Time flies like a white horse, there are no years in the mountains, and a month passes quietly.

The sun shines at night, and the earth is red.

It's early autumn, and the weather hasn't become cooler due to the change of seasons, and the wild prey is fat, and the powerful sword beasts who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will always find some weak ones to play with, and when they are tired and hungry, they swallow it again and sleep leisurely.

This is the harvest season of the farmer, the season when the sword beasts are most vigorous, and the best time for the swordsmen to try.

The Sword Beast Forest, located in the southeast of the Changge Empire, adjacent to the north of the Celestial Empire, coupled with a majestic mountain line with a maximum altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, makes it a natural barrier and dividing line between the two empires.

But all along, this incomparably vast sword beast forest and the majestic barren mountain have not been included in the territory of any country, not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare.

In this vast and huge forest, there is an incomparably large group of sword beasts, and it can be said that this is the kingdom of sword beasts.

In the entire Chaoyuan Continent, there are thousands of sword beast kingdoms like the Sword Beast Forest, and they are all individual existences of reading power, because of these places, there are inexhaustible groups of sword beasts, and even the legendary sword dragons, sword unicorns, sword beast emperors and other super terrifying existences, naturally no one dares or wants to have the idea of taking these treasures of immeasurable value and danger, but full of mystery and wealth.

Even if you have the strength to incorporate these places into the territory and dig up the infinite wealth and treasure, but if you don't have the strength, how can you protect it, and the thousands of sword beasts are not something that anyone can afford.

Therefore, these places, including some mysterious ancient ruins, have become public areas on the continent, and there are always some lucky people, or powerful swordsmen, who can dig up the secrets and treasures of a lifetime.

Naturally, there is an endless stream of swordsmen who come to these places every year to try or hunt for treasures, and there will always be some lucky ones who get treasures, as well as a group of unlucky people who are buried in this place or enjoyed as a meal by sword beasts.

When the sky is dark, on the periphery of the Sword Beast Forest, there are always teams of trials who set up tents, set up bonfires, gather in piles around the fire, eat barbecue, talk about the past, and look forward to the future.

If you look down from a high place, you can see that on the edge of the Sword Beast Forest, and even in the open area that is a little deeper into the forest, there are sparks flickering everywhere like stars, outlining a strange picture.

On the edge of the forest, when the bonfire burns, the sound of firewood 'crackling' is so loud in some quiet areas, and after the sparks rise, they are like dancing elves, and quickly dissipate into the air.

A sword, a beauty.

The picture is quite meaningful, but the beauty's clothes are a little tattered, patched in many places, and the face is as cold as frost, and it is covered by a green veil, and the indifferent temperament that rejects people thousands of miles away can make any man who is about to move stop.

Gu Menghan sat quietly by the fire, her eyes were slightly closed at this time, and her long eyelashes occasionally moved, as if she was recuperating and contemplating.

At this time, a movement came, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a flash of vigilance flashed, but after seeing that the person who came was a young man who had returned from collecting medicine, her expression was warm, and she added some firewood to the fire.

I saw Nie Lin coming back with a fat prey on his back at this time, and after putting it aside, he ignored the prey, put down the basket on his back, and took out a few herbs that had just been collected from it, and said, "Han'er......"

"How many times have I told you, you are not allowed to call it that, senior sister!" Gu Menghan heard that Nie Lin was going to call her by her nickname again, and reprimanded her in a deep voice, just like an eldest sister training a younger brother.

With that, she took the initiative to pick up the sword, peeled and cut the flesh of the prey, and then set it up on the fire to cook.

Nie Lin smiled bitterly, since Gu Menghan's injury healed, it seemed that he had returned to his original surname, cold as ice, but he could feel that when she faced her, the cold ice would melt a little, making people feel the gentleness it brought.

But thinking that he is now a teenager, no matter how stable and mature he is, in the eyes of many people, he is still a young man after all, Nie Lin is also gradually adapting to such a positional role, and said: "Senior sister, I have collected several medicinal materials that appear in this vicinity, but there is one thing, which I occasionally found in the tree hole, which is very hidden, and it is not mentioned in the "Thousand Herbs", what kind of material is this?"

As he spoke, Nie Lin took out a plant from the medicine basket, the roots were dark purple, the stems were very thick, but the leaves were like fine needles, very fine, under the light of the fire, it would change slightly to light blue color, and the overall look was like a big mushroom with a broom head.

After Gu Menghan saw this plant, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he also brought a glow, and said: "This is needle blue grass, it is relatively old, it will change color, it is generally attached to the root system of ancient trees to grow, it is very hidden and difficult to find, it is one of the main materials for the preparation of the Reverse Blood Pill, where is that ancient tree?"

Nie Lin was puzzled and said, "That ancient tree is about to die, what use will it be?"

Gu Menghan said: "We can intercept some tree roots and transplant them in the medicine garden, as long as we can grow seedlings, if we transplant this needle orchid grass back, we can continue to rely on it!"

"Senior sister, when did you systematically teach me how to prepare the sword pill pill?" Nie Lin saw that Gu Menghan was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to ask.

In the past month, Gu Menghan always sent him to identify and collect medicinal materials, familiar with the surname and ingredients of medicine, but did not teach him systematic knowledge of medicine refining, Nie Lin was itching, and wanted to learn a hand, at least he could concoct a rudimentary sword pill, which was not bad, but Gu Menghan did not agree, and asked him to continue to lay the foundation.

When Gu Menghan heard this, he glared at Nie Lin with a cold face, and said: "Although you have mastered most of the knowledge of pharmacology, but the content of this "Thousand Herbs", you must understand it thoroughly, have a solid foundation, and you can't be ambitious, when I first studied with my grandmother, it took three years to integrate this Thousand Herbs Spectrum, you continue to work hard, within this year, don't think that I will teach you the rest!"

Immediately, she picked up another 'nourishing leaf vine' and asked Nie Lin to analyze the ingredients and pharmacological surnames.

Nie Lin had no choice but to answer honestly, and made a detailed report on the relevant medicinal ingredients of this nourishing leaf vine, as well as the blending ingredients with the medicinal surname.

In the past month, Nie Lin has to face this kind of assessment almost every day, he is used to it, Gu Zhiqiu is gone, Mr. Wangqiu is forgetful and so terrifying, and only Gu Menghan can teach him more in-depth knowledge in this area, so this senior sister, Nie Lin is also willing.

After Gu Menghan examined Nie Lin with a few medicinal materials collected by Nie Lin, the barbecue on the fire at this time was already full of aroma, she asked Nie Lin to eat it first, and she used the medicinal materials collected in the past two days to make a fuss on the side.

Nie Lin was eating barbecue, and when he saw Gu Menghan tinkering with those medicinal materials, the preparation method was very special, so he asked curiously, "Senior sister, what kind of medicine are you concocting?"

"Poison!" After Gu Menghan only said two words, he ignored him and continued to focus on blending.
