After finishing his bath, his clothes had already been washed clean and dried, so he could not see any traces of it outside. When Talking about the Old Man and him finished breakfast and arrived at the auction house, it was already filled with people.

Because of worry over the matter of him cultivating, Lin Jin didn't have the heart to say much.

However, he knew that Lin Jin walked on a path that was different from ordinary people, and that he did not understand too much about cultivation either. As a result, he did not say much, and only hoped that could quickly resolve the knot in his heart.

Following the sound of the gavel, the Auction officially started.

As the dark horse of the collection market in recent years, bronze artifacts had always been the target of high level collectors. Furthermore, there were quite a few quality bronze artifacts that were stolen from the collection in the tomb robber, so as long as a batch of them came up, they would be quickly taken away.

Talking about the Old Man had a special love for bronze artifacts. After fifteen minutes of working, he had already bought five to six bronze artifacts.

"..." "Number 34, Octagonal Brocade Bronze Ancient Mirror, starting bid 500 …" As there were too many things in the auction, in order to complete the auction as soon as possible, Auctioneer had already skipped the introduction and directly called out the auction price.

Hearing the familiar name, Lin Jin suddenly raised his head. On the screen, the ancient mirror was slowly rotating, displaying an unconcealable aura of earth.

Due to their poor appearance, there were only a few people bidding. Talking about the Old Man knew that this was what Lin Jin wanted. Although he did not know what was so special about this ancient mirror, he still raised his sign and shouted, "One thousand!"

When the other buyers saw that it was number 43, and that this Ancient Mirror was not a good item, they stopped bidding and successfully won the Ancient Mirror from Talking about the Old Man.

Talking about the Old Man looked at Lin Jin and laughed: This mirror is strange. "Research it and tell me!"

"Of course!" Lin Jin laughed and nodded.

When the Auction was done, because all of the auctioned items were placed together and were transported by someone else for the buyers after the Auction was finished, if they were not going to go and get them, they would have to wait until they were back at the Ninghua. As usual, the Talking about the Old Man made Lin Jin go to the main hall to wait, and once again walked towards the door in front of them.

Just as Lin Jin was about to leave, Zhou Ji suddenly walked over from behind.

"Brother Lin. Please wait! Remember what you promised me tonight? "

Lin Jin had always been thinking about cultivation, if Zhou Ji had not called him, he would have forgotten about this matter, but Zhou Ji was wholeheartedly focusing on that set of books, if the thoughts inside were not absorbed by Lin Jin, it would have saved him a lot of effort, for someone like him who wanted to cultivate, but also wanted to live a carefree life in the mortal world.

It was an irresistible temptation.

Seeing Zhou Ji, Lin Jin suddenly realised: "Lending a book right? "How about this, come to my room after lunch and watch carefully!" That set of《 holly seed s》 did indeed have many miraculous techniques, but he did not believe that Zhou Ji could understand anything within an hour.

Zhou Ji immediately said: "Then thank you very much, right. Is Brother Lin going to eat? Should they eat together? I know a few experts from the Taoism in Hu Shan, I can introduce you to them! "

Lin Jin laughed: "No need, I'll be going with Talking about the Old Man at noon. You can go first. You can come to my room at one o'clock this afternoon! "

"Then I'll take my leave first!" Seeing that he did not want to speak anymore with her, Zhou Ji took the elevator up to the surface and walked outside.

Lin Jin looked at his leaving back, and only felt that it was mysterious. The secrets he told him at night, was it just to arouse his goodwill, and to let him borrow books voluntarily to read? Or was there some secret in the book that he did not know? Lin Jin shook his head.

Not long after, the Talking about the Old Man was like yesterday. He walked over with a wood box in his arms. However, this wood box was far worse in comparison to the Tan wood box that was used to store books the day before.

Because this ancient mirror was not something precious within the antiques that the auction held, as soon as the wood box was in his hands, Lin Jin took out the ancient mirror.

