Chapter 4 Monster Mountain Range

In Fenghuo City, the Lu family is a truly powerful family, unmatched by any other family. 

The Li family was originally an unknown small family in Fenghuo City. Later, due to Li Ping's marriage to the then head of the Lu family, Lu Yuntian, the Li family relied on the power of the Lu family to rise rapidly and continuously strengthen their strength.

Lu Ming remembers that at that time, the Li family treated Li Ping and him very well.

But later on, after the incident with Lu Yuntian, the attitude of the Li family towards their mother and son changed, especially after the passing of Lu Ming's grandfather, when his uncle took over the Lu family, they became increasingly distant and even ignored their mother and son.

Human emotions are cold and warm, this is reality.

Li family, in the courtyard.

Li Ping knelt there, trembling slightly all over.

Surrounded by many children of the Li family, pointing and pointing.

Above the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a big belly looked coldly at Li Ping and said, "Little sister, when are you going to kneel? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

He is Li Ping's big brother, Li Fu.

"Big brother, I beg you. Ming'er has finally cultivated true qi. He is your own nephew, so you can give him one or two martial arts techniques!"

Li Ping pleaded with tearful eyes.

"Little sister, let me say something you don't like to hear. Lu Ming has been weak and sickly since childhood, and he can't awaken his bloodline. Even if he manages to cultivate a trace of true qi by chance, what's the use? There won't be any achievements in the future, so it's better to live this life as an ordinary person with peace of mind."

"And I'll tell you, Elder Lu has already gotten angry with me and asked me to position myself properly. I'm also in a difficult position, little sister. If I help you, I'll offend Elder Lu."

Li Fu said lightly.

"Big brother, please. I don't want Ming'er to have any great achievements. As long as she can become a martial artist and strengthen her body, she will be satisfied. Big brother, I promise this is the last time I beg you, and I will never make big brother difficult in the future." Li Ping continued to plead.

Li Fu frowned and pondered for a moment. He took out a book and threw it in front of Li Ping, saying, "Considering the long-standing relationship between siblings, let's take this book 'Three Slashes of the Sword'. Although it's not mainstream, it's enough for Lu Ming to use. Don't bother me again in the future."

"Mother!"

At this moment, Lu Ming and Autumn Moon arrived.

Lu Ming lifted Li Ping and felt her body tremble slightly, obviously due to prolonged kneeling.

"Ming'er, don't you thank your uncle yet?" Li Ping gave Li Fu a deep look and said to Lu Ming.

"Thank him?"

Lu Ming's chest was filled with anger as he said, "No need for their charity, Mom, let's go back."

Lu Ming didn't even look at that martial arts book, he supported Li Ping and left the Li family.

"I don't care about my face, I just took a chance to cultivate a trace of true qi. I really consider myself a genius."

"It's just a waste."

All the children of the Li family laughed coldly.

Lu Ming ignored these people, lacked strength, and said nothing was useless. He talked too much, but instead made the other party look down upon him even more.

But Lu Ming swore that one day, he would use facts to make these people all shut up.

After leaving the Li family, Li Ping sighed and said, "Ming'er, you're too impulsive. That's a martial arts skill. As long as you can become a martial artist, even if you suffer too much, it's still worth it."

Lu Ming stood straight like a divine sword, with a very firm gaze, and said, "Mother, even without the charity of the Li family, I can definitely become a martial artist, and I am still a strong martial artist!"

After returning to his residence, Lu Ming entered the Supreme Temple and started practicing even harder.

After completing the practice of "Flame Dragon Fist" once, Lu Ming began to practice "Dragon and Snake Steps".

"Dragon and Snake Steps" is a body technique and martial arts technique that is very mysterious. After cultivation, it moves like a dragon or snake, moving rapidly like lightning.

With the help of chanting sutras in the palace, Lu Ming made rapid progress.

After practicing twice, I finally got my first glimpse of the path.

Shua! Shua!

Lu Ming twisted his body, like a dragon or a snake. With a twist in his waist, he took a step and reached a distance of over three meters.

A distance of over three meters is one zhang.

"Dragon and Snake Steps reach the first level, where you can see the path for the first time. In one step, you can reach a distance of one zhang. In the second level, if you step out, you can reach two zhang. In the future, every time you break through a level, you can increase the distance by one zhang. I still have a long way to go, continue."

