Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  After exchanging these things, Yang Lei's original 1.1 million points were left with only 520,000 points. The remaining 520,000 points do not need to be exchanged for the time being. After all, some points must be reserved in case of unexpected events, and they cannot be completely exchanged. In case something urgent happens again, it's good to have a preventive measure.

  Let's learn the Ice Heart Technique first. Yang Lei thought for a moment, the Ice Heart Technique is generally an auxiliary heart method, which has no effect on the enemy at all, but it is extremely useful and has great help for one's own cultivation. So even if it was 100,000 points of merit value, Yang Lei exchanged it without hesitation.

  "Ding, did the player learn Bing Xin Jue?"

  "Study."

  "Ding, congratulations player on learning Ice Heart Technique."

  The Ice Heart Scripture has a total of twelve layers, and Yang Lei has only cultivated the first layer so far. However, even with just the first layer, Yang Lei gained a lot of benefits. Many things that he didn't understand before in his cultivation became clear, and some things that he couldn't figure out also became apparent, showing that the Ice Heart Scripture is not as simple as it seems.

  Yang Lei's cultivation of the Ice Heart Technique became even more diligent, and in just a few hours, he was able to cultivate it to the fourth layer. However, after reaching the fourth layer, Yang Lei found that he couldn't break through no matter what, so he had no choice but to stop.

  Yang Lei's Ice Heart Technique had only just reached the fourth layer, but compared to before he started cultivating, Yang Lei felt that his spiritual power had almost doubled, or even more than doubled.

  After cultivating the Ice Heart Technique, Yang Lei prepared to use dragon blood to upgrade his qualifications.

  "Ding, is the player using dragon blood?"

  "Yes."

  As soon as the voice fell, a red light appeared and directly entered his body, instantly spreading all over him.

  Right after that, Yang Lei felt a surge of heat flowing into his entire body, and his whole body started to feel extremely hot, causing Yang Lei to feel intense pain.

  Pain, pain, pain.

  This pain is becoming increasingly unbearable.

  Yang Lei clenched his teeth, persisted, only persistence. Yang Lei was clear in his heart that he had to endure this pain, because this pain was the dragon blood taking effect, helping him change his physique and strengthen his body.

  When the pain was severe, Yang Lei began to practice the Ice Heart Technique.

  Ten minutes have passed and the pain has not eased at all.

  Half an hour passed quickly, still the same.

  An hour passed and Yang Lei seemed to have forgotten his pain, entering a rare state of cultivation.

  Two and a half hours later, Yang Lei slowly opened his eyes. The effect of the dragon blood had been fully absorbed, and Yang Lei felt that his whole body was filled with strength. A lot of impurities in his body had also been eliminated, and...his cultivation had once again increased, advancing from Wu Wang fifth stage to Wu Wang sixth stage.

  One word: cool; two words: very cool.

  Dragon Blood is indeed worthy of its name, sixty thousand points well spent.

  Yang Lei examined his own roots and bones, upgraded three stars, from the original five-star to the current eight-star. The eight-star quality is also very good, although it still doesn't reach the level of a genius, Yang Lei is already very satisfied, after all, he knows that his initial root bone was zero, and only by taking the Yi Jing Washing Marrow Pill did his root bone become five, and now it has become eight. As for making his own root bone quality even higher, it's much more difficult.

  After washing away his dirt and grime in a bath, Yang Lei came to the courtyard.

  Eagle Claw Skill, one move and one style, trained up.

  "Ding, Xuan Ying's aura is activated, will you merge?"

  Fusion.

  Yang Lei didn't understand why the mysterious eagle's aura was activated after practicing the Eagle Claw Technique, this mysterious eagle's aura was obtained when he killed Yang Tianlei's eagle at that time, and he had never figured out what its purpose was. Now it seems that it is related to his practice of the Eagle Claw Technique, and it is estimated that it can improve the level of the Eagle Claw Technique.

  "Ding, congratulations player, the aura of Xuan Ying has been fully merged."

  "Ding, congratulations player, the cultivation of Eagle Claw Skill has been upgraded to Earth Stage First Rank."

