It rained continuously, the willow trees drooped, and the dusk of the Donghua Prefecture's Gushui Town was immersed in a desolate of darkness.
The town was quite large. In the easternmost area, there was a huge manor. It was the residence of the Han family, the largest family in Gushui Town., There were dozens of various sizes compounds in the manor, which connected by a winding corridor. If one were to look down from above, it would appear impressive!
At this moment, in a courtyard of the Han family, a room were brightly lit!
"On the Eternal Heaven Continent, there are many different factions. Amongst them, the Dou Cultivation faction is the most sought after! Regardless of number or strength, the Dou Cultivation faction is not something that other factions can be compared to in any country!"
Under the rain curtain, the decoration of the room was extremely exquisite. All the luxurious furniture was shiny under the light. In the glowing light, an old man sat on the opposite side of a big bed through a brocade curtain. His face was slightly sad and dignified.
Through the curtain, a youth was curled up on the bed, his back facing the old man.
"Third Young Lord, the nine layers of Cultivations are divided into the First Realm of Physique, the Second Realm of Mind, the Third Realm of Vitality, the Fourth Realm of Qi, the Fifth Realm of Condensation, the Sixth Realm of Forming, the Seventh Realm of Harvest, the Eighth Realm of Breakthrough, and the Ninth Realm of Ksana! After the Ninth Realm of Ksana, it will be the the Ksana Cultivation the Ksana Cultivation Realm. There will be divided into three layers, and the gap between them will be huge! After that, it will be the strongest existence, known as...."
As if introducing or explaining something, the old man's gaze towards the curtain was filled with regret and unwillingness. Towards the end, his voice gradually became softer as he hesitated.
At this moment, a young man's voice rang out from behind the curtain. He softly asked, "Uncle Tong, are you leaving today for real?"
Hearing this, the old man called Uncle Tong appeared even more sorrowful. He couldn't bear to lower his head and shut his eyes, saying, "Third Young Lord, forgive Uncle Tong! Uncle Tong is incompetent. I can no longer teach Young Lord any combat Tactics!"
This old man was the Han family's young lord Han's teacher, in charge of guiding the third young lord in comprehending and cultivating Dou Cultivation.
This Third Young Lord of the Han clan was called Han Lin. He originally possessed outstanding talent, intelligence, and a healthy body. When he was five years old, he had obtained a unique first strand of Dou Qi that was unique to his Dou Qi cultivation through self-enlightenment and the help of the elders in his family. He had successfully reached the first level of the First Realm of Physique
A body refiner as First Realm of Physique at such a young age had once become the pride and joy of the Han Clan!
It was to the extent that some of the big clans near Gushui Town started to treat the Han Clan with special respect due to the Han Clan's child.
For this reason, the Han Clan had resolved to use the entire clan to nurture this Young Lord. They spared no expense to invite this old man — a Sixth Realm of Forming Cultivation, Tong Dali!
The Han family had invited him over in the hopes that Tong Dali would be able to help their Young Lord break through the first barrier in the cultivation world –the Third Realm of Vitality!
After all, in the nine levels of Dou Cultivation, the first level trained the fleshly body and bones, whereas the second level trained the tendons, veins and blood vessels. Once both reached a certain level, then one had to break through the bottleneck to attain the Third Realm of Vitality!
This sort of breakthrough was a process of quantitative change to qualitative change!
Only after reaching The Third Realm "Yuan" could the Dou Qi within one's body give birth to true Dou Qi, and one would be able to obtain the ability to transfer Dou Qi from the world's essence and the surrounding mediums!
That was why only those at the Third Realm of Vitality could be considered as true Dou Cultivation.
In order to teach Han Lin, Tong Dali had originally come full of confidence. It was a pity that he was already discouraged!
From the age of six, no matter how hard he tried to teach Han Lin, no matter how hard Han Lin practiced, every time Han Lin reached the Second Realm of Mind, his strength would drop sharply. Without any warning, he would return to the First Realm of Physique.
The first time, Uncle Tong and all the people of the Han family mistakenly thought that Han Lin had made a mistake when breaking through the bottleneck, which caused his realm to fall.
The second time, the Han family invited another five experts at the Fifth Realm of Condensation to guide and protect Han Lin. Unexpectedly, the result was the same as the first time. Han Lin's strength failed to break through and fell again...
What's more, from the age of seven to the age of eight, he had fallen five times!
This made all the members of the Han family and the citizens of the Gushui Town feel incredible. Many of them thought that this was his fate—Han Lin could only become a Dou Cultivation of the Second Realm of Mind!
And now, Tong Dali was leaving as well!
Uncle Tong sat upright with his head lowered. He seemed unwilling to let Han Lin see his unwillingness and regret.
But in the next moment, a white-clothed youth gently lifted the curtain and slowly walked out.
