On this day, Midsummer was finally out of the customs, and Qi Ming has been by her side these days, and every time she refines the elixir, she is brought by Qi Ming to repair.

"Sister Xia, you come out." As soon as Ji Ming saw Midsummer going out, he hurriedly greeted him.

Midsummer smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, I want to go shopping on the street today." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's too late for me to be happy. Sister Xia came to our town, but she didn't go out much, so she should have a good look. ”

Qi Ming agrees very much, he hasn't been a good tour guide for Sister Xia.

Since there was no purpose, the two walked slowly, chatting without a match.

It's all midsummer asking, and the instrument answers.

"Do all the refiners live in this town?"

"Yes, the refiners of the Floating City all live in this town."

"Did you find your own materials? Like the last time you were injured trying to find materials? ”

"It was a different time for me, it was a trial mission that my father gave me.

Our common materials are collected by quarrying and mining workers, so each refiner family will have a group of workers.

Most of the antidote pills we buy from you are also for these workers, who usually go deep into the mountains and old forests, where there are so many poisonous insects and snakes that a few people who went out every year never returned. ”

Speaking of this, the mood is a little sad.

Although Midsummer faintly understood the importance of the antidote pill to them, he had never understood it so intuitively, and he felt that the burden on his body was heavy for a while.

But she is the only one who knows how to refine these pills, and even if she makes medicines day and night, she can't meet the needs of all of them.

Maybe she should ask her master.

At this time, Midsummer suddenly realized something: "Didn't you go to the mountains and bring some medicine that can repel insects and snakes?" ”

With these, you can radically reduce the chance of being bitten by poisonous snakes and insects.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ming was stunned when he heard this: "I have never heard of any insect repellent and snake repellent medicine." ”

Hearing this, Midsummer lowered her head thoughtfully, maybe she should find an opportunity to learn about the world of immortals.

Although Qi Ming was very anxious to know what kind of medicine he was talking about just now, seeing her solemn appearance, he had to wait obediently on the side according to his own mood.

When he saw Midsummer looking up, he was both surprised and delighted, and couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Xia, what is the medicine you just said?" You, do you know how to refine? ”

The last few words were asked cautiously and apprehensively.

Sheng Xia looked at Qi Ming and patted him on the shoulder with some distress: "I haven't refined that medicine yet, but it shouldn't be difficult." ”

I was a little depressed when I heard the first half of the sentence, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, my expression immediately soared.

"Great, Sister Xia, thank you so much." Qi Ming danced happily.

Midsummer also looked at the instrument with joy, the reason why she said so sure was entirely because she knew the prescription for insect repellent and snake repellent powder.

"Happy silly, okay, take me around."

After that, Ji Ming took Midsummer to visit all the shops of refining weapons, and Midsummer also found all kinds of equipment with flying functions, such as Dan furnaces, brushes, short daggers, etc.

In the end, Midsummer still bought a single flying machine with a level 1 defense function for the younger brother, and there was no special reason, but they were shy in their pockets.

Suddenly, Midsummer stared at the material in the hand of a refiner for a long time and did not move, how did this blue stone seem to have been seen somewhere.

Ji Ming also looked at the place where Midsummer looked, and saw that it was a dark blue stone, thinking that she was curious, and explained with a smile: "Sister Xia, that is a dark blue stone, which is used for dyeing, and that blue stone is rarely seen." ”

Qi Ming was also a little envious as he spoke.

Midsummer just nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Midsummer was interested in these materials, he also took her to the warehouse where they stored the materials, where there were not only many ordinary materials, but also many precious materials.

Ordinary people can't enter here, but Midsummer is different, she is a guest of their house.

Through this, Midsummer learned a lot of materials that I never knew before, and it was a great eye-opener.

"What kind of tools do you use to collect these ores and stones?" Midsummer asked.

Ji Ming picked up a small hoe from the side: "Ordinary materials are easy to collect with this, and those precious and rare ones need special tools." ”

Midsummer nodded repeatedly.

"You've all been lied to, you've all been lied to······"

Coming out of the warehouse, he was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, when he turned a corner and heard a scruffy old man muttering to himself in the corner.

Sheng Xia stopped, wanting to hear what Lao Su said, and the instrument next to her hurriedly pulled her: "Sister Xia, let's go quickly." After speaking, he glanced at the old man, looking a little disgusted and nervous.

Midsummer silently followed the song, until it was far away, she looked back at Lao Suo, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Ming was a little nervous and leaned into Midsummer's ear and said, "Sister Xia, that's a madman, he will attack others indiscriminately when he is crazy, let's stay away." ”

"Crazy? And what about his family, don't they look at him? ”

Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment before speaking: "He has no family, I remember when I was very young, I would see him wandering around the town alone." ”

"But isn't it said that outsiders are not allowed to come in the town?" Midsummer is puzzled.

Qi Ming, who asked this question, was directly stunned, he touched his head, and suddenly muttered to himself: "Yes, then how did he get into Qi Town?" ”

Midsummer looked at Qi Ming speechlessly: "This is what I asked you." After saying that, he laughed first.

