As the sky is about to dawn, a strange tree is blooming.

It is very tall and old. During this time of flowering, there is no leaf on the trunk, but it is full of countless jasper-like buds.

In the glimmer of light in the sky, countless strange flying insects and brocade birds that are usually invisible are flying above the canopy.

The buds bloomed very quickly, and the pollen inside was sprayed quietly like countless syrups.

The whole tree was bathed in strange glow, and even the scars left by insects and thunder fire on its body began to rejuvenate new vitality.

However, at the next moment, all the light suddenly dimmed, and the pollen that sprinkled like silver syrup turned yellow like mud, and the petals like jasper instantly withered and turned black and fell, falling all over the sky like black snow.

With this strange tree as the center, the tide-like screams and lamenting sounds spreading towards the city.

In a dilapidated courtyard in the north of the city, Lin Yi was also watching the ancient tree that lit up and instantly dim.

When a withered black petal flew in the wind and flew across his cheeks, the first ray of dawn in the sky fell just in time, illuminating the city.

Lin Yi sighed softly, shook his head, and started to fetch water and wash from the old well in the yard.

This is Jiankang City in the spring of the sixth year of Tianjian.

Since Emperor Wu of Liang ascended the throne, he was named Tianjian and established his capital Jiankang, only six years later, the city has been completely renewed and prosperous, and is called an unprecedented new city.

The city is a new city, but most of the people are old people. However, with the change of imperial power, their respective encounters have become completely different in just a few years.

Lin Yi had a classmate meeting today.

He was a student of Qiyun College in the previous dynasty.

Qiyun Academy is the best college in the previous dynasty. Those who can enter this college are all children of high-ranking officials or nobles or wealthy families.

His father Lin Wangbei was appointed as General Cheqi and Cavalry, and was a powerful minister with heavy troops. But who could have expected that in a mutiny, the governor of Yongzhou, Xiao Yan, seized the throne, and became Emperor Wu of Liang. The bureaucrats who previously supported Emperor Wu of Liang naturally became the first to become a new noble, but if they were an opposition, they would naturally be punished.

Lin Wangbei was not an opposition, and was a border army and was considered a neutral faction. However, he did not have a good relationship with Emperor Wu of Liang in the past, so his military power was cut off and he was exiled to the border county to train his horses, and his family property was confiscated.

Lin Yi also went from being a prominent and powerful child to becoming almost the same as a poor orphan.

Among the students of Qiyun Academy at the same time, a few of them were in a similar situation as him, some were even miserable, some were punished as slaves, and some were killed in the whole family, but many of them had reached the sky in one step and even became royal relatives.

The classmate meeting is nothing more than a place where classmates are in good condition to show off. Lin Yi, who falls from the clouds to the ground, may be deliberately ridiculed by others, but I heard that some friends happened to come back, and some people he wanted to see may also go, so Lin Yi did not deliberately escape and wanted to go and see.

The classmate meeting was at noon, and the location was Qingliufang, Sanyan Bridge, the city. He had already calculated it in his mind, and walked to several old bookstores in the south of the city for a walk, and then went to Sanyan Bridge, and the time was almost the same.

"Lin Yi."

But after washing up, he ate a coarse grain bun left last night for breakfast. He had just walked a few steps away when he heard a crisp and pleasant female voice.

He turned his head in surprise and saw an inconspicuous carriage parked on the side of the road, with no coachman in front of the car.

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, but a beautiful and exquisite face was revealed.

"Baby Chen?" Lin Yi was a little surprised.

This is a beautiful girl and one of the few classmates he wants to meet.

Chen Baobao's big name is actually Chen Baowan, but her family is used to calling her nickname Chen Baobao. Lin Yi and several friends are familiar with her, so they often joke about her. Later, they shouted it smoothly, but they didn't change it.

It should have been more than three years since I saw it.

Lin Yi was a little confused. Compared to three years ago, she seemed a little mature and grew taller, about the same height as him.

She was wearing just an ordinary plain cloth dress, but when she walked in the morning glow, she still looked curvy and graceful.

"You have not seen each other for three years, you are even more beautiful." Lin Yi smiled and praised sincerely.

"You are still as shameless as before, and you are not afraid that I will think you Meng Lang." Chen Baowan made fun of Lin Yi, with a calm expression, and even more youthful and beautiful.

"Why are you here early in the morning?" Lin Yi looked at her smiling face and felt a little warmth in her heart. In the past few years, many people have changed, but the other party seems to have not changed much, and it is still the same as before. "There was no news about you before, where have you been there in the past few years?"

