★ Not somewhere in the world

What was once a dilapidated wooden house has been transformed into a modern building. The man in black has already strengthened his power and opened up a new "empire" of his own.

On a chair in the council chamber, the man played with a golden translucent bead in his hand.

On the table was a metal box, which contained more than a dozen beads similar to the beads in his hand, of various sizes.

After taking so many beads, his cultivation has now increased to nearly three thousand years. Can directly compete with a foreign king's prime minister.

But he was a careful and planned man, and he would not act without all preparation.

He was actually a human being, some flesh and blood. Although his cultivation was very high, devouring beads and cultivating could also prolong his life, but he still couldn't achieve immortality.

Therefore, he hated himself like this, and he wanted to cultivate harder and devour more beads. Like some special gods and demons, you have the incorruptible body of King Kong and get eternal life!

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat so many Neidan, why does the mana grow so slowly, how long do you have to take it!"

Thinking of this, he sent the bead in his hand to his eyes like crazy. The purple-black lips opened slightly, absorbing all the golden brilliance in the bead, turning it into a hollow bead like transparent glass.

The man exerted force in his palm and smashed the hollow beads. His brow furrowed, and he was furious. With one hand, he overturned the table in front of him.

The two guards beside him trembled with fright from the black-robed man's actions.

The beads in the metal box were tumbled and tumbled to various corners of the chamber.

"The hosts. "A short, stout man in a gray robe knelt on the ground in front of an angry black-robed man.

The gray-robed man has no eyelids, and his eyes are pure jet black, with no distinction between whites and pupils. The grayish-white, bloated head with no neck visible from below, and a tumor growing like a tumor on the stubby torso. The bare top of his head was covered with wrinkles, but there was not a single hair.

The gray-robed man caught a glimpse of beads scattered across the ground and overturned tables and chairs. He picked up a pinball-sized blue bead at his feet and sent it to his chapped lips to suck it.

After absorbing the essence of the pearl, his face seemed to be less ugly than just now. The folds of the face seem to be less, and the face no longer seems to be so terrifying.

"You're getting more and more daring, and you're stealing my beads. Am I being too lenient with you?" said the man in black angrily as he saw the gray-robed man below sucking the beads on the ground.

"Master, how can your subordinates call this stealing food? It's clearly a righteous and bright enjoyment, the master doesn't want them, isn't throwing them on the ground a reward for his subordinates?"

The man in black was even more angry when he heard the gray-robed words: "Good! Since you like it, I will reward it to you." You can get out!

Unexpectedly, the gray-robed robe stood up with a flattering smile and walked towards the man in black.

He walked up to the man in black and whispered in his ear, "Master, don't be angry." My subordinates have sent someone to collect good things for you. ”

"If you don't get me the civet Neidan and the spirit, what other good things can you have?"

"Master, I heard from the insiders that the civet cat doesn't seem to have produced Neidan yet. Now that we have caught her, there is no cultivation, even if we just take this spirit without spiritual power, it will be of no use to you, right? The gray-robed grinning face made people think that his face was even more terrifying.

"Wait, if she waits for her to give birth to Neidan, how many years will it take! How can I have the patience to wait!! If there is no Neidan, you will have to continue to catch other alien races for me! What kind of crooked thoughts do you want to move? Impossible!"

"Master, this is nature, but today, the subordinates have really brought you good things. The grey-robed commanded his men to go and fetch what he had brought.

A waiter came in with an oval-shaped cloth bag in his arms.

"Look, master, this is my gift to you today. Be careful, don't break the baby!"

The man in black took the package and opened it to see that it was an egg-shaped object the size of a pillow. It has a hard calcareous shell on the outside.

The black clothes were afraid that they would damage it, so they handed the egg-shaped object to the waiter beside him to hold it. Then he took off all the fabric that had been wrapped around the surface of the egg-like object.

Then I saw that the egg-shaped object was translucent and slightly glowing. If you look closely, there seems to be a flesh-colored object with an indiscernible appearance, like a pair of wings and a long tail......

"What the hell is this?"

"Master, this is not a ghostly thing! This is a treasure that is rare in a thousand years! If the master takes the things in the shell, his spiritual power will definitely increase greatly!"

......

★Earthly.

Although City C, as a city further north than City A, has a temperature a few degrees lower than City A, it is not as cold as it is now.

