Chapter 1: A Rural Boy

There is a small country called the Southern Wei Kingdom in the northern frontier of the Ancient Continent from Xuanzhou, and there is a mountain called Savage Mountain in the northern border of the Southern Wei Kingdom, which stretches for thousands of miles like a giant dragon entrenched on the ground. At this time, it was the scorching summer, only to see the trees in the mountain lush and dense, from time to time the birds, beasts and insects broke the silence of the mountain, only to hear a burst of beast roar like thunder in the sky, from a distance came the frightened surrounding birds, beasts and insects fled one after another, after a while, suddenly saw two young men with bamboo baskets on their backs, running to the mountainside, only to see its brisk steps like flying, in this rugged mountain field like walking on the ground.

One of these two people is named Wang Hong, and the other is a teenager named Wang Niu, who is two months younger than him. Both are twelve years old and from the same village. This time I went out to participate in the selection of the Medicine Gang and picked enough medicinal materials to become a disciple of the Medicine Gang.

"Brother Hong, let's rest, I can't run anymore." Wang Niu was panting and shouting dripping with sweat, Wang Hong stopped, looked back at Wang Niu, and looked into the distance, and found that the beasts that were chasing after the two of them did not chase after them, and at this moment it was a scorching summer, so he said, "Okay." He went to a huge tree and sat down.

"Fortunately, after listening to Brother Hong's words, I practiced escaping at the beginning, and spent all my kung fu on my two legs, otherwise I would have entered the mouth of those beasts this time" Wang Niu panted and said with palpitations.

Almost everyone in the Ancient Continent has to practice martial arts, although the talent is different, but becoming a martial arts master is almost everyone's dream and pursuit, the strong in the Ancient Continent are respected, and if you have strength, you will have status. After tens of thousands of years of development, people also have a systematic cultivation system. In the secular world, martial arts cultivation is divided into four realms, which are Qi Induction, Pulse Channeling, Pulp Purification, and Spirituality.

Qi induction is to introduce the qi of heaven and earth into the body to train the body to improve the strength of the body, and finally form a sea of qi to store vitality, and the pulse is to use the vitality stored in the sea of qi to form internal force seeds, and use internal force to open up the meridians of the whole body to improve the physical fitness in an all-round way, and to remove impurities from the whole body and reborn by washing the marrow. Psychic is a mysterious realm, it is said that people who reach this realm will have earth-shaking changes, have the means of immortals, make people have the beginning of the spiritual sense, and have the ability to never forget. And it can extend life up to 200 years old.

People in the psychic realm are rarely seen in the secular world. Each of the first three realms is subdivided into ten subdivisions, and each realm can be divided into four realms: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection.

And now Wang Niu is in the third layer of qi induction, that is, the early stage of qi induction, because when they start to cultivate, the two of them start by refining their legs, so the running speed of the two is four to five times that of ordinary people, and it is the most suitable for escaping, especially in the barren mountains and forests where wild beasts and birds of prey are often infested.

A breeze gently blew through the black silks, bringing a trace of refreshment to the two of them from time to time. Looking at the appearance of the two, I enjoyed this feeling very much.

"Brother Hong, do you say that we can pass the assessment of the Medicine Gang this time and become a disciple of the Medicine Gang?" Wang Niu asked casually, Wang Hong glanced at Wang Niu lying on the ground, and said, "As long as we can collect enough medicinal materials before going back this time, we will definitely be able to succeed, and we will definitely become disciples of the Medicine Gang this time." After speaking, there was a determined look in his eyes.

"However, now we only have such a small amount of medicinal herbs. I can't meet the requirements of helping to get started, there is less than a month to go, and it is about to end!" After speaking, his face was full of frustration, Wang Hong looked at Wang Niu again and said, "Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, believe me, it won't be long before we can collect enough medicinal materials." Wang Niu said with a look of surprise, "Brother Hong, don't lie to me, it has been nearly a month since we collected such a little medicinal material, how can we collect enough medicinal materials in the same time!" Wang Hong saw his look of disbelief, so he smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything, so he closed his eyes and rested.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another few days have passed. At this time, Wang Hong and the two of them came to a mountainside of Savage Mountain after experiencing some risks, the mountainside is flat all around, full of 100 zhang wide and long, the green trees on it are shady, flashing a little dazzling silver light under the illumination of the sun, dozens of kinds of medicinal herbs grow on the mountainside, there are ginseng, nine-leaf flower, Fulong grass, unicorn zhi and so on. This scene in front of him was reflected in Wang Niu's eyes, and he saw that his expression became extremely excited, and he couldn't help but hold Wang Hong's hand, and said excitedly, "Brother Hong, we sent it this time, with these medicinal materials, it is a sure thing that we will become a medicine disciple."

