After another two days, the imperial capital finally came. But it's not an immortal master, but a first-class mage.

There are three classes of mages, the first class is the strongest, and the third class is the weakest.

The mage's name is Lu Wei, who is in his thirties and is kind to others.

Lu Wei thought that the movement of 500 soldiers into the mountain together was too big, so he suggested that ten archers with magic crossbows and 20 infantry with magic spears could be selected.

Although General Qi was a little uneasy, it was not easy to refute the Imperial Capital Mage. What's more, the snake demon is fierce, and he doesn't have to go there in person, which is not bad. So thirty soldiers were selected to follow Lu Wei into the mountain, and General Qi and five centurions stayed in Aoba Town.

Lu Wei had a tiring journey and rested in the army for a night.

In the early morning of the next day, Hua Feixue, as a local guide, and spies sent by Guo Xiaoren's mansion, brought Lu Wei and thirty well-equipped soldiers into the mountain.

The two mages and fifty soldiers did not return for a long time, and Guo Xiaoren sent secret agents into the mountain to search, and this spy was one of them.

The spies searched the mountains and wilderness before, and found the bodies of the fallen soldiers in the vast white fog. He has a good memory and still remembers the path.

Hua Feixue saw that he was walking in front, and there was no need to lead the way by himself. He simply slowed down and walked beside Lu Wei.

Although the mountain has no nameless wild mountain, it is early summer, the grass and trees are green, and the mountain spring is looming, but it is also pleasing to the eye.

At noon, the sun was shining, and everyone was eating and resting in a shaded place.

Hua Feixue sat beside Lu Wei and said with a casual smile: "Master Lu, I dug up a strange spirit grass in Jialing Canyon before, and asked many people, but they all said they didn't know each other, I wonder if you can help take a look?"

Lu Wei looked at Hua Feixue, answered the question, and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, you seem to be a spirit child?"

Hua Feixue made some shyness that a young man should have, and said with a smile: "Master Lu has good eyesight, and the junior brother only found out last year. When I was a child, I felt that there was spiritual power floating around me, and I didn't know what it was, but I just felt fun. Last year, I was selling herbs in Fengzhou City, and when I chatted with the owner of the pharmacy, I realized that this is called the body of a spirit child. ”

Lu Wei sighed, seemed a little surprised, and asked, "At what age does Brother Hua perceive spiritual power?"

Hua Feixue thought for a while and said, "It seems that since I can remember, I have spiritual power around me." When I sit or lie still, spiritual power will penetrate into my body and run wild. But as soon as I moved, my spiritual power was gone, and I couldn't keep it. ”

Lu Wei nodded, pulled Hua Feixue to stand up, and said, "Brother Hua, can you let me investigate?"

Hua Feixue had already found a third-class mage in Fengzhou City for a physical examination, he didn't know what Lu Wei had checked, and there were other things, thinking that Wei Lu was going to confirm his identity as a spirit child, so he smiled and said: "Of course you can, Master Lu is willing to investigate for the younger brother, which is the blessing of the younger brother." ”

Lu Wei didn't explain much, gathered qi in his palm, and slowly put it under Hua Feixue. After a while, Lu Wei took his palm and changed positions, walked behind Hua Feixue, and pointed like a sword, lightly touching the back of Hua Feixue's head, and then slowly descended to probe his spine.

The spiritual power entered the body, and Hua Feixue stood motionless and did not dare to move. It wasn't until Lu Wei sat back on the boulder that Hua Feixue breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Lu Wei to speak.

Lu Wei looked at Hua Feixue, smiled, and said slowly: "Congratulations to Brother Hua, the innate spirit body, the superior talent! It's a pity that you have wasted more than ten years of cultivation time, and you will need to be more diligent in the future!"

Lu Weizhen didn't expect that in a poor and remote place, there would be a young man with an innate spirit body. He was overjoyed to find a treasure.

Hua Feixue would be mistaken, thinking that Lu Wei was going to take him as an apprentice. Overjoyed, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Thank you Master for accepting me as an apprentice, the disciple must cultivate diligently!"

Lu Wei hurriedly helped Hua Feixue up: "Brother Hua has the heart to worship me as a teacher, I am very happy." But Tianji Academy has rules, and disciples can't accept disciples privately. After the triennial general election of the spirit child, it will be uniformly distributed by the dean Xianzun and the deacons Xianzun. ”

Hua Feixue was stunned and slightly embarrassed: "I see, it's the little brother who is reckless......"

Lu Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "The general election of the spirit child is approaching, and with the innate spirit of the Hua brothers, there is a great chance of being selected." At that time, no matter whether the Hua brothers are under my door or not, you will be a generation younger than me. It's not reckless for you to kowtow to me in advance. ”

Innate spirit bodies are extremely rare, and it is rare to see one among thousands of spirit children. The innate spirit body is not only easier to absorb spiritual power, but also because it is the body of a spirit child from birth, it can cultivate earlier than an ordinary spirit child.

When the third-class mage of Fengzhou City confirmed the body of the spirit child for Hua Feixue, he also mentioned the innate spirit body. However, the cultivation of third-class mages is limited, and it is not obvious that Hua Feixue has such talent.

