Time flies, and a few days pass like a blink of an eye. In the past few days, Hu Lai has a further understanding of this world, although it is not easy to understand what Liu Cheng's mouth says, but he also understands the general situation. And in the past few days, Liu Cheng has been completely speechless to Hu Lai, like a blank piece of paper, even the most basic things have to be explained by himself, and he has never been very good at explaining in these days.

Hearing the sound of "bang" footsteps outside the house, Hu Lai closed the book in his hand, after a few days of cultivation, Hu Lai has recovered, and he insists on exercising, striving to get rid of his physical thinness as soon as possible.

"Hulai, what do you think I've brought you?" Before the person arrived, Liu Cheng pushed open the door and shook the fist-sized white bead in his hand.

"What is this?" Hu Lai looked puzzled.

Listening to Hu Lai's words, Liu Cheng felt stupid, and covered his face with one hand to show that I was very defeated, "I forgot, you have a brain like a blank sheet of paper, and you don't know if you ask three questions." He handed over the bead in his hand, "This is the Qiling Bead, you have to have this thing if you want to Qiling." ”

This time Hu Lai was excited, but the beads handed over shook left and right, but did not find any difference, except for the beautiful color and snow-white body, no different from the glass beads in the previous life, and once again wondered, "This is really a spirit bead, nothing strange." ”

"Don't underestimate this bead, one is tens of thousands of spirit coins, and my brother has paid a lot of money for you. Liu Cheng said with a painful face. Spirit coins are the money of this world, ten spirit coins are equivalent to a month's expenses of an ordinary family of three, and below are star coins, one spirit coin is equivalent to a hundred star coins.

"I won't say thank you, I'll find a way to return it to you later. Hu Lai is not pretentious, he accepts it directly, since he came to the Liu family, Liu Cheng has always helped himself, he has kept these good things in his heart, Hu Lai has never been an ungrateful person.

Liu Cheng glanced at him: "If you don't pay it back, it's just a month's pocket money for me." Okay, stop looking, let's get started. Drop a drop of blood on it and put it on your eyebrows. ”

Hearing this, Hu Lai bit his finger and dripped blood on the Qiling Bead, and the blood droplet slowly soaked into the Qiling Bead and disappeared, and the Qiling Bead emitted a faint white light. According to what Liu Cheng said, he put the Qiling Bead at the center of his eyebrows, only to see that a small hole was broken on the smooth surface of the Qiling Bead, and a white band of light stretched out and dropped into Hu Lai's eyebrows without any hindrance. Hu Lai only felt that the world was spinning suddenly, as if he was about to faint, but this feeling only lasted for a moment before recovering. After recovering, he seemed to find that he had something more in his mind, and when he was about to experience it carefully, he was interrupted by the spirit bead at the center of his eyebrows. I saw that the Qiling Bead bloomed with dazzling light, and it was still strengthening, as if it was about to reach the apex, a crack appeared on the Qiling Bead, and the light became stronger again Just when the Qiling Bead was about to break, the dazzling light dimmed a little as if it had been poured cold water, and then the Qiling Bead showed a "seven" character, and then, all the light disappeared, but the "seven" character on the Qiling Bead was particularly conspicuous.

Hu looked at the word "seven" on the Qiling bead, and wondered, "Liu Cheng, what does this mean, my Qiling should have succeeded, right?"

found that there was no response, so he looked up, but saw Liu Cheng standing in front of him blankly, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, looking at himself with an incredible expression, and only after half a sound did he react, "I grass, what kind of monster are you, the spirit bead just now is clearly going to be broken, this is a sign that the innate spirit spirit level is ten, if you are so awesome, I will admit it, but then why did it drop to only level seven, I have never heard of such a thing, how did you do it?"

"You don't know, can I know?" Hu Lai was also puzzled.

"Forget it, when I didn't ask. Liu Cheng glanced at Hu Lai with contempt, leaving this question behind, he has always been a person who can't figure it out and is too lazy to think about it, pointing to the "seven" on the Qiling bead, "This is the congenital progression after Qiling, my innate Qiling level is eight, one trace can go up to nine, and yours should have been ten, I don't know why it has dropped to seven, hehe, it may be that God wants to help me surpass you, the higher the level of the innate Qiling, the higher the achievement in the future, although it is not absolute, but most of it is so." Without further ado, let's see what your Spirit is. He seemed to know that Hu Lai would ask, and added, "You close your eyes and summon in your heart, and your spirit will naturally appear in your hands, if it is a beast, there will be some changes in the body, and you can sense it yourself after summoning it." ”

According to what Liu Cheng said, Hu Lai closed his eyes, silently summoned his spirit in his heart, stretched out his palms upward, as if he heard Hu Lai's call, and a brush appeared out of thin air, floating above Hu Lai's hands.

