Blowing away the candle flame on the oil lamp, Lin Fan lay on the stone bed, covered himself with a quilt, and slept sweetly, in this dark and silent forest, the eight-year-old child was actually fearless, obviously used to this situation, but at this moment he had sweetly fallen asleep.

"Knock~Knock~"

As soon as the day was bright, there were still some dewdrops on the leaves and grass, and two melodious bells rang, echoing on the ethereal peak, Lin Fan rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and thought about what Meng Jianshan said to him last night.

"One bell rings for dinner, and two bells rings for the square, just like two rings."

Thinking of this, Lin Fan hurriedly got up, quickly put on his clothes and boots, and trotted all the way to the stone turn square of the ethereal gate.

Ethereal Peak, it is said that the ancestor of the mountain opened the mountain to cultivate through the sky, moved a mountain to this mountain, and took advantage of the abundant aura of this mountain to create such a foundation.

The square is located in the center of the ethereal gate, the ground is made of cyan stone bricks, Lin Fan spread his feet and trotted all the way, when he first arrived at this square, he saw that all the disciples on the square had arrived, and they were chatting in twos and threes, hooking shoulders and backs.

After a while, Chenfeng and the three elders of the Ethereal Gate also arrived in the square one after another, and the four of them came to a table about three meters high in the front of the square, and sat down on the four Taishi chairs.

Standing on the left side of the four of them was Zhou Zhongchen, the senior brother of all the disciples.

"Dust, it's time to go"

Zhang Chenfeng, who was sitting in the middle of the Taishi chair, said to Zhou Zhongchen.

"Yes"

Zhou Zhongchen respectfully saluted Zhang Chenfeng, then walked a few steps, came to the front of the high platform, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Senior disciples, now I announce one thing, the current disciples of our Ethereal Sect are five hundred and fifty-four, and from now on, it will be five hundred and fifty-five, and the third elder Senior Uncle Lin recently accepted an apprentice, who is also your junior brother, named Lin Fan, who is eight years old this year, and now officially holds the apprenticeship ceremony."

When Lin Fan first arrived in this square, he had been taken to the back of the table by Meng Jianshan, waiting for further instructions from Zhou Zhongchen.

"Build a mountain, bring Senior Brother Lin up"

After hearing Zhou Zhongchen's words, Meng Jianshan hurriedly took Lin Fan to the stage and stood respectfully beside the stage.

"Lin Fan, come here and kneel down in front of the three elders," Zhou Zhongchen said solemnly.

Lin Fan walked in front of Lin Shi curiously, looked at Lin Shi, and then looked at the three people sitting next to Lin Shi, and did not kneel in front of Lin Shi as Zhou Zhongchen said.

"Lin Fan, kneel, it's your apprenticeship ceremony now," Zhou Zhongchen shouted.

"Forget it, there are no rules"

Lin Shi looked at Lin Fan kindly, and waved his hand to signal that Zhou Zhongchen did not need to be so rigid.

The third elder Lin Shi spoke, Zhou Zhongchen naturally didn't dare to disobey, and then Lin Shi spoke, there was nothing else to do, so he hung his hands and stood behind Zhang Chenfeng.

"From now on, you are my disciple of Lin Shi, I have already told you some of the situation of the Ethereal Sect yesterday, I must have told you some of the things that Senior Brother Jianshan has also told you, as a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, when you are successful in cultivation, you must not bully the weak, you must not do anything that humiliates the master, and most importantly, you must not easily show your strength in front of mortals, nor interfere in disputes between mortals, you are not literate and young now, I have been with the second elder, That is to say, your Uncle Zhao Mojian has said hello, Meng Jianshan and you will not arrange a rotation for the time being, and after you become literate, I will pass on your cultivation method."

After saying a few words, Lin Shi's old face turned red, because at this time, according to the previous rules, he wanted to give his apprentice a gift for apprenticeship, but Lin Shi searched for a long time in his three halls last night, and there was no gift worth selling.

Seeing Lin Shi's embarrassment, Zhang Chenfeng sighed secretly in his heart, this junior brother didn't accept apprentices before, but he was still poor, so he took out a bronze ring from his cuff, but before he could speak, he was snatched by Lin Shi.

The sharp-eyed Lin Shi, as soon as he saw this bronze ring, knew that this was a space magic weapon, although the appearance was no different from an ordinary ring, but the inside was very good, just like Sumeru mustard seeds, there could be another space in the ring.

Lin Shi took out the bronze ring in his hand, and said to Lin Fan with a smile: "This is the ring given to you by the teacher, you have to take it well, and you will understand its mystery when you officially practice."

"Do you want to be old-fashioned?"

Forcibly holding back the scolding words, Zhang Chenfeng scolded in his heart with a blushing face, seeing Lin Shi like this, the Great Elder Chen Li and the Second Elder Zhao Mojian hurriedly tightened the gifts that were supposed to be given, first, they were afraid that Lin Shi would snatch it away and say that it was given by him, and secondly, the door master even gave away the space magic weapon, and this gift of the two of them was not enough in front of the bronze ring, and their disciples were under the stage, and they couldn't pull down this old face.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Lin Shi had breakfast in the Ethereal Gate, and then came to his cave with Meng Jianshan, at this time Meng Jianshan was holding a large pile of books, and began to teach Lin Fan to read and write, today's ceremony was beyond the expectations of the disciples.

