It's been almost a year since Lu Chen went to the medicine garden to help, and according to the regulations of the sect, a certain amount of medicinal herbs need to be handed over.

"Senior Brother Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time, my junior brother has come to hand in a year's miscellaneous tasks, please count the herbs!" After Lu Chen saw Ma Jun, he put down the herbs and hugged his fists to say hello.

"Senior brother, I've finished counting the herbs, and there is no problem. In addition, there is one more thing to inform you that a new disciple who has just started must go out for a trial once a year in order to consolidate his cultivation for the past year. Ma Jun politely introduced.

"Senior brother, the younger brother has just arrived, and he doesn't understand anything, so please give me advice!"

"Since you are helping out in the medicine garden, you naturally know some medicinal herbs, so I suggest that my junior brother choose some trials related to medicinal herbs!"

"Senior brother, can you elaborate on the trial tasks related to medicinal herbs?" Lu Chen asked sincerely.

"Then you choose the task of going to Qingyuan Mountain, a hundred miles away from Qingxia Sect, to find a Sanpinning Divine Flower. ”

"Ningshen Flower, which is very common in our Dongzhou, is the main medicinal material for refining the Myelin Cleansing Pill, and there is a special medicine garden in the sect, which is logically easy to find, and there is no need for the disciples in the sect to go out to find it. But Ning Shenhua is also divided into grades, above the third grade can be used to refine the marrow washing pill to remove the dark wound, and the third grade is one of the main medicines for refining the Zhuji Dan, which is also a test for new disciples in the sect, and the junior brother can go to the herbal classics given to you by Senior Brother Liu to find information. Ma Jun explained to Lu Chen again.

Qingyuan Mountain is located in the middle of the two sects of Qingxia Sect and Xuanyin Pavilion, on the periphery of the mountain range, if there is any danger, it is also some very low-grade demon beasts, which are generally equivalent to the level of two or three layers of qi refining, so the two sects are also assured to let the beginner disciples go to this mountain range to try and consolidate and improve their cultivation.

"Okay, senior brother, I'll set off tomorrow morning to Qingyuan Mountain to find Ning Shenhua!" After thinking about it, Lu Chen chose this task.

"By the way, when will Senior Brother Liu of the Outer Gate Medicine Garden come back?" Lu Chen asked.

"Senior Brother Liu!" Ma Jun's face suddenly darkened.

"The other senior brothers of this sect found Senior Brother Liu's body on the way back to the sect, the traces of the fight are obvious, it should be accidentally involved in right and wrong, and was intercepted and killed, Senior Brother Liu once instructed me to cultivate, he is a good person, hey, it's a pity. ”

"I originally wanted to tell you after a while, I was supposed to pick an easier thing to do when you got to the next year, but now that Senior Brother Liu is gone, you can only continue to be on duty!" Ma Jun looked guilty.

"As a disciple of the outer court, it is right to share the worries of the outer court, and the senior brother does not need to take it to heart. Lu Chen readily agreed to continue the task of helping in the medicine garden.

Thinking of Senior Brother Liu's guidance to him when he first started, Lu Chen sighed with emotion, and secretly warned himself that in addition to working hard to improve his cultivation, he must be careful and careful when he goes out for trials, and at the same time, monks must also be vigilant among themselves, Senior Brother Liu's killing is a bloody lesson, the road to cultivating immortals, one wrong step, may be doomed!

"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice!" Lu Chen hugged his fists and said goodbye to Deacon Ma, returned to the medicine garden to do some preparations, and after finding the environment for the growth of Ningshenhua and the appearance of familiar herbs in the herbal classics, Lu Chen packed up his bags and dry food again.

After Lu Chen left, Ma Jun suddenly realized that his little junior disciple had not been in the beginning for a year, and he was already cultivating in the fourth stage of qi refining, which was faster than that of the Heavenly Spirit Root, but everyone had their own secrets, Mu Xiu was in the forest, and Ma Jun pressed the idea of reporting the matter to Elder Lu of the outer gate.
