After dinner, it was already noon. Under the refraction of the sun, the interior of the Bai family villa was even more glittering with gold, as if it was immersed in a river of gold, making Gu Xiaolin feel like he was in the treasure house of an ancient emperor.

"Mr. Bai, we've already eaten. Please call me over this time. Can you help me clear up my doubts?" Gu Xiaolin sat down, then took a sip of tea, looked at Bai Xiong and said, although from the time he came to Bai's house to

Now, Bai Xiong behaves very kindly, but this does not mean that he has no purpose. On the contrary, the better the attitude towards you, the more rifts there are in his heart.

Therefore, Gu Xiaolin never relaxed his vigilance against the white bear, but walked on thin ice every time he spoke. It can be said that Gu Xiaolin is like a lone wolf now, always maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

"Haha." Bai Xiong smiled and said: "Since Mr. Gu is quick to talk, then Mr. Bai will not beat around the bush. I believe Mr. Gu also knows that the underground boxing ring in Donghai City is run by my Bai family, right?

"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolin's eyes tightened, and many things were easily solved. The reason why Bai Xiong found him was because he was able to deal with the zombies. However, the doubtful look on Gu Xiaolin's face only flashed across his face.

That's it, it became calm as water again.

Bai Xiong is such a person, Gu Xiaolin's slow eyes naturally did not escape his eyes, but he was not in a hurry, and continued: "The last time Mr. Gu dealt with was a martial corpse, and Wu is known as immortal, and in the follow-up

The power is endless, but Mr. Gu can actually subdue the corpse with one move, which has to be said to be a miracle."

Gu Xiaolin's face remained as calm as water. He was waiting for Bai Xiong's next words. Since the other party already knew that he had a way to subdue the corpse, he must be asking for it, Gu Xiaolin kept thinking in his mind.

Bai Xiong continued: "Our ancestors of the Bai family once had a secret technique to subdue martial corpses. It's called the spirit-swallowing technique. It has always been the core secret of our Bai family. Ever since that day I saw Mr. Gu's wonderful showdown in the underground boxing ring.

, I boldly guess that Mr. Gu used the spirit-swallowing technique of our Bai family."

Hearing Bai Xiong's words, Gu Xiaolin fell silent. This spirit-eating technique was passed down by the Ring Spirit, and the Ring Spirit had been hiding in this world for many years. He couldn't believe Bai Xiong's words.

"Mr. Bai, I don't understand what you are saying. If you just told me these things today, our conversation would have ended here." Gu Xiaolin said lightly, he always remained calm about the Bai Xiong in front of him.

A heart of caution.

Bai Xiong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Although the spirit-swallowing technique belongs to our Bai family, it was lost many years ago. Today, Mr. Bai just hopes to make a deal with Mr. Gu."

"Boy, the spirit-swallowing technique is indeed owned by the Bai family. Since he wants to make a deal with you, you should seize this opportunity." Just when Gu Xiaolin was filled with doubts, the Ring Spirit suddenly spoke.

Hearing the voice of the Ring Spirit, Gu Xiaolin's heart moved and he hurriedly asked: "Nether Spirit, didn't you fall into a deep sleep? How did you wake up? Doesn't this have any impact on the power of your soul?"

Seeing that Gu Xiaolin knew that the first thing he did when he woke up was to care about him, the Ring Spirit smiled happily and said: "Haha, you don't have to worry. Since I woke up, I naturally did this only when I was sure. I will answer your questions later."

, all you need to do now is to negotiate with Bai Xiong, seek the greatest benefit for yourself, and create your own power, because I will teach you the skills next, which will use too many resources and cost more.

It’s endless.”

"Understood." Gu Xiaolin nodded secretly in his heart, then looked at Bai Xiong and said, "Why is Mr. Bai so sure that the spirit-swallowing technique is a lost inheritance of the Bai family? Also, does Mr. Bai think it is feasible to make empty promises?"

