The black lotus flew out without warning, crashed head-on into Zhang Yunfan, drilled into the center of the eyebrows, flew directly into the sea of knowledge, and quickly took root on the bank of the river in the sea of knowledge, emitting a strange ghostly light.

Immediately after Zhang Yunfan, he found that the black lotus began to swallow his divine sense, and the speed was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, most of his divine consciousness disappeared. The divine consciousness was suddenly exhausted, and at the same time that this feeling made Zhang Yunfan feel frightened, a strong sense of dizziness rose in his brain, his feet staggered, and his eyelids fell to the ground.

I don't know how long later, when Zhang Yunfan woke up, he found that the oil lamp had long been extinguished, and there was darkness around him.

Sitting up cross-legged, Zhang Yunfan rubbed his head, remembered the scene that happened before he fell into a coma, and was uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly calmed down and observed the black lotus that suddenly broke into the sea of consciousness.

The black lotus is still quietly rooted in the river of Zhihai, but the sea of knowledge has undergone an earth-shaking transformation, and the originally clear Zhihai River has become a big ink-colored river, and its width has increased by at least five or six meters, rolling and flowing.

Since opening up the sea of knowledge, Zhang Yunfan will study the sea of knowledge whenever he is free, and according to the memory of the Cangsheng clan, he will study them one by one, as far as he knows, the river in the sea of knowledge is actually formed by the convergence of divine consciousness, and the wider the river, the stronger the divine consciousness is.

And this river of condensed divine consciousness will eventually become wider and wider with the cultivation of the cultivator and the continuous improvement of divine consciousness, until it evolves into a sea, and as long as the divine consciousness is continuously improved, the depth and area of the ocean will rise accordingly, and become a boundless ocean.

Now the river condensed by the divine consciousness has suddenly become wider, and the divine consciousness has increased, but Zhang Yunfan can't understand why the divine consciousness has increased several times for no reason, and the area of the river has also widened, which makes him puzzled.

"Could it be the black lotus?" Zhang Yunfan thought silently in his heart, although he immediately looked for the answer in the memory of the Cangsheng clan, but unfortunately found nothing, this Zhang Yunfan became more and more confused, and then went to look for the Divine Dragon Inheritance, looked for a long time, and finally searched for the answer, and at the same time had a trace of surprise in his heart, "Alas, why are you so stupid?" The black lotus is clearly a medicinal herb, and the Shenlong clan is proficient in pharmacology, so of course they know more. ”

According to the legend of the dragon inheritance, the black lotus is called "Soul Lotus", the attribute is domineering, there are nine grades, and the first grade of the Soul Lotus is the weakest, but it is not something that ordinary monks can approach, because this thing feeds on devouring the soul of the gods, but if it gets close, it will be sucked dry of the soul and die, so it is also named "Broken Soul Lotus".

However, according to the description in the Divine Dragon Inheritance, the Soul Refining Lotus can be used to refine the divine sense, and if it is used well, it will be of great help to improve the divine sense.

After browsing the memories of the Shenlong Clan, Zhang Yunfan's heart turned from worry to joy, and his mind moved according to the method described by the Shenlong Clan, and summoned the Soul Refining Lotus. The Soul Refining Lotus, which was glowing with black light all over its body, was suspended in Zhang Yunfan's palm, slowly rotating, revealing a strange luster.

"This soul refining lotus should only be a second grade, but how could it run into my sea of consciousness?" Zhang Yunfan was confused. Previously, Zhang Yunfan learned about the method of controlling the Soul Refining Lotus, but there was a premise that this thing would not actively attach itself to people, and it had to be refined by the method of blood refining.

Just when Zhang Yunfan was puzzled, a man's voice suddenly floated out of the Soul Refining Lotus, "Doll, you don't have to feel strange, I controlled the Soul Refining Lotus into your sea of consciousness." ”

Zhang Yunfan was startled, and the Soul Refining Lotus placed in his palm was thrown out by him, and then he made a defensive gesture and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”

The Soul Refining Lotus was thrown out, but instead of falling to the ground, it was suspended in mid-air, and the ghostly light emitted was even stronger.

"Doll, who are you in my cave right now and asking me?" The old voice in the soul refining lotus sounded again, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, and without waiting for Zhang Yunfan to answer, he explained to himself, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, if I want to hurt you, just now when you are unconscious, I can let you die without a place to be buried......"

After listening to the other party's story, Zhang Yunfan finally understood, turned his head to look at the bones on the side, stretched out his finger and pointed at the bones and asked, "That's your bones?" ”

The voice was interrupted, and the old man's voice paused before admitting: "Yes, that is my bones, I inadvertently got this soul refining lotus back then, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't wait to refine it, who would have thought that this thing was too domineering, not only sucked my divine consciousness dry, but even my divine soul did not escape, and since then I have been trapped here, no matter how I use my means, I can't escape the soul refining lotus, and my true body will slowly decay." ”

The old man sighed semanticly, and a few words of understatement made Zhang Yunfan feel a strong sense of crisis, and he was afraid in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of himself, if the soul refining lotus also sucked his soul away just now, then soon, there will be one more skeleton here that no one asks.

