Chapter 8 Black Pine Valley
It was almost dusk, and the clouds in the sky were like flames, blooming red and golden light on the west horizon. The crimson sun slowly descended from behind the distant mountains. Every minute the scenery dropped, the scenery was another charm.
"Get in, the city lord is inside."
Ye Xuan raised his steps and walked into the courtyard, his vision suddenly became clear.
The dark brown simple corridor in the courtyard is winding and quiet, and most of the trees planted are evergreen. A small flower pops up from time to time in the fan-shaped windows of the corridor, not like the richness of peonies or the gorgeousness of roses, but a plain beauty.
In the pavilion not far away, there was a stone table and three stone benches, with tea sets on the table. A gentle face but revealing that the pale and weak person was sitting inside to taste tea.
"Released the mission: Restore the loss of blood and blood for the city lord of Jinyang!"
"Task Reward: 100 Merit Points."
Hum? Mission? Why are there no exercises or something?
Ye Xuan was speechless, but there were so many merit points, and he was not unhappy at all.
Make a lot of money!
Ye Xuan slowly walked into the pavilion, bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and said, "Baby Ye Xuan, I have met the city lord."
"Young at a young age, calm breath... Not bad." The middle-aged man nodded, as if he agreed with Ye Xuan very much.
Joke! I have read online articles for so many years after saying that, and this person has to rely on me to help him recover later. No matter how I say that, I can't be timid!
Ye Xuan thought in his mind, but did not immediately ask for helping the middle-aged people recover. After all, this would seem very deliberate.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but there was a pale look in it. He said to Ye Xuan: "Boy Ye, do you need to join the sect?"
Ye Xuan paused for a moment and said, "To be honest, I hope the city lord can introduce me to the sect above."
"Okay, in a month, the sect will be evaluated. I will send you to the sect at that time." The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan with a smile.
ah?
So that's what it means to agree?
Why is it different from the difficulties in the novel?
Ye Xuan was a little stunned and immediately thanked: "Baby Ye Xuan, thank the city lord!" He paused and continued: "But, I don't understand, you agreed?"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "You must know that the core of a sect is human power in addition to its foundation. There are enough human power to grow. There are a few people who can practice Taoism in this continent. I will introduce you to the sect, which can be considered as strengthening human power for the sect? The sect will also give great benefits to the city, which is to help you and make me cheaper. Why not do it? As for whether you can pass the assessment, it depends on your ability."
"So that's it. There is another thing, that is, you may be a little uncomfortable. I wonder if you can let the boy see it?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and his expression changed slightly: "Oh? Then do you see why I feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Xuan said: "It's all inseparable from the word qi and blood!"
The middle-aged man was shocked and his face was indeed pale, but it was extremely difficult to see that the loss of qi and blood was caused by the damage, because it was the root cause. The boy in front of him saw the cause of the disease in just a few glances. It seemed that it was not simple.
"Oh? Although I don't understand medical principles, I at least know that qi and blood are recovered by the human body. If it reaches the point where qi and blood are seriously damaged, it will be a special reason that causes the vitality in the body to pass away, and restoring qi and blood is nonsense. I wonder how you want to help me?"
Although the middle-aged man was amazed that Ye Xuan saw the cause of the disease at a glance, he knew his own situation best. However, he did hope that he could improve, so he did not refuse immediately, but asked for the doubts in his heart.
"Simple, use spiritual energy to accumulate damaged structures such as organs, meridians, etc. to attract the energy of heaven and earth to slowly restore it to life. When the vitality in the body is restored, it will be cured within a month." Ye Xuan answered with a firm face.
"The Qi of Heaven and Earth? Do you know what you are talking about?" The middle-aged man's face was extremely shocked. When he heard the four words "The Qi of Heaven and Earth", he suddenly stood up.
...
"Well...then let you give it a try." The middle-aged man slowly calmed down his excitement and said slowly.
Uh...so exaggerated?
As the energy of heaven and earth entered the middle-aged man's body, he felt an extremely pure aura in his body repairing the damage. Although it was fast, it was extremely stable.
