"Ning Ning, are we really going to do this?"

Somewhere at the foot of Xuantian Peak, Fang Lingxiu asked with a slight frown.

Li Lingxiao in front turned his head and tilted his head curiously to look at his brother and sister who were playing with him.

"Xiuxiu, it's okay, trust me!"

Ye Ningyuan clenched his little fist and shook it vigorously in front of his chest.

As they spoke, they came to the edge of the mountain protection formation, but Ji Yuan, who had long been hidden in the dark, temporarily opened a gap.

Otherwise, there is a formation shrouded, and it is impossible to get out with only three children.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I'm a little glad I started early."

Not far away, Zhao Yuebai, who had cast a trick and turned on the soundproofing ban, suddenly muttered to himself.

Apparently he already knew what was going to happen to the next three children.

"You and I become masters and apprentices, and we are also destined in the dark."

Ji Yuan turned his head to look at him, his face full of rich smiles.

However, in his eyes, there was also a look of emotion, if it weren't for various encounters, he was only in the late stage of the realm at that time, and he was actually not qualified to really accept apprentices.

"Ready to begin."

Suddenly, Ji Yuan's expression moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a little arc.

Under the gaze of the two, Ye Ningyuan, Fang Lingxiu, and Li Lingxiao, who was only six years old, finally stepped out of the enveloping range of the Xuantian Peak Mountain Protection Array.

Just one step out, the three children did not feel that the small piece of world they were in had undergone a small change.

Formation patterns immediately appeared under their feet, and then the three of them stayed in place, a pair of eyes quietly closed, and in an instant, they fell into an illusion.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuebai walked out of the dark, removed the obstacles on their bodies, and came to the front of the three of them.

The former waved his hand slightly, and three more jade plates appeared in front of him, and as the mana was infused into them, three pictures suddenly appeared on them.

In the first picture, Ye Ningyuan took the two of them out of Xuantian Peak, but it was not the Nine Xuanmen Gate outside, but a barren mountain range.

As they stepped out, the roar of a beast suddenly came from the mountain forest in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly turned around and wanted to return to Xuantian Peak.

Just turn your head, you can still see the mountain peaks that have lived there for several years, and only a huge lake is left in front of you.

In panic and fear, Ye Ningyuan could only be cautious, leading the two of them to walk forward among the mountains and forests, using the knowledge he had learned on weekdays to avoid ferocious beasts along the way.

"Brother...... I'm hungry ......."

The little Li Lingxiao, in less than half a day, shouted with tears in his eyes.

In desperation, Ye Ningyuan could only let the two of them hide in a tree hole and go out to find food by themselves.

He shuttled through the mountains and forests, hiding from ferocious beasts, and finally found an edible wild fruit.

It's just that when he returned to the tree hole full of joy, he didn't see the two of them, but found a large amount of blood in it, as well as a dozen pieces of clothing.

Ye Ningyuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't hold back crying anymore.

An inaudible cry rang out in the hollow of the tree, and he knelt on the ground, clutching all the pieces of his clothes, surrounded by wild fruits scattered all over the ground.

"Master...... Wouldn't it be a little too ruthless?"

Zhao Yuebai sighed, looking a little unbearable.

These things are a great blow to adults, let alone just an eleven-year-old child?

However, Ji Yuan shook his head, he had seen the environment that Ye Ningyuan had experienced when he first asked his heart, and he had also paid attention to this child for three or four years, and knew that he would definitely have no problem.

"Let's look down."

He said slowly.

After about half a pillar of incense, Ye Ningyuan suddenly stopped crying, and then took all the pieces of clothing into his arms.

He picked up the wild fruits around him, put most of them away, and ate the rest one bite at a time.

"They're going to be fine......

While eating, he muttered to himself inarticulately.

Then Ye Ningyuan left the tree hole, followed the traces on the ground, and finally found a beast's den when it was about to get dark.

He retreated silently, found a few stones, smashed them into sharp pieces of stone, and tied one of them to the top of the stick with a thin strip of bark.

Taking advantage of the night, he covered his whole body with dirt, quietly touched the flicker, and walked into it silently.

Soon there was a low roar, and a series of childish shouts.

After a long time, he walked out of the flash with a blank expression, and slowly knelt on the ground, tears silently falling from his eyes.

The picture slowly dissipated, Ji Yuan put away this jade plate, and then pointed it out lightly, and a streamer did not enter Ye Ningyuan's eyebrows.

The boy gradually woke up from the illusion, his eyes dazed, and then the memory rewashed in his mind, and he immediately held his head and almost cried out in pain.

"It's all right, it's all right, they're not in danger."

Ji Yuan had already walked over, hugged the boy whose tears had fallen into his arms, and then comforted softly.

At the same time, he casts a secret method to calm the other party's emotions with divine thoughts, so that it will not collapse because of this.

When Ye Ningyuan heard the sound, he subconsciously looked to the side, and then saw Fang Lingxiu and Li Lingxiao standing beside him with their eyes closed.

"Spectator...... We are...... What's wrong......

He asked, blankly.

Ji Yuan didn't answer, just patted him lightly on the shoulder, comforting his emotions while looking at the other two jade plates.

Fang Lingxiu and Li Lingxiao's illusion is not as extreme and cruel as Ye Ningyuan.

The former returned to his home, accompanied by his parents, read and practiced calligraphy, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female popularity, and also met women of the same age from the Shijiao family.

She grew up day by day, and soon it was time to talk about marriage, and every once in a while, a matchmaker came to the door, and often listened to her mother teach herself, and when she got married in the future, she should remember to teach her husband and children, and take care of things in the family.

Finally, she put on red clothes, put on a red hijab, and sat in a sedan chair amid the beating of gongs and drums.

After coming to her husband's house, she sat on the bed in the marriage room from morning to night, without a drop of water or rice, only a few pastries quietly stuffed by her mother before leaving.

But she was reluctant to eat it, always feeling that it was a thought, and she didn't know how long it would take before she could go home to see her mother.

It wasn't until the bright moon that the lively mansion gradually quieted down, and there was a slight messy footsteps outside the door.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, and then his lips moved slightly.

"Do you remember the days when you practiced?"

His voice entered the illusion and sounded in Fang Lingxiu's ears.

In a few breaths, she remembered the days of practicing on Xuantian Peak, and remembered the scene of learning alchemy in the Dan room.

"Do you want to spend your life like this, or do you want to embark on the path of cultivation, ask for immortality, and pursue the path of heaven and earth?"

Ji Yuan's voice sounded again, as if he was whispering in his ear.

"I...... I want to ......."

Fang Lingxiu muttered to herself, the picture in her mind became clearer and clearer, and finally froze on her little faces.

There are not only the senior brothers and sisters in the Danfang, but also the Xia Dong sisters who take care of their daily life, and the senior brothers and sisters who practice together around them.

The last two smiling faces, one big and one small, seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

"I want to practice!"

She lifted the red hijab and threw it on the bed.

Her eyes shone with determination, and although she didn't know why she wanted to practice, it didn't prevent her from making a lifelong choice.

And at this moment, the scene in front of me began to blur,

Then it dissipated little by little.

When she regained consciousness, she found that she had returned to the foot of Xuantian Peak.

And the moment Fang Lingxiu opened his eyes, a special fluctuation suddenly came out of his body.

「……」

Seeing this scene, the corners of Ji Yuan's mouth immediately twitched, who would have thought that after experiencing a small illusion, she would actually condense a firm Dao heart!

And it is not a prototype, but a very complete Dao heart!

"I'm ...... You've found a treasure, right?"

He subconsciously muttered to himself, and there were already thousands of emotions in his heart.
