CHAPTER XXIV

Since he started alchemy, Zou Li's days have become regular. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info goes up the mountain to collect medicine once every three months, and the rest of the time is alchemy except for practice. Then use the money obtained in exchange for alchemy to buy medicinal materials, and the insufficient part is supplemented with the silver taels provided by the family. More than a year has passed.

In more than a year, Zou Li's harvest is huge, first of all: under the action of a spirit stone, Zou Li's iron bone skill has entered the seventh layer, and the health sutra has entered the middle of the eighth layer. Secondly: the level of alchemy can finally be preserved.

However, he was not happy, all these pills were of no use to him, and the spirit stone he longed for the most, he went to Crouching Tiger Town more than a dozen times and did not see a piece. The first-grade elixir used to refine the Qi Induction Pill did not harvest a single plant, which was of course related to the fact that he did not enter the central area.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, but the central area is too terrifying, and he wants to wait for his cultivation to be a little higher, at least he has the power to protect himself.

However, when he saw the last spirit stone in his hand, he decided that he still had to take an adventure, as the saying goes: wealth is sought in danger. After tasting the speed of cultivating with spirit stones and qi induction pills, he could no longer bear the feeling of cultivating this turtle crawling in front of him.

Spirit stones are hard to find, but there are traces of Qi Extraction Pill, as long as he is willing to take risks, he feels that he will definitely be able to pick a first-grade elixir for refining Qi Extraction Pill. He decided to go tomorrow.

With the seventh layer of his iron bone skill, it is equivalent to the initial cultivation of the martial sect, if he registers in the gang, not only does he not have to pay for medicinal materials, but he also has one hundred taels of silver per month. If you are willing to go to a certain county or town under the jurisdiction of the gang, you will earn more.

Zou Li didn't want to register, he entered the Martial Sect before the age of twenty, and the Crouching Tiger Gang was not nothing, and even eighteen people who entered the Martial Sect. It's just that in this way, it will attract attention, and even people outside the gang will pay attention to you. This is not what Zou Li wants.

The more you practice, the more difficult it becomes, and three months ago, Zou Li entered the seventh layer of the Iron Bone Gong, which is equivalent to the Martial Sect. The health sutra has entered the middle stage of the eighth layer of qi induction.

But in the past three months, his cultivation speed can be said to be slower than that of a turtle, which is really unbearable for him.

By summing up his training experience, he felt that the effect of practicing in the mountains was better than that in the gang. At the same time, after the Iron Bone Gong entered the seventh layer, its strength increased greatly. He felt that with the Health Sutra and the Seven Layers of Iron Bone Gong, as long as he either encountered an innate master, he would be able to defeat or escape in the later stage of the Martial Sect.

Go up the mountain and go to the central area of Qin Mang Mountain to pick elixirs and refine Qi Inducing Pills, this idea is getting stronger and stronger in his heart. All worries were put behind him.

In order to have enough time to practice, he applied to the gang to hand in the task once every six months. Bring all your belongings: including the remaining half of the spirit stone, as well as the two brocade bags you got last time, a small shield, and a flying sword. With the medicine basket on his back, he entered the Qinmang Mountains again, close to the central area. He was going to try his luck.

No risk, no gain. Very risky, very rewarding. At the edge of the central area, Zou Li carefully spent half a month, and the harvest was not bad, no, just now he put the picked one-grade elixir into the jade box and put it into the medicinal herb.

Zou Li stretched his waist and let out a long breath. This harvest is not bad, in half a month, five plants were picked, and it is a little short of two furnaces.

He wandered around the edge of the central area, and several times he ran into other herb pickers, but he was careful to avoid them, and once he even encountered a demon beast.

Since entering the eighth layer of the Health Sutra, his senses were much stronger than before

怂 At that time, he was looking for the elixir everywhere, and suddenly his eyes jumped: "Second-grade elixir, purple dew." "This is the only second-grade elixir on the Cleansing Pill Pill in the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials that he first obtained, and the other auxiliaries are all first-grade. He had long thought that he had it in his heart, but he didn't expect to come across it here, which can be described as an unexpected joy.

The second-grade elixir can be said to be priceless, and when he was about to pick it, suddenly the pores of his sweat exploded, and he hurriedly stopped, and took a closer look, there was a mouse-like demon beast next to the elixir.

This was the first time he had seen the monster up close, and the last time he saw the eagle eagle was far away. I saw that this demon beast was much larger than an ordinary mouse, and its eyes were glowing with a cold light.

The demon beast only glanced at him slightly, with a hint of disdain in its eyes.

The first time he saw the expressionless eyes of the demon beast, his heart was shocked, he knew that he was not an opponent, and the other party did not bother to make a move, people had self-knowledge, and left quietly.

He had planned to pick a few more plants and find a place to open a furnace for alchemy. For the next few days, as if his luck had run out, he picked nothing.

