Go down the mountain, along a trail in the mountains to the back of the mountain, along the way the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the clouds and mist rise, the strange flowers and plants can be seen at any time, the beauty of the scenery, like a paradise, worthy of a martial arts holy land. Occasionally, you can also see the disciples of the Golden Dragon Pavilion sitting on the high rocks or peaks on both sides of the mountain road, or cultivating the mystical method, or deducing the secret arts, and the Shenhua circulates around them, and the momentum is compelling.

Ye Luo looked at the disciples who were practicing the secret art of the Xuanfa, his eyes were bright, and his heart was full of envy, wondering if he still had any hope of becoming one of them, entering the martial arts like them, and then chasing the ethereal immortality.

In this world, martial artists are high and respected, ordinary people are as low as dogs, and their lives are like mustard, if they really have nothing to do with martial arts, then in this life, they can only be an obscure and mediocre medicine boy.

Secretly sighed, Ye Luo's expression was a little gloomy, and his steps became slow, and while walking, he could feel that some disciples on both sides of the mountain road were condescending, as if looking down at an ant, and it was conceivable that their eyes must be full of contempt and disdain at this moment.

"Back then, I Ye Luo struggled to survive, worked hard, washed dishes, worked as a small security guard, mixed from an ordinary employee at the bottom of a company to the white-collar class, and I never encountered any setbacks? I still don't believe it, I will never be able to turn over in this world! Say that I have nothing to do with martial arts? There is no absolute in the world, there is always a way! There is always a way!"

Ye Luo swung his fist vigorously, self-motivated, shook his spirit, and strode towards the back mountain.

............

The Golden Dragon Mountain Range stretches for 100,000 miles, and each peak towers into the sky, giving people an irresistible immense coercion.

Looking down on the Golden Dragon Mountains from the sky, like a giant dragon lying down, whenever the sun rises, those mountains that are exposed to vegetation will faintly glow with a layer of golden luster, as if plated with a layer of gold, dazzling.

The name "Golden Dragon" of the Golden Dragon Mountain Range is derived from this.

It is said that in the ancient period when the strong were numerous, the area around the Jinlong Mountain Range was still an endless plain, and later many strong men with the power of the heavens started a duel here, guiding the earth to either rise into a mountain peak or crack into an abyss. In the end, one of the supreme powerhouses in that duel fell, and the golden blood in the body of that fallen powerhouse spilled down, dyeing the entire Golden Dragon Mountain Range with a golden color......

It's just that legends are legends after all, and people in later generations have listened to them, but they smiled indifferently, and few people will take it seriously.

The Golden Dragon Pavilion where Ye Luo is located, is built on the edge of the Golden Dragon Mountain Range, occupies hundreds of peaks, there are thousands of disciples in the pavilion, it is the premier martial arts holy land within a radius of thousands of miles, the magnificent palaces, built by the mountains and waters, majestic and magnificent, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, amazing.

In the mountain behind the Golden Dragon Pavilion, there are more than a dozen low peaks, the slopes are lush and green, and there are many elixirs growing, but these elixirs are not wild, but planted by the disciples of the Golden Dragon Pavilion, and after growing to a certain year, they will be picked and sent to the Danfang, and handed over to Zong Tiancai to refine various elixirs.

These low peaks are not very steep and are much easier to climb than those that are more than a thousand feet high and steep. After Ye Luo became a medicine boy, every few days, Zong Tiancai would take him here to pick elixirs, and after a long time, Ye Luo could already identify the shape, color, and character of many elixirs.

It was nearly noon, but the clouds and mist in the mountains were still not dispersed, and among the clouds and mist, it could be seen that on one of the low slopes, a young man bent over and bowed his back, and his figure appeared from time to time, shuttling back and forth between the elixirs in the mountains, and from time to time put the elixirs picked down into the big bamboo basket behind him.

The boy is none other than Ye Luo.

At this moment, there were already hundreds of elixirs in the big bamboo basket behind Ye Luo, but they were still far from the task assigned by Zong Tiancai.

Ye Luo is not a cultivator, his physique is average, he climbs mountains and mountains, keeps picking, the clothes on his body have long been soaked with sweat, and a pair of naturally fair and slender palms have also ground out a few small blood blisters.

Ye Luo secretly complained, couldn't help but greet the ancestors of Zong Tiancai again, and then thought that if he couldn't hand in the elixir on time, he would face the fate of being expelled from the pavilion, so he had to wipe the sweat on his forehead, motivate himself a few words, and continue to pick.

A moment later, Ye Luo climbed to the top of the peak and sat down to rest on a bare rock.

"Huh? That's ......."

With a casual glance, Ye Luo found that there was a red shadow flashing between several boulders a few feet away, and under curiosity, he got up and walked over, and when he looked inside, the red shadow was actually a palm-sized, red lotus flower, which exuded a rich fragrance against the backdrop of a few green leaves.

"It's actually a fire lotus! It seems that it should be a hundred percent. More than a hundred years of elixir, belongs to the medium-grade elixir, can refine the medium-grade elixir, the value is very high, if I bring this fire lotus back to the sect medicine master, it is enough to make up for the mistake of destroying a furnace of elixir, maybe that old man will be happy, and he will spare me this drudgery!"

Ye Luo sniffed the fragrance of the fire lotus hard, only to feel refreshed, and the tired feeling all over his body was swept away.