It is a foot long, thumb thickness, the black surface is smooth and bright, perfect to find no flaws, just like the use of black diamonds ingenious workmanship, the tail of the pen barrel for a half-inch long diamond upwards gradually rounded and the pen barrel is perfectly inlaid together, the pen head is two inches long, the widest place has about two fingers, the peculiar thing is that the pen hair is also pitch black, this whole body of the black brush makes people look at it and produce a unique beauty.

Hu Lai looked at the brush in front of him blankly, revealing an obsessive look, "It's so beautiful! Is this my spirit?", gently holding his pen spirit, the texture of the pen is excellent, and then caressing the head, this pitch-black hair made of unknown material is as soft and delicate as the hair of a small animal. As a painter, Hu Lai can be said to be well-informed about brushes, but he has never seen such a perfect brush.

Liu Cheng looked at Hu Lai's expression and immediately poured a basin of cold water over, "What's beautiful, isn't it just a brush with hair?"

Hu Lai hesitated and directly ignored the first half of the sentence, "How can I say it, can't this kind of spirit be used in battle?"

Liu Cheng thought for a while, "No, your pen is a spirit that belongs to the instrumental class, and the general phenomenon is that the more powerful the weapon turned into by the spirit and the higher the combat value of the spirit master, the same is true for the beast spirit, you think if other people's spirit is a sword wolf or something, in the face of the other party's fierce attack, how do you use the pen to fight people, of course, this is not absolute, although some special spirits seem to be inconvenient to fight, but they are not worse than swords or something, or even more powerful." ”

Hu Lai felt that Liu Cheng was also reasonable, but he never thought of giving up the path of breaking the spirit. This is a world of the strong, since you want to choose this path, you will inevitably experience all kinds of hardships and even threats to your life, but he is not afraid of nothing, he can give this life for his dream, if he fails in the end, at least there is no regret. tightened the pen in his hand and muttered to the sky outside the house: "Since it is not strong, I will work ten times and a hundred times harder to make it stronger." ”

Hu Lai was alone in the room, looking at the sky outside the window, the moonlight was like a mother's hand gently caressing the earth, the starry sky was shining and bringing infinite imagination, and the world was peaceful. Thinking about it carefully, this is the first time to seriously look at the night sky of this world, although there is nothing different except for the different stars, but it still gives Hu Lai a strange feeling.

Thinking of what the fat man Liu Cheng said today, Hu Lai silently summoned his own spirit, the pitch-black brush appeared out of thin air, and he didn't study it for a while, probably because he is only in the lowest realm of the first spirit now, after all, the first spirit does not have any ability, it can only be used as an auxiliary attack, and the spiritual power in the body is pitiful, not much stronger than ordinary people. Hu Lai was not angry, and began to sit in this meditation according to the method given to him by Liu Cheng, and entered the state of cultivation.

In the afternoon, Liu Cheng told him that he would go to the school in another month to report, it was a very famous school in the Ten Thousand Souls Continent, which had a large number of talents and an excellent and perfect teaching and cultivation system. And Liu Cheng told Hu Lai that he had asked his father to let Hu Lai go with him, and that he had also obtained his father's consent. Although Hu Lai didn't say anything too thankful, but he kept these good things to him in his heart, since he came to the Liu family, Liu Cheng has helped himself everywhere, Hu Lai is a good brother Liu Cheng in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that if the Liu family encounters difficulties in the future, he will not hesitate even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire.

Burying these things deep in his heart, Hu Lai began his first cultivation, promoting the thin spiritual power in this dantian, and slowly running along the tendons and veins in the body that Liu Cheng taught him, when he ran for a week, he could feel that the spiritual power in his body was a little more, and he slowly gained experience, and he drew a gourd like this again and again.

In the following month, Hu Lai decided to try his best to cultivate his realm to the first-order Spirit Gathering Spirit Master, so he couldn't slack off for a moment. The road to success is often lonely with most of life, and only by enduring what ordinary people can't bear can you become a strong person. And Hu has understood this truth since his previous life, so now he will only work harder for this more difficult goal.

The soft moonlight sprinkled down, and the earth was covered with a hazy veil, and the night was so silent, and in the middle of this silent night, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the bright moon, and the black shadow looked silently at Hu Lai, who was meditating, through the window, and finally turned into a soft sigh, disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The night was still so silent.
