Qin Tattoo was wearing gray disciple clothes, and when he walked out, he saw that the clothes were exactly the same as Ming'er, so he asked, "Do all new disciples wear such clothes?"

Ming'er shook her head and said, "The formal disciples all wear the cyan clothes just now, and the stewards in the sect are generally dark gray, and disciples like us who have not officially entered only wear this kind of gray." ”

Qin Wen didn't care very much about these, just casually asked, in his opinion now, it was a success to be able to enter the Hanfeng Gate smoothly for the time being, and if he wanted to find out the secret of the remnant talisman, there should be a longer way to go, unlike looking for the Spirit Eagle Stone in the Tianmi Sect at that time, the Spirit Eagle Stone was a spiritual object after all, no matter where it was placed, as long as Qin Wen could touch this place, the Qinglong Dan Furnace would send a warning vibration.

And the rune paper is the foundation of the Hanfeng Gate, at that time, Qin Wen also traded some low-level rune paper outside, and the touch on the Qinglong Dan Furnace is almost untraceable, if you want to find the relationship between the remnant rune and the Qinglong Dan Furnace, you must contact the particularly high-level monks in the Hanfeng Gate to have hope.

With his current status, there are still a lot of things to do, but Qin Wen is not worried about the matter of cultivation, he has his own skills, no matter where he practices, it is the same, although he delays some cultivation time in the Hanfeng Gate, but it can be regarded as a kind of experience in the state of mind, not to mention that if he can uncover the secret of the Qinglong Dan Furnace one day earlier, it should be of greater help to his future development.

Now in the medicine valley, except for Shen Danshi, who is in retreat, there are only two people left, he and Ming'er are left, Qin Wen is a newcomer, in the afternoon, what Ming'er does, he will follow, maintaining the medicine garden is a familiar thing for him, basically Ming'er's two-day work is done in two hours.

As the sun set, after Ming'er saw more Qin Wen as a helper, it was much easier to tidy up the medicine garden by herself, so she happily let Qin Wen sit next to her and rest first, and he went to the kitchen to cook.

When Ming'er was cooking, Qin Wen also slowly familiarized himself with the situation of the medicine valley, the medicine valley occupies a whole small valley, with a radius of more than 100 acres, their current location is in the middle of the valley, a total of one out and one in the courtyard, there are six or seven houses in the front yard, there is no wall outside, the backyard may be where Shen Danshi lives, the gate left in the front yard is closed, Shen Danshi should be in retreat in the backyard.

After Qin Wen and Ming'er had dinner, Ming'er took Qin Wen to a house on the west side of the front yard, and said to Qin Wen: "For the time being, you can rest here, and when Master comes out of retreat, it may be rearranged in the future, by the way, I still have a mattress in my room, if you want, bring two more over." ”

Qin Wen saw that there was a simple bed in the room, a set of tables and chairs, and the bedding was relatively clean, so he shook his head and said, "No need, this is fine." ”

After Ming'er walked out of the room, Qin Wen sat cross-legged on the bed and breathed, just when Qin Wen's nine weeks had not yet been completed, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then heard Ming'er shouting in a low voice outside the door: "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you open the door." ”

Qin Wen slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was still dark outside the window, so he got out of bed and opened the door with some doubts, and saw that Ming'er in front of him was already dressed neatly, with a bundle of rope on his shoulder, and a bright axe in his hand, so he asked with doubts: "Ming'er, what are you doing here?"

Ming'er said with some hesitation: "Let's go to the back mountain to chop firewood, the master stipulates that firewood is cut every ten days, and every time she goes out of the customs, the firewood room must be full." ”

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, before he came, the whole valley was just Danshi and Ming'er, even if they were cooking and burning firewood, they couldn't use too much firewood and grass, and they had to fill the firewood room every time, aren't they afraid that the firewood and grass placed in it would rot away? Although Qin Wen didn't quite understand that it was weishenme, since it was the rule of the medicine valley, he nodded and asked, "Then do I have an axe?"

Ming'er nodded and said, "I'm ready, just outside the door." Qin Wen looked down, and sure enough, there was an axe similar to the one mentioned by Ming'er, and he picked it up, and found that the axe was still relatively heavy, it should not be made of ordinary steel, and even the handle of the axe was made of smoke and ink wood, which was extremely hard.

Qin Wen retracted slightly, and Ming'er went out of the valley mouth together, and walked towards the back mountain, at this time it was the dead of night, and the back mountain was also empty, occasionally there were a few sharp bird calls, Qin Wen saw Ming'er's body trembling obviously, and walked for about half a pillar of incense time, and Qin Wen saw a large woods of smoke and ink wood on a hillside.