The conversation between Gu Xiaolin and the Ring Spirit was an exchange of consciousness. Although the questions and answers took a long time, to the outside world, only a moment passed, so what Bai Xiong saw was that Gu Xiaolin fell into silence for a short while before speaking.

"Haha, I naturally know Mr. Gu's doubts, but as long as Mr. Gu is willing to return the spirit-swallowing technique to my Bai family, within the next year, the Bai family will provide force protection for Mr. Gu and protect Mr. Gu's personal life.

Safe, how do you feel about this condition, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Xiaolin shook his head and laughed. Bai Xiong in front of him had clearly understood Gu Xiaolin's identity and background. He thought that as long as he protected Gu Xiaolin's safety, he would definitely agree. Little did he know that Gu Xiaolin didn't like Bai Xiong at all.

The so-called protection by force. He believed that as long as he was given time, he would become a strong man with the help of the Ring Spirit.

"Mr. Bai, is this condition too simple? You only provide me with protection for one year, and you want to get the magical spirit-swallowing technique. This condition is not acceptable. I, Gu Xiaolin, do not need anyone else to protect me." Gu Xiaolin said coldly, with a look on his face.

No surprises.

Bai Xiong laughed and said, "Then Mr. Gu's condition is..."

"In the next year, the Bai family will not only provide me with military support, but also provide me with financial and material guarantees." Gu Xiaolin said lightly, expressing his thoughts.

Being a cultivator requires a lot of financial and material resources. Now there is an opportunity in front of him, and it is impossible for Gu Xiaolin not to seize it.

Bai Xiong thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said: "Meeting is fate. This time I will help my friend. Mr. Gu's request, I, Mr. Bai, agreed."

Then Bai Xiong waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to bring the contract. Then he signed his name on it with a few strokes and handed it to Gu Xiaolin. He said: "It's empty talk. I believe Mr. Gu won't believe it. With this contract

, no matter which property Mr. Gu goes to in the Bai family in the next year, he can get the greatest support. On the other side of Kyoto, if Mr. Gu needs it, he can go to the big guys in various industries and hand them this jade pendant.

, they will naturally help Mr. Gu."

With that said, Bai Xiong took out a piece of white jade from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xiaolin.

Since Bai Xiong was so decisive, Gu Xiaolin naturally wouldn't delay. He immediately asked Bai Xiong for a piece of white paper, then recorded the spirit-swallowing technique and handed it to Bai Xiong.

"Mr. Bai, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first." Gu Xiaolin took away the contract written by Bai Xiong on the table, and then continued: "If Mr. Bai doesn't understand anything about this spirit-swallowing technique,

, you can come and ask me, I will definitely tell you everything."

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Gu." Bai Xiong nodded happily, then waved his hand and asked his men to send Gu Xiaolin away from the Bai family villa.

When Gu Xiaolin's figure disappeared from the inner hall of the Bai family, the housekeeper asked with confusion: "Master, why do you treat him so kindly? He is just a bereaved dog, but you even gave him white jade. I can't figure it out."

Not only was Bai Xiong not angry at the steward's question, but the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened and he said:

"This boy is not an ordinary person. In one year, he will definitely be able to do something earth-shattering. This is my intuition. Uncle Bai, don't you still know my sixth sense?"

After hearing Bai Xiong's words, the housekeeper fell silent. Perhaps, he naturally believed what the head of the family said.

…

Back at his residence, Gu Xiaolin couldn't wait to ask the Ring Spirit: "Nether Spirit, aren't you going to sleep for a month? How come you wake up in just a few days? Will this affect the power of your soul?

?”

These words are the real worries in Gu Xiaolin's heart, because Gu Xiaolin knows very well that in the days to come, he will need the help of the Sky Swallowing Ring and the Ring Spirit. Even if one day, Gu Xiaolin reaches the true peak, he will also need

The companionship of the Ringwraith, because the Ringwraith had gone through the most precious years with him.

