After listening to Chen Li's explanation, Qin Yun knew how lucky he was just now!

This black-clothed old man scattered the elixir, his martial arts skills are very ordinary, let alone swordsmanship, but he is good at hidden weapons and cultivating insects, and he can often win by surprise when competing with opponents.

These seventy-two golden needle bees are the killer weapon of the old man in black, although he has not yet domesticated to the strongest state at the peak, but Chen Li once saw him release a swarm of bees to kill two strong opponents.

It's just that the size of the hive is not small, and it is very inconvenient to carry it around, so after Chen Li gained the trust of the old man in black, he took on the task of carrying and feeding the hive.

This nest of golden needle bees can only be controlled by the old man in black himself.

If the old man in black hadn't used a secret weapon to sneak attack Qin Yun just now, but directly released the Golden Needle Bee, then Qin Yun would have almost certainly died.

was arrogant and careless, and finally became the lifeline of the old man in black, and it was also the end he deserved for his many unrighteous acts.

Fortunately, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Chen Li in his heart: "Then do you have any plans in the future?"

Chen Li shook his head blankly, the enemy with his hand took revenge, and all the resentment accumulated in his heart dissipated, but he didn't know what to do.

"Then do you have any other relatives?" Qin Yun asked again.

"Yes!" Chen Li perked up: "My uncle is in Lincheng, and my parents and I were on the way to Lincheng back then."

As he spoke, he burst into tears again.

"Okay, I'll send you to Lincheng!" Qin Yun patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Your uncle will be very happy to see that you are still alive." ”

"Thank you, Brother Qin" Chen Li wiped the tears on his face and handed the hive in his hand to Qin Yun: "Give this nest of golden needle bees to you, it's useless for me to keep it, it's a pity to throw it away!"

"I won't serve insects either!" Qin Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This nest of golden needle bees is very tempting, but if you don't know how to control it, you will definitely hurt yourself if you use it indiscriminately.

Besides, Qin Yun was dedicated to practicing the way of the sword, and he didn't have much interest in cultivating service insects.

"That's not a problem!" Chen Li said: "I know that the old thief has kept books for refining pills and domesticating servant insects at home, and now that he is dead, I will take you to find it, it is only a day's journey from here!"

Qin Yun had the heart to refuse, but Chen Li was completely kind, and he couldn't bear to hurt the other party's heart: "Okay, wait until I pick a few more green leaf grasses and leave!"

Qin Yun searched a small part of this small valley, there must be more than three green leaf grasses, if he leaves now, he may not be able to find them again next time.

Of course, Chen Li had no objection, but helped him collect medicine together.

Chen Li had no martial veins and could not refine qi, and he had only learned some superficial martial arts, but he had learned a lot of methods of collecting and searching for medicine with the old man in black.

The two of them worked together, and it didn't take much time to search the surrounding rock walls, and they actually excavated forty or fifty plants of green-leaved grass, of which the longest grass blade reached twenty-seven years.

Ten years of herbs are considered to be of the highest quality, nearly thirty years are definitely treasures, Biye grass is the main material of Peiqi Dan, and it is also the ingredient of many other pills, and the thirty years are basically priceless outside.

After digging up so much green leaf grass, Qin Yun was of course extremely satisfied, and immediately packed his bags and left with Chen Li.

Under the leadership of Chen Li, the two hurried overnight and arrived at their destination in the afternoon of the next day.

The old man's lair in black is a small Taoist temple built next to the Manglong Mountain Range, hidden in the woods and inconspicuous.

There was no one else in the Taoist temple, and on the surface it was very dilapidated and there was no incense, but that was just to hide people's eyes.

The real secret lies underneath the Taoist temple, where the black-clothed old man has carved out several secret rooms underground, which are used to raise poisonous insects and refine pills.

And now that the body of the old man in black has probably been eaten by the beasts in Manglong Mountain, all the things he has accumulated throughout his life are naturally owned by Qin Yun and Chen Li.

On the bookshelf in one of the secret rooms, Chen Li found the secret book of the Golden Needle Bee and some other Dan Dao books

The Danshu Medicine Book and some useful pills Qin Yun stayed, but he didn't take any of the rest, such as gold and silver treasures, and gave them all to Chen Li.

These wealth are enough to ensure that the other party has no worries about life in the future.

After the spoils were divided, Chen Li lit another fire and burned the Taoist temple clean, leaving him with too many painful memories here.

In a small town ten miles away from the Taoist temple, the two parted ways.

Qin Yun originally wanted to escort Chen Li to Lincheng to join his relatives, but when he inquired in the town, he learned that even if he took a carriage to get there, it would take four or five days.

It takes more than ten days to go back and forth, and Qin Yun's family mission only has less than two days left, and the consequences of delaying going back for so long are really unpredictable.

