It took nearly an hour to go all the way down the mountain road before I came to the Medicine Garden Valley where the Yuanming Dao Chief was located. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the few towering grass houses in the distance, Ye Cang sighed in his heart, unconsciously, he had spent almost two years in the Qingye Mountain Range, and he had grown up step by step from a weak and thin teenager at the beginning. Especially in the last year of cultivation, I have grown a lot in size, and my body has become much stronger.

I remembered the time I spent with Yuanming Daoist in the medicine garden at the beginning, although there were many Yuanming Daoist lazy and sloppy, he always instructed himself to do some miscellaneous work in the medicine garden. But he does have the grace of reinvention for himself, and he is also the first cultivator he met when he crossed into the Kyushu continent, and later tried his best to recommend himself to enter the Aoba Temple to practice, so that he has his current self.

The moonlight was cool, and it was close to the height of summer, and from time to time there were one or two insect chirpings in the surrounding grass. Ye Cang crossed the wooden bridge over the creek and gradually approached the grass house. At this time, I found that there was a figure practicing the exercises on the soil slope to the south of the grass house, and it was the Yuanming Dao Master.

Slowly approaching, he found that the Yuanming Daoist was standing on the dirt slope at this time, his feet were open, his body moved down slightly, and his left hand drew a clever arc in front of him.

"Dao Chief. Ye Cang stopped at the bottom of the dirt slope and called out respectfully.

Hearing this, Daoist Yuanming did not turn around, but after finishing the last action, he collected the exercises, and slowly exhaled a breath before he spoke, "I didn't expect your Ye family's ancestral exercises to be played, and they also have the effect of strengthening the body, but I was clumsy before." ”

After speaking, Yuanming Daoist turned around, looked at Ye Cang under the soil slope, his eyes lit up slightly, and then dissipated, and said, "A year and a half have passed since the day of farewell, and this time is really unforgiving." ”

Then he said, "It seems that you have grown a lot in more than a year, and you have grown a lot taller." I think when I first met you, you were still a child whose life was hanging by a thread, and now you have only entered the sect for more than a year, and you have made so much progress, and there are rumors in the sect that you are the first disciple of the day after tomorrow. ”

The Taoist said with a smile, Ye Cang has always remembered the Daoist's life-saving grace. Ye Cang heard this and replied respectfully.

"Well, I'm not letting you remember this kindness all the time, you and I met each other, and it was fate. Daoist Yuanming smiled slightly, and then asked, "I heard that in a few days, you will participate in the Valley Trial as a selected disciple?"

"Yes, I have already promised Master Qingsang to participate in this valley trial. Ye Cang was slightly stunned, not knowing why Daoist Yuanming mentioned this matter, but he still responded frankly.

"Then do you know that this trip is not a smooth road, but full of all kinds of dangers?" Hearing Ye Cang's frank answer, Yuan Ming Dao Chang frowned slightly.

Master Qingsang had already told his disciple about the dangers, but the disciple still decided to participate. Ye Cang shook his head, indicating that he understood the worries of the Yuanming Daoist.

Seeing that Ye Cang's mind had been decided, Yuanming Dao sighed leisurely, and after a long time, he spoke:

"I called you here today to tell you about a past. Twenty years ago, there was an excellent disciple among the younger generation of this sect, with the physique of the three spirit roots, and he was quite talented in the cultivation of the three spells of gold, wood, and water, and his cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the innate stage, and he had won the first place in the inner court disciple competition for three consecutive sessions, and was valued by many elders in the sect. If nothing else, it is very likely that this disciple will advance to the Dan Yuan Realm or even the Yuan Shen Realm, and the sect has always cultivated him as the leader of the younger generation of the Aoba Sect. ”

"It's a pity that twenty years ago, when this disciple participated in the trial in the valley as the leader of the sect, he clashed with the disciples of the Imperial God Temple who temporarily broke in, and the disciples of this sect were besieged by the other party in a dangerous prohibition. Moreover, the dantian was destroyed by a disciple of the other party's late congenital stage, and since then he has been reduced to a wasted person, and his career in cultivation has since come to naught. ”

However, because of this disciple's desperate efforts to save the lives of several other disciples, the elders of the sect thanked him for his contribution to maintaining the reputation of the sect and the thoughtfulness of the sect's disciples, and sent him to the sect medicine garden as a pharmacist. ”

Speaking of this, Yuanming Daoist stopped, did not continue, but looked up at the sky, under the cold moonlight, the whole person looked extremely lonely.

