The basement of a security company is extremely inaccessible, and in order to enter the basement, you must enter a triple password to enter the core of the basement.

The reason why Lin Tao built such a complex basement was because there were too many enemies at the beginning, and he was afraid that one day he would be cornered, just in case of emergency, but he didn't expect that it would become a secret room for storing ore.

After the three of them got out of the secret room, Lin Tao entered the password, and the door made of steel plates and titanium alloys slowly opened, and in an instant, a majestic energy came to him.

"As I expected!"

When Lin Tao saw the black stones piled up in the secret room, his face showed ecstasy.

"What the hell is going on with Xiao Tao, don't sell it."

Shen Manli couldn't wait to know the truth, so she urged.

Lin Tao smiled mysteriously, took out a black stone from his arms, shook it in front of Shen Manli and Fan Xiaojun, and said with a smile: "Do you think this kind of stone is very familiar?" ”

Fan Xiaojun was surprised: "Isn't this the same as the ore we dug up?" ”

"Xiao Tao, how come you have this kind of ore in your hand?" Shen Manli asked.

Lin Tao's smile gradually retracted, and he said with a straight face: "This kind of stone was obtained by me abroad a few days ago, and it is called a power stone abroad, and in our Huaxia, it is called a 'cultivation stone'. ”

"Cultivation Stone?"

Shen Manli and Fan Xiaojun said in unison.

"That's right, it's a cultivation stone, this kind of stone has its own aura, which can help cultivators quickly improve their cultivation."

Shen Manli heard Lin Tao's explanation, and her pretty face showed joy, "In this way, we have so many cultivation stones, wouldn't we be able to let your cultivation directly rush to the highest level?" ”

Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing in the realm needs a circular economy, but it can't be messed around, otherwise it will be devoured by the demons in the heart and go crazy." ”

After a pause, Lin Tao said again, "Although there are many cultivation stones here, the spiritual power they use together is about the same as the spiritual power of this cultivation stone on my body. ”

"This cultivation stone of yours is so powerful?" Fan Xiaojun's eyes widened as he looked at the cultivation stone in Lin Tao's hand.

Lin Tao said: "My cultivation stone fell from the sky, I heard the Hongmen Sect Master say that it may be a spirit stone from the upper realm, and the quality of our cultivation stones dug out from the ground must be much worse than this cultivation stone on my body." ”

Some of the information that Lin Tao inadvertently revealed made Shen Manli and Fan Xiaojun look confused.

"Xiao Tao, where are you talking about the upper realm? Could it be ......" Shen Manli stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky.

Lin Tao sighed, shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know very well, I just heard rumors, I don't know if there is really another world in the world, maybe one day I will figure it out." ”

Shen Manli didn't continue the topic, looked at the cultivation stones stacked on the ground, and said, "What are you going to do with this batch of cultivation stones?" ”

In fact, during the time when Lin Tao went down to the basement just now, he had already thought about the purpose of this batch of cultivation stones. At most, there are still a few months before he will cultivate into an earth immortal, and then he will go to the cave in the depths of Huashan, and let the mysterious old man take him to another world, if he leaves, the most reassuring thing is the life safety of these confidants, in order to let them have the ability to protect themselves after they leave, Lin Tao decided to use this batch of cultivation stones to make them cultivation masters.

"Manli, have you ever thought about becoming a cultivator like me?" Lin Tao looked at Shen Manli solemnly and asked.

"Huh?" Shen Manli looked at Lin Tao in surprise, "What do you mean...... Do you want me to cultivate? ”

"Well, with this batch of cultivation stones, I can make you and Chang Jiali all into cultivation masters, how about it, do you want to cultivate?"

Shen Manli said curtly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to learn. ”

Lin Tao laughed, "Don't worry, I will help you open up the sea of qi, and then teach you the method of absorbing the mind, and then you can just absorb the spiritual energy in the cultivation stone." ”

Shen Manli thought about it, then pursed her lips and nodded with a smile and said, "In order not to be a burden to you in the future, I am willing to learn!" ”

"Brother Tao, can you teach me too?" Fan Xiaojun on the side rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, you're indispensable."

Lin Tao has always regarded Fan Xiaojun as his most loyal subordinate, and Fan Xiaojun is indeed loyal enough, so there is nothing inappropriate for Lin Tao to make Fan Xiaojun a cultivator.

"Now that you've made up your mind, let's start now, how about it?"

Lin Tao looked at Shen Manli and asked.

Shen Manli was surprised and said, "So urgent? ”

Lin Tao secretly sighed in his heart, "I can't help but be in a hurry, I'm afraid that my days in this world are numbered, only by making you all masters of cultivation earlier, with the ability to protect myself, can I go to another world to explore the deeper mysteries of cultivation without worry." ”

Lin Tao looked at Shen Manli and smiled, and said, "Can you not be in a hurry, there are still many people lined up behind, I will help you condense the sea of qi first, and then you can cultivate on your own, cultivation can make you stay young!" ”

"Really?" Shen Manli looked surprised.

