In the deep valley, on the bank of the stream, the small courtyard, the medicine field, the wooden house, the wisps of cooking smoke, and occasionally a few birdsongs, everything exudes a calm and peaceful.

Outside the wooden house, in the small courtyard, Shen Aotian and Li Ling sat opposite the table, and there was a purple sand teapot and two teacups on the table.

Suddenly, Shen Aotian poured a cup of tea for Li Ling, and opened his mouth lightly, his voice full of melancholy.

"This tea is born naturally in the valley, and it is brewed by Lan'er with early morning dew, what do you think of the taste?"

Li Ling gently picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then closed his eyes, and then slowly savored the essence of it.

"This tea is sweet and mellow, fragrant, concentrating and nourishing qi, relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, it is indeed not an ordinary product, but it is a pity that it ......"

"What a pity?" Shen Aotian's face moved slightly, slightly puzzled.

Li Ling pondered for a moment, and finally said his reason. "It's a pity that although this tea is delicious, for Li Ling, it is not as pleasant as a cup of aged wine......"

After listening to Li Ling's words, Shen Aotian's face first changed, showing dissatisfaction, but after a while, there was a little more confusion in his eyes, and finally, there was a bit of relief and admiration in his eyes.

Then, Shen Aotian said in a deep voice: "Boy, do you know who I am?" ”

"That day, I heard that demon girl say in the valley that the predecessor was the master of the Sword Sect and the six saints of the Heavenly List." Li Ling said.

"Oh! Then do you know what the Six Saints of the Heavenly List mean? ”

"The dragon and phoenix among the people, the master of Kyushu!" Li Ling simply said his thoughts.

"Since you know, then I invite you to tea, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?"

"Li Ling is not presumptuous, my predecessors invited me to drink tea, I drank tea, my seniors asked me what it tasted like, I answered honestly, I have always told the truth."

"Then what do you mean when you say that wine is better than tea?"

"Don't hide it from my predecessors, I love the things in the cup, I don't have wine on weekdays, although this tea tastes good, but in the heart of an alcoholic, how can it be compared to fine wine?"

After hearing this, Shen Aotian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Good! Good! Good! What a drunken drunk! I really didn't expect that the Heavenly Machine Dao, which is usually strict and backwater-like, would actually produce such an alternative disciple as you, I really don't know how Yan Feifei would feel after knowing it? But...... You're honest, and your appetite for me is not bad! ”

Li Ling was taken aback at first, and then said with a wry smile: "The senior has won the award, I am just a registered disciple of the Heavenly Machine Dao, and I am not a real Heavenly Machine disciple." Dissatisfied with my predecessors, I entered the Heavenly Machine, just to have a place to live and have a full meal. ”

When Shen Aotian heard this, he said lightly: "Well, it's enough to confess." Isn't it just to have enough food and clothing and a place to live? Yan Feifei was a little hit at the beginning, then he was depressed, and he became a monk, although the Heavenly Machine Dao is now gaining momentum, but in my opinion, Yan Feifei is just a coward who has no responsibility, if a person doesn't even dare to admit what he thinks in his heart, then what's the point of living? ”

Li Ling was confused when he heard this, but he felt that although Shen Aotian was one of the six saints, he didn't have the slightest arrogance, and his speech was straightforward, which made people admire.

"Senior ......"

"Well, okay, okay, what am I telling you all this, hey...... By the way, do anyone else know about your entry into the valley this time? ”

"No, the girl in black and I also came to this valley by accident, and we were chased and killed by Yan Ji at that time......" Then, Li Ling slowly told the cause and effect of being chased and killed last night.

After hearing this, Shen Aotian's face sank, and he said angrily: "What a Yanji, it's really ...... to do such a hurtful thing But that Yan Feifei is too, this time the incident happened at the foot of his Cloud Mountain, didn't he come forward? ”

Li Ling said: "I have heard the disciples in the sect talk about it, saying that the real people in charge of the sect have been in retreat for a long time, and they have long stopped asking about the world. However, several Dao Venerables in the sect have already descended the mountain, but we are just one step ahead! ”

"Hmph......" Shen Aotian snorted coldly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then continued: "By the way, boy, I see that there seems to be a strong true power faintly flowing in your body, but why don't you have the slightest magical power?" Haven't you learned any kung fu in the Heavenly Machine Dao? ”

"Don't hide it from my predecessors, I'm just a registered disciple in charge of copying books in Tianji Dao, and I haven't learned any supernatural powers in the door." Li Ling smiled bitterly.

"Impossible! I see that your breathing is even, your breath is calm, and the muscles and veins around your body are beating rhythmically, which is obviously a sign of practicing the extremely advanced supernatural mind method, why...... Okay, you reach for it. ”

Then, Li Ling stretched out his hand, Shen Aotian stretched out the middle finger of his right index finger, and gently pressed it on Li Ling's wrist, and then, a real force from Shen Aotian's finger slowly entered Li Ling's body.

But at the moment when the true power entered the body, a blood-red true power in Li Ling's body suddenly exploded, and the real power on his wrist surged, and a great rebound force was born all of a sudden. Seeing this, Shen Aotian's face changed sharply, and his right hand was also shaken open by the extremely domineering true power in Li Ling's body.

