Waking up from the dream, Li Ding didn't know where he was, there was darkness all around, and he couldn't see his five fingers. However, the faint smell of medicine made him realize that he was in the pharmacy, but what surprised him was that he was not under the Broken Sword Cliff?

Weakness and a little swollen in his mind, Li Ding touched the bed in the dark, and after exploring it with his hands, he touched the door of the pharmacy according to the position of the table and chair in his memory.

There was no moonlight, and it was also dark outside the door, as if the entire Lingyan Mountain was in darkness at this moment.

"Twitter......"

Suddenly, a strange cry sounded in Li Ding's ears, and after a moment of surprise, he carefully identified it but heard nothing.

Sitting down against the door panel, the cold ground did not make Li Ding feel uncomfortable, but cleared his swollen mind. For a moment, he remembered the scene that happened under the Broken Sword Cliff, and his heart was shocked. However, when he reached out to his chest, he didn't find anything abnormal except for some pain, and even the discomfort caused by the strange air mass after Qiyuan disappeared.

After calming down, Li Ding got up and went back to the pharmacy and lit the candle.

Under the flickering light, Li Ding suddenly felt more and more powerless. The grade of vitality in his body was too low, making it impossible for him to practice normally. Huayang pointed him to a way to live, but is this path really his future?

Maybe in the eyes of the head man's father, he just wants him to live a peaceful life like this, but Li Ding has seen a corner of this world. In this world, no strength means that you will be slaughtered at will, even if you don't provoke others, you will be attacked at any time for an inexplicable reason, and human life may be the least valuable thing in this world.

Walking towards the bookshelf, his fingers swiped over the rows of scrolls and classics, and Li Ding's eyes suddenly became firm.

Time always flies, and when the sky gradually shows the whiteness of the fish's belly, Li Ding blows out the candle flame that burns most of it.

His face was haggard, but his eyes were shining, and holding an old scroll in his hand, Li Ding's hand trembled slightly.

"Squeaky ......"

The door of the concealed room was opened, Hua Yang's chubby figure appeared at the door, and when he saw Li Ding sitting at the table on the ground, Hua Yang was obviously stunned, and then walked over and smiled excitedly: "Awake?"

Li Ding hurriedly stood up and responded: "Yes, Li Ding was seriously injured this time, it must be the master of Huatang again, you tried your best to save it, thank you." ”

After Hua Yang sat down, he smiled and said: "Thank you, I actually didn't do anything, I thought that the air mass in your body was harmful to you, but this time it was this air mass that saved your life, if it weren't for that air mass, you might have died directly under Yuan Fei's men." ”

As he spoke, Huayang told Li Ding in detail about what he was saying, and Li Ding knew that he had been in a coma for five days. Thinking that it was a fluke to save his life, Li Ding couldn't help but sigh, but he felt that Xue Yun was a little wronged, but fortunately, it was okay and had been taken to his master Liu Yun.

"Air mass? I don't know anything. Hearing that he had broken two ribs, Li Ding exclaimed.

"That air mass is extremely strange, according to my analysis, at least it was a powerhouse who reached the Xuankong Realm who broke into your body, I guess you must have had some adventures when you were a child, right?" Hua Yang asked.

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, sat down and briefly told Huayang about his life experience, Huayang pondered for a moment and said: "Are you an abandoned baby? It's hard to say, but after this time, that air mass seems to have become much thinner than before, which makes me not know whether it's good or bad." ”

Li Ding smiled bitterly and said, "Leave it to fate, it's just that now I haven't even found my own trace of activation vitality, but I have such a strange qi mass in my body." ”

"Don't think too much about it, cultivation is like this, everything is difficult at the beginning, and you can't rush it. Huayang comforted.

Li Ding suddenly picked up the scroll in his hand and opened it and said, "Master Huatang, I saw this on this scroll, is this true?"

Hua Yang's face turned pale, and after taking the scroll and taking a closer look, he said slowly: "As recorded on this scroll, this Aoki real person is indeed a person, and it is said that he only has the Yuan Qi of the wood surname, but he has reached the height of the Xuankong Realm. ”

"I've also read in another book that it is said that high-grade exercises can make up for the lack of too low Yuan Qi grade, is this true?" Li Ding stood up excitedly and said.

