Chapter 27 - 17 Tiger Seal Dragon Form
A scroll of the Sutra of Salvation can reveal one's past life.
The man before Xu Qing, who was physically and spiritually transformed, was named Li Fan.
He had lived in the Capital City since childhood; his father, Li Ping, was a butcher at the Slaughterhouse Pavilion, and his mother, Madam Fan, did mending and laundry work for others.
Not wanting their child to be as unaccomplished as they were, the elderly couple took out their lifelong savings to send Li Fan to a martial arts hall to learn martial arts.
Li Fan had always been the king of the street kids, loving to wrestle and fight. Now, going to the martial arts hall was like a fish returning to the sea, and he became unstoppable.
At fifteen, he trained his skin; at eighteen, he strengthened his muscles and bones; before the age of twenty, he had already achieved the status of an External Cultivation Martial Artist.
However, as the saying goes — education is for the poor, martial arts are for the rich.
Li Fan's family was not well-off, and their savings were nearly exhausted by this point.
Left with no choice, Li Fan had to pause his training at the martial arts hall and begin doing various odd jobs to save up for further training.
During this period, he worked as a bodyguard, killed people, and even served as a constable for a few years. By the time he was thirty, although he had not returned to the martial arts hall, Li Fan found other ways to step into the realm of an Inner Cultivation Martial Master.
By then, the sharp edges of his youthful ambition had been worn down by the daily grind of making ends meet, leaving him immersed in the mundane.
