Chapter 001 Deadly Cherry

The Jiangzuo area was under the rule of the Dawu Dynasty, and there were four major prefectures and states: Lujiang, Hongdu, Wuyang, and Fengming.

In the Lujiang prefecture and state, there was a majestic city called Ding'an City. In this city, there was a powerful family called the Ding'an Lu family.

It was April, the spring was bright and the grass was long and the warblers were flying.

In the Lu family martial arts arena, a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys were waving their swords and sweating profusely.

Coach Lu Yongfu looked at these energetic boys and nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, a figure passed by the side of the martial arts arena.

The man was also sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face and bright eyes.

But his lazy posture was out of tune with the atmosphere of the martial arts arena.

Lu Yongfu frowned.

"Master Yu, are you going out again today?"

The handsome boy, named Lu Yu, was the young master of the third room of the Lu family.

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Fu. The weather is so good, I'll go to the Pear Garden."

"The four counties' martial arts competition will be held next month. Master Yu must practice hard and try to go out less!"

Lu Yu nodded and said seriously, "Uncle Fu, I know, I know it."

Lu Yongfu didn't know what to say. Looking at Lu Yu's back as he left, he sighed in his heart.

The Lu family has four branches. Since the death of Master Lu San in Mingjian City, Lu Yu is the only one left in the third branch.

Originally, Lu Yu was also a genius in cultivation. He awakened his spiritual veins at the age of four, opened up the acupoints all over his body at the age of nine, and entered the sixth level of the physical realm at the age of twelve.

In today's world, there are five major realms of cultivation, the physical realm, the true essence realm, the return to the sea realm, the golden elixir realm, and the Tiangang realm.

At the age of twelve, Lu Yu entered the sixth level of the physical realm. This talent can be said to be extremely outstanding, and his future prospects are limitless.

The family therefore placed high hopes on him and spent a lot of resources to get him a Wuji Heart Pill, hoping that he would soar to the sky.

But who knew that after taking this Wuji Heart Pill, he was not strong enough, and his cultivation did not improve at all. Until now, he is still at the sixth level of the physical realm, surpassed by many later disciples.

There have been many complaints in the Lu family about this, and some people have been asking the third branch to compensate for the loss of purchasing the Wuji Heart Pill.

If the third branch does not get a good ranking in this four-county martial arts competition, I am afraid that the third branch of the Lu family will no longer exist.

In the martial arts arena, a group of young people also started to discuss.

"This Lu Yu is really unmotivated. He still wants to go out to play at this time!"

"He must have gone to the Pear Garden to find Miss Buyi again."

"Miss Buyi is the daughter of the Bu family. She is excellent in both talent and appearance. Now she has reached the ninth level of the physical realm. Lu Yu actually wants to take advantage of her. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

"If Lu Yu gets the last place in the four counties' martial arts competition this year, I wonder if Miss Buyi will still care about him?"

"For so many years, his cultivation has been stuck at the sixth level of the physical realm. Even after taking the Wuji Heart Pill, he has not made any progress. He is really useless..."

"In the internal competition of the family last year, he had already lost to many disciples and lost the face of the third house. If he still participates in the four counties' martial arts competition this year, wouldn't it be embarrassing!"

"It's a pity for the Wuji Heart Pill. If If it was given to other people at that time, maybe our Lu family would have had another genius like Xiang Chen! "

"Xiang Chen, the son of the county governor, is said to have a talent not as good as Lu Yu back then, but after taking the Wuji Heart Pill, his cultivation speed has greatly improved. It is said that he is about to break through the Zhenyuan realm. This year's four-county martial arts competition will definitely win the first place for our Lujiang County."

"That may not be the case. I heard that there are many abnormal geniuses in the other three counties..."

"They all took the Wuji Heart Pill, but Lu Yu is far behind..."

...

Lu Yongfu suddenly shouted: "Shut up! Just mind your own business! The four-county martial arts competition is about to be held. If you want to get more rewards and subsidies, practice hard!"

A group of young people suddenly fell silent and started practicing hard again.

...

Inside the pear garden, pear blossoms are in full bloom, and the whole garden is full of fragrance.

Lu Yu held a long sword and swung it out, bringing gusts of breeze, blowing a tree of pear blossoms in the garden down.

Under the pear tree stood a bright girl, whose beauty was not as beautiful as the pear blossoms in the garden.

"This move is the Flying Star Spreading Hate. Have you learned it?"

Lu Yu smiled and turned back, saying to the bright girl under the pear tree.

This girl was Bu Yi, the daughter of the Bu family.

She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was recalling the sword move just now. After a moment, she nodded gently.

Lu Yu handed the long sword to her.

"Then you try it."

Bu Yi took the long sword and unfolded the sword move according to Lu Yu's example.

With a swing of the sword, a few dots of starlight appeared.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A bright hole was pierced through the trunk of the pear tree by her sword.

The same sword move had very different power in the hands of the two.

Bu Yi turned back and looked at Lu Yu proudly: "How is it?"

Lu Yu exclaimed: "Sister Yi, your talent is so amazing. You can have such power in your first use!"

Bu Yi smiled sweetly: "It's all because of Brother Yu's good teaching!"

Lu Yu also laughed happily.

"In this way, you have learned the whole set of Tianxing Sword Technique. Sister Yi, do you think... will your father really agree to our marriage?"

