Towards dusk at night, the sunset was like a golden moon falling from the heavenly river, and the town under the slanting sun turned a dark purple, like a reef in the clouds.

A breeze blows the fallen leaves on the ground, the fallen leaves flutter slowly, and gradually float to a courtyard, the yard has four courtyards, the ground is paved with bluestone bricks, there is a big pool from a distance, there is a rockery in the middle of the pond in the middle of the compound, there is a water inlet on the rockery, and the water flows gently down from the water inlet towards the pool.

Whether you look at it from a distance or from a near distance, it is a wonderful sight, and this view is the yard of a large family.

At this time, a young man walked over slowly, and saw that he was wearing a burlap coat, and the clothes showed a pattern of a garden character with messy handwriting, and from the clothes, it was obvious that his status was not high, and the person wearing this clothes, about eighteen years old, had a square jaw, clear eyes, sword eyebrows, sharp facial features, and the whole face looked very handsome, but this dress did not seem to match me.

"Today's mission is almost complete! There is one last one, and I will go back when I am done. The boy looked up at the nearly dusk sky and muttered.

The young man's name is Bai Chen, who has no father or mother, and when he was adopted by the Ling family and grew up, he became a gardener, mainly responsible for the plants in the backyard, and taking care of them is some inconsequential trivialities.

Although they are all trivial, Bai Chen will take them seriously every time he prunes, so that these plants can be seen neatly and neatly from a distance, without a trace of unevenness, which shows that Bai Chen treats things seriously and meticulously.

Bai Chen was pruning a plant with a large pair of scissors, the sound of snap scissors sounded and the last plant was trimmed, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly looked at the courtyard, and then an old man wearing a pipe pattern strolled over.

The old man had gray hair, a goatee, a pair of eyes like swords, and a fluttering aura all over his body.

Bai Chen didn't dare to slack off when he saw the old man, this old man was the housekeeper of the Ling family, a veteran-level figure, and Bai Chen's boss.

Bai Chen put down the big scissors in his hand and greeted him respectfully, and said to the old man, "I don't know what Steward Ling has to say here?" Bai Chen said as he paid attention to Steward Ling's expression.

Steward Ling didn't reply to Bai Chen immediately, but looked at the plants that Bai Chen had pruned, as if he was reviewing, Bai Chen was a little flustered, and he didn't know if he was pruning whether he was up to scratch.

Anyway, Bai Chen felt that he had no problem cutting it, and he didn't know what it was like in the eyes of the housekeeper.

After a long time, Steward Ling nodded slightly, not knowing if he was satisfied, he turned his head and asked Bai Chen, "I haven't found anything in this backyard recently, right?" Steward Ling looked at Bai Chen's eyes after speaking.

"Nothing to discover!" Bai Chen was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what the housekeeper meant, so he scratched his head.

Steward Ling's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at Bai Chen, feeling that he didn't seem to be lying, and flicked his sleeves, "Go back and look for it, don't go back to rest if you can't find it!"

The housekeeper came over to look at the plants, and asked me what I had discovered, what could I find besides the beautiful scenery here?

There was no way Bai Chen had to find them in order, and he met many good-looking maids walking back and forth on the road, and every time he passed by, Bai Chen would stare at their faces, expecting to find something.

The maids were all numb in their scalps, and secretly scolded the pervert and rolled her eyes and walked quickly, for fear of staying here for a second longer.

Bai Chen's face was slightly red, and he felt that the direction he was looking for didn't seem to be quite right, and with a dry cough, he started to look for the road he was working on today.

Along the way, Bai Chen looked at the plants he had cut and repaired one by one, and his eyes were green, and he was stunned and found nothing.

If you want to say that the housekeeper said to go back and look for it, it is estimated that it is these places where he usually works, so Bai Chen focuses on these places, but he didn't find anything after looking for half a circle!

"Is it so difficult that Steward Ling fooled me?" Bai Chen, who had been looking for a long time without results, couldn't help but give up, but thinking of the housekeeper's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and continue to look for it.

Just when Bai Chen was crazy, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a little different in the bunch of potted plants in the corner of the courtyard near the pool, and after seeing the clue, he strode over, and when he came to the front to watch, he couldn't help but light up.

This potted plant is planted with a bouquet of flowers, this flower looks full of dripping, white lotus with rain, no different from ordinary flowers, but there seems to be a faint breath flowing out of this potted plant, maybe you don't usually pay much attention to it and don't find it, but after looking closely, you find a trace of unusualness.

Bai Chen didn't know why he could feel a breath, anyway, he felt a kind of induction, and he couldn't tell what was going on.

Looking at it closely, I saw that on the top of this bouquet of flowers, there was something with the same color and round appearance as the flower in the half-opened stamens, which was the source of the breath that Bai Chen felt.

Bai Chen carefully put the stamen of the flower for fear of damaging a piece of stamen, if he accidentally damaged this plant, it would be equivalent to Bai Chen's salary for half a year, this can not be careless.

