In front of him was a waterfall that shimmered in the sunlight and was as bright as Bai Lian, the air was mixed with water vapor and the fragrant smell of plants and trees outside, under a deep breath, Lu Chen felt a relaxation in his lungs, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the depression caused by the jade tablet snatching the elixir not long ago seemed to disappear.

After stopping by the waterfall for a few breaths, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, jumped into the pool outside the waterfall.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was prepared, and when he walked through the waterfall, he was no longer embarrassed like before, and he fell all over his body. Lu Chen bowed down, and landed in the pool outside the waterfall first, stabilizing his body very well.

Climbing out of the pool, Lu Chen looked up at the sky, it should still be morning at this time, probably less than two hours or so from noon, the sun has begun to become hot, basking on Lu Chen's naked upper body skin, only to feel a burst of warmth, and the water droplets are quickly evaporated.

Soon, Lu Chen remembered the medicine basket he had left before entering the cave. Although his world has changed dramatically due to the supernatural events that he has experienced, Lu Chen's attitude towards life, or his standard of living, has not changed.

Thrifty and even a little "stingy", he is still like this, and his calm personality has not become sharp because of the opportunity, and everything has not changed as usual.

It's just that what Lu Chen knows is that from the moment he stepped out of the stone valley, perhaps, his fate has already been deviated. And it all started with the encounter in the stone valley.

Lu Chen understands very well that he is no longer the same person he used to be, he used to be weak and helpless, and he has no ability to take care of his own life, let alone have any power to control his future, and at this moment, although he doesn't dare to say that the future is bright, but at least, he already has the little flame of hope, isn't it?

"The flowers that should be spent, the use of them, the time to save or not indulge, not arrogant, to be down-to-earth and steady, Grandpa A Jiu taught to keep a normal heart in case of trouble, to guard against arrogance and rashness......"

From the moment he came out of the valley, Lu Chen kept talking in his heart, admonishing himself. After experiencing such ups and downs, he was still able to maintain such an attitude, which may also be an important reason why Lu Chen survived as an orphan in a barren town at such a young age.

Lu Chen's mood at the moment was calm, he found his small medicine basket in the corner on the side, checked it, and the things in it were still there, and Lu Chen felt full of satisfaction in his heart. After sorting out the herbs in the medicine basket, he took out a small bag from it, and untied the string tied to the mouth of the bag, and there was a flash of golden light, and inside was a small bag of gold coins.

Lu Chen had never seen so much money, and the things given to him by the Qilin seniors in the Stone Valley were very precious, and they passed on his "Dao Law" and changed his future. But those are all "ethereal" things, although they all act on Lu Chen's body, and the way of its night shift is precious, but it can't be seen or touched, which finally makes Lu Chen feel a little pity in his heart, not down-to-earth.

The only precious treasure that is valuable in Lu Chen's eyes, the elixir, was snatched away by the jade tablet, and what is in front of him at this moment is a real gold coin, which really makes him feel that at this moment, he is also a "rich man", and his sense of happiness is almost to overwhelm Lu Chen's mind.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, smirked and counted the gold coins in the bag, over and over again, until he confirmed that he would not be wrong again, and then put the gold coins back in the bag, a total of thirty-two gold coins, which were Lu Chen's reward for leading Hua Qing and the others to the back mountain. They must have used up the gold coins on the way, and the bags were like they had leftovers.

However, Lu Chen didn't mind this at all, this was a great wealth for him, even if he himself had accumulated over the years as an apprentice in the medical hall, plus the money he had accumulated as a medicine picker, it was only ten gold coins. Ah Jiu Ye left some money for Lu Chen, but Lu Chen didn't plan to use it, that was the last thought of Ah Jiu Ye.

And Lu Chen just led the way for a few people in Huaqing, but he got such a high salary, which couldn't help but make Lu Chen smile, and his evaluation of Huaqing rose and rose in his heart.

Put the money bag away, and Lu Chen put his small medicine basket on his back.

This is the back mountain, Lu Chen still didn't dare to take it lightly, and after the joy, Lu Chen quickly focused on his current situation.

It's time for him to go down the mountain.

I don't know how long it took, but the people who went up the mountain at the same time must have already gone down the mountain and knew their situation.

"Brother Ding Nan should be able to make it clear to Grandpa Liu...... I don't know what the situation is now, so I need to go down the mountain as soon as possible to take a look......"

Especially Ding Nan, before going up the mountain, he told him everything, he must be careful, Lu Chen has not heard from him for so long, and he must be worried about death.

After thinking about it carefully, there really weren't many people close to him in the town. Grandpa Jiu, who loves him the most, is gone, and he is the only one left, and it can be said that he has not been bitter over the years, but fortunately, he has persevered.

At the same time, he is also very grateful to Ding Nan, a playmate who has always been by his side like a big brother, and has given him a lot of help.

"Perhaps, it's time to get out and see what's outside the town. The Qilin seniors also said that they can't be confined to a corner of the world, they have to broaden their horizons......" Lu Chen's mouth was full of words.

The scenery of the trees on both sides quickly swept backwards under Lu Chen's running, although he was anxious, but Lu Chen's feet still grasped a certain measure, and most of the roads he walked were wide areas, and he did not dare to approach the dense woods, and tried his best to control the sound to a minimum.

While running, Lu Chen's hand clenched a talisman that emitted golden light, and it was Lu Chen who had already taken out the prepared golden light talisman. Hua Qing had already explained the role and usage of this talisman when he gave it to him, and at this moment, it obviously gave Lu Chen an extra guarantee in his heart.

The back mountain is worthy of being a dangerous place for poisonous snakes and beasts, Lu Chen saw the ferocious forest scene within an hour of hurrying, the poisonous snakes were entrenched on the branches, their skin color was almost the same color as the bark, and in an instant they devoured the birds that flew over and stayed in the treetops, and there were strange reptiles with limbs that were pricked by the tail of an ordinary-looking scorpion, and in less than a breath, they fell to the ground and did not stand up again......

Lu Chen didn't dare to look at it more, and avoided these dangerous areas from a distance.

When I came to Houshan, I didn't think it was terrifying, and I even thought in my heart that the rumors here were likely to be exaggerated by the older generation.

But the fact is that when he entered the mountain, he was escorted by several cultivators, and Lu Chen's eyes couldn't see it, and he didn't know how many dangers were strangled in the cradle by a few escorted cultivators before they appeared, so Lu Chen was lucky enough to enter with his whole body.

But at this moment, the situation has obviously changed drastically, the situation is completely different, and it is obviously impossible for Lu Chen to be as easy as he came in.

After thinking about the key clearly, Lu Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, and secretly exhaled, it was really fateful that he could survive.

The pace did not stop, but the speed had slowed down a lot, and there were too many dangers in the forest, so Lu Chen had to cheer up his spirit. Lu Chen naturally knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and when he sees danger, he avoids it from afar, and he has not had any situation so far, which can be regarded as a thrill.

calculated the distance in his heart, according to his memory, he remembered the road he came to very clearly, and he always liked to do everything without omission, which became his capital to save his life.

According to the route, this place should be on the edge of the back mountain. In other words, Lu Chen will soon be able to get out of the back mountain. Not far away, it should be Xiaomen Lake.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a slight joy in his heart, and quickened his pace.

A quarter of an hour later,

Standing on the shore of Xiaomen Lake, the breeze gently brushed his face, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression that had been in his heart finally dispersed, only to feel that all this seemed unreal, it was too strange. But in the end, everything is going in a good direction.

Lu Chen had a sunny smile on his face, and then walked towards the road down the mountain behind the lake.
