It's been half a year since he first entered the mountain, and he has entered the mountain twice in between, but every time he enters the mountain, he vaguely feels that someone is following him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first time, he ran fast and went deep into the mountains, and quickly got rid of it, and he didn't find anything abnormal when he came out of the picking task.

The second time, maybe the other party was prepared, he couldn't get rid of it, so he turned around in the outer layer of Qin Mang Mountain, and it took nearly ten more days to complete the task. Thanks to the health sutra he had cultivated, after passing the fifth layer, his senses were much sharper than before, allowing him to distinguish between wild grasses and medicinal herbs in the grass very clearly.

Reminds me of the last time I got rid of tracking. At that time, in a hurry, he came to a ravine, threw a stone forward, and lay down in a pile of grass. Thanks to his cultivation of the Turtle Breath Gong, his breath did not leak at all, and he escaped the catastrophe.

Judging from that person's aura, this person definitely has the late cultivation of a martial artist. Once entangled, there will be a fierce battle, and whether you can get out is still a question. No wonder the Crouching Tigers go missing every year, and medicine collection is indeed a dangerous profession.

Zou Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and sighed, this was already the Nth time he had hit the fifth layer of the Iron Bone Gong. I heard that among the outer disciples, there are several people who have broken through to the late stage of martial arts, and among them is that Liu Min.

It's a little unwilling!

Since the last time he came back from collecting medicine, he deeply felt that medicine collection is really a dangerous industry and must be changed as soon as possible. And the way to change is to own or rent the medicine fields in the Seed Gang, but the premise of all this is that you must be in the Martial Sect Realm.

Every time, I really feel that there is only a little bit of difference, just that little bit, I can break through the fourth layer, enter the fifth layer, and achieve the middle stage of martial arts.

As long as you become a martial sect realm, you can buy a house in the gang, have your own medicine field, and then you can transplant some medicinal materials back. After a few years, there is no need to go up the mountain. Stay in the gang to complete the mission. At that time, as long as you bring one or two domestic servants to help you take care of yourself, you will be able to concentrate on your cultivation and improve your skills faster.

There are still five days to go into the mountain again, and it is time to go to the town to see if you can find a piece of top-grade spirit jade and add some supplies.

I picked it up at random and set off, and I searched through various jade shops as usual, but there was still no result. With the last glimmer of hope, I walked into the shop where I got the jade last time.

The old man was precocious and knew what kind of jade Zou Li was looking for, and when he saw Zou Li coming in, he shook his hand and said, "The kind of jade you want is not available now." ”

Zou Li was very disappointed when he heard this, turned around and wanted to go out, and in a blink of an eye he saw a little girl about ten years old in the shop, with a piece of jade hanging around her neck, this jade was extremely pure, and there was a faint mist flowing, isn't this the jade he was looking for?

hurriedly stepped over a few steps: "Little sister, can you show me this piece of jade?"

The little girl was flipping through a book, and suddenly saw Zou Li coming, startled, hurriedly got up and retreated, but was blocked by a chair, and suddenly sat on the chair again, and her body was crooked and saw that she was about to fall to the ground.

The figure flickered, and Zou Li stepped forward to pull the little girl back. Although the little girl was pulled to avoid the doom of being thrown to the ground, she found herself being pulled by a strange man, and was taken aback, and hurriedly screamed: "What are you doing, grandpa, save me!"

When Zou Li saw it, he paused for a moment, hurriedly let go, took a step back and said, "Don't be afraid, little sister, I don't mean it." ”

The little girl, who had not stood firmly, continued to fall down at this time, and the girl screamed again, and Zou Li had to catch it again and hold it steady.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang had already walked over and said, "Zou Gongzi, what are you doing?" There was a hint of anger in his tone.

Zou Li was a little embarrassed and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, can you sell that piece of jade to me?" ”

When the little girl saw this, she hurriedly covered her neck, shook her head, and said, "That's mine, don't sell it, don't sell it! You are a bad person, you want to rob my things!"