"Who are you? How did you build a cave here? Zhang Yunfan is most concerned about the identity of the old man.

The old man explained, "The old man was originally the elixir elder of Canglu Academy, and when he came to the academy, he couldn't afford to pay the spirit stone of the mansion, so he built a grass house in Tiezhu Peak and settled down, in order to avoid being disturbed by people to make alchemy, he dug a cave in the belly of the mountain, and then after some penance, the realm was improved step by step, until he became an elixir elder, and occasionally came back to live for a period of time, retreating and cultivating in the cave." ”

After listening to the other party's story, Zhang Yunfan was secretly speechless, he didn't expect this person to be so big, and the confusion in his heart was immediately relieved.

But one yard is one yard, although the old man deserves sympathy, but the action just now almost killed Zhang Yunfan, and anyone will feel unhappy in their hearts, and Zhang Yunfan is the same. Thinking of this, his face suddenly fell, and he asked sternly, "Elder, although your experience is worthy of sympathy, but without my consent, you manipulated the Soul Refining Lotus to enter my sea of consciousness without authorization, causing me to almost lose my life, how can you explain it?" ”

The old man didn't think so, but smiled, "Your son is cheap and obedient, the old man is now trapped in the Soul Refining Lotus, just trying to find a place to live, if you help me reshape my true body, this Soul Refining Lotus and all the items here can be regarded as a thank you gift, how about it?" ”

has experienced a lot of things, Zhang Yunfan is no longer as ignorant as before, easy to trust others, not to mention that he is not familiar with the old man, even acquaintances will have betrayal, this kind of thing Zhang Yunfan has not experienced, so he will not believe the old man so easily.

"There is no need for gifts, although the Soul Refining Lotus is a good thing, but this thing is yours, and I can't be blessed, after all, it is not so easy to reshape the real body, I don't have that ability, you can find a reliable person to help, such as the dean of Canglu Academy, since you were the elder of the dean, presumably the dean will not miss the old love." Zhang Yunfan spoke, on the one hand, he was shirking, and on the other hand, he was questioning the old man.

The two sides were ignorant, and the old man couldn't help but manipulate the black lotus to enter Zhang Yunfan's sea of knowledge, which in itself aroused suspicion.

Secondly, the old man claimed that he was the elixir elder of Canglu Academy, with a high status and deep qualifications, and it was impossible not to have half a friend, but he chose Zhang Yunfan, a low-level and strange person, to ask for help, instead of his friend, this matter was extremely strange.

"Is the Dean so nice? What's more, the dean likes to travel around, and it is too difficult to find Shenlong when he sees the head and the end. The old man sighed.

Zhang Yunfan had heard from people before, the whereabouts of the dean of Canglu College were mysterious, some deans stayed in the ethereal peak for retreat and cultivation all year round, and there were also people who liked to travel in the red dust, and they just happened to match the old man's law. But all in all, it's hard to see the dean.

But Zhang Yunfan did not waver his thoughts because of the old man's explanation, and his heart was still full of vigilance. He then added, "Then you must have friends!" That's easy, you give me an address, and I'll help you send the black lotus over, which can be regarded as my snack for the elders. ”

After hearing this, the old man suddenly laughed three times, with a hint of banter in his laughter, and then asked, "Doll, do you know what a friend is?" ”

Regarding the question of friends, Zhang Yunfan, as a native of the earth, has already thought deeply about it after experiencing a series of human changes, so he answered without thinking, "Cats have cats and dogs, and they are friends with each other, it's as simple as that." ”

The old man's tone was profound: "Doll, you need to know that people's minds change, if there is a conflict of interest, even if there is a betrayal of relatives, let alone friends?" The Soul Refining Lotus is a sacred object, if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the old man will have a wisp of remnant soul, and he will not even have the strength to resist, and he will definitely die. ”

The old man has a strong sense of crisis, but what he said is not unreasonable, just like - people's hearts will become! The old man has been missing for so many years, who knows if the original friend is still the same as before, the change of time to a person is imperceptible, and it may have long been a matter of people.

But Zhang Yunfan's original intention was to refuse, so he couldn't analyze the problem from the perspective of the old man. He retreated and said: "That's good, you pick a few people who had a good relationship before, and I will help you test each other, if people don't change their minds, then it will definitely be a good thing for you." ”

The words have come to this point, and a fool can see that Zhang Yunfan really doesn't want to get involved with the old man's, so he shirks it in every possible way, and even comes up with the weird idea of testing people's hearts, which shows how firm his inner thoughts are.

"Alas......" the old man sighed, "It's late, just now the Soul Refining Lotus entered your sea of consciousness and has been connected with you, if it is forcibly stripped away, it will only cause you harm, at least the realm will fall, and at worst it will be killed, so you have to help me reshape my body." ”

Zhang Yunfan knew the changes in the sea, and now when he heard the old man like this, his mood suddenly became gloomy.

"Why did you choose me? Am I, a stranger, so trustworthy that you can trust, even more than your old friends? Zhang Yunfan didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so he got straight to the point and shook out the doubts in his heart.
