It was almost dusk, and the clouds were like flames, shining red gold in the western sky, and the crimson sun was slowly descending from behind the distant mountains.

"Go in, the lord is inside."

Ye Xuan walked into the courtyard, and his vision suddenly opened up.

The dark brown simple corridor in the courtyard is winding and quiet, most of the trees planted are evergreen, and a small flower pops out of the fan-shaped window of the cloister from time to time, which is not as rich as a peony, not as glamorous as the moon season, but a plain and insipid beauty.

In the pavilion not far away, there is a stone table and three stone benches, on which there is a tea set, and a gentle-faced, but pale and powerless person is sitting in it and drinking tea.

"Release Mission: Restore the Lost Qi and Blood for the Jinyang City Lord!"

"Reward: 100 merit points."

Well? Task? Why aren't there exercises or something?

Ye Xuan was a little speechless, but there were so many merit points, and he was not unhappy at all.

Earn over!

Ye Xuan slowly walked into the pavilion, bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and said without humility or arrogance: "Boy Ye Xuan, I have seen the city lord." ”

"Young and calm.... Not bad. The middle-aged man nodded, as if he agreed with Ye Xuan.

Joke! No matter what Lao Tzu says, I've read online articles for so many years, this person will have to rely on me to help him recover for a while, no matter how I say it, I can't coax it!

Ye Xuan thought about it in his heart, but he didn't immediately mention helping the middle-aged man recover, after all, it would be very deliberate.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but there was a pale color in it, and he said to Ye Xuan: "Ye boy, do you need to join the sect?" ”

Ye Xuan paused for a moment and said, "I won't tell you, I hope that the city lord can introduce me to join the sect above." ”

"Okay, in a month, the sect will be assessed, and then I will send someone to send you to the sect." The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuandao with a smile.

Yes?

So that's the promise?

Why is it different from the difficulties in the novel?

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately thanked: "Boy Ye Xuan, thank you City Lord!" He paused and continued: "It's just, I don't understand, you just agreed?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "You have to know that the core of a sect, in addition to the foundation, is manpower, and there are enough manpower to grow in the sect, and there are a few people in this continent who can cultivate the Tao, I introduced you to the sect, which can be regarded as a manpower for the sect?" The sect will also give great benefits to the city, even if it helps you, it also cheapens me, so why not do it? As for whether you can pass the assessment, it depends on your ability. ”

"I see, there is another thing, that is, the kid may be a little unwell, I wonder if you can let the kid take a look?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and his expression changed slightly: "Oh? Can you see what's wrong with me? ”

Ye Xuan said: "It's nothing more than the word qi and blood!" ”

The middle-aged man was shocked, his face was indeed pale, but it was extremely difficult to see the loss of qi and blood, because it hurt the root, and the kid in front of him only saw the cause of the disease in a few glances, it seems that it is indeed not simple.

"Oh? Although I don't understand medical science, I at least know that qi and blood are recovered by the human body itself, and if it reaches the point of serious loss of qi and blood, it is a special reason that causes the vitality in the body to pass, and the recovery of qi and blood is nonsense, I don't know how you want to help me? ”

Although the middle-aged man was amazed that Ye Xuan could see the cause at a glance, he knew his own situation best, but he really hoped that he could get better, so he did not immediately refuse, but asked the doubts in his heart.

"Simple, use the spiritual temperature to accumulate damaged structures such as organs and meridians, and then draw the qi of heaven and earth to slowly restore them to life, and when the vitality in the body is restored, it can be healed in less than a month." Ye Xuan replied with a resolute face.

"The breath of heaven and earth? Do you know what you're talking about? The middle-aged man's face was already extremely shocked, and when he heard the words "Heaven and Earth Qi", he stood up suddenly.

……

"Well...... That's for you to try. The middle-aged man slowly calmed his excitement and said slowly.

Belch... So exaggerated?

As the Qi of Heaven and Earth entered the middle-aged man's body, he felt an incomparably pure aura in his body repairing the damage, although the speed was fast, but it was extremely stable.

