Chapter 5: Preparation Before the Trial

Tianling Peak and Earth Spirit Peak are the two peaks of the entire Tianhe Sect that have been turned into forbidden areas, and it is strictly forbidden for any disciple to enter the range of the two peaks, because on these two peaks, the only Fu Dao Grandmaster and Alchemist in the sect live respectively.

The wide terraced fields between the two peaks are planted with various medicinal herbs, full of greenery, and full of flowers.

A simple wooden house standing in the middle of a medicine field.

A thin figure was busy clearing weeds in the medicine field.

This is a thin girl with a sickly dark blue on her face.

A figure, stepping on a bamboo leaf-like flying magic weapon, flew crookedly from the sky above the Earth Spirit Peak.

The petite figure who was busy in the medicine field straightened up and rested for a while, just in time to see the figure staggering towards him.

"Brother, brother...... Where did you get this flying weapon?"

The petite figure jumped up excitedly and waved at the figure in the air.

The bamboo leaf-shaped magic weapon slowly landed, Xia Yin smiled and put the magic weapon into the storage bag, and then strode towards the petite figure, hugged it and turned it around several times in a row.

The girl was held in a circle by her brother, and a heartfelt smile appeared on her dark blue face, and she hugged her brother's neck tightly.

"Yoyo, brother has finally obtained a place to participate in the trial of the five major sects!"

In front of his sister, Xia Yin, who did not smile in front of others, finally revealed his truest side.

Youyou, who was still smiling just now, was shocked, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Brother, didn't I tell you not to participate in any of the five major sect trials? It's too dangerous, and Yoyo doesn't want you to take the risk!"

Xia Yin stopped spinning in circles, put Youyou down, and stroked his sister's withered yellow hair: "What are you talking about, isn't all my brother's efforts over the years to cure the cold disease on your body? As long as I can find the Yin Devouring Grass in the forbidden land, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of me, I will kill it!"

"But the people who participated in the trial were all disciples of the major sects...... My brother cultivates as a talent......"

"Silly girl, my brother will be fine, and he will definitely bring back the Yin Devouring Grass, let Master Wu refine the Burning Sun Pill, and make your illness better!"

Xia Yin stroked his withered yellow hair, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "For the sake of Youyou, no one can stop my way!"

Youyou still wanted to speak, but he saw a figure shoot from the Earth Spirit Peak, and landed on the side of the two in a blink of an eye.

"Boy, you actually obtained the qualification for the trial of the five major sects?"

The visitor was a scruffy fat old man, greasy, with small eyes and fat turnip-like fingers vigorously twitching and digging in his nostrils.

However, as soon as Xia Yin saw this person, his face instantly became respectful: "Without your help in alchemy, Master, even if I participate in the trial and bring back the Yin Devouring Grass, I will not be able to curb the disease of Youyou Yin Cold, and I have to thank Master Wu for his help!"

"Hmph, don't give the old man this set, the reason why the old man helps you is also for himself, the entire Tianhe Sect, only your kid planted the elixir to satisfy the old man, over the years, you planted the elixir for the old man, and the old man gave you the Burning Sun Pill to curb the cold in your sister's body, and it can be regarded as taking what you need, no need to thank you!"

Xia Yin shook his head slightly: "Compared to the Lieyang Pill that the predecessors have rewarded over the years, the disciple's small contribution is not worth mentioning, the great kindness of the seniors, the disciple remembers it in his heart!"

The old man rolled his eyes: "Bear in mind that there is a fart in your heart, you just don't forget to promise the old man about it, and bring back those elixirs from the forbidden area!"

While speaking, the old man reluctantly pulled out his fingers from his nostrils, stretched them into his pocket and touched them for a long time, and finally took out a bottle of elixir and threw it to Xia Yin: "This is Yulin Pill, just give the old man the reward for finding the elixir!"

Xia Yin took the pill and bowed deeply to Master Wu: "Thank you senior!"

