"Teacher, the medicinal materials are available, let's hurry up and advance. As soon as he returned to the room, Yao Yan couldn't wait to call the medicine man from the sea of souls

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not like you can advance with an elixir. The pill can only temporarily unblock your meridians, and being able to advance is the effect of your cultivation. And there is a time limit for the efficacy of the drug, and it can only be promoted within the time of the effect. The medicine man slowly floated out of Yaoyan's soul sea.

"Oh, I see, it turns out that I also need to cultivate, I thought that as long as there were enough pills, I could keep breaking through. "Originally, Yao Yan thought that he had a special physique, and he could be promoted to a demigod or even a god with only the elixir. Now I have been ruthlessly poured cold water by reality, and I instantly have a feeling of bankruptcy.

Yao Yan retrieved the lost right hand holding the storage crystal from mid-air, and slowly put the things in his hand on the table at the head of the bed. Then he sat on the bed and continued to practice his "Dragon's Breath" exercise.

"Are you cultivating?" the medicine man stared at Yao Yan who was in the meditation, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Otherwise, are you sleeping?" Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a little speechless.

"You don't even have a cyclone at this stage, and it's useless to cultivate the exercises. "The medicine man is a little funny.

"How can you practice qi without cultivating the exercises, how can you break through?" Yao Yan looked at the medicine man suspiciously, isn't cultivation all cultivation exercises? Is there a shortcut?

"Hehe, people know that there are birds and eggs in the world, but few people know whether the birds come first or the eggs come first. It's like not knowing whether there is the practice or the true qi first. The medicine man sighed a little seriously.

"Oh, then, teacher, tell me, the bird or the egg came first?" Yao Yan couldn't help but be a little funny, the question of chicken or egg is also very popular on Earth.

"Naturally, there was a first, a long time ago, the bird was not a bird, but another beast, but the beast in the egg mutated, and when the shell was broken, it could fly, so there was the first bird. Nowadays there are many species of birds, some are aggressive, and some are grain-eating birds. Along with a bird with many different colors, just like the evolution of mutation, there is always one bird whose mutated color is more suitable for survival, so as to survive in another environment, and then mutate into more powerful survival organs. Of course, if the weak one mutates, the weak will be wiped out, thus interrupting the mutation. "The medicine man seems to be telling a story to a child.

"This ...... Let's talk about something related to cultivation. Yaoyan sounded a little blind, and didn't want to continue on this topic.

"In fact, just like mutation and evolution, no one knew that there was true qi in ancient times, and later there was a tribe where there was a kind of person who looked weak and could beat a very strong person, and the tribe people asked him how to make his strength stronger. Since then, the first batch of immortal cultivators have appeared, but they are not completely immortal cultivators, because they have no exercises, they just simply use their innate special physique to naturally improve their realm. Many people can only cultivate to the current Qi cultivation period, and only a very small number of talented people can only cultivate to the end of their lives. Later, after countless generations of geniuses studied the true qi, there were exercises and martial arts in the world. "The medicine man tirelessly taught Yaoyan.

"Oh, and then?" Yao Yan listened a little intently.

"There is a reason why cultivators in the ancient period who practiced to the Qi cultivation stage could not advance to the Jiedan. After years of research, the exercises can only help the cultivator control the true qi, and the martial arts can only make the true qi more lethal. Therefore, now the operation exercises can only make you more proficient in the operation of true qi. If you want to improve the realm, this method is wrong, and you should fight. The medicine man spoke earnestly.

"You're kidding, aren't you? Ichiju is really angry? a child, who are you going to fight? and fighting...... It's not okay......" Yaoyan was a little speechless, his teacher actually instigated him to fight?

"Oops, if you go out to fight with a heavy true anger, you are looking for death, and an ordinary adult can beat you out for an overnight meal. The medicine man turned to the coffee table and poured a cup of tea.

