Under the leadership of Lin Qi, Huo Xiu finally entered the Hundred Herb Garden, where the space was huge, but there was no martial artist, and they all went to work in the medicine field.

Along the way, Lynch always didn't say a word, and Huo Xiu couldn't ask questions, so he could only follow quickly. Finally, they settled down in front of a thatched cottage.

Lynch turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Senior Brother Huo will wait here for a while, and I will go in and inform the Master of the Academy." ”

It was only now that Huo Xiu had the opportunity to see the full picture of the Hundred Herb Garden. This and the Zhenwu Hall are simply two worlds, and there is not even a decent building, without exception, they are all thatched huts.

What's even more strange is that there are no stakes, sandbags, knives, guns and sticks that martial artists need to practice martial arts. On the contrary, there are many plough rakes and shovels, medicine pestles and grinding discs, which look like a farm.

It was a full quarter of an hour before Lynch came out of the cottage. He pointed to the thatched hall and said coldly: "Go in, Mu Lao is waiting for you inside." ”

Huo Xiu thanked him and opened the door of the cottage.

As soon as he entered the door, Huo Xiu felt a biting coldness and couldn't help but shiver.

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from the depths of the cottage.

"Huo Xiu, huh, come and talk. ”

Huo Xiu looked over and found a short, withered old man curled up on the Taishi's chair.

The old man looked to be over 100 years old, with gray hair, a gray coat, and a wooden cane, as if he were drooping from age. Although he doesn't look good, he should be the head of the Baicao Garden.

Huo Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Huo Xiu paid a visit to the master of the courtyard. ”

Mu Lao waved his hand, which was a response. He coughed and said slowly, "Young man, do you crave strength?"

Mu Lao's question made Huo Xiu feel very strange, and he could only answer honestly: "No, I just want to start my martial arts path smoothly. ”

"Smooth?"

Mu Lao sneered, he raised his voice, and then said, "You beat Ji Chong to a serious injury, do you think the Ji family will let you go?"

What had just happened had already been known to Mu Lao, and Huo Xiu couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Master of the Academy, how do you know?"

"Hehe, as long as I don't lose my breath, I can save people back. Ji Chong is already in a coma, where else can he go if he doesn't come to me? Just now, I just delayed the time just to treat him. Mu Lao replied proudly.

Knowing that Ji Chong was fine, Huo Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although there is Tang Qian's promise, if he really beats Ji Chong to death, he will not end well.

However, Mu Lao obviously didn't know the inside story, and Huo Xiu didn't want to explain too much.

Seeing that Huo Xiu didn't have much reaction, Mu Lao knocked on the crutches in his hand and continued: "Huo Xiu, it seems that you have finally advanced to the Qi Control Realm, and your true qi is not weak. ”

Huo Xiu's body shook suddenly, and it was only now that he realized that he had underestimated this old man.

Since Mu Lao was able to revive Ji Chong and cause his serious injuries, he would definitely be able to speculate.

Huo Xiu had no choice but to use the rhetoric he told Tang Qian to deal with Mu Lao again.

Mu Lao smiled and listened to Huo Xiu's explanation, and only said leisurely at the end: "Huo Xiu, it seems that the catastrophe ten years ago was a good thing for you. ”

Huo Xiu suddenly felt a thunderstorm in his chest, and he felt more and more that Mu Lao was unfathomable, and he even knew such a secret thing.

As Mu Lao said, the reason why Huo Xiu's meridians were filled with cold air was indeed because he was severely injured in the catastrophe that Huojiabao encountered ten years ago.

Seeing that Huo Xiu's mental defense line had collapsed, Mu Lao smiled "hehe" and said, "You don't have to be curious, I was a well-known pharmacist in this area ten years ago, and I was even famous in the Southern Regions. After you suffered that catastrophe, Huo Chongwei asked me to treat you. Maybe I felt that my approach was too dangerous, and Huo Chongwei was looking for another master. It's a pity that his stupid decision not only delayed you for three years, but Huo Lao'er himself died unexpectedly, it is really a good reincarnation in heaven. ”

As he spoke, Mu Lao actually laughed. That hoarse voice made Huo Xiu feel extremely disgusted.

After a long while, Mu Lao barely stopped his smile and said, "Okay, let's change to a lighter topic, you are now in the Qi Control Realm, have you practiced exercises and combat skills?"

