Listening to the sound coming from outside the valley, Qin He and Xiao Su'er hurriedly greeted the outside of the valley, and as soon as they walked out of the Ming Medicine Pavilion, Qin He saw a man in a black robe, the man's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but there was a long scar on his face, which looked very scary.

"Under Liu Quan, he is an elder of this sect, and if he wants to see Xiao seniors in something, please let the two of you inform him", seeing Qin He and Xiao Su'er walking out of the Ming Medicine Pavilion, Liu Quan said to the two of them.

"Su Su has seen Elder Liu, grandpa went out early in the morning, before leaving, he told me and Senior Brother Qin, if there are guests coming, we must treat them well, if Elder Liu asks for medicine, don't be afraid to tell me, I will go back to the Ming Medicine Pavilion to help you get it, but if Elder Liu has other things, I'm afraid I can only wait for grandpa to come back." Looking at Liu Quan in front of her, Xiao Su'er bowed slightly and said.

"Oh, it turns out that Xiao Lao is not in the valley, you are Xiao Lao's granddaughter?

"Senior Qin He, meet Senior Liu", hearing Liu Quan talk about himself, before Xiao Su'er could speak, Qin He answered by himself.

"Oh, Qin He, you should be Xiao Lao's apprentice," Liu Quan asked Qin He again.

"The younger master's name is Xiang Qing, and now the master has asked me to follow Xiao Lao to learn body refining, so I naturally treat Xiao Lao as a master."

For some reason, Xiao Su'er on the side listened to the conversation between the two, and always felt that Liu Quan's questioning tone made him very uncomfortable, but after all, he was a senior, and Xiao Su'er didn't want to say much.

"It turns out that you are the new apprentice of the sect master? I have been friends with the sect master for decades, and it is not too much for you to call me uncle, come over and let my uncle take a good look at you." Liu Quan suddenly showed a happy look and said to Qin He.

Hearing Liu Quan say that he had a deep friendship with his master, Qin He did not have the slightest vigilance, and walked towards Liu Quan without hesitation.

Seeing Qin He walking slowly towards him, Liu Quan nodded with a smile, but just as Qin He was about to walk in front of him, Liu Quan pointed slightly with his left hand, and a wave of aura hit Qin He's feet, so fast that Qin He and Xiao Su'er did not notice it at all.

Qin He only felt that he suddenly lost his center of gravity under his feet, and he was about to fall to the ground when he stumbled, however, just when Qin He was about to fall, Liu Yu suddenly rushed to Qin He with an arrow step, grabbed Qin He's wrist, and helped him up.

"Master and nephew should be careful when walking", Liu Yu said as he probed the other bodies through Qin He's wrist, and as a trace of aura invaded Qin He's body, Liu Quan's heart instantly set off a storm.

"Master and nephew must listen to Xiao Lao's words in the valley, and must not live up to your master's expectations, since Xiao Lao is not here, it is inconvenient for me to stay here longer, and when Xiao Lao returns to the valley in a few days, I will come to visit again", Liu Quan finished speaking, and without waiting for Qin He to speak, he turned around and left, looking at Liu Yu's back, Qin He only felt an inexplicable feeling.

"Senior Brother Qin, since Elder Liu has already left, let's go back to eat first", seeing that Liu Yu had already left, Xiao Su'er said to Qin He who was not far ahead.

"This Uncle Liu is so strange, he always feels a little inexplicable when he speaks", Qin He turned around and said to Xiao Su'er.

"It's a little strange, and I don't know why, I always have an uncomfortable feeling when I see him, by the way, Senior Brother Qin, you must pay attention to people you don't know in the future, don't easily trust others, grandpa said, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, you must ......."

Listening to Xiao Su'er's gushing 'teachings', the corners of Qin He's mouth showed a hint of imperceptible smile, this is a happy smile, a smile from the heart, Qin He has not been cared for so much for a long time, he was his father before, and after his father died, no one said such a thing to Qin He again, Qin He was very happy at this time, and he also enjoyed this feeling, he really hoped that someone could always speak this kind of thing to himself, because, the taste of being cared for is really wonderful!

After lunch, Qin He and Xiao Su'er continued to plant medicinal herbs, and the two of them were busy for several hours before loading all the remaining medicinal herbs into the soil, at this time it was almost evening, Xiao Lao also came back from outside, and after coming back, Xiao Lao's back basket was full of various medicinal herbs, these days, Qin He followed Xiao Su'er with the help of Xiao Su'er, and also knew many kinds of medicinal herbs, but when he saw the herbs in Xiao Lao's back basket, Qin He found that except for a small part, most of the herbs he didn't know.

"Qin He, count how many kinds of herbs there are here", Xiao Lao said to Qin He, pointing to the herbs in the basket.

Hearing Xiao Lao's words, Qin He hurriedly squatted down, carefully took out the herbs from the back basket slowly, and counted them carefully, and after a while, Qin He counted them, in order to avoid the possibility of counting wrong, Qin He counted them again.

"Xiao Lao, a total of one hundred and six Chinese medicinal herbs", Qin He said to Xiao Lao.

"Well, one hundred and six, the effect is enough, but there are still two more, and one hundred and eight kinds of medicinal materials need to be gathered to be complete", Xiao Lao touched his white beard and said softly.

"Grandpa, you've picked so many herbs, don't you want to refine any elixir?", Xiao Su'er asked curiously with a pair of big eyes.