"What, what should I do? There is too little true qi, I can't fight, I can't practice martial arts, and now I can't even practice the exercises. Yao Yan suddenly became overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to practice the exercises, there is naturally a more effective way. I'll practice the pill you used to advance first. The medicine man took a sip of the tea in his hand. Then with a big move, the storage on the table in front of Yao Yan lit up. Immediately, eight Luo Tian, sixteen Xiu Ming grasses, and the beast cores flew towards the medicine man together.

At the same time, in a conference room on the second floor of the Sortore Auction House, Xue Ji and Zhang He sat silently opposite each other on both sides of the conference table.

"Fourth uncle, don't blame yourself, it's not your responsibility, and I can't keep him. Yukihime spoke first to break the quiet air.

"Yukihime, thank you for your comfort, this time we miscalculated, if there is a next time, we must leave him behind. Zhang He left his seat and slowly walked to the nearest window.

"But ......" Yukihime said halfway but paused again, a little confused.

"But what?" Zhang He turned his head to look at Xue Ji and motioned for her to continue.

"I'm not sure, when I gave him the storage crystal, I saw that his hands were very delicate, not like an old man. Moreover, there are no calluses on the tiger's mouth and thumb and index finger of the right hand that hold the sword for a long time. Yukihime lowered her head, her jade fingers crossed and supported her chin with the back of her hand, trying to remember.

"You mean his voice is pretending?" Zhang He was a little shocked and turned his head to look at Xue Ji.

"Wait. Yukihime raised her head suddenly, as if remembering something: "When I fed him tea, I seemed to see a little bit of his chin and neck, and he didn't have an Adam's apple." ”

"......" When Zhang He heard Xue Ji say that she was feeding tea to the guests, he suddenly thought that this was a scene that only existed on Fengyue occasions, and he was a little embarrassed in an instant, and he didn't know what to say.

Xue Ji saw Zhang He's reaction and immediately reacted. A burst of cherry red instantly spread from the jade neck to the entire pretty face.

"He, he, should, yes, have, have, background, little master. Yukihime's shy words are incoherent. Although she talked a lot at Sortore and even went to the second floor every three days to host an auction, it was the first time she was closest to anyone other than her loved ones.

That is, he was between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. The black robe is too big to see the body type, and can only see the height. The height is about three cubits and five inches, and if there is no physical defect, men should be six to ten years old, and women should be seven to twelve years old. Zhang He calmly analyzed.

"Before, because of his strength, I didn't dare to send someone to follow him. Now gather people to collect the children of the major families who meet the conditions. One by one, the alibi was eliminated, and the last few people were listed. Ask the city guard where he is going again, and the place where he disappeared and the family where the route points can be found out by comparing it with the list. If there are more people, that's fine, as long as you know his family. "Yukihime's composed, formulator plan.

"It's worthy of being the president's daughter, so quickly thought of a way to find someone. It's not early, I'll arrange these things, you go back and rest first. After Zhang He finished speaking, he walked out the door.

"Hmm. Xue Ji glanced at Zhang He, and then turned her eyes away, her mind was full of the black-robed young man.

The medicine man's refining speed was extremely fast, and this time he didn't deliberately slow down for Yao Yan's reference. Eight pills were refined at the same time, and Yao Yan was dumbfounded. In a few breaths, all the herbs turned into eight pills at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, it was put into the storage crystal by the medicine man's beckon.

"Wow!" Although Yao Yan had seen a pharmacist refining medicine, he had never seen it, and he had never even heard of a pharmacist refining more than one pill at the same time.

"Xiao Yanzi, what is this, you will see more powerful ones in the future, have you seen Dan Zheng? The medicine man looked at Yao Yan as if he was looking at a hillbilly who had never seen the market, and he didn't forget to show off at the end.

"Got it, got it, you're amazing, okay, when will I cultivate? How to cultivate?" Yao Yan rolled his eyes, responded perfunctorily, and then turned his gaze from the storage crystal to the medicine man.

"Teach you to refine medicine at noon tomorrow, your refining medicine at this time is fast for true qi cultivation. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the auction to buy a medicine furnace for the alchemist, and then buy some pills according to this list of medicinal materials. Here, you take a look at it first. As he spoke, the medicine man conjured up a piece of paper from the void and threw it at Yao Yan, turning around and pouring himself a cup of tea.

