After listening, a lot of expressions flashed on Ju Zongming's face, some were surprised, some were puzzled, seeing this, Tang Jin hurriedly asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"Are you saying that the young man named Zhou Bo used an unknown cyan flame to help you fuse the pill with one hand, and the refined medicinal liquid glowed with yellow light in the crystal jade bottle?" The puzzled expressions on Ju Zongming's face disappeared, and he became extremely serious at this time.

Tang Jin nodded, she suddenly thought of something at this time, and hurriedly said, "By the way, his master is a very old man!"

"Old man?" Ju Zongming quickly searched in his mind, but after a long time, he couldn't think of such a master-apprentice combination of old and young.

"Master, do you know them?" Tang Jin asked in a low voice when he saw that Master didn't speak.

Ju Zongming slowly came back to his senses, he shook his head slowly at Tang Jin, and said, "I didn't plan to let you take the Dan card, I just didn't want you to care about these fame and fortune, and I wanted you to cultivate with peace of mind." As he spoke, he looked down at the white Dan card in his hand again, and muttered: "However, since you can meet such a noble person to help you by chance, it can be regarded as your fate." ”

"Master, what are you talking about??" Tang Jin asked with a confused face, he didn't understand what was wrong with Master, these words were not like his previous style!

Seeing Tang Jin's confused expression, Ju Zongming smiled slightly, and said: "My teacher's cultivation is stagnant now, because I only knew how to concentrate on cultivation in the past, so I lost many opportunities for noble people to help each other!" After speaking, Ju Zongming seemed to recall the sad past, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "I don't want these things to happen to you now, if it is possible, I hope you go out for a walk and travel more in this world, which is also good for your cultivation!"

As soon as he heard this, Tang Jin thought that Ju Zongming was driving him away, and his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a crying voice: "Master, I won't leave! I don't want to leave you!!"

"Huh?" Ju Zongming saw Tang Jin's expression, he looked slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Tang Jin, being a teacher is not to drive you away, what does it mean to be a teacher...... Oops...... Don't cry!!"

After a while, Ju Zongming finally coaxed Tang Jin well, only to see him sigh slightly, and then said: "Tang Jin, being a teacher is not to let you go, but just to let you see the outside world." ”

"That'...... What does that mean?" Tang Jin asked in a deep nasal voice, still crying.

"Do you know about the Medicine Refining Competition?" Ju Zongming raised his eyes and asked lightly.

"I know!" Tang Jin's voice returned to normal a little, and then she was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "Does Master want me to participate in the Medicine Refining Competition???

"Hehe, that's good. Ju Zongming said with a smile.

"But...... But......" Tang Jin looked a little nervous, and asked intermittently, "But...... I'm not good at it!?"

As if guessing what Tang Jin would want to say, Ju Zongming smiled faintly: "Isn't there still a year to go!"

"But ......" Tang Jin still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ju Zongming's outstretched hand, only to hear him say confidently: "Don't worry, one year is enough." ”

Seeing that Tang Jin was still very nervous, Ju Zongming said with a smile: "Being a teacher is not for you to win the championship, but just to let you broaden your horizons in the competition, and that young man named Zhou Bo may also participate." ”

Without waiting for Tang Jin to speak, Ju Zongming continued: "Chance is very important for every cultivator, since this Zhou Bo helped you yesterday, then it must have a fate with you." After speaking, Ju Zongming looked at Tang Jin with a smile, and said in a soft tone: "Participating in the medicine refining competition this time is a kind of training for you, and I also hope that you can find that Zhou Bo." ”

"Is he going too?" Tang Jin thought silently in his heart.

Zhou Bo and Guo Lao stayed on the back of the West Dragon Beast for three days, watching the sun, moon and stars change back and forth above their heads, Zhou Bo complained slightly in his heart, why is this West Dragon Beast not as fast as the Nine Heavenly Clouds, the last time he sat on the Nine Heavenly Clouds, it was only a dozen hours to reach the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley, but now that three days have passed, the shadow of the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley is still not seen.

Zhou Bo didn't choose to ask Qinglong, it's not that he wasn't curious, it's just that since he and Guo Lao came out of Zihan City, he felt that the spiritual power in his body was slightly passing away, and he knew that this was exactly what Qinglong was absorbing his spiritual power to cultivate, and he didn't want to disturb Qinglong, and this was exactly the reason.

"Guo Lao, how long will it take to arrive?" Zhou Bo finally felt uncomfortable, so he asked Guo Lao, who was sitting in front of him.