"Hehe, the heavenly machine must not be revealed, how to use it specifically, you will know when the time comes, Su Su, later you go and get a few white chicken feathers and some chaff, make up these two, it is one hundred and eight", Xiao Lao pretended to be mysterious, and said to the two with a smile.

Xiao Su'er knew that her grandfather was selling Guanzi again, so she simply ignored Xiao Lao and went directly to get feathers and chaff, and after Xiao Su'er left, Xiao Lao suddenly said to Qin He:

"Qin He, I've been letting you do chores in the valley these days, I've really wronged you, but it's not so easy to learn the art of body refining from me, as the so-called scriptures can't be passed on lightly, and the same is true of my body refining technique, of course, the old man won't ask you for money, you just need to prove your determination to the old man."

Qin He listened to Xiao Lao's words, and only felt extremely excited in his heart, these days, Xiao Lao finally mentioned to himself the matter of teaching his own body refining.

"Elder Xiao, tell me, how can I prove my determination?", Qin He asked a little impatiently.

"It's also very simple, on the back mountain of the Ming Medicine Pavilion, there is a big tree called October Tsubaki, this kind of big tree will sprout in October every year, and then bloom and bear fruit, wait for the fruit to ripen, it will exude a charming fragrance, but the fruit is not edible, people often feel abnormal pain in the abdomen after eating, like a knife twisting, but its core is a good medicinal material, dried with astragalus, Atractylodes and other medicinal materials can have the effect of clearing the eyes and mind, you only need to bring me a core of October Tsubaki, even if you prove your determination", Xiao Lao said to Qin He unhurriedly.

"Okay, then I'll go and get the pits of October Tsubaki now," Qin He said, and hurriedly ran towards the back mountain.

Xiao Lao saw Qin He's anxious look, but he didn't stop him, but shouted at him from behind:

"Qin He, it's getting dark, you must pay attention to safety on the road." As soon as Qin He left, Xiao Su'er came to Xiao Lao's side with the feathers and chaff of the white chicken.

"Grandpa, why isn't Senior Brother Qin here?", Xiao Su'er found that Qin He was not there, and put the feathers and chaff on the wooden table and said.

"I asked Qin He to go to the back mountain to get some medicinal materials, and he will come back later, Su Su, take these medicinal materials and follow me, it will come in handy later", Xiao Lao did not tell Xiao Su'er, he asked Qin He to go to the back mountain to pick the core of October Tsubaki, but just asked Xiao Su'er to bring these one hundred and hundred Chinese medicinal materials and prepare to go to the small house next to him to refine medicine.

The sky gradually became dark, after Qin He left the valley of the Ming Medicine Pavilion, he kept running towards the back mountain, half an hour later, Qin He finally came to the back mountain, just arrived at the back mountain, Qin He smelled a strong fragrance, followed the fragrance to find, Qin He came to a big tree, this big tree is unusually lush, seven or eight feet high, several people hug each other, there are many dense spikes on the tree, Qin He looked up and looked along the tree, only to see a few bright red fruits at the end of the top of the tree, and the fragrance that he smelled before was emanating from the fruit。

"Presumably this is what Yao Lao said, while the sky can still be seen, I will quickly climb up and pick the fruit", as he spoke, Qin He slowly put his hands on the October Tsubaki, raised his feet and crawled towards the October Tsubaki. However, as soon as Qin He's feet left the ground, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his hands, in order to climb higher, Qin He could only hold on to some of the spikes on the October Tsubaki tree, and gradually, as Qin He climbed higher and higher, the shoes on his feet were also pierced by the spikes on the tree, and blood began to flow from his hands and feet.

"Keep going, you will be able to pick the fruit soon", Qin He endured the pain, cheering himself up, while slowly moving towards the higher place of the big tree. Finally, after nearly half an hour of hard work, Qin He finally touched the fruit with his hand, Qin He was overjoyed in his heart, not caring about the pain in his hands and feet, Qin He hurriedly picked the fruit, and with a free hand, Qin He grabbed a fruit, and with a little force, he picked the fruit.

"Xiao Lao said that as long as the kernel is there, then I will simply drop it first, and it will be more convenient when I will climb down", only to hear the sound of 'dong', the fruit fell on the ground, at this time it was already late, and the surroundings were already dark, after picking the fruit, Qin He began to climb down carefully.

I thought it would be easier to climb down from under the tree, but what Qin He didn't expect was that going down the tree was more painful than going up the tree, and he didn't know how many wounds his hands and feet had been punctured, with the blood flowing out, Qin He only felt that his whole body seemed to have lost his strength, and there was a feeling of dizziness in his brain, and finally, when Qin He went down to the halfway point of October Chun, Qin He's legs began to tremble, and he seemed to be unable to bear the weight of his body anymore.

"Am I going to die?", in the haze, Qin He's mind kept flashing the figures of some people, including his father, his master Xiang Qing, Xiao Lao, Xiao Su'er, and Xiang Ye'er's .......

"Xiao Lao... I can't learn from you anymore...... Master, I have failed to live up to your expectations...... I really want to see Senior Sister Xiang again...... It's a pity that there is no more chance ... Dad, I'm here to accompany you......". Gradually, as the last trace of consciousness in his mind disappeared, Qin He slowly closed his eyes, and the back mountain of the Ming Medicine Pavilion also slowly regained its calm in the dark.