"Haha" laughter echoed on the mountainside, and the frightened birds and beasts flew into the distance.

A gust of fresh wind blows through the mountainside, giving a refreshing feeling. Wang Hong and Wang Niu each took a medicine shovel to pick a piece of medicinal herbs, and said that they fell on the West Mountain, only one seedling was swaying in the wind on the mountainside.

"Thirty-six, thirty-seven...... One hundred and twenty-seven, Brother Hong, we have become rich, plus the medicinal herbs we picked before, now we have nearly two hundred medicinal herbs. In addition to the less than 100 plants we need to turn in, we can still have more than 100 plants left!" Wang Niu said incoherently to Wang Hong.

Wang Hong looked at Wang Niu, who was in excitement, and said, "Ah Niu, pick out the medicinal materials that are relatively old, and hand over the rest as task items."

"Why," Wang Niu asked, puzzled. Wang Hong thought for a while and said, "I heard from the Cui Steward, who is in charge of our group, that those who can enter the top three in Dabi this time will have additional rewards, and this reward will be of great benefit to our development in the gang." ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Niu was still reluctant to choose medicinal materials, and in the end, he still selected more than 30 medicinal materials that were on the vintage, and each of them had two or three plants, each of which was more than 30 years old, and the largest one was almost 100 years old - it was a Qilinzhi.

The afterglow of the setting day completely dissipated in the vast sky, a bright moon slowly rose from the sky, like a fairy bathed in dust, holy and refined, the moonlight shrouded the forest all day long, wrapping the vast wilderness with a layer of silver. In the dark night, in the cave where Wang Hong was sleeping, "Brother Hong, what to do with these medicinal materials that were picked out." Wang Niu asked in his deep and innocent voice, and Wang Hong comforted

"Don't worry about this, I can dispose of these medicinal materials and bury them, or I can sell them directly, but it's a pity to sell such good medicinal materials, and it may also cause some trouble, so I think it's better to bury them." Wang Niu, a simple young man who has no opinions, and everything is based on Wang Hong's horse, said "Okay" after listening, and time passed bit by bit. Soon after, only the thunderous snoring of the king bull echoed through the cave. There is only one bright moon in the sky, wandering alone in the sky, which is very miserable.

The next day, just after dawn, a ray of sunlight crept into the cave, and wandered forward, as if looking for something, but in the end found nothing, only two bamboo baskets and a pair of medicinal herbs in the corner of the cave. Wang Hong and Wang Niu were no longer in the cave, but not far from the cave, two figures were shuttling between the trees, and the thick trees with interlaced canine teeth in front of them were like nothing in front of them. They shuttle through the vast mountains and forests, as light and nimble as apes.

When the sun and the sun climbed to the sky to show his dazzling brilliance to the world, Wang Hong and the two also returned to the cave, followed by Wang Niu who carried the wild roe deer, and after a while the two raised a bonfire, and hung the cleaned roe deer meat on the bonfire. Soon the smell of meat dispersed everywhere, and the seducer was greedy, and the two touched their hungry bellies, and the two of them swallowed regardless of Sven's gobbling, and from time to time their mouths made indistinct sounds, and they didn't know what they were messing with. In the blink of an eye, a roe deer weighing more than ten pounds was wiped out by the two. After packing up their things, the two set out on the journey back.

After a few days, the two returned to the medicine gang station, and buried the selected medicinal materials in a hidden, dry place, and there were not a few days left before the medicine gang assessment time. The people who went out to collect medicine have also come back one after another, and some of them who have not come back may never see each other!
