Dream Picking Records

The boy lay in the lonely universe, and the fourth star map above his head gradually became brighter. A green dragon hovered above it, emitting a sacred light, and the high-pitched dragon roar resounded in all directions, and finally turned into pure spiritual energy and merged into the body of the fainted boy.

The starlight in all directions began to dim, and like flowing water, it converged towards the center. A middle-aged man slowly appeared.

The vast ancient spirit surged over him, and for a moment golden lotuses emerged from the ground, sweet dew fell from the sky, and the figures of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise were all dancing around him.

There was also the faint sound of all spirits worshipping him, as if he were the common ruler of the world.

He just stood there, and the whole universe was resonating with him. He didn't belong to the universe, but the universe belonged to him!

Unfortunately, a faint divine light was flowing around him, and his face could not be seen clearly. Gradually, the universe returned to peace, and the myriad strange phenomena disappeared.

The man looked at the boy in front of him, bent down and reached out to touch his forehead, and a gentle breath came into the boy's consciousness. Then he was very surprised and couldn't believe his own judgment.

"So low level?"

Not long after, Wang Xiao woke up and checked his body immediately. The mental pain was still there, but the impact was not great.

"Huh? I've made a breakthrough in self-cultivation! This is... the ninth level of Qi Control?" The surprise came so quickly that it was hard to believe.

He was only focused on the surging golden waves in his Qi Sea and didn't notice the man next to him at all.

"Congratulations, little friend!"

Wang Xiao turned around only to hear the man's cheerful voice behind him. He was somewhat puzzled as to why a person suddenly appeared in the dead silent universe.

"Junior Wang Xiao, may I ask what your name is, senior?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. This is just a wisp of my spiritual consciousness. You are the second person I have seen in eternity. It's not easy!"

The man also felt a little emotional.

"Is the first one the leader of Yunshan Sect?"

"Maybe, I don't understand things in the outside world. But I can't sense the life fluctuations of the last person, I think he is dead." The man's voice was calm, as if he was indifferent to life and death, and everything.

Wow, the leader of the Yunshan Sect was a figure from ten thousand years ago, and he actually existed even longer.

"Did the senior ask him to do something?" Wang Xiao guessed.

"You figured it out." The middle-aged man smiled.

"I gave him something very important. I hoped he would grow up before I could entrust him with something else. I didn't expect him to die young. What a pity..."

Wang Xiao stood up and bowed to the man, saying, "Thanks to the inheritance from the senior, I have been relieved of my ten years of suffering in self-cultivation. What can a junior do? As long as it does not violate morality, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The man was stunned. He didn't expect the boy in front of him to say that. He then chuckled and said, "First, find the thing I gave to the last person."

The man turned around and said, "That is an opportunity, but also a responsibility. You will know it by then. I won't put pressure on you now. I don't have anything else to give you in my current state. There is a saying that you can learn from, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Don't be deceived by his appearance."

After saying this, the man turned into a point of light and disappeared.

“Junior will keep this in mind.” Wang Xiao bowed, and the world he was standing in began to gradually break apart, with a little bit of sunlight shining in through the cracks.

After returning to the real world, he slowly opened his eyes and saw a square bone box floating in front of him.

"I almost forgot that there is a treasure reward." Wang Xiao reached out and picked up the bone box, and then the ladder dissipated and landed safely.

Two ethereal and brilliant girls were the first to gather around.

"Hmph, are you okay, little brat? I saw you fall down several times, which made me so worried. Let me check you quickly." Before he finished speaking, his fist had already hit Wang Xiao, of course it was just a simple and light blow.

"Brother Xiao, you are awesome. Is that bone box the reward you mentioned before? Let me have a look at it, hehe!"

Wang Xiao also handed the bone box to Xia Qingling generously, touched the back of his head and smiled at Ye Xiao: "I'm fine, you see I'm full of energy."

Before he could say anything more, a group of white heads gathered around him. They had no regard for children at all and pushed the two little girls away.