Hearing Gu Xiaolin's words, the Ring Spirit chuckled. Although he was a little moved, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he said: "The Bai family villa you went to today contains many ancient treasures, and these treasures have passed through countless treasures over the years.

The looting and fighting has already contained many undead souls, so as soon as you entered it, I had already begun to devour these undead souls to repair myself, so I was able to wake up early."

Hearing what the Ring Spirit said, Gu Xiaolin nodded, secretly thinking that was the case, and then asked: "The Ring Spirit, what is the technique you just mentioned?"

Hearing Gu Xiaolin's inquiry, the Ring Spirit replied: "The reason why humans can practice cultivation is entirely due to the evolution of human beings in ancient times who imitated the cultivation methods of ancient divine beasts. After thousands of years of changes, the human race has many cultivation methods.

There are many kinds of methods, among which three methods are the strongest. The first is the method of cultivating the immortal way, the Qiankun Tu, the second is the method of practicing the demonic way, the Heaven-Swallowing Scripture, and the third is...well, it has gone through many ups and downs for a long time,

I have almost forgotten what cultivation method is ranked third.

Of course, the top three cultivation methods are not about who is stronger and who is weaker. It all depends on the talent of the cultivator. In each era, three cultivators who each practice their own method will appear, competing for the protagonist of the human era.

, and you are the cultivator chosen by the Sky Swallowing Scripture, and I am your protector. Do you understand this explanation?"

After listening to the Ring Spirit's words, Gu Xiaolin nodded, and then said: "I understand."

"You are very smart and can get it right, but it is not enough. If you want to reach the extreme on this road, you need to improve your cultivation as much as possible, because you don't know what kind of obstacles are waiting in front of you.

You only have to improve your cultivation and have strong power, which is the most fundamental condition!"

"I know!" Gu Xiaolin nodded and replied. Cultivation is inherently unnatural. If you are not diligent, you will be caught up sooner or later. Gu Xiaolin naturally understands this. Now, in addition to revenge, Gu Xiaolin also has an additional goal.

, that is to reach the pinnacle of cultivation and achieve eternity!

"Nowadays, the earth's resources are scarce. If you want to practice, you must use elixirs to assist you. Do you want to become an alchemist?" After a period of silence, the Ring Spirit asked again.

"Alchemist?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolin was startled and immediately frowned: "Alchemist, I have read about this in a book. It seems that the requirements for becoming an alchemist are very strict, right? And there are not many alchemists in ancient Chinese history.

..." The words suddenly stopped, and Gu Xiaolin suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth: "Have I achieved it?"

Seeing Gu Xiaolin's shocked look, the Ring Spirit smiled knowingly and said: "Although your current cultivation level is not strong enough, you have barely reached the threshold of becoming an alchemist. But if you choose to become an alchemist,

, it may slow down your cultivation progress, are you willing?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaolin nodded, and then asked: "But it should be difficult to become an alchemist, right?"

"It is indeed difficult." The Ring Spirit nodded and explained: "If you want to become an alchemist, you must have the three flavors of true fire. To form the three flavors of true fire, you must cultivate the Dantian. You cannot have it now, but if you want to make alchemy

Materials can be sent to the Sky Swallowing Ring.

"Swallowing the sky, there is nothing that cannot be tolerated. Of course, there are three flavors of true fire. I will also refine the top elixir for you. You can also observe and learn. When you have enough cultivation in the future, you will be confident in refining elixirs by yourself.

It will also be a little bigger. But every time you swallow it, you must refine it carefully. There are three parts of medicine that are poisonous. I believe you also know this."

"I understand." Gu Xiaolin nodded, wanting to start refining alchemy right away.

As if he saw Gu Xiaolin's thoughts, the Ring Spirit smiled and said: "Don't be too anxious. After I teach you the Heaven-Eating Scripture, I will naturally ask you to collect the materials, and then I will refine the elixir for you.
