Lan Feng returned to Nanshan City, and before he had time to rest, he followed Shangguan Tianyi to participate in the competition, and now that the qualification for the imperial trial has also been obtained, he can find a place to rest. Shangguan Tianyi arranged for him directly opposite Shangguan Qing'er, one is the east wing room, the other is the west wing, and the beautiful name is to learn from each other.

Shangguan Tianyi also asked someone to send a book on the identification of medicinal materials, although it was only as a nominal disciple, and the arrangements everywhere were enough to be careful.

Besides, Lan Feng didn't know what medicine Shangguan Qing'er had taken wrong, so he didn't forget to turn around and glare at him when he entered the door. Lan Feng already has the strength close to the double of the spirit gathering at this time, in addition, the soul power has unconsciously reached the late stage of the spirit gathering, which is completely comparable to the second-grade alchemist, before on the way, Shangguan Tianyi also told him that one of the great uses of soul power is to engrave the array talisman, and for him, the time is twice that of ordinary people, whether it is alchemy or the engraver talisman, there is no harm in using a little more skills. In the dead of night, Lan Feng quietly entered the world of the Book of Heaven, cultivating in an environment of double speed, and at the same time recording the things in the medicinal herb book, the pill has been closely related to martial artists since ancient times, and it is also a profiteering industry, and a lot of resources are required for cultivation, if there is nothing that can be handled, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the future.

The night passed, and Lan Feng still seemed to have underestimated the power of this Heavenly Book World, at this time, he not only memorized all the medicinal materials, but also finally broke through to the Gathering Spirit Dual Realm, and the two cyclones circulated endlessly in his body.

Lan Feng went out the earliest, and for martial artists, it was best to replace rest with cultivation, not only would it not make people feel tired, but it would also be extraordinarily energetic. Lan Feng stood in front of the door, opposite Shangguan Qing'er's room, and the lights were also lit at this time, and the martial artists used a kind of lighting stone that was particularly produced on the mainland, and the price was very cheap.

Because the sky outside was not yet bright, Lan Feng saw a graceful figure through the window, and slowly walked out of the door, "Cai'er, get me a basin of hot water, Cai'er, are you up?" Shangguan Qing'er slowly opened the door, Lan Feng only felt that his eyes lit up, Shangguan Qing'er was wearing a set of underwear, the collar on his chest was very low, and the whiteness of it was visible to the naked eye, Lan Feng couldn't help but feel a little bloody.

"Ahh Shangguan Qing'er rubbed her eyes, it could be seen that she had not spent the night in cultivation, and when she opened her eyes, she just saw Lan Feng standing on the opposite side and looking straight ahead, her face turned red all at once, and she hurriedly closed the door and hid in the house. I thought, it's bad, I haven't lived in the house anymore, but I forgot about him, I must have seen it just now. Thinking about it, I didn't forget to look down at my chest.

"Miss, I'm ready for you, why don't you get up so early today?" At that moment, a maid pushed open the door and entered the room with water.

The maid's name is Cai'er, and she grew up with Shangguan Qing'er since she was a child, and Shangguan Qing'er treats her like a sister.

"What's the matter, Miss, why are your faces so red!Are you sick?" he said, hurriedly holding his hand close to Shangguan Qing'er's forehead.

"No, no!" Shangguan Qing'er said in a low voice.

"Oh, by the way, who's that guy on the other side? Uncle. When Cai'er came, he found Lan Feng standing outside the door, he actually just wanted to breathe fresh air and relieve some of the fatigue of cultivation, but he didn't want them to think so much.

"Phew, just that pervert, when he sees a woman, he doesn't blink his eyes. Shangguan Qing'er originally wanted to say it euphemistically, but when she thought of Ding Lin's behavior during the competition, she was inexplicably angry, it seems that the people that my brother values are really the same virtue as him, and there is no good thing.

"Oh... Did he see Miss..."Cai'er smiled, her eyes pointing to Shangguan Qing'er's chest.

"Okay, you little girl, you'll tease me, looking for a fight. ”

"Don't, miss, Cai'er doesn't dare. ”

Lan Feng was outside, across the courtyard, and heard their laughter, and was a little embarrassed, then shook his head and turned back to the house.

Shangguan Tianyi was also struggling at this time, whether to teach Lan Feng alchemy or not, not because he didn't have an apprenticeship but just thought that the teacher was not a teacher, Shangguan Tianyi was not so stingy, what he was worried about was delaying Lan Feng's cultivation, I have to say that as long as Lan Feng went all the way like this, within ten years, it would be possible to step into the spiritual realm, if he cultivated the Dan Dao, I am afraid it would take a lot of time. In the end, he had to make a decision to let Lan Feng not be distracted and concentrate on improving his strength before the martial arts meeting in the three states. After the soul power reaches the Yuan Dan realm, the cultivation and soul power growth will depend on talent and comprehension, so that there will be time to cultivate the Dan Dao.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lan Feng and the others were ready to leave Nanshan City to go to the imperial capital, during which Shangguan Tianyi also told Lan Feng about the pros and cons, and explained to Lan Feng the medicinal materials related to soul power such as soul nourishing grass and soul refining stones, which also made him see and hear a lot in this half month.

Nanshan Castle, the castle lord's mansion.