Yao Yan took the medicine list that slowly floated in, and it was written that there were not many medicinal materials and they were all medicinal materials that did not enter the stream, only Luo Ling, Bai Xu, and Ku Zhe. But the numbers are staggering: 100,000 each!

"Oh my God, teacher, why do you want so many medicinal herbs?" Yao Yan saw the last 100,000 plants each, and instantly exclaimed.

"Of course, it's for you to practice, the medicinal effect of the tiered pills is too strong, you can't use it. Even if I neutralize it with other herbs, it will cause damage to your body, and long-term use will cause a lot of permanent damage to your meridians. These herbs are mild, but the medicinal effect is hard, it is estimated that hundreds of plants will have some medicinal effects, but it is suitable for you at this stage. The medicine man didn't seem surprised by Yao Yan's reaction, and his tone was understated.

"Oh, well, let's rest early today, tomorrow is probably a tough battle for me. "Yao Yan walked back and forth twice on Yitongtian Street with a lot of medicine people's gadgets on the street, and it was really late. There was a kind of exhaustion that had calmed down after an intense workout, and he yawned as he lay down on the bed.

The medicine man saw that Yao Yan was already very tired, and Yao Yan was developing and could not exhaust his body, so he did not react.

"Huh~Huh~Huh~" Before the tea in the medicine man's cup was finished, the sound of Yaoyan's heavy breathing as he fell asleep came from the room.

"Hehe, the little guy is good. Walked so far with so many things. The medicine man drank the tea in his hand without emotion, and then poured another cup of tea and drank it all.

"Huh!"

The medicine man sighed, and his body instantly materialized from a translucent soul state. Immediately, the hands were stamped at a very fast speed, and the afterimages of the fingers seemed to appear on the hands in essence, and then the next mark came to an abrupt end. The whole process ended almost instantly, as if only one last seal had been made from beginning to end.

"The Forbidden Spirit Enchantment has begun. ”

The medicine man snorted coldly, and his soul power burst out and enveloped the entire room.

The Forbidden Spirit Enchantment can completely isolate the spiritual power inside and outside the enchantment, and the outside cannot use the spiritual power to detect the inside of the enchantment, and the inside cannot perceive the outside of the enchantment. It's the way of another world.

"Boy, we have gone to great lengths to summon you to the entire world, hoping that you will live up to your expectations and save this entire immortal cultivation world. The medicine man lowered his voice and spoke.

"Nine shadows lead to the sky, the earth sinks, the sky falls! Explosion of cholera, demonic nature, divine heart! Troubled times are not peaceful, against the sky, change life! Hidden destiny, create miracles!"

The medicine man whispered a spell in his mouth, condensing his soul power and slowly pointing the mark in his hand towards Yao Yan's eyebrows.

"Huh!"

Another light sound came from the medicine man's mouth, and then the mark shot out a black line towards Yao Yan's eyebrows at an extremely fast speed. After a few breaths, the black line slowly darkened, and then only left a black spot on Yaoyan's forehead.

"Hidden!"

The medicine man let out another soft snort, and then, the black spots on Yao Yan's forehead gradually faded and finally disappeared. At the same time, the body of the medicine practitioner gradually became transparent.

"Whew~ It's finally done. Little one, this is the hidden seal that these old men have created especially for you, I hope you can escape his hexagram and prevent him from discovering you. After the medicine man finished talking to himself, he withdrew the forbidden spirit enchantment, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and went to rest in Yaoyan's spiritual sea.

A quiet night passed like this, and the next day Yaoyan opened his blurry eyes in the tranquility and shook his head to make himself more awake. After waking up, I changed my clothes and went to wash up and have breakfast. As soon as I went out, I saw Yaoting sitting on a stone bench in the corner of the courtyard, with a solemn face.

"Good morning, Grandpa, aren't you busy today?" Yao Yan walked forward to say hello to the city lord.