"How is it? Have you obtained all the scriptures? I saw the treasures left by the sect leader appeared." An elder asked anxiously.

"Yes, yes, young man, tell me quickly." A group of elders huddled together excitedly, their spiritual energy almost blocked.

"I have failed to live up to the expectations of the elders. I only obtained half of the scripture. I don't know why the treasure appeared. Maybe it is destined to be with me." Wang Xiao was also afraid that the birth of the complete scripture would cause too great a shock. His realm was too low and he was unable to preserve it, so he had to lie.

"Is that so? Don't worry young man, the scriptures and treasures are all yours, and we won't force you to hand them over. After all, you are a student of our academy, and we will definitely protect you and focus on cultivating you."

The elders were still skeptical, but they had no bad intentions. After all, the scripture was obtained by Wang Xiao, and the sect leader had also stipulated that the scripture treasures should be obtained by those who were destined to obtain them, and they must not be taken by force. Most of the elders were descendants of the survivors of that year, and they had deep feelings for the academy. They were happy from the bottom of their hearts when the academy produced talents.

"Thank you all seniors. I will definitely work hard on my cultivation, but I have only obtained a small part of the scriptures." Wang Xiao expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the sincere elders.

At this time, Hengjun walked past the many elders and grabbed Wang Xiao's hand.

"Ninth level of Qi Control?" Junheng was shocked again.

"Maybe it's something that has accumulated over so many years, and I suddenly realized it." Wang Xiao could only scratch his head. He couldn't tell others about his encounter with the unknown man.

"Little sister? How about I exchange some candy for this bone box?" An elder changed his target and ran to Xia Qingling, putting on what he thought was a friendly look. As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed aside by an older elder.

"Go, are you trying to fool a kid with a piece of candy? Come here, kid, I have a thousand-year-old elixir to exchange with you. It's sweet."

"I don't want it. I don't lack spiritual medicine either." Xia Qingling was very arrogant. She turned around and hid behind Ye Xiao, continuing to fiddle with the bone box.

"Okay, give the students some personal space, and this selection can be ended." An ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared on the platform, and everyone turned around and saluted.

"Dean."

Wang Xiao was also able to get rid of the enthusiastic elders and take a good breath.

"Awoo, wait a minute!" As soon as the words fell, a black tiger with a body as hard as steel jumped near the crowd, stirring up a cloud of dust. It was out of breath, and it was obvious that it was not easy to shout like that.

"Xiao Hei, don't act rude in front of the dean!" Hengjun hurriedly ran to Heihu to apologize for him.

"Master, Master, wuwuwu, the medicine was stolen."

"What? Runyang Flower is gone?" Hengjun didn't know what to say at this time.

"Did you see who took it?"

"No, but I remember his smell! He's right here." Hei Hu answered affirmatively, then looked at the dean with a wronged look on his face.

"Please, Dean, make the decision for me!"

"Who is it? I'm going to skin him alive." Hengjie conjured up a spiritual whip and whipped the ground, causing sparks to fly.

The black tiger closed his eyes and stood up, took a deep breath of air, then stretched out his claws and kept swiping at the crowd, finally pointing to a figure who was tiptoeing to the side and preparing to flee the scene.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wang Xiao turned around awkwardly. He thought that he would be fine after eating it, but he didn't expect that this thing was more powerful than a dog's nose.

"It's me. I thought it had no owner." He had no choice but to admit it since he couldn't avoid it.

The middle-aged man rubbed his forehead when he saw this.

"Forget it. Anyway, it's all for you younger generations. Fortunately, the medicine is mature, so it's not too wasteful."

"Thank you, Dean." Wang Xiao answered without waiting for anyone else to speak.

Black Tiger was also relieved, but he remembered the punch on the back of his head. He was still distracted, and Pingheng patted his head again, hitting the bulge.

"Why don't you thank the dean?"

"Oh, thank you, Dean." The black tiger held his head and tucked his tail between his legs and stood still.

This is the end of this selection.
