Now, Li Yunlin was already 22 years old. Based on his talent, he should have been a proud prodigy of the Li family.
But life is like a fickle mistress.
This young man, Li Yunlin, had suffered a series of misfortunes. He was forced into self-reflection and cultivation, deprived of spiritual energy, and yet, he managed to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement purely through sheer willpower.
This made Li Wei somewhat admire Li Yunlin's current temperament. He had shed his former arrogance and was now filled with composure and restraint.
"Life can destroy a person, but it can also force them to break out of their cocoon and be reborn."
Li Wei took the opportunity to give Li Yunlin a "Love from the Ancestor" buff, "I hope you strive to move forward."
At this moment, Li Yunlin, who had just stepped out of the Reflection Cliff, also felt a warm current surging through his body.
After five years, he once again felt the encouragement from his ancestor!
He quickly knelt down on one knee and bowed towards the sky. Compared to his excitement five years ago, he was now more composed. "Thank you, Ancestor. After five years of reflection, I understand. Perhaps I shouldn't have come to the Skyveil Sect in the first place, but I have no regrets."
"Where I fall, I will rise again. I will climb back up, step by step, to the very top!"
"I will never let down the expectations of my Ancestor and my family!"
With that said, he silently headed towards the Skyveil Sky Sect.
"..."
Why did those words sound so familiar?
However, Li Wei didn't dwell on it. As long as Li Yunlin didn't do anything to harm the family's interests, Li Wei would support his current decision.
Among the third generation of descendants, only Li Yunlin faced such numerous hardships.
As for the others, Li Wei switched the scene.
At this time, outside Green Valley Village, there was a vast training ground enclosed by a huge wall. This was the special training ground for the children of Green Valley Village nowadays!
These children possessed the bravery inherited from the villagers of Green Valley Village.
Many children were engaged in sparring practice, their punches and kicks landing with real impact.
The children of the Li family also cultivated in this training ground alongside the children of the villagers. According to Li Dalong's philosophy, the Li family's children should grow up together with the children of Green Valley Village, so they can integrate into the village and not become arrogant and indulgent like those spoiled rich kids from outside, thus cultivating the character of the Li family's future generations.
The children of the Li family already had sufficient resources.
If they wanted to earn a place in the gradually expanding Li family's power structure, they needed to gain recognition from the family and its sphere of influence, and integrate themselves into the Li family's power. If they lacked both talent and virtue, and only knew how to waste the family's resources and damage the family's reputation, they would simply be expelled from the family and left to experience the harshness of society.
Li Wei agreed with this approach.
Fortunately, the third generation of the Li family's descendants had received a good education.
"Especially that boy, Li Yunbing."
Li Wei grinned.
He clicked on Li Yunbing's avatar, and the game scene changed.
"Body Refiners draw upon the Qi of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, then channel it through their meridians, breaking through their physical limitations, enduring the pain of flesh and skin!"
"This is the lower realm, where the body becomes like a vine or wood, able to withstand swords and blades!"
"Qi explodes within the flesh and blood, enduring the pain of a thousand needles piercing the body. This is the higher realm!"
"With a body as sturdy as stone, wielding a hundred-pound weapon is effortless."
"When the five viscera and six bowels resonate, and spiritual energy flows freely through the meridians, this is the ultimate realm, where the physical body itself becomes like a low-grade weapon!"
Li Yunbing, though only 13 years old, was already an instructor for the children on the training ground.
His face was still somewhat youthful, as handsome as his elder brother Li Yunlin, but his eyes held an indescribable purity and clarity, and his voice was clear and resonant.
"This method was once known as the 'Wang Family Body Tempering Technique,' and it's a Yellow-grade physical cultivation art. Now, it's practiced by everyone in Green Valley Village, young and old. You must not waste your time and should practice diligently. Those who reach the lower realm will be eligible for a position in the Black Blood Hall upon reaching adulthood."
Among the many children below, some were even two or three years older than Li Yunbing.
However, they looked at Li Yunbing with expressions full of admiration.
A slightly older child asked Li Yunbing with curiosity, "Instructor, what realm have you reached?"
"Auntie told me not to say."
Li Yunbing shook his head sincerely and then started teaching the children to practice body cultivation techniques.
Witnessing this scene, Li Wei's eyes lit up.
"Li Yunbing has great potential to surpass Li Yunlin."
He then opened Li Yunbing's personal information.
