The security company's basement is extremely secretive and difficult to enter. If you want to enter the basement, you must enter a triple password to enter the core area of ​​the basement.

The reason why Lin Tao built such a complex basement was because there were too many enemies at the time, and he was afraid that one day he would be desperate to take advantage of the situation. However, he did not expect that he would accidentally become a secret room for storing ore.

After the three of them got out of the secret room, Lin Tao entered the password, and the door made of steel plates and titanium alloy slowly opened. In an instant, a tremendous energy came towards him.

"It's true as I expected!"

When Lin Tao saw the black stones piled in the secret room, his face showed ecstasy.

"What the hell is going on with Xiaotao? Don't keep it a secret."

Chen Manli couldn't wait to know the truth, so she urged her.

Lin Tao smiled mysteriously, took out a black stone from his arms, shook it in front of Shen Manli and Fan Xiaojun, and said with a smile: "Do you think this kind of stone looks familiar?"

Fan Xiaojun said in surprise: "Isn't this the same ore as the one we dug out?"

"Xiao Tao, why do you have this kind of ore in your hand?" Chen Manli asked.

Lin Tao's smile gradually calmed down and he said seriously: "I obtained this kind of stone abroad a few days ago. It is called energy stone abroad, and in our China, it is called 'cultivation stone'."

"Cultivation stone?"

Chen Manli and Fan Xiaojun said in unison.

"Yes, it's a cultivation stone. This kind of stone comes with spiritual energy and can help practitioners quickly improve their cultivation."

When Chen Manli heard Lin Tao’s explanation, she showed joy on her pretty face, “So, we have so many cultivation stones, can we directly reach the highest level of cultivation?”

Lin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Things like realm require a circular economy, so you can't do it randomly, otherwise you will be eaten by the inner demon and become possessed by the demon."

After a pause, Lin Tao said, "Although there are many cultivation stones here, the spiritual power they use is similar to the spiritual power of the cultivation stone on me."

"Your cultivation stone is so powerful?" Fan Xiaojun stared at the cultivation stone in Lin Tao's hand with wide eyes.

Lin Tao said: "My cultivation stone fell from the sky. I heard from the leader of the Hong Sect that it might be a spirit stone from the upper realm. The quality of the cultivation stones dug out from the ground is definitely much worse than the cultivation stone on me."

Some information revealed by Lin Tao inadvertently made Chen Manli and Fan Xiaojun look confused.

"Xiao Tao, where is the upper realm you are talking about? Could it be..." Chen Manli stretched out her finger and pointed to the sky.

Lin Tao sighed and shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know much. I just heard the rumors. I have no way of knowing whether there is really another world in the world. Maybe I will figure it out one day."

Chen Manli did not continue this topic. She looked at the cultivation stones piled on the ground and said, "How do you plan to deal with this batch of cultivation stones?"

In fact, during the time when Lin Tao went to the basement just now, he had already thought about the purpose of this batch of cultivation stones. At most, he would have to cultivate to become a earth immortal in a few months. At that time, he would go to the cave deep in Mount Hua and let the mysterious old man take him to another world. If he left, the most worrying thing was the safety of these confidants. In order to allow them to have the ability to protect themselves after they left, Lin Tao decided to use this batch of cultivation stones to turn them into cultivation masters.

"Manli, have you ever thought of becoming a cultivator like me?" Lin Tao looked at Chen Manli solemnly and asked.

"Ah?" Chen Manli looked at Lin Tao in surprise, "What do you mean... do you want me to practice?"

"Well, with this batch of cultivation stones, I can turn you and Chang Jiali into cultivation masters. How about it, do you want to practice?"

Chen Manli said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I... I'm afraid I can't learn it."

Lin Tao laughed, "Don't worry, I will help you open up the sea of ​​qi, and then teach you the method of absorbing the mind, and then you can just absorb the spiritual energy in the cultivation stone."

Chen Manli thought for a while, then pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "In order not to become a burden to you in the future, I am willing to learn!"

"Brother Tao, can you teach me too?" Fan Xiaojun, who was beside him, rubbed his hands and asked with a chuckling.

"Don't worry, you're indispensable."

Lin Tao has always regarded Fan Xiaojun as his most loyal subordinate, and Fan Xiaojun is indeed loyal enough. There is nothing wrong with Lin Tao that he has made Fan Xiaojun a cultivator.

"Since you've made up your mind, let's start now, how about?"

Lin Tao looked at Chen Manli and asked.

Chen Manli said in surprise: "So urgent?"

Lin Tao sighed in his heart, "You can't be anxious. I'm afraid that I won't have much time in this world. Only by building you all into cultivation masters earlier and having the ability to protect yourself can I go to another world without any worries to explore the deeper secrets of cultivation."

Lin Tao looked at Chen Manli and smiled, saying, "How about not being in a hurry? There are still many people queuing up behind you. I will help you condense the sea of ​​energy first, and then you can practice by yourself. Cultivation can make you live a long life!"

