It was midwinter, and the wind was biting on the mountain, but the four of them stood on the top without any fear, as if they were exiled immortals.

Father Jiang suddenly sighed, "We are in trouble."

Mei Mei's beautiful eyes were cold and fierce, "Did anyone else know about the existence of the medicine?"

Mother Jiang shook her head, "That's not the case. We did it so secretly, how could anyone know? The problem lies with Jiang Yao himself."

"What's wrong with him?" Mei Mei immediately showed a look of great concern. If you don't know, you would think she has a deep affection for Jiang Yao.

Father Jiang frowned and said, "Jiang Yao is already seventeen years old. According to the records in ancient books, the medicine spirit body begins to awaken when the bone age reaches seventeen. But I checked his spirit platform this morning, and I couldn't sense any breath of the medicine spirit. In other words, his medicine spirit is still sleeping."

"What? This..." Mei Mei's face suddenly became ugly, "Could it be that we are wrong, he is not a medicine spirit body?"

Father Jiang shook his head, "That's not the case. How could someone who has been personally checked by Master Hun be wrong? With Master Hun's profound knowledge and magical powers, there is no way he could be wrong."

"The medicine spirit body is one in a billion, and most real people have never heard of the medicine spirit body. The ancient records about the medicine spirit body are not seen by ordinary people. If even a figure like Master Hun can make mistakes, then who else in the world can discover the medicine spirit body?"

Mother Jiang also said, "This is very true. Master Hun is such a brilliant person, how could he have made mistakes? Besides, Master Hun also has a treasure pill, how could he be careless and make a mistake?"

Mei Mei quickly defended herself: "I didn't mean to question Master Hun, please don't misunderstand me." She was very wary of Master Hun in her words.

"But, since Jiang Yao must be the medicine lead, why hasn't the medicine spirit awakened after being seventeen years old?"

The girl was very unhappy.

If there was a problem with the medicine lead, how could she refine the precious pill? Wouldn't all these years of feelings be wasted and go down the drain?

Father Jiang said, "Master Hun once told my father that there are two obstacles to the Medicine Spirit before the age of eighteen. One is that the soul may be scattered at the age of nine. The second is that the Medicine Spirit has not awakened at the age of seventeen."

"We passed the first level. Jiang Yao suddenly fell ill at the age of nine, and there was indeed a danger of his soul dissipating. This level is actually the most dangerous, but Master Hun said that we can only leave it to fate. Fortunately, Jiang Yao is still very hardworking, and he survived the nine-year-old level."

Mother Jiang smiled and lifted her hair, "Yao'er is indeed a hardworking child."

Father Jiang continued, "Master Hun once told my father the solution to this second level. It is to teach Jiang Yao to practice the exercises, open up his nine profound veins, and let him become a martial artist. Once he becomes a martial artist, the Medicine Spirit will be awakened immediately."

"The cultivation aptitude of the Medicine Spirit must be good. As long as we work together, we can make him a martial artist within a year. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted."

Mei Mei frowned, "We have all been practicing martial arts since childhood. Everything is ready, and the qualifications are all above Grade B, but we cannot become martial artists without three to five years. If Jiang Yao wants to become a martial artist within a year..."

"Don't worry. I understand this better than you, after all, I am older than you." Jiang's father said confidently, "As long as the four of us teach him our own skills carefully, and then help him open his profound veins together, he will definitely become a martial artist within a year."

"If we only teach one skill, it is almost impossible for him to become a martial artist within a year. To be on the safe side, we force all four skills into him."

"To put it bluntly, this method is to force growth, which is not conducive to future cultivation. The collapse of the Tao foundation is inevitable. However, he doesn't have to worry about the collapse of the Tao foundation. After a year, he will be dead, so how can the Tao foundation collapse?"

Mei Mei smiled sweetly: "If it can be accomplished within a year, it would be a good idea. However, this kid is not stupid at all. If we suddenly teach him martial arts, he will definitely doubt his life experience and our origins, which is not conducive to the perfection of the three emotions. We have to make up a story."

"We have already made up the story." Jiang's mother smiled, "Let's say that we brought Jiang Cai, you, and Jiang Yao from the distant Central Region to the Southern Region to avoid our enemies. Because the enemy is too powerful, we dare not reveal our identity as martial artists, so we have to hide among mortals and endure humiliation as serfs."

"I didn't teach him martial arts before because I hoped he would live an ordinary life, because martial arts is too easy to be exposed. Now I changed my mind to teach him because I am worried that the enemy will come one day and he will have no chance to escape."

Mei Mei nodded: "Then let's put him off like this."

Father Jiang reminded: "We have to work hard for another year. It is very important that the three emotions of the medicine lead are perfect. We must not let that kid find out that the three emotions are false. Once everything goes wrong, my father will not forgive me, and your father will not forgive you either."

In fact, there is a very inconspicuous but fatal loophole in the reasons made by several people. However, they thought that to deal with a mortal boy, there is no need to make the story too round.

This is a contempt and indifference to mortals from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as they don't practice martial arts, the medicine spirit body is also a mortal. The medicine spirit body is indeed a physique that is one in a billion, but it does not mean that the medicine spirit body can be born with strength. The martial arts qualifications of the medicine spirit body are not necessarily stronger than other martial arts practitioners.

After the four people discussed, they immediately decided to teach Jiang Yao to practice martial arts the next day.

Of course, in order to be on the safe side, combat skills will never be taught, and weapons cannot be given. Only the martial arts skills will be taught, and he can enter the threshold of martial arts practice.

…………

Early the next morning, Jiang Yao and his father Jiang Qiao went to the manor in the cold wind to shovel snow for the crops. The snow was too thick and the crops were easily crushed to death. If this happened, not only would there be no food to eat next year, but the spiritual grain tax could not be paid, and the family would be finished.

There were many serfs who were killed by Master Wu Xiu because they could not pay the spiritual grain due to natural disasters.

In the huge manor, there were already thousands of serfs, shoveling snow with shovels, busy and hard. They worked silently in the cold wind, and everyone had a sad face.

This manor belonged to Master Xiang Rang.

The land within a radius of 500 miles was all the fiefdom of Master Xiang Rang. The hundreds of thousands of mortals in this radius of 500 miles were all slaves of Master Xiang Rang.

Jiang Yao, who had been here for eight years, had already found out that the so-called Master Xiang Rang was not only a very powerful martial arts master, but also a retainer of Lord Li Shanjun. This fiefdom was awarded to Master Xiang Rang by Lord Li Shanjun.

So who was Lord Li Shanjun?

That was a god-like figure.

The serfs didn't even dare to mention the three words "Li Shanjun", for fear of a one in ten thousand chance of offending Li Shanjun.

Li Shanjun was the leader of the Lishan tribe. In Jiang Yao's understanding, he was actually a tribal leader.

However, this tribe was too big. The surrounding area of ​​10,000 miles was the territory of the Lishan tribe. It can be said that Jiang Yao was both a serf of Lord Xiang Rang and a serf of Lord Li Shanjun.

Of course, he had never seen Li Shanjun, and even Lord Xiang Rang had no chance to see him. Not to mention him, most of the older serfs had never seen Lord Xiang Rang.

The few old serfs who had seen Lord Xiang Rang said that Lord Xiang Rang had lived for more than 800 years, but he was still very young and very impressive. He was really a god.

The warriors under Lord Xiang Rang were the ones who usually came to patrol the manor.

It is said that Lord Xiang Rang had an army of hundreds of warriors.

An army of hundreds of warriors is terrifying to think about.