The Talking about the Old Man called for a few dishes, looked at the ancient mirror in Lin Jin's hand and asked curiously: "Looking at its appearance, this mirror should have been buried in the ground for a long time, it definitely can't be some kind of cemetery companion, are you sure you didn't see wrongly?"

"I don't know either." Lin Jin looked up and down while holding the ancient mirror. He casually said.

Talking about the Old Man was at a loss for words.

The ancient mirror felt a bit heavy in his hand. Although it was not big, it seemed to be around ten to twenty catties.

The surface of the mirror was not the usual bluish-gray color, but was a light yellow color that was close to the earth. Moreover, it was stained with rust. If it wasn't for the Yin Yang Fish pattern on the back of the mirror and its gossipy appearance, no one would want it.

Lin Jin caressed the potholes on the surface of the Ancient Mirror, which made him feel that something was strange, but after looking at it for a long time, he still could not understand its mysteries. With a thought, Lin Jin immersed his consciousness into the mirror, wanting to see what was really inside.

Just then, the waiter had already served the food. Talking about the Old Man called out to him a few times, but he did not reply, he was still able to see through everything, he shook his head and laughed, then without being polite, poured himself a cup of wine and continued to eat.

Lin Jin's consciousness sank into the ancient mirror. He felt as if he had entered a layer of ordinary solid state, he examined the ancient mirror thoroughly, both inside and outside, but he did not find anything abnormal. Furthermore, he did not feel any spirit energy fluctuations like the fishing rod.

Retracting his consciousness and seeing that the Talking about the Old Man had already started eating, Lin Jin shook his head and threw the mirror onto the table, saying in disappointment: "I saw wrongly, it's just a broken mirror, there's nothing special about it!"

Seeing the look in Lin Jin's eyes, Talking about the Old Man smiled and put down his chopsticks: "Don't decorate my front, don't throw it away randomly!"

Seeing that Talking about the Old Man had intentionally acted like a philistine, Lin Jin laughed: "Your esteemed grandfather doesn't have any antiques, and still wants them from me. You bought this mirror with my money, it's at least a thousand yuan.

It wasn't a magic treasure. Decorating my small bamboo house is also not bad, haha, at least the Taiji eight trigrams tattoo on its back can scare a few ghosts! "

"You brat, I knew that you were stingy. I'll deduct two hundred cultivation fees from you when we get back. Eat quickly!" The Talking about the Old Man scolded him jokingly, but did not care too much, and invited Lin Jin to eat.

After lunch. Talking about the Old Man did not follow Lin Jin upstairs, but started to chat with another antique dealer who was also from Ninghua. Seeing that the Talking about the Old Man was in high spirits, Lin Jin did not want to disturb them, so he carried the wood box upstairs alone.

Returning to his room, Lin Jin first took out the < holly seed s > manual. He wanted to see if there were anything special about it besides the contents written, but after looking for a long time, he still could not find anything.

Another ten minutes passed. There was a knock on the door. Lin Jin looked at the clock in the room.

"You're on time!" Lin Jin muttered as he opened the door.

Indeed, outside the door, there was Zhou Ji with a reserved smile on his face.

They didn't say much and just exchanged a few polite words. Zhou Ji then borrowed a book from Lin Jin and read it. He didn't try to hide anything as he held the book in his hand and started reading.

Zhou Ji flipped through the book extremely quickly, almost to the point of flipping a page, seeing the expression on his face. He wanted to see what she saw from his expression, but Zhou Ji had a cold and indifferent expression the entire time, and her expression did not change in the slightest.

What he did not know was that Zhou Ji was currently crazily absorbing the remaining thoughts in the book. On the surface, he could not see much. But Zhou Ji also secretly felt pain in his heart, because he realized that more than half of the thoughts in the book had disappeared.

Looks like it was accidentally absorbed by Lin Jin.

However, even if it was the last bit of thought absorbed by Lin Jin, it would still allow him to become much clearer on it. He understood many of the principles that he couldn't comprehend no matter how much he comprehended in the past.

