Chapter 8 Into the Mountains to Collect Medicine, Jungle in Distress
"Kutuo Peak" is not one of the "nine peaks", nor does it specifically refer to a single male peak, but a rugged mountain range composed of several low mountains.
Although the terrain is not high, it covers a very vast area, and it is closest to the miscellaneous courtyard where Su Yu and the others are.
Choosing to enter this mountain to collect medicine is the best choice.
After about a cup of tea, they stepped into the realm of "Kutuo Peak".
According to the instructions of the sect, the five outer disciples need to lead their respective team members into the mountain range separately to complete the task of collecting medicine, so as to achieve the purpose of training miscellaneous disciples.
However, the Taoist master of the "outer gate" also had a solemn instruction that during this mission, he was not allowed to enter the depths of the mountains.
Otherwise, if you encounter the attack of a high-level fierce beast, you will definitely be dead!
After the five squads separated, the miscellaneous disciples behind Li Mi became lively and casual.
At this time, they no longer marched in line, but walked straight to Li Mi and laughed and talked to each other.
Li Mi initially rejected this kind of behavior.
At the beginning, he still had a posture of rejecting people, and he didn't want to see everyone break the rules, and he was unrestrained. But because of his own cowardice, he did not dare to speak out to discipline and reprimand them.
Over time, in the words of congratulations and compliments one after another, Li Mi's inner perseverance finally broke through the defense and gradually lost himself.
The frowning brows were also quietly soothed, and a smug smile bloomed on his face.
"Captain Li, and now he is cultivating geometry?"
Someone asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
When Li Mi heard this, he immediately smiled heartily: "It can be the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, and it is still one step away from the innate realm!" ”
All the miscellaneous disciples were shocked in their hearts, and they all knew that before the other party entered the "outer gate", he was only a martial artist of the third layer of the day after tomorrow.
And now, less than a year has passed, and Li Mi's cultivation has been upgraded to the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow.
That's a leap and bound!
You must know that Su Yu, who has the help of the system, is now only on the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow. Compared with Li Mi, his cultivation progress is still much different.
This shows how extraordinary Li Mi's martial arts talent is. It's no wonder why the other party was able to stand out among the hundreds of miscellaneous disciples and be the first to sense qi and blood.
Li Mi glanced at the people who were still in a state of shock, thought for a moment, and immediately understood.
He waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "I don't have the kind of martial arts talent you imagined, but I can enjoy all kinds of body-nourishing decoctions in the 'outer gate', and I don't need to do heavy chores. ”
"Since I have more cultivation time, I can quickly ascend to the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow. If you are able to enter the 'outer gate', I am afraid that the progress of cultivation will not be slower than mine!" ”
Li Mi's last sentence was simply choked to death, and everyone could only smile dryly.
Who doesn't know that they are all because they can't get started with "Taixuan Blood Moving Skill" and can't sense qi and blood, so they can't get out of the door.
Sensing qi and blood depends on qualifications and talents. And the improvement of qualifications is extremely difficult, which means that these people have no chance to leap into the dragon gate.
Wanting to enter the "outer door" is tantamount to a fool's dream!
As for the thoughts of the miscellaneous disciples at the moment, how could the intelligent Li Mi not know. But after all, the words have been spoken, and naturally there is no possibility of taking them back.
At this time, he had no choice but to change the topic, turned his head to Su Yu behind him and called, "Senior Brother Su! Senior Brother Su came over to talk about it. ”
"What?" Su Yu stepped forward quickly.
"I heard that Senior Brother Su has been in the limelight recently!"
After Li Mi finished speaking, his eyes fell on the axe on the other party's waist, and he laughed: "It is said that your axe skills have reached the point where no one can beat you now, and your cultivation is far better than before!" ”
Su Yu smiled dryly, and said helplessly: "'Chopping wood' can only be regarded as a skill, and no matter how good the axe skill is, you can only do a miscellaneous job, and you can't enter the 'outer gate' like Captain Li." ”
Su Yu's words resonated, and the miscellaneous disciples fell silent again.
As Su Yu said, martial arts pay attention to talent and qualifications, if the qualifications are insufficient, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to break through the shackles of cultivation, and you will not be able to enter the innate for a lifetime.
Li Mi's face froze, smiled awkwardly, and did not answer. He is usually shy and timid, and he is really not good at words.
Now the miscellaneous disciples suddenly took him as the main backbone and surrounded him in the center of the crowd.
Although Li Mi is smart and quick-witted, he is also difficult to deal with. At this time, he could only speed up his pace and lead everyone to continue to walk forward.
Arriving at a thicket of overgrown weeds, a sharp-eyed handyman suddenly screamed.
"There's ginseng!"
Everyone immediately rushed over, and sure enough, they saw three ginseng trees growing among the weeds.
The lucky handyman, named Zhang Yuan, was short and sturdy, with dark skin.
He carefully pulled out the three ginseng trees and shook off the dirt from them.
Judging from the skin color of the ginseng, it is estimated that these three ginseng have also grown for some years. When the time comes, it will be handed over to the steward, and it will definitely be able to get a lot of remuneration.
Since the precious ginseng has been found here, there are probably other medicinal herbs in the vicinity as well.
The miscellaneous disciples immediately dispersed, and opened their eyes wide to start a carpet search everywhere around.
However, Li Mi's duties were different, and he led twenty disciples of the Miscellaneous Servants Academy into the mountains to collect medicine.
It plays the role of supervision and protection, and prevents miscellaneous disciples from being lazy in the process of collecting medicine. The second is to resist the attack of monsters and the invasion of bandits.
In principle, Li Mi himself does not need to collect medicine.
He stood in the center of the crowd and said loudly to the miscellaneous disciples around him, "In the process of collecting medicine, don't go far without permission!" If you're in danger, just shout for help! ”
All the miscellaneous disciples replied, but their footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk forward.
Soon, new medicinal materials were discovered one after another.
Su Yu didn't come up to look, he glanced around, step by step forward, holding a sharp axe to split the green vine branches that blocked him from time to time.
Suddenly, he noticed a sudden movement of the grass more than a meter high in front of him. At the same time, endless leaves fell from the top of the head.
Su Yu's footsteps stopped, and he looked around cautiously. Immediately, another hissing sound came to my ears.
Su Yu, who sensed that something was wrong, was about to leave this place. But at this moment, something unknown suddenly slapped him on the shoulder.
This shot shocked Su Yu's heart, and the moment he turned around, the sharp axe in his hand had already slashed towards the top of his shoulder.
"Senior Brother Su, it's me!"
Su Yu retracted his strength in time, and the sharp axe was suspended in the air, and the blade of the axe was only two inches away from the opposite door.
He looked intently and saw Zhang Yuan standing beside him in a panic at the moment.
"Senior Brother Su...... You're scared to death! Could it be that you have found some treasure? ”
Zhang Yuan patted his chest, and at the same time, his eyes swept curiously to all around him, and then said: "I won't rob you, I just want to see how precious medicinal materials can make Senior Brother Su so flustered." ”
At this moment, the grass in front of him shook again.
"Huh! It's a psychic herb! ”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to rush towards the epicenter.
"Don't go! Dangerous! ”
As soon as Su Yu's words fell, Zhang Yuan's body had already sunk into the grass.
