"Sect Chief Li, the disciple wants to go to the Beilu Mountain to cultivate. ”

On this day, when Ye Chen's cultivation was over, he came to a burly middle-aged practitioner and bowed his hand.

"You're going up the mountain?"

Li Cang, the head of the Upper Academy, frowned when he heard this, he vaguely remembered that this disciple seemed to have been promoted from the Lower Court to the Upper Court two months ago, and his strength should be quite weak. It would be too risky to enter the mountain so early.

"Yes, the disciple has already cultivated the mid-level move of the Tiger Leap Sword Technique, and the Tiger Leap slash twice is enough to protect himself. But I lack herbs to quench my body, and my physical body cultivation is stagnant, I want to go into the mountains to collect herbs and cultivate!"

Ye Chen said.

"You've learned mid-level martial arts so quickly?"

Li Cang's brows furrowed even tighter.

He didn't suspect that Ye Chen was talking nonsense.

In just two months, he had cultivated a mid-level sword technique, which meant that Ye Chen was practicing at an extremely high intensity, and it also meant that if Ye Chen did not use good herbs to quench his body in time and treat the internal injuries accumulated in the meridians during the cultivation process, Ye Chen's physique would most likely be abolished.

As the head of the upper house, how could Li Cang not know the seriousness of the consequences.

Poor and rich in martial arts. The children of wealthy families, supported by the best herbs provided by the family, generally do not have such problems. But as a commoner, if you don't have the money to buy good herbs, you can only take the risk of going up the mountain to collect herbs.

He was not optimistic about Ye Chen's future, there were many poor children, although the early cultivation seemed to be fast, but after the later stage, he would be unexpected.

"Since you can perform the Tiger Leap Double Slash, you should have 800 to 1,000 catties of strength, which is enough to kill a giant tiger. You look for herbs on the outskirts of the northern foothills, don't go deep into the mountains. There are packs of tigers and wolves in the deep mountains, and you can't deal with them alone. ”

Li Cang didn't have much interest in Ye Chen. There were more than 200 disciples in the upper courtyard of the Beilu Academy, and he wouldn't spend any thought on an unknown disciple who couldn't even remember his name.

"Head Xie!"

After Ye Chen got the consent of the head of the sect head Li, he went back and brought a bag of baked biscuits and food, bought a cheap brand new steel knife in the academy weapons store, left the Beilu Academy, and walked along the broken road in the mountains into the Beilu Mountain Range.

The Beilu Mountain Range is the largest and longest mountain range of thousands of miles in the territory of Wuguo, with overlapping mountains and rich resources, especially rich in herbal medicine. In the hundreds of miles outside this mountain range, you can find about three kinds of herbs, and there is a small amount of wild animal activity.

If you go deep into the mountains, you can also find higher-grade and rarer herbs, and of course, the danger will also be greatly increased, and you will encounter extremely ferocious beasts.

Many medicine pickers will risk their lives to go into the northern foothills of the mountains to collect medicine, once they pick rare herbs, sell them to the big chamber of commerce, and earn a large sum of gold and silver, enough to eat and wear for several years.

It is not without reason that the Beilu Academy, the first university in Wuguo, was built at the foot of this large mountain range.

To a large extent, it is also to facilitate the students of the academy to go into the mountains to collect medicine.

Of course, only the students of the upper courtyard who are above the fourth level of the refining period dare to take the risk of going up the mountain to collect medicine, and they can pick it if they are lucky. The students of the lower courtyard are between the first and third layers of the body refining period, they are rough and weak, and their strength is too weak, and they can only feed the fierce tigers and wolves when they enter the mountain, and they are not allowed to enter the mountain.

The civilian students of Beilu Academy often go up the mountain to practice together.

Ye Chen didn't plan to do this.

"I was on the periphery of the northern foothills of the mountain range for hundreds of miles, collecting about four grades of herbs for body quenching and cultivation. As long as you are careful, there is not much danger. ”

Ye Chen thought secretly.

Ye Chen can often hunt hares and pheasants, roast and eat them on a bonfire, and at night he looks for caves in the mountain ridges, lays them with weeds, and can sleep peacefully with a knife.

There aren't many beasts on the outskirts of the mountains.

Try to avoid places infested with the footprints of fierce beasts, as a martial artist at the fifth level of the body refining period, the safety aspect is not too much of a problem.

Ye Chen was looking for herbs in the mountains in the morning. In the afternoon, he practiced the third and fourth moves of the middle level of the Tiger Leaping Sword Technique in the open and open mountains of the mountains. Temper the flesh at night.

Months have passed in a flash.

As we enter the summer, the weather gets hotter.

