Beneath the silver-white canopy peculiar to the outer enchantment, a dense forest stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Woo ......"

Suddenly, a sound similar to a dog's barking came from the dense forest, accompanied by the shaking of tree branches, startling a string of birds, and a black figure rushed from the hill.

From a distance, I saw the black figure, a red-clothed girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a ponytail tied at the back of her head, and a short skirt with wide sleeves at the waist, looked up with a smile, and saw that her appearance was Hua Rong.

When the black figure approached, he saw that it was Li Ding, a young man with a thin face, and saw that he was carrying a small basket woven of rattan in his hand, which contained several fist-sized eggs covered with brown spots.

Looking at Li Ding's appearance, Hua Rong smiled cutely and asked him, "Why do you only know how to steal eggs, and you are not tired of thirty yuan coins?"

"This is the easiest, I don't have any skills except to run faster. I couldn't find the herbs that had reached the spirit level, and I couldn't grab those ordinary herbs, so I had to target the young spirit beasts. Hearing Hua Rong's question, Li Ding wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and replied.

"Whoever told you not to ask me to help, you have to do it yourself. Hua Rong looked at Xiao Yunei with disgust, and suddenly showed off her eyes, and said hurriedly: "Why do you only get so many dozen eggs a day?" As he spoke, he handed a cloth bag to Li Ding.

Faintly, Li Ding smelled a pure medicinal fragrance, obviously the herbs in the cloth bag were not ordinary, but Li Ding smiled and said: "I still don't want it, you can accompany me is already the greatest help." Although I can't find the herbs on my own yet, I think going back and forth like this is another kind of practice, and if you keep helping me like this, aren't you afraid that my progress will become slower and slower?"

"Well, seeing you running around like this, you can really exercise. But what if you don't have a yuan coin, you really can't get together thirty eggs, you won't just eat these eggs, right? Senior Sister Ye is too, she didn't come after calling a few times, if she comes to Baoshan, you can pick the herbs here casually. I don't know now that she's a cultivator, and I'm not at all. ”

"Ye Xinyi?" Hearing Hua Rong mention this delicate-looking girl, Li Ding couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, but changed the topic and said: "In the tribe before, I used to go up the mountain with my father to collect bird eggs, but I never thought that one day I would be able to eat the eggs of the spirit beast, and I don't know what the eggs of this winged dog beast taste?"

Hearing this, Hua Rong also smiled mysteriously and said, "It turns out that you have thought so for a long time, but I haven't eaten this egg before, or you will know if you cook it and eat one." ”

"Okay, if it's delicious, I won't use it for dollars in the future. Li Ding smiled, but Li Ding was very dissatisfied with his harvest of the day.

Previously, Li Ding only knew that gold coins and herbs could be exchanged for yuan coins, but he didn't know that one gold coin could only be exchanged for five yuan coins, and one yuan coin could only be exchanged for two days of food. At first, Li Ding was shocked, it was a gold coin, and he had to use several fish skin clothes to get it when he was in the tribe.

Thinking of the head man and his father, who had used a few gold coins to send the teenagers of the tribe to the mainland, Li Ding never understood why this was when he was a child, and now he knew that trying to practice turned out to be very expensive.

It was getting dark, and the time for the outer barrier to reopen was getting closer and closer, and with that, the two of them walked towards the outside of the valley.

After a period of time, Li Ding has fully integrated into the life of Jinguangmen.

The morning class at every time is actually a time for the disciples to continue to study the exercises and martial arts. The rest of the time, Li Ding is reading, practicing, collecting medicines, everything is the same as other registered disciples, the only difference is that there is always a beautiful girl like Hua Rong by his side.

After experiencing the Broken Sword Cliff, Li Ding originally thought that he would become less when he was with Hua Rong, because it is said that the fourth elder Liu Yun's surname is a little weird, and he is always a little blind to men, plus Liu Yun loves Hua Rong a lot, which is better than Hua Yang.

If Liu Yun knew that he was just a waste, he would not agree to Hua Rong having anything to do with him, but to Li Ding's surprise, when he first appeared in front of Liu Yun, this woman who was rumored to be extremely strange didn't seem to have any opinion on him, but she didn't look at him from beginning to end.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed quietly, and although Li Ding was not starved to death, he also suffered a lot. Now he knew that the eggs of spirit beasts were not to be eaten, that thing not only tasted extremely bad, but also could be poisonous, and if he ate it, he would have to pull it up for several days if he was not careful.

Thinking of Hua Rong's mysterious smile when it came to eating eggs that day, what Li Ding didn't expect was that this cute little girl also had quirky times.

There was still no progress in cultivation, and the trace of activation vitality seemed to be as erratic as playing hide and seek with Li Ding. Several times, Li Ding had already found traces of it in the meridians, but it disappeared again in an instant.

At first, Huayang also tried to use his own vitality to help Li Ding explore, but found that when he controlled the vitality into Li Ding's body, the more difficult it became to activate the vitality.

