Chapter 10: Exploration
"That's nature. In the Ethereal Continent, as long as it is an individual, everyone wants to become an alchemist, but those harsh conditions ......" The old man's voice sounded appropriately.
After a sudden pause, Gu Yi suddenly raised his head, looked at the old man, and said lightly: "You, are you an alchemist?"
"That's right, I'm an alchemist!" Looking at Gu Yi's little face full of suspicion, the old man smiled, and there was a faint pride in his voice.
His eyes lit up, his breathing was a little short, and Gu Yi's gaze at the old man was a little more awe-inspiring.
Alchemist! That's a rare creature!
There are only three alchemists in the entire Shura Sect, and they are only third-grade alchemists.
"Ahem, senior, how many pharmacists were you before?" Gu Yi licked his lips.
In the Ethereal Continent, there are very few alchemists, but the alchemists have an enviable dignity, take the three alchemists in the Shura Sect as an example, these three people have a noble status in the door, and they are not even worse than the master of the sect, and they have the right to use the resources in the door at will, this is only a third-grade alchemist, it is difficult to imagine what kind of dazzling light there will be when they reach the eighth or ninth grade.
Because of their noble status, alchemists have a clear hierarchy, from low to high, divided into one to nine grades.
"Hehe, I can't remember. Shaking his head, the old man suddenly smiled strangely: "Actually, according to your kid's qualifications, you can barely become an alchemist." ”
Gu Yi obviously saw a hint of appreciation in the old man's eyes, and his expression of ecstasy was unacceptable, "Really, but alchemists are generally taught by the teacher himself, you ......"
Speaking of this, Gu Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, and he looked at the old man hotly.
The old man shook his head, there was a hint of pride in his eyes, looked at the expectation in Gu Yi's eyes, and said with a smile, "That's it, seeing that you kid is in line with my temper, I will rely on you in the future, so let's guide it myself." ”
"Boy, thank you, senior!"
"Hmm. The old man crossed his legs at the top of the tombstone, and said with a treacherous smile: "This is very good, then you can apprentice." ”
"Do you still want to apprentice?"
"Nonsense! You don't want me to teach me without apprenticeship, what about dreams?" The old man is obviously an old man with a somewhat pedantic personality, and he cares very much about this kind of master-apprentice relationship.
Pouted, thinking that the other party would not only guide him in martial arts, but also personally guide him in alchemy in the future, and he was an old man of the ancient demon clan, and it was worth worshipping him as a teacher.
Seeing that Gu Yili was complete, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and his voice was a little more cordial: "My name is Gota, as for my origin, it is not appropriate to talk to you more now, you just need to know that like the three alchemists in the Shura Sect, they are actually just a small role." ”
The corners of Gu Yi's mouth twitched, looking at the old man's casual appearance, and just about to say something, he swallowed it raw.
It was the first time he had heard that someone despised the alchemists in the sect, although the third-grade alchemists were not high, but looking at the mainland, there were a few third-grade alchemists! If this word spread, the three alchemists would probably vomit blood in anger.
"Alright, that's all for today. You get the materials together as soon as possible, and you can't afford to delay any longer. The old man said impatiently.
Speaking of those materials, Gu Yi sighed depressedly, his mood was a little depressed, and finally he pondered that he could take advantage of the time when he went out of the mountain gate to chop wood in the morning, find some low-level demonic beasts in the valley, and see if he could kill some Neidan.
Those low-level Demonic Beasts' Inner Dan have been acquired in the Contribution Hall in the Gate, and a Nedan can be exchanged for thousands of gold coins no matter how you say it, and you should be able to make up for it by killing more Demonic Beasts, but I just hope that when the time comes, you will not run out of too high-level Demonic Beasts, and now he can only deal with first- and second-order Demonic Beasts.
The next day, Gu Yi got up early in the morning, brought his cloth bag and axe, and hurriedly went out, and the disciple guarding the mountain gate let him go without asking, just curious about why this kid was so early.
Standing at the gate of the mountain, Gu Yi stretched his waist, glanced at the whiteness of the fish belly that appeared on the edge of the sky, closed his eyes and enjoyed a moment of peace, then opened his eyes, found a lush tree, danced the axe in his hand, and then buried himself in cleaning the firewood on the ground.
As soon as Gu Yi made a move today, he vaguely noticed a trace of unusualness, and found that he looked at a bundle of firewood today, but he didn't feel the slightest tiredness, and he still felt a little unfinished.
After chopping a bundle of firewood, he looked at the sunrise on the edge of the sky, grinned, and entered the deep valley alone.
The mountain behind Shuramen is not just a simple valley, this valley is connected to the mysterious mountain range, and it is at the very edge of the mountain range.
The real Arctic Mountains are very vast, winding for thousands of miles, many of the edge areas of the Extreme Cold Mountains are not cold, and there are some special valleys that are like spring all year round, which are very suitable for the cultivation of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and the Shura Gate is built in one of the most marginal valleys.
However, the deeper you go into the mysterious mountains, there is a miasma, which implies mystery.
The reason for this is that due to the dense concentration of waterholes and mud pools in the depths of the mountains, and the fact that there are several towering mountains and peaks, the moisture does not disperse all year round, and gradually merges with nature, becoming a dense miasma, and the deeper you go, the more miasma will be.
The quagmire and waterhole in the depths of the mysterious mountain range are the most mysterious, and it is one of the forbidden places on the mainland, and it is rumored to be rich in many rare spirit grass crystals, all of which are peerless treasures, and are the cultivation materials that martial artists dream of.
However, since ancient times, where rare spirit grass has grown, there are often fierce creatures sitting in the town, and the same is true for the waterholes and quagmires, entrenched in many high-level fierce spirit beasts, and the strong people of the continent rarely set foot in them, when they look at the mysterious mountain range, they will take the initiative to choose to avoid it, and not to provoke those powerful spirit beasts above.
On the edge and periphery of the mysterious mountain range, there are also a lot of spirit grasses, there are low-level magic beast activities, and the distribution is also very scattered, it takes a lot of energy to find the spirit grass, but it is not very difficult to hunt the magic beasts.
Those areas are the places where the warriors often move, and the warriors of the Shura Sect, as well as many small forces in the vicinity, will operate in the area far away from the miasma almost every year.
Gu Yi, who left the division, walked along the direction to the depths of the mountain range, his trousers were covered with mud, although it was the periphery, he still felt a trace of moisture, but Gu Yi did not have the slightest disgust, but his little face was a little excited.
In the past few months, he has spent all his time cultivating, staying in the master's sect, repeating the same thing every day, boring and tight.
After all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and after years of boring cultivation, he was able to fly through the forest, and he couldn't help but feel happy all over his body, and even the fatigue on his body seemed to be swept away.
Looking at the mountain road on the road, recalling the road he had walked, he did not have a topographic map of the mysterious mountains, and if he went deeper, he was afraid of getting lost, so he found a mountain and stopped, but as soon as he stopped, he found a trace of nervousness.
Gradually, the excitement in my heart was reined in, my attention was concentrated, and I began to be cautious.
His caution was due to the fear of encountering other kinds of spirit beasts.
This mountain, he had been here long before he had not studied the Solomon Sect, and he knew that there was only a burst of lightning tigers here, and the level was not high, only in the first and second orders, but as soon as he arrived at the mountain, he felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet here.
"Woohoo!"
The whistling of birds fluttering through the forest suddenly came from the depths of the mountains, accompanied by a few youthful screams and curses.
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized that there were warriors and lightning tigers fighting in the depths of the mountain, and before he could think about it, his speed was suddenly extremely fast, and he rushed straight towards the high slope of the mountain.
