The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the morning mist in the forest, and as time passes, the morning mist slowly fades, and you can faintly see the towering trees rising from the ground, standing in the forest like guards.

At this moment, a thin figure brought a gust of wind and swept out of the morning mist, its legs changing like the wind, tossing and turning, and its body was as light as a swallow, leaping from one tall branch to another like an ape.

Bang!

The boy jumped onto a branch, and his seemingly weak body actually caused the entire tree to tremble slightly, and the branches with the thickness of human legs were seriously bent under the strong impact of the young man, and the leaves were sprinkled one after another. The young man's footsteps changed, and he jumped without stopping, and his figure appeared on a thick branch three or four feet away.

Click!

The branch was overwhelmed and made a cracking sound, and the young man hurriedly retracted his body, bent his fingers, and when his body fell, he quickly grabbed a branch, and jumped to the next big tree with the strength of his body fluttering, and then changed his steps again without making any stops, and jumped forward with a peculiar rhythm.

After nearly half an hour of shuttling through the jungle, the boy came to an ordinary mansion and stopped in front of a faint barrier. At this time, the young man's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his black hair was slightly wet and tied back of his head because of the morning dew. After adjusting his breath slightly, the young man took out a jade token from his arms, played a spell at the enchantment in front of him, and waited until an entrance more than one person high appeared in the enchantment, and then walked in.

Once inside, the boy came to a clearing on the left in front of the house, where stakes were erected, lined up from the thickness of an arm to the thickness of a man's waist. The boy walked to a wooden stake in the middle, and his fists were clenched, like a sharp hammer, and lightning slammed into the middle of the stake.

There was a muffled sound from the stake, and the boy's fist was inserted into the stake like slicing tofu, and the whole fist went completely in. At this time, the young man's arm shook, and a strong qi quickly passed into his fist with his arm, only to hear a muffled sound again, and the stump broke from the middle, revealing the texture outline of the trees inside.

The young man kept at his feet, and with a peculiar rhythm, he dodged and moved to another stake, his fist was like the wind, and with a thunderous momentum, he slammed into the stake. After inserting his fist into the stake again, the boy withdrew his fist, his body sank, and he stood on one leg, and a wild leg sweep kicked out like lightning.

Click!

The stake snapped. Some sawdust flew around, and the boy stood with his legs folded, gasping for a moment. Raising the palm of his hand, there was a faint pain on it, but fortunately, it was only slightly red and swollen, and there was not much injury.

This young man is Ye Cang, and at this time, half a year has passed since the day he officially reported to the medicine garden. This vacant land and wooden stake are a small martial arts training ground that Ye Cang has opened up outside the mansion and medicine garden in the past six months.

For half a year, in addition to taking care of the medicine garden on time every day, Ye Cang spent most of his time practicing exercises and studying hundred grass diagrams. With more than 20 years of experience in medicinal herbs in his previous life, Ye Cang took less than ten days to completely memorize the hundred herbs, which really surprised Lu Fuzi, and he was more relieved to hand over the medicine garden to Ye Cang to take care of.

Lu Fuzi has been out a lot in the past six months, and the time in the medicine garden adds up to less than a month. Fortunately, with the company of the elixir rat, Ye Cang's life as a medicine boy would not seem so boring. However, in half a year, with the support of the abundant aura of the medicine garden, Ye Cang's exercises have also made great progress.

Ye's Taiji had already broken through the second layer of the Bone Refining Realm, and now when he was exercising, Ye Cang's skin was as hard as iron, and his defensive ability had improved again, and he had almost reached the edge of the third layer of the Bone Refining Realm. Moreover, Ye Cang learned from the experience of practicing in his previous life, understood the importance of polishing his physical body since he was a child, and opened up a vacant space at the edge of the medicine garden to practice his muscles and bones.

Now Ye Cang's strength with one hand has reached about five hundred catties, reaching the realm of the five layers of the day after tomorrow. Coupled with the practice of Ben Thunder Fist, now without using internal force, Ye Cang can directly ignore the hardness of the stake, and can directly collide with the stake with his two fists, and he will not be injured.

As for Qingling Gong, Ye Cang also began to master some essentials after many exercises. Now he has mastered the eight steps of the first rhythm, "moving with the wind". Every morning, Ye Cang would use the jungle near the medicine garden as a training ground, and hone his body skills through the hanging branches.

"Whew!"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Ye Cang got up and went back to the house. At this time, a black shadow rushed quickly and threw itself into Ye Cang's arms at once.

"You little one, you're not honest again. Ye Cang looked at the elixir rat in his arms and smiled slightly. I saw that the elixir rat licked Ye Cang's fingers very affectionately, and at the same time opened his small mouth and squeaked.

"Understood, I'll get you something to eat. Ye Cang patted the little head of the elixir rat dotingly, put it on the ground, took out a brocade box from the house, opened it, took out a few nuts the size of red dates, and threw them in front of the elixir rat. The elixir rat happily spun around in place a few times, rubbed the corner of Ye Cang's clothes with his head, and then squatted on the ground, grabbed the nuts on the ground with his two short front paws, and gnawed on it with an intoxicated face.

Ye Cang also squatted down and joked with a smile, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, as long as you take good care of the medicine garden, how much will you need for this jujube tassel fruit." The elixir rat kept talking, just wagging its little tail to show that it was listening.

"Later, you stay in the garden and keep a good guard, I want to go to the cold pool in the back mountain to get a load of cold pool water back, those few ice spirit grass are Lu Fuzi's treasures, now it is almost summer, you must be well served, I don't want to wait for him to come back and be beaten." Ye Cang continued, the elixir rat was still gnawing on the jujube tassel fruit and wagging its little tail.

Ye Cang shook his head helplessly and smiled, got up and walked to the door of the house, there was a pair of wooden barrels, different from ordinary wooden barrels, the walls of this wooden barrel were very thick, and there were two layers of lids on the top, and several simple runes were engraved on the barrel body and lid. This wooden barrel is a tool specially made by Lu Fuzi for taking the water of the cold pool of the back mountain, and the material is made of green leaf wood unique to the Aoba Mountains, and the weight of a single wooden barrel alone is close to 100 catties.

Ye Cang skillfully lifted the barrel and walked towards the back mountain.

Along the way, Ye Cang walked like a fly, carrying two wooden barrels in his hands as if there was nothing, and ran along a stone path outside the medicine garden to the back mountain.

The Iron Ruler Hantan is a special existence in the Aoba Mountains.

The water area of the pond here is only 10 meters square, but it is kept low all year round, and even in the middle of summer, the water temperature is extremely cool. But the strange thing is that no matter how cold or hot, the water never freezes. Legend has it that after the Qingye Daoist discovered the strangeness of this place, he tried to go deep into the cold pool to find out the reason, but the result was that his cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm was only a thousand meters deep into the cold pool, and he couldn't bear the cold around the pool, so he had to return in vain.