Gradually, Li Ding finally understood that cultivation was always dominated by personal ability, and he believed that one day he would definitely find out the trace of activation vitality, but now he couldn't know the exact date.

Although he was nervous in the past, it made Li Ding's mood relax a little, but as he got closer and closer to the door celebration of Jinguangmen, the suppressed emotions were somewhat uplifted, after all, Li Ding clearly knew that maybe he was not far from leaving Jinguangmen.

Between this, coupled with what Hua Yang had said before, with Li Ding's surname, even if he can only be a pharmacist, he must be the best, so in addition to those scrolls and books, Li Ding also learned and learned all the herbs and spiritual objects he could see, in order to survive in this world in the future, because maybe he will encounter a high-grade wood surname exercise one day, and then his future will take a big turn.

It may just be a dream, but Li Ding doesn't mind having such a beautiful dream.

....................................

At the main hall of the Golden Light Gate, the gate is closed at this time.

In the hall, six people sat on two sides, five of them were old men with the surname of men, and the remaining one was a woman.

The woman was wearing a green shirt and sat on the bottom, with a melon seed face, bright eyes, eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and her skin was white and moist, but it was not difficult to see from her eyebrows that her real collar should be more than that.

It's just that this charming woman is a bald head, and if you look closely, her appearance is somewhat similar to the bald old man opposite. The bald old man was Ye Xinyi's master, the third elder Liu Yu, and the woman was Xue Yun and Hua Rong's master, the fourth elder Liu Yun.

Among the six people, Hu Yishu, the hall master of Tianyuan Hall, sat at the head of the right, and opposite sat a long-bearded elder, who was none other than the Great Elder Qiu Zhengyi. Ye Lianhai, who had a feminine face, and an old man with a strong figure and a square face with obvious wrinkles on his face sat opposite each other in the second seat, and the old man's exposed arms were muscular, strong and fit, and it was Xu Wuzhou, the master of Tianwu Hall.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Qiu, Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister Liu. Hu Yishu, who was sitting in the first place on the right, looked at the five people around him, and said after calling them in turn: "This time the master of the door has been in retreat for four months, presumably during the door celebration, it will not be easy to go out, and the fifth day of the next month is the son of Zongqing, I don't know what else you have to explain about the reception." ”

"Why didn't that guy from Huayang come again?" Xu Wuzhou, who was sitting next to Hu Yishu, said, his loud voice shocked people's eardrums, but then he said: "It's okay if you don't come, that guy can't do business." ”

Here, Qiu Zhengyi smiled slightly and said, "The celebration is approaching, Senior Brother Hua naturally has to prepare some more pills." He said to Hu Yishu and continued: "What else can we explain about the door celebration, for so many years, as long as the door master has something to do or retreat, all matters are handled by Senior Brother Hu, and there is nothing to worry about with you, the big housekeeper." ”

Liu Yu, who was at the bottom of the head, continued: "I have also arranged the people who patrol the guards, and Senior Brother Hu can rest assured of this." ”

"Thank you for your trouble. Hu Yishu said to everyone, "When the time comes, there should be a lot of idle people who go up the mountain to watch the ceremony, according to the experience of previous years, some loose cultivators from other places will also come to join in the fun, which will trouble Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Ye." ”

Xu Wuzhou nodded with a serious expression and replied, "Well, Senior Brother Lianhai and I will pay more attention to prevent those with ulterior motives from making trouble." Listening to Xu Wuzhou's words, Ye Lianhai also nodded slightly.

On the side, Liu Yun saw that everyone else had already done their own duties, and Hu Yishu was looking at him, but he stood up and said, "I will take special care of Yuanwu Pavilion, and you don't need to explain this." There was a coldness in his words, as if he didn't want to say more to Hu Yishu.

Hearing Liu Yun's words, Hu Yishu was obviously stunned, so he had to shake his head and say no more. On the side, Ye Lianhai and Qiu Zhengyi glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

Beside Liu Yun, Liu Yu's face was also a little ugly, and he wanted to say something, but he finally held back. Instead, Ye Lianhai stood up and said: "Don't say anything, there are still ten days until the fifth day of the next month, I think everyone should do what they should do." After speaking, he smiled weirdly, and his eyes turned between Hu Yishu and Liu Yun.

Hu Yishu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "What do you think I'm doing?" On the other side, Liu Yun was slightly angry, flicked his long sleeves, and pushed the door away.

"As long as you talk a lot, the boss is not small, and he still plays. Seeing Liu Yun go out, Xu Wuzhou said to Ye Lianhai. Ye Lianhai twitched his face, and muttered in a low voice: "Back then, there were fewer words, if a few of you could say a few more words, Senior Brother Liu might also become an uncle and grandfather." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yu's face trembled, but several other people looked at Hu Yishu at the same time, but when they saw him, he quickly walked towards the small door on the edge of the main hall after he brushed his eight-character beard.