  He was promoted, Yang Lei was shocked, didn't expect the mysterious eagle's aura to actually promote the Eagle Claw Technique from the Mysterious Stage 6th rank to the Earth Stage, this is a huge watershed, the power increased by several times, of course, the level of the technique also improved, so the difficulty of cultivation naturally increased.

  Yang Lei once again displayed the Eagle Claw Skill, and found that its power had indeed increased several times. As he displayed it, his energy was overflowing, sharp and unmatched. The hard stone table was easily crushed to pieces with a light grasp.

  Now that the Eagle Claw Technique has been upgraded, even in close combat, Yang Lei is not afraid of anyone, of course, this refers to those below the Martial Emperor. Not only did he cultivate the second volume of the Iron Shirt, but also refined the Eagle Claw Technique into a first-class earth-level technique, which greatly enhanced his close combat capabilities. Even a mid-term Martial Emperor may not be able to gain an advantage.

  He had displayed the Down Eagle Claw Skill, and Yang Lie was once again cultivating the Wind Blade Seven Kills. This Wind Blade Seven Kills was Yang Lie's main cultivation skill, and he couldn't afford to neglect it. Now that the Wind Blade Seven Kills had been cultivated to the fourth kill combined, his combat strength could be increased by sixteen times. However, the fifth kill combined still hadn't been grasped. The last time he had displayed the fifth kill combined, he had almost ruined his own cultivation. Now that he had entered the Sixth Stage of Martial King, he should be able to barely display it.

  Standing in the courtyard, Yang Lei closed his eyes and repeatedly practiced the Wind Knife Seven Kills' Five Kills as One in his mind. Suddenly, Yang Lei's eyes snapped open and the Wind Shadow Knife in his hand instantly sprang to life.

  Fengdao Qi Sha's one move and one style were completely brought out from the beginning.

  Wind Blade Cloud Kill, Wind Blade Rain Kill, Wind Blade Snow Kill, Wind Blade Thunder Kill, Wind Blade Fierce Kill, Wind Blade Stealthy Kill, Wind Blade Dark Kill.

  Two killings merge into one, three killings merge into one, four killings merge into one. In the space of a single move and style, it's like clouds flowing with water, completely reaching the realm of perfection.

  Right after finishing the previous moves, Yang Lei didn't stop there, but instead directly entered the fifth kill of the Wind Blade Seven Kills. The air was stirred up, and this move had boundless power, with the surroundings being like a typhoon, shattered stones flying everywhere, and everything in disarray.

  After finishing, sheathing the sword and standing upright.

  Yang Lei finally opened his eyes, and from now on, the fifth kill of Fengdao Qi Sha was fully cultivated.

  With Yang Lei's current strength at the sixth stage of Wu Wang, he can exert 25 times his combat power. He doesn't need to worry about facing the early stages of Wu Huang, and even against mid-stage Wu Huang, he can still fight him.

  "What are you two still doing there, can't you find someone to clean up this place?" Yang Lei saw Xia Zhu and Chun Lan staring blankly at him, and couldn't help but frown and shout.

  "Oh......oh......got it, young master."

  Nowadays, Xia Zhu and Chun Lan, the two maidservants, have been completely subdued by Yang Lei. Both women are intelligent, and with Yang Lei's current qualifications, his future achievements will be boundless. Compared to following Madame Dongfang Caiyu, of course, it is better to choose Yang Lei, a 16-year-old genius, than the Great General's wife, who has no prospects for advancement. Anyone would make this choice.

  As for Xia Zhu and Chun Lan's performance, Yang Lei was also increasingly satisfied, although they couldn't compare to Xiao Yu, at least they could help him with many trivial matters.

  At first, the two women were sent by Dongfang Caoyu to monitor themselves. Yang Lei still had some worries in his heart, but now they also knew what to say and what not to say, so he could naturally feel at ease with his cultivation.

  …………

  The third day early in the morning.

  The seven people who participated in the trial all arrived at the designated location.

  The leading elder is still the great elder Yang Wudi.

