The Great Clarity Empire, Imperial City.

Early in the morning, a big fog shrouded the foot of a remote mountain. The white fog blocked people's sight, and everything became a little hazy.

One could clearly hear an extremely intense panting sound being emitted from a forest at the foot of the mountain. One could see a somewhat skinny figure using one hand to support his body in order to do push-ups. On his body, one could even see a couple of thick black pieces of metal hanging on his back, legs, and even neck.

Every time he did push-ups, every muscle in his body was trembling. He gritted his teeth, and blue veins appeared on his forehead.

No one knew how many push-ups he had done, but sweat dripped from his clothes, and the iron was also wet.

"There are still two hundred left. I should be able to squeeze out the Red Ganoderma that I ate a few days ago again!" The young man almost gritted his teeth, and a murmur came out of his mouth.

This little boy was called Ye Mo. He was just an orphan. He was not rich or powerful, but he was devoted to martial arts.

However, his path of Martial Arts was extremely bumpy. He was not a genius, but his Martial Arts talent was only at Level Two.

In the Great Clarity Empire, half of the people were not talented in martial arts and were not suitable for martial arts. Most of the other half only had the talent of a first-grade martial arts and a second-grade martial arts. Even if they practiced martial arts, such a talent would not make any difference.

It could be said that those who were regarded as second-grade talents could almost give up the road of martial arts. Although second-grade talents were not as rare as the hairs of a cow in the Tang Empire, they were still a large number. It was possible for such people to enter the martial arts, but it was impossible for them to become strong.

As for Ye Mo, even if it wasn't about talent, his family background alone was far from enough to support his path of martial dao.

In the field of martial dao, one must not only have talent, but also have a certain amount of resources to buy all sorts of spirit medicines and pills in order to quickly improve one's realm.

However, Ye Mo was just an orphan. He was currently serving food and water in a restaurant in the Great Clarity Empire. His monthly salary was far from enough to support his cultivation.

However, all of this couldn't be stopped. His obsession with martial arts, even if he didn't have great talent, could only be made up with hard work and hard work. Even if he didn't have a good family background, he still used hard work and hard work to make up for it.

The Tao of Heaven worked hard, and the road of martial arts was at its peak. He was determined to climb up. Even if he would be smashed into pieces, he was fearless.

"It's done!"

Finally, after the last two hundred push-ups were completed, a warm current immediately flowed through his body from his abdomen to every part of his body. Finally, it fiercely hit the various meridians in his body.

From the moment people were born, their meridians would be locked. At the beginning of Martial Arts, they had to open their bodies' meridians. There were many meridians in the human body, but there were only 12 meridians that could be used for martial artists to cultivate and absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Only by opening these 12 meridians could the Qi of Heaven and Earth flow into the body and finally into the Qi of Sea.

But now, Ye Mo had only opened seven meridians. In fact, if one were to really count, Ye Mo's second-grade talent was far from reaching this level. The most important thing was that in the past few days, he had accumulated three months' salary and bought a bloody ganoderma lucidum to eat.

This kind of Red Ganoderma was a low-grade first-grade spirit medicine. Although this kind of spirit medicine was cheap, it was extremely difficult for the human body to absorb.

Ye Mo, on the other hand, forced his physical training to squeeze out the Red Ganoderma in his body. It could be said that he had to put in a lot of effort in order to squeeze out this Spiritual Dose.

But now, Ye Mo had no other choice but to take this path.

After squeezing out the Red Ganoderma, Ye Mo stood up.

"This Red Ganoderma can be squeezed for a few more days!" Ye Mo clenched his fists and felt the strength of his body after the training. He let out a low sigh.

Ye Mo didn't have much money to buy the ganoderma lucidum, so he could only madly squeeze out the Red Ganoderma in his body. It would be easier to squeeze it in the early stage, but it would become more and more difficult in the future. The thinner the spirit medicine was, the harder it would be to squeeze it out.

However, Ye Mo was willing to give it a shot that was ten times or even a hundred times more.