This is the most spectacular building in Nanshan City, as a direct subordinate force of the Yaoyang Empire, the buildings here are mostly pavilions, and the atmosphere is lofty and elegant. At this time, there were four teenagers standing in the hall where the city lord welcomed guests, and there was also a Lori who was sitting and eating, Lan Feng was among these four people, of course it was Ding Lin who was eating, she was staring at Lan Feng while eating, as if she was still angry and cutting off her whip. Lan Feng pretended not to see it, and cried again after a while, he was really helpless.

"You are all here, sit down!" After a while, the Lord of Ding City came out of the back hall and beckoned them to take their seats, "This imperial trial, we Nanshan City only a few of you participated, as we all know, the time for the rise of our Nanshan City is very short, so that the cultivation is much lower than other cities, but fortunately, there is also Lan Feng, Ding Lin, you two Gathering Spirit Realm, the results of this trial will not be too ugly, I have asked people to prepare supplies along the way, this time you go by yourself, be careful." As he spoke, he beckoned his subordinates to bring five packages.

"Lan Feng..."The Ding City Lord wanted to speak and stopped.

"What does the City Lord command?" Lan Feng asked.

"I can't talk about orders, but there will be contradictions between the various cities in the empire, this time Ding Lin will definitely attract some people to target her when he participates in the trial, I just hope that along the way, you can take good care of her for me." As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Lin dotingly.

"Who wants him to take care of me, I still have Brother Ding Jun! Ding Lin's eyes widened.

"It's... Be... Be. One of the teenagers stammered, and his words couldn't help but arouse Lan Feng's suspicions, probably because he had suffered a lot from this girl.

Lan Feng just nodded, according to Shangguan Tianyi, the imperial trials are generally competitions in the Gathering Spirit Realm, but it is not excluded that some secret methods, or pills can make people reach the Spirit Transformation Realm in a short time, just like the old ghost of the Qiu family who didn't know where to get the Blood Burning Pill. Three of the five of them are all quenching ninefold, although they are one step away from gathering spirits, but this step is not so simple.

After a very brief tidying up, Lan Feng also carried a package, although he had a lotus platform to store items, but this kind of thing should not be easily revealed. Pifu is not guilty, and he still understands the truth of his guilt. Finally, the group of five set off in the afternoon. According to the road map, they could rest at a place called Sanshi Village tonight, so they hurried non-stop.

Along the way, Lan Feng chatted with a few people, and learned the names of several other people, Ding Jun is the son of the elder brother of the city lord of Ding, but his brother seems to have died in battle, and his son is temporarily living in the city lord's mansion, and the other two are called Bu Xiujie and Bu Xiuying, a pair of brothers in Nanshan City, both of whom are quenched and have nine bodies.

"Brother Lan, my brother and I passed by this Sanshi Village before, and this village is strange. Bu Xiujie has been chattering since he got acquainted with them, but he was bored all the way, and everyone listened to him tell stories.

"What's so strange?" Lan Feng asked. Ding Lin sat in the carriage, dragging her chin with her hands, it was rare to be cute for a while, Lan Feng didn't bother her, just closed the window behind her, and he felt that the wind outside was a little strong.

"Last time we were at the foot of Sanshi Village, the villagers of this village are very welcoming, but one thing is too strange, every house in this village has a statue of a snake, and they have to worship it every day, I really don't know what they have in mind. ”

"Maybe it's a local custom, but it's not surprising, right?" Ding Jun said. There were still a lot of people worshipping beasts he had seen, and he had long been surprised.

"I'm not done yet, it's just that no one has seen a snake beast in hundreds of years, and it seems that no snake beast has ever come near it in their village. Isn't it strange that you say that snakes are worshipped in such a place?"

When Lan Feng heard this, he couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart, if they hadn't seen it before, how could there be a statue of a snake, it could be seen that they had still seen it, and those scenes were still deeply engraved in their minds, but no one wanted to mention it.

"Don't talk nonsense, my dad told me. "Ding Lin was a little unhappy after she went out, she must have never left home to go so far," Sanshi Village is named after the local specialty of three different colors of lighting stones, although the lighting stone is very cheap in the eyes of the warriors, but at least it can make this group of ordinary people worry about food and clothing, but there will be a kind of nearly transparent snake in the lighting stone vein, the locals call it the ice heart snake, this snake body is cold, and very thin, if the young ice heart snake encounters the people who mine the veins, it will lurk in their bodies, absorb nutrients for their own growth, and wait until adulthood will devour people's lives, and then break out of the shell. But as early as a hundred years ago, a great power passed by here, and after learning about it, he sealed the Ice Heart Snake King here, the Snake King has understood human nature, as the price of saving his life, that is, he is not allowed to hurt people in the future, when the person left, he sealed the soul of the Ice Heart Snake King in dozens of snake statues, and handed it to the village name, originally let them hold it so that the Ice Heart Snake did not dare to attack them again, who expected them to take it to worship, if the senior knew, I don't know what he would think in his heart. ”

"I see!" Bu Xiujie suddenly realized.

"Okay, it's almost here, everyone remember not to talk nonsense and make the villagers unhappy. I'll send you here, and you'll have to cross the trail yourself. Then the coachman said, and everyone knew that they had arrived.

Lan Feng probed out, the sky was still bright, but from a distance, he saw a few bonfires lit in the village, and he heard a commotion from a long distance.

Lan Feng felt an inexplicable uneasiness rise in his heart.