Fortunately, Chen Li saw his difficulties and said that it was not a problem for him to hire a carriage to go back alone, and there were no bandits in Pingjing in Guiyang County, and it was very safe to take the commercial road.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Qianchao City to find me, and I will definitely try my best to help you!"

The apologetic Qin Yun solemnly made a promise to Chen Li.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, take care too!"

The two waved goodbye, and Qin Yun watched the carriage carrying Chen Li disappear at the end of the road before setting off to return to Thousand Tides City.

......

Qianchao City, Muyang Road Foreign Affairs Hall, Yaori Building.

Today is the last day of the return of the newcomers in the clan, and the halls on the first and second floors of Yaori Building are particularly lively, and people in and out are like carp crossing the river.

The expressions of the children were different, some were triumphant and excited, some were dejected and silent, and some even quarreled with each other, but they were immediately suppressed by the steward of the building.

Because of the shortage of materials in the Dan Medicine Hall and the extremely strong demand for Qi Cultivation Pill, not long ago, the main hall released a large number of tasks to collect green leaf grass, and most of the children in the hall, whether they were newcomers or old people, received the same task.

However, it is definitely not an easy task to collect green leaf grass in Manglong Mountain, the outer areas of the mountain range have long been picked up, and the children of the newcomers do not have enough strength to go deep into the mountain range.

They lack experience in collecting medicines, and many of their children grew up in the families of wealthy people, except for practicing martial arts and practicing swords, they have never done anything like this, and many newcomers have entered Manglong Mountain and come back with empty hands and faces.

However, even if you don't pick a single green leaf grass, you have to go back to the hall to give an explanation, and the medicine box and medicine hoe must be returned.

As for the consequences of not completing the task, in addition to deducting the family ration for the next month, a note will be made in the personal notebook.

For many newcomers, it's okay to deduct the usual rations, but it's embarrassing and embarrassing to leave a stain on the notebook, so there are people with flexible minds who guard the building and buy green leaf grass at a high price on the spot.

This is allowed by the rules, as long as the tasks assigned by the family are completed, the steward will not care what means you use to achieve your goals.

It's just that there are very few people who can pick back a lot of green leaf grass.

Qin Mingzhu stood at the corner of the corridor on the first floor of Yaori Tower, looking at the crowd of people coming in and out of the gate in front of him with anticipation, and a look of disappointment appeared on her pretty face from time to time.

There are quite a few children of the Pill Hall who came here today, and many newcomers like Qin Mingyue also want to buy some Biye Grass to improve their alchemy experience.

Now the herb hall in the city is almost out of stock, and only some inventory prices are too high for them to afford.

"Mingzhu, so you're here, we're looking for you!"

A familiar voice came from behind him, Qin Mingzhu turned around, and saw his cousin Qin Haishan and a young man in white walking over.

Seeing the visitor, she secretly frowned, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Cousin, Brother Qin Jun, hello." ”

Qin Haishan smiled and said, "Mingzhu, you came here to buy some green leaf grass, right?" Brother Qin Jun said that he could help you think of a way!"

The young man in white smiled reservedly, looking at Qin Mingzhu's gaze very eagerly: "Now the green leaf grass is very scarce, since Sister Mingzhu needs it, how can I help you find a few plants, I still have a little face in the Foreign Affairs Hall." ”

This young man is Qin Jun, a disciple of the criminal hall, when the children of newcomers first started, he once organized a gathering of children from his fellow villagers.

It was at that party that he took a fancy to the gentle and beautiful Qin Mingzhu at a glance, and he was pursuing it openly and secretly.

But Qin Mingzhu has never been shy about him: "Thank you Brother Qin Jun for your kindness, but I have another way." ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Qin Jun's eyes, and then he smiled contemptuously: "Sister Mingzhu, I know you went to Qin Yun for help, but do you think that with his ability, he can do it?"

"Even if you are lucky enough to dig up a few plants, he can't hand in the task enough, how can he give it to you?

Because considering the danger of entering Manglong Mountain to collect medicine, most of the newcomers went in groups, but they underestimated the difficulty of this mission, so it caused many contradictions.

If none of the plants are dug up, it's okay, and some teams dig up a few or a dozen plants, how to distribute them becomes a big problem, and everyone wants to get their hands on it, so naturally there will be disputes.

"Mingzhu, why don't you listen to me!" Qin Haishan said in a deep voice: "Don't you know that Qin Yun has offended people in the clan, and it is no good for you to be close to him and be friends!"

It's good that he didn't say these words, but when he said it, it aroused Qin Mingzhu's disgust: "Cousin, I made friends, not to get any benefits, I think Brother Qin Yun is very good." ”

These words made Qin Haishan's face swell, red and blue, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Qin Jun smiled fakely: "Sister Mingzhu, you can't say that, Haishan is also for"

He put on a big brother posture to admonish Qin Mingzhu, but Qin Mingzhu turned around and looked at the gate, his eyes lit up, and his pretty face revealed a moving look!