And just now, he found a small tree, this little tree is not tall, less than three feet, the leaves are heart-shaped, green, the trunk is all golden, in the middle of the few leaves at the end of the branch grows a fruit, the color of the fruit is purple and red, and each fruit shows a halo on it.

Zou Li counted carefully, a total of seven.

As soon as he saw it, his heart was pounding, if he remembered correctly, this was a second-grade high-grade elixir: Purple Plant Fruit. According to the records of the predecessors, the purple plant fruit is one of the elixirs that break through the ninth layer of the Iron Bone Gong. It is the main medicine for refining the barrier-breaking pill that breaks through the ninth layer of the Iron Bone Gong.

According to the elixir atlas, it takes 15 years to bloom and 15 years to bear fruit, and it takes 30 years from flowering to maturity. Now the surface of the fruit is purple and red, which is a sign that the purple fruit is about to ripen.

Another characteristic of this fruit tree is that it can bear fruit repeatedly and ripen in batches, with a difference of less than a month. This kind of fruit is a good medicine for physical training, if he can get him, breaking through the ninth layer, it is not a dream.

The reason why he was entangled was because under the tree, there was a big snake thicker than the mouth of the bowl, and according to his feelings, the strength of this big snake was not worse than the strength of the demon beast he encountered a few days ago. He can not want that elixir, but this spirit fruit must be obtained, which is the guarantee that his iron bone skill will enter the innate state.

After a few days of observation, he noticed an interesting thing, every two days a large eagle eagle came to fight it. He wasn't sure if the eagle was the one he had seen before. At this time, the other party obviously didn't take him seriously, and Zou Li also wanted to take advantage of this, and when the battle between the eagle and snake reached a fever pitch, he would take the opportunity to pick one.

As long as there is one, he has a great hope of entering the congenital. Because every time the eagle and the snake fight, after the eagle flies away, the snake will fall into a deep sleep, and he wants to take advantage of this time.

As the fruit ripens, the eagle and the snake fight more and more fiercely. The eagle was eventually defeated by the serpent, leaving behind a few eagle feathers and flying away again with a few scars. The snake also wilted a lot after the fierce fight just now, glanced at the purple vermilion fruit, and then glanced at the place where Zou Li was hiding, dragging the wounds all over his body back to the nearby cave.

Right now, Zou Li gritted his teeth and immediately rushed towards the spirit fruit, and when he saw that he was at the edge of the spirit fruit tree, he saw a black shadow flying in, Zou Li couldn't dodge it, and was drawn at once.

With a 'bang', Zou Li felt like a cloud flying up like a mist, and then fell into a deep stream.

However, the spirit fruit tree was growing on the edge of a cliff. Zou Li panicked, and only had one thought: Is he going to die here today?

No, an obsession rose in my heart.

Immediately after, Zou Li tried to reverse the speed of the fall, trying his best to grab everything he could. But everything was in vain, until a shock bounced him up and threw him down, so painful that Zou Li was almost unconscious, and when he opened his eyes, he fell on a tree.

The tree was extremely huge, and the huge branches stretched out very long, which saved his life.

Zou Li endured the pain and stood up, looked around, it turned out that the tree grew in the stone crevice in the cliff, and when he looked down, it was still more than 20 zhang from the ground, so he was relieved.

With his ability, more than 20 zhang is not a big problem, and he checked himself well, the huge pain in his back, and when he touched his backhand, a blood mark was the thickness of a wine bell, as if it was swollen like a hillock, and his hands were injured by sharp stones, branches, and vines under his strong desire to survive, and the bones were faintly visible.

However, the good lottery can be regarded as picking up a life, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

Tie your hands together and climb down the tree. On the cliff at the base of the tree, I saw a platform that looked like it had been cut by hand.

"Huh" Zou Li was surprised, could anyone have been here?

Zou Li carefully went up to the platform, checked carefully, found no other traces, turned to look at the mountain wall at the platform, and saw that the mountain wall was crawling with vines, and with a flick of his hand, the mountain wall was black. Gently touching it with his hand, Zou Li was shocked that his hand had penetrated!

The heart moved, and then the whole body disappeared.

Suddenly, Zou Li came to a cave, the hole is not big, at most six zhang square, and there are many white balls that emit luminescence on the top of the cave, which illuminates the whole cave as if it were day.

And that's not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is that there is a stone table in the center of the cave, and behind it sits a person.

Zou Li didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Forgive me, senior, because the kid was injured by the demon beast, he shot down the cliff, and mistakenly broke into the senior's cave, disturbing the senior, and the kid quit." As he spoke, Zou Li slowly retreated.

When I got to the entrance of the cave, I didn't see any indication from my predecessors. Zou Li was suspicious in his heart, stopped, observed carefully, and found that the senior sitting in the center had a withered face, and although the robe was spotless, there was no trace of anger at all.

Looking closely at the stone table in front of the predecessor, I saw that there were two objects on the table: one was a square box, and the other was a round stone ball-shaped object.

"Could it be that this senior has already -----怂 Zou Li thought to himself.