"That excellent disciple, is it you, the Elder of the Yuanming Dao?"

Hearing this, Ye Cang couldn't help but ask. Only then did I realize that the lazy and sloppy Taoist who I first knew in my heart was once so gorgeous. It's just that after so many years, after receding from the aura of the past and becoming a waste, he hid alone in this medicine garden and licked his wounds.

Daoist Yuanming retracted his gaze looking into the air, glanced at Ye Cang with a complicated face, and said with emotion, "Life is impermanent, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow." Although you are a pseudo-spiritual root qualification, you are quite good in both understanding and heart, and the path of cultivation should go further than mine, if you must insist on going, I will not stop you, I can only tell you to be more careful. ”

After pondering for a while, Daoist Yuanming reached into his arms, took out a pair of yellowed paper, walked in front of Ye Cang, and said, "This is a map drawn by me based on my memory after returning from participating in the Valley Trial, which indicates some dangerous prohibition and beast infested areas, as well as some places where treasures may exist, which is more detailed than the map that the sect sent to you at that time. You carry it with you, maybe it will be of some use. ”

"The sealing space of that deserted sect is still very large, in addition to the spirit grass and spirit fruit, there are other treasures in some abandoned ruins, whether you can get it depends on your chance. ”

"Thank you, Dao Chief!" Ye Cang respectfully took the map, understanding the reason why Dao Chang Yuanming summoned him late at night this time, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

After a while, the Yuanming Dao Leader seemed to think of something, and spoke again, "By the way, I see that your current spirit and spirit should already have the signs of condensing the Mud Pill Palace and opening up the Qi Mansion, and it is estimated that it will not take long to break through to the Innate Realm, right?"

Ye Cang nodded and said, "The disciple's divine thoughts have indeed increased in the past six months. ”

Hearing this, Daoist Yuanming took the map from Ye Cang's hand, unfolded it, pointed to an area marked with a red mark on it, and said, "This place is a valley I accidentally discovered last time, there is a deep pool there, and there is a phantom fruit tree by the water. When I found it last time, I had already produced two spirit fruits, but unfortunately it was not yet ripe. Now that twenty years have passed, it should have just matured. This kind of phantom spirit fruit has the miraculous effect of enhancing spiritual power and condensing the mud pill palace, and it has a great effect on breaking through the innate realm. ”

"However, there is a guardian demon beast on the edge of this waterhole, which is a spotted anaconda at the peak of the day after tomorrow, so you must be careful when picking spirit fruits. Daoist Yuanming then added.

"Dao Chang's words, Ye Cang took them to heart. After listening to Yuanming's words, Ye Cang thanked him again.

"Okay, I also fancy you as a talent, and I hope you can go further on the road of cultivation. Feeling Ye Cang's gratitude, Yuanming Dao waved his hand.

"We're going to leave in a few days, so you can cultivate these days. There's nothing else to do, you can go back first. Seeing that everything that should be ordered had been said, Yuanming Daoist spoke, and after speaking, he turned around and walked directly in the direction of Caolu.

Ye Canggong sent the Taoist chief. Ye Cang stood in place, looking at the back of Yuanming Dao, and said loudly.

It wasn't until the Yuanming Daoist walked into the grass house and disappeared from view that Ye Cang retracted his gaze again, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and after a long time, he turned around and walked towards the mountain.
