The bright moon shone on the young man's somewhat thin body, and he was looking at the small brocade box at this time.

Han Ling took a deep breath, then opened it gently, and a white light that was not dazzling shot out of it. He picked up the crystalline stone, which was not the size of a fingernail, and slowly pressed it to the center of his brow.

The next moment, the white light enveloped Han Ling, and he seemed to have become another bright moon, echoing with the moonlight sprinkled in the sky.

The Netherworld Qi between heaven and earth surged at this time, forming an incomparably huge whirlpool that converged towards Han Ling's body. Han Ling's eyes were closed, and his body actually floated slightly, rising to the center of the whirlpool.

Han Ling urged the method, causing the incomparably abundant Netherworld Qi to operate according to the lines, and at the center of his eyebrows, the white light also turned into a line at the same time, engraved on the surface of his body, but the appearance of that line seemed to dissipate at any time.

The Dark Pattern Stone was automatically formed into a primary condensation pattern according to the method, and Han Ling quickly got on the right track under this guidance. With the continuous influx of Netherworld Qi, the Netherworld Pattern is becoming clearer and clearer, and if it continues like this, then it is only a matter of time before the Netherworld Pattern is condensed.

But Han Ling knew that this time was not the key, the key was the last moment. And in the past, Han Ling's failure was at the moment when the dark pattern was most connected, and the inexplicable confusion led to the failure of the most rear. Han Ling couldn't find the reason, was it because he wasn't focused enough?

Thinking of this, Han Ling slowed down and completely focused his energy on the Immortal Pattern Condensation, which was about to come to an end.

A trace of sweat seeped out of Han Ling's forehead, and even the Netherworld Qi Vortex couldn't sweep it away.

Connect.

Han Ling cautiously wandered through the netherworld pattern with the netherworld aura, connecting with the first condensed netherworld pattern.

Buzz –

The condensed Netherworld Pattern revealed the surface of the body, and the Netherworld Qi surged violently, condensing the Netherworld Pattern! But at the same time, the Netherworld Qi that was originally surging around was sucked into Han Ling's body in an instant.

This...... Han Ling was shocked, the first condensed Immortal Pattern had such a speed to absorb the Netherworld Qi!?

"The prefecture-level method also wants to cover the dark pattern left by the master!?" A violent sound of anger came from Han Ling's body, and at the same time, the dark pattern that had just condensed was also shattered in an instant.

Han Ling spurted out a mouthful of blood, and a sense of weakness surged up, he couldn't believe all this in front of him, the dark pattern was formed and shattered, could he still be alive? And what about the roar just now, is there something else strange in his body?

"Stinky boy!" The voice was a little ethereal, and it came from his body again, ringing in Han Ling's mind.

"What the hell are you!" Han Ling was a little angry, how could he not hear it, this voice was the root cause that had just shattered his Immortal Pattern. And looking at it like this, it has something to do with the fact that his dark pattern has not been condensed.

"I am the spirit of the Codex!"

"The spirit of the Codex, why is it in my body?"

"It looks like you've almost forgotten about it, but it doesn't matter. I've been in you since you were born, but it's just impossible for these people around you to discover my existence. The voice sounded, and a transparent phantom flew out of the palm of his left hand, slowly transforming into shape.

The phantom was wrapped in a robe, revealing his hands as clear as bones, but he had no feet, like a ghost, and his face was covered with armor, except for his bright yellow eyes.

Han Ling forgot to speak for a while, what is this? He lowered his head and thought about it, could it be that he could not condense the Immortal Pattern but refine one...... This one!?

"My name is Seven Shadows!" said the Phantom, "and besides, you can't hide anything from me. ”

"Then do you want to explain it to me? ”

"It's a bit of a hassle. In short, it's not that you can't condense the dark pattern, but your soul is born with the dark pattern, and it is an extremely powerful dark pattern, but now you are completely unable to trigger the power of this dark pattern. ”

"Sleeping?"

"That's right. ”

"What's the use of that, you? ”

"Don't be dissatisfied, think about how many people knelt down and begged the master to take in apprentices, you are considered lucky, and you picked up a bargain. As for me, I was awakened by you, but I still relied on the Stygian Stone. Otherwise, with the speed at which you absorb Netherworld, it will take me at least five years to wake up. ”

"No, no, let me sort it out. ”

Han Ling began to think about it, the fundamental reason why he couldn't condense the Dark Pattern was because his soul had already been engraved with the Dark Pattern, so he wasn't a waste? Well, this was obviously not the point anymore. And the large amount of Netherworld Qi absorbed tonight woke up this guy who called himself the Spirit of the Codex, and listening to his tone, it seems that it is still a very high-level Codex? But I'm not a contractor, why do I have a Codex in my body, and even if there is, what does this have to do with not being able to trigger the amount of Stygian Force?

