The sun is about to rise when it is the most beautiful, the world seems to be still sleeping, but it is already a little bright, blowing a cool wind, exhaling, and some white mist. Ai is used to getting up at this point, and every time he looks out the window at this time. It's just that this time before he could go out, he was stopped by Aunt Bai Hua.

She had already gotten up early to make breakfast, the porridge made from a wisp of incense, the most famous flower and plant in the White Tower. This kind of flowers and plants are widely used, every household has planted, on the one hand, it is beautiful, a little fragrant is not annoying, more is made into dishes that taste great, and it also has a certain medicinal value, and has a certain pain-relieving effect for some internal and external injuries. When Ai cultivates on weekdays, he is not so meticulous, he usually grabs a handful, and eats one when he is tired, and only in Aunt Bai Hua does he have these hearts. This flower is most gentle to pick in the early hours of the morning when it is in full bloom, and it takes an extra hour or two to boil. Thinking about it, Aunt Bai Hua shouldn't have slept much yesterday, so she got up to make these preparations, in order to give him, a child who is desperately practicing and forgetful, a little bit of support within her ability.

Ai remembers this.

In his memory, he has lived in the place of the White Pagoda since he was born, although he also knows that he is not from the White Tower, because he was born with the source qi of this place, no matter how he cultivates his own source qi, he faintly feels a sense of rejection of the strength and weakness, and every time he is about to explore the essence, his source qi is blown away. It took a long time to recover. He didn't know who his parents were or where they came from. But I also know that Aunt Bai Hua has a close relationship with his mother, and twelve years ago, his mother came to this place with the newborn him and handed him over to Bai Hua. It never reappeared. Bai Hua has always regarded him as his own, and the only regret is that Bai Hua himself has no source qi and cannot give Ai more help in this area. Ai never took the initiative to ask about his background, and always felt that he would get the answer he wanted before he left this place. Of course, some gossip or something, I heard some old men selling goods on the edge of the city, these people get up early and are greedy to do business at night, and they still know a lot of things. Although I don't know if it's true or not, it doesn't matter, after all, for him, solving his current predicament is the top priority.

But he still drank the porridge slowly and helped Aunt Bai Hua clean up briefly before leaving. Before leaving, he brought a little fruit. What he has been trying is to drive the source qi. In fact, his source qi is still very abundant, even if there is such rejection, but he can still achieve the point of being on par with Bai Qing, and he can also be among the best in the entire White Tower, which is enough to say that Yin his talent. But only stuck in this most critical link, there is really no solution.

It seems that the water is continuously injected into the container, and there is no trace of leakage, but when it is about to be filled, the container begins to collapse, it is really strange, it has been a few days, he thinks that there is no way to do it like this, and it is useless to waste time, so he still plans to find someone to guide him, and he finally encounters a bottleneck in his hard work. So he walked to the White Tower.

The area of the White Pagoda is a small city with the White Pagoda as the center and slowly surrounding many villages. This White Pagoda is not only a landmark, but also a place where the people of the White Pagoda live. There are seven floors in total, and each floor is divided differently. Ai's previous team was on the top floor, where all the teenagers in this place studied, and there was a library on top of it. Ai went directly to the library pavilion, because not only were there many books in it, but many big people and wise men also studied it, which was the best place to solve puzzles.

But if he wanted to go in, he didn't just want to go in, so Ai came to the door and handed 3 silver coins to the discipline at the door. This is the rule here, and one of the uses of the silver coins they get from their missions is to dip in this place, and they often stay for a day.

This library pavilion is not ordinarily large, although it is an attic above the top floor, it is not small at all, even if the students of the entire White Pagoda are here, it is more than enough. On weekdays, Ai comes here mostly to find some books with source energy.

The library is divided into 7 areas, and there are records in each field. Whether it is these teenagers who focus on cultivation, or the children of these medical families, or the teenagers who are simply interested in history, these books are their starting point. Ai didn't go straight to the cultivation area this time, but came to the northernmost part of the Library Pavilion—a resting place, where they usually rested when they were tired, had a light meal, and took a short lunch break.

Ai is looking for an old man here. He spent most of his life in the library cabinet, nearly 70 years old, still studying, his goal, is to read as many books as possible. It's just that it's not easy to say, even if he has spent most of his life, he has only read less than half of the books. But despite this, he is still full of confidence, the first to come and the last to leave every day, and he is an old man who is respected by everyone. It can also be said that it is the White Tower, the most knowledgeable person.

Ai saw him, he was eating there with a book in his hand, his mouth was eating, but his eyes were always on the book. The meal is very slow, and it takes an hour for an ordinary person to finish it in ten minutes. When it was cold at the end, he drove his own source qi and reheated the meal again. Ai walked directly to him, but instead of calling him immediately, he meditated beside him at a short distance. Waiting.

"I see!" I saw that the old man suddenly stood up, paced back and forth with his book, and stroked his long beard with his hands, as if he had suddenly had an epiphany, and was anxious to go out.

"Sir!" Ai suddenly shouted when he saw that he was about to leave, because the quiet link around him was suddenly broken by him, and he was a little embarrassed in the next second, knowing that he was abrupt.

When the old man looked back at him, he was not annoyed, he came to sit down beside him, and closed the book, "Brother Ai, is there anything you want to ask today?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir, I really want to ask you about my source qi today," Ai told him about his situation, and the old man was also a little interested in his eyes after hearing it, "That's it, Brother Ai, it's not suitable for us to discuss here, you can go directly to my house in a while, I just have a new discovery now, I want to report it to the pavilion master first, if it goes well, maybe I can answer your question."

