In the dilapidated courtyard, the old bricklayer and the old bricklayer's son sat on both sides of the small wooden table under the eaves and looked at each other.

For ordinary people, this is already a very rare 'banquet'.

The old bricklayer's fingers, which had been polished very rough by time and life, rubbed on the small wooden table for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "First?"

The bricklayer's son on the opposite side nodded and repeated, "First!"

Father and son, you look at me, I look at you, but after a while, they burst out laughing, this father and son are naturally Xingyuan Mountain and Xingtian.

"Boy, you really gave your father a long face, the first in Xuewutang, my father couldn't think of it before, that means you beat that kid from the Xu family?"

"Dad, it's just a fight, do you understand? Don't talk about it like a child fighting. Xingtian said helplessly.

"Nonsense, Dad naturally knows that Dad also participated in several martial arts exams back then, but after a long time, he didn't practice kung fu and was wasted. Xing Yuanshan glanced at Xing Tian, and then said: "But although my father can't do it, I have such a good son as you, son, my father knows that you have suffered a lot to get to this point today!"

After speaking, the smile on Xing Yuanshan's face slowly retracted, but there was a hint of guilt again.

His family's family in the village is considered poor, and even the Lu Meng family, who is good friends with Xingtian, although they are not rich and rich, eats meat every day, and occasionally eats some pills to strengthen the bones and body. It's like your own family, a strong bone pill is already spent on your savings, not to mention big fish and meat every day.

"It's all useless for my father, and I can't give you better conditions......" Xing Yuanshan sighed.

"Dad, the family is poor and arrogant, what about the brocade clothes and delicacies, I think there is nothing wrong with our family, come, happy today, my son will accompany you for a drink!" Xing Tian saw that his father was about to blame himself again, but he hurriedly took over the conversation.

One old and one young, coarse tea and light rice, the country tile courtyard, but it is happy. After eating and drinking, Xing Yuanshan went back to his room to rest, and Xing Tian also returned to his room and took out the quenching pill.

A product of quenching pills, the pills taken by martial artists in the quenching period, but for martial artists who have not yet quenched their bodies, it has the effect of improving their skills. And if it is a martial artist who is about to quench the body, this quenching pill can increase the success rate.

In short, this is a body refining pill that is more precious than the Strong Bone Pill and the Small Qi and Blood Pill.

"The pill is divided into nine grades, and the first grade is the lowest, but no matter how low it is, it is also a quenching pill, but I don't know how it compares to the water in the purple gourd?" Xing Tian looked at the fragrant pill in his hand, and he had an idea, but he also took out the purple gourd.

There is still more than half of the purple water in the gourd, and when the cork is removed, there is also a fragrance, but it is much lighter than a quenching pill.

And at this moment, something happened that Xingtian did not expect.

Xingtian, who was holding the pill in one hand and the purple gourd in the other, felt a very small vibration from the purple gourd, and before Xingtian could react, an inexplicable suction force came from the mouth of the gourd, but it directly sucked the quenching pill into the gourd.

"Not good!"

Xingtian was shocked, that product of the Quenching Pill was not easy to come by, if it melted in the water, it would be troublesome, maybe it would ruin a precious pill in vain.

It's just that when he looked at it, he felt a chill in his heart, where was there still an elixir in the purple gourd, and the quenching pill actually melted into the purple water in an instant.

"How can this be?" Xing Tian stood on the spot, but he quickly reacted, this purple gourd had just inhaled the quenching pill on its own, which was simply terrifying.

Xingtian didn't know anything about the origin of the purple gourd, in Xingtian's opinion, he could have today's achievements all because of this purple gourd, and now this kind of abnormal change is not known whether it is good or bad.

At this moment, the purple gourd is still like that, as if what just happened is just an illusion of Xingtian.

"Weird, is it too weird, could it be that this gourd is a living thing? Seeing the Quenching Pill is like seeing a delicacy, so I swallowed it directly?" But no matter what, the purple gourd has not changed, but the precious one-grade quenching pill fell into the gourd and was integrated into the purple water.

