The sky was clear in the dream, but it was already snowy outside the grotto.

Master Meng Yang stood at the bottom of the cliff and looked into the cave where Lin Xiu was. His face was indifferent, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It is said that dolls born in the winter moon are generally softer, but I don't think so. Meng Yang seemed to be telling someone, but in fact he was talking to himself in the snow, "If she is still here, I don't know what kind of expression she should have when she sees this scene." Hehe, that's it, I'm here to guard it, and I should be a gatekeeper for you. ”

At this moment, a giant snake with a body two feet long and the thickness of an adult man's thigh quietly crawled into the grotto where Lin Xiu was.

This snake masterpiece "Eight Songs", only needs to live for another hundred years to become a snake spirit. Now that the weather is freezing and food is scarce, Baqu regards Lin Xiu, who is sitting in the grotto, as his last meal before hibernation.

However, just as Baqu slowly crawled towards Lin Xiu, it suddenly saw a blue fluff on the ground.

The grotto was dim, but Baqu could clearly see that behind the sitting young man, there was a figure with a slightly blue body.

Baqu immediately understood that this was most likely a beast that had come to compete with him for food. It immediately raised its head and spat out the pitch-black serpent letter forward. In this place, there is no beast that Baqu does not dare to kill or eat. However, the dark blue figure behind the young man exuded an aura that Baqu had never felt before, which made it a little uneasy.

However, seeing that figure was only the size of the boy's upper body, Baqu was not afraid after all, and his body flew forward, opening his bloody mouth, ready to swallow the boy and the blue beast together. But just as its fangs approached Lin Xiu's face, the blue-covered beast pounced on it at an unimaginable speed. Baqu didn't have time to see whether the other party was using claws or fangs, and in an instant, his head was in a different place.

The blue beast came to Baqu's body, its blood-red eyes revealing a cold and violent expression, and it opened its mouth suddenly, and soon swallowed the head of the giant snake into its belly.

An hour later, the giant snake in the grotto was eaten clean. The pan-blue beast straightened up, half its size than before. It let out a yawn-like strange cry from its mouth, burped, and then lay down beside Lin Xiu, using its fluff to block the cold for Lin Xiu.

In the dream space, Lin Xiu was already standing among the peach trees and dense forests. The sight is quite enticing, the peach trees are full of huge fruits, each peach seems to be dripping water, and the aroma is even more intoxicating.

Lin Xiu couldn't help but pick a peach, even if he knew that this fruit was not real, he wanted to bite it down.

"The peach source has come to fruition, and I don't know how the second layer of dreams can manifest. Lin Xiu muttered to himself, and suddenly, the black brush in his chest flew out quickly, and after drawing an arc in mid-air, it immediately flew towards Lin Xiu's hand.

With a "zila" sound, the brush pierced through the fruit in Lin Xiu's hand, but the effect was like bursting, and the peach that was hit immediately burst out and turned into pieces of extremely cold ice chips.

The ice flakes floated in mid-air for a while, then dispersed into finer powders. Soon, the peach source in front of Lin Xiu's eyes began to rotate slowly, and those powders seemed to be contagious, immediately turning half of the fruits in the space into ice chips, and finally, a strange scene appeared in Lin Xiu's field of vision.

In the dream space, the peach source is still there, but it only occupies half of the area at the moment, and the other half of the space is a deep purple nothingness. Dust-like ice chips flew away in the purple void, and a strange chill continued to rush towards Lin Xiu.

The brush struck Lin Xiu's head, and Lin Xiu knew that it was urging him to enter the cold space.

Lin Xiu didn't delay any longer and walked forward quickly.

"This chill is so strange, it's not cold......" Lin Xiu didn't know how to describe this feeling. As soon as he stepped into this second dimension, the fine pieces of ice attached to his body.

For some reason, all of a sudden, Lin Xiu's whole person calmed down, and the original sense of surprise and strangeness was swept away, but his perception of himself was even stronger.

He sat cross-legged and tried to use his spiritual power to wander around the day. Immediately, Lin Xiu immediately discovered that in this dream space, his ability to control spiritual power was significantly stronger. So, Lin Xiu began to cultivate according to the method of the second layer of condensation.

Just when Lin Xiu closed his eyes and meditated on cultivation, the brush used the ice chip powder in the space to draw four words in mid-air:

"Psychic Dream".

If it is said that the first layer of condensation qi is to introduce the spirit of heaven and earth into itself, then the cultivation of the second layer of condensation qi is to transform the spiritual power formed in the early stage into the physical body, and completely replace its own circulation with spiritual power, so as to achieve miraculous effects such as bigu. It can also be said that the second layer of condensation is the first fusion of spiritual power and the physical body of a cultivator.

Similarly, this layer is also a test of the talent of the cultivator. For people with outstanding talents like Li Yiqun and even He Kun, it is easy to break through the second layer. When Zhong Nan Sect Seven Xuan Ancestors were young, they even crossed the second layer of condensation within three breaths, which can be described as a freak with outstanding talents.

However, placing this second layer of cultivation in front of Lin Xiu's eyes is really like a mountain, not to mention shortcuts, right now, Lin Xiu can't even see the road, and it's not easy to turn over.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu had hardly encountered anything easy, and he didn't care about it. Especially in the second layer of dreams, it seemed that there was an external force consolidating his inner peace, even if Lin Xiu wanted to be angry, it would be difficult.

During the cultivation, the brush shuttled back and forth between the two layers of dreams, and actually sent the aura in the Taoyuan dream realm into Lin Xiu's body in a steady stream. In such a situation, as long as the Turtle Breath Technique did not end, then, Lin Xiu could continue to cultivate in the second layer of the dream realm.

Time gradually passed, and Lin Xiu gradually found a way out of the obstacles everywhere in his cultivation. The second layer of condensation began to open up suddenly, and a breakthrough seemed to be just around the corner.

However, in this situation, Lin Xiu suddenly realized an important problem.
