The sun has climbed past the peak and is beginning to set.

Zhong Wen returned to the room under the leadership of Xiao Lori, and the smoke rose from the corner of the west side of the courtyard, which was the sister-in-law preparing dinner.

The ingredients of the Floating Flower Palace are all grown by the farmers under the mountain, which are pure natural and pollution-free, and the taste is very good, but Zhong Wen looked at the smoke in the distance, but he couldn't have a little appetite.

Because, there is no salt in this world.

People make seasoning dishes and like to use the juice squeezed out of a plant called "descending herbs".

Although the food processed with this sauce is fragrant, the taste is very light, and the slight saltiness is almost unnoticeable if you don't taste it.

When he ate it for the first time, Zhong Wen was able to enjoy the "taste of the food itself".

Two days later, Zhong Wen, who claimed to be a gourmand in his previous life, felt loveless when he saw Sister-in-law's food.

It can be seen that this "gourmet" is not very authentic.

If he was by the sea, he would have to burn some coarse salt to satisfy his hunger, but the Floating Flower Palace was built on the mountain, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"Liu Qiqi, come out and compete!"

Zhong Wen hurriedly looked out, and a slender figure appeared at the gate of the compound.

What came in was a girl of the same age as Liu Qiqi, dressed in an emerald green suit, a red cloak, very beautiful, with slightly frowning eyebrows and a mighty face.

"If your subordinates are defeated, why bother to humiliate themselves. ”

Hearing the sound of challenge, Liu Qiqi's figure soon appeared in the courtyard.

"Last time, I wasn't proficient in sword skills, but now I'm a little successful, and I'll learn your 'Light Splitting Sword Technique' again!" The voice of the girl in green was crisp, revealing a hearty energy.

"Since you have sent it to the door yourself, I will fulfill you and give you a defeat!"

The two maidens, one with a long sword and the other with a lancet, "jingle bell" together.

Although he felt that the lines of the two girls were a bit secondary, Zhong Wen was still very interested in the battle of cultivators.

Who doesn't have a martial arts dream?

Liu Qiqi's swordsmanship is light and agile, and his shooting speed is extremely fast, and the long sword in his hand conjures up two sword shadows from time to time, and the "splitting light sword technique" must be named after this.

A lancet in the palm of the green-clothed girl guards the middle palace, fighting steadily, occasionally taking the time to cut out, often forcing Liu Qiqi back two meters.

The two of them raised their hands and feet to make a sound of breaking the air, and they could often jump up three or four meters high with a stomp, which made Zhong Wen amazed by both strength and speed.

It's just that the skill moves are not very clever in Lu Li's eyes.

In the opinion of Zhong Wen, who has learned the entire "One Yang Finger", whether it is Liu Qiqi's swordsmanship or the swordsmanship of the girl in green, they are all mediocre.

The hundreds of pages thick "One Yang Finger" not only contained the luck method of this spiritual skill, but also listed various moves and actual combat skills in detail, and he felt that any examples in it were far more subtle than the moves of the two girls in front of him.

Of course, at this time, Zhong Wen had not practiced any spiritual power exercises, and even if he had a thousand kinds of mastery in his mind, he was just an empty shelf, at best, he was a strong king.

Even so, it is still a very enjoyable thing to watch two stunning beauties fight.

Fighting, Liu Qiqi gradually gained the upper hand, and the girl in green retreated step by step, looking a little weak.

Suddenly, the girl in green stumbled under her feet, Liu Qiqi looked at the opportunity, her wrist trembled, and the long sword in her hand turned into three sword lights, and when the girl in green stabilized her figure, Liu Qiqi's long sword had stopped only an inch away from her throat.

"You lost. Liu Qiqi held his sword and said coolly.

"Have you been promoted??" The girl in green panted a little urgently, her chest kept rising and falling, and her eyes showed unwillingness.

"Yes, I already cleared the eighth human wheel last month. Liu Qiqi pretended to be indifferent, but he couldn't hide his smugness.

"No wonder the spiritual power lasts much longer than I do. The girl in green showed a sudden look, "I lost today, and when I break through the eighth layer of the human wheel, I will come to you to compete." ”

Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Miss Zheng, it's getting dark, it's too dangerous for you to go down the mountain alone, so let's stay on the mountain for one night before leaving." Sister-in-law Wang said loudly.

