In a narrow grassland between the two mountains, a herd of starhorn deer is leisurely perched there, watching the two bucks in the middle of the herd fight—they are vying for the position of the head deer, and the winner will become the new leader of the herd.

A few fawns that clearly looked like they were still young lying on the outskirts of the herd, casually watching the battle between the two deer in the middle, but their attention was not on it at all. And the deer in their vicinity are also consciously staying away from the fawns, but this is not that they are repelling the fawns.

These fawns are all spirit beasts that have been enlightened, and unlike those spiritless star horned deer, they have been separated from the category of beasts, and they have been divided into different levels from their consciousness, so it is naturally impossible to mix with them anymore, in their eyes, the behavior of fighting for the head deer is just a game of inferior creatures, just look at it.

It didn't take long for one of the two bucks competing for the head deer to gradually show fatigue, and within a few blows, the other flew a few feet away with the top of the antlers, perhaps because of a hard fall, and did not get up for a long time.

The victory has been decided, and the victorious stag raised his head and let out a long roar of "yo-", announcing his victory, attracting the attention of all the star horned deer. The failed horned deer slowly left the herd with its head down and walked into the distance step by step after finally standing up. The loser will be driven out by the entire herd, which has been the practice of the whole herd since ancient times, and it will have to live alone from now on.

But whether it was the grandeur of the victorious horned deer or the dismal departure of the defeated horned deer, those enlightened fawns were unmoved, anyway, no matter who the leader was, they couldn't control their heads, they didn't care at all.

Suddenly, the fawns looked at the hill not far away at the same time, as if they had heard something, and two of them stood up from the ground, looking a little excited.

After five or six breaths, Lu Zhao jumped out of the woods. The half-human-high scythe was swung up and down in her hand, and the whole person was like a butterfly flying up and down, and in the blink of an eye it was next to the deer.

The buck who had just become the head deer lowered his head deeply after seeing Lu Zhao, and the majesty just now disappeared completely, and the whole deer herd seemed very quiet because of her arrival.

Lu Zhao put away the scythe, glanced at the herd of deer, and then stared at the stag in the center for a long time before speaking: "New leader?" Looks like I've been in retreat for a bit long......"

Although nominally everyone is of the same race, the difference between spirit beasts and beasts is not ordinary, and whether the deer group changes the leader or not has no impact on Lu Zhao, she came today for another purpose.

"Ah Xun. Come here! ”

A small deer stood up from the ground and walked in front of Lu Zhao when he heard the sound, stood still, looked up at her, and his big eyes were full of doubts.

Looking at his younger brother's cute appearance, Lu Zhao stretched out his hand and fluttered on his head a few times, rubbing him straight and hiding back, but it's a pity that the little guy in the Enlightenment Period could escape his sister's hand? By the time she had rubbed enough, his face was aching.

"Remember the last time I brought it back? That's a ground-level alchemist, she has refined a lot of pills. Now that you're sure of your transformation, Dad asked me to take you back to try it, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, the fawn's eyes immediately lit up. Ignoring the pain that the sister in front of him had just pulled his face, he rushed to her in two steps, bit the corner of her clothes and dragged it in the direction of the family station, looking impatient.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. I'm going to have my clothes ripped by you! Although Lu Zhao said this, he ran faster than anyone else, picked up his younger brother and carried it on his shoulders and ran in the direction of home. Leaving a group of envious fawns waiting for their good news in place. They all heard it just now, there is now an alchemist in the family, and good things naturally can't only be Lu Xun's share, he just took the first bite because of his special status, and it is estimated that it won't be long before they can transform into shapes. …

Lu Xun was carried by his sister and ran upside down, and he was about to vomit yesterday's uncomfortable food, but fortunately, that grassland was not far from their destination, and he arrived before he really vomited, otherwise he was likely to vomit directly on his sister.

Seeing that his daughter directly carried her son back, the patriarch showed a somewhat helpless look on his face, and said to Lu Zhao: "You, how old you are, don't you know how important you are, won't you be a good example for your younger brother?" ”

Lu Zhao stuck out his tongue and looked up at the sky: "It's Ah Xun who is in a hurry to come back." ”

"You...... Forget it, I won't train you today, Ah Xun stay, I'll check your cultivation progress first, Zhao'er will go and invite Master Li over, Ah Xun transforms and I am going to let her watch. ”

When Lu Zhao heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay! Before he could finish speaking, he ran out of the room.

She is now full of admiration and admiration for Li Qingyu, as long as she has the opportunity, she will run to that crypt to fight, and her hard-working appearance makes all the clansmen feel very amazing when they see it. You must know that this eldest lady used to be a lively and excessive person, let alone let her help with things, even her own business she sometimes felt troublesome and didn't do it, otherwise with her talent, she would have crossed the threshold of the middle stage of Ning Yuan a long time ago.