"Yes, yes." Giming smiled embarrassedly, and then said what he knew: "I just remember that when I was young, our elders used to warn us not to approach him, and once I overheard him muttering something about Gizhen or something.

Sister Xia, do you want to know? I can help you ask my dad. ”

Sheng Xia hurriedly shook her head and refused: "No, no, I'm just curious, let's go to the restaurant quickly." ”

At night, the room.

Midsummer is enchanting handkerchiefs while chatting with Xiaofeng.

"Xiaofeng, did you say that the old man you met in the evening would have any hidden mission?" Midsummer, who has done some tasks, also has a certain sensitivity to the game, and the existence of that old man is too strange for her not to suspect.

"Xia Xia, that old man is a little strange." Xiaofeng wrinkled its little flower face slightly, indicating that it was thinking hard.

"Xia Xia, you can just ask." Xiaohe replied very simply.

"Also, pretend to pass by first, and then give him a steamed bun or something to take the opportunity to get closer." Midsummer praised himself for his cleverness and wit.

On the other side, Ji Ming was happily reporting to his father about his trip for the day.

When he talked about the medicine of insect repellent and snake repellent, Qi Xiu also stood up excitedly.

"What you said is true?" This is too unbelievable, originally he thought that the antidote pill was already a gift from God to them, but he didn't expect that there was actually a defensive pill, so they didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Of course it's true, Sister Xia has said it, she will definitely be able to refine it." Qi Ming firmly believes.

"Okay, great." Qi Xiu laughed happily, and even stood up and walked back and forth excitedly.

"You just said she went to visit our material warehouse." After Qi Xiu finished speaking, he continued to ask, but he didn't want Ji Ming to answer at all: "Then I know how to thank her, I am going to retreat these days, you have to receive the midsummer girl well, and if you have any questions, find your second senior brother." ”

The next day, Midsummer directly found the instrument.

"Sister Xia, what are you looking for a hot spring? The floating spring in our main city is also very interesting······" Thinking that Midsummer wanted to soak in the spring, Qi Ming tried his best to recommend the floating spring in the main city to her, but he couldn't just let Sister Xia go, otherwise his father would have to break his leg when he went out.

"What do you think?" Midsummer looked at him funny: "I'm looking for a medicinal herb." ”

was reminded by Midsummer, Qi Ming immediately remembered the medicine he said yesterday to repel insects and snakes, and suddenly understood.

"Oooh! I know where it is, I'll take Sister Xia there. Qi Ming was a little excited.

"No, it's more convenient for me to go alone." Midsummer refused.

"But ······" The instrument hesitated.

"It's okay, forget that I was alone on the floating island."

Hearing Sheng Xia say this, although Qi Ming felt bad, he still told her the location.

"Sister Xia, you must be careful."

Before leaving, Midsummer also went to the main city, found a blacksmith shop, and bought a big hoe and a knife.

Then he took the empty leaf boat directly to the foot of the Tang Mountain that Giming said.

"That's it." Looking at the low and gentle hillside in front of you, you can climb up step by step in midsummer.

Yuyama is a mountain that produces hot springs, and you can see the hot spring water flowing down the ravine.

Midsummer took a handful with his hand, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of sulfur.

Xiaofeng and Xiaohe also couldn't wait to jump into the ravine, and the warm spring water overflowed their bodies.

"Xia Xia, it's really warm." Xiaofeng was happily playing in the water.

Seeing this, Midsummer raised his hand and gently touched the green feet on the top of her head, but since following her, the green feet have never come down from her head except when they rest at night.

"Do you want to come down and play together?" Midsummer asked gently.

"Xiaoqing, come down and play, this water is so fun." Xiaofeng was also urging this green foot on the side.

Xiaohe just glanced at Qingzu lightly and went to play by himself.

Qingzu whispered: "No thanks." ”

Seeing Qingzu's refusal, Midsummer was not reluctant, she knew that it was timid and insecure about the unfamiliar environment.

After she carefully told Xiaofeng and Xiaohe to be safe, she began to dig not far away.

Digging realgar is not an easy job and requires patience and care.

Fortunately, the preparation was sufficient, and the realgar was slowly collected in midsummer.

Realgar - very poisonous, with medicinal value.

Midsummer stayed in Tangshan for a total of 7 days before leaving.

······

Since he entered the back mountain to practice, he has never gone out in the summer, and as for the paper kite competition, it has nothing to do with him, in addition to practicing the piano or practicing the piano every day.

Fortunately, there is a hut where you can rest in the back mountain, and all the ingredients are prepared in it, otherwise he would have been even worse.

On this day, Summer came to the small waterfall as usual, set up the guqin, and was about to start the tune, only to hear a murmuring and grumbling sound from the path below the mountain behind him.

"I'll go, why am I so unlucky, others enter the game, don't say happy and hateful, full of pride, how to say that they are also free, eat fragrant and drink spicy, how can I be so miserable!