That fire lotus, growing between the cracks of a mountain rock, is extremely hidden, if you don't pay attention, it is really difficult to find, and now it is inadvertently seen by Ye Luo, which can be regarded as his luck.

Ye Luo's eyes flashed with excitement, his right arm passed through the gap between the two mountain stones, and his hand grasped the rhizome of the fire lotus, and with a light force, he could pull it out from the crack in the stone.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew in his face, Ye Luo's mind was suddenly dizzy, and then a flower appeared in front of him, and a colorful light burst out from the stone crack on the left side of the fire lotus like lightning, and bit it on Ye Luo's right arm.

Ye Luo was suddenly attacked, let go of the fire lotus, his arm quickly retracted, and he stared at the colorful mang, and immediately gasped.

It was a multicolored flower snake with a thin arm and a foot long, the snake's body was coiled on a raised mountain rock, its huge triangular head was held high, and a pair of humanized eyes were scorching, staring at Ye Luo.

"I heard the sect medicine master say, all the wild elixirs that are old are usually guarded by spirit beasts, and you have to be very careful when picking them, how did I forget this? It is said that the more the snake, the more poisonous it is, and this snake has a colorful body, isn't it a huge poison?"

Ye Luo took a few steps back, quickly glanced down at the bitten right arm, and saw a row of deep tooth marks appear at the wound, the area near the tooth marks was red and swollen, and the blood flowed endlessly, and in an instant, the entire right arm was swollen almost transparent, the pain quickly intensified, and half of the body became numb.

"It's over, it's over! I haven't picked the elixir, but my life is going to be confessed here!"

Ye Luo was shocked, turned around and ran, thinking that Zong Tiancai was a pharmacist, although he was only a low-grade pharmacist, but the snake venom should still be able to be solved, and he only hoped that he could insist on running back to the Danfang, and he would not die halfway.

He ran a few steps away, suddenly heard the sound of the wind behind his head, and then his body tightened, as if he was wrapped in something, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but cry out "wow".

Ye Luo's act of picking the fire lotus just now obviously angered the colorful flower snake, and after biting Ye Luo, he still didn't understand his hatred, so he burst out of the air, catching up with Ye Luo at an unbelievable speed, and wrapped his body tightly with the long snake body.

This colorful flower snake has lived for hundreds of years, has been entrenched around the fire lotus, regarded it as a forbidden belly, and occasionally goes outside to swallow some elixir, over time, there is already a weak true element in the body, even if a star realm cultivator encounters it, it is difficult to ask for benefits, not to mention Ye Luo, a little medicine boy who has no power to restrain the chicken?

The power of the multicolored flower snake is extremely great, after wrapping Ye Luo's body, the snake's body suddenly tightened inward, Ye Luo only felt a strong pressure pressing, and in the crisp sound of "popping", several sternums were broken one after another, and the internal organs suffered heavy damage, spurting out several mouthfuls of blood one after another.

At this moment, a sharp roar sounded, and a large black eagle rushed out from the top of the opposite mountain, spread its huge wings several feet wide, and carried a gust of wind, swooping towards this side like a sharp arrow, and in the blink of an eye it was close to the front.

The black eagle's pair of sharp claws were black and shiny, as thick as a child's arm, shaped like an iron hook, and suddenly stretched out, firmly grasping the snake body of the multicolored flower snake, and then the giant wings fluttered, and even the colorful flower snake and Ye Luo rushed into the air.

The fierce birds and beasts in this Golden Dragon Mountain, nourished by the true yuan of heaven and earth, most of them are spiritual, and most of them are extremely fierce and cruel, blood-devouring, they not only feed on human cultivators, but also often kill each other, this snake and an eagle are old enemies for many years, and they all want to destroy each other, this time the colorful flower snake was distracted to deal with Ye Luo, and finally the eagle who was secretly peeping seized the opportunity.

On the ground, the multicolored flower snake is not afraid of the eagle, but in the air, it is the world of the eagle.

The eagle's flying speed is amazing, and when his wings flutter, it is a distance of 100 zhang, Ye Luo was in a trance, only to feel the wind whistling in his ears, his eyes could not be opened at all, and he faintly felt that the body of the colorful snake kept writhing, and it seemed that he was fighting fiercely with the eagle.

This snake and eagle, although they both belong to low-level spirit beasts, but between the fights, it is also the true yuan agitation, Ye Luo is not a martial artist, the flesh is mortal, how can he resist the fierce and powerful true yuan impact? In an instant, the clothes were shattered, the skin was opened, and the blood was dripping.

There was a burst of blackness in front of him, most of his body was unconscious, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, Ye Luo knew that this was a sign of imminent death, and sighed in his heart, closing his eyes and waiting for death.

Suddenly, the snake body of the multicolored flower snake trembled violently, as if it had been severely injured by the eagle, and then the snake body quickly let go, and Ye Luo broke away from the snake body and fell sharply towards the towering mountains below.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Luo, who still had a wisp of consciousness left, only felt that his body was soft, and he seemed to be lifted by a soft force, and his fall slowed down, and then there was a soft sound of "bang", and his body was immersed in a piece of liquid.

The body covered in bruises was soaked by the liquid, like ten thousand needles stabbing together, and the boundless pain instantly overwhelmed Ye Luo's remaining consciousness......