Next, under the arduous cultivation of Lu Ming, the past ten days have passed.

In the past ten days, Lu Ming has consecutively connected two more meridians, reaching the peak of the middle stage of meridian connection.

The biggest gain is in martial arts.

Both "Yanlong Fist" and "Dragon and Snake Steps" have reached the third level of cultivation and are well integrated.

"The cultivation of true qi is still too slow. If we continue like this, we don't know when it will take to open up the three divine meridians."

Lu Ming began to ponder.

To quickly open up meridians, condense cyclones, and enter the warrior realm, it is necessary to have a large amount of Dragon and Tiger Pills.

But the Dragon and Tiger Pill costs one hundred taels of silver, and he can be said to be penniless.

"Now I have reached the peak of the middle stage of meridian communication, and I have also cultivated two martial arts skills to 'integrate and integrate'. I have gained some self-protection power, so it's time to try my luck in the Monster Mountain Range."

The Monster Mountain Range is a huge mountain range located fifty miles away from the Wind and Fire City, with a range of several hundred miles and towering ancient trees.

In the mountains, there are many spiritual medicines that attract a large number of warriors from Fenghuo City to search for them.

Of course, opportunities often come with risks. In the mountains, there are a large number of fierce beasts, and even more powerful monster beasts appear. Every year, many warriors die at the mouth of the monster beasts.

Lu Ming didn't want to go deep into the Monster Mountain Range, he just wanted to try his luck outside the mountain range and hone his martial arts skills.

After finding an excuse and talking to Li Ping, Lu Ming headed towards the Monster Mountain Range.

Two hours later, Lu Ming arrived at the foot of the Monster Mountain Range and looked up. The Monster Mountain Range was like a giant beast, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming rushed into the Monster Mountain Range.

Roar!

Just a few miles into the area, a fierce beast rushed towards Lu Ming.

This is a hanging neck white haired tiger, over one meter tall and three meters long. Before it arrived, a fierce aura rushed towards its face.

Lu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, took a deep breath, and his body swayed to one side. Then, his true energy moved, starting from his feet and reaching his waist and spine, driving the strength of his whole body, and he punched out.

Yanlong Fist.

Touch!

This punch hit the fierce tiger's neck heavily.

The power erupted, and the fierce tiger was directly thrown out by the roar.

Roar!

The fierce tiger felt pain and became even more fierce, roaring towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming used his dragon and snake steps, twisting his body to avoid the tiger's attack. Then he hit the tiger's waist with his Flame Dragon Fist. The fierce tiger was knocked out again.

Lu Ming practiced the divine level technique "Battle Dragon True Technique", and the true qi he cultivated flowed through the meridians like a dragon, with extremely strong explosive power.

Although Lu Ming's cultivation is at the peak of the middle stage of the Tongmai period, his explosive power is by no means comparable to the average peak of the middle stage of the Tongmai period.

Combined with the Flame Dragon Fist, now the power of Lu Ming's punch is at least nearly a thousand pounds.

The fierce tiger was hit by Lu Ming twice in a row and was seriously injured, with blood dripping from its mouth.

At this moment, with a roar, he turned around and ran away.

Lu Ming was relentlessly pursuing.

A few minutes later, the fierce tiger escaped into a cave, and after a moment of hesitation, Lu Ming chased after it.

Entering the cave, I found a fierce tiger lying in the cave, constantly bleeding from its mouth, already on the brink of death.

"Huh? That's the first level inferior spiritual medicine Silver Bell Grass!"

Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes lit up. In a crevice in the cave, he saw a spirit grass with nine leaves, each of which resembled a bell.

Lingcao is divided into nine levels, each of which is further divided into: inferior, intermediate, and superior.

The first level lower grade Silver Bell Grass contains a huge amount of spiritual energy, worth three hundred taels of silver, comparable to three Dragon and Tiger Pills.

I didn't expect to have this harvest shortly after entering the Monster Mountain Range. This trip is not a waste.

Continuing with a punch, the fierce tiger was completely defeated, and then Lu Ming took out a prepared backpack, took off the Silver Bell Grass, and put it into the backpack.

"Feng, do you really know a small path that leads to the old nest of the Sand Snake Thief?"

Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside the cave.
