Yue Xiuzhi looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a handsome young man in his early twenties appearing in front of him.

Seeing Yue Xiuzhi's eyes on him, the young man quickly put away his confused look, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xia Lanlan, don't you know your senior's name?"

"Gu Sinian."

Yue Xiu knocked the black shadow beast unconscious with his palm, threw it to the ground, looked at the young man, and asked: "You call this thing a black shadow beast, and there are monsters in modern times?"

"Don't seniors know?" Lan Lan was stunned, "Isn't the black shadow beast the most common monster in modern times?"

"???" Yue Xiuzhi was really confused.

I simply wonder if Pei Ming teleported to the wrong world and teleported him to the parallel world of the original world.

...

After some difficult communication, Lan Lan realized that Yue Xiuzhi didn't understand the modern cultivation system at all, and she couldn't help but sighed: "Senior, you didn't join the family or the government, and you never even exchanged cultivation materials with others. It’s amazing to have such cultivation.”

"What level of cultivation? Can you tell what level of cultivation I am?" Yue Xiuzhi tilted his head and glanced at Lanlan.

Lan Lan waved her hands again and again and said, "My eyesight is poor, so I can't see the specific cultivation of senior. Just watching senior catch the black shadow beast in one face-to-face, I know that senior's cultivation is extraordinary."

Yue Xiuzhi glanced at the black shadow beast on the ground, and said in his heart, this black shadow beast looks like a six or seven stage spiritual master, is it difficult to deal with?

"You just said 'the system of self-cultivation', people in the modern world also have self-cultivation?" Yue Xiuzhi asked.

"Exactly. Cultivation is not a fiction, but a cultivation system since ancient times. It is a pity that it is the end of the age, and the aura is getting thinner. Cultivation has long since declined and is hidden behind others. The black shadow beast just now has already established a foundation. for."

"Wait." Yue Xiuzhi suddenly interrupted, "You said, the aura is getting thinner?"

"Yes." Lan Lan nodded.

Yue Xiuzhi frowned. As a superhuman being, his spiritual consciousness was so powerful that it was terrifying. Some things, even if he didn't remember them intentionally, would be imprinted in his mind as long as he experienced them. It was even more terrifying than hypermemory . Not only will nothing be forgotten, but also the divine sense can accurately measure some things...

Therefore, even though he didn't have the ability to pay attention to it, in retrospect now, he can clearly realize that in the less than a month since he returned to the modern world, the aura did not 'get thinner', but in a increase little by little. However, the rate of increase is too small, so small that if it increases at this rate for another hundred years, it will be one-tenth more than the original.

But despite this, the aura is by no means 'getting thinner'.

Yue Xiuzhi told Lan Lan what he had observed, and Lan Lan suddenly looked very surprised. He said: "This is impossible. If the aura is increasing, we should not be in the age of the end of the Dharma...and we are indeed In the Age of Doomsday."

"We are in the Dharma-ending era, who told you?" Yue Xiuzhi looked up at Lan Lan, his eyes were slightly cold.

He wasn't targeting Lan Lan, but the practitioner's horribly accurate premonition told him that the truth of this matter was not simple, and it was also very important to him.

"Who told me?" Lan Lan looked very at a loss, "Many people, all the seniors in the cultivation world, and... Isn't this an axiom? If it is not the age of the end of the Dharma, why is the aura so thin? Why are there so many practitioners? so rare?

"You said that the aura has increased in the past month, it is probably only this month... After all, the world is so big, it is impossible to guarantee that the aura is getting thinner every moment, everywhere..." Lan Lan was a little speechless Second-rate.

"It's easy to know if it's 'only this month's spiritual energy is increasing'. Do you have any spiritual wood?" Yue Xiuzhi asked.

"Spiritual wood?" Lan Lan thought for a while, and a piece of wood that was one inch long and the diameter of the mouth of a bowl appeared in her hand, and asked, "Is this okay? This piece of Thundercloud wood, I just cut it from a hundred-year-old Thunderbolt wood." Fold it off, I originally planned to make a wooden sword..."

"Of course." Yue Xiuzhi walked up to Lan Lan, pulled out the Thunder Cloud Wood, and said, "The answer is obvious."

"Aura is recovering, not thinning."

"Why did you say that?" Lan Lan looked horrified.

"Could it be that modern cultivators only care about comprehension and don't even take the nine-year compulsory education?" Yue Xiuzhi said with a smile, "Elementary school students know that places with dense growth rings point to the north, while places with sparse growth rings point to the south. "

"Of course I know that. I'm still in college!" Lan Lan was a little annoyed, "You can use the annual rings to tell the direction. What does it have to do with aura?"

"The annual rings are sparse or dense, depending on whether there are good growth conditions in that year. The growth of ordinary trees is largely dependent on sunlight, so the annual rings will be relatively sparse near the sunlight. The growth of spirit trees, Naturally, it depends on the aura. The richer the aura is in a year, the thinner the annual rings will naturally be in that year."

After finishing speaking, Yue Xiuzhi threw the piece of lightning strike wood back to Lan Lan and said, "You should take a good look at it yourself."

Lan Lan carefully looked at the annual rings of the lightning strike wood, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she looked.

"If you say that this piece of wood is 100 years old, and that it was just broken off, then you can clearly see that the rings of this piece of wood become sparser as they reach the outer ring... It means that in the past 100 years, The aura is constantly recovering." Yue Xiuzhi said slowly.

"What we are in is not a world of doom, but a world of revived spiritual energy."

"But according to the speed of recovery, even if hundreds of years pass, you will not be able to have a normal cultivation environment." He concluded.

Finally, Yue Xiuzhi squinted his eyes to look at Lan Lan, and said, "It seems that the modern cultivation world is also hiding a lot of things."

Because the aura is recovering, as long as a person with a relatively strong cultivation base can feel it, but now it is said that it is the end of the age, obviously, the strong have chosen to hide it.

As he said, he suddenly pointed at Lan Lan's eyebrows: "Some things about me cannot be known to the outside world. So I branded you with a spiritual sense, which will prevent you from revealing some information about me to the outside world. If you If you have to tell the outside world, the imprint of your spiritual consciousness will destroy your spiritual consciousness before you say it."

"Sorry. But as long as you don't say anything, it won't affect you at all." Yue Xiuzhi said.

Lan Lan nodded stiffly.

"Please tell me about the various forces in the modern cultivation world, so that I can choose a high-level person to understand the truth." Yue Xiuzhi said, "Understand why the spiritual energy is recovering, and why it is hidden from you..."

Lan Lan was obviously very curious about the truth, so she quickly thought about Yue Xiuzhi and introduced all the forces in the modern cultivation world.

In fact, it is very simple. It is mainly the government and the cultivator family. In addition, there are some non-governmental organizations or religious organizations, and some casual cultivators.

The government has a special organization to manage and cultivate comprehension talents. Lan Lan was found by the government to be very talented in cultivation since she was a child, so she was brought to a special department for training. Now at the age of 21, she has established a foundation. In the current era, such a speed is already considered a genius - this is what Lan Lan said by herself.

Yue Xiuzhi felt that whether it was the government or the cultivation family, they should know part or even all of the truth. Dealing with the government takes a long time, and you may have to go through layers of procedures, but when dealing with those families... you just need to beat them up layer by layer, without any scruples at all.

In this way, it would actually be more convenient to find the Xiuzhen family, but Yue Xiuzhi didn't know anyone from the Xiuzhen family, and instead had a ready-made government official in front of him.
