The early morning sun poured in through the windows. The room was lit quite brightly, and at this time, two days had passed since the last conversation between Yan Jie and Yan Bing, and in the past two days, Yan Jie had already dealt with some things, and they had already agreed with Yan Li that he was about to go out to cultivate, and he would not return until the imperial family competition.

On the bed, the young man sat up with sleepy eyes, and after being stunned for a moment, he climbed out of bed with a yawn and a simple wash.

"Grandpa, when are we leaving?" wiped the water on his face, Yan Jie asked casually.

"Let's go out and prepare something later, Tamsui. Food. Tents, insect repellent scattered. Low-grade medicinal herbs and some healing and rejuvenating elixirs are all essential things in cultivation, and you have to be fully prepared, after all, we may spend a period of time in the deep mountains. The illusory old man suddenly appeared on the chair next to the table and said lightly.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it. Putting the clothes on his body quickly, Yan Jie smiled.

Looking at Yan Jie's eager appearance, Qian Lao raised his eyebrows and said softly: "From birth to now, you have never experienced a life-and-death battle except for that battle with the Demon Pattern Black, it is too smooth." Human potential, only when life is threatened, will it erupt like a volcano, and if you cultivate as tepidly as you used to, I am afraid that you will never be able to become a real powerhouse!" "Cultivation talent, you are not lacking, what you lack is the experience of iron and blood!" Casually playing with the teacup in his hand, Qian Lao glanced at Yan Jie, who was slowly slowing down his dressing speed, and said lightly: "Only when you succeed in the blood field will you truly transform." ”

Yan Jie's fists were slowly clenched, and he smiled at the old man and raised his face: "I believe that I can pass." ”

"It's good to have faith. Qian Lao chuckled and nodded, he was also very satisfied with Xiao Yan's confidence.

"Hehe, but, Grandpa Qian, I've arrived at the Heavenly Origin Realm, when can I learn alchemy?" Yan Jie smiled, stepped forward, and asked with a salivating smile on his face, he had been yearning for that alchemy for a long time.

Glancing at Yan Jie, who was smiling, a hint of banter appeared on his old face: "Don't worry, since I will teach you, then I won't break my promise, and when I leave Shengcheng, hehe... You just wait for me to learn slowly!"

Looking at the appearance of the old man, Yan Jie's heart suddenly flashed a bad feeling, he laughed dryly, stopped talking nonsense, put everything into his arms, and then opened the door and walked out.

Turning a few paths at random, Yan Jie swaggered out of the family gate, and the moment he walked out of the door, Yan Jie was a little reluctant in his heart, turned around and looked, and Yan Li and Yan Bing's figures slowly appeared in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Yan Jie retracted his gaze, relentlessly, and walked straight away.

Yan Jie first went to Fang City, and he wanted to buy some of the necessities that the old man said.

Shengcheng, an ancient city, has changed from a small town to a large city with a million people today, extending in all directions and becoming the hub of the entire northwest region of the entire empire.

There is a lot of traffic, and people come and go.

There are ordinary human traffickers and pawns here, although these people have also practiced martial arts since childhood, but because of their low talent, they have not improved as much as the aristocratic family, so they may not be able to break through to the realm of the beginning of heaven in their lifetime, and can only become the bottom cornerstone of the world's operation.

There are also people who die in the world for their livelihood and ideals, most of their talents are average, and they do not have a prominent family background, so they can only earn the capital to continue their cultivation by hunting low-level heavenly beasts or protecting merchant goods, whether it is the martial arts, or the slightly extravagant alchemy weapons and equipment, it is the direction of their struggle.

Coming out of Fang City, Yan Jie stood at the fork of the crowded street, looking at the city that he had been getting along with for more than ten years, after a long time, he sighed a little lonely, and then clenched his fists tightly, as if he was cheering himself up, and said softly: "The outside world will definitely be more exciting..."

Yan Jie, who was walking on the road, couldn't help but think of the conversation with Yan Li two days ago.

During that long conversation, Yan Li told Yan Jie that the date of the evaluation had been postponed, mainly because the scale of this time was too large, so the empire needed to prepare for a long time.

Now there is still a year before that competition! This makes Yan Jie feel less pressure, the original half a year is too short!

Before leaving, Yan Jie didn't say hello to anyone, but just left a letter, it's time to say, it's been said a few days ago.

The eagle has grown and danced in the air......

The dark night sky, a crescent moon, hanging lonely on it, a faint cold moonlight, sprinkled on the earth.

In the dark forest, the faint bonfire beats lightly, bringing a trace of warm light to the silent night.

Next to the bonfire, the boy leaned against the trunk of the tree, the fire stick in his hand, and played with the fire a little boringly.

The old man asked: "Yan Jie, you must be careful when you are alone, maybe you will encounter a robbery." ”

"Yes, Grandpa. Yan Jie smiled.

Regarding the precautions for being alone outside, Elder Qian has said many times. At this moment, Yan Jie is wearing sturdy linen trousers and a sleeveless vest. The muscles of the grave, judging from the appearance alone, are full of mercenaries.

According to the narration of the elder Qian, in the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, wearing a luxurious robe was really in the way, and it was too conspicuous. It's better to dress like this.

Yan Jie's speed was very fast, even if it was difficult for Shengcheng to walk on the way to the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, but with Yan Jie's strength in the Heavenly Origin Realm, he still walked relatively fast.

Counting today, Yan Jie has been away from Shengcheng for three days, and the initial freshness has faded a lot in the lonely rush, and a faint thought has slowly climbed into the young man's heart.

Picking a weed at random and putting it in his mouth, Yan Jie said lazily: "Grandpa, where are we going?"

"Heavenly Beast Mountain Range. The old man's voice came from the ring on his finger.

"I know it's the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, I mean where is the destination?" "First cultivate in the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range for a while, then cross the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, and then go to find the Fire Spirit Bead. Qian Lao said lightly.

"Crossing the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range?" The corners of his mouth cracked, and Yan Jie smiled dryly: "With my current strength, I can only deal with some young first-order Heavenly Beasts, at most I can only wander around the periphery, if I want to cross it, I'm afraid... It's impossible, right?"

"When you're in danger, your potential can only explode. The old man said lightly.

Yan Jie listened reasonably, and then said nothing. Then he asked, "Grandpa Qian, what is this Fire Spirit Bead?" “

Seeing Yan Jie's curiosity, the old man smiled, "This fire spirit bead is very important to you now, you are just about to learn alchemy, and this fire spirit bead is also very important to you." As for the fire spirit bead, the legend says that it was the red part of the colorful stone left over from the ancient times when the great god Nuwa mended the sky. According to its color, there are also wood spirit beads, water spirit beads, gold spirit beads, and earth spirit beads. "You have to get these five spirit beads, which are very important for the five elements you cultivate, only by absorbing these five spirit beads can you truly achieve the balance of the five elements." Qian Lao explained with a smile. "It must be hard to get it. Yan Jie was a little worried. "That's for sure, but fortunately, these five spirit beads have not been found when the old master passed away, and the only fire spirit bead was inadvertently obtained by the old master and placed in one place, and when you finish cultivating in the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, you will absorb it. However, before absorbing it, you also have to prepare some pills, after all, absorbing this fire spirit bead, the violent fire spirit power is not protected by the pill, and it will definitely be burned to ashes. "Do you have to get the Fire Spirit Bead to learn alchemy?" Yan Jie was thinking about alchemy. "You can start studying tomorrow if you don't have it. Qian Lao said with a smile. "Really," Yan Jie's voice instantly rose one degree and said excitedly.

Seeing the old man, he nodded affirmatively. Yan Jie was immediately happy.