Yao Ting looked at Yao Yan from a moment of contemplation, and did not speak for a long time, but the solemnity on his face added a little sorrow.

"Grandpa, has something happened to you? Tell me, maybe I have a solution. Yao Yan saw that Yao Ting had something on his mind to hide

"You know the triennial family test, right?" said Yaoting's first sentence with some difficulty.

"Is it the one who is over seven years old but has a true qi ninefold who will be removed from the direct disciple and assigned to the inner gate? What's wrong with this? Isn't there still two years?" Yao Yan was a little puzzled

"Yes, that's it. Those old immortal guys want to fight for the position of patriarch for their grandson, and take advantage of the fact that I am out of the city for a few days to change the triennial to biennial, just next year you will be an adult, they want to get rid of you as soon as possible, and not give you a chance to find a breakthrough. It is also necessary to expel all the children who did not break through the true qi in the test. Yaoting gritted his teeth with hatred when he said this.

"It's all my fault for bothering my grandfather. Yao Yan was a little embarrassed, although he didn't want to be the patriarch to manage the family's affairs, he just wanted to live his life leisurely. If you have the opportunity, you can travel around the world and take a good look at every plant and tree in this world. But this is grandpa's wish after all, and it is not easy to say it himself.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I've found a way to break through, and ...... I'm your grandson, if I can't even break through this simple test, then wouldn't I be too useless?" Yao Yan originally wanted to say and I worshipped a very powerful master, but after thinking about it, I should not say it, lest Yao Ting find out that the master's character is too bad and he can't get along.

"Really? That's great. No matter what realm you ascend to in the end, after the family test a year later, Grandpa will definitely use the identity of the city lord to let you continue to be a direct disciple, and use all resources to help you cultivate. Yaoting was pleasantly surprised, but he did not forget to favor Yaoting.

"Grandpa, you can just send someone to tell me these things, why don't you go there yourself?" Yao Yan was puzzled as he led Yao Ting into the house. Usually, Yaoting is busy with government affairs, and almost everything is to send someone to inform Yaoyan.

"I'm not going to sit today, I'm here to bring you something good, you must like it. ”

As Yao Ting spoke, he summoned a silver-white long sword from the storage crystal inlaid on his waist card. Yao Yan recognized at a glance that this sword was the one that the medicine man had refined and finally sold at the auction house, but with an extra scabbard inlaid with colored gemstones.

"As soon as I returned to the city last night, the Sotol Auction House sent someone to send an urgent notice, saying that there was an immortal saber that was much stronger than a spirit weapon refined from pure blood crystals for auction. Grandpa has been busy and has no time to spend with you. Yaohui and Xiruo are both guarding the Shangyu Empire on the frontier, and I have always felt very bad to you when you almost grew up alone, and I wanted to buy it back and give it to you at that time. Yao Ting held the scabbard in his left hand, and pulled out half of the sword blade with a slight force in his right hand and gave Yao Yan a look. Then he sheathed the sword and handed it to Yaoyan.

"This sword is particularly sharp and spiritual, so be careful when you play with it and never get close to the blade. Even if you don't touch your fingers, the cold can hurt your fingers. This was discovered by Sotori from a Shandong province when they were picking medicinal herbs in the Savage Mountain, and it may be the sword of the great power who failed to cross the tribulation during the tribulation period. Yao Ting said the origin of this sword while holding Yao Yan.

"Thank you, grandpa. This is Yaoting's heart, and Yaoyan did not refuse. What's more, with the strength of the pharmacist, he will definitely be able to give Yaoting the best return.

"City Lord, it's time for us to go. The guards waiting outside the door urged.

"Yaoyan, grandpa is gone, pay attention to safety when playing. Before leaving, Yaoting didn't forget to tell Yaoyan.

After Yao Yan sent his grandfather out of the courtyard gate to say goodbye, the voice of the medicine man came from the soul sea.

"Don't worry, I won't treat your grandfather badly, the patriarch of your family will be yours sooner or later, and that day is not far away. The medicine man spoke seriously, and he didn't have the playfulness he had before.

