"I will pay it back, I will definitely pay it back!"

After pinching his thighs hard, Yin Xiuzhu finally determined that all this was really not a dream.

The two medicinal elixirs were held tightly in his hands, which made Yin Xiuzhu unable to control himself with excitement.

"I said, you don't have to pay it back. ”

Ling Yi looked at him with a smile, he was able to help Yin Xiuzhu at a small price, which also made him feel gratified.

"But ......"

Yin Xiuzhu wanted to say something more, but Ling Yi waved his hand, winked at him, and said with a smile: "It's just a third-level pill, your senior brother I can be the disciple of the chief alchemist, it's nothing." ”

He didn't want to put pressure on Yin Xiuzhu, so he had to move Elder Li's name out again.

As soon as these words came out, Yin Xiuzhu's face was really a lot lighter, and he also remembered the legend that Elder Li gave Senior Brother Ling a fifth-level pill as an apprenticeship.

Even the fifth-level pills were given casually, and low-level pills like the third-level pills, Elder Li naturally gave a lot to Senior Brother Ling, right?

The third-level elixir, which is extremely important to oneself, may really not be anything in the eyes of others.

Is...... Comparisons are odious.

What Yin Xiuzhu didn't know was that not long ago, Ling Yi actually had this kind of thought.

"Go and cultivate, you're running out of time. ”

Ling Yi patted Yin Xiuzhu on the shoulder and encouraged, "I'm waiting to see you at the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Definitely!"

Yin Xiuzhu held the Gathering Spirit Pill tightly in his hand, and his face was also resolute, "I will definitely not live up to Senior Brother Ling's gift of medicine today!"

There is a word in his heart that he didn't say, he will definitely return this elixir, and Ling Yi's kindness of sending charcoal in the snow today, he also firmly remembered it in his heart, if he was in need of Ling Yi in the future, he would definitely do whatever it took to go to the soup!

"Senior Brother Ling, are you preparing ......?"

With his heart relaxed, Yin Xiuzhu looked at Ling Yi's bloody clothes that he didn't have time to change, he didn't dare to ask before, but now he almost regarded himself as Ling Yi's little brother, so he naturally became concerned.

"It's nothing, I got it when I was cultivating, but now it's good, and I haven't had time to change my clothes. ”

Ling Yi replied lightly, and didn't explain too much about Huoyunbi, after all, it was too far away from Yin Xiuzhu, and he didn't want the other party to be distracted at this time.

But Yin Xiuzhu obviously thought about it, and when he heard that Ling Yi was covered in blood because of his cultivation, his face immediately changed, and he said, "Senior Brother Ling, did you also touch that thing?"

"What's that?"

Ling Yi was puzzled.

Yin Xiuzhu's face suddenly became nervous, "It's the thing in the back mountain, Senior Brother Ling has been there?"

"Back Mountain, something?"

Ling Yi was even more puzzled, he had also practiced martial arts in the back mountain before, and he didn't notice that something existed?

"It wasn't. ”

Yin Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief first, and then continued: "I don't know what happened in the past two days, when many senior brothers passed through the back mountain, they were attacked by an inexplicable thing, some of them died on the spot, and although some escaped back, they were also seriously injured and difficult to recover, which made people panic for a while. ”

"This matter has been reported to Elder Wang, but he went to the back mountain to inspect it, but he didn't come across that thing, it's really strange. ”

"But looking at the injuries on Senior Brother Ling's body, it shouldn't be caused by that thing, but I thought about it too much. ”

Yin Xiuzhu patted his chest, with a palpitating expression, obviously seeing the injuries on those people.

"Just these two days?"

Ling Yi knew that he had almost stayed in the core disciple area for the past two days, and it was not surprising that he didn't know that something big had happened here in the registered disciple area.

"You said my injuries weren't like those of that thing, so what about the other people's injuries?"

He couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

At the same time, he frowned slightly, originally he planned to go to the back mountain to hone his martial arts techniques, if it wasn't for Yin Xiuzhu's interruption, maybe he would have been in the back mountain at this time and ran into that mysterious thing.

"They are ......" Yin Xiuzhu's face was shocked, and after taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said: "It seems to have been burned by fire, the skin and flesh of the body have been burned to shreds, and the more seriously injured ones have changed beyond recognition, and they are all hanging with a breath of true qi, and they are not alive!"

He was a disciple who followed Elder Wang, and naturally he also followed Elder Wang to check the injuries of many registered disciples.

"Burned?"

Ling Yi was surprised.

"Yes, the scars left by the fire!"

Yin Xiuzhu was extremely sure, and then there was doubt in his eyes, "But according to Elder Wang, when he went to the back mountain, he didn't find any traces of the fire burning in the mountain forest, and I don't know how the fire burned on the senior brothers. ”

"And such a thing?"

Ling Yi felt even stranger in his heart, inexplicably, he thought of one thing.

Could it be ......

"In short, Senior Brother Ling should not go to the back mountain to cultivate these days, Elder Wang has already reported the matter to the sect, I think it will not be long before there should be an answer. ”

Yin Xiuzhu persuaded.

"Got it, thank you. ”

Ling Yi didn't say much, and smiled at Yin Xiuzhu.

Immediately without saying anything, Yin Xiuzhu was also in a hurry to go back and take the Gathering Spirit Pill Impact Martial Dao Triple, so he said goodbye to Ling Yi and left on his own.

Ling Yi, on the other hand, frowned in his room.

Burned by the flames, and he couldn't find the source of fire in the mountains and forests, what he thought of just now was the red fire in his spiritual world!

Based on the strange phenomenon that Yin Xiuzhu said, in fact, Ling Yi himself has experienced it.

It was just two days ago that he suddenly ignited the red fire in Elder Li's Dan room, and as a result, he was almost burned to the ground.

If it was said that flames appeared out of thin air, only burning people and not trees, what he knew was the red flame that was suspected to be the Qiangang Soul Devouring Fire.

The time was just right, it was when he triggered the red fire two days ago, and a mysterious thing suddenly appeared here in the back mountain, which was also a flame devouring people, could it be ......

If it was a red fire, Ling Yi knew that it didn't actually want to burn people's flesh and skin, but directly wanted to devour the other party's soul!

This became clear long after he had experimented with a mouse.

But the strange thing is, how can there be something similar to red fire in the back mountain?

To go or not to go?

The curiosity in his heart reached its peak, and Ling Yi became extremely interested in what suddenly appeared in the back mountain.

It stands to reason that he is in urgent need of improving his strength now, and if there is something strange in the back mountain, he can naturally not go, so he can stay in the small courtyard and hone his martial arts.

The wisest thing to do is naturally not to provoke this trouble, but first follow the original plan, and it is the right thing to advance to the core disciple at the apprenticeship ceremony.

But Ling Yi had a feeling that most of the things that appeared in the back mountains were related to him, and if he didn't go on this trip, he might regret it.

But if he went, if it was beyond his strength, then he would regret it even more.

To go or not to go, that's the question.
