone about the special care the sun in the sky had for him. Even if he were to speak of it, it is likely that no one would believe him. He had tried to share this experience and found that when others were present, the sun would not show him any special care. At times, Li Yan even doubted whether he was the illegitimate child of that sun, the kind that could not be seen in the light.

Knock, knock, knock! After a surge of energy and blood within his body, Li Yan seemed to clearly hear his heart beating rapidly. Immediately afterward, a refreshing sensation erupted from his heart and spread throughout his entire body, reaching all his limbs and bones

Roaring with energy and in high spirits, Li Yan jumped up from the ground. He found some food in the forest, and after filling his stomach, he continued with the arduous and monotonous practice.

Originally, an ordinary martial artist at this level would require at least two to three months to achieve a breakthrough. Although Li Yan reached the third level of body refinement in just one month, during this month, the time and intensity of his training were at least two to three times greater than that of others. Therefore, such speed was both beyond Li Yan's expectations and within the realm of possibility.

With a snap, the tree, as thick as a thigh, broke under the kick. Li Yan rolled and fell to the ground, his palm clenched tightly, feeling the power that surged through his muscles as they relaxed, his face filled with delight.

A gentle ray of sunlight shone upon Li Yan, who immediately let out a comfortable moan from his throat. If there were anyone nearby witnessing this scene unfolding with Li Yan, they would surely be left dumbfounded

Of course, I want to. The Falling Cloud Sect is one of the eight most powerful sects in the entire Western Frontier, with countless profound techniques and martial arts. In the entire Western Frontier, there are probably very few families like ours that do not wish to enter such a sect