As time passed, the beads of sweat on Ye Xuan's forehead slipped, and he stopped the movement in his hand and said, "City Lord, if there are three more times, the damage can be completely repaired." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan appreciatively: "Haha, don't worry, there's still a month to go, just stay in my house during this time." ”

Ye Xuan smiled slightly: "The kid thanked the city lord. ”

"By the way, my name is Jin Xiuzhu, you can call me Uncle Jin, Ye boy, you can go." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Kim!"

Ye Xuan followed the guards to an empty courtyard, although the courtyard was not large, it was all available.

"You stay here first, there will be a maid coming later, if Ye Gongzi needs anything, just ask."

"Good!"

Tsk, that's thoughtful!

If I could, I'd love to stay here forever!

However, I am not from here after all, and I still can't rest assured of my family...

Just three days passed quickly, Ye Xuan healed Jin Xiuzhu's injury, successfully completed the task and obtained one hundred merit points, and as for how long Jin Xiuzhu needs to fully recover, it depends on him.

During these three days, Ye Xuan had no time to treat Jin Xiuzhu, and the rest of the people were immersed in cultivation as soon as he had free time, and he also broke through to the late stage of the tenfold Qi Refining Realm.

"Although I only spent part of my cultivation in the past three days, this speed is indeed too slow!"

Ye Xuan sighed in his heart.

In a month's time, it would be much slower if he only relied on simple cultivation, and after Ye Xuan learned the primary alchemy, he clearly knew the gains brought by various pills.

Therefore, he had already asked Jin Xiuzhu many questions, and after learning the general situation, he had already determined where he would go to cultivate in this month.

That's a place called Black Pine Valley.

The Black Pine Valley is fifty miles away from Jinyang City, not far away, only black pine trees are born in the valley, hence the name, the demon beasts in it are generally not of high level, most of them live in the Qi Refining Realm, the Foundation Realm, it is very suitable for Ye Xuan to accumulate actual combat experience, if he can pick some herbs and refine them into pills to sell, he can also make a sum of money.

In one day, Ye Xuan came to the entrance of the Black Pine Valley.

There are no peaks or anything like that, but the terrain is slowly descending, and in the distance, a black pine forest is like a black ocean, and it is difficult for even the sun to shine into it.

From time to time, the roars of wild beasts came from deep into the forest, setting off a stirring of agitation.

Hey, it's a little scary, it's rare to see TV series with such scenes, damn it!

Although it was intimidating, Ye Xuan quickly calmed down, followed the road under his feet, and slowly entered the valley.

The black pine forest gradually reflected Ye Xuan's vision, constantly stimulating his soul, except for the black pine trees, he couldn't see a second scene.

"Damn, how can I calm down like this?"

There was silence all around, and Ye Xuan's heart always carried a trace of fear.

From time to time, he could see the marks of sharp claws on the trunks of the trees around him, which were obviously left by some demon beast, and the thick pine needles under his feet were accompanied by a rustling sound with every step.

Oh, it's really a good place to practice your guts......

"Rustling ......"

There was suddenly a discordant sound in the distance, and it was obvious that this was not from Ye Xuan's feet.

"Hey, is there a monster coming so soon!"

Ye Xuan looked in the direction where the voice came from, but he didn't see anything suspicious.

The sound of "rustling ......" kept coming, and gradually, Ye Xuan couldn't tell which side this voice came from.

The atmosphere had become dangerous, beads of sweat slowly slipped down Ye Xuan's forehead, he clenched his hands tightly, his eyes continued to sweep around, and the spiritual power rolling in his body was already ready to go.

"Rustling ......"

Ye Xuan's spiritual power was highly concentrated, and suddenly, he only felt a trace of cold air shooting from the back of his head, and he instantly stepped out of the thunder surge, and between the lightning flashes, his body has appeared on the other side.

"Bang!"

At its original location, a pine tree was cut off at the waist and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up countless pine needles and dust.

Ye Xuan looked at the fallen pine, his heart was pounding, and that blow made his heart palpitate.

If it weren't for his body being enough to defy the sky, he could instantly launch and open the distance, even if he was replaced by a monk who was a few small realms higher than himself, he would probably have to be planted here.

"Look at the aura emanating from this demon beast is still above me, isn't it already in the foundation?"

Ye Xuan stared at the black wolf in front of him, and the spiritual power of his whole body was already ready to move.
