Chapter 1: The Embarrassing Crossing

  At the foot of the mountain, a large east-west road runs through the center of Tuanxing Town. In the eastern part of the town, there are more than a dozen thatched cottages scattered along the roadside, which can be said to be the slum area of Tuanxing Town.

  Lin Xiaofeng's ancestral industry is located here, a simple thatched hut, including the three mu of land behind the house.

  Lin Xiaofeng scolded Qin Panlin, fully savoring the great benefits that today's experience had brought to himself, and stepped lightly onto the main road, rushing towards one of the thatched cottages.

  Suddenly, Lin Xiaofeng's footsteps paused, and his eyebrows furrowed.

  In front of the thatched cottage, a thin little girl about ten years old, with patches on her hemp clothes, had a bundle of heavy firewood on her tender shoulders, and her right leg was not very agile, she moved slowly towards the thatched cottage.

  Lin Xiaofeng's heart suddenly felt a pang, he quickly walked over and grabbed the bundle of firewood, saying in a soft but slightly reproachful tone: "Xiaohe, who told you to do such heavy work? Didn't I say so? These heavy tasks are all done by me."

  Lin Xiaohua turned around, a smile on her tender little face, "Brother, I'm already ten years old, I can work now!"

  Lin Xiao Feng helplessly shook his head, grabbed a handful of firewood and strode towards the thatched hut.

  Lin Xiaohuo is the orphan that Lin Xiaofeng's father picked up in Yuelianshan, when Lin Xiaohuo was only five years old, with some disability on his right leg, six years younger than Lin Xiaofeng.

  After their parents passed away, Lin Xiao Feng took on the role of both brother and father to raise Lin Xiao He, and the siblings relied heavily on each other, with a very deep emotional bond.

  "Brother, I picked some mushrooms in the wild this morning and will cook porridge for you today."

  Lin Xiaohes lovely little face is full of intimate smiles.

  Lin Xiaofeng usually goes up the mountain to dig for minerals, earning money to support his family. His younger sister Lin Xiaohua is very sensible and often goes out into the wilderness to pick wild vegetables or gather firewood, making some simple food to fill their bellies.

  "Don't cook anymore, let's go to the tavern in town and have a big meal at noon!"

  Lin Xiaofeng thought of the brother and sister relying on each other for survival, feeling both heartache and some emotion, warmly smiled: "You're not always craving the food in the town's tavern, today we'll have a big meal!"

  "Have a big meal?"

  Lin Xiaohua's pure eyes sparkled with a hint of longing, and she unconsciously licked her small lips. But then she thought of something and frowned like a little adult, saying: "But brother, you don't have much money saved up, let's save some more!"

  "Rest assured, brother guarantees you that from now on, the two of us will soar to great heights and let you live a good life. You'll never have to eat wild vegetables and drink thin soup again! This big meal is our farewell to our previous bitter days!"

  "Really?"

  "Of course!"

  Lin Xiaofeng told his sister to go and tidy herself up, change into some clean clothes. He put the firewood by the door, looked up at the sky, it was still early before noon. He thought of Qingxie's instructions...

  Find a sunny spot to practice? Fresh air?

  My home is empty and simple, sunlight can seep in from every gap, surrounded by fields, it's perfect.

  Lin Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh at himself as he walked into the thatched hut and sat down on the simple wooden bed, immediately thinking about how to cultivate his skills.

  At this moment, the scene in front of him changed again, and Lin Xiaofeng returned to the Beast Blood Castle where Qingyi was.

  Back at the entrance of this ancient castle, Qing Hui still didn't reveal her stunningly beautiful appearance as a young girl, but instead transformed into a green light that led Lin Xiao Feng into the interior of the castle.

  As Lin Xiao Feng stepped into the castle with a bleak atmosphere, he found that everything in sight was destroyed buildings, as if it were some mysterious ancient ruins.

  "Is this Beast Blood Castle real or fake?"

  What a real world, Lin Xiaofeng was extremely surprised, more realistic than the 3D fantasy games he played before.

  "You are currently a soul that has entered the Beast Blood Castle, while your physical body remains outside in a state of sleep. However, your soul can engage in various activities within the castle just like your physical body, such as cultivation, combat, and enlightenment. When you leave the Beast Blood Castle and return to your physical body, it will obtain the same results from your cultivation..."

  Qingxi briefly explained the situation of Beast Blood Castle.

  Lin Xiaofeng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. In other words, cultivating here is just like cultivating outside?"

  "Yes!" Qing Xie gave him a definite answer. "The time concept here is that one day in the Beast Blood Castle is equal to one hour in the outside world!"

  The time here is actually several times that of the outside! Lin Xiaofeng's heart suddenly beat violently, his inner excitement was beyond words. With this, his own cultivation would be twice as effective, far surpassing others!

  "I will now teach you how to temper your flesh, boil your blood and energy, and thoroughly merge the blood vessels of the Golden Mouse Beast, this is a fragment of the Invincible Ten Thousand Beasts Technique."

  As the sound of Qingyi's words fell, a string of characters appeared in Lin Xiaofeng's mind, like a rainbow flowing in and merging with the mysterious existence in his mind, suddenly strengthening his spiritual power and gaining countless information.

  "This Invincible Beast Skill encompasses all things, is the master's painstakingly researched and carefully crafted technique"

  "Invincible Ten Thousand Beast Technique?"

  "Yes, unfortunately, due to the master's demise, this Invincible Beast Technique is now only a fragment. Only the introductory fusion of beast blood, the Labour Bone Blood Formula, the use of beast blood ancient castle to absorb monsters' Na Beast Decision, and the summoning of monsters from the beast blood ancient castle's Huo Beast Formula, among other basic formulas related to monsters, remain. The most important one is the Labour Bone Blood Formula!"

  From here on, Qing Xie didn't say another word. "You practice according to the requirements of the Laborious Bone and Blood Technique from now on! When you've fully grasped the Laborious Bone and Blood Technique and feel like your blood vessels are being burned by fire, violently boiling, and a Beast Ability Crystal forms in your mind, that's when you'll have completely merged with the Small Golden Mouse's bloodline and possess its beast ability."

  Two people arrived at a ruined training ground, the stone slabs on the ground were cracked and sparse, with only a few wooden stakes standing alone, desolate and bleak.

  This world is just like the real one, with a vast sky and scorching sun hanging in the air, and the training grounds are quiet and still.

  Lin Xiao Feng began to cultivate, following the Laborious Bone and Blood Forging Technique's cultivation key, his thin figure constantly darting and jumping on the training grounds, running and lifting weights...

  After several years of hard work in the mining area, Lin Xiaofeng said that although he didn't eat well, fortunately there were a few miners who treated him kindly and usually had enough to eat.

  After the fusion of the Golden Mouse Beast's blood, and Qing Hui using some small tricks on his physical body, Lin Xiao Feng's current physique is not much different from that of his peers, and is even more robust.

  Lin Xiaofeng soon discovered that using the Laborious Bone and Blood Technique to train his physical body was many times more exhausting than doing chores. In less than half a day's time, he was already drenched in sweat and panting heavily!

  If you want to succeed, you must follow the requirements of the Laborious Bone and Blood Formula, exhaust all your physical strength, stimulate your potential, especially stir up the beastly blood in your veins... Lin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and persisted!

  ……

  There is still one more chapter tonight, and I sincerely invite all of you who have passed by to collect it!
