Zhang Bairen had come to the depths of the cave at this time, the cave was a little dim, he looked for the flickering light, slowly groped forward, after walking around a corner, he suddenly found the light source, it looked like a stone platform, after confirming the safety of the surroundings, he slowly walked towards the glowing place.

When he came closer, he suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, "What is this?"

I saw that the stone platform was in the shape of a basin, and at the bottom of the basin there was a bead that was emitting a warm white light, which looked as dazzling as a night pearl, and there was a pile of stone shells next to the beads, which looked like broken egg shells, which should have peeled off from this bead.

Zhang Bairen slowly stretched out his hand to reach for the bead, after he picked up the bead, the stone platform instantly collapsed, becoming a piece of gravel, suddenly Zhang Bairen was confused, was startled, slowly he put away his thoughts, carefully looked at the glowing bead, "Is this the "fruit" of this stone platform?" he guessed in his heart.

Then Zhang Bairen made a speechless move, only to see him gently put the beads into his mouth and lick them, "Sweet, and a milky fragrance, what is this?" Zhang Bairen said to himself.

Then he threw the whole bead into his mouth and snorted, if this was discovered by a master, he would definitely be angry and thunderous! This is a very rare genius earth treasure "Earth Spirit Stone" Many cultivators may not be able to see this rare treasure in their lifetime, if this earth spirit stone has been refined by the alchemy master, at least a dozen foundation building pills can be refined, that is, it can instantly create more than a dozen foundation building period monks, which is a big temptation for any sect.

"Gollum... Ahem..." Zhang Bairen didn't know how to get it, it was also possible that the bead was too slippery, and he swallowed it all at once, so frightened that he immediately coughed loudly, wanting to cough out the stone bead, "This is a stone, if you swallow it rashly, something will happen" He muttered to himself.

But after coughing for a long time, he didn't cough up the beads, and even used the hand buckle method, but it was still fruitless, so he simply didn't cough, and then he felt it carefully, and found that there was no discomfort in his body, so he walked out of the cave with a big grin.

It's just that what he didn't know was that the Lingfeng Beast had discovered this treasure in the first place, so he had been waiting here, not allowing anyone to approach, waiting for the spirit bead to mature.

After Zhang Bairen got out of the cave, he saw that it was not too early, so he planned to go back, anyway, now there are many prey at home, and everything that can't be eaten has been made into cured meat by Aunt Li and preserved, so he plans to go back empty-handed.

After returning home, Zhang Bairen felt very thirsty, so he secretly drank a large scoop of mountain spring water. It's so sweet," Zhang Bairen sighed.

"You kid drink cold water again... Be careful that your stomach hurts" Aunt Li, who went to the back of the house to wash the vegetables, happened to see this scene, smiled and complained, as if she regarded Bairen as her own son.

"Hey, hey... It's okay! I'm in good health," Zhang Bairen grinned.

"You... Go and call Xiao Tao to come back, it's time to eat," Aunt Li nodded Zhang Bairen's nose and then said with a smile.

After nightfall, Zhang Bairen quietly slipped out, and ran to the bamboo forest outside the house alone to meditate cross-legged, in fact, he has been like this all this time, every night after Aunt Li and they fell asleep, he secretly ran out to meditate and breathe, he has never forgotten the master's explanation, and never dared to slack off.

But he didn't sit for a while before his mouth was dry, "What's the matter, why are you so thirsty?" he muttered to himself, and ran to the water tank at the back of the house and drank a large scoop of spring water before returning to the bamboo forest.

According to the mantra taught to him by his master at the beginning, he silently recited in his heart over and over again, "Heaven and earth are the origin, the original is one, the cycle is repeated, it circulates for me, the qi sinks into the dantian, absorbs all spirits, and all living beings are a drop in ·····" He fell asleep slowly, but he did not know the true meaning of the mantra, and the old man did not tell him, but told him that he would understand it in the future.

Now he is accustomed to meditating and reciting the formula to fall asleep, as if the mantra is a lullaby, and he has completely used it as a tool for self-hypnosis.

