Zhang Tao tilted his head, the spring sun was not very dazzling, but he still felt that his eyes were stabbed.

Squinted his eyes slightly, and then he felt that it was not so dazzling. Raising his right hand to block out the sun, Zhang Tao hid in the shadow of his palm, and the sunlight passed through his fingers and shone on his face, like a pair of hands gently caressing his cheeks.

He felt a hint of warmth.

Because of the large consumption of his mind, Zhang Tao began to hallucinate in front of his eyes.

A cute little face appeared on the other side of her fingers, and she smiled, "Third brother, third brother, get up, it's time to go out, today you have to take a physical fitness test." ”

The smile on the little face is so warm.

"The eldest brother and the second brother both tested last year and had an attribute physique, which can be practiced, and if you go to the test today, you will definitely be able to practice."

Zhang Tao's right hand stretched forward, wanting to touch that cute little face.

However, that little face seemed to be extremely far away from him, out of reach.

"Third brother, third brother, don't sleep, if you sleep again, you will miss the time for the test."

"Hurry up, Mei'er will go and fetch water for you to wash your face."

Zhang Tao's right hand stretched forward, trying to grab her, "Mei'er, don't go, Mei'er." ”

"Can anyone come to the house as a servant?" Mei'er's face faded away, replaced by a face full of disdain.

"Be careful, we'll wait for you to come back."

A face with a huge scar that stretched from his temples to his chin appeared before his eyes.

Then there was a resolute face that could only be seen at the age of ten when eating.

Familiar faces appeared in front of Zhang Tao's eyes.

"Third brother, come back quickly, Mei'er misses you."

In the end, Zhang Mei's cute little face appeared in front of his eyes again.

Zhang Tao's godless eyes suddenly radiated brilliance, "Mei'er, father!" ”

"I can't do that, I can't."

"The family still needs me, Mei'er still needs my protection, I can't just give up."

Zhang Tao's eyes gradually became firm.

"Absolutely not."

There seemed to be a light in his eyes, a resolute light that even obscured the light of the sun.

"I've been cultivating hard, what is it for, of course, for the sake of the family, for the sake of my relatives, I can't let them be harmed, absolutely not."

He still remembers the promise he made to Zhang Mei when he was a child.

Mei'er, the third brother will protect you for a lifetime and will never let you be hurt.

"What about the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, what about the Royal Beast Pavilion, and what about the Desolate Beasts, I have survived."

"Isn't it just chasing the wind and fox prints, isn't it just that there are only three years left to live, so what, the important thing is that I am still alive."

"What is the difference between giving up now and being dead."

"I can't just go through this life in a mess, I can't."

Zhang Tao struggled to his feet and pointed to the sky.

"God, since you have arranged such a bumpy fate for me, then I will follow your wishes."

"Zhang Tao!" Seeing Zhang Tao cheer up, the sword spirit was very excited.

"Thank you, Sword Spirit." Zhang Tao said.

For ten days, the sword spirit had been guarding him.

"I've figured it out, since there is no road in front of me, then I'll find a way out of it myself."

"Where is the road? The road is underfoot! Zhang Tao's body suddenly exuded a sky-high pride.

The unknown birds by the stream, which had also been with him for ten days, flew away at this moment.

Fly into the air, fly far away, high and far away.

Take out some food from the ring, and Zhang Tao gulped it up.

With something in his stomach, Zhang Tao felt much more energetic.

Zhang Tao looked at the sky in the distance, "Cultivation is going to death, and not practicing is waiting for death, then I will walk to you and see what kind of terrifying existence you are." ”

"Three years, I still have three years to go. Then use this limited time to do something that should be done. ”

"Sword Spirit, is there no wind chasing fox mark and wind chasing fox tail poison on my body?"

Sword Spirit nodded, "Yes, but although the Wind Chasing Fox Tail Poison is troublesome, I still have a way to solve it." ”

"When I checked the elixir in my mysterious memory some time ago, I found a special elixir for detoxification, but this elixir is a six-pin pill, and at my current level, if you want to refine it, it is still far away."

