It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Xiaosheng’s seventeen years in this world were full of wanderings and misfortunes.

I have been an orphan for as long as I can remember. When I was a little older, I was sold to a theater troupe. In order to make a living and practice my skills, I was beaten a lot.

It wasn't until I was seven or eight years old that I was able to perform as a performer, and I no longer suffered from physical pain.

Later, what really changed his destiny was when he met an outer sect soul-seeking envoy from Hanxi Mountain when he was twelve years old.

In the words of the immortal master, this boy has quite a lot of immortal roots. He might as well try to participate in the disciple recruitment meeting in Hanxi Mountain. If he succeeds, he can become a disciple of the Immortal Sect and cultivate the great path. If he fails, he can work as a handyman in the outer sect.

Being a bastard might be a way out.

After saying that, he ordered a few official flower passes on the spot, and with the old class leader's endless gratitude, he took the young man named Lin Jiu at that time directly to Hanxi Mountain.

What happened next was simple. There was one of the most diligent disciples on Dieyun Peak in Hanxi Mountain, and there was another orphan among the Immortal Sect of Dufeng Kingdom, and his name was changed to Lin Xiao.

With such past events as a basis, when Lin Xiao's fate and life have completely gone a different way and he finds that everything he relies on is about to be lost, how can he just sit back and wait for death?

So he didn't even think about it, and immediately twisted his hand to stop it.

But this finger bone is too weird, like a magnet, it absorbs all the true energy in the body, and my resistance is completely useless in front of it.

Just when he completely gave up resistance and lost all hope, the sudden change rekindled his hope.

Because the broken phalange seemed to have eaten and drank enough, it suddenly stopped absorbing, as if nothing had happened, and it hung quietly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Xiao, who had survived from a desperate situation, secretly exclaimed that he was lucky and immediately began to check his condition.

But the result that followed made people really unhappy.

The "cloud sea of ​​​​qi" that originally showed a faint light at the seventh level of Qi Refining is not only dim and sluggish, but also difficult to operate, and has also shrunk a lot. If measured by the level of cultivation, it is probably only around the third level of Qi Refining.<

/p>

In other words, this inhalation not only sucked away the true energy of the whole body, but also the cultivation level plummeted, and the results of several years of hard work were in vain.

But fortunately, Lin Xiao is not a weak-minded person. His heart is gone when he says it is gone, and it is not his skill that has lasted for decades or hundreds of years. At worst, he can just cultivate it back.

But what happened next almost drove him to a dead end.

Because as long as he practices, all the reassembled true energy will be sucked away immediately. And if he gives up on himself and stops practicing completely, those weird finger bones will act like a reminder and start sucking out the remaining energy in small sips.

That point of clouds and sea of ​​air.

At this time, Lin Xiao completely collapsed. If you don't practice, you will die. If you continue to practice, you will have to cultivate yourself. If you are blocked at both ends, you will really not be able to survive!

However, in order to survive, Lin Xiao could only quietly become a "medicine man", practicing every day, "paying tribute" on time every day, and claiming to the outside world that he had been wounded in battles, and his cultivation had plummeted.

In fact, his idea is very simple. It is said that the road is boundless, but what if there is a slight turning point?

It has been like this for more than a year, and hundreds of disciples on Dieyun Peak have more or less learned about Lin Xiao's "injury".

It’s not like he didn’t check with his master during this period. He was injured after working hard for the sect. It’s not good for the elders of the sect to just sit back and watch, but it was limited to a few martial uncles and uncles in the foundation building stage of this peak.

You have to know how many ordinary disciples have been injured in the past year while working for the sect. How big a golden face can you ask the peak master or even the head to treat you?

The result is predictable. No one can tell the reason. They can only attribute Lin Xiao's injuries to magic weapons, dark energy, or even curses. As for the phalanx, no one has discovered it at all.
p>

Of course, since the spiritual senses of these senior masters were not able to detect the phalanx, Lin Xiao would not take the initiative to say it.

After all, it involves one's own secrets, and the fate is uncertain, so how can one talk to others lightly?

Over and over again, when everyone discovered that Lin Xiao had basically no hope of recovery from his injuries, their attention to him gradually faded away.

What emerges from this indifference is the warmth and warmth of human relationships, and the harshness of the world.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, thinking back to all the events of the past year or so, Lin Xiao let out a breath.