Heaven's Way was hard work. He had always believed in these words.

When Ye Mo got up, a fat figure suddenly ran out of the forest. When he saw Ye Mo finish his cultivation, he said with a smile, "Brother Mo, have you finished your cultivation?"

"Fatty Sun! Are you also here to cultivate? If you want to cultivate now, I can extend the time to accompany you!" Ye Mo looked at the fat figure in front of him and chuckled.

Fatty Sun was the birth son of the restaurant owner's wife. He also practiced martial arts, but fortunately, his martial arts talent was third-grade compared to Ye Mo's. In terms of talent, he was already one in a hundred. Moreover, his mother was the owner of the restaurant, so his family background was much better than Ye Mo's.

However, it was a pity that Sun Da Yuan was not as hardworking as Ye Mo. His cultivation had always lasted for two days to fish and three days to bask in the net.

However, even so, he had already opened eight of the 12 meridians. In other words, he only had one more meridian than Ye Mo. Of course, this was also due to his "workingness". Otherwise, Sun Da Yuan would have more than one meridian than Ye Mo.

"Come on, Brother Mo, the intensity of your training is not something that ordinary people like us can bear!" Sun Da Yuan waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Ye Mo smiled gently and took off his shirt. Then he dried it. Immediately, a large amount of sweat dripped down like flowing water. Watching this, Sun Da Yuan couldn't help but knock his tongue.

After drying his clothes, Ye Mo put them back on and said to Sun Da Yuan, "Well, I won't tell you now. I'm going to find Bai Lingxue. This Red Blood Ginseng hasn't been handed over to her yet!"

After throwing out these words, Ye Mo looked at the sky. At this time, the fog had gradually dissipated, and the sky seemed to be washed, blue. Chuyang stuck out his head, directly broke through the clouds, and sprinkled the soft sun.

"It's getting late. The appointed time has come!" Ye Mo sighed in a low voice and quickly ran toward the forest.

"Wait, Brother Mo!" All of a sudden, Sun Da Yuan called out to Ye Mo.

"What's wrong?" Ye Mo turned around.

Sun Da Yuan's face showed a rare sense of struggle. It seemed that he wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, he said, "It's okay. Be careful!"

"Well, I'm fine!" Ye Mo chuckled and then quickly entered the forest.

After entering the mountain forest, there was similarly an empty ground. At this moment, one could clearly see an elegant and refined young lady quietly waiting there.

Seeing this person, Ye Mo took out a stalk of Red Blood Ginseng wrapped in layers of white cloth from his pocket. Finally, a smile appeared on his face.

He bought the Red Ganoderma and the Red Blood Ginseng with his three-month salary. Although the Red Blood Ginseng was also a low-grade first-grade spiritual medicine, it was easier to absorb than the Red Ganoderma.

However, in the end, he chose to cultivate by himself with the Red Ganoderma, while the Red Blood Ginseng was given to Bai Lingxue.

Bai Lingxue was Ye Mo's childhood friend. She was one year younger than Ye Mo and was also a third-grade talent, just like Sun Da Yuan. However, her family background could not be compared with Sun Da Yuan's. Her parents were just fishermen. Although she did not need to worry about food and clothing, it was still a little difficult for her to provide Bai Lingxue with spiritual medicines for cultivation.

Moreover, Bai Lingxue's parents were relatively traditional. It was not very useful for girls to practice martial arts. Her parents only needed Bai Lingxue to be an ordinary person. Therefore, Bai Lingxue's parents had never bought Bai Lingxue a spirit medicine.

However, Ye Mo knew that Bai Lingxue also wanted to pursue martial arts, so he had to spend most of the money working in the restaurant to support Bai Lingxue. Only a small part of the money would be used to buy the cheapest Red Ganoderma.

They grew up together, and they had fallen in love with each other for a long time.

In the Tang Empire, any warrior who had entered the Acquired Realm would be given a certain official position and serve the imperial court. Ye Mo was focused on pursuing martial arts. Of course, one of the reasons was for Bai Lingxue. He wanted to give her happiness. He was just a waiter now, but as long as he reached the Acquired Realm, he would succeed in jumping over the dragon's gate and becoming an official.