"I don't know if the pill will have any effect after it melts, if not, then I'll lose a lot!" Sighing, Xingtian stuffed the wooden cork back into the mouth of the gourd and put away the purple gourd.

If the pill is gone, it will be gone, Xingtian can only consider himself unlucky, but fortunately, the purple water in the purple gourd is not much worse than the quenching pill, and if you keep drinking it like this, you can also achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The night was dark, and Xingtian was a little tired, so he just lay down and went to sleep.

On the second day, Xing Tian got up as usual, waited until he had breakfast, and his father left, then he came back and took out the purple gourd again, ready to drink a sip of purple water and start practicing.

But as soon as he took the gourd, Xingtian was stunned.

The gourd was much lighter than yesterday, and when I picked it up, the purple water inside was gone. I shook it, only to realize that there was something inside.

Peeling off the wooden stopper, turning the mouth of the gourd downward, an elixir suddenly fell into Xingtian's hand.

"Quenching Pill?" Looking at the familiar pill in his hand, Xingtian's mind was a little unturned, if he remembered correctly, this pill should have been integrated into the purple water yesterday, and before going to bed last night, Xingtian clearly remembered that there was more than half of the purple water in the gourd, and now the melted pill was recovered, and there was not a drop of purple water left.

Is there anything weirder than that?

But soon, Xingtian discovered something even stranger, the quenching pill in his hand didn't seem to be yesterday's.

Some books in Xuewutang record it very clearly, "Quenching Dan, the whole body is round, the skin is rough, there is a medicinal fragrance, it is gray-brown, the higher the quality, the gray is less brown and more, the top quenching pill is brown all over, and the medicinal fragrance is strong." ”

Yesterday's first-grade quenching pill was basically a gray pill, which was inconspicuous, but now this one in the palm of Xingtian is gray with a lot of brown, and the medicinal fragrance is stronger.

Four-grade quenching pill, that's a real treasure. Xing Tian knows that any elixir, the first product is easy to obtain, the second grade is common, if it is the third grade, it will be much less, and the average alchemist can still refine one or two if he plays extraordinarily. But from the fourth grade, it requires a very high-level alchemist to refine, and generally speaking, only the existence of this kind of alchemist will be found in the big sect.

This knowledge was all read by Xing Tian from the book, but he also knew that this was an elixir that was enough to reach the Four-Rank Quenching Pill. But the question is, where did this thing come from?

"Could it be that this purple gourd is refined?" Xing Tian thought of a possibility, yesterday this gourd went crazy by itself and inhaled a grade of quenching pills, and after a night, the original grade was upgraded to a grade four.

This is the only possibility.

If that's the case, then it's a blessing from heaven. Xingtian, who was still immersed in surprise just now, felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart after a while.

The purple gourd can improve the quality of the pill, which is of great significance, any pill, the value difference between the first product and the fourth product is 108,000 miles, and ten and twenty first-grade pills cannot be exchanged for a four-grade pill.

Pressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xing Tian looked at the four-grade quenching pill in his hand and swallowed and spit, the four-grade quenching pill was enough to help him practice the Five Tigers Shaoyang Fist to the ninth level and become a 'quenching realm' martial artist, if that was the case, he could almost pass the martial arts test 100%.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run, when I continue to cultivate and reach the eighth peak of the boxing method, I will definitely have a better effect when I take this pill again!" Thinking of this, Xing Tian put away the Quenching Pill, recovered his mood, and practiced in the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Xingtian still did not have the slightest slackness, in addition to practicing every day, he would go to chat with Linglong at noon, calligraphy, painting and piano skills, and gossip about strange things, all of which were topics that the two of them talked about. And that Xu Jiang didn't come to Xingtian again, not only that, because he won the first place in Wutang Xiaobi, no one despised him anymore, even Mu Haifeng also favored Xingtian. Sometimes, Xingtian really thinks that this kind of life is very good.

It's just that the old mute who guards the door in Xuewutang has disappeared mysteriously since Xiaobi that day, and the old mute also came to Wajin Village a few years ago, with no relatives or friends, and no one knows where he went. Xingtian was a little embarrassed, the old dumb man was old and couldn't speak, where could he go alone?
