Yunchen didn't go to participate in the semi-annual thousand-kilogram assessment, because he knew that he couldn't reach it anyway, he only had six levels of training strength now, and if he wanted to break a thousand kilograms, he needed ten gravity, and he was still far behind.

After coming to Wucheng for half a year, his money has been exhausted, and there are still five hundred gold left, if he uses these five hundred gold, he will not even have a place to live in Wucheng, or even money for food.

Wucheng is a city, and it is also a high-consumption city, where you live, the food is generally much more expensive than outside. Yunchen only needs ten taels to live outside for one night, but here he asks for one gold, one gold is equal to one hundred taels, that is, ten times the price, ordinary people can't afford to live at all.

Of course, you can also work in Wucheng to earn money, and the pay is much higher than outside, in fact, this is the way out for most poor warriors. Of course, once you go to work, you will have less time for cultivation, and the gap between you and others will only get bigger and bigger.

Yunchen is inspired to surpass Xiao Hongfei, he is not afraid of hardship, but this alone is far from enough, his talent is not within his reach, he needs money, he needs medicinal materials, so he wants to earn money.

In Yunsang City, he is the young master of the Yun family, and he doesn't have to work, so he doesn't know anything, but he can't sit still.

So what can you do yourself?

Yunchen thought about it, and finally thought of a job with little technical content - collecting medicine.

Wucheng also has a pharmacy, and the way to the pharmacy naturally needs someone to pick it, and the medicinal materials can be sold to the pharmacy at a price lower than the market price, after all, other medicine stores also want to make money.

Yunchen doesn't know anything, but he doesn't know a lot of medicinal herbs, because his father is actually half a doctor. Since he was a child, he followed his father to pick up medicines for patients, so he was very clear about the value and nature of many medicinal materials.

It's just that the medicine is collected in Mangdang Mountain, there is a great risk, how many people hunt, and there are countless people who have died in Mangdang Mountain.

However, others can have a choice, but Yunchen has no choice, he has to go, because he has no way out, and if he retreats, he will be wasted. Moreover, the path of a warrior is already full of thorns, and if you retreat at the first risk, it will not achieve anything.

The gate of Wucheng, Yunchen registered his name and wrote his intentions, the guards at the city gate were a little indifferent, don't look at them as just guards, but they are also masters of the Qi realm. Generally, those who work in Wucheng are disciples who have graduated from Wucheng, and so are the guards.

The guard said, "You can collect medicine in a team with other disciples in Wucheng." ”

Hearing this, Yunchen shook his head, he would not join others, although the risk factor was greatly increased, he was unwilling, because compared to the people in Wucheng, ninety percent of the people were not opponents, if once he found good medicinal materials, he could only give them away. The strength is not as good as others, and it may even die at the hands of others.

Martial City disciples are not allowed to kill each other, that is the rule in Martial City, a disciple from an outer city dies outside, and no one will know if it is rotten.

"I'm alone!" Yunchen said.

"Alone?" the guard was a little surprised, but he wouldn't ask more, he had seen a lot of this kind of stunned youth. Mangdang Mountain runs through the entire southwest region, and the danger is not a joke.

The guard said indifferently, "I won't ask if you insist on being alone, but I want to remind you that the fierce beasts of Mangdang Mountain are rampant, and you are good to do it." ”

"Thank you!" Yunchen arched his hand.

"Get out of town when you're ready!"

This guard's deliberate reminder is considered kind, and most people will not remind it. Yunchen can't care so much, he needs money now, and then impact the ten gravity of the training body, and only by entering the inner city can he be considered a real martial city disciple.

Because the core resources of Wucheng, the cultivation ground, and the inheritance of martial arts are all in the inner city. As for the outer city, except for the gravity array in the concentration of the school field, it is relatively useful, and the other auxiliary cultivation is all chicken ribs.

It's no wonder, because the disciples in the outer city are all in the physical training stage, and other cultivation places can't be used for them. Therefore, Yunchen wanted to break through the ten gravity of the training body in the fastest time and enter the inner door. If he couldn't even enter the inner door, how could he catch up with Xiao Hongfei.

Mangdang Mountain, Wucheng was established on the border of the Great Yan Dynasty, backed by Mangdang Mountain, so out of Wucheng is Mangdang Mountain.

Yunchen naturally only dared to collect medicine in the outermost part of Mangdang Mountain, even the outermost part made him feel a little creepy, and sometimes he would encounter corpse wolves.

Corpse wolves are first-order fierce beasts that feed on carrion, and it is normal to see them on the periphery of Mangdang Mountain, because they do not have a fixed area of activity.

When encountering a fierce beast like a corpse wolf, Yunchen can only hide, either go up a tree, or hide in a dirt hollow, and wait for the corpse wolf to leave before coming out cautiously.

The corpse wolf already belongs to a first-order fierce beast, and its strength is comparable to that of a martial artist in the human Qi training realm, and Yunchen is still far from being able to deal with it.