On the side of the Sotol Auction House, Xue Ji and Zhang He got up early in the morning.

"Fourth Uncle, what happened yesterday?" Xue Ji was already sitting in the conference room waiting for the results of Zhang He's investigation.

"City Lord's Mansion. As soon as Zhang He entered the door, he said three words.

"So, is there anyone in the City Lord's Mansion who hasn't appeared elsewhere?" Yukihime continued to ask, her words revealing a bit of eagerness.

"Among all the inner disciples and direct disciples of the Yao clan, there is only one person in height and age, but it can't be him. Zhang He thought thoughtfully

"You mean...... Yaoyan?" Yukihime was silent for a moment, and finally said a name.

"Yes, the patriarch's grandson - Yaoyan. Although he had true qi at the age of three, he never broke through in three years. Yesterday, it was impossible to enter a no-man's land in the murderous aura of the guards. And you also saw the strength of that person yesterday, the true qi swept the coffee table, and there was not a drop of water left. Zhang He was a little puzzled, and sat down opposite Xue Ji while analyzing.

"But who is the black-robed man? The sword is not worn at all, not even a trace of blood can be detected. It must be a new sword, a new sword that hasn't been used yet. Yukihime was sure of what she thought.

"Either that, or there is a strong man behind him, or even a force helping him. Zhang He expressed his conjecture.

"Yes, most likely, yesterday I heard that the Yao clan changed the triennial family test to the biennial. The lineage of the Yao clan that supports Yao Yan will definitely stand up to help Yao Yan, and the hidden master behind him has refined a high-grade spirit sword for him. However, this is not reasonable, if this is the case, why would Yao Ting, who is the patriarch of the Yao clan, still bid to buy back that sword? In this way, he lost 1.5 million gold coins in vain, which is not a small amount. His posture at the time did not look like he was deliberately inflating the price. Yukihime assumes and rejects her own guesses.

"Either it's a force that the Yao clan doesn't know, or the black-robed person passing by the Yao clan, or this is the black-robed person's trick. Zhang He is also proposing his own logic based on Xue Ji's vision.

"If it's just a passing by or a trick by the black-robed man, then our clues are all broken. You can only test those who meet the conditions one by one. But could it be a force outside the city? Just here to exchange some change and go out in style?" Xue Ji rubbed her forehead, and then said another conjecture of her own.

"Neither the guards at the gate nor our guards saw anyone dressed in similar black robes, and there were guards on the walls who kept vigil in shifts, and no one was found climbing the wall. Later, I sent more men to make sure that the black-robed man was still in the city. Now there are our people everywhere, especially the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as the black-robed man appeared, they would notify me as soon as possible. Zhang He said, touched the teapot from the coffee table in front of him, poured a cup of tea and drank it all.

For this matter, almost the entire Sortol auction house did not sleep all night. You know, almost every good point of the appearance of a spiritual weapon will be recorded. There are even fewer of the level of the long sword refined by the medicine man, even if it is only seen by an immortal cultivator who knows the goods, its information will gradually spread throughout the entire immortal cultivation world. It's just that this spiritual weapon came too suddenly, and it was too new. He is like an enigma that cannot be left unspeculated and even fascinated by its holder.

A quick knock on the door ended their conversation.

"Enter" Zhang He immediately responded.

"Steward Zhang, the black-robed man appeared. A man who looked like a guard walked in quickly.

"Finally appeared. Zhang He was a little excited.

"He said he would come to our auction house right away. The guard said with some trepidation?

"You guys have been discovered? What else did he say?" Zhang He was a little surprised, there were people in almost the whole city, and even if they were discovered, they would not be seen to follow them.

"Yes, yes, I, we, he, as soon as I went out, found out. The guards heard the accusatory tone in Zhou He's mouth, and they were so frightened that they couldn't say anything. It can be seen that Zhang He is usually a little more strict with them.