He was about 14 or 15 years old. His handsome face had a straight nose, sword-shaped eyebrows, and starry eyes. His eyes were shining, and there was a sense of experience that did not match his age.
He was none other than Han Lin!
Walking out, Han Lin walked straight to the side, carefully poured a pot of tea, and then slowly filled the cup with both hands and walked to Tong Dali.
Tong Dali frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Dong. There was unknown anticipation in his eyes...
"Master!"
Walking to Tong Dali, Han Lin slowly lowered his head and raised the teacup above his head!
Seeing this, Tong Dali's heart swelled with a sense of urgency, and he hurriedly stood up, stretching out both hands as he attempted to help Han Lin up, "Young Lord, you can't do this. Even though we're master and disciple in name, Uncle Tong has only done what he has to do and take the money. Once Uncle Tong leaves, Young Lord you must look for another reputable master. You must look for a renowned master...it's Uncle Tong's incompetence...useless!"
However, no matter how much he tried to change his mind, Han Lin continued to press on, "Since we're master and disciple in name, Uncle Tong is naturally my master! A master for one day is a father for life. Since master is leaving, can't you drink a cup of tea from your disciple?"
"Young lord..."
Tong Dali trembled as he stretched out his hands upon hearing this, and then he received the teacup before drinking it in one gulp!
At the same time, the scenes of him getting along with Han Lin over the years flashed through his mind.
Tong Dali knew in his heart that he was a businessman in the Han family – he sold his experiences, sword arts and combat skills in Dou Cultivation, while the people from the Han family were his customers. Apart from that, there was no deeper friendship between them.
Even the Han family head never allowed Han Lin to address Tong Dali as master!
Especially in the next two years, when Tong Dali was still unable to help Han Lin break through the bottleneck, the Han family had already treated Tong Dali coldly.
Only Young Lord Han Lin had always treated him as a senior, and only he had always been reverent and respectful towards Tong Dali, and had never changed!
Tong Dali was going to say goodbye today. He was going to teach Han Lin one last lesson and introduce some simple common sense, but now, seeing that Han Lin's shoulders were slightly trembling, Tong Dali looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
He could no longer lecture on the last lesson!
Since that was the case, you will leave no matter what. Why not leave earlier?
Having made up his mind, Tong Dali hold back his tears, turned around, and left, "Young Lord, Tong Dali will take his leave now!"
This time, the footsteps in the courtyard were extremely lonely, but deep, as if they were stepping on Han Lin's heart!
"Master..."
Looking at the lonely figure through the window, Han Lin didn't hide the sadness on his face—Tong Dali was one of the few people who were sincere to him.
But very soon, the sadness on his face faded, replaced by a slight smile, "Master, Han Lin will personally invite you back a year later..."
This sentence could only be uttered within Han Lin's heart!
"One more year!"
After muttering to himself, Han Lin gently turned off the lights in the room, closed the door, and walked along a corridor to a small building in the distance.
This building was the Han family's library! There were many poems and music scores in it. There were also many literature and history books. However, in order to help him cultivate in the Dou Cultivation lineage, there were also books related to the Dou Cultivation lineage's fist arts and sword arts.
Walking in, Han Lin went straight to the top floor of the small building. The books here were all about the Battle cultivation Faction.
"This Space ring is not bad. It is a fist Tactic that can be cultivated at the Fourth realm Qi. However, this fist Tactic is more offensive than defensive, so there is no need to learn it!"
Eight Destruction Palm, as its name implies, is a palm Tactic that can be cultivated at the Fifth realm "Qi". Once one is familiar with it, a single palm can blast out 8 gusts of wind, increasing the intensity... It's a pity that if I were to use this palm Tactic, it would consume too much of my Dou Qi. Thus, it's good to start learning it, but you must practice it cautiously!"
"Nine Swords Tactic..."
Han Lin flipped through some books and scrolls that he had yet to come into contact with, and finally, his gaze fell upon a book, the 'Nine Swords Tactic'.
After giving it a cursory glance, a faint smile appeared on Han Lin's face, "The Nine Swords Tactic has many similarities with the sword cultivation that I practiced in my previous life... Okay, I'll choose it!"
In his previous life!
Fortunately, that he said this to himself in a low voice. If others heard it, they would think that the third Young Lord of the Han family was either stupid or crazy.
After all, who on this continent would believe in a previous life or a cycle of reincarnation?
However, Han Lin knew very well in his heart that his surname was not Han! He remembered that he was originally a Sword Cultivation from another world, but after a huge accident, he woke up and became the Han family's five-year-old Third Young Lord...
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, when Han Lin put away the Nine Swords Tactic, there was a sudden cough behind him, and then a slender but still giant figure completely shrouded Han Lin.