As time passed, sweat fell on Ye Xuan's forehead and stopped the movement in his hand and said, "City Lord, in three more times, the damage can be completely repaired."
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan with appreciation: "Haha, don't worry, there is still one month left. You can stay in my mansion during this period."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Boy thanked the city lord."
"By the way, my name is Jin Xiuzhu. You can call me Uncle Jin, Boy Ye, go." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle Jin!"
Ye Xuan followed the guard to an empty courtyard. Although the courtyard was not big, it was fully equipped.
"You can stay here first. There will be a maid later. Mr. Ye will give instructions if you need anything."
"good!"
Tsk, so thoughtful!
If possible, I really want to stay here!
However, I am not a person here after all, and I still can't rest assured that my family...
In just three days, Ye Xuan healed Jin Xiuzhu's damage and successfully completed the task and got a hundred merit points. As for how long it takes for Jin Xiuzhu to recover completely, it depends on him.
During these three days, Ye Xuan eliminated the time to heal Jin Xiuzhu, and whenever the rest of the body was free, he was immersed in cultivation, and he also broke through to the late stage of the tenth level of Qi Refining Realm.
"Although I only have some time to practice for three days, the speed is indeed much slower!"
Ye Xuan sighed in his heart.
In a month, it would be much slower if you rely solely on simple cultivation. After Ye Xuan learned the primary alchemy, he knew clearly the gains brought by various elixirs.
Therefore, he had already asked Jin Xiuzhu many questions. After learning about the general situation, he had determined where he would go to practice in this month.
That is, a place called Black Pine Valley.
The Black Song Valley is fifty miles away from Jinyang City, not far away. Only black pine wood is grown in the valley, so it is named. The monsters inside are generally of low level, and most of them live in the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Building Realm. It is very suitable for Ye Xuan to accumulate practical experience. If he can collect some herbs and refine them into pills for sale, he can also make some money.
In one day, Ye Xuan came to the entrance of Hei Song Valley.
There is no such thing as the peaks as you imagine, but the terrain is slowly descending. In the distance, a dark pine forest is like a black ocean, and even the sunshine is difficult to shine in.
From time to time, a few roars of wild beasts came from deep into the forest, causing a wave of dying.
Hiss, it’s a bit scary. TV series like this is rare. Damn!
Although it was intimidating, Ye Xuan quickly calmed down and slowly entered the valley along the road beneath his feet.
The black pine forest gradually filled Ye Xuan's vision, constantly stimulating his heart. Apart from the black pine trees, he could not see the second kind of scenery.
"Damn, how can I calm down like this?"
There was silence all around, and Ye Xuan's heart was always filled with a hint of fear.
From time to time, he could see traces of sharp claws on the trunks around him. This was obviously left by some monster. He stepped on thick pine needles under his feet, and every step he took was accompanied by a rustling sound.
Haha, it's really a good place to train your courage...
“Swishy…”
There was a disharmonious voice suddenly in the distance. It was obvious that this was not from Ye Xuan's feet.
"Hiss, is there a monster coming so soon!"
Ye Xuan looked in the direction where the sound came, but saw nothing suspicious.
"Swishy..." The sound kept coming, and gradually, Ye Xuan could no longer tell which side of the sound came from.
The atmosphere had become dangerous, and beans of sweat slowly slid down Ye Xuan's forehead. He held his hands tightly, his eyes swept around, and the spiritual power rolling in his body was ready to go.
“Swishy…”
Ye Xuan's mental power was highly concentrated. Suddenly, he felt a trace of air conditioning coming from behind his head, and he instantly stepped out of the thunder. As the lightning flashed, his body had appeared on the other side.
"Bang!"
At its original location, a pine tree was cut off from the waist and fell heavily to the ground, lifting up countless pine needles and dust.
Ye Xuan looked at the falling pine wood, his heart pounding, and the blow made him feel scared.
If my body skills were not against the will of heaven enough, and could be activated instantly and widened the distance, even if I were a cultivator who was a few small realms higher than me, I would probably have to fall here...
"Looking at the aura emitted by this monster is still above me, has it been established? "
