Early morning in the depths of the mountains.

The milky white clouds surround this mountain, turning the high peaks into fairy islands in the sea, which is beautiful.

On top of one of the highest peaks, on the cliff behind the mountain, an old man with crane hair is making tea.

The fragrance is overflowing, attracting birds to cry around.

The old man, dressed in white and with a kind face, sprinkled rice for the birds, ignored the boiling tea on the charcoal stove, and faced out of the cliff with his hands. The wind blew his beard erratically, like an immortal family on the clouds, unfathomable.

"You're my little apple......"

An explosive ringtone suddenly remembered, the old man's feet slipped, almost fell off the cliff, and finally stood firm, only to put his hand into his trouser pocket and take out a copycat mobile phone, looked at the mobile phone screen, his face was pale, and he picked it up angrily, and said: "Little rabbit, why are you calling Lao Tzu so early?" ”

The other end of the phone said: "Tell the master, you get up and pee!" ”

"Young and poor, what are you looking for me?"

"I'm mainly asking you to mourn and change, although my senior brother is dead, you still have me."

"yes, that's what makes me sad."

"Nani?"

"If you die and Qifeng lives, I won't be sad."

"Come on, duplicitous old man. By the way, my healing ring is gone, it's the black one. ”

"Gone?"

"yes."

"Who snatched your ring? Lin Xiao, are you suing me? I'll bring someone to Pearl City right away. ”

"No, it's gone......"

The old man was stunned for a moment, a trace of pity flashed on his face, and he shook his head, silently listening to his favorite little apprentice tell him about the strange dream and the disappearing ring.

In the end, Lin Xiao suddenly asked: "Old man, tell me about my life experience, and what happened before I was ten years old!" I know, you must know! ”

"You can't say it...... you can't say it," the old man shook his head, "and you need to understand it yourself." ”

"Realize what a fart! I know that there are only two people in this world who know this, you and your senior brother, in case you burp one day, who will I ask? ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Criminals! ”

"Less nonsense! Do you say it or not? If you don't say it, I won't send money to the Bailing Mountain account, so that you don't have money to buy rice......"

"Hello? Feed? Oh, why is it so bad in this big mountain? Can you hear me? Feed? ”

Hung up the phone with a bang, and the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the ground.

Then, the old man's face became solemn: "The little guy is finally eighteen years old, is that secret going to be opened after all?" Time flies! It's fast! It's just that I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, I hope Lin Xiao can keep his demons...... Don't let me down......"

……

Doubts are doubts after all, and you can never guess just by thinking about them.

So, Lin Xiao didn't dwell on it anymore, he believed that the mystery of memory would eventually be solved, and the missing ring should not abandon him. This question, you should go back to Bailing Mountain to ask the master, with the chili water tiger chair or something, this old man is too hob, he actually said that the signal is not good, and he hung up the phone.

Lin Xiao has always felt that both the master and the senior brother are secretive about their life experience, as if they can hide something. Before, he didn't feel curious, but now he wants to know.

There was still some time before breakfast, and today was Sunday, so as is customary, breakfast was delayed by an hour.

Lin Xiao returned to the head of the bed and began to practice cross-legged.

Even if the dragon pattern no longer helps him refine his true qi, even if the healing ring disappears, Lin Xiao can't give up his cultivation, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and the relationship with him seems to be getting heavier and heavier, he can only do his best to improve his strength.

Especially last night, when he found out that Li Qinghua had advanced to the innate realm, Lin Xiao couldn't sit still.

First, he checked his strength, and in the late stage of the Yuan Realm, he hit the bottleneck, and besides, the distance was still far away.

Lin Xiao began to settle down.

The surrounding aura is very thin, but it is also slowly being absorbed by Lin Xiao's body, and pushed into the dantian, through the operation of the dantian, refining the true qi into true qi and storing it, and so on......

Suddenly, Lin Xiao felt a little hot, and his body began to sweat. He thought, it's autumn, how can the temperature be so high? Moreover, I didn't turn on the air conditioner!

Thundered......

A strange voice came.

Lin Xiao suddenly stopped practicing and opened his eyes. Stunned.

Smack.

Lin Xiao slapped himself twice, thinking that he was dreaming, but the pain was very real, it was not a dream.

At this time, he was in a dark space, and his face was rushing overhead.

Yes, this is the space that Lin Xiao dreamed of last night.

"What are you kidding?"

Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva, obviously unwilling to believe it, after all, a moment ago, he was still sitting on the bed of the Liu family's villa.

"Dear Master, welcome to the Guardian Space."

A hoarse voice rang out.

Lin Xiao looked around, there was no one, he remembered last night's dream, and subconsciously looked under him.

Sure enough, a stone in the ground began to tremble, and finally stood up, it was the stone dragon I had seen in my dream last night.

"Lacacido?" Lin Xiao was not afraid at all, this was not because he was bold, but a kind of trust from the depths of his soul, like a partner in life and death, from the moment he saw it, Lin Xiao seemed to know that this big guy would never hurt himself.

"Yes, master! I am your mount, the stone dragon Lacacido. "This is a stone dragon more than ten meters long, with a diameter of about one meter, and a slender and agile body. Moreover, his limbs and skin were stones, and in the cracks of the stones, red fire shone through.

"This is the guardian space, so what does it have to do with the guardian ring?" Lin Xiao asked.

"I am your life guardian stone beast, and my mission in life is to protect you. Therefore, I am the creator of this guardian space, and you are the master of this space, its mission is to heal your injuries and protect your life, of course, because the lava contains a large amount of heaven and earth aura, it can also increase your cultivation speed here. "And that black guardian ring, which was made of my last stone, is a small guardian space. In other words, the ability to protect space is a thousand times that of the guardian ring. ”

"A thousandfold?" Lin Xiao was completely shocked, you know, the previous guardian ring was already enough to break the cow, if it was enhanced thousands of times, what kind of concept was it?

Roar -

The stone dragon roared suddenly, spewing out flames.

Dozens of meters of closed stone caves were suddenly lit up by firelight, and then, the firelight fell onto the stone wall, condensing into a closely connected strange pattern, and then, those patterns and patterns lit up.

Boom Boom

The face above his head surged, and then, the golden light spread along the lines of the stone wall. In the end, it converged under Lin Xiao.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Array, which can absorb the aura from the River of Gathering Lava for you to cultivate." Shi Long said, "The space and time here are independent of the outside space-time, so no matter how long you stay here, the time outside will not pass at all. However, depending on the host's awakening process, the amount of time you can spend here will be different. Today is the day you have just turned eighteen, the day your awakening begins, and your soul strength is still fragile, and you can only stay here for a quarter of an hour. So, please do your best to absorb these aura. ”

"Eighteen? Mine, birthday? Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide in surprise.