Ai was also overjoyed, it seemed that there might be a solution to his problem, so he said goodbye to his husband and went to the door of the old man's house to wait.

The old man's name is Bai Zhi, and he is the administrator of this library pavilion, not for anything else, but because he can read books as he wants. However, his residence was under the White Tower, and what was striking was that there was a tree stump at his door, and Ai sat on this stump while refining his source qi.

I don't know how long later, the old man came back and hurriedly beckoned Ai into the house. The familiar layout hasn't changed at all, Ai still remembers the scene of the first visit, there were books and paper full of unintelligible text symbols everywhere, the room was very simple, except for a bed, a table and countless cabinets, and there was no place to cook and go to the toilet, because it was at the bottom of the tower, so he usually solved these problems in the public area of the tower - after all, these things took up a lot of space, and there were some books to put in.

The old man pulled out a worn-out chair from behind a pile of books, and when it was set, Ai sat down. He also turned out a stack of papers himself, then sorted it out and sat down beside Ai.

"Look," he said, placing one of the pages on his lap and pointing to one of the paragraphs. Ai glanced at it, he really couldn't understand it, there were words and symbols. "This is the content of my latest research, and it may have something to do with the problems you encountered," the old man also knew that he didn't understand, so he directly began to tell him.

"Why can't I control my source qi, and I seem to have an inexplicable rejection?"

"This is because your source qi is not in line with the environment here, or even contradictory, which is why it is so difficult."

Ai also nodded when he heard this, he probably knew this, but he didn't know the deep-seated reason.

"If you've been cultivating for so long, you should know that there are many attributes of source qi, and different races and different environments have great differences in the brewing of their own source qi. The capital of weapons' is also for this reason, the people here are brewed by the source qi, through the tempering of the fire attribute, as well as the weapons forged by the unique materials of the local area, they are among the best in the entire subcontinent, and now many races and cities, the weapons used are also from here, and your source qi should be different from this, so whenever it is refined, it will be blown away for this reason. ”

Ai is a little lost, is it possible, in this place, can he not make any more progress?

The old man saw his thoughts, "I know you, and I know what you're thinking, you take this first." ”

He handed Ai an envelope, which was sealed with a source technique, and also painted with strange patterns, like a flower, at least Ai had never seen it. Then it was put away.

"Actually, it's not impossible, do you know why I've been working on this lately? I know a crazy man, although I have known him for a short time, but he is very powerful, although he is crazy, but he has given me a lot of epiphanies. The fact that you give him this envelope is also an opportunity for you, and it is up to you whether you can get anything from him."

Lunatic? Ai also felt funny when he heard it, and found it interesting, and inquired and learned that this person was met by Bai Zhi when he was collecting medicine on the back mountain, it can really be said that he didn't know each other, although the other party behaved crazy, but his strength should not be underestimated, in the "White Tower", Bai Zhi can be regarded as a master of the source arts, he is already very talented, and he has read all the ancient books, coupled with decades of cultivation, in the entire Baita District, it can be said that in addition to the pavilion master, there is probably only the Great Elder of the White Tower. From this point of view, Ai became more interested in this person. After thanking the old man, he went back to eat some food, and went to the back mountain in a hurry.

It's just that he didn't know that this time, it was very different from the past.

In fact, there are very few people coming to the back mountain, one is that there are many forbidden areas here, and there are many rare medicinal materials and rare source beasts in them. I heard the old people in the town say that it was imported from somewhere before, but there was no one here, and if you need medicinal herbs, it is far away and inconvenient to go to Central City to buy them. The Lord of the White Pagoda Pavilion attached great importance to it, and directly divided most of the back mountain with the most abundant source qi of the White Pagoda for the cultivation of these medicinal materials, as well as some source beasts to inhabit. Most of the people who came here were the elders and apprentices of the White Tower. Ai came to the back mountain, followed Bai Zhi's instructions, and looked for the sign all the way. Only by following the signs can you find the man.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be anyone living here in this back mountain, not to mention the pavilion master, the great elder can also detect the existence of someone, I really don't know who this is, but it makes me more and more curious" While thinking, he followed the sign and came to a cave, the vine plants around the cave are spreading, if you don't care, you can't actually notice that this is a hole. Although Ai was at the door, he had vaguely felt that there was some strange source qi in it, fluctuating. If he could feel it vaguely, it stands to reason that the elders should be able to feel it from a distance...

Ai stayed at the door for a while, but slowly walked inside. The entrance of the cave is getting narrower and narrower, and the inside is getting darker and darker, and it is no longer clear to see, Ai prepared a fire source, lowered his body, and finally slowly crawled in, but the more he went inside, there was a little light, just about to get closer, only to hear an explosion, and suddenly fell a lot of stones in front of him, so startled that Ai didn't pay attention to shouting, only to hear a deafening sound from inside, "Who!" ”

Ai slowly pushed away the stones blocking the way, and walked inside, only to see that there were four walls in vain, and there was no decoration, but there were a few fire sources hanging on the surrounding walls, which looked bright, and there was a cover in the corner, there were no tables and chairs, and there were many books scattered in a package, and an old man was there holding a book and looking at him, seeing him, the man put down the book and walked straight towards Ai.
