On this day, when Ding Nan was busy in the medicine field, Qian Xi walked to the medicine garden with a strange man, this man was of medium height, burly, with a Chinese face, shaved eyebrows, and bright eyes.

Seeing Ding Nan, Qian Xi said: "Senior Brother Ding, don't be busy yet, this is Master Xiangzhong, come and get to know him."

Ding Nan was slightly surprised when he heard it, although this Senior Brother Xiang himself had not seen it, but his name had already been heard like thunder, this was the first disciple of the "Elixir Gate" Qi training period, and his swordsmanship was superb, and he had fought against the "Immortal Sword Sect" at the same time with one person and one sword on the same day, and the sword cultivation of two Qi cultivation areas was not defeated.

"Senior Brother Xiangzhong!" Ding Nan raised his hand and saluted, although this Senior Brother Xiang rarely showed up, he had a good reputation among the low-level disciples, and his prestige was also extremely high, everyone regarded him as an example and the object of hard work, seeing such a person, Ding Nan naturally had some friendship in his heart.

"Senior Brother Xiang, this is the Senior Brother Ding I often mention to you, as you saw just now, Senior Brother Ding's skill in managing the elixir is far above me. Qianxi continued.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, today's look at Senior Brother Ding's method of picking the elixir is really eye-opening, it seems that this time I have found a really suitable person." Xiang Zhong returned a salute to Ding Nan and said very happily.

"Senior brother and sister, sit in the house, just to taste the new tea I picked in the back mountains this time. Ding Nan led Qianxi and Xiangzhong into the hut, and the three of them sat down around a small table. Ding Nan casually took a pop, and a set of tea sets appeared on the table, and then with a slight movement of his fingers, a flame was condensed, and Ding Nan used it to burn the spring water brought back from the back mountain.

"Is there something wrong with Senior Brother Xiang looking for me?" Ding Nan was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "But is there anything that needs my help from Senior Brother?" Although Senior Brother's cultivation is limited, if there is a place where he can help Senior Brother, he will definitely not refuse. ”

Xiang Zhong was not polite, and said directly: "This time, I really have something to bother you. Then he carefully took out from his bosom a delicate box, made of fine jade, with a talisman attached to it.

Removing the talisman to the middle, as soon as he opened the box, there was a strong aura rushing to his face, and the elixir had been handed over for so long, Guangping This breath Ding Nan knew that it was a good elixir, and the quality was much better than the medicinal materials in the medicine garden, it must be a precious wild elixir.

Sure enough, I saw a spirit grass lying in the box. This spirit grass is about 20 centimeters long, with a total of three fiery red leaves, the rhizome is extremely beautiful in one day, and the fiery red leaves form a sharp contrast, and there is a whole crystal fruit in the middle of the three leaves, which resembles a unicorn, subtle and slightly warped.

"Tiancai 'Fire Qilin'!" As soon as he saw the contents of the box, Ding Nan couldn't help but call out, obviously surprised. This kind of medicinal material is a kind of heaven and earth treasure, the grade is very high, very rare, Ding Nan has only seen it in the "Genius Earth Treasure Summary", the real real thing is the first time to see it, but it will never be wrong, out of the special rich aura, the best to identify is the fruit that looks like a unicorn.

"Senior Brother Ding really has a good eye, this is indeed a 'fire unicorn', which I finally obtained, and it took me a lot of effort to pick this spiritual grass that day. Xiang Zhong's expression was calm, but there was obviously a little excitement in his voice: "I still have a short time before I build the foundation, and during this period, I have to trouble you to help take care of this grass." ”

Ding Nan took the box, looked at it carefully and said: "The picking method and preservation method of this grass brother is wrong, which has led to the loss of medicinal properties, the senior brother is right to find me this time, give me a period of time, I guarantee that I can take care of the second grass, at least more than ninety percent of the spirituality of the second grass can be restored, and this fruit is about to mature, as long as the operation is right, it can also be used to plant successfully." ”

"Then thank you first, I only need this grass to build the foundation, and I don't need his fruit, so I will give it to you, junior brother." Xiang Zhong said cheerfully.

"Wait, could it be that Senior Brother Zhuji wants to take this 'Fire Qilin'?" Ding Nan asked in surprise suddenly.

The reason why Ding Nan was so surprised was because, according to the introduction in that book, this 'fire unicorn' can indeed be used to build a foundation, and it is possible to build a 'unicorn foundation' with it, which is one of the most powerful foundations, but it has a very big drawback, that is, the probability of success is less than 1 in 10 million. Because it needs to be eaten raw, and the medicinal properties are very domineering and violent, people who do not have great perseverance and great faith cannot endure the violent medicinal properties and their spiritual power collapses and dies, which is a way to put it to death and live in the afterlife. Over the years, there have been people who have taken risks to take it, but none of them have succeeded, and there are very few people who use it to complete the foundation building anymore.

"I know the stakes, you don't have to persuade me, junior brother. Xiang Zhong directly interrupted Ding Nan's questioning.

Looking at the senior brother with firm eyes, Ding Nan also knew that it was useless to say more, but his heart was still full of admiration, and he was indeed a man of no avail under his reputation. After a long time, Ding Nan put away the 'Fire Qilin', and carefully extracted it to the medicine garden under the watchful eye of Xiang Zhong. After that, the two sides returned to the small table, drank the new tea brewed from the spring water of the back mountain, discussed and shared their cultivation experience with each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At the time of parting, Ding Nan picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I am here to wish you success in building a foundation, I will replace wine with tea, and I will toast senior brother with a cup first." ”

He waved his hand to the middle and said, "Borrow your auspicious words, junior brother." After speaking, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Ding Nan: "Senior brother has no long things, and he has nothing to handle." These are some of the spiritual realizations of the senior brother over the years, and I hope it can be helpful to the junior brother. ”

Ding Nan was also not polite, and took it with a smile: "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Then Qian Xi and Xiang Zhong got up to say goodbye, and after Ding Nan sent them out of the medicine garden, he returned to the table and opened the jade tube given by Xiang Zhong.

I saw that it recorded in detail the experience of Xiangzhong's cultivation process. But a lot of things are very fragmentary, as if they were recorded by someone at any time.

After reading these contents, Ding Nan was stunned, and his feeling now was: Senior Brother Xiangzhong is too crazy, his cultivation path is simply a path to death, his cultivation is so crazy and persistent, fighting with the sky and the earth, fighting with himself, every step contains blood and sweat.

Ding Nan held the jade slip in his hand, and he was motionless for a long time, as if something was stirring and rolling in his body, and his mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