"Really?" Chen Manli looked surprised.

"Of course, it can at least make your lifespan reach one hundred and fifty years!"

"Then... Then you can help me condense the sea of ​​qi, and I want to practice quickly."

A woman’s nature is to love beauty. When she heard that practicing can keep youthful, Chen Manli suddenly became extremely excited.

"Xiaojun, you go out first, and after I gather my energy for Manli, I will help you gather."

"Okay, Brother Tao!"

Fan Xiaojun looked at Lin Tao with gratitude, turned around and walked outside.

Lin Tao instructed: "Don't let anyone come here. When I condense the Qihai for Manli, don't disturb me even if something big happens!"

Fan Xiaojun nodded and said, "Brother Tao, don't worry, I will guard outside the gate and will not let anyone disturb you."

Lin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a matter of a few minutes to condense the Qi Sea. It can be done in more than ten minutes. You'd better not stay outside. It's more secret here, and no one usually comes."

"How long will it take?" Fan Xiaojun asked curiously.

Lin Tao said: "Depending on everyone's situation, it's only half a day at the slowest time."

"What about the fastest?" Chen Manli asked rushingly.

Lin Tao said: "At the fastest is half an hour."

"Why are there such a big difference between people?" Chen Manli was a little puzzled.

Lin Tao said angrily: "Then tell me why some people are as smart as foxes, while others are as stupid as stupid pigs? It depends on the other party's understanding. If you have a good understanding, you will use a short time. If you have a poor understanding, you will use a long time. Just like memorizing a classical Chinese article. A smart person can roughly memorize it after reading it a few times, while a stupid person may not be able to memorize it in a day. This is the gap."

Chen Manli stuck out her tongue pretty and said, "I hope I'm not a fool who doesn't say anything!"

Lin Tao joked: "Don't worry, even if you are a fool, I can force you to gather the Qihai successfully, so don't worry."

Chen Manli gave Lin Tao a charming look, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I want to realize it myself."

Lin Tao smiled and watched Fan Xiaojun walk out of the basement, so he said to Chen Manli: "Sit cross-legged and let's start right away..."

...

Last night, after Zhou Xiuyun and Lin Tao separated at the airport, they took a taxi to the city and drove a room in a five-star hotel in the city. After resting for a night, they rented a car from a car rental company early this morning and drove towards the county town of her hometown.

The county town of her hometown is about 150 kilometers away from Xi'an, and it takes about an hour and a half to drive. In less than noon, she returned to the county town of her hometown, Wuling County.

Zhou Xiuyun's parents both died in a car accident when Zhou Xiuyun was in high school. After that, Zhou Xiuyun worked on various part-time jobs and finally graduated from college. She entered a good foreign company. She was later assigned to the M-National Corporation by the company. After working and living in the United States for a few years, she learned some ulterior motives of a senior executive by a coincidence and was kidnapped by a senior executive. One day, if it weren't for Howard's chance to encounter the scene where the senior executives of their company kidnapped her, she would have been in danger.

When Zhou Xiuyun thought of the dead Howard, she was inevitably a little sad. Although she had no love for Howard and only felt grateful, after all, she had been together for five years and said she was not sad.

The car stopped at the door of the old bungalow left to her by her parents. Although the house was not good, it carried all the memories of her and her parents. Even when she was in the most difficult time, she was not willing to sell this dilapidated bungalow.

After she parked the car, she got out of the car and was walking towards the door of the small bungalow, but suddenly she heard a buzzing sound of the engine. So she turned her head and saw a bulldozer driving towards her.

Seeing the bulldozer parked at her door, she frowned slightly, walked a few steps, walked to the bulldozer, and asked a middle-aged man with big belly and poop sitting in the bulldozer, "What are you doing?"

When the middle-aged man saw the beauty coming forward to ask, he showed a despicable smile on his face and curled his lips: "Can't the beauty see? This house needs to be demolished!"

Zhou Xiuyun's face suddenly became gloomy and she asked, "Who are you? Why should I demolish my house?"

"Your house?" The middle-aged man who drove the bulldozer was slightly stunned, then squinted his eyes and said sarcastically: "So what if it is your house? This old house is within the demolition scope of the municipal planning. Our boss has bought the development rights here, so this is no longer your house."

After hearing the other party's words, Zhou Xiuyun laughed furiously, and said with a cold look: "When will my house belong to your boss? Ask him, did he buy this house?"

"Then I don't care. It was the order given by our boss himself. I just want to demolish the house and ignore everything else!"

Zhou Xiuyun's pretty face turned cold, her eyes burst into murderous intent, and she said in a low tone: "If you dare to demolish my house, I will demolish your arms and legs!"

"Oh, little girl is so naughty, I'm not a little angry. I'll demolish your house today. Let's see how you're so naughty, how you're so naughty, you're so naughty to remove my arms and legs!"

The middle-aged man who turned on the bulldozer sneered, then turned on the bulldozer and rushed towards Zhou Xiuyun's dilapidated bungalow...