Lightly took out the round thing, Bai Chen held it in the palm of his hand, and saw that the thing was crystal clear, with the smell of lime all over his body, and smelled a unique medicinal fragrance with his nose.

"This is?" Bai Chen's expression showed excitement, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he reacted halfway before he said excitedly: "Gathering Spirit Pill, this is the elixir" Bai Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the pill in his hand.

He had heard and seen before, some people who were beyond the ordinary were too many people, ordinary people called them immortals, those people could fly to the sky, move mountains and reclaim the sea, in short, they could do everything and be very powerful.

I remember that when I was a child doing chores in the Ling family, I saw some people who could fly in the sky, and those people came to the Ling family as if they wanted to test something, and they seemed to have been arranged to test at that time, but they didn't seem to succeed in staying.

It seems that the people who succeeded in the test followed the immortals to a place they didn't know.

A few years later, I heard that they seemed to have been brought back by a cultivator to cultivate and become immortals, Bai Chen was envious at that time, but knowing that he was too old, he knew that immortal cultivators had better start from dolls, and they still had qualifications, otherwise they could not be eliminated, Bai Chen had to suppress this envy and live an ordinary life every day.

Later, I heard that the Ling family is also a Xiuzhen family, if you make great contributions and are given the Gathering Spirit Pill, you may also become an immortal, when I went to the backyard to take over, I saw that the head of the family gave the gardener at that time the Gathering Spirit Pill, and became an immortal cultivator in public, and later I heard that the gardener became the captain of the guard team with his own efforts, and was in charge of the Ling family's guard.

Bai Chen looked at the pill in his hand, and the excitement in his eyes gradually turned into calm, he was not a person who was in a hurry to create, I heard that although this thing could become an immortal cultivator after eating, it had to be taken with a medicine to have an effect.

Otherwise, not only will it not be useful, but he will also be injured by the backlash, thinking of this, he can't help but secretly thank this Steward Ling, if he hadn't had this opportunity yet, let alone whether he could succeed, but this kindness Bai Chen would have been firmly remembered in his heart.

Bai Chen carefully put away the Gathering Spirit Pill, and secretly rejoiced that it was a remote place, and few people should come except for himself, otherwise he would be picked up by others, and he would have wanted to cry without tears at that time.

"Butler, how do you put it in a flower of the same color? Why don't you look carefully where you let me find it?" Thinking of this, Bai Chen muttered a few words to Steward Ling.

After that, Bai Chen hummed and strode towards his residence, obviously in a very good mood.

Just after Bai Chen left, an old figure appeared in the place where Bai Chen left, and that figure was Steward Ling.

Steward Ling looked at the place where Bai Chen had left, shook his head and scolded secretly: "This stinky boy, if I don't remind you, it is estimated that you won't even see the pill when it expires." Steward Ling's face seemed to be crying and laughing.

"Although this kid doesn't have a bright head, he really has a good heart. Steward Ling's eyes showed appreciation, and he could see Bai Chen's expression just now, from Bai Chen's excitement to calmness, knowing that Bai Chen was not a person who was in a hurry to attack and cut, and was engraved in order to succeed.

Often such a person can achieve great things, Steward Ling slowly retracted his gaze and muttered: "The opportunity has been given to you, but whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself." After saying that, Steward Ling disappeared on the spot, as if he had never been here, leaving only a leaf fluttering in the wind, which shows that this Steward Ling is also a senior cultivator.

It was already completely dark, and the moon was slowly rising, and the silvery white moonlight was sprinkled on the earth, and there were crickets everywhere.

Bai Chen walked on the path back to his residence, walking back with excited steps, feeling that he was a little excited now, walking felt like the wind, fluttering all over his body, looking up at the moon in the sky, he felt that the moon was particularly bright tonight, as if illuminating his future path.

Unconsciously came to his residence, due to his identity, Bai Chen's residence was not in a remote place of the Ling family, there was only a bed and a table in it, and there was a lamp on the table, a very simple residence.

However, for Bai Chen, this humble abode was his home for more than ten years, Bai Chen returned to his residence, took out the Gathering Spirit Pill in his hand on the bed, and kept staring, looking at the Gathering Spirit Pill, Bai Chen seemed to see a road to cultivating immortals opening to himself.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the tiredness of the day was gone, and I was replaced by a full spirit, and I felt as if I had inexhaustible strength now.

But then again, Bai Chen felt that although he had a path to cultivate immortals, it was still unknown whether he could walk it, and he still lacked herbs to take it with the Gathering Spirit Pill.

I had heard of this herb from other families, it was called jasper grass, and it was said to grow in mild forests or valleys, and although it was rare but not too rare, if you looked for it carefully, you would be lucky enough to find it in a day or two.

Although this jasper grass workshop is sold in the market, Bai Chen's meager income is not enough for a fraction, so Bai Chen still decided to go to the valley to look for opportunities, Bai Chen's eyes showed brightness and hope.