For someone like him who relied on his own cultivation experience to cultivate, the benefits he obtained this time was unimaginable. However, to a cultivator like Lin Jin, this remnant will was far less important than the contents of the book.

After more than twenty minutes had passed, Zhou Ji had already flipped to the last page of the < holly seed s > manual.

He closed the book. A faint precious light surfaced on Zhou Ji's face. This was a sign that his spiritual power had risen to another level.

"Thank you Brother Lin for your kindness. If there is anything I can do in the future, I will help. Just open your mouth! " Zhou Ji said in a serious tone.

Even though Zhou Ji had said those words to Lin Jin last night, but Zhou Wen had actually taught him a lesson when he was comprehending the Dao. Although he had mastered the arts of body control, he only understood the surface principles, and if he could say it, he would also understand the meaning, but he just could not understand it.

So sometimes, if you understand, then you understand. If you don't understand, then you don't understand. No matter how thoroughly you explain this reasoning, even if your meaning is the same, you still won't understand.

was this kind of person. Obtaining the experience left behind by a senior cultivation expert was like Buddhist enlightenment, he used the power Zhou Wen had built up for him in the past and that thought just now to instantly understand everything he had learnt, just like watching a movie of his own life. He felt that everything he had done in the past was ridiculous, like doing business, chasing beauties, scheming and scheming, hoping to slowly cultivate and comprehend the Dao in the future.

The time before the path of cultivation was the most precious!

That was the reason why this will that helped him to understand the Dao was so precious! That was why he, who was an expert in calculation, felt grateful towards Lin Jin in that moment.

This kind of gratitude from a monk was not like an ordinary person's. Once he had this emotion, it was equivalent to him burying a bond in his heart, which was why he made such a promise to Lin Jin.

When Lin Jin saw the treasure glow that appeared on Zhou Ji's face, he immediately knew that something in the set of books had caused his cultivation to increase by another step, and felt it to be a great pity.

Seeing Zhou Ji's promise, although it was a pity, he could only congratulate him: Haha, no need to be courteous, congratulations to Gongzi Zhou for raising your cultivation, if there are any problems, I can only hope that Gongzi Zhou will not decline! "

"Of course! If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave first! "

"Hm!" Gongzi Zhou take care, see you out! " Closing the door, Lin Jin started to study the < holly seed > technique again.

When the Auction returned to the Ninghua, Lin Jin hung the ancient mirror in the middle of the bamboo house. It was right in front of the bed, which added another bit of Dao intent to the bamboo house.

However … Because he was affected by Zhou Ji's words, Lin Jin did not know whether or not he should continue with his cultivation.

If what he said was true, then cultivating the body control method after opening the Large Circulation would be much more difficult, wouldn't that mean that the gains wouldn't make up for the losses? However, up till now, he still did not know anything about the art of controlling the body. Although his strength and agility were on a completely different level compared to an ordinary person, he could do whatever he wanted with it.

But there was still a long way to go.

One was like the Tao Book s, where the orthodox method of cultivation was to let nature take its course, and the other was to listen to Zhou Ji and cultivate it step by step until the basic cultivation was complete.

Both of these ideas seemed very reasonable, leaving him at a loss on what to do.

In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed and Talking about the Old Man was still as usual. Every two to three days, they would come for an autumn breeze. Just like that, Lin Jin went to the lake to fish and cultivate his lightness exercise.

However, most of his time was spent on researching the six Tao Book s and the newly acquired《 holly seed s》. Although he still only knew a little about the profound Tao techniques recorded in them, he had learned quite a few techniques to use the zhenqi s to turn them into mysterious spells.

The only thing that gave him a headache during this period of time. The only question left was whether he should continue cultivating.

Although Lin Jin would rather believe what Zhou Ji had said, he didn't have a teacher, and he didn't have any specific cultivation method for body techniques.

After cultivating for more than ten days, he had gained nothing else apart from a body of boredom.

