"What is this?" Yue Mingju looked at the sky with some confusion, then looked down at the ring at his feet, hesitated, or bent down to pick it up.

This is a very plain-looking silver ring, there is no pattern on it, only on the inside of the ring, you can see a small mark, I don't know what it means.

"Where did this fall from?" Yue Mingju looked at the sky again, only to see that the sky was almost dark, and there was not even a single cloud.

The ring looked unremarkable, and Yue Mingju looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything, so he stuffed it into his pocket, and then walked into another thatched hut where his younger brother Yue Mingsheng was.

"Brother, look, I have refined the elixir, you should take it quickly. ”

"Brother, your face looks so bad. Yue Mingsheng sat up with support, looked at the pale Yue Mingju, and said with some worry.

"I'm fine, if you take the pill quickly, you will feel much better. ”

Yue Mingju reached into his pocket and took out the pill box, but accidentally, he also brought out the ring that had just been stuffed in, and the ring fell to the ground, flashing a glimmer of light.

"Hey, brother, what is this?" Yue Mingsheng said with some curiosity when he saw the ring on the ground.

"I just picked it up, and I don't know who left it, so if you like it, I'll give it to you. ”

Yue Mingju said and bent down to pick up the ring, and the moment his fingers grabbed the ring, he suddenly snorted, only to see a hole in the fingertip, and bright red blood was oozing out.

"Brother!" Yue Mingsheng was startled, and Yue Mingju shook his head: "It's nothing, I didn't know what I cut just now, and the wound is not deep." ”

As he spoke, the blood oozing from his fingertips slipped onto the ring that was clawed between his fingers.

The next moment, the blood stained on the ring disappeared strangely, as if it had been absorbed by the ring.

Yue Mingju was shocked, and his complexion also changed.

Younger brother Yue Mingsheng was very keenly aware of Yue Mingju's abnormality: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Ming came back to his senses, shook his head, and put down the pill box: "It's nothing, Mingsheng, you take the pill first, and then eat something by yourself, brother has something to do, go out for a while, and come back soon." ”

Yue Mingsheng nodded a little uncertainly, and then watched Yue Mingju stand up and hurriedly go out.

After going out, Yue Mingju looked left and right, and then waded across the small river in front of the courtyard and walked into a small maple forest on the opposite bank.

"Little one, I'm asking you, are you a dumb person?"

As soon as he walked into the forest, an old voice sounded in Yue Mingju's mind.

Yue Mingju trembled and looked left and right: "Who is it? Who are you? Who is talking?"

The old voice sounded again: "Where are you looking, am I not in your hand?"

Yue Ming's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at his palm, only to see that the silver ring was lying quietly in his palm, emitting a trace of silver light.

"Yes...... Is the ring talking?" Yue Mingju's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Is the ring a refinement?"

"You're the ring. The old voice sounded again with some dissatisfaction: "It's not the ring that speaks, it's me who speaks, and I'm inside the ring." ”

"Inside the ring?" Yue Mingju was speechless in surprise, and after a long time, he asked, "How can people be in the ring? Who are you?"

The old voice sighed, "Well, of course people are not in the ring, but I am no longer human. ”

"Not a person?" Even though Yue Mingju was determined, he couldn't help but be startled: "Is it a ghost?"

"You can say that. The old voice said: "Now I am only a wisp of remnant soul, and it is not wrong to say that it is a ghost." ”

I don't know why, knowing that the other party is a ghost, the more Mingju is incredibly calm, maybe in such a world, the unknown existence is more terrifying than the ghost.

From the mouth of this old voice, Yue Mingju learned that he was the previous owner of this ring, named Chen Lao, and this ring is also a treasure, named Na Ling Ring, and Chen Lao's remnant soul is in this Na Ling Ring.

Chen Lao told Yue Mingju that he was the embodiment of a top power on the continent, as the agent of that power, looking for someone destined on the Doufa Continent, but for various reasons, he encountered a powerful opponent and broke out into a big battle, although he was killed, but he only had a wisp of remnant soul left, and he had to merge with this Na Ling Ring to protect the remaining wisp of soul.

"What kind of person is destined?" asked Yue Mingju.

Elder Chen's voice came out: "The top power of my body has created a cultivation academy where only geniuses can get a glimpse of the true appearance. ”

"Cultivation Academy?" Yue Mingju said in surprise, "What is that?"

"That's something that's more advanced than any sect or family. Elder Chen said proudly: "Its appearance will shake the entire continent, and I am just looking for geniuses who are qualified to enter the cultivation academy, and I am traveling around the continent." ”

"This Na Ling Ring is used to test the qualifications, and your blood fusion awakens the Na Ling Ring, and the me who is sleeping in the Na Ling Ring, which means that you have this qualification. ”

"I?qualifications?" Yue Mingju was completely in a state of dizziness, being instilled by Chen Lao, only feeling in the clouds, as if he understood and didn't seem to understand.

"That's right, you have the qualifications to enter the cultivation academy. Chen Lao spoke: "Being able to pick up the Naling Ring is also your luck." ”

"So, can I go to that cultivation academy?" Yue Mingju understood this, and his spirit suddenly perked up: "Elder Chen, listen to what you said, what kind of cultivation academy is very powerful, even more powerful than Danta?"

"Hmph, Danta is nothing, but he only has a slight attainment in alchemy. Chen Lao said disdainfully: "The cultivation academy is the existence of all rivers, martial arts, law paths, Dan paths, instrument paths, everything. ”

"So powerful?" Yue Mingju was completely fooled: "Then where is it?"

Chen Lao smiled lightly: "Don't be too complacent, awakening the Na Ling Ring is just the most basic qualification, if you want to enter the cultivation academy, with your strength, it's still early." ”

"Huh?" Yue Mingju was suddenly a little disappointed: "Why?

"That's nature, don't say anything else, let me ask you, what realm is this?" said Elder Chen.

Yue Mingju replied: "This is Nanfeng Domain. ”

"Hmph, it turned out to be the Nanfeng Domain, no wonder the aura is so thin, the Nanfeng Domain where you are now is just the lower and lower domains of the Hundred Domains of the Continent, and the Cultivation Academy, but in the Upper Domain, even if the Cultivation Academy opens the door for you, with your strength, how can you go to the Upper Domain?"

Although Yue Mingju is just a little guy who lives in the slums, he also has a bit of common sense, knowing that the so-called Upper Domain is a place that those big people who are official alchemists often mention in a tone of envy and admiration, and even the big people of Danta can't go, let alone a small shrimp himself?

Suddenly, Yue Mingju lost interest: "Then forget it, I still want to become a first-grade alchemist more than any cultivation academy." Three days later, it's the Dan Yuan Festival of the Dan Tower, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to be accepted as an alchemy apprentice by an official alchemist at the Dan Yuan Meeting. ”

"Hmph, it's not a good idea. Chen Lao snorted and said: "You are the person who was selected by the cultivation academy, a mere first-grade alchemist, what is it, with me to help you, don't talk about alchemy apprentices, you will win the Danyuan meeting, and it will be easy to become a Danying." ”

"Can you help me become an alchemist?" Yue Mingju suddenly widened his eyes and asked excitedly.

"That's nature, I'...... Ahem, what kind of person is my old man, just Nanfengyu Danta, if it is usual, I can't look down on it at all. Chen Lao said lightly: "However, if you want me to help you, you can do it, but there is one condition." ”

"What conditions?" Yue Mingju immediately said, "As long as I can become an alchemist, any conditions are fine." ”

"Nothing, it's simple. Chen Lao chuckled and said, "You must worship me as a teacher first!"