"It's been three months since I entered the mountain, and time has passed so fast! There are only more than ten days left before the academy's graduation assessment. ”

Ye Chentian was bright and turned over. Every day that passes, he makes a horizontal line on the hilt of the knife and counts the number of days he has spent in the northern foothills.

He had been in the northern foothills of the mountain range for nearly three months, and although he bathed in the stream, and his body was neat and fresh, his clothes were torn, and the blade of the steel knife was blunt, and it was worn and notched, and it was stained with the blood of many wild beasts.

His cultivation during the refining period was slowly but surely improving. The martial arts moves are also becoming more exquisite day by day.

Every day the wind and sun are blown, and Ye Chen's originally immature face also has a more calm color.

It was getting brighter that day.

Ye Chen finished nibbling on the hare meat roasted last night, and searched for herbs in the mountains, cliffs, and steep and steep places. Ordinary places have long been turned over countless times by other herb pickers, and only in treacherous places will there be herbs left.

This kind of treacherous place is not even willing to set foot in the medicine pickers.

"Zi Wu Cao! It is only four inches long, and it is about a four-grade herb, which can be used to promote the intensity of qi and blood in the bone marrow!!"

Ye Chen's body was clinging to the cliff, searching around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

On the cliff on the left, a small black grass swayed in the wind in the sun and rain.

Ye Chen grabbed the rock with one hand, and carefully picked the black grass from the cliff with the other hand, revealing his joy.

Ye Chen put the grass into the medicine basket, kicked the rock wall on his toes, and flew up to the cliff above.

"Although the grade of this black grass is not high, it is not bad. Today's luck is good! Some time ago, I may not be able to find a plant, but today it only took half an hour to find a herb for nourishing qi and blood, and I will use it to quench my body!"

Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised.

He came to a clean stone wall, meditated cross-legged, washed the rhizome of Ziwu grass with clean water, put it in his mouth, and chewed carefully and slowly, absorbing every drop of black juice.

This black grass is an extremely masculine qi and blood nourishing herb.

After Ye Chen took it, he soon felt a fiery air flow in his abdomen, and this air flow was transmitted to the bones of his body along countless meridians. A quarter of an hour later, every part of his body's bones was constantly generating new qi and blood.

In the middle stage of martial arts refining, the most important thing is the intensity of qi and blood. The stronger the martial artist, the higher the intensity of qi and blood.

When the martial artist reached the sixth layer of the body refining stage, the qi and blood filled the whole body, and the qi and blood of all the meridians in the body were extremely strong. At this point, it is no longer possible to enhance it.

Ye Chen spent two hours absorbing the medicinal power, and he had such a strong feeling, and the qi and blood in every bone in his body were so strong that they reached a saturated bottleneck.

The strong qi and blood seem to burn in the body.

Ye Chen was hot, and a violent force wanted to vent it.

"Drink!"

He threw a heavy punch, a lightning punch, and slammed into a nearby rock wall.

"Bang!"

A deep fist mark appeared on the solid stone of the rock wall, cracks and cracks, spreading around, and a square radius of a foot in the center of the solid stone had been shattered into countless gravel. Without the strength of six hundred catties, it is impossible to bring such power.

With such strength, it is already easy to crack the stone.

"In three months, I finally went from about five and a half layers in the body refining period to the sixth layer in the body refining stage!"

Ye Chen glanced at the fist that had been scratched and his heart was excited.

After three months of penance in the deep mountains, he finally reached the sixth level of the body refining stage before the academy appraisal and assessment.

"I remember that half a year ago, Shi Geng, the head of the lower house, shattered a stone stake with a foot-thick foot with one leg with a 'shadowless leg'. Although my current strength is not as deep as that of Chief Sect Shi, my strength is no less than that of Chief Sect Shi!"

"Among the two hundred students in the entire Beilu Academy, there are probably no more than forty or fifty people whose strength has reached the sixth layer of the refining stage!"

"It's time to go back and participate in the appraisal and assessment of the academy!"

Ye Chen carried the blunt steel knife, strode away from the Beilu Mountain Range, and rushed to the Beilu Academy a hundred miles away.

Off topic.

Compared with the 20 chapters of the Purple Mansion that only discovered the gray eggs, the 100 chapters entered the Qi training period. Xianfu has 4 chapters of ancient paintings and 10 chapters to participate in the academy graduation assessment, which is concise and fast. The protagonist will not be delayed in the martial arts period, so the beginning does not waste time on irrelevant petty fights.

During the period of the protagonist martial artist, the appraisal and assessment of the academy is the key plot, and the fight is very "intense".

In addition, the book tries a new style, and the plot is simpler and smoother. There will be some differences from old books. After all, you can't write a book the same way you write it all the time.