Chen Baowan underestimated: "I was sent out to study for a while by my family. I only returned to Jiankang yesterday and found out about you. I came to see you in a special way early this morning. Are you moved?"

"I can't wait to think of me so much?" Lin Yi's expression was also relaxed.

"That's it." Chen Baowan laughed like a silver bell and looked at the courtyard behind Lin Yi: "Since you have arrived at your door, don't you invite me in and sit down?"

"Then as long as you don't dislike it." Lin Yi made a gesture of asking for help; "I can't ask for it."

"Lin Yi, your room is really breathable."

Chen Baowan, who was watching everywhere with interest behind Lin Yi, couldn't help laughing.

She saw three bungalows in Lin Yi's yard, but there were holes in the roofs.

"Those two rooms are piled with some unusable debris." Lin Yi teased back easily, "I am a lonely man, only use one room, but if you want to come and live occasionally, I can repair another one."

"You really dare? Are you not afraid of reaching someone's ears?" Chen Baowan sneered as if no one was around, "I guess you want to see her in this class meeting, so you are interested in attending."

"I think so, but I have little hope." Lin Yi didn't hide it, and said seriously at her: "No matter what, you are one of the four people who want to attend the class meeting."

"There are four? Who else besides her and Shi Tou?" Chen Baowan also restrained her smile and asked.

Lin Yi said: "There is Lin Yuxuan, based on relationships, she is actually my distant cousin."

Chen Baowan looked up and down at Lin Yi: "You have a good relationship with her? Why didn't I see it when I was in the college?"

Lin Yi explained: "It's just that she cares about her situation. Because of my Lin family, she should have been a little implicated. When she was in the college, she was taciturn and did not compete with others, and she was easily bullied."

Chen Baowan couldn't help but shook her head: "Lin Yi, I didn't realize that you are overwhelmed with protection."

Lin Yi smiled embarrassedly, "Even if it's a little bit, it's not all. You don't know, she's really good. If you help her, she will do her best to repay you, and you won't let you know."

Chen Baowan was silent for a while and said, "But people can change."

"Of course you have to think about the better, but you haven't changed, just like before." Lin Yi laughed, seemingly joking, but actually serious.

Chen Baowan didn't smile.

"You have not changed as before." She looked at Lin Yi's eyes, even a little serious. "I am still as optimistic and confident as before, but still so naive. It seems that my worries are redundant."

"This is for you." Before Lin Yi could answer, she had already taken out a gray wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, "What is this?"

"There is a yellow bud pill inside and a sponsored letter that allows you to go directly to the Nantianyuan." Chen Baowan said directly without saying anything.

Lin Yi was stunned and then shook his head, "This is too expensive. I know that even if it is you, such things are not a trivial matter, and I can't accept them."

Chen Baowan stood with his hands behind his back, and did not take Lin Yi and pushed the wooden box in front of her. He just said quietly: "This gift was originally prepared for you. In the eyes of others, I am the daughter of Shangshuling, but in your eyes, I am still the same Chen baby as before. And I am sure that if we lose one today and I will lose power in the family, you will also help me."

Lin Yi frowned and pondered for a moment: "I do need the sponsorship book, but in fact I don't need the Huangya Dan."

"I also see that you have condensed into yellow buds." Chen Baowan smiled, but then she turned around, looked at the direction of the ancient tree, and said more seriously: "But now is different from the past. Since you have condensed into yellow buds and officially become a member of the world of cultivators, I believe you should guess that the era of spiritual wasteland recorded in the book has officially arrived."

"I've really confirmed it?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his face changed slightly.

"The situation is much worse than you think." Chen Baowan hesitated for a moment, and did not turn around to look at him. After a while, he slowly said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is still a secret that cannot be circulated in the court. Remember to hear it, don't tell anyone that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has indeed become thinner year after year. According to expectations, this year's spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not only difficult to support the blooming of this green cereal, but this ancient tree will die soon. In the future, the spiritual medicine used for cultivation will become more and more rare. Although you no longer need to rely on the Yellow Berry Pill to condense the Yellow Berry Pill, at least the Yellow Berry Pill can be refined and improved some of your cultivation. What's more important is that the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are still from south to north, and the spiritual energy disappears faster than the north."

Her last few words were particularly humble, but it was shocking than any of the words she had said before, like thunder.

(At the beginning of the new book, I need more support. I won’t say much extra words. This book needs to be written with 100% energy. I hope my serialization can accompany you every day in the future.)