He is open-minded. He needs to know that the practice of the Great Dao is inherently contrary to nature. If you catch what you encounter, it is an opportunity. If you cannot catch it, it will be a disaster. You can't blame others.

After gathering his mind for a moment, Lin Xiao began today's meditation practice by silently reciting the "Five Spirits Entering the Tao Sutra" as usual.

This scripture is an introductory book in Hanxi Mountain. The level of cultivation to the Great Perfection corresponds to the tenth level of Qi refining. Lin Xiao has long memorized it by heart, so he soon fell into silence, and only the slow and long breathing remained in the hut.

Voice.

Although this quiet room is not comparable to other high-level caves on the mountain where spiritual energy gathers, it is backed by the huge spiritual veins under the entire Hanxi Mountain, and its spiritual energy density is always much denser than the ordinary world.

This is also one of the important reasons why practitioners want to join a famous sect. Regardless of their talent, the resources alone already give them an advantage over others.

With several breath adjustments, the surrounding spiritual energy penetrated the skin under the guidance of the technique, and merged into the Dantian Qi sea like a trickle. After several rounds of up and down surges, it completely merged with Lin Xiao's own true essence.

The power is integrated into one.

At the same time, the broken finger bones also trembled, and some unpredictable force was used to directly lead the extra trace of true energy to go up against the meridian and be sucked into itself.

Lin Xiao was already used to such a strange scene.

"Suck it, suck it, I'll kill you sooner or later..."

Lin Xiao muttered subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the finger bones in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled, and even the speed of absorbing the power of true energy slowed down.

This situation shocked Lin Xiao.

"Suck it, suck it quickly, if you try to do something else, my life will probably not be enough! Suck it quickly!"

I kept thinking silently in my heart, but my breathing and breathing came faster and faster.

But instead of returning to normal, the severed phalange became more and more violent, as if it was about to break through the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this time, Lin Xiao was so frightened that his face turned pale and there was no trace of blood left.

You must know that the sea of ​​consciousness of a practitioner is the most important place. If the sea of ​​qi is dispersed, it may be rebuilt again. If the sea of ​​​​consciousness is dispersed, the spirit and soul will be completely destroyed, and there will be no chance of survival.

What's even more terrifying is that when Lin Xiao looked carefully, it seemed that there were faint cracks on the finger bones!

"This, how is this..."

His upper and lower teeth were chattering. Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao felt that the finger bones hanging in the sea of ​​​​consciousness between his eyebrows suddenly lit up, and there was a "boom" in his head, like clouds and rocks, the sky collapsed, and the earth collapsed.

A starry sky!

At the same time, a round milky-white circular force shot out with Lin Xiao as the center, causing the surrounding furniture to clang and sway.

Then the energy was sucked back suddenly, and the traces of energy poured into Lin Xiao's eyebrows!

At this time, Lin Xiao was experiencing a torture that was worse than life. Countless unexplainable thoughts pierced through his skull like steel needles and iron sticks, drilling into his sea of ​​consciousness. Every time they entered, they were like blunt knives cutting flesh.

It hurts so much that my gums are broken and my whole body is shaking.

Time passed by for a moment, but Lin Xiao felt that thousands of years had passed.

Finally, all the energy disappeared, and there was no more sound in the entire quiet room, leaving only a tortured figure like a shrimp, hunched over and kneeling on the bed.

"Plop" sound.

Lin Xiao, whose whole body was completely wet with sweat, lost all strength and fell directly on the bed.

The pain finally faded away, but now he was trembling even while breathing.

"Why don't you just fucking kill me..."

Lin Xiao used all his strength to yell loudly. He even forgot when was the last time he was violent?

It seems that since I came up the mountain, I haven’t shown any trace of my martial arts habits.

He was about to scold me again, but suddenly his eyes widened and he froze on the spot, as if he had discovered something terrible.

Under his inner observation, the finger bones of the Consciousness Sea had lost their original black color, and were now completely green, emitting a strange and dazzling luster.

"What is this?!"

Faced with these changes, Lin Xiao was shocked and speechless.

At this moment, a touch of spiritual consciousness suddenly fell from the sky, pierced through the roof, and stared directly at Lin Xiao!

Lin Xiao was so grateful that he froze on the spot due to the suppression caused by his level of realm. The "gaze" that gathered spiritual consciousness seemed to be able to see through everything. Just one glance made people feel that even their skin and flesh had been turned over from the inside out.

There are no secrets.

Big beads of sweat covered my forehead.