Hua Feixue reacted, happy in her heart, but controlled not to be overly aggressive. He remembered why he came, slowed down, and said to Lu Wei: "Lu ...... Uncle Lu, do you know that although the little nephew has the intention to run for the election, he has not yet asked for a letter of recommendation from the mage......

Hua Feixue couldn't apprentice, so she could only try to get a letter of recommendation.

"What's so difficult about this? When the spirit snake is subdued, I will repair a book for Hua Xian's nephew. ”

Hua Feixue changed her name to Uncle Lu Wei, and Lu Wei also changed her name to Hua Feixue's nephew.

"Thank you Uncle Lu for making it happen!"

After successfully seeking the letter, Hua Feixue hurriedly stood up and slammed Lu Wei to the ground.

Lu Wei was relieved and said with a smile: "Huaxian's nephew, is there a spirit grass to see with me?"

Hua Feixue took out a long box from her arms, opened the lid, put her hands in front of Lu Wei, and said, "Uncle Lu, please take a look." ”

There is a dark purple plant lying in the wooden box, the total length is not more than half a foot, the stem of the plant is round and knotted, one finger thick, and the root grows six long leaves, the shape is similar to that of orchid leaves, but there are fine teeth on the leaves, and the whole body of the leaves is purple. There is a flower spike on the top of the stem of the grass and trees, and the flower spike is full of fruit, small and round, and there are as many as twenty or thirty. The fruits are also purple, and they are brilliant and not ordinary.

Lu Wei took the wooden box, glanced at Hua Feixue, and said, "It is indeed a rare spirit grass, this grass is called Purple Leaf Spirit Orchid, it is extremely precious, and it is indispensable for the refining of several high-grade pills." ”

Hua Feixue said with a smile: "Since it is a material for refining high-grade pills, I can't use it even if I think about it." The spirit grass is precious, and it is a pity to spoil it, so I asked Uncle Lu to accept it and make the best use of it. ”

Lu Wei was not polite, and said with a smile: "Since you say so, I will accept it." When I return to the Heavenly Machinery Academy, I will transfer it to the Alchemy Hall. At that time, if you practice Danlai, you will inevitably share a few grains. ”

After a few more small talks, the group got up and set off.

After a short walk, fog gradually began to appear in the mountains and forests. Lu Wei raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

"The spirit snake is ahead, everyone be on guard, the spirit beast is psychic, I will persuade it to surrender first, you can't attack without my order! ”

The soldiers and Hua Feixue received the order.

The further you go, the thicker the fog becomes, until you can't see your fingers.

Lu Wei sacrificed a gold bead, pointed it as a sword, and shouted: "Break!"

Before the words fell, Lu Wei's fingertips shot out a spiritual power, which merged into the golden bead, and the golden bead suddenly shone brightly.

Thousands of golden rays of light pierced Hua Feixue's eyes, and he instinctively raised his hand to block his vision. When the golden light receded, Hua Feixue put down her hand and found that the thick fog had dissipated. He thought to himself: "The Taoism of the Heavenly Machine Academy is mysterious, and it is worthy of its name. ”

The dense fog dissipated, the surrounding terrain was revealed, and not far ahead, a huge crack appeared.

Lu Wei sensed that the spirit snake was in the crack of the ground, and shouted: "The mage is here, the spirit snake will come and see it quickly!"

His drink was intended to be a prestige to the spirit snake. The shouting resounded through the valley, shaking Hua Feixue's eardrums.

The cheers were immediate, and a "hiss" sound came from the cracks in the ground, which made people feel cold.

Hua Feixue thought to herself: "Could it be that this is a spirit snake talking?" I wonder if Uncle Lu can understand. ”

Lu Wei frowned, and shouted again: "Spirit snake come quickly!"

The "hissing" sound in the cracks in the ground became louder, and the ground began to shake.

Lu Wei said in a deep voice: "Prepare for the Demon Breaking Crossbow! The Demon Breaking Gun will step forward and protect the archer!"

Ten archers pulled their arrows and raised their crossbows to aim at the cracks in the ground. Twenty infantrymen were armed with demon-breaking spears, the tips of which were unanimous.

Hua Feixue saw that the battle was about to break out, he was unarmed and self-preservation, so he turned around and found a big tree and hid behind the tree to watch the battle.

With an intermittent "hissing" sound, a bucket-sized, colorful snake head slowly poked out from the crack in the ground.

The colorful snakehead snake letter danced wildly, and his eyes were blood-red.

Lu Wei saw the snake eyes at first glance and didn't think much about it. His eyes glowed with a faint blue light, trying to communicate with the spirit snake through his mind. When his mind touched the Spirit Snake Divine Consciousness Sea, Lu Wei saw a piece of blood red, and a black skeleton in the middle of it smiled hideously at him.

Blood spurted out of Lu Wei's mouth, and he quickly withdrew his thoughts.

Hua Feixue only heard the sound of "choking", Lu Wei drew his sword out of the sheath, pointed at the head of the snake, and shouted: "Kill!"
