Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 22 One Year

A year passes quietly. In the polar night world, there is no saying that winter passes and spring comes. It is always cold and dark.

Because there was no sunrise or sunset, it was difficult for Li Qing to calculate the passage of time clearly. He made a rough estimate based on the amount of food consumed in the warehouse.

He divided all the food into quantities for about a year and a half according to his daily food intake, and calculated how much time had passed based on his body's biological clock.

However, this calculation is somewhat inaccurate after all. After all, after entering the level of a master of external strength, his appetite has increased a lot again.

The food that was originally enough to last him for a year and a half was almost enough in almost a year.

Now that there is not much food left in the cellar, it is time to return to the other world to inquire about the situation.

"The past year has not been wasted. The external energy in my body has become much stronger." Li Qing spread his hands, feeling the surging power in his body, and was very satisfied.

During the time when he was avoiding the war in the polar night world, he practiced the tiger's true intention, the ancient mysterious hammer technique, and the light leg kick to a small degree.

Only the progress of Turtle Breathing Kung is still slow, and it is still on the verge of entry. It has only developed some internal strength that is better than nothing.

Li Qing didn't feel too frustrated about this, but still had high expectations for this internal martial arts.

This internal martial arts may be the upper limit of his future martial arts career. Whether he can reach the realm of martial arts master will most likely depend on the Turtle Breathing Skill.

"During this period, something happened in Obsidian City. I don't know what is happening in Feng Kingdom now."

When he left, horse thieves were ravaging the border fortress, but the entire Wu Li Army of Feng Kingdom was also rushing to Wangyuan City. He could not make an accurate judgment as to whether the war was still continuing.

Just when Li Qing was about to shuttle back, there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!
An old voice sounded next, the voice of Lao Antou.

"Master Xiao Li, are you at home?"

Li Qing walked to the courtyard, opened the door, and then raised his brows in surprise.

Outside the gate of his courtyard, stood not only the stooped and short old man An, but also a skinny little girl with a yellow face. This malnourished little girl looked like she was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and her face was pale and bloodless. But the eyes are very clear.

If nothing else, this girl should be Old Man An's granddaughter.

"Old man An, why did you come to me suddenly with your granddaughter?" Li Qing glanced at the little girl and then looked away.

Old Man An said with a bitter expression: "Master Xiao Li, old man, I want to entrust my granddaughter to you and let her be your servant and help you on weekdays. What do you think?"

"Grandpa." The little girl grabbed the corner of her grandfather's clothes and said with a look of fear.

Take on a servant?How can this be!

He carries the secret of traveling between two worlds, how could he be willing to keep such a dragster by his side?

"Old man An, you can't take care of your granddaughter by yourself, why do you suddenly ask me to take care of her?" Li Qing said in a cold tone.

"Hey, old man, I plan to go out of the city to harvest rye mushrooms in the next few days. The family has not eaten for several days." As he said this, Old Man An touched his granddaughter's head.

"Old man An, are you desperate for your life? Are you going out of the city to harvest rye mushrooms at such an old age? Isn't it nice to sew clothes and make shoes for others?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I don't want to, but the Yan family made a statement some time ago. From now on, no one in the city is allowed to do my business."

Later, Old Man An told what happened during this period.

It turns out that the second young master of the Yan family fell in love with Old Man An's granddaughter and wanted Old Man An to take the initiative to send his granddaughter to the Yan family's house.

Of course Old Man An disagreed with this. He gritted his teeth and refused to let go, refusing to let his granddaughter fall into the fire pit of the Yan family.

In Obsidian City, the reputation of the second young master of the Yan family is very notorious. The women he targets will not end up well after entering Yan's house. They will either go crazy or commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well.

But what surprised Li Qing was that the second young master of the Yan family didn't know why no coercive action was taken.With the power of the Yan family in Obsidian City, it is not difficult at all to snatch Old Man An's granddaughter.

Li Qing estimated that Second Young Master Yan wanted Old Man An to take the initiative to send his granddaughter to the mansion to satisfy his morbid psychology, so he came up with so many tricks to make things difficult for Old Man An.

Now that Old Man An is desperate, his business can't be done. In order not to starve to death, he can only go out of the city to harvest rye mushrooms and work hard to earn some food to live on.

It is worth mentioning that all the land outside the city where rye mushrooms are grown belongs to the Yan family. Everyone in the city can basically be said to be a tenant of the Yan family.

If people without any skills want to eat, they have to go out of the city to help the Yan family grow and harvest rye mushrooms, so that they can get some rye mushrooms as payment.

Going out of the city to harvest rye mushrooms is not an easy job. Under the land where rye mushrooms are grown, there is something called black sandworm, which is very deadly to an old man like Old Man An.

In addition, even if he did not encounter dangerous insects like black sandworms, Old Man An might not be able to return to the city unharmed after finishing his farm work.

For an old man like him, there is no guarantee that he will not encounter someone seeking money or murder on his way back to the city.

This is why Old Man An decided to entrust his granddaughter to Li Qing. He knew that his trip out of the city would be in danger.

After listening to Old Man An's story, Li Qing sighed in his heart.

The Yan family really deserves to die, relying on their great power to prey on the people of the city.

He is now a master of external strength, and he is not that afraid of the Yan family, but he has not yet figured out the depth of the Yan family, and he does not want to be taken care of by the Yan family prematurely yet.

After all, the few martial arts I learned, except for the Ancient Xuan Hammer Kung Fu, all came from the Yan family.

Li Qing would never believe it if the Yan family didn't raise a few foreign power masters as offerings!

"Hey, Old Man An, you'd better take your granddaughter back, I won't take her here." Li Qing sighed and said.

As soon as these words came out, Old Man An's face became even darker. He wanted to say something else, but finally gave up.

"It doesn't matter, it's me who bothered Master Li. The Yan family is really not easy to offend."

After saying that, Old Man An took his granddaughter's hand and walked home staggeringly.

When he turned around, Li Qing saw the mist in the little girl's eyes, and felt a little unbearable for a moment.

"Wait a minute, Old Man An." Li Qing called to the grandfather and grandson.

"Master Xiao Li, if you feel embarrassed, don't force yourself." Old Man An said sheepishly.

Li Qing just turned around and came to the warehouse at his home, taking out all the rye mushrooms he had earned from helping others forge over the past year.

"Take these. It should be enough for you two to eat for a long time. Let's wait and see if the limelight will pass after a while. The Yan family can't keep an eye on you."

Li Qing said as he handed the black wheat mushroom to Old Man An.

"How can this be done, Master Xiao Li?" Old Man An panicked for a moment. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Take it back, I'm not short of food."

"Xiaoxuan, why don't you thank you, Uncle Li!" Old Man An took his granddaughter and thanked him quickly.

"Thank you, Uncle Li! Thank you, Uncle Li!" Tears fell to the ground like pearls in An Xuan's eyes.

Hearing the thanks, Li Qing's mouth twitched, then waved his hand and returned to the courtyard without saying anything.

I have only lived my whole life, and yet I am now an uncle. Although my mental age is indeed that of this generation.
