The old man said with regret that half a hare was quickly dealt with by him.

Qin Yuan didn't eat a bite, and when he saw that the old man's gaze fell on the half of the hare in his hand again, he thought about it and handed it over, and said helplessly: "You eat first, I'll catch another one." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, there were many beasts in this mountain forest, and in less than ten minutes, Qin Yuan came back with two cleaned hares, as well as a snake that had been skinned by him.

This snake is not venomous, and it is also very tonic.

The old man had already eaten the other half of the hare, and he had no intention of leaving, and continued to wait for Qin Yuan to roast the newly caught hare with snake meat.

The process was not long, after Qin Yuan roasted it, he gave the old man a hare, as for the snake, he made a stone pot, washed it on the edge of the water source and boiled it directly on the fire, the fragrance of the snake broth was stronger than that of a hare.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Qin Yuan got up and said, "If you still want to eat, you have to wait until I am hungry for the next time I cultivate." ”

"Will you be here next time?"

The old man asked with a blank look.

"Well, I'll come over then."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Dropping this sentence, he just left.

waited until Qin Yuan disappeared, and the gluttony on the old man's face was replaced by a faint smile.

"There are not many young men with a simple heart like this, and when you meet an old man, it can be regarded as fate."

The old man laughed to himself.

If he knew that Qin Yuan just didn't think about it so much, after all, he hadn't been in cultivation for a long time, and he didn't know if he would think that Qin Yuan was simple-minded.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this period, Qin Yuan met the old man three or four times, and the last time they met, it happened to be the last day of the month-long period.

After eating and drinking with him a few times, Qin Yuan also relaxed his guard against the old man and said, "I'm going to leave in the next two days, and I won't come to get you food next time." ”

The old man ate so deliciously, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he raised his head and smiled: "Time is really fast, and the old man will not eat your things in vain, so I will give you some thanks." ”

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed out, and a ray of light flashed away, disappearing into Qin Yuan's eyebrows.

Immediately after, he felt that there was something more in his head, like an extra memory out of thin air, which was an alchemy exercise.

"This exercise is called Qihuang Alchemy, the old man has countless alchemy in his life, in this, there are many Dan recipes and alchemy methods recorded by the old man, which should be of some help to you, in addition, the old man has no long things, so he can only give you one more thing."

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the crutches in his hand, he raised the crutches, and said to Qin Yuan, "You come over a little more." ”

Qin Yuan was still immersed in the extra alchemy exercises in his mind, and when he heard the old man's words, he still took two steps forward.

The old man lifted his cane and stomped on the ground.

Immediately, the ground cracked, and a small box floated out of thin air.

"There is an elixir in this, which can save your life when you are on the line of life and death, and if it is enough to create, it may even help you break through."

After the old man finished speaking, he reached out to catch the box, opened the box, and there was a light cyan pill lying quietly inside.

"What is this?"

Qin Yuan asked curiously.

By now, if he didn't know that this old man's identity was not ordinary, he would have lived in vain, and if he wanted to say that he was not surprised, it would definitely be fake.

"Good thing, I see that you don't have a storage spirit bag yet, so I'll give you one."

The old man smiled, stretched out his hand, conjured out a small cloth bag as if by magic, took out a small porcelain bottle, put the pill in it, threw it into the storage spirit bag, and handed it to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan naturally accepted it unceremoniously and said gratefully: "Thank you!" ”

"Hehe, it's just as a return gift, okay, I don't have anything extra to give you, let's go."

As the old man spoke, Qin Yuan felt that he was flying into the air, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, but found that the old man was holding him with one hand, and he flew out directly over the mountains and forests like a cloud.

Finally they came to a flat ground with no shelter around them.

The old man shook the ground with his cane again, and a layer of transparent ripples spread, and after a while, someone swept towards this side, Qin Yuan looked intently, and saw that the person who had come in with him was rushing towards this side.

After more than half an hour, everyone rushed here.

No one noticed that Qin Yuan and the old man appeared at the same time, they just thought that he came faster.

After a month of cultivation, basically everyone's strength has been improved, especially Guan Zhongxing, although they have not directly broken through to the general, but they are not far away.

Su Ran also looked very rewarded, with a look of joy on his face.

"Everyone has arrived, right? It's time for you to get out. ”

The old man smiled kindly.

"Thank you, senior!"

Everyone thanked each other.

The old man stomped on the crutches again, and a formation lit up under everyone's feet, and as the light became more and more intense, everyone's figures also disappeared in the light.

That feeling of weightlessness came again, and in only a few seconds, Qin Yuan had experienced it once, and this time he was much calmer.

When they reappeared, everyone came to another square, which looked no different from the square of the previous martial arts stronghold.

However, this time, the strong man who appeared was not the man in the green robe after the third level, but the woman in red.

"Welcome to the fifth level."

The woman lightly opened her red lips, and her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, the fourth level had been cultivated for a month, and many people hadn't reacted yet, so it came directly to the fifth level, which was a bit abrupt.

But the timing is about the same.

Qin Yuan asked in a low voice next to Su Ran, "What is the assessment of the fifth level?" ”

"I don't know."

Su Ran shook his head and added: "I only know that the fifth level is the most difficult to pass, not only to assess strength, but also to other factors. ”

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, this answer was too vague.

The woman also spoke again at this time: "If you can get here, I believe you are all the best, but when it comes to the last level, whether you can reach the top of the mountain depends on your own strength and hard work." ”

"Dare to ask the seniors, what is the test of this fifth level?"

Someone stood up and asked boldly.

The woman raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and chuckled: "Don't be so nervous, the fifth level does not test your strength, but your heart, as for how to test, I can't tell you now." ”

"Thank you, senior."

The young man also thanked him immediately, and did not dare to ask more.

"Alright, there are still the last five hundred meters from the top of the mountain, let's go."

The woman said no more, and ordered, and the exit of the stronghold was also opened, and as for what was waiting for them, they could only know after they went out.