Not to mention being destroyed by murderous NPCs every day, it's even better now, and I still have to come to this mountain where birds don't, and it's called cultivation, cultivation, cultivation, and cultivation, I think it's okay to repair me directly······"

Xia heard that he had no intention of practicing, and it seemed that he was driven to the mountains to practice like him, but he didn't know what kind of instrument the other party was learning.

Thinking like this, he simply stood up and walked over.

"Ah, there are ghosts! Help me! ”

Tao Ran finally climbed to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, he was already tired and panting, his eyes were dizzy, and he was holding on to the big tree on the side to gasp, who knew that when he looked up, there was a blurry white shadow in front of him slowly approaching, so frightened that he shouted for help while quickly turning around and running away.

Xia looked at the person with a stunned face and only a back in the blink of an eye, he looked at himself a little inexplicably, no, although he was wearing white clothes, he was 108,000 miles away from the appearance of the ghost, this is blind, or blind, this can be mistaken.

A steady and mild summer can't help but snort, after all, he still cares about his image very much, who can be happy to be recognized as a ghost for no reason.

But looking at the person who was no longer there, he thought about it, stroked his forehead speechlessly, and resigned himself to going down the mountain to find someone.

At the moment, in the mountain hut.

Tao Ran was sitting at the table eating food: "Brother Xia, is this the house we are going to live in in the future?" It looks so small, should we find a way to build a bigger one?

Brother, your skills are so good, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, by the way, that, hehe, I don't know how to cook yet, I'm going to trouble you in the future.

But don't worry, I will clean and chop wood, and I will definitely satisfy you.

Also, I have to go to bed at night, so when will we go cut down some trees and build a bed.

Brother Xia, you're here to practice, haha, what a coincidence, I'm ······ too."

Summer sat on the stake outside the door, silently listening to the Tao Ran talking to himself.

He caught Tao Ran halfway, when Tao Ran was climbing up the mountain again, he smiled embarrassedly when he saw the summer, it turned out that he had just made a stupid mistake when he was halfway through the run.

Xia was going to go their separate ways as soon as he said hello, but before the greeting began, the other party ran over and hugged him as if he had seen his father: "Brother, I finally found you." ”

At that moment, Summer thought that she had Alzheimer's disease, and she couldn't even recognize her brother.

But it turned out that there was nothing wrong with him, he really didn't know the man.

Then the problem is the person in front of him who calls his brother.

"Who are you?" Summer hurriedly pushed the person holding him away.

"Brother, I'm Tao Ran." Tao Ran saw that he couldn't hug Xiaxia's waist, so he immediately hugged his hand tightly.

"I don't know!" Summer is expressionless.

“······”

Ahem, Tao Ran looked at Xia Xia with some embarrassment, and cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"That, brother, my master asked me to come and practice with you." Tao Ran smiled a little flatteringly.

Xia squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Ran, no, isn't his master just an apprentice? Where did another junior brother come from?

"My master is just one of my disciples." Summer is ruthless and straightforward to debunk.

But Tao Ran was not embarrassed at all: "My master is Xiao Lao, haha, my master and your master are both friends and live together, so aren't we just like brothers?" yes, brother. After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows.

"Friends? Live together? A friend you haven't seen in months? Living together in a village? Looking at Tao Ran, who was full of horses with a headache in summer, he seemed to have a premonition of the difficulties in the days to come.

"It's the same, it's the same." Tao Ran didn't care at all, anyway, as long as he could firmly hug the summer thighs. He specially inquired, and this god man had been alone on the mountain for nearly half a month.

At this moment, a small bird flew from the bottom of the mountain with a letter in its beak.

This is his master's way of transmitting the message, which has been done once before, so Xia Xia recognizes it.

I took the letter and opened it.

Sure enough, the bad premonition in Summer's heart came true.

Tao Ran also secretly looked at the content of the letter on the side, and quietly looked at Xia Xia's face, sure enough, his face was paralyzed, and he couldn't see his emotions at all.

After reading the letter, Xia Xia turned his gaze to Tao Ran on the side, and only one last gentle sigh was left in a thousand words.

Tao Ran, who had already finished eating and rested for a while, walked to the summer side with a smile.

"Brother, have something to discuss with you?"

Summer looked at each other expressionlessly.

"Hehe, that's the case, you also know that this cultivation thing must be in a hurry, right? This brewing emotion, the atmosphere of the surrounding environment, the occasional flash of inspiration, these are all indispensable, brother, do you think I am right? ”

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, as if waiting for the approval of the summer.

Then he continued: "This practice can't be achieved overnight, isn't that a god?" For mortals like us, it must take a lot of time to prepare, a long time to arrange, right? ”

After Tao Ran finished speaking, he looked at Xia Xia with an expectant expression, waiting for him to say a right word.

Summer did live up to his expectations: "You're right. ”

"Haha, I'll just say ······"

Looking at Tao Ran, who was laughing happily, Xia Xia silently added: "But you just need to practice hard." ”

Tao Ran, who was laughing happily just now, suddenly stiffened his face with a smile, and naturally couldn't say anything unfinished.

“······”

Summer glanced at him lightly, turned away and didn't take a cloud with him.