The Yulin Pill is a healing elixir, which is difficult for even those foundation building monks in the sect to obtain, and only Jindan stage monks are qualified to have it.

This alchemy master seems to have a strange temper that no one can get close to, but he still takes great care of his brother and sister, if it weren't for the Burning Sun Pill given by Master Wu over the years, he would have been killed by the cold disease!

Of course, all this is inseparable from their own efforts!

The old man didn't pay attention to Xia Yin, and turned straight into a blue light and shot towards the Earth Spirit Peak, and a word came from the air.

"The trial of the five major sects will take a month, and the old man of this elixir will take time to take care of it, and this account will be slowly calculated when you come back!"

Xia Yin couldn't help but smile wryly.

This senior, obviously helping himself, makes it like a deal every time.

Of course, in the entire Tianhe Sect, only he was so lucky, and others didn't have this treatment!

Even if Zuo Yunlong, the head of the sect, wanted to ask Master Wu to do something, he had to pay a sufficient price.

This Master Wu is known as "Wu Plucking", and he never suffers a loss in business......

Coming back to his senses, Xia Yin said to Youyou: "Time is very tight, I have to water and fertilize the elixir first, and then I have to start cultivating!"

While speaking, Xia Yin had already begun to seal his hands non-stop, and then pointed to the sky......

A fresh breeze hit, and dark clouds began to condense in the low sky above the two people's heads.

Clouds and rain.

A moment later, a light rain fell from the sky and fell on the medicine fields.

This piece of black cloud occupies an area of one acre, which is already the limit range of Xia Yin's condensation of clouds and rain, and the cloud condensation time can only last for half a moment.

After walking quickly out of the rain coverage, Xia Yin stopped in the middle of another medicine field, and once again cast the Cloud Condensation and Rain Decision, condensing the clouds, and then turning the rain......

Half an hour later, under Xia Yin's continuous use of condensing clouds and turning rain, all the medicine fields were watered with rain.

In the past half an hour, Xia Yin's mana had already been overdrawn several times, and his mental power was even more seriously overdrawn, but he was able to survive it with great perseverance.

This move of draining the spiritual power of mana has lasted for a full fourteen years, making Xia Yin's will even more indestructible, and there is also an advantage to doing so, it can exercise spiritual power.

Although his innate spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary people, the biggest reason why Xia Yin's spiritual power can meet the requirements of refining low-level talismans is that he grits his teeth every day and persists, and constantly refines his spiritual power by overdrawing his mana.

Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the medicine field, Xia Yin began to meditate and recover.

Yoyo took out a cotton cloth from his pocket, gently wiped the sweat on Xia Yin's face and forehead, and looked at his brother with a look full of regret.

For so many years, my brother has worked so hard and cultivated so hard to cure his cold disease!

Two hours later, most of his mental power and mana had recovered.

Xia Yin stood up and began to seal quickly, pointing his index finger towards the ground void......

Wisps of smoke-like earth qi were extracted from the depths of the earth, enveloping a field of medicine.

The earth qi is decisive, extracting the earth qi from the depths of the earth and nourishing the elixir, which is also a daily uninterrupted fertilization measure.

Like the Cloud Condensation and Rain Decision, there is also a time limit after the Earth Qi Spell is cast, but it takes a little longer and can last for a full moment.

Moreover, the exertion of the earth's qi decide, which consumes much less mana and spiritual power, is much less than that of condensing clouds and turning rain.

Walking out of the smoke-like earth qi shrouded range, Xia Yin cast a spell seal again, extracting the earth qi, and another piece of elixir was shrouded in the misty earth qi......

Half an hour, fertilization is completed.

Although the cost of the Earth Qi Technique was relatively small, Xia Yin, whose mana had only recovered most of it, still emptied his body again......

This kind of masochistic method can only be adhered to by a person with extraordinary perseverance like Xia Yin.

In the past, Master Wu recruited the handymen who took care of the medicine field, but no one could bear this kind of pain, so most of the elixir in the medicine field always died, which made Master Wu furious......