Afterwards, Shen Aotian said with a look of surprise on his face: "Boy, what exercises have you practiced?" Why is there such a domineering power, and this power is extraordinary, faintly with a sense of anger and demonism. Moreover, this power is slowly being unearthed and circulating along the blood veins around you, but the strangest thing is that the Zhou Tian Cycle method of the true power circulating in your body seems to be the most authentic mental method in the inner door of Taoism, what is going on? ”

Hearing this, the figure of the old beggar he met in Nanping appeared in Li Ling's mind again, and Li Ling said in his heart: "At the beginning, the old gentleman once said that there is an extremely strange and terrifying power lurking in my body, and this power is echoing the blood pattern ring on my right hand, if it is not used properly, it is possible to fall into the devil's way, is this true?" ”

At this time, when Li Ling thought of fighting against Yan Ji, the black ring on his right hand suddenly gave birth to a strange force, which could devour the essence and blood of others, which was extremely weird. Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Seeing Li Ling's unruly appearance, Shen Aotian opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I ...... I...... I'm fine! It's just that I thought about something and was a little worried. To be honest, I don't know where this power in me comes from...... I ......"

"Well, you don't have to be so nervous, in my opinion, everything in the world has its own reason for existence, let everything be as it is. Although the power in your body is domineering, fortunately, you have practiced an extremely profound Dao Sect at the same time, and you have actually gathered and controlled the power in your body that is about to move, so as not to make this power explode. ”

"Close?" Li Ling wondered.

"That's right! Now the power in your body is like a surging river, and as this power continues to grow, if you can't control it reasonably, when your mood fluctuates or is stimulated, this power will suddenly explode, and the light ones will be injured and lose their minds, and the heavy ones will be broken and explode and die. Coincidentally, you have practiced an extremely profound Dao Gate Exercise, which is like a river embankment, which tightly controls and gathers the violent power in your body in the meridians in your body, and consolidates it, so that although this power is strong, it circulates endlessly in the meridians around you according to the control of the exercises in your body, and finally assimilates with your body and is used for you. When the time comes, you will be able to achieve supreme supernatural powers, so this may not be a good thing for you. ”

After listening to Shen Aotian's words, Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, originally he didn't know anything about the power in his body, he only knew that this power was born from practicing the mental method taught to him by Mr. Dugu, but he didn't know anything else. But now, because of Shen Aotian's words, he is finally no stranger to the power in his body, since it can be controlled, it is always good, not to mention, he doesn't believe that Mr. Dugu will harm him, when he was a child, he was greatly favored by Mr. Dugu, for more than ten years, if it weren't for Mr. Dugu's inseparable protection, he would have died a long time ago, so at this time, he heard that the power in his body could be dissolved, and his heart was relieved.

Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Ling's eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Hearing what my predecessors said, I remembered that recently, I did practice a practice, oh, no, no, I don't know if this counts as an exercise, it's just some esoteric formula." After that, he told Shen Aotian about the mantra passed to him by the gray-clothed Daoist on the mountain behind the Heavenly Machine Dao, and read a few mantras to Shen Aotian.

After listening, Shen Aotian looked puzzled, and said in his heart: "This ...... This mantra comes from the Heavenly Machine Dao, which is very profound and mysterious, and it is clearly Yan's extraordinary Wuji Xuanyi Divine Skill! Could it be that Yan Feifei taught the mantra to this kid? Impossible! Although Yan Feifei is extremely talented, his thinking is very stubborn, and his concept of portal is also extremely heavy, and it is impossible for him to pass on his divine mantra to a registered disciple. But in the Heavenly Machine, there are not many people who can understand this infinite secret formula, could it be that the drunkard can't do it? ”

After that, Shen Aotian asked, "Boy, is the person who passed you this mantra that day a drunkard?" ”

When Li Ling heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and then he smiled helplessly and said, "Well, that Dao Master really likes to drink!" ”

When Shen Aotian heard this, he suddenly realized: "Like to drink? Hmph, he's an out-and-out drunkard, then it's no wonder, that person behaves strangely and is addicted to alcohol, as long as it smells the same, don't say it's to pass on your formula, if he is the head of the Heavenly Machine, even if he is in charge, he will pass on you. ”

When Li Ling heard this, he could only smile awkwardly, but he didn't say anything.

Shen Aotian continued: "Boy, count yourself lucky, the supernatural power you have cultivated is none other than Yan Feifei...... Oh no, it's the unique magic skill of your Heavenly Machine Dao Sect True Person, called Wuji Xuanyi Divine Skill. Back then, he relied on this unfathomable supernatural power of ghosts and gods to rank among the six saints of the heavenly list. Now, this exercise you practice is the most authentic Xuangong mental method of the Daomen, and as long as you stick to it, you will be able to slowly assimilate the mysterious power in your body and use it for your own use. ”

When Li Ling heard this, he nodded and thanked: "Thank you seniors for your advice, great kindness, Li Ling is unforgettable." ”

"Okay, okay, I don't like to listen to this nonsense. I said this today, if not, do you think I will care about your life or death? Shen Aotian said coldly.

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled helplessly, and said no more.