"Speak well, I won't eat you again, what is the stammering thing? The ability to do things is so poor, but it is still so young, keep talking!" Zhang He heard the guard's words, and he suddenly became angry.

"He, he, he also said, send again, send again, find that there is, there will be a next time, just, just, just" The guard continued to stammer the words of the medicine man

"Just let me go, you'll do it" Zhang He couldn't control his temper a little, and kicked the guard to the ground.

"Zhang He! Stop! You are like this, he can't say anything, you go out, I'll ask, I'll call you later, you come in again." Xue Ji couldn't stand it anymore, this was the first time Zhang He had beaten his subordinates in front of her.

According to generation, although Zhang He is Xue Ji's fourth uncle, their family all rely on ability to speak. The stronger the ability, the more you can lead the family to glory, and the greater the power in the family. On the contrary, the lower the ability, the more humble the status in the family, and the less power there is. It was because Zhou He always couldn't control his temper that he was assigned to this branch auction house in Sudar. If it weren't for his second-grade pharmacist and some minds to deal with things, it is estimated that he would have been demoted from the family.

"Hmph" Zhou He glared at the guards on the ground, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

"All right, he's gone, you get up and tell me what happened. Yukihime looked at the guards

"Yesterday, according to Steward Zhang's instructions, we kept watch all night around the City Lord's Mansion. This morning, the black-robed man walked out of the back door of the city lord's grandson, Yao Yan's private courtyard. I'm sure we didn't pay attention at the time, everyone stood guard without moving. Then the black-robed man walked towards the auction, and we didn't follow until he turned the corner, and we all sealed our breaths. We only glanced at him and were discovered, and the three of us were instantly led by invisible force, and then he said, 'Go back and tell you Steward Zhang, I will go to the auction house immediately, and the next time I will find him sending someone to follow me, and kill one by one.' Then he put us down and continued our way here, which is almost there. The guards were still a little afraid, and looked out of the door from time to time. The door was not closed, and he knew that Zhang He was listening at the door.

"Uh-huh, okay thank you, hard work. Take these coins to tea. With that, Yukihime took out a gold coin from the storage crystal on the necklace and placed it on the table.

"Thank you, Sister Xue Ji, is there anything else?" the guard took the gold coin and looked at Xue Ji as he was about to turn and leave.

"You wait a minute, the fourth uncle will come in!" Yukihime looked out the door.

"I know everything. Zhang He walked through the door and looked at Xue Ji

"It's not this matter, you shouldn't do it, apologize to this guard first, and then we'll talk about the rest" Yukihime glanced at Zhou He, turned around and ignored it.

"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't do it. "Xue Ji is his boss according to the clan rules, and he knows that Xue Ji always thinks twice before doing anything. There must have been enough reason for him to apologize, so I didn't think much of it.

"No, no, no, Steward Zhang, you are serious, you are right. The guards were a little panicked.

"Okay, let's go, it's none of your business, come, give it to you, go and show your brother the doctor." As he spoke, he took a gold coin from his pocket and threw it at the guard.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Steward Zhang. The guard thanked him a few times before rushing out the door.

"I'm asking you to apologize for your own good, management needs oppression, that's right. But at the same time, you need to be rewarded and close so that you can have a better communication, you can try, maybe you will have a big gain. Now they are afraid of you, and in the future they will avoid you and even harm you. Yukihime glanced at it to make sure the door was closed.

"Well, you make sense, I should try it. But what now?" Zhang He nodded yes, and then asked.

"You go get busy first, and let Xiao Zhou take him to the conference room on the third floor. Yukihime replied casually, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Teacher, shouldn't we scare him like this?" Yao Yan entered the auction door, and finally couldn't help but ask. Along the way, he kept thinking about the scene when the medicine man threatened the guards, and threatened them to kill them next time.

"This is called killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, so that those in charge of the auction house are more restrained, you are still too young. The medicine man looked at a commodity on the auction table in the second auction hall and was a little distracted, "Yaoyan, this piece of iron is strange, let's take a look?"

"Got it, teacher," Yao Yan responded as he walked towards the second auction hall.