  "Kong Huang Dong is a spiritual site of our Yang family, where the spiritual energy is abundant. The better one's innate qualities and foundation, the more benefits they will gain from entering it. As you enter Kong Huang Dong, the deeper you go, the greater the benefits, but also the greater the pressure and danger."

  "Of course, you mustn't think that going deeper is better, this is a matter of life and death. If you can't get out in time, it's very likely you'll die inside."

  "In the Empty Void Cave, try to stay as long as possible, but estimate the time well. Once your spiritual energy is exhausted, it will be a problem to come out. If you can't get out, you will be trapped there forever. So while trying to stay as long as possible, you also need to use your strength wisely and not blindly linger or stubbornly cling on." Yang Wudi looked at the seven people with a very serious tone, "Did all of you understand what I just said?"

  "I understand." The crowd responded in unison.

  "Alright, open the Void Illusion Cave." Yang Wudi waved his hand.

  The two people guarding the Hollow Cave cast a few spells, and the cave door slowly opened.

  Yang Lei was the first to step into the Hollow Cave.

  Yang Lei went in first, followed by Yang Yue, then Yang Qing Shui and finally Yang Xiu Yi.

  As soon as Yang Lei entered the Hollow Cave, he felt a faint pressure, which grew stronger as he went deeper. Trying to circulate the true energy in his body, he found it to be very slow. However, the spiritual energy here was abundant, and with just a slight circulation, a large amount of pure spiritual energy was absorbed into his body.

  Yang Lei found that the deeper he went, the greater the pressure, but the spiritual energy was also thicker.

  However, mental strength is consumed more.

  Yang Lei understood that this empty cave had a rich spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation, but it was extremely consuming of mental strength. If one's mental strength wasn't strong enough and was exhausted, it would definitely be a dead end.

  Yang Lei practiced the Ice Heart Technique, since this place mainly consumed spiritual energy, then cultivating the Ice Heart Technique was the best choice.

  As expected, after operating the Ice Heart Technique, Yang Lue discovered that his spiritual energy consumption slowed down, the pressure gradually disappeared, and soon the Ice Heart Technique entered a state of cultivation.

  Half an hour later, Yang Lei continued to move forward, walking while operating the Ice Heart Technique.

  After walking for a while before dawn, Yang Lei suddenly found himself flashing back in his mind, returning to Earth, and returning to his rental house.

  "Ah Kwai, when are you going to school?" a girl with a clear face, wearing jeans and a white shirt, looked at Yang Kwai.

  "Ah Qing, have you packed your things well? Have Uncle and Aunt agreed?" Yang Lei said, raising his head.

  The woman is her girlfriend Xiao Qing, who met in college and fell in love for three years before meeting their parents. However, Xiao Qing's father was not very satisfied with Yang Lei.

  "En." Xiao Qing nodded shyly, "My parents have agreed to our matter."

  Yang Lei was overjoyed and excitedly grabbed Xiao Qing's arm: "Ah Qing, are you telling the truth?"

  "Of course it's true, you silly fool." Xiao Qing's slender white fingers poked Yang Lei's forehead.

  "I'm too happy." Yang Lei gave Xiao Qing a big hug and spun around in a circle.

  "Let me down quickly, you've made me dizzy!" Xiao Qing laughed happily.

  …………

  Half an hour later, Yang Lei let out a sigh.

  "Disperse——"

  Illusory realm, indeed an illusory realm. If Yang Lui wasn't worried about exhausting his mental strength, he really wouldn't have wanted to wake up from that illusory realm.

  Yang Lei checked his spiritual power and found that it had been greatly consumed.

  Sit cross-legged, operate the Ice Heart Technique, and slowly recover spiritual energy.

  An hour later, Yang Lei opened his eyes, and his spiritual power had fully recovered, with a hint of progress.

  At this time, Yang Lei had already entered the Empty Fantasy Cave for hundreds of meters and had long since left everyone far behind.

  However, Yang Wei did not intend to stop there. The pressure here was not considered great for him, and although his spiritual energy consumption was large, the Ice Heart Technique could completely make up for it.
