In early spring, it is still cold, the vast mountains and forests are still shrouded in a white sky, and the majestic peaks seem to be snow-white ancient giants, exuding a desolate atmosphere.

In this icy and snowy land, a young man wrapped in animal skin is practicing martial arts.

His tricks are simple and clumsy, and he belongs to the kind of country tricks that the masters of the rivers and lakes can't look down on, but the speed of his strength is very powerful, enough to surprise most of the masters on the rivers and lakes.

Every move and style of his will set off a cold wind, and when his fists and feet are struck, there will be a dull buzzing sound, which is something that can only be done by the top masters who have exercised their bodies to the extreme, and they are only one step away from entering the ranks of grandmasters!

The sunlight after the snow became brighter and brighter, illuminating his solid muscles like a stone sculpture, and also shining the composure and firmness on his face. Although his face was still a little green, the calmness and composure between his eyebrows added a lot of momentum to him, as if he already had the demeanor of a master.

After practicing for a while, the boy followed a charge to a large tree, roared violently, and struck the trunk with a fist. I heard a bang, followed by a creaking and cracking sound, the tree with a trunk diameter of at least a foot slowly tilted, and many broken roots burst out of the soil on the ground, and the last big tree fell with a bang, and was knocked down by him with a punch!

"Alas!" A punch was so powerful, but Wu Xie didn't have a smile on his face, but sighed, sat on the stone on the side and groaned.

"The effect of ginseng calcining has almost reached the limit, and if you go down, you have to forcibly rush through the opening and closing knots to step into the innate - this is not possible, the step of entering the Dao must be completed with the cultivation method, otherwise it will be a crooked path, and it will take several times more time to make up for it in the future."

Jasmine once said that Wu Jie's body was full of qi and blood to the limit at this moment, and a pure yang qi was about to condense into substance. It's a pity that he hasn't found a suitable opportunity yet, otherwise he can ignite the pure yang with the heart fire, and he can turn into a pure yang true fire - the biggest advantage of this pure yang true fire is that it can burn through the key and can be used for him to further exercise his body, and the second is that he can restrain all kinds of evils, which can be called a protective weapon when walking the rivers and lakes.

But how to ignite the pure yang with the fire of the heart, Jasmine doesn't know how to do it......

"Now that I am physically at the peak of the acquired realm, I am comparable to those top masters who have been practicing hard for decades. But obviously there is such a strong force, but it can't be effectively exerted...... Although the punch just now fully exerted the strength of the arm, the strength of the torso of the body was only exerted at most seventy percent! ”

"In this way, it took months of hard training to do it, and as for what 'strength comes from the feet, with the waist as the pivot'...... I don't have a clue at all...... How can we make the most of our strength? ”

He asked Jasmine, but Jasmine really couldn't teach people, and it only made him more and more confused, so he had to bury his head in practice.

Now it seems that it is probably not enough to rely on yourself behind closed doors, but you still have to seek advice from those real martial arts masters.

However, when Wu Xie let out a long breath and stood up, when he looked around at the clearing where he had lived for almost four months, and looked at the traces of martial arts training left on the surrounding wood and stones, he still couldn't help but be a little hesitant.

Compared to four months ago, his strength has improved incredibly, and it can be said that it is heaven and earth.

Look at the big tree that fell to the ground not far away, how many people in the rivers and lakes can knock down such a tree with one fist?

It won't be a lot!

Wu Xie remembered that Du Tuanlian once told him that those who have the strength of a thousand catties in their arms and can lift a tree are enough to be called a master of the rivers and lakes, enough to move the world and shock the party.

Wu Xie believes that this "lifting the tripod" is definitely not the taller than the big tripod outside the martial arts temple in the county seat, and it is absolutely impossible to pull out the kind of big tree that a strong man can only hold with his arms outstretched - a person with that kind of strength is afraid that his arms are more than 10,000 catties.

"With my current strength, if I want to say that the tripod in the ancestral hall that boiled meat to worship the ancestors during the autumn sacrifice should be able to lift it; If you want to pull up a big tree with a thickness of a certain foot, you can probably pull it out...... In this way, I am also a master of the rivers and lakes? ”

Thinking about it carefully, although he has not been able to ignite the pure yang true fire now, although his tricks are still a little clumsy, he seems to have met the requirements of the master mentioned by Du Tuanlian, and he can probably be regarded as a master of the rivers and lakes, enough to dominate the world......

Since this is the case, then it is time to set out to seek immortals!

"Master, you should have left a long time ago, why did you waste so much time practicing martial arts!" Jasmine was a little hated and said, "What is there to practice in this mortal fight?" It doesn't help immortality at all! On the contrary, the better you practice, the more you lose your vitality...... If it weren't for the medicinal refining to replenish qi and blood, I'm afraid you would only have forty years left to live now! ”

Wu Xie smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "What do you think I need most now?" ”

"Seek eternal life!"

"So where do I go?"

"Blessed land, famous mountains and rivers, or go to the capital of a big country...... In short, all sects should leave clues in the world, as long as they have the heart, they will definitely be able to find them! Jasmine said loudly, "Most sects in the world recruit disciples like this!" ”

"Then I have to walk far, long distances, trek through mountains and rivers, and deal with all kinds of people...... What's so bad about practicing kung fu a little harder? ”

Jasmine pondered for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"Master, you're right! You should really practice kung fu! Seeking the Tao is not a dinner invitation, and it is normal to use knives with others, and when the time comes, if we are good at kung fu, we will kill others with a knife, and the opportunity is ours! ”

Wu Xie pursed his lips, noncommittal about Jasmine's violent tendencies.

