The stars gradually sank, and the stars rose. On the silent stony hill, the faint sounds of night insects moving could be heard. In between the crevices of the mountains, a light breeze suddenly blew past the grass, trees, rocks, and the capsicum s.

As a few pieces of capsicum leaf landed on Lin Jin's eyelashes, he felt an itchy sensation in front of his eyes and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

Feeling the peculiar weight on the tree from his chest, Lin Jin immediately pushed himself up with his hands and sat on the ground.

It was the moment before dawn, when the world was covered in gray mist. On this pitch-black mountain, only the dark outline of the surrounding capsicum could be vaguely seen.

He touched his head, still confused.

As he sat up, he suddenly felt something in his mouth. He quickly licked it and realized it was a small round stone. He thought he accidentally dropped it into his mouth and immediately spat it out on the ground.

But as soon as he spat it out, he felt something was wrong. He suddenly remembered that he had bitten into a innate spiritual treasure.

”Could it be that the stone that was spat out just now was the innate spiritual treasure?” With that thought, Lin Jin was greatly shocked. He did not have the time to think carefully about how he fell unconscious, and immediately lied on the ground, looking for the direction the stone fell from. However, it was dark and the stone was small, so how could he find it?

Suddenly, Lin Jin knocked himself on the head fiercely, ”Why am I so stupid? Don't I have a flashlight?!” Ye Zichen quickly took out a flashlight from his backpack.

As expected, a small oval shaped rock was lying in the middle of the dark soil.

Picking it up and aiming it at the light of the flashlight, he saw that it was neatly imprinted with two teeth shaped small hole s. Lin Jin was shocked. He finally remembered why he had fainted.

Could it be that the fiery heat of the air before I fainted originated from the innate spiritual treasure that I bit open? Thinking about it, Lin Jin was startled, and immediately sunk his consciousness into his body, wanting to see if there was any change.

However, after his consciousness had wandered in his body for half a day, he still could not find anything abnormal, even the amount of zhenqi did not change.

I once said: the good of the ancient Taoists, Yuxi its winter wading in the water, Huoxi its ice will be released.

Even the true experts of the Dao were extremely careful in their cultivation. They were afraid that if they went down the wrong path, all their efforts would be wasted and they might even go berserk. What ability did he have to allow another unknown object to appear in his body?

If he could rely on his own ability to subdue and refine this innate spiritual treasure, Lin Jin would indeed be extremely happy. However, if he allowed it to freely enter his body, he did not think that he could control it before he understood the nature of the innate spiritual treasure.

”That hot air current should be the innate spiritual treasure's essence. Perhaps, it was released into the air the moment I bit into it! ” Lin Jin sighed slowly. He regretted not being able to tame it, but he was also disappointed that he didn't have enough cultivation experience.

If more time passed, after he connected with the Large Circulation, perhaps he could easily subdue it. It was a pity that the innate spiritual treasure's spirit energy had already been lost. Who knew how long it would take before it could take shape again?

The sky was already slightly bright. Before the villagers were awake, Lin Jin carefully put the transparent rock that had lost its spirit energy into his bag and quietly went down the mountain. He did not notice that when he left the capsicum, some of the curved capsicum had slightly righted their trees, as if they had escaped some kind of invisible pressure.
