Peerless Insect Deity

The Great Xuan Dynasty has a vast territory and a population of billions. Everyone yearns for immortality and becoming an immortal.

In the eastern part of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the various states and counties near the Xunlong Mountains are even more popular.

The immortal sects in the Xunlong Mountains have taught some introductory body-building techniques and breathing techniques to the major families. Therefore, the possibility of awakening spiritual roots for the children of the families is much higher than that of ordinary children.

The Lin family, a major family in Donglin County.

Dozens of children in their teens are sitting neatly in the family martial arts training ground. The children are both boys and girls, all with their eyes closed, their hearts facing the sky, and their breathing is even.

They are all children of the Lin family. They are usually young men and women served by a large number of servants. They are still at the age of playing and playing, but no one dares to make a sound here.

The whole world seems to be left with only the sound of their even breathing.

A middle-aged man with a strong back and a height of eight feet stood in front of all the children. His eyes were like lightning, and he was seriously scanning every child present.

This was the coach of the Lin family who taught the breathing method.

"Keep a good breathing rhythm!"

"Remember, inhaling fresh air and exhaling turbid air is the key to the breathing method!"

"The fresh air contains spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy enters your body and washes your limbs and bones, it can strengthen your flesh and blood, warm your soul and dantian, and awaken your spiritual roots earlier!"

"Before you are fourteen years old, if you have not awakened your spiritual roots and taken this most critical step, it means that you will have no chance to achieve longevity in this life!"

"The immortals and mortals are separated forever, in heaven and on earth!"

Although the coach's voice was not loud, it gave people a feeling like a loud bell, shocking people.

In the distance, a handsome boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light gray and simple ring, knelt on his knees and wiped the spotless floor with a rag, while staring at this scene with sparkling eyes.

Exhale...

Inhale...

His breathing rate seemed to be completely consistent with those children!

A servant with pockmarks on his face touched his arm slightly and whispered: "Ye Lin, you are going to die! Some time ago, a servant who secretly learned martial arts was caught by the master instructor and his eyes were gouged out on the spot!"

"Once a slave, a slave for generations. Only young men and young ladies can practice. Those who usurp the throne will never be saved!"

The young man named Ye Lin smiled, then nodded and began to wipe the floor quickly, but no matter what he did, his breathing rate never changed.

The young men and young ladies of the Lin family practice breathing exercises for one hour every morning, while Ye Lin does it for eight hours. Since he learned it half a year ago, he has never stopped except when he can't control it when sleeping.

Ye Lin's ancestors were slaves of the Lin family.

His grandfather was, his father was, and he is too.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to marry a maid of the Lin family in the future, and his descendants will also be slaves for life, serving the masters of the Lin family for generations.

But Ye Lin had witnessed his grandfather, who had lost his ability to work due to old age, being starved to death by the steward.

His parents pleaded for his grandfather, but were beaten by the guards, which left them with a root of illness. They both died of depression a few years later.

Ye Lin's mind was constantly echoing with his father's dying words.

"I'd rather be a beggar than a slave!"

Ye Lin wanted to change his fate!

...

That night, the moonlight was like water, and the croaking of frogs and insects was heard in his ears.

Thanks to his mastery of breathing techniques, Ye Lin was full of energy. Even though he didn't fall asleep like other slaves after a busy day, he found a quiet and deserted place under the pretext of taking a bath by the river and started to exercise every day.

Ye Lin took off his shirt, his muscles bulged, his temperament was heroic, and he no longer looked like a humble slave. After bending down, Ye Lin picked up a huge stone, and then sank his body and began to stand in a horse stance.

When the Lin family taught the breathing method, the servants could watch, because the breathing method was profound, even if the young master and the young lady studied for many years, they might not be able to master it perfectly. However, Ye Lin had never learned the real body-building method, and he was afraid that he would be caught and beaten to death on the spot by the steward before he was free from slavery.

So he could only use the most primitive method to build his body, squatting, horse stance, and weighted running, in order to make his body stronger and his blood more abundant.

As time passed, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out of Ye Lin's forehead, but his breathing frequency remained the same as usual, without any change.

"I must hold on longer!" Ye Lin gritted his teeth and said secretly.

Ye Lin's father once risked his life to ask the passing Jianghu monks for some basic knowledge of cultivation, and taught them to him one by one.

The Jianghu monk said that the human body is the soil, and the spiritual roots are like the saplings in the soil. Everyone has various "saplings" in their bodies, but the "saplings" in most people are too weak to be sensed and cannot bear fruit. The more fertile the soil, the faster the "saplings" grow and the taller they grow.

The way to make the soil more fertile is to forge the body, so that the blood is abundant and the energy is vigorous!

"I heard from Manager Wang that in two months, the Taixuan Sect's immortals will come to the Lin Mansion to test the spiritual roots. It's best to seize this opportunity!"

When Ye Lin was training seriously, the river surface, which was originally as calm as a mirror, suddenly rippled, and a winding, ten-foot-long white shadow was approaching rapidly.

Splash!

The water splashed, and the white shadow popped out a head, which was a huge white snake with snow-white scales all over its body!

Ye Lin was not panicked at all. He still kept his breathing rhythm, looked at the white snake, and showed a kind smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaobai! Long time no see, you have grown up again. Have you been molting these days? My dear, you are growing faster than the fat pigs raised in our Lin Mansion!"

This white snake named Xiaobai was rescued by Ye Lin from a honey badger a year ago. As for why he rescued it, it was because Ye Lin was born to like all kinds of small animals. He always felt that he had some indissoluble bond with them, and the small animals also liked him very much.

For example, it is summer now, and there are many mosquitoes, but no mosquito has ever come close to bite him. If an ordinary person stays by the river for a while at night, I am afraid that his whole body will be covered with bumps and turn into a toad in seconds.

Xiaobai swam out of the water, rubbed Ye Lin's forehead very intimately with his head, which was half the size of Ye Lin's head, and then opened his mouth and spit out a pearl emitting silver light.

Ye Lin was shocked.

"This is the first time I've seen such beautiful pearls! Even the married ladies of the Lin family have never worn them. They should be worth a lot of money!"

"Yes, you are a snake, and asking for money is useless."

"But I am not much better than you. I am a servant of the Lin family. Asking for money is also useless. I may be suspected of stealing and get into trouble."

Everything of a servant belongs to the master, including money.

In response to a controversial question from readers, are snakes considered a kind of insect?

According to modern biological knowledge, they are not insects, but in ancient times, snakes have always been a kind of poisonous insects. Xiuxian novels are set in ancient times.

I hope everyone likes this book, thank you.