After packing his luggage, Wu took off the animal skins that were used as a shield for his body, changed back into the clothes sewn by his mother, and walked in the opposite direction from when he entered the mountain.

Unlike when he came, now he is as light as a swallow and his movements are vigorous, one step is worth ten steps of ordinary people, and he does not need to take a detour when he encounters obstacles, and he even climbs and jumps over it, and is even more agile and brisk than the apes in the mountains.

The reckless mountains and forests are no longer an obstacle for him at this moment, and climbing the mountains and mountains is like walking on flat ground.

When he first entered the mountain, he walked for five days, but when he came out of the mountain, he only walked for half a day, and before the sun set in the west, he had already left this forest that had been hidden for four months, and returned to the road outside the mountain.

If you return to the town now, you will probably have time to go home for dinner, but Wu Xie is not in a hurry to go home, but runs along the avenue in the direction of the county seat.

Of course, he can't tell his parents about the tempering of his body, so when he gets home, he can only "seek immortals for four months and get nothing". Wu Xie didn't want to disappoint his parents, so he had to go back at least with some of the gains on the surface.

Now Wu Xie is simply faster than a horse, and when it was slightly dark, he had already come to the outside of the county.

Naturally, the city gate had been closed, but this did not bother him, the city wall of the county was only less than two zhang high, and he jumped on it and easily entered the city.

Wu Xie had followed his father to the county seat before, but he was familiar with the road, and he came to the only pharmacy in the county with three turns and two turns, and took out a "mountain ginseng" from the medicine basket behind him, saying that he wanted to sell it.

This ginseng of origin in the Tianshu World Realm is of the highest quality, the entire torso is half a foot, and the main trunk is thicker than the thumb, which is really a rare product. The guy from the pharmacy was stunned after just one look, and after a while, he came back to his senses and hurriedly led Wu Xie to see the shopkeeper - such a ginseng is expensive, and he can't decide such a big deal with a young man!

"Nephew Wu Xian, I heard that I went out to seek immortals last autumn, and it seems that the harvest is not small!" The shopkeeper of the pharmacy, Mr. Wang, was very familiar with Wu Xie and was very cordial, and he couldn't see the arrogance of Dr. Wu when he came to sell medicine, "I don't know that this ginseng is a gift from an immortal?" ”

Although Wu Xie didn't understand why he was asking such a question, he didn't lie, shook his head frankly, and replied, "How can an immortal be so easy to meet!" I searched in the mountains for several months, but I only found this one ginseng. I thought that I would always bring something to my father and mother when I went out, so I planned to sell it and sell something back. ”

Shopkeeper Wang nodded again and again, but a subtle cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"The virtuous nephew is really filial! It seems that God also treats filial people well, so you can get such a good ginseng! He smiled kindly, and his words were full of sincerity, "Uncle, I have always been fair in business, and Tong Su is not bullied." This ginseng is of the highest quality and is enough to become the treasure of the store. I'm willing to give out eight hundred taels of silver, what do you think? ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but be stunned, he remembered that this Wang shopkeeper was a well-known miser, a few years ago when he followed his father to sell medicine, he was picked by this guy with his nose and eyes, and he was stunned to say that the best medicinal materials were worthless, and the price was naturally pressed again and again, if it weren't for the big brother Du pre-appearing, the medicinal materials that should have been worth hundreds of taels of silver could only be sold for half the price...... Why did this guy change his temper today?

He knows the market of ginseng, and the ginseng is divided into five products, and the price is increasing one by one. The first product is called treasure, and the second product is said to be treasured, all of which are rare things, and they have no price. The three-grade ginseng can be exchanged for 120 times the full-grain silver, the fourth-grade ginseng can be exchanged for 80 times the silver, and the five-grade ginseng can be exchanged for 50 times the silver. The five grades below are called miscellaneous ginseng, which can only be exchanged for fifteen times the amount of silver, and it cannot be exchanged for full silver.

The quality of his ginseng should have reached the third grade, weighing less than six taels or seven dollars, and the bid of eight hundred taels of silver was indeed very reasonable. But according to the temperament of this old profiteer, it is normal to press it to the fourth or even fifth grade, and this time he actually offered such a kind price - if it wasn't for the fact that it was already dark, Wu Xie really wanted to go outside to see if the sun was rising from the west today!

No matter how much he doubted in his heart, Wu Xie would not be able to get along with the money, so he immediately agreed to the price.

It's just that there is not so much cash in the store, so the shopkeeper Wang asked Wu Xie to stay at his house for a night, and when it was dawn the next day, he went to the money village to get the silver, and then delivered.

Wu Xie had no objection to this, thanked him, and went to a side room to live under the leadership of his buddy.

The man was very attentive, first helped him fetch water, washed his face and hands, and after a while brought him a hot meal, which was even more attentive than the inn. Wu Xie has been sleeping in the open these days, and today he was finally able to sleep well on the fluffy and soft bed, and fell asleep beautifully after lying down for a while.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang showed a cold smile in his room.