Huo Xiu's expression froze, and he replied truthfully: "No, I have just advanced to the Qi Control Realm, and I haven't started cultivating yet. ”

Exercises and combat skills can only be cultivated when they reach the Qi Control Realm. Gongfa is a method to promote the circulation of true qi in the meridians, so as to nourish the meridians and refine the true qi. Combat skills are techniques for releasing true qi, and through specific meridians and cultivation, the power of true qi has been greatly enhanced.

Because the meridians of the body refining realm were blocked by the innate turbidity qi, the martial artists of the body refining realm were unable to cultivate exercises and combat skills. Only after advancing to the Qi Control Realm and the meridians are unblocked, can you start trying.

These are all basic common sense, and Mu Lao deliberately asked, obviously with ulterior motives.

Sure enough, Mu Lao sneered a few times and said, "Huo Xiu, I have a set of Xuan-level exercises here, I don't know if you are interested." ”

"Xuan-level?"

Huo Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Mu Lao was so good at hand, and all the Xuan-level exercises could be at his fingertips.

Zhenyuan Martial Mansion only provides the lowest level of yellow-level exercises and combat skills, and most of them are yellow-level lower and middle grades, and there are almost no upper grades.

As for the Xuan level, only a few powerful families in the entire Zhenyuan County have it, and only the core clan can contact it.

The heaven level and the earth level are too far away, and they are not accessible at the level of Zhenyuan County, I am afraid that only the Nanshan Sect can reach them.

However, after all, Huo Xiu and Mu Lao met for the first time, and they were so attentive from the beginning, the other party must have ulterior motives.

Huo Xiu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought that he should take this opportunity to ask Mu Lao to sign an edict to him agreeing to leave.

Huo Xiu saluted Mu Lao again, and said, "Thank you for your concern, boy, I am a newcomer, how can He De accept such a big gift." And my realm is really average, so please choose another good person for the head of the academy. ”

Mu Lao shook his head and said in a low voice: "This set of exercises is too narrow, it is not suitable for other people, only you are the best candidate." ”

Mu Lao had already taken the bait, Huo Xiu smiled slightly, and said, "Tell the Master of the Academy, I am a member of the Huo clan, the first family in Zhenyuan County. The Huo family has been handed down for 500 years, and there are a few copies of Xuan-level exercises, which should be much better than your wild fox Zen. ”

Mu Lao's face sank, as if he was about to have a seizure. However, he quickly calmed down, snorted coldly, and said, "Huo Xiu, do you still think you are a member of the Huo clan? You are now helpless in the Huo family, you are simply a fish on the board." Not to mention the Huo family's family inheritance, you may even lose your identity as a member of the Huo clan. Well, since you don't give up, I will write a handwritten message for you, hold my handwritten message, you can leave the Wufu at any time and return to the Huo family, and I will wait for the news of your victorious return. ”

As he spoke, Mu Lao threw Huo Xiu a thin piece of paper, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

The corners of Huo Xiu's mouth raised, and the handwritten edict of the head of the courtyard was easily obtained, it seemed that this old guy was very arrogant, and he couldn't be stimulated at all.

Huo Xiu can now leave Zhenyuan Martial Mansion in a bright light, return to the Huo family in time, and continue his mission.

At this time, the super task system is also reminding Huo Xiu that the task completion rate has reached 20%.

However, what Huo Xiu didn't know was that when he left the grass hall, Lynch suddenly dodged into it.

"Mu Lao'er, are you recruiting ignorant teenagers again?"

Lynch not only did not have the slightest respect for Mu Lao, but was extremely disdainful.

"What? Lynch, are you threatening me? I warn you, if you dare to meddle in this matter, I can't guarantee that the final refining of that thing will be successful. ”

In the face of Lynch's aggressiveness, Mu Lao was not afraid and said leisurely.

"You ......"

Lynch's face sank, and he was speechless for a while. But he quickly recovered and sneered.

"Mu Lao'er, our patience is limited, if you can't succeed within half a year, don't blame us for being polite. ”

Mu Lao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." Besides, that thing is extremely dangerous, and no one is sure of success if you don't cultivate a few good furnace experiments. ”

Lynch didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the grass hall, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. What he didn't see was that a few hints of cunning quietly appeared on Mu Lao's face, and then quickly disappeared.