Ming'er pointed to the smoke and ink wood forest and said: "The master stipulates that it is to cut firewood here, and it is ordinary branches for cooking on weekdays, and these smoke and ink firewood are usually used by the master for alchemy." ”

Qin Wen only then understood that the smoke ink wood was hard, the ignition time was long, and the burning flame was relatively fixed, slightly lower than the temperature of the earth fire, but when refining some special pills, the heat was easier to control than the earth fire, and the quality of the pills would be better.

Ming'er walked to a smoke and ink tree, first unloaded the rope on her shoulder, and then came to Qin Wen's side, compared it with the axe handle and said, "Brother Qin, Master said that as long as these firewood are thicker than the axe handle, don't cut the thinner ones, let's just cut two bundles today." ”

Qin Wen nodded, picked up the axe in his hand and used his vitality to cut it down on a tree, he was going to cut down a tree first, and then sort out two bundles of firewood, but he didn't expect that after the axe touched the smoke and ink tree, the vitality seemed to disappear completely, leaving only a white trace on the tree.

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood, this smoke and ink tree also has a characteristic that is different from other trees, that is, the attack of isolating the vitality, and some thousand-year-old smoke and ink trees cannot be ignited with the yuan fire, Ming'er saw that Qin Wen was in a daze at this time, so he came to Qin Wen and said: "Brother Qin, this kind of smoke and ink tree can be isolated from the attack of the vitality, and it can only be cut with the liliang on the body, and generally the disciples who are just starting out will also be sent here to cut wood." ”

Qin Wen nodded, seeing that Ming'er had already rolled up her sleeves at this time, skillfully cutting down the tree, only about one point at a time, it seemed that if you wanted to cut down a tree, it was estimated that there would not be an hour that could not be completed, Qin Wen also cut down the tree in front of him, and for a while, the sound of cutting trees came from the empty valley.

After a stick of incense, Qin Wen saw that Ming'er was already sweating on her forehead, so she said, "Ming'er, you better rest for a while, anyway, it's a day, I estimate that I can cut two bundles myself." ”

Ming'er shook her head and said, "Master once said that Master Dan also needs to exercise physical strength, this time Master retreats for a little longer, let's go up the mountain a few more times, and we can fill the firewood room." ”

Qin Wen heard Ming'er say about physical strength, his heart suddenly moved, he is now also practicing the Canglong Jue, I don't know if this smoke and ink tree can isolate the vitality, can it isolate the yuan power of body cultivation? Thinking of this, Qin Wen first controlled the dantian, and then used the Yuan power of the Canglong Jue, and slashed towards the smoke and ink tree, "Bang", sawdust splashed, and the entire axe was submerged in the body of the tree.

Ming'er was also startled by the sound coming from Qin Wen's side, and turned around to see that Qin Wen's axe had sunk into the tree, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Qin, how did you do it?"

Qin Wen saw that the Canglong Jue was really useful, so he smiled slightly and said: "Ming'er, you don't have to cut it, I will cut down this tree in a few more strokes, if you want to exercise, just cut off the useful branches on it in a while." ”

As he spoke, Qin Wen continued to run the Canglong Jue, and cut it down one by one, and it didn't take a few clicks to cut down a smoke and ink tree on the ground, Qin Wen looked at the tree with a big bowl mouth, if he wanted to cut down two bundles of firewood, he had to cut down another tree, and looked at Ming'er who was stunned next to him and said, "You chop this tree into firewood first, and I will cut down another one." ”

Ming'er walked to the tree with her axe a little at a loss, and asked Qin Wen while chopping, "Brother Qin, you cut so fast, can we go back before dawn?"

Qin Wen looked up at the eastern sky, the morning star had not yet risen, and after calculating the time slightly, he nodded and said, "If the speed is faster, you should be able to rush back before dawn." ”

Ming'er agreed "oh", and quickly cut it up, Qin Wen didn't know what Ming'er was doing when he asked this question, it was estimated that he saw that he was cutting wood faster today, so he wanted to save a day's time to do something of his own, so he didn't think deeply, now there are only Danshi and Ming'er in the medicine valley, although the unmasked Danshi doesn't know what his temper is, but now he and Ming'er get along very well.

Under Qin Wen's rapid felling, another smoke and ink tree was cut down, at this time Ming'er had just chopped half a bundle of firewood, Qin Wen knew that Ming'er wanted to go back earlier, so he didn't take the slightest rest, and then quickly waved the axe, and before the sky was slightly bright, he tied up two bundles of firewood.

After the two of them picked up the firewood and walked down the mountain, Qin Wen saw that Ming'er's face was obviously relieved, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but on the way back to the Medicine Valley, Qin Wen also met many disciples who went to the back mountain with axes like them.

After returning to the Medicine Valley, Shen Danshi had not yet come out of the retreat, Ming'er seemed very happy, because the cutting of firewood was basically Qin Wen's credit, Ming'er let Qin Wen go back to the room to rest, and he went to the kitchen to make breakfast by himself.