Most of the people in our school have started to put on cotton clothes.

After listening to the weather forecast on the mobile phone radio, the weather in the northern cities broadcast in the report is low, especially in city C, which looks like the temperature of winter in previous years.

The windows of our dormitories and classrooms are now covered with frost.

In the first few days, I thought the weather had changed too much. Everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would be normal again in a few days. But unexpectedly, more than a week has passed, and the weather still shows no signs of improvement.

And it's the beginning of October, and it's not yet time to heat. In the past few days, I can't wait to run back to the house even when I go out to the toilet in the dormitory, and even reading and writing on the desk below will freeze my hands and feet.

Sister Xuanzi told me on the phone that she couldn't come to teach me cultivation during this time. Her cultivation is not so strong, she can't avoid her characteristics as a snake, looking at the current weather conditions, she can't stand the current temperature, and she needs to enter a state of hibernation early.

I only reacted when I heard Jin Xuanzi say this. Yes, Sister Xuanzi is a snake after all, and it's not yet November, and the temperature outside is so low, ordinary snakes should also enter a state of hibernation.

Not only Sister Xuanzi, but even Qingyi also asked me for leave: This winter seems to have come early, in fact, he should have started hibernation a long time ago.

The last time I saw Qingyi, I felt like he was much plumper than before. Qingyi said it was his preparation for hibernation. I know he's supposed to be cheating on Brad and storing a lot of fat.

After all, he only has a short cultivation of four hundred years, and he is not so afraid of the cold like humans. If he didn't hibernate, he wouldn't have survived the weather. I gave him leave, and he went outside to find a cave and start hibernating.

Alas, I really don't know what the weather is all about. It is said that the evil wind that has been pumping for a few days should have returned to normal, but after many days, the weather has become colder and colder. If there are water stains on the road, it is easy to freeze.

If there is nothing going on, we rarely want to go out. Especially when you have to get up early in the morning and go to class in the cold wind, this is ...... It's torture for us.

Listening to the biting cold wind blowing on the window outside the window, I always felt a sense of unease in my heart.

I heard that this little bat needs to hibernate and can't protect me. Youli repeatedly instructed Mengxian to keep me safe at school.

Sister Mengxian is also very responsible, and she tries to be by my side as much as possible. But I will also tell her that it is better to stay with Shen Hua more. If I'm in a hurry, I can summon the Glass to help me.

Of course, although Youli instructed Hu Mengxian, he himself still often came to the school to find me, and he didn't worry about me alone. And he pulled a large handful of fox fur and told me that I could summon him at any time. He also said that when my cultivation increases a little more, he will teach me the skills of summoning. In this way, even when it is inconvenient to use fox fur, he can be summoned with a mantra.

When I was at school, I would often eat, chat, and walk with Jingyue, them, and Mengxian. However, the walk was recently canceled by unanimous vote.

Because it's just too cold. Especially in this windy city, the cold weather and the biting cool breeze blow into the collar and invade the neck, and you will feel cold and shivering all day.

Once when I was chatting with Mengxian alone, she said to me with a serious expression: The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and this change is a little abnormal. She can often feel something special about the cold air. But it is impossible to know where this power comes from.

These days, when I don't have to go to class, I go to Brad to learn skills from him.

Brad is a blood clan, of course, he is not afraid of the cold, and for him, the low temperature may be easier to use his own skills.

He said that since my body is still afraid of cold, it means that his blood only changes the repair function of my body, but it does not change my body constitution as a whole. Due to the cold weather, our teaching environment was also changed from the backyard of the outdoor dining hall to the indoors.

On this day, in the afternoon, there are no classes. I was training at Brad's when I got a call from Xi Ze. He asked me to go to him, saying that Ziying had gone to him and wanted to come and tell me something important.

I directly summoned Yuli and asked him to use a spell to take me and Brad to Xi Ze in City A.

came to Xi Ze's clubhouse. I saw Ziying sitting on the sofa in the room, her expression a little serious.

"Xiaoye, Ziying said that she may know the culprit who caused your car accident. Xi Ze said to me with the same serious expression.

Listening to Xi Ze's words, I suddenly felt a little nervous in my heart: Could it be that the truth about my car accident that has been hidden for so long is going to be known today. Who could be the murderer?

"Ziying, is this true?" I walked over, grabbed Ziying's wrist and shook it.
