1 CHAPTER 1 REFINEMENT TECHNIQUUE 1

In a separate room,in the Lin family clan, A young man barely sixteen years old,was struggling to sleep.He was a little good looking with a thin frame and slim body, but his eyes were filled with the determination to become stronger.

"Morning already, I haven't even slept for so long and it's morning,soon I would have to begin work," he clenched his hands tightly thinking of his work,A work so demeaning.

This young man's name was Lin Zhang. He is the only son of Lin Feng and brother to Lin Ning.Due to his inability to cultivate he had a fairly hard but sweet life but after his father's death he was labeled as trash and turned to a slave.

Unlike her brother, Lin Ning, she was the single ray of hope on Lin's family main branch. She was extremely talented and was invited to be an inner disciple of Qing Yun sect at the age of thirteen. If this was only the story,it would have been okay for Lin Zhang to maintain his position in the family as the young master, but Lin Ning had offended some big shots in Qing Yun sect and had been sent to purgatory mountain so she could reflect on her actions leaving nobody to protect her trash brother.

Still struggling on his bed, Two people could be seen entering Lin Zhang room and from their dressing they were servants. "Still sleeping? wake up! Do you still fucking think you're the big shot young master of the Lin family? ".one of the servants said.

"You hear me? get up already! "the second servant added, taking a moment to kick him.

Filled with anger and hate Lin Zhang got up and went outside.

In the courtyard of the Lin family, some disciples could be seen practicing, some laughed and played with one another. However, when their gaze landed on Lin Zhang, Their eyes suddenly became cold, and some even showed disdain.

Lin Zhang hurried to the other side of the courtyard where he worked as a flesh target.(1)

"Stop! ..."

A middle aged man suddenly shouted,"Bring up those guys!, we'll stop today's punching lesson here. Now everyone pick a flesh target! ".

"Hitting a real body ",He continued, "will familiarize you with a human body's structure and weakness on actual combat ".

Lin Zhang and other flesh targets moved forward. For two years he had been enduring this beating everyday. "Isn't that Lin zhang?,does he still think that he's still Lin family's young master? A young lord with a devastated past. Hehehehhehehe.... "some disciples whispered.

_Pah!_

A hand suddenly stopped Lin Zhang from moving.The hand hit him hard on the shoulder but Lin Zhang shook it off and continued to move regardless of the stinging pain he felt from his shoulder.

_pah! _

The hand hit him with so much force this time that he fell to his knees.

The hand's owner was a youth dressed in a loose fitting dress.He was Lin pei ran:Body refinement layer, and the oldest son of the second family branch,Current young lord.

In the Lin sect, there were many youths who had barely started cultivation but most of them were on first stage of the bone refinement layer with some impressive ones on the third stage.

The bone refinement layer was divided into nine stage and it was the beginning of martial path.After that was the viscera refining realm, Followed by the innate realm which was also divided into nine stages too.

Lin pei ran was on ninth stage of the bone refinement layer. He was delighted to see Lin Zhang suffering.

"Lin Zhang, I can't believe you still haven't been beaten to death after my time in solitude!"

"I can't die yet with your words of encouragement..... "Lin Zhang retorted loudly.

"How dare a slave offend the young lord? Atone with your death! or else you'll regret being born into this world! ",the disciples nearby said, ready to please please Lin pei ran.

"Calm down everyone, Do you know why I went into solitude? "Lin pei ran raised his head and laughed with a look of disdain on his face,

"I took a heaven and earth pill".

"You took what? ", Lin Zhang seeing with anger was quickly held down by other flesh targets before he did something that he would regret.

"The heaven and earth pills are our Lin family's treasures. They were passed down from previous generations and there were only two of them. Lin pei ran, How dare you disregard our family rules and take the sacred pill for yourself! ".Lin Zhang's face was filled with anger as he said those words.

"Hahahahahah, Lin pei ran continued in excitement oblivious to the painful expression on Lin Zhang face,"The heaven and Earth pill is extraordinary. It only took tenth of the pill's effect to improve my flesh refinement layer to the 7th of bone refinement layer. Reaching viscera refinement layer is only a matter of time".