"Of course, at least you can live to be one hundred and fifty years old!"

"That'...... Then you hurry up and help me condense the sea of qi, I have to hurry up and cultivate. ”

A woman's nature is to love beauty, and as soon as she heard that cultivation can stay young, Shen Manli's whole person suddenly became extremely excited.

"Xiaojun, you go out first, and after I condense the sea of qi for Manli, I will help you condense."

"Okay, Brother Tao!"

Fan Xiaojun glanced at Lin Tao gratefully, turned around and walked outside.

Lin Tao instructed: "Don't let anyone come here, when I condense the sea of qi for Manli, don't bother me even if something big happens!" ”

Fan Xiaojun nodded and said, "Brother Tao, don't worry, I'll stay outside the gate and won't let anyone disturb you." ”

Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "Condensing the sea of qi is not a few minutes, it can be done in ten minutes, you better not stay outside, this place is relatively secret, and no one usually comes." ”

"How long will it take?" Fan Xiaojun asked curiously.

Lin Tao said: "Depending on each person's situation, the slowest is only half a day." ”

"What about the fastest?" Shen Manli hurriedly asked.

Lin Tao said: "Half an hour at the earliest." ”

"Why is there such a big difference between people?" Shen Manli was a little puzzled.

Lin Tao said angrily: "Then tell me why some people are as smart as foxes and some people are as stupid as pigs?" Condensing the sea of qi also depends on the other party's understanding, if the understanding is good, it will take a short time, and if the understanding is poor, it will take a long time, just like memorizing a classical Chinese, a smart person can roughly memorize it after reading it a few times, and a stupid person may not be able to memorize it for a day, this is the gap. ”

Shen Manli stuck out her tongue coquettishly and said, "I hope I'm not a stupid person in my mouth!" ”

Lin Tao quipped: "Don't worry, even if you are a fool, I can forcibly help you successfully condense the sea of qi, don't worry." ”

Shen Manli glanced at Lin Tao charmingly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I want to realize it myself." ”

Lin Tao smiled and watched Fan Xiaojun walk out of the basement, so he said to Shen Manli: "Sit down cross-legged, let's start ...... immediately"

……

Last night, after Zhou Xiuyun and Lin Tao were separated at the airport, they took a taxi to the city, opened a room in a five-star hotel in the city, and after a night's rest, they rented a car from a car rental company early this morning and drove towards the county seat of her hometown.

The county seat of her hometown is about 150 kilometers away from Xi'an, and it takes about an hour and a half to drive, and before noon, she returned to her hometown county seat, Wuling County.

Zhou Xiuyun's parents died in a car accident when Zhou Xiuyun was in high school, and then Zhou Xiuyun relied on various part-time jobs, and finally survived until he graduated from college and entered a good foreign company, and was assigned by the company to go to the head office of M country, after working and living in the United States for a few years, because of a coincidence to know some ulterior secrets of a senior executive of the company, he was kidnapped by a senior executive.

Thinking of the dead Howard, Zhou Xiuyun was inevitably a little sad, although she had no love for Howard, only gratitude, but after five years of getting along, it must be false to say that she was not sad.

The car stopped at the door of the old little bungalow that her parents had left for her, and although it was not good, it carried all the memories of her and her parents, and she was reluctant to sell it even in her most difficult times.

After she parked the car, she got out of the car and was walking towards the door of the small bungalow when she suddenly heard the sound of an engine humming, so she looked sideways and saw a bulldozer coming towards her.

Seeing that the bulldozer stopped at the door of her house, she frowned slightly, walked a few steps quickly, walked to the bulldozer, and asked a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting in the bulldozer, "What are you doing here?" ”

When the middle-aged man saw the beautiful woman stepping forward to ask, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and he pouted: "Can't the beauty see it?" This house is going to be demolished! ”

Zhou Xiuyun's face suddenly became gloomy, and she asked, "Who are you, why did you demolish my house!" ”

"Your house?" The middle-aged man driving the bulldozer was slightly stunned, and then squinted his eyes and said playfully: "Even if it is your house, this old house is within the scope of demolition of the municipal plan, and our boss has bought the development right here, so now this is no longer your house." ”

Zhou Xiuyun listened to the other party's words, and immediately laughed angrily, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "When did my house become your boss's?" Ask him, did he buy this house? ”

"Then I don't care, the demolition of this house is an order from our boss himself, I just want to demolish the house, and I don't care about anything else!"

Zhou Xiuyun's pretty face was cold, her eyes burst with murderous intent, and she said in a low tone: "If you dare to demolish my house, I will dare to demolish your arms and legs!" ”

"Yo, little girl, the tone is not small, I demolished your house today, see how you dismantle my arms and legs!"

The middle-aged man who drove the bulldozer sneered, then drove the bulldozer and rushed towards Zhou Xiuyun's dilapidated bungalow......