In the end, Zou Li tried his best to coax and deceive, and the price was nearly thirty percent more than last time, and he also promised the little girl an additional condition to get it. This additional condition is that Zou Li agreed to catch a bird for him for her to play.

Zou Li held the beautiful jade in his hand, trembling all over, as if he was worried that the jade would fly away as soon as he let go.

In the midst of his gains and losses, he returned to the gang. He looked at the spirit jade in his hand again, took a deep breath, and calmed himself, he knew that by breaking through the fourth layer, he had hope.

Adjust his mentality and complete his routine, he didn't immediately use this piece of jade to practice, he understood that only by adjusting to the best state can he play the best role. He planned to break through tomorrow in the forest behind the mountain, where the conditions were better.

After a night without words, the morning light was slightly dewed, Zou Li came to the back mountain forest as usual, sat down cross-legged in front of the light, and ran the iron bone gong over and over again, until he was in the best state before holding the beautiful jade, a stream of warm and moist qi emanated from the jade, absorbed by himself, and rushed towards the last acupuncture point of the fourth layer along the meridians, and after a while, it was full of overflow, rushing to another meridian, once or twice.

Zou Li only felt a shock, the closed meridians were impacted several times, and finally cracked a small crack, under the impact of the powerful aura, the barrier was completely broken, the muscles and epithelia were cowardly again, a new force was generated from it, and the fourth layer was finally broken through.

Clenched your fists, and your strength increased at least doubled. But the new breath did not stop, and swam towards one of the acupuncture points, but this acupuncture point did not seem to welcome it, and did not welcome it in, it had to keep hitting in front of the acupuncture point.

Zou Li knew that he couldn't be impatient in his practice, so he drew the aura back to the acupuncture points that had just been rushed away, and washed it repeatedly, and after a while, a trace of rotating cyclone was produced in the newly-born acupuncture points, and as the cyclone turned faster and faster, the aura also swarmed in.

A trace of swelling pain woke Zou Li up, "Not good!"

Zou Li immediately forcibly stopped the operation of the Iron Bone Gong, and a burst of qi and blood floated, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

You must know that cultivation must be gradual and gradual, once the acupuncture points are damaged, their ability to absorb qi will drop sharply, which will inevitably affect the exertion of strength, and may even affect the improvement of cultivation in the future.

Zou Li gently touched the corners of his mouth, and breathed for a while before standing up. They shook their hands and a smile came to their faces.

"Haha, I finally broke through to the fifth layer. ”

You must know that you are stuck at the top of the fourth layer for at least half a year.

Then he smiled bitterly, "Hey, the four floors are so difficult, I wonder what will happen to the sixth floor?"

Zou Li walked a few steps, looked out the window with his eyes, and said firmly: "No matter what, you must persevere, and never retreat halfway." After speaking, he shook his hands tightly.

Then he remembered something, and hurriedly spread out his hand to see that the spirit jade in his hand had not disappeared, but the color was much lighter, and it seemed that if he used it again, it would become crumbs like last time.

Where can I find this kind of spirit jade? Zou Li became distressed again.

In the following days, Zou Li concentrated on his cultivation in his own training room, and he decided to raise the health cultivation to the sixth level before going up the mountain.

As soon as the morning dawned, Zou Li got up and stretched his waist, and there was a crisp sound around his body, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Just yesterday, Zou Li obviously felt that there was no progress in the health sutra, Zou Li decided to give it a try, took out the remaining piece of spiritual jade, grabbed it in his hand, and ran the exercises, and the aura that was originally slightly absent suddenly poured into his body like a torrent. Zou Li calmed down and slowly guided it over.

I don't know how long later, a flood peak hit the barrier, only to hear the sound of 'wave', the barrier cracked like gravel. The sixth layer of the health sutra came so easily, giving Zou Li an unexpected surprise, and there was really a feeling that happiness had come too suddenly. Just when he was self-absorbed, the spirit jade in his hand suddenly dispersed into powder.

Zou Li looked at it and sighed again, and as the spirit jade dissipated, his cultivation became slow again. And most of the time of this quarter has passed, and the task has not yet begun, and it is time to go into the mountains to collect medicine.