"Oh. Huayang was taken aback, and said with a smile: "It seems that you kid has read a lot of classics during this time, and this statement is also true, but if you want to make up for the lack of Yuan Qi grade, it is said that only the exercises that reach the heavenly grade can be done, but although there are many heavenly exercises on the continent now, I have never heard of the heavenly exercises with the surname Mu." ”

However, Hua Yang's words did not make Li Ding's excitement weaken a little, but instead picked up another scroll from his side and handed it to Hua Yang and said, "Please take a look at this place." ”

Taking the scroll, Hua Yang only looked at it with empty eyes, and couldn't help but open his eyes and said in surprise: "Shenmu Yuanjue! I said, how can you kid read some strange theories?"

"Isn't there such an exercise in this world?" Looking at Huayang's appearance, Li Ding said hurriedly.

Huayang took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and said: "That's just a legend, because it's a technique owned by the Wood Spirit God Yuanyu, maybe this exercise did exist tens of thousands of years ago, but it's not something that the world can spy on." ”

"Is that so?" Li Ding's eyes finally showed a little disappointment.

"But the world is unpredictable, that kind of legendary thing may only be dreamed of, but since there is a wood surname exercise of earth quality on this continent, maybe there is really a wood surname exercise that has reached the heavenly quality. Huayang Road.

These words somewhat comforted Li Ding, and Li Ding also understood that he had some wishful thinking before. In an instant, Li Ding's mood calmed down.

"Is it that if I haven't made progress in the realm before Menqing, I can't stay in Jinguangmen. Relieved his mood, Li Ding asked this long-suppressed question.

This time, Huayang was silent, and after a long time, he said lightly: "It can be seen that your kid has never given up on becoming a cultivator, which is why I made you a registered disciple of the Medicine Hall." But...... Your vitality is really not suitable for cultivation, and that's why I asked you to learn to be a pharmacist. ”

"Master Huatang's kindness to Li Ding, Li Ding will always remember it, but I can't be sorry for Yu Lao's expectations, I won't give up no matter what. Li Ding said indifferently.

"Yes, then how are you going to survive in the future? I'll make it clear, with your situation, the Qing people will not accept you. If one day there really appeared in this world, you might have already died. ”

Huayang's words made Li Ding's already calm mood ripple again, and he was stunned for a while.

In fact, Li Ding has been in a state of confusion during this time. Being rescued in the sea made him look forward to the world like a new life, and Yu Lao's teaching made him feel that he would never live an ordinary life. However, since entering the Golden Light Gate, although the series of blows did not completely break his confidence, they also exhausted him.

"Elder Yu said that if you endure everything, is this another kind of test?" Li Ding whispered silently.

"Life is impermanent, maybe you don't understand it now, but in the future you will think it's all worth it. I don't know when, Huayang has already stood behind Li Ding, and after patting Li Ding on the shoulder with one hand, he said, "Go and rest, there is a yuan coin here, I hope you can really cheer up in the next day." ”

Taking the small black stone in Huayang's hand, Li Ding held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and walked out of the door of the pharmacy under Huayang's eager gaze.

The sun was already shining outside the door, looking at the mountains and forests in front of him, suddenly Li Ding had a very strange feeling, and this feeling he had experienced.

It was on top of the wooden building in Seacliff Town, and for the first time, the ignorant teenager had a goal to live. At this time, although his mood changed again, his perseverance was not reduced at all, and between the mountains and forests, Li Ding shouted loudly: "I will definitely live a good life......

In the next few days, those who knew Li Ding and those who didn't know him knew that there was really a madman in the pharmacy.

In addition to going up the mountain to collect medicines, Li Ding's figure only appeared between the canteen and the pharmacy, but more often he just buried his head in those medical classics, when the other teenagers in the pharmacy shook their heads at those pharmacopoeia medical books with bitter faces, Li Ding began to read without sleep and food.

For those who can understand, he will carefully memorize, if he forgets and go back to read it several times, and for those who do not understand, he will immediately find other pharmacopoeias to refer to and analyze; if he really can't understand, he will grab a person next to him and ask questions until he understands it.

Gradually, some people in the pharmacy began to avoid him, because many times the questions he asked couldn't even be answered by these people who thought they were seniors, so he could only wait for Huayang to answer him when he was free, but gradually even Huayang was a little annoyed.

But there will always be results after hard work, and slowly Li Ding found that those things that he couldn't understand before seemed much simpler now.

Others will not know, in the face of those various classics that have not yet been read, Li Ding thinks more and more that his approach is not wrong. Finally, a confident smile appeared on his face once more.