With a breath, Yunchen jumped down from the tree and walked to a huge lake and squatted down.

The calm lake reflected his figure in his eyes, his face was a little dirty because of the collection of medicines, and he carried a medicine basket behind his back.

From the morning to now, he only picked a few worthless medicinal herbs, and he didn't even find the manganese grass for external injuries, he was a little depressed, thinking of the grievances he had suffered during this time, tears fell uncontrollably.

Watching the tears fall and ripple on the surface of the lake, Yunchen gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, his nails sunk into his palms, and a trace of blood flowed out of his palms.

After some time, he touched the surface of the lake with his hand to wash away the blood on his hands, and he was thirsty and wanted to take a sip of the lake.

Just as he was about to take the lake water to drink, he saw that the blood on the surface of the lake that had been left by his washing palm instantly sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared, and a black beam of light flashed at the bottom of the lake at that moment.

"Huh?"

Yunchen frowned, this lake is very calm, it is an ordinary lake, the lake water is extremely clear, the bottom of the lake is about a zhang deep, and a beam of black light flashed at the bottom of the lake just now is emitted from under the rock that is pressing on the bottom of the lake, he will not be mistaken.

"What treasures are there at the bottom of the lake?"

This kind of thinking made Yunchen smart, he hadn't heard that some lucky people became out of control after encountering some natural treasures, could it be that God knew his difficulties and gave himself a big gift?

In the case of extreme depression, people will think in a good direction when they find anything strange, because they think that they are weak enough, and anything strange will treat it as a treasure, and it is obvious that Yunchen is such a person.

He put down the medicine basket, then undressed, only a large trouser was left, and then held his breath and sank directly to the bottom of the lake. He saw the rock, the rock was very large, estimated to be hundreds of catties, and the difficulty of turning it over at the bottom of the lake was one foot deep.

Yunchen used his strength to feed at the bottom of the lake and only moved the rocks a little, because the breath was not enough, he had to surface and gasp for breath, and when he had enough breath, he sank to the bottom of the lake again and continued to move the rocks.

Back and forth, he surfaced four or five times, and finally moved the rock out of the way, and there was a place underneath it.

"A piece of paper?"

Yunchen frowned, grabbed the black paper and quickly surfaced, and then began to gasp again.

"Hoo ......"

Yunchen took a deep breath and looked at the black paper dragging in his hand, the black paper was very light, light without even a trace of weight, it was not soaked with water, or there was not even a trace of water on the black paper.

"Strange!"

It is common sense that things like paper melt when they meet fire and penetrate when they meet water, and obviously this is not an ordinary piece of paper.

Through the sunlight, Yunchen looked at it, there seemed to be some very small runes on the black paper, dense, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully, but even if Yunchen looked at it, he couldn't understand it.

The only reason that made Yunchen feel that this was not a mortal thing was that there was a trace of black gas exuding from this paper, and the black gas was constantly overflowing, this black gas made him feel a little uneasy, because he seemed to feel evil, and the blood he had just shed should have been absorbed by it.

Once people have obsessions, they will fall into a daze, Yunchen once thought that this black paper must be extraordinary, it is a treasure, he forgot to collect medicine, and has been staring at the black paper to study, but he didn't see the reason until dark.

"It's dark!"

Yunchen was unwilling, so he could only put away the black paper and return to the city with the medicine basket on his back, he didn't have the confidence to stay in Mangdang Mountain at night. During the day, Mangdang Mountain is relatively calm, so whether it is a medicine picker or a hunter, it will be carried out during the day, once it is night, it is the real ferocious beasts that are rampant, because the night is the time for fierce beasts to hunt.

"Senior brother, I'm here to register and return to the city!"

Yunchen came to the gate of Wucheng to register, and the guards here were all disciples of Wucheng, so the new disciples all called them senior brothers.

The guard glanced at him, not surprised and still a little indifferent, but when he saw the medicine basket behind Yun Chen, he shook his head, as he estimated, Yun Chen would not collect any valuable medicinal materials, and the few medicinal herbs in the medicine basket were basically worthless.

This is also reasonable, after all, you can't expect a disciple who is still practicing his body to go into the depths of Mangdang Mountain to collect medicine, although the medicinal materials are precious, they are also dangerous and abnormal, and there are countless powerful demon beasts.

"Let's go inside!" the guard said casually, registering him.

Yunchen arched his hand and said, "Thank you, senior brother!"

Returning to the residence, Yunchen still didn't give up and took out the black paper to look left and right, and even took out the fire lamp to burn it directly, as he expected, this black paper is indeed invulnerable, this is not a treasure He doesn't believe it.

It's just a pity that he doesn't know what this black paper is for, he first stood and watched, then sat and watched, and finally simply lay on the bed and didn't give up.

However, when he fell asleep, he had a strange dream.