And Xia Yin is the only one who can continue to perform the Cloud Condensation Rain Determination and Earth Qi Determination, and take good care of these medicinal fields, which is also the reason why Xia Yin can stand out among the countless miscellaneous servants and be valued by Master Wu.

After stopping the spell, Xia Yin was so tired that he almost collapsed, and staggered to the wooden house where the brother and sister lived, and pushed the door in.

The wooden house was simply furnished, except for a long sword hanging on the wooden wall, a square table, two beds, and pots and pans in the corner.

This time, Xia Yin did not use meditation and cultivation to recover his mana and spiritual power, but tried to control his crumbling body, prepared the cinnabar talisman pen on the table, took out a large stack of blank talisman paper, and began to practice drawing talismans.

Because of the serious overdraft of his body, Xia Yin felt that the talisman in his hand seemed to be heavy, but the expression on his face was calm, and he naturally entered the state of drawing talismans, and at the same time, his heart was silently running low-level grass and trees, slowly recovering his mana and spiritual power.

In the past fourteen years, in addition to eating and sleeping, Xia Yin has spent this way, never wasting even a moment of effort.

On weekdays, in addition to fertilizing and watering a large area of medicinal fields, he also had to clean the room of the Great Elder of Tianling Peak and clean up some garbage after drawing talismans.

Diametrically opposed to Master Wu's sloppiness, the Great Elder was born with a habit of cleanliness, but he was immersed in rune cultivation all day long, and he needed a person with quick hands and feet to clean up and tidy up every day.

At the beginning, the Great Elder took a fancy to Xia Yin's quick hands and feet, so he cheekily asked Master Wu to ask Xia Yin to not only plant elixirs for Master Wu, but also clean the room for the Great Elder, sort out some low-level talisman paper and other miscellaneous things.

It is this kind of opportunity, coupled with his own efforts, that in the past fourteen years, Xia Yin has laid an extremely solid foundation for the runes......

After hundreds of low-level talismans were drawn, the spiritual power and mana were all fully restored.

Xia Yin sorted out all kinds of low-level talismans and put them in the big box at the head of the bed, leaving only dozens of "barrier-breaking talismans".

The box was already full of all kinds of low-level talismans, no less than 100,000 pieces, which was the result of fourteen years of persistent practice.

After cleaning up, Xia Yin took off the long sword from the wooden wall, and his gaze instantly became gentle, exactly the same as when he looked at Youyou.

Slowly pulling the long sword out of its sheath, Xia Yin's fingertips gently brushed over the blade, and muttered to himself: "Old man, who has been with me for so many years, it's time for you to contribute!"

This is an ordinary long sword, which was forged by Xia Yin himself when he first entered the sect, and it is not even a low-grade magic weapon, but it has accompanied Xia Yin for a full fourteen years.

Holding a sword in his left hand, Xia Yin picked up a talisman from the table with his right hand, and a curved rune was drawn on the talisman, revealing a trace of fierce aura.

The barrier-breaking talisman contains a wisp of gold killing aura.

This kind of talisman is very famous in the world of immortal cultivation because of its sharp characteristics.

The low-level barrier-breaking talisman is pitifully small because of the golden killing aura it contains, and it has almost no power.

However, the middle-level barrier-breaking talisman can break through the foundation building monk's body protection shield, and its power is far superior to that of the best magic weapons, and it can even be compared to the lower grade spirit weapons.

And the high-level barrier-breaking talisman is even more terrifying, it is said to be able to kill Jindan monks in seconds!

It's just that the barrier-breaking talisman is not so easy to refine, even a rune path master like the Great Elder can only refine a small number of high-level barrier-breaking talismans, and the success rate is pitifully low.

And Xia Yin, a rookie who has just stepped into the threshold of the rune path, can only barely refine a low-level barrier-breaking talisman, and the success rate is even more miserable!

In the past fourteen years, Xia Yin has only succeeded in refining about a thousand low-level barrier-breaking talismans......