He found that Guo Lao hadn't spoken much in the past few days, just sitting behind the neck of the West Dragon Beast, watching the scenery along the way, the expression on his face was also very soft, looking like a lonely old man, Zhou Bo thought to himself, it was the scenery along the way that made him feel emotional, because this melancholy expression could not be pretended.

After hearing Zhou Bo's words, Guo Lao slowly turned around, smiled slightly, and said, "Hehe, are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that Guo Lao's face looked even more haggard because of the long journey, and the smile he showed at this time was also very reluctant, Zhou Bo said a little embarrassed: "Hehe, I'll just ask." ”

"Huh. Guo Lao squeezed out a reluctant smile again, took a deep breath and said, "Further ahead is the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley, and when you get there, the Eight Flame Mountains will not be far away." ”

No wonder Zhou Bo felt that the scene near here was familiar, it turned out that he was about to arrive at the swamp forest valley, and when he heard Guo Lao say this, he still seemed to smell a corpse gas, this corpse Qi Zhou Bo had smelled it for a year, and now he smelled it again, and there was a sense of cordial familiarity.

At this time, Guo Lao seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly opened his storage ring, searched it for a while, and then took out a white pill and handed it to Zhou Bo: "This is Ning Xin Pill, the corpse qi in the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley in front is too heavy, eating it will keep you awake." ”

Of course Zhou Bo recognized this Ning Xin Pill, when he was cultivating in the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley before, he would eat a Ning Xin Pill first at dawn every day, so that he ate too much, and later he formed an immunity to corpse qi, and now ordinary corpse qi could not affect Zhou Bo's mind at all.

But in order to keep a low profile, Zhou Bo still took the pill handed by Guo Lao, but he didn't eat it immediately, but asked, "Guo Lao, why don't you take Ning Xin Dan?" As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the pill in his hand back.

Guo Lao didn't see Zhou Bo's movements, but replied self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, I'm about to become a dry corpse, how can I be afraid of corpses??" Hearing this, Zhou Bo smiled awkwardly, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart, why don't you always open which pot to mention!

At this moment, Zhou Bo found that the corpse qi floating around the tip of his nose was getting stronger and stronger, so he hurriedly lowered his head and looked, and found that a stream of yellow corpse qi was floating directly below him, and the corpse qi completely blocked Zhou Bo's vision, and he could only see a little red light, but although Zhou Bo couldn't see what was below, he knew in his heart that the red mangs were all crazy beasts!

"This swamp abyss forest valley can be said to be a 10,000-bone corpse mound, and the corpse qi inside has been fermented for thousands of years, and it is unimaginably rich. When Guo Lao said this, he looked at Zhou Bo again, and saw that he had a good complexion, thinking that he had eaten Ning Xin Dan, so he continued: "There are countless fierce beasts living here, because they have absorbed corpse qi for a long time, so they are all very manic, if anyone accidentally strays into this forest, they must be more than lucky." ”

Zhou Bo knew all these things, so he just nodded and didn't answer, and Guo Lao seemed to be very interested here, and said: "Because there are many crazy beasts in the Swamp Abyss Forest Valley, there are some beast masters who like to go there to cultivate, and there are also some hunters who are not afraid of death who want to hunt for treasures inside. ”

Hearing the Beast Master, Zhou Bo suddenly became interested and asked, "Why does the Beast Master want to come here?" Hearing this, Guo Lao explained with a smile: "Because the beasts in this are very powerful, ordinary first-level beasts are equivalent to the strength of the second-level beasts outside, so many beast masters come here to cultivate, and they can quickly improve their strength." ”

Thinking that Qinglong also said the same, Zhou Bo slowly thought in his heart, Qinglong also said the same, after a year of cultivation, he can already control the second-level fierce beast king here, that is to say, he can almost control the fourth-level fierce beast outside, thinking of this, Zhou Bo was suddenly ecstatic, he didn't expect that in a year, he had become so powerful.

At this time, Zhou Bo found that the corpse qi in the air had become lighter and lighter, and the white clouds and the earth had gradually appeared, and he knew that the way forward was a place that he had never been to before, and it should be a completely unfamiliar place to him.

After flying like this for a long time, it was noon now, and he no longer believed in Guo Lao's words, what would he arrive there immediately after arriving in the swamp abyss forest valley?