"This ......" The girl in green looked up at the sun that was about to set, and then turned her head to look at Liu Qiqi, a little hesitant.

"Don't go back today, we'll talk again in the evening. Liu Qiqi said.

The girl in green was also generous and nodded.

"Now that we're here, let's dine in the lobby and call Miss Three and Fluttershy, who haven't eaten together for days. "Sister-in-law Wang has been widowed for a long time, and she is also a lively person.

"Sister-in-law Wang, and Zhong Wen. Lin Xiaodie shouted.

Sister-in-law Wang's expression froze when she heard this, and she looked at Liu Qiqi, Zhong Wen's meals were sent by Fluttershy in the past two days, and she saw me for the first time, so naturally she would not have any opinions on Zhong Wen, but the Floating Flower Palace has always only had women, and she suddenly called a man to dine with a few girls, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

After all, Zhong Wen had an old soul in his body, and he could see the difficulties of his sister-in-law at a glance, and was about to excuse himself, but Liu Qiqi nodded and agreed.

"Bell... Sir, let's have dinner together in the evening?" Sister-in-law Wang's attitude immediately changed.

Zhong Wen smiled and nodded, there was no dissatisfaction with Sister-in-law Wang's attitude.

It was not a parent, but the Floating Flower Palace saved his life, and he was given food and shelter for the past two days, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

At this time, the girl in green also noticed Zhong Wen, her expression was very surprised, and she ran to Liu Qiqi and bit her ear, as if asking why there was a man in the Floating Flower Palace.

The two of them chattered for a while, and the girl in green looked at Lu Li's eyes again, and sure enough, there was a trace of sympathy.

Oh, woman, I don't need your mercy!

Zhong Wen thought angrily, feeling very shameless.

The dinner was as light as ever, Zhong Wen could only take a look at the beauty impatiently, eat a bite of food, and rely on visual enjoyment to make up for the lack of taste.

At the dinner table, Liu Qiqi and the girl in green chatted happily, Yin Ning'er, who was the goddess of coldness, would interject from time to time, and Lin Xiaodie couldn't stop like a bird.

It can be seen that although the girl in green often challenges Liu Qiqi, the relationship between the two is very good, similar to best friends.

As the only man, Zhong Wen couldn't interject at all, so he could only silently appreciate the unpalatable food on the side, and strive to improve his perception of the world by capturing the information in his words.

The girl in green is named Zheng Yueting, and she is the daughter of Zheng Gongming, the master of the Golden Dao Gate of Fufeng City.

If you ride a unicorn at full speed from the village below the mountain, you can reach Fufeng City in about an hour, and in this world where transportation is not developed, the Golden Dao Gate is the closest cultivator sect to the Floating Flower Palace, and the two sides have to deal with each other.

After an accidental exchange, Zheng Yueting regarded Liu Qiqi as a lifelong rival, whenever she made progress in cultivation, she must try to find her, and after going back and forth, the two gradually became friends, saying cruel words on their lips, but they regarded each other as friends in their hearts.

"Mr. Zhong eats so little, is the food unappetizing?" Sister-in-law Wang saw that Zhong Wen was ignored, so she kindly came over to talk.

"The food was good, but I had just recovered from my serious injuries and my appetite hadn't fully recovered. Zhong Wen said against his will, "By the way, sister-in-law Wang, I don't know how far away is the closest sea to the Floating Flower Palace?"

"Mr. Zhong, this is on the mountain. Sister-in-law Wang's eyes seemed to be looking at the mentally retarded, "And Nanjiang Province is inland, and it is thousands of miles away from the sea." ”

Zhong Wen depressedly nibbled on a mouthful of radish, which tasted the same as chewing wax.

"Zhong Wen, is there really a Dragon Palace in the sea, is there a wishful wish?" Xiao Lori heard the two discussing the sea, remembered the plot of Journey to the West, ran to Zhong Wen's side and pulled his clothes, and asked with great interest.

"I don't know if there is a dragon palace or not, but it seems that someone has told me that there are many magical creatures in the sea. Zhong Wen hugged the little Lori to his lap and gently stroked her head, "There is the fierce 'Sea Overlord' shark, its sense of smell is sensitive, it can smell injured people and animals from thousands of meters away, its teeth are extremely sharp, and it can bite anything, and there is a nine-foot whale, one of its eyes is bigger than Fluttershy, and it will spew out a column of water more than ten meters high on its head. ”

Little Lori exclaimed, and her mind was full of thoughts.