Sending Lin Fan's space magic weapon, everyone understood, after all, it was the first apprentice of the third elder Lin Shi, and it was Meng Jianshan who made everyone envious, and he didn't have to participate in the rotation, especially Zhou Zhongchen and other senior brothers who were on duty in the kitchen yesterday, they all scolded their mothers in their hearts, and such a good errand actually made Meng Jianshan run into it.

"This word reads people, one by one, hey, yes, yes, that's how it is written"

Every day at sunrise, Meng Jianshan came to this cave to teach Lin Fan to read, and it ended at sunset, more than four months have passed in the blink of an eye, Lin Fan finally knows most of the words, which is related to Meng Jianshan's painstaking teaching, and Lin Fan In addition to meal time, Lin Fan is lying on the stone table during the day to read and write, and finally lives up to Meng Jianshan's hard work.

"Well, if you continue at this rate, Uncle Kaichun Lin will start teaching you the key to cultivation next year."

Meng Jianshan looked at Lin Fan with satisfaction, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, at first he didn't have to participate in the rotation, as long as he taught Lin Fan to read and write, at that time, Meng Jianshan was happy, thinking that it could be easily completed, who knew that he talked and taught every day, every time Meng Jianshan made his mouth dry, it was better to go on duty, although the rotating kitchen would be harder, but it was only one day, and now the dawn of liberation finally shone on him.

At this time, it was a snowy winter, the ethereal peak and the surrounding mountains were covered in silver, Lin Shi did not set foot in this cave during Lin Fan's literacy period, only Lin Fan recognized all the words, Lin Shi would come to the cave to teach the method of cultivation.

In the spring of the second year, Lin Fan was also nine years old, no longer the skinny body, under the care of all the senior brothers of the Ethereal Gate, especially the senior brothers on duty, they would leave the best meat to Lin Fan, and feed Lin Fan with a shiny face.

"Very good, you have learned most of the words, so I'll pass on some of your basic skills first."

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on Lin Fan's stone bed, stretching his waist and yawning, Lin Fan, who had just woken up from the stone bed, saw Lin Shi sitting on the stone chair, flipping through the paper full of words written by himself, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Come with me, boy"

Lin Shi got up and walked outside the cave, Lin Fan hurriedly dressed, ran to Lin Shi and stood obediently.

"You remember, the road is simple, the road of cultivation is a road of no return, once you set foot on it, you can't turn back, there is no shortcut to this road, you have to accumulate strength bit by bit", Lin Shi began to teach Lin Fan the basic skills of cultivation after speaking.

Gathering the spirit is the basic skill of the cultivator, the so-called gathering of the spirit, is to feel the aura between heaven and earth, gather the aura in the body, with the aura to continue to wash the body, eliminate all impurities, and then in the heart to impact the heart with the aura, in the heart to form a small spring, is the spirit pool, with the improvement of the realm, this small spring will continue to expand, and want to improve the realm, it is necessary to continue to impact the dam fence when the aura in the small spring is full.

This dam is like a dam of a reservoir, only by washing out this dam can we enter the next realm, and to promote to the next realm, it is not that you can impact if you want to, only after experiencing battle, fighting and the perception of things, you can feel the signs of breakthrough.

And it's not like the strength of the next realm will rise immediately as soon as it breaks through, after the spirit pool successfully impacts the dam rail, it will decide the recovery time according to its own strength, the higher the cultivation, the slower the recovery speed of the spirit pool, just like a dry river dam.

"You close your eyes now, feel the aura between heaven and earth, and try to gather it into your body"

Lin Shi said solemnly at this time, not everyone can practice, otherwise the ancient city blessed by the Ethereal Gate, there are millions of mortals, compared to the cultivators of the ethereal peak on Shu Mountain, it will not be thousands to one, and being able to successfully gather spiritual energy is just to open the door to cultivation, but this step is also extremely important.

Lin Fan closed his eyes and began to follow Lin Shi's words to seriously comprehend the aura between heaven and earth.

"How is it, do you feel the aura, this aura is like ......"

After waiting for a while, Lin Shi opened his mouth to ask, but found that Lin Fan had fallen asleep standing up, so angry that he knocked Lin Fan's head with the back of his hand.

"You kid, no matter how many people want to squeeze their heads and want to enter the ethereal door, you are ...... You...... You"

Lin Shi was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Lin Fan speechless.

Lin Fan, who was woken up, stuck out his tongue mischievously, and began to seriously comprehend this aura, aura, is the essence of air, the better the air quality, it is possible to produce aura, otherwise it is the opposite.

Lin Fan closed his eyes again, taking his heart as the guide, and indeed found that in this heaven and earth, there was an aura that could not be seen by the naked eye, Lin Fan took a lot of effort to merge a ball of aura the size of a grain of rice into his body, as soon as the aura the size of a grain of rice entered the body, Lin Fan suddenly felt refreshed, as if the pores of his body were slightly open.

"Your qualifications are not very good, you have to know this, you can sense the aura to practice, you are barely a beginner now, this book is for the disciples of the Gathering Spirit Period to learn, you take it first to see, if you don't understand it, you can come to the three halls to find me"

In fact, this ball of aura the size of a grain of rice was not introduced into Lin Fan's body by himself, but Lin Shi secretly gathered it into Lin Fan's body to give this little kid a little confidence.

Lin Shi walked straight to the ethereal door with his sword, leaving Lin Fan, who was constantly scratching his head, holding the book of the Gathering Spirit Period Law Decision left by Lin Shi, Lin Fan sat on the stone chair and read it carefully.