"Of course!" Bu Yi said as a matter of course, "You have passed on the Tianxing Sword Technique to me. This is the secret skill of your Lu family's third branch. Brother Yu is so good to me, and my father will definitely agree to our marriage!"

Lu Yu said excitedly: "Okay! Tomorrow I will ask the elders of the clan to go to your father's house to help me propose marriage! By then, you will be a member of our Lu family's third branch. We will participate in the four-county martial arts competition next month. Even if I can't get a good ranking, I still have you... You are the pillar of our third branch!"

Bu Yi blushed and twisted her body: "Brother Yu is annoying. Why did you suddenly tell me this!"

"What?"

Lu Yu was stunned.

"Don't you want to?"

Bu Yi hurriedly said, "Of course not...Brother Yu, don't worry, Xiao Buzi will definitely help you guard the third room!"

The two looked at each other.

The breeze suddenly blew, and the pear blossoms in the garden swayed.

Pieces of petals fell, and the whole world became snow-white.

The girl's lips were a little bright and vivid, releasing an alluring breath...

Lu Yu couldn't help himself and slowly moved closer.

"Wait a minute..."

At the critical moment, Bu Yi suddenly stopped.

She took out something in a hurry and handed it to Lu Yu.

The object was as bright and colorful as the color on her lips, but it was a cherry.

"Eat it first, let your mouth taste like cherry... In this way, when we eat cherries in the future, we will remember the time at this moment..."

Bu Yi's pretty face flushed, and her voice was so weak that it was inaudible.

Lu Yu felt that his heart was about to melt, and without thinking, he put the cherry in his mouth.

The cherry melted in his mouth, turning into a hot stream that flowed into Lu Yu's stomach.

Lu Yu was stunned. How could there be such a cherry?

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his stomach, like a burning fire.

Lu Yu bent down in pain and looked at Bu Yi in shock, but saw that she, who was still a little bird just now, had completely changed her face at this time, and her pretty face was full of cold and unfamiliar smiles.

"Sister Yi, what's going on?"

"Brother Yu, a set of Tianxing swordsmanship is not enough. I also want your Wuji Heart Pill. Anyway, it's useless to keep it in your body."

"Wuji Heart Pill? This is impossible. The Wuji Heart Pill has been absorbed long ago and merged into the sea of ​​qi in my body!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Suddenly, a powerful voice came.

Lu Yu turned his head and saw a handsome and tall man walking over.

"Xiang Chen!"

The man who came was the son of the county magistrate, Xiang Chen, who was known as the first cultivation genius in Lujiang County!

Xiang Chen walked in front of Lu Yu, and there was a strange gas wave around his body.

This is a phenomenon that only occurs in the True Yuan Realm!

Originally, I just heard that he was about to break through, but I didn't expect that he had already broken through successfully.

He looked down at Lu Yu, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and said:

"I have also taken Wu Ji Xin Dan, and I am familiar with its medicinal properties. You have taken Wu Ji Xin Dan for so many years, and your cultivation has not improved much, which means that the medicinal power of Wu Ji Xin Dan must still remain in your Qi Sea."

"The cherry you ate just now is a dose of thunder and fire medicine, which can activate your Qi Sea and refine the medicinal power of Wu Ji Xin Dan again."

"But in this way, it is inevitable that your entire Qi Sea will be broken. From now on, you will become a complete useless person, although you are already useless enough now..."

Lu Yu looked at Bu Yi in disbelief: "Why... why is this... why is this..."

"Why?"

Bu Yi smiled gently and snuggled into Xiang Chen's arms.

"You are a useless person who has taken the Wuji Heart Pill and made no progress. Are you worthy to be with me?"

"I am the daughter of the Bu family. If it weren't for the Tianxing Sword Technique left by your father and the Wuji Heart Pill in your body, I wouldn't let you touch me even with my fingers!"

"You are so naive that you think I will marry you to help you stabilize the status of the third house. It's ridiculous. Our Bu family and your Lu family have always been at odds. I hope that the Lu family will fight each other for the resources of the third house!"

"My husband, Bu Yi, must be a man who stands tall and upright. Only a child of destiny like Mr. Xiang Chen is the destination of my Bu Yi!"

Lu Yu's heart sank. Every word that Bu Yi said was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely.

His heart was torn and his eyes were bloodshot.

He didn't expect that the one he loved with all his heart was such a woman!

"You are so cruel! I will fight you!"

He struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground again after taking only two steps.

Bu Yi walked to Lu Yu's side, her eyes full of pity.

"Stop struggling."

"You don't have to be too sad. Didn't you always say you like me? Instead of wasting the Tianxing Sword Technique and Wuji Heart Pill on you, it's better to use them to fulfill me."

"With your Wuji Heart Pill and Tianxing Sword Technique, Master Xiang Chen and I will definitely shine and beat the crowd at the Four County Martial Arts Competition next month."

"The Four County Martial Arts Competition is held every four years. In addition to the generous rewards provided by the four counties, the winners will also be selected by the Dali Sword Sect and accepted as disciples."

"Master Xiang Chen and I will be selected as the strongest new disciples of the Dali Sword Sect with the best ranking this year!"

"You should feel fortunate. At least your useless life has a little meaning of existence."

"But don't have any unrealistic ideas because of this... From now on, you and I will be in heaven and on earth, and we are destined to be people from two different worlds!"

After saying that, she leaned down and pressed her hands on Lu Yu's Qi Hai in the abdomen.

A huge suction force came.

Lu Yu felt that all the strength in his body was drained away, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.