"There is a kind of monkfish in the deep sea, with a 'small lantern' that glows on its back, and it usually hides in the dark, luring small fish and shrimp over, and then swallowing it in one bite!" Zhong Wen likes the ocean very much, so he can't hold back the conversation, "There are all kinds of beautiful corals, white, red, black, densely packed in the blue water, which is more beautiful than any painting in the world, just like a fairyland." ”

"Wow, Zhong Wen knows a lot, if only I could go and see the sea. Little Lori's eyes blinked, looking at Zhong Wen with adoration, and her heart was infinitely fascinated.

"When my memory is restored, if your master agrees, I will take you to see the sea. Zhong Wen smiled again and touched the little Lori's head, the little Lori's hair was very soft and very comfortable to the touch, which made him a little.

I don't know when, Liu Qiqi, Yin Ning'er and Zheng Yueting's eyes were focused on Zhong Wen.

Cute little Lori,Sitting on the lap of a handsome young man,Listen to him talk about some interesting anecdotes,The young man narrated in a magnetic voice,There seems to be a kind of magic in the voice。

The whole scene was very warm, and the content of the teenager's speech was novel and interesting, and several girls listened to it a little fascinated for a while.

Supper had long since ended, but the crowd had been delayed for a long time before they dispersed.

Yin Ning'er dragged the reluctant Lin Xiaodie to do evening class, Liu Qiqi and Zheng Yueting ran to the courtyard to learn, Sister-in-law Wang went to clean up by herself, Zhong Wen had nothing to do, so she returned to the room and continued to copy "Mengxue".

After copying for more than an hour, his neck was a little sore, Zhong Wen stood up, stretched his waist, and paced around the room.

In the middle of doing nothing, he suddenly remembered another miscellaneous book that he had collected during the day, and his attention was on "One Yang Finger" at that time, and he didn't have time to look through it.

At this time, he immersed his mind on the bookshelf in his mind, and found the book "Chronicles of the Medicine King Valley", countless words flashed in front of his eyes, and after a while, the content of the book was remembered by him without hindrance.

This flip through made him take aback.

"The Chronicle of the Medicine King Valley" is actually a diary, and the owner of the log is the valley master of a famous cultivation sect "Medicine King Valley" in ancient times.

According to the book, this sect mainly focuses on the study of elixir, medicine, poison, alchemy, etc., and there are many medical masters and alchemists in the sect, so although the combat effectiveness is mediocre, it has a strong network in the cultivation world in ancient times.

After all, who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with a doctor?

According to the records in the book, the strength of the medical skills of this valley master of the Medicine King Valley has reached the level of life and death, flesh and bones, and can compete with the Lord of Yama, and the alchemy of another deputy valley master in the valley has also reached the point of reaching the peak, and he actually pushed himself to the realm of a half-step saint by taking pills.

Therefore, the Medicine King Valley had always been in a transcendent position in the cultivation world of the ancient period.

After all, it was a diary, and Zhong Wen wasn't sure if there was any boasting in it, and he didn't care much.

What shocked him was that the location of the Medicine King Valley was also mentioned in the log.

If I understand correctly, the Medicine King Valley is actually in the valley of this Qingfeng Mountain!

Ever since he discovered that the so-called "Ancient Divine Script" was a Chinese character, Zhong Wen had decided that there was some connection between this world and the world before he traveled through time.

From that moment on, he had a strong desire to explore the so-called "Ancient Age", a complex state of mind and a trace of the source of the soul.

Now, having discovered a clue to an ancient sect, he instantly had the urge to find out.

When they opened the door, Liu Qiqi and Zheng Yueting had already finished their discussion and went back to wash.

The courtyard was quiet, with occasional insect chirps, and the bright and soft moonlight seemed to put a thin veil on the compound.

Two steps outside, looking around, there was no light in the whole courtyard except for his room.

People in this era did not have much nightlife, and often went to bed before dawn, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhong Wen waited patiently for a moment, and after estimating that everyone in the Floating Flower Palace was asleep, he took the glowing stone from the lamp plate and learned from Fluttershy that it was called a spirit crystal.

Lingjing left the lamp plate, and soon it dimmed, Zhong Wen put Lingjing on the table, gently closed the door, tiptoed to the gate of the courtyard, pulled the latch, and quietly left the courtyard of the Floating Flower Palace.