For the change in his mentality, Lu Zhao himself also feels magical. Before meeting Li Qingyu, she never thought that she would one day be so diligent in doing something, it is true that becoming a spiritual cultivator is a very happy thing, but cultivation makes her extremely irritable, and sometimes she even envies those spiritless horned deer, thinking that their free appearance is very desirable.

Until she met Li Qingyu.

At the beginning, when she knew that Li Qingyu had actually transformed for less than three years, she thought that Li Qingyu was deceiving people, although her cultivation talent was not top-notch, it was not bad, but it had been more than thirty years since her transformation had not crossed the threshold of the middle stage of Ning Yuan, and Li Qingyu had already become a Dan in less than three years? It's definitely a joke!

However, when Li Qingyu started alchemy, she silently believed her statement.

If such a crazy cultivation is not rewarded accordingly, there must be no such creature as spiritual cultivation in this world, right?

From the beginning of processing raw materials, Li Qingyu was immersed in it, because she found that although this was only refining a pill, it could exercise the improvement of her abilities in all aspects, including the water refining method and the wind refining method that had not been practiced for a long time, and there was obvious progress after the high-intensity material treatment, so she couldn't stop at the beginning.

Handling Materials--Refining Pills-Depleting Materials-Handling Materials--Refining Pills-Depleting Materials......

For half a year, Li Qingyu was almost a quarter of an hour resting, devoting herself to the cause of alchemy, the alchemy materials were rapidly consumed, and the finished pills were furnace after furnace, and in the end, her success rate actually reached a terrifying eighty percent, and on average, there would be a furnace of earth-level pills in every five furnaces of alchemy, and Lu Zhao was shocked to see it, for fear that she would accidentally consume too much energy and cause some accidents, and persuaded her to rest and rest several times, but the result was rejected, Once, because she insisted on letting her rest, she was angry in front of her alchemy furnace, and she was directly wrapped into a big dumpling and thrown out of the crypt, and when she tried to go in again, she found that she was blocked outside by a prohibition.

After that day, she no longer dared to persuade Li Qingyu to rest, and helped her block all the people who came to persuade her back, and then she was allowed to enter the crypt again.

There are more and more pills in stock, and the clansmen of the Xingchen Horned Deer clan soon enjoyed the benefits of having pills, and several clansmen who were trapped in front of the threshold of the realm successfully broke through after taking the pills, including Lu Zhao, who is now a cultivator at the peak of the Ning Yuan period, and is only one step away from touching the barrier of the Cheng Dan period, but this step cannot be crossed by the pill alone, so she has been cultivating extremely hard and seriously during this time, and even on the way to find Lu Xun, she is pleased. …

Familiar with the way to the entrance of the crypt, and after greeting the two clansmen guarding there, Lu Zhao jumped in, but as soon as she entered Li Qingyu's alchemy room, her face changed, because the alchemist who looked good yesterday is now lying motionless on the ground, and the ground fire in the alchemy furnace next to it has been extinguished, and it is estimated that it has been extinguished for several hours, and there is a faint smell of burnt paste in the entire alchemy room, and the source of the smell is the alchemy furnace, there should be a furnace of pills that have been refined.

"Alley!!" Lu Zhao stepped next to Li Qingyu to check her situation, but when he was about to touch her, his hands were bounced away by a repulsive force, making her hands tingle after being shocked.

Take a closer look, the person lying on the ground had a calm complexion, a ruddy face, and it looked like he was just sleeping, not like there was any emergency, which made her less nervous a little, but she still used her divine thoughts to check her situation, and found that the spiritual power on her body fluctuated normally, and there were no wounds on her body, not like she was injured, so she was really relieved.

However, just in case, Lu Zhao still decided to bring his father over to have a look, in case there was something wrong that she couldn't see, wouldn't it delay the treatment time?

Now in the entire Xingchen Horned Deer Clan, Li Qingyu is the object of attention and protection, and his attention is much higher than that of the patriarch himself, as soon as he heard that she passed out in the alchemy room, the patriarch immediately changed his face and rushed to the crypt with several clan masters.

Like Lu Zhao, Li Qingyu, who was lying on the ground, refused to be touched by anyone, and even the patriarch, a spiritual cultivator in his infancy, was treated the same. After circling around her several times and studying for a long time, a group of people finally came to the conclusion that she should have entered a state of retreat because of an epiphany, and they had better not forcibly wake her up at this time, otherwise it was likely to ruin a rare opportunity, so they left Lu Zhao alone to take care of her and then exited the crypt.

Sitting cross-legged in the corner of the alchemy room, Lu Zhao was distracted while cultivating and observing the situation on Li Qingyu's side, never relaxing for a moment, obviously next to the scorching earth fire, but he didn't feel the heat at all, which showed his seriousness.

Who would have thought that Li Qingyu's retreat would be a month-