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Guo Lao quickly turn his head and said happily: "It's here, it's in front." ”

Zhou Bo was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Eight Flame Mountains would be there, and he had just finished complaining.

Quickly looked ahead, and found that a large cloud of bright red light flashed not far away, only to see that the continuous peaks looked extremely majestic, endless, not only that, Zhou Bo also found that it was getting hotter and hotter here, making beads of sweat appear on his face, but even so, Zhou Bo was also very happy, because he knew that the front was the destination of this trip, the Eight Flame Mountains.

"The temperature here is very high, you hurry up and protect your body and spirit embryo with your spiritual power to prevent the poison of the fire. Guo Lao looked at Zhou Bo and said.

Hearing the fire poison, Zhou Bo was suddenly startled, where did he think that there would be fire poison here, he hurriedly urged the spiritual power from his body, and then quickly protected the spirit embryo, feeling the familiar green fire, Zhou Bo only felt extremely comfortable, this kind of flame is his own origin spiritual power after all, and it is completely different from the domineering heat.

"Senior, will we go now?" Zhou Bo was slightly excited, the three- or four-day journey could finally end, and what was waiting for him was the special training to improve his cultivation, which made it difficult for Zhou Bo not to be excited.

But Guo Lao smiled slowly: "Before that, we still have to buy something." With that, he drove the Western Dragon Beast to fly down.

With the rapid descent of the Western Dragon Beast, Zhou Bo found that there were not mountains and rivers under him, but relatively low hills, the real peaks were still in front, looking at the red peaks in front of him, like sword cones shot out of the ground, huge and scattered underground, each mountain peak was born on the ground like an optimus pillar, extremely majestic, if he hadn't told him that it was the Eight Flame Mountains, Zhou Bo would really treat it as another world.

When the Western Dragon Beast got closer, Zhou Bo and Guo Lao jumped down from it.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhou Bo's feet suddenly felt an unbearable heat, and this heat seemed to be alive, quickly swept along the meridians throughout the body, and he was about to come to the place of the spirit embryo, which made him startled, and hurriedly sacrificed his spiritual power to resist the feeling of heat and dryness.

Qinglong's flame is not an ordinary thing after all, and as soon as it is urged, it controls the heat, but even so, Zhou Bo's whole body seems to have more than a dozen suns around him, but after a while, Zhou Bo's whole body has been wet with sweat, and his face is pale, looking like he has suffered a serious illness.

At this time, it was noon, Zhou Bo thought that it should be hot, looked up, and found that the huge sun was hanging directly above, and the dazzling sunlight shone into Zhou Bo's eyes, which made him feel a little dizzy, which made him startled, you must know that since Xiuzhen, he has never been sick, and there is no vertigo or anything, so this time the sudden dizziness made him a little unbearable.

"You have to be careful, there is a fire hidden in the ground, and if you don't do everything in your power to protect yourself, your life will be in danger. After seeing Zhou Bo's face with sweat the size of a bean and his face a little pale, Guo Lao said with concern.

After listening to Guo Lao's words, Zhou Bo was really a little incredulous, thinking to himself how could this earth fire be buried underground!?

Looking at the bare mountains and continuous mountains in front of him, Zhou Bo had long lost his excitement at the beginning, and he was also sweating for himself in his heart, thinking that this year's practice would start here, could he really hold on? ?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Bo saw Guo Lao turn his head and walk forward slowly, he was surprised to notice that Guo Lao had nothing to do, not only did he not sweat on his body, his face was also very normal, and he walked unhurriedly under his feet, as if it was no different from usual.

Shaking his head, Zhou Bo put these thoughts away and hurriedly kept up with Guo Lao's pace, he was not familiar with life here, if he was really lost, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out alive, who would know where a fire suddenly appeared, and it was estimated that the domineering power would be able to roast itself in an instant.

As Guo Lao walked forward slowly, Zhou Bo was also carefully observing the surrounding scenery, he found that there was really no grass here, there were red rocks everywhere, and everywhere he saw was either the whole rock standing there, with strange shapes, and he thought it was a fierce beast from a distance! Or there were many small broken stones scattered on the ground, as if torn apart by some huge force, in short, along the way, Zhou Bo could see nothing but stones, but still stones.

"Guo Lao, where is the town you are talking about??" Zhou Bo now knows that Guo Lao is going to a small town to buy things, but as far as he has seen along the way, how can this be like a place with a small town, think about it, who would build a small town in such a barren place, not only without trees, grass and water sources, but just such a high temperature, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
