Buildings made of huge boulders are everywhere, and the ruins of the walls are piled up like rocks and rubble, and it is not difficult to see that this is an abandoned city that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years.

Standing on the cracked stone road, Chen Lingyun stretched out his wrinkled palm and gently touched the stone wall full of potholes.

The stone wall instantly turned into a large cloud of sand and dust, which continued to fall.

"Spiritual barriers."

The falling sand and dust were all blocked in front of Chen Lingyun by a transparent barrier, and no one splashed on him.

"Is it so badly weathered?"

Chen Lingyun looked at several large holes located a few hundred meters above the diagonal and shook his head slightly.

Chen Lingyun walked among the ruins. Looking at the massive ruins, he could feel how prosperous the city had been.

Walking and walking, Chen Lingyun came to a circular square, there was a base in the center of the square, there should have been a sculpture, but for some reason, it was gone.

"Temple?"

To the south of the square is the only well-preserved building still standing. It was a temple made of different materials from other buildings, which were made of hard granite.

This temple is the complete opposite of today's splendid and majestic temples.

It is restrained, subtle, and unpretentious, and does not have much decoration except for some reliefs on the walls and pillars outside, but it gives people the feeling that "the temple should be like this".

Chen Lingyun walked in. There is a hall in this temple, and directly opposite the gate is an altar of blessing, and on both sides of the altar are statues of the twelve primordial gods with different expressions and movements.

[No, how can there be thirteen? 】

As soon as Chen Lingyun walked into the temple, he felt a little discordant, but he couldn't say what it was. But now he found out that the statue of the twelve primordial gods had actually appeared thirteen!!

Chen Lingyun looked at the statues one by one, comparing them with the statues of the twelve primordial gods he had seen in the temple.

When he saw the statue on the far right, he was stunned.

"This, this can't be!"

Chen Lingyun's eyes widened, and his old face was full of surprise.

"This can't be, this can't ......"

Chen Lingyun took a step back slightly, and kept muttering.

It is buried deep underground, and the only contact with the outside world is the large holes above, which are not easy for sunlight and rain to enter, and the weathering rate of the buildings inside will be much slower than that outside. Even so, the building was largely knocked down at the touch of it, and the ruins have been around for at least a thousand years.

And it's very likely that this relic existed more than 1,600 years ago during the Great War that changed the era!

And the thirteenth statue ......

"He's definitely only fifteen years old this year, and it's impossible to go wrong with his bone age. But ......"

Chen Lingyun's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the thirteenth sculpture.

Although the silhouette is much less angular and looks much more mature, the appearance of the sculpture is clearly that-

Ryan!!!

…………

"Where did Grandpa Yun go? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Yang Xinyue stood in the shadow of the big tree and kicked the stone in boredom.

Chen Lingyun didn't tell her that she needed the Yunling Stone, so she didn't know what Chen Lingyun was doing now.

Ryan came back this time just to see if Hevina was still there.

Hevina wasn't there, so they put away the Bow of Nature and prepared to leave. But after they came to the outside of the village and waited for nearly a moment, Chen Lingyun still hadn't returned.

"Can't you contact him?" Ryan asked.

"You mean the communication magician?" Yang Xinyue said, "No." ”

Yang Xinyue waved her hand.

"That's too expensive. One requires millions of gold coins, and only two can be used together. And it's too chicken. ”

"How?"

"Its range of effect is only a kilometer, beyond which it cannot be used."

"Uh...... That's really ......."

The range is only a kilometer in radius. This can work in certain situations, but it doesn't really work in general.

"Isn't there a way to expand the range?"

"Who knows?" Yang Xinyue spread her hands, "The Magisters belonging to the three empires have been researching the communication magic guide all along, trying to expand its scope of effect to the point where it can be practical. ”

However, after more than 10 years of research, instead of expanding its scope, they have lost all the methods used to make it. No one has been able to make a communication wizard anymore. This has also led to the fact that communication magic guides are not in the market. ”

“。。。” Ryan was speechless.

[Is this group of people so weird? 】

After a while, Chen Lingyun came from a distance.

"Grandpa Yun, you're finally back! We've all been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Yang Xinyue ran to Chen Lingyun and complained.

"Haha......" Chen Lingyun smiled and rubbed Yang Xinyue's head apologetically, "I'm sorry, the scenery here is good, and I forgot the time all of a sudden." ”

"You've got your business done?"

Chen Lingyun came to Ryan's side and asked.

"Yes."

Ryan said.

I don't know why, Ryan felt that Chen Lingyun's eyes looking at him were a little infiltrating.

"Get in the car!"

"Would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

As soon as he sat down, Chen Lingyun looked at Ryan and asked.

"Huh!?" Ryan paused for a moment, felt Yang Xinyue pulling his sleeve, and quickly came back to his senses, "I do!" ”

Chen Lingyun had a smile on his face.

"Good."

Yang Xinyue tilted her head and looked at Chen Lingyun suspiciously.

Before, he had always been indifferent to Ryan, and now why did he think of taking Ryan as an apprentice?

Yang Xinyue couldn't understand it, and she didn't plan to understand it.

She only needed to know that Chen Lingyun would do her best to cultivate Ryan in the future.

"Ryan, have you started cultivating your spiritual power?"

"Not yet."

He spent all day long in the library except for training, and he didn't have time to cultivate his spiritual power at all.

[That's good.] 】

Chen Lingyun wanted Ryan to learn to control part of his spiritual power, and then become a magician, and consume his huge spiritual power by releasing magic.

But there is a very dangerous place in this - if he can't even control that little bit of spiritual power, his soul core will be swallowed up by his huge spiritual power in an instant! Even if he can control it, this is a disadvantage - his soul core can't bind that much spiritual power, and after consuming it, he can't replenish it, which wastes his huge spiritual power!

He has a better way now!

[I hope that old guy won't come over and fight with me after he knows that Ryan is my disciple.] 】

"What about meditation?"

"I haven't taught him yet!" Yang Xinyue said.

Chen Lingyun cared so much about Ryan, she was very happy. And after Ryan becomes Chen Lingyun's apprentice, then they will definitely have a chance to meet in the future!

"That's good! I'll teach you meditation now! ”