Sword Spirit said, "My detoxification method is also to use pills, but, unfortunately, to tell you, this pill is a five-grade pill, although it is one level lower than the pill level in the mysterious memory, but your current level, if you want to refine, there is still a long way to go." However, the elixir in the mysterious memory is not targeted after all, and the elixir I have here is specifically for the tail poison of the wind-chasing fox. ”

Zhang Tao nodded, "Then use your method." ”

"What herbs do you need to refine the elixir?" Zhang Tao made up his mind.

"There aren't many types of medicinal materials needed, but they are basically treasures."

"At least a hundred years of blood ginseng, seven-leaf snow lotus, broken intestine root, and the rest are some common medicinal herbs."

"There is also the most critical one, which requires a crystal nucleus of a seventh-order water-attribute desolate beast."

Zhang Tao frowned, "It's really a bit difficult." ”

Ordinary medicinal materials are not a problem, but those cherished medicinal materials are a little difficult.

When Zhang Tao prepared the Gathering Spirit Incense for Zhang Yuanguan, the three-leaf snow lotus he needed was still provided by the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, and now what he needed was the seven-leaf snow lotus, which was even rarer.

"It looks like I'm going to the Great Song Kingdom once."

Snow lotus is a specialty of the snow mountains in the north of the Great Song Kingdom, and if you want to get the seven-leaf snow lotus, you must go to the Great Song Kingdom.

Blood ginseng and broken intestine roots are also rare, but he has the token given by Shangguan Shuai Shuai in his hand, go to the Mercenary Alliance to ask, maybe there will be a recovery.

As for the crystal nucleus of the seventh-order water-attribute desolate beast, it was a little difficult.

The seventh-order desolate beast already belonged to the category of high-level desolate beasts.

"Alas," Zhang Tao sighed, "Go back to the border city first and ask the Mercenary Alliance." ”

"I can help you suppress the wind chasing fox tail poison, and your eyes can return to normal, but if you chase the wind fox seal, there is no way."

Because of the poisoning, Zhang Tao's eyes have turned scarlet, his pupils have become vertical pupils, and the wind-chasing fox mark on his forehead is very obvious.

Scatter your hair naturally and block the wind-chasing fox marks on your forehead.

He used to tie his hair back in his head.

The sword spirit suppressed the wind chasing fox's tail poison, and Zhang Tao's eyes returned to normal, but if you look closely, it is still a little red, as if you haven't rested well.

But it's better than having red eyes.

After washing his face in the stream, Zhang Tao embarked on the road of detoxification.

On the way back to the border city, Zhang Tao walked very fast, after all, the sword spirit could not suppress the wind chasing fox tail poison for a long time, and this also required the sword spirit to consume soul energy, if it could not be detoxified as soon as possible, the soul energy consumption of the sword spirit would be too large, and it would fall into a deep sleep, and at that time, it would be troublesome.

Back in the border city, Zhang Tao sold all the desolate beast crystal nuclei on his body, and he now needed a lot of money.

Zhang Tao knew that the money was not enough at all, and the several medicinal materials needed were all treasures, and there was no market for them.

It costs a lot of money to be able to find it by chance.

After selling the crystal nucleus, Zhang Tao came to the Mercenary Alliance.

The old man who had received him last time stood in front of him.

"We don't have any of these medicinal materials in stock here, but I can ask from other places. But don't hope too much, after all, these herbs are all treasures. ”

Zhang Tao nodded, "I understand this, you just have to do your best." ”

"In addition, send me a bounty, I need a crystal nucleus of a seventh-order water-attribute desolate beast. In terms of commissions, you can see the set. ”

So far, Zhang Tao has only been a mercenary character twice, and one has failed.

Zhang Tao didn't know much about the rewarding mercenary mission, so he handed it over to the old man to take full responsibility.

The old man frowned, "The crystal nucleus of the seventh-order water-attribute desolate beast is a little difficult. The crystal nucleus of the Seventh Order Desolation is more precious than the medicinal materials you need, not to mention that what you need is a crystal nucleus with specific attributes. ”

"It doesn't matter if anyone takes the task or not, you just publish it." Zhang Tao responded.

The old man nodded helplessly.

Zhang Tao has that special token, as long as the request he makes is not too excessive, the old man must do it unconditionally.