In the dream, Zhang Bairen came to the crater again, but he didn't run away as before, but he still didn't know that he was dreaming, he was still very scared, and he felt very uncomfortable being roasted by the heat wave, he just wanted to leave this place quickly, but found that he couldn't move at the moment, and suddenly the boundless fear stimulated his nerves.

Just when he didn't know what to do, something more terrifying happened, the flame that he had been chasing for his life and running away from before actually reappeared, but at this time in his dream, he still felt like a demon flame that he had never seen before, his pupils dilated rapidly, only to see that the flame was only ten centimeters away from him, the scorching temperature roasted him, he felt that his body was about to burn, and the skin on his body also felt like it was going to burst inch by inch, it hurt to the heart, and the pain was extreme.

Then the flame suddenly opened like an abyssal mouth, suddenly opened the devil's mouth, and spewed a ball of flame towards him, and instantly his whole body was surrounded by a sea of fire, and his body was also burning with flames at the moment, the pain in his heart made him faint, just when he felt confused, and felt that he was about to die, in the fog, he seemed to see a ball of white light wrapping his body, and suddenly felt a cool attack on his body, very comfortable, slowly, he lost consciousness.

A rooster crowed, he slowly opened his eyes, and his consciousness gradually woke up, "Why did I have that nightmare again, I haven't done it for a long time" Zhang Bairen muttered to himself.

"Wow, what's going on?" At this time, he realized that his whole body was already soaked, and his body was as if it had been coated with a layer of black ink, and it was also smeared with a foul smell, and he was about to vomit.

"No matter, hurry up and go to the river to take a bath" I'm afraid he is the only one who went to bathe in the river just after dawn, it is late autumn now, and the river water in the early morning exudes a chill, but he doesn't feel anything, I don't know what the reason is, he never knew that he was afraid of the cold, even if it was icy and snowy, he could still go down to the river to bathe, and his body didn't feel the cold at all, maybe it was because of this that he was lucky not to be frozen to death since he was a child.

After taking a shower, he immediately felt refreshed, and after putting on his freshly washed wet clothes, he hurried back.

On the way back, he seemed to find that his body seemed to have undergone some changes, such as at this moment, he was still a few hundred meters away from home, but he found that he could clearly see that Xiao Tao at the door was putting on his coat.

He rubbed his eyes and reconfirmed his position, only to realize that he was not mistaken, "How did my eyesight become so good?" he muttered to himself.

On the way back, he was even more surprised, even in the distance in the woods shuttle and flying, he can see the tiny mosquitoes clearly, at this time he actually felt that he still had an illusion, because he felt that today's mosquitoes, as well as all kinds of birds flying very slowly, he felt that he could easily catch up.

He smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm sleeping," he said, and walked home.

It turned out that it was indeed not an illusion, and in the following time, he was as light as a swallow, and could easily surpass the speed of birds, but he could not fly yet, and with such skill, hunting was as simple as picking up something for him, but he never told anyone about it.

Time flies, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, the village has undergone a lot of changes, Zhang Bairen relied on his hunting skills to earn a lot of wealth for the family, the previous small earthen house has long been replaced by a small courtyard that is quite stylish, but recently he wants to go out more and more strongly, although he is also very reluctant to this "home".

Now he is thirteen or fourteen years old, he is already a tall and handsome guy, and Xiao Tao is also slim and slim, and he has become a little beauty, looking at Xiao Tao and Aunt Li at the table, he is eating breakfast a little absent-mindedly.

At this time, Xiao Tao saw his strange appearance, and asked with a smile, "Brother, what do you want? Why are you listless early in the morning, this is not you!"

"Go..." Zhang Bairen gave her an angry look.

"Slightly..." Little Peach stuck out her tongue.

"Bairen, do you have something on your mind? Come out and see if Auntie can help you," Aunt Li looked at Zhang Bairen with concern and said.

"Uh... Auntie, I want to go out and have a look" Zhang Bairen hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said.

"Oh... , go if you want, men always have to go out and have a good time, see the world" Aunt Li nodded and said, she seemed to have expected this day to come.

"Uh, Auntie... You, agreed?" Zhang Bairen said with some surprise.