"Lingxue, I've been waiting for a long time! I'll give you this spiritual herb!" Ye Mo quickly ran to Bai Lingxue and handed her the Red Blood Ginseng.

But this time, Bai Lingxue did not take the Red Blood Ginseng that he handed over. Instead, she looked at Ye Mo and said with a sneer, "No need. You don't have to give me this kind of low-grade spiritual medicine in the future. Enjoy it yourself!"

Hearing this, Ye Mo was stunned. He forced out a smile and said, "What are you talking about? Ling Xue? Stop joking! What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Bai Lingxue's expression, for some reason, Ye Mo's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. "What did you say? Ha, do you want to eat swan meat like a toad?"

Suddenly, a sneer came from the dense forest. Then, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked out of the dense forest.

"I'm fine. I just want to tell you that I'm going to marry Liu Bai of the Liu Family!" Bai Lingxue said indifferently.

The gentleness of the past was gone. There was only a kind of indifference.

Hearing this, Ye Mo only felt that all of his strength had been drained at this moment, and his heart was full of dead ash.

The Liu Family was a big family in the Great Clarity Empire. They were powerful and prosperous, and they were the major forces in the empire. They were extremely powerful in both wealth and martial arts. As for Liu Baiyu, she was the direct descendant of the Liu Family. She had a fourth-grade talent and was extremely excellent. She was a rare genius of the Liu Family.

Liu Bai had always had a good impression of Bai Lingxue, and even began to pursue her. However, Ye Mo did not expect that Bai Lingxue would agree to her pursuit.

The corner of Ye Mo's mouth twitched a little. He stepped forward and was about to hold Bai Lingxue's hand. "Didn't you stay with me for a long time? How could..."

"Get lost!" However, before Ye Mo could step forward, Liu Baiyu had already kicked him and sent him flying.

Ye Mo only felt a burning pain on his face, but compared to the pain on his face, the pain in his heart might be stronger.

"A nobody dares to touch Bai Lingxue's hand. He's courting death!" Liu Bai said in a cold voice.

At this moment, Bai Lingxue slowly stepped forward and looked down at Ye Mo, who was lying on the ground. She said coldly, "Stay with you for a long time? Don't joke around. You are just a small vegetable... The gentle words I told you before were just to ask you to buy the Red Blood Ginseng. Now that I am about to marry into the Liu Family, you can enjoy this kind of low-grade spiritual medicine by yourself!"

The corner of Ye Mo's mouth twitched violently when he heard this. An unknown chill surged within his heart. An extreme hatred suddenly surged within his heart when he saw Bai Lingxue looking down at him as though she was looking at an ant.

He knew that so far, he had been used.

"I'll make you regret it!" Ye Mo's face was hideous, and his deep eyes had turned incomparably red. He was like a wild beast that was ready to attack, giving off a chilling feeling.

"You regret it? What ability do you have to make Bai Lingxue regret it? You are just a second-grade talent. It's ridiculous that you want to make Bai Lingxue regret it!"

Liu Baiyu slowly stepped forward and stomped hard on Ye Mo's head with one foot.

An extreme humiliation ruthlessly attacked Ye Mo's heart. He clenched his fists tightly and his nails dug deeply into his palms, bringing waves of piercing pain.

"Since you have given Bai Lingxue so many spiritual herbs before, I will avoid your rude behavior today. If I see you dare to pester Bai Lingxue next time, I will kill you!"

Liu Baiyu snorted coldly and rubbed Ye Mo's head hard with his feet. Then he took Bai Lingxue's hand and left.

"I will definitely repay you ten times over for today's humiliation in the future. Otherwise, I will definitely die a terrible death!"

Ye Mo clenched his teeth tightly as he watched the two departing figures. An icy cold voice leaped out from between his teeth. It carried an extremely brutal aura as it rose in his eyes.
