He took out a jet-black jade bead from the collar of his shirt, which sparkled in the sunlight. This jade bead was one of the items that Yang Fan's father had left behind before he went missing, and it was also the only thing he had access to — and it was his.

His mother told him to take it with him and not to lose it. Therefore, he knew that this was very important, but when he started cultivating, the magical effects of the jade bead were finally being displayed. It was unknown if his father and mother knew of the profoundness behind it.

The effect of the bead was very mysterious. It could absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, increase the speed at which spiritual energy was converted into spiritual energy, and increase the efficiency of cultivation. Not only that, every time he cultivated, the surrounding spiritual energy would become abnormally active, and all kinds of elemental spiritual molecules would gather around him. Moreover, a faint wave of heat energy was emitted from his chest and slowly seeped into his meridians from the surface of his skin. The rate at which his spiritual energy flowed within his meridians would then increase.

Each time he finished his training, not only did he not feel tired, but instead, he felt a sense of comfort, which caused him to have a desire to cultivate. He had no choice but to secretly come out to cultivate with Ying Susu on his back every time.

Yang Fan sized up the jade pearl. The mystery of the jade pearl was beyond doubt; when cultivating, it could absorb spiritual energy and turn it into non-elemental spiritual energy, which Yang Fan could absorb; when not cultivating, although it could absorb spiritual energy, it was extremely weak and could barely sense it, so there was no need to worry about others discovering it.

From the time he started cultivating until now, he had only cultivated for an average of six hours a day and for over twenty days in half a year. This showed just how terrifying his talent was. Yang Fan, who was supposed to be this intelligent, couldn't help but doubt his parents' origins. His mother, Ying Susu, also refused to reveal it, so this had already become a mystery within his heart.

Yang Fan stared at the jade pearl for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he seemed to have made a great decision, as he tightly clenched his fists. When he withdrew from his thoughts, it was already late in the morning. He raised his head to look at the sky and slapped his thigh. "Crap, it's too late. Mother should say it again." He suddenly stood up, put the bead back, and ran back while patting it.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw his mother looking at him with a smile, "Why are you playing too much again? We're already here, tell me what you're playing for today!"

'Crap, did they find out that it's impossible? '' Mother, I'm sure I'll be able to find out. 'Raising my head, I say guiltily, "They asked me about my trip to the Misty Dragon Mountain Range to gather medicinal plants." As he spoke, he began to brag, "I'll tell them how I managed to avoid so many demon beasts and harvest the medicine."

"I, I said … "Damn!" Yang Fan rolled his eyes and nodded his head. Then, he chuckled and said.

"Alright, little trick, let's eat. After lunch, help me organize the medicinal herbs. Oh right, how much did the medicine secretary prepare?" Ying Luo said with a straight face.

"That, that should be enough!" Yang Fan began to stammer.

"It's not like I've read it," Ying Luo Niang feigned an angry expression, "Reading a little more won't hurt. Then I'll go and take a look in the afternoon, do you understand?" Seeing Yang Fan's absent-minded look, he tugged at Yang Fan's ear.

"Ai, it hurts. Mother, I know!" Yang Fan begged for mercy.

"Mm. Go on in." As he spoke, the two of them walked in …

In the afternoon, Ying Luo Niang was drying her medicinal herbs. Beads of sweat rolled down her face as she raised her hand to wipe them away.

"Mother Su, you're drying the medicine again!" The person who spoke was the famous "Ox Skin King" Wang Li, Wang Da Niu.

"Yes, Aunt Wang, let's go to the town?"

"That's right. In half a month, isn't the Imperial Sword Sect open for disciples? If you don't go to town now, you can buy some for my child. What about you?" If you don't want your Yang Fan to try, this is a good opportunity. The Imperial Sword Sect was able to recruit them here this year, it would be more convenient if we don't have to travel too far. " Wang Li said in a provocative manner. This was because her family's child was stronger than Yang Fan, but she didn't know that it depended on luck.

"I'll let him try his luck." Ying Susu answered.

"That's true. Who knows? If he doesn't say anything, then let's go." Wang Li turned around and walked away, twisting her fat body.

At this time, Yang Fan came out of his room and said with a laugh, "Mother, what are you talking about with Aunt Wang? Did you hear her blow again?"

"Kid, how can you speak like that? You're not small at all." As he spoke, he glared at Yang Fan.

"Heh heh." Yang Fan laughed foolishly.

"In half a month's time, the Imperial Sword Sect will open their doors to accept disciples. Mom wants you to go as well." Ying Luo said this with a trace of reluctance on her face, but she quickly covered it up.

"I'm not going." Yang Fan shook his head.

"Why?" Ying Luo Niang did not understand. Previously, she had always said that she wanted to cultivate, but now that the opportunity had presented itself, she was unwilling to, so she asked.

"I'm leaving, mother is alone, I want to stay with mother." Yang Fan had actually wanted to go, but managed to restrain himself and spoke in a righteous tone.

Hearing this, Ying Susu's heart warmed. She rubbed Yang Fan's head and said, "Silly child, Fan'er has already grown up, so you can't always stay by your mother's side. If you want to go out and adventure, you should see the wider skies. The outside world is very vast, and only when you're strong can you protect your mother!"

Ying Susu's words aroused Yang Fan's desire for the outside world, but he suppressed it and said, "But …"

"There's no 'but'. If you enter the Imperial Sword Sect, won't you still have a chance to save your parents' time every month? Unless you don't want to come back and see your mother after you go in there. "

"Impossible, I will." Yang Fan said with resolution in his eyes.

"Then that's good. Go back and think about how to pass the assessment and enter the Imperial Sword Sect in half a month!" It's still too early to say these things now. What's the question of whether I can enter or not? " Ying Susu had given Yang Fan a pre-emptive salute in order to arouse his fighting spirit. This move was indeed correct.

"That won't happen, I will definitely go in. Mother, don't worry, Fan'er will definitely not let you down."

"Mmm, Mom trusts you." As Ying Luo said this, she pulled him into her embrace and gave him a look of affirmation.

However, Ying Luo Niang thought in her heart, "Fan'er, don't blame Mother. Mother is doing this for your own good. Mother doesn't want you to get involved in this endless conflict too early. Don't blame me." Tears fell from the corners of his eyes just thinking about it.

"Mother, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" Yang Fan was hugged by Ying Susu. He could clearly feel her sobbing. When he lifted his head to look, he saw her crying and panicked.

"It's alright, Mother is just happy." As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes …

"Oh." Yang Fan replied with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to pass the Sword Management Sect's assessment, but he didn't know that before long, he would be facing this world full of danger and challenges by himself. The gears of fate had already stealthily turned.