"It's very advanced!Your Stygian Pattern was given by the master himself, but in order to protect you, he made several seals, and every time you unraveled one, the power of the Stygian Pattern will be one point greater, and to unlock the seal, it takes several times the power of the Netherworld that the Stygian Pattern itself can contain. And the reason why you have the code in your body shows that you have the talent to become a contractor, otherwise I would not be able to connect with your soul, that is, I am your soul, but it is much more advanced than those who are unconscious. ”

"How advanced?"

"It's useless for you to know the truth, I woke up early, it is both good and bad for you, which one do you want to listen to first?"

"Bad. ”

"My existence needs the support of your Netherworld power, so from today onwards, your cultivation speed will be several times slower than in the past, because some of it needs to be absorbed by me. Originally, it only took you five years to have the power to awaken the Stygian Pattern, but now, you need another twenty years. But don't try to leave me alone, unless you're dead. ”

"I'm grass!" When Han Ling heard Qiyou's explanation, his first thought was to leave this guy aside.

"And what about the benefits?"

"Well. Hey, boy, do you want to be a contractor?"

Hanfu.

Seeing that the surging Netherworld Power dissipated, Han Hu and Xuan'er were all nervous, and they knew that if Han Ling still couldn't condense with the help of the Netherworld Stone, then in this life, maybe Han Ling could only be like this.

Han Hu clenched his fists slightly, he already had a plan in his heart, if Han Ling failed, he would definitely drive him and Xuan'er away, after all, he offended Xu Dongsheng, near this Beiping City, it was almost impossible for a mortal to survive well.

Xuan'er Mei looked at the top of the mountain, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed silently.

"It's a little strange, it stands to reason that when the Netherworld Qi dissipates, the Netherworld Pattern Condensation should also be completed, but why hasn't Ling Er come down yet. ”

"Maybe Brother Han Ling is getting used to it. Xuan'er said in a tone that she didn't believe.

Just when the two of them were guessing, they saw Han Ling walking down from the mountain, but his expression was neither happy nor sad, which made the two of them unpredictable.

"Dad, Xuan'er. ”

"Failed?" Han Hu asked.

Han Ling shook his head.

"That worked!?" Xuan'er smiled very happily.

Han Ling shook his head again.

"Brother Han Ling, just say it quickly. ”

"It worked, but I can't use the power of the Stygian Pattern yet, so it can't be considered a success. ”

"I'll see. As he spoke, Han Hu grabbed Han Ling's hand, pinched his pulse, and a trace of netherworld power poured into Han Ling's body.

After a while, Han Hu let go of Han Ling's hand, and the result of his investigation was indeed as Han Ling said, his soul had been engraved with the Dark Pattern, but the Dark Pattern was dim and had nothing to do with it, and it could not attract the power of the Underworld.

Han Ling naturally concealed something, and this was also explained by Qiyou, the current Han Ling is still too weak, if someone is detected, not only Han Ling, but his family will hardly be spared, this is also because Han Ling will listen to Qiyou's opinion and hide it from his father and Xuan'er.

"I knew that Brother Han Ling would succeed. Xuan'er smiled and ran to Han Ling's side.

"This is thanks to someone's dowry, by the way, after receiving someone's dowry, should I also do something......" Han Ling couldn't help but tease Xuan'er, and at the same time grabbed his slender waist with one hand. In the past, the inability to condense the dark pattern shrouded my heart, and I really didn't notice that the little girl next to me had grown into such a beautiful appearance now.

Han Ling's behavior made Xuan'er's face immediately red, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I don't want you to do anything. Finally, Xuan'er replied in a voice the size of a mosquito, but the person leaned on Han Ling.

"Alright, you two don't love me in front of the old man. Ling'er, although you have succeeded in condensing, Dad still feels strange. Our family is only a ground-level beginner-level method, so it stands to reason that this will not happen......" Han Hu was worried about Han Ling's body, and he also vaguely sensed that the Dark Pattern Method seemed to be a little different from the one in the family.

"Dad, different people will have different situations when they cultivate, and now I am very satisfied with being able to condense the Dark Pattern, although the power of the Dark Pattern cannot be used yet. ”

"Well, but that guy Xu Dongsheng may leave for the royal capital tomorrow, and if he asks the king to marry him, you may have to take Xuan'er and flee immediately. With Xu Tianxing's right to speak in front of the king, it is effortless to say that the marriage is given. ”

"I understand all of this, but there is no way to do it, there is a way. ”

"What else can be done about the current situation. ”

"Naturally there is, if ...... Am I a contractor?"