The mountain was very cool on the summer night, and there was an occasional breeze, and after leaving the Floating Flower Palace for a distance, Zhong Wen's no longer restrained, and he pulled out his legs and ran.

In his previous life, he grew up in the countryside, there was a big mountain behind the village, the child was lively and active, and he had to climb the mountain every day, so he was no stranger to moving in the mountains, and he was very skilled in identifying the direction in the mountains.

Half an hour passed, Zhong Wen began to feel fatigued, although this body was young, but it had just recovered from serious injuries, and it had not cultivated spiritual power, so it could be regarded as weak.

Just as he was about to stop to catch his breath, he suddenly heard a beast roar in front of him.

"There are beasts!" Zhong Wen's face changed.

He suddenly realized his negligence, the various mountains he climbed in his previous life had long been "cleaned up" by the state, and there were rarely any fierce beasts, and he had forgotten that the mountains should have been the territory of wild beasts.

The roar was getting closer and closer, Zhong Wen immediately made a decision, used his hands and feet together, and quickly climbed a tree more than two meters high, his body curled up tightly, and his eyes looked down through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

After a while, a white tiger with a length of more than two meters slowly passed under the tree with leisurely steps.

What a big tiger!

Zhong Wen didn't dare to take a breath, only to feel a cold sweat in his palms, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

The giant white tiger didn't seem to notice the abnormality in the tree, but just walked on its own, and after a while, it disappeared from Zhong Wen's field of vision.

Zhong Wen only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he curled up on the tree for a long time before he slowly climbed down, reached out and touched his forehead, wet with sweat stains.

Determined, he continued to march towards the valley, this time, his movements became cautious, and his speed slowed down considerably, for fear of disturbing some mountain beast.

After another half an hour, he finally came to the entrance to the valley recorded in the journal.

After looking left and right, and making sure that there were no others, Zhong Wen came to a mountain wall.

The mountain walls here are bare, and there is no difference between them and the surroundings, anyone who looks at it at first glance will definitely feel that this road is impassable, and it is no wonder that the Floating Flower Palace has lived here for decades since the ancestors, and has never found anything unusual.

Zhong Wen stretched out his hands and groped inch by inch on the stone wall.

Suddenly, his right index finger slammed hard against the low part of the stone wall.

"Purr!"

The stone wall in front of him flipped inward like an automatic revolving door, Zhong Wen hurriedly dodged in with the direction of the stone wall's rotation, and disappeared behind the stone wall in an instant, and the overturned stone wall merged with the surrounding mountains and rocks again, as if nothing had happened......

"Has it come to this point?" Lin Zhiyun looked at the ledger in her hand, biting her lip and frowning.

"I don't know what the origin of this 'Divine Medicine Hall' is, but it is going to be opened opposite us, and the price of the medicinal materials sold is only half of our 'Qingfeng Pavilion', if this continues, we will close our doors in less than two months. Qiao Erniang said helplessly.

"What is the quality of their herbs?"

"I specially asked someone to investigate, although the quality is far inferior to the medicinal materials produced in our Qingfeng Mountain, it is also unsatisfactory, and ordinary people may not be able to distinguish clearly. ”

"In this way, the price of the medicinal materials of the 'Divine Medicine Hall' seems to be too low. ”

"That's right, even if the price is raised by two or three percent, it can definitely be operated, but it is shameless to run to fight a price war. Qiao Erniang said angrily, "Lin Palace Master, I'm afraid that the other side is coming at us, so we have to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"We don't steal or rob on the other side, we just sell it at a lower price, so we can't go to the door. Lin Zhiyun's brows furrowed even tighter.

She is not good at business, and the things that have not gone well have been one after another recently, which has made her a little anxious.

"Shall we do the same...... Price reduction?" Qiao Erniang asked tentatively.

"Erniang, you look at it, you can't bear it, just drop a little. Lin Zhiyun's tone was a little depressed, "As for the problem of insufficient funds, I will think of a way." ”

This Lin Palace Master has an excellent heart and treats his subordinates very kindly, but such a character to do business is a little too weak and indecisive in Qiao Erniang's opinion.

Looking at the back of Lin Zhiyun leaving, Qiao Erniang sighed, full of worries about the future of the "Qingfeng Pavilion".