Time flew by, and on this night, Lin Jin crazily ran more than ten laps around the entire mountain. He felt that his movements had become more coordinated, and he was much stronger than when he was competing with Zhou Ji over ten days ago.

The degree of Traceless Water.

After sweating profusely, Lin Jin took off his clothes and rushed into the lake.

He stepped on the surface of the water a dozen times, but could no longer lift it up in one breath. He threw himself into the water.

A cold feeling seeped into his heart, causing him to be much more clear-headed.

Floating on the surface of the water, he looked up at the sky. The Big Dipper was hanging diagonally in the middle of the sky, emitting bright rays of light. The other big and small galaxies twinkled in the dark. It looked abnormally deep and calm.

After ten days of not cultivating, Lin Jin suddenly had doubts about the purpose of his training.

Ever since he started cultivating in junior high school. He had been training nonstop ever since. Apart from the occasional lessons and the daily necessities, everything else was for training. But where was the meaning of training?

In the beginning, cultivation was naturally for longevity. In order to be superior to others and surpass others, one would no longer be bound by any rules and no longer have any thoughts on what to do.

But after cultivating, one had to be calm, not delusional, not impulsive, and not feel guilty at heart. And from time to time, they would even go on a rampage. Even though many ordinary people would never have the ability to do so, they would still lose a lot of happiness! Up till now, the purpose of training was as if it was all for training. Once he finished cultivating this level, there was still the lower level. When would he be able to cultivate to the Great Dao and become carefree? Lin Jin was confused.

In the past, he had doubted the significance of his own cultivation, but it was not as serious as this time. In fact, he was just a young man with a dream in his heart!

He wasn't a genius, he wasn't a superhuman, and he definitely wasn't some lucky star.

Although he obtained a bit of cultivation technique and persevered to cultivate it, in his heart, he still felt lonely.

Who would have known that in his sleep, he would occasionally cry from the memories of his parents, whom he had only seen in photos, and also dream of playing with his classmates from before junior high? But for various reasons, all of this was gone forever.

Control! How great it would be if he could control all of this! If he cultivated to the peak of perfection, he would be at ease. Not to mention some sacred art, even if he had his own mind, he would still be able to control it with ease. What broad-mindedness, what virtue is good, what spirit is optimistic... My will is my will. I will not be influenced by the outside world and take great care of myself. This is the true essence of cultivation!

It was just like what someone said, [Who cares about the flood after I die?] Compared to the entire universe, wasn't the Earth just a tiny dot in a vast and boundless universe? Why would they care about creatures like this one? If so, as long as he and the people he cared about lived a good life, why should he care about him?

Everything in the world was just like a stray dog! I am heartless, I treat the heaven and earth as nothing!

Staring blankly at the starry sky, a seed that Zhou Ji had inadvertently planted in his heart gradually sprouted out.

Stepping onto the shore of the lake, a resolute expression flashed across Lin Jin's eyes;

Because there were no electric wires on the mountain, when night fell, Lin Jin used the blackout s that used emergency lights.

At this time, when he returned to the house, the moment he opened up the blackout, it immediately gave off a green aura of vitality — — This was the color that was still off the bamboo, it looked fresh and bright.

Lin Jin sat on the bed, waiting to meditate and cultivate, when suddenly he saw the ancient mirror hanging in the middle of the room.

Under the illumination of the bright lights, the ancient mirror began to show a strange yellow-green color, and the uneven spots on the surface of the mirror began to emit a little bit of light under the reflection of the lights, just like the starlight.

Seeing the specks of light reflected on the Ancient Mirror, Lin Jin suddenly recalled the scene when he was lying on the water and looking up at the stars.

Why did these specks of light look so much like the stars in the sky? Could it be that these specks of light were not the rust from the ancient mirror, but rather the image of the starry sky that was reflected on it? Thinking about it, Lin Jin immediately took off the ancient mirror and looked at it seriously.

With this look, he was immediately shocked. The spots on the mirror had actually become exactly the same as the ones on the sky today!

Just what kind of secrets did this ancient mirror hide?