"Hmph, You can't even be compared to a small insect in my eyes! I can squash you with one hand. Now that I'm out of my solitude today, I need to find a flesh target to test my strength ".

"So you're it..... ".

Lin Zhang's heart sped up once more as heard those words coming from his cousin before he could reply, One of his flesh target brothers quickly ran forward and knelt down.

"P..... Please..... young lord, Please have mercy!!!?".

Before the brother could look up, Lin pei ran moved forward.

_Pah.... _

The heart of the brother was removed his chest.All the flesh target gasped in horror while looking at the heart in Lin pei ran hands and the blood dripping towards the ground.

Immediately, all the disciples shouted in union"The mighty young lord!... The young lord will definitely revive the Lin family! ".

Lin pei ran started laughing intensively, while facing Lin Zhang.

"Don't worry, I don't want to take your life yet!, I just want to show you that I, Lin pei ran, am much stronger than trash! ",Still sneering he continued,

"I haven't forgotten about my cousin, once I have reached viscera refinement realm, I'll go rescue my pitiful cousin in Qing Yun sect ".

_AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH_

Lin Zhang doesn't mind the fact that he's been treated like a slave and been used as a flesh target. He doesn't even care about the heaven and earth pill that was meant for him. Nothing matters to him, nothing except his sister, Lin Ning. She is his soft spot.

Clenching his teeth, Lin Zhang moved away amidst the bouts of laughter and whispers coming from the disciples.

Lin Zhang walked towards the resource department to collect his pills for the day.

On getting there, Lin zhang was handed one pill, "Steward Fang!,why is there only one pill today?

Steward Fang,a fat man smoking a pipe, simply replied without any respect for the former young lord "It's a blessing you received any! now you want more?".

Still angry from being humiliated before, Lin Zhang refused to give up,

"Lin family distributes three healing pills everyday, but now there is only one. It's obvious that you kept some for yourself! Stealing is a serious crime in the Lin household. Are you not afraid of death, Steward Fang?".

Hearing those words from a trash young master, steward fang was immediately irritated, "Ha, of course I am! but look at your current state! Do you really think you're still Lin family's young lord? Screw you!??

____Pah______!!

Lin Zhang immediately hit Steward Fang on the face,"How dare a non-family steward act this arrogant! you really thought I was afraid of you, I may not be able to cultivate or seem weak to others but I have eaten a lot of cultivation pills when my father was still alive and compared to weaklings like you, I am more than enough ".

Holding his broken nose and crying profusely, "Y.... You're just a slave and you dared to hit me... You.... Just you wait! ".Steward Fang said, still in pain

Lin Zhang having no strength to argue, simply left the room with his one pill and returned to his room.

Ever since his father had died, he had been humiliated continuously but today's word was like the straw that broke the camels back.

Even though he was very angry and determined to be strong, he couldn't do anything, his meridians has been blocked and he has been unable to cultivate.

"If my father didn't have such a good heart and believed in paying resentment with kindness, my main family wouldn't have fallen to this state, And my father won't be dead".Lin Zhang clenching his teeth and said aloud while trembling.

Holding the last possession that his father gave him:A black book with words that were incomprehensible.

Lin Zhang eyes were dim as if he had fallen into darkness when he remembered the humiliation he suffered earlier and the state of his sister.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, he yelled in frustration

"This shitty book with its incomprehensible words!whats the point of keeping it? ".Lighting the book with the flame from a candle,he threw the book to a corner of the room. Still sobbing, Lin Zhang failed to notice that the book was slowly changing. It transformed from an old black book to a golden parchment with incomprehensible words written in ink as black as coal.

_"What's this? "_

Attracted by the glow from the parchment, Lin Zhang moved towards the golden parchment. Still bewildered about what could have caused the changes.He picked the parchment;as soon as he picked the golden parchment, the words on the parchment started to climb onto his body.

___AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH___

it was very painful, unable to drop the golden parchment, it was as If it was stuck to his hands, Lin Zhang screamed in pain.

Unable to keep up with the pain,Lin Zhang suddenly fainted.

The whole world suddenly went silent.
