Wang Chong woke up from his first cultivation and immediately walked out of the south gate of Moyang City with a sheepskin map, a black iron T-shaped pickaxe, a golden silk cold willow medicine basket, and a pair of ice silkworm gloves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Moyang City is in the nameless mountains in the west of the Great Qin Empire, and it is the dojo of the Nine Fortune Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. A day earlier, Wang Chong had just entered Moyang City and had become a herb-collecting handyman of the Jiuyun Sect.

Beyond the south gate of Moyang City, there is a vast land that mortals cannot enter, called "Cloud Waste", on which rivers are crisscrossed, lakes are dotted, mountains are extended, cliffs are intertwined, dense forests are thick, swamps are widely spread, and there are many hidden immortal and demon secret realms and relics caves.

The Cloud Wilderness is an incomparably huge treasure trove of resources, and it is the foundation of the Nine Fortune Sect that has stood for 30,000 years. In the Nine Fortune Sect, whether it is a miscellaneous servant, a trial disciple, an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or a true disciple, everyone spends at least half of their time in the cloud wilderness during the cultivation process, that is, they keep digging spirit mines, collecting herbs, hunting spirit beasts, exploring secret realms, and looking for opportunities......

Because the further you go to the depths of the Cloud Desolation, the greater the danger, so the miscellaneous servants, trial disciples, and outer disciples only operate on the periphery of the Cloud Desolation, and only the inner disciples and true disciples dare to go to the depths of the Cloud Desolation.

Wang Chong's destination was Fengye Mountain, which was thirty miles away from Moyang City and on the edge of the cloud wilderness.

Fengye Mountain is verdant with grass and trees, and there are many spiritual flowers and herbs. Many of the sect careers of the Nine Fortune Sect as medicine collectors and miscellaneous servants started from here.

The first time he came to Fengye Mountain, Wang Chong was quickly dumbfounded, most of the plants here he had never seen before. It is impossible to identify which ones are medicines and which ones are ordinary plants and trees.

After discovering this problem, Wang Chong sat down in the shade of a tree and took out a thick book from his bosom - "The Book of Hundred Herbs" distributed by the sect's priest.

The "Book of Hundred Herbs" contains 3,000 kinds of medicines, with more than 2,000 illustrated drug maps, illustrating the form, taste, efficacy, medication rules, origin, collection, processing, prescription compatibility, etc., which is a compulsory course for each medicine collection and miscellaneous service in Jiuyunzong.

From early morning to noon, Wang Chong sat quietly under the tree, engrossed in flipping through the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", carefully reading each page three times, striving to memorize every word and every detail of the picture firmly in his mind.

After noon, Wang Chong finally closed the book: "From the morning to now, I have memorized a total of 140 kinds of medicines, and I have to work hard in the afternoon, otherwise I will not be able to complete today's medicine collection task......

The rules of the Nine Fortune Sect are very cold, and the miscellaneous servants must complete their daily work tasks in accordance with the rules and requirements of the sect before they can go to the canteen to receive food. Otherwise, you can only go hungry and continue to work. If the task is overcompleted, the excess part will be handed over to the sect, and the sect will reward contribution points. Sect contribution points are like secular money, which can be exchanged for all items within the sect.

After hurriedly eating a piece of dry food, Wang Chong immediately took action.

"This is a fire bell flower? That's right! The fire bell flower is bright red in color, the stench is compelling, the wind blows a bell sound, it is slightly poisonous, it can cure ulcers and suppuration, and it is not in the grade. Soon, Wang Chong discovered a medicinal herb recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", and while softly reciting the description of the fire bell flower in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", he used ice silkworm gloves to pick it.

Ice silkworm gloves have anti-poison effects, and in the mortal world, only princes and nobles can have them, and ordinary people can't afford to buy them if they are bankrupt. Only a 10,000-year-old sect like Jiuyunzong will be distributed to medicine collection and miscellaneous workers as labor protection supplies.

"This is an ice toad grass! Ice toad grass, an annual herb, born in the sand and gravel, its leaf shape is like a crescent moon, the color is like jade, it contains highly poisonous, it can kill ants and insects, and it is not in the grade. ”

Wang Chong walked briskly, heading deep into Fengye Mountain, searching all the way for all kinds of herbs, spiritual flowers, and exotic fruits recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", without stopping for a moment, going all out.

However, after all, he had only just learned about one hundred and forty kinds of medicines, and these one hundred and forty kinds of drugs did not necessarily grow in Fengye Mountain.

Therefore, seeing that the sun began to set in the west, the number of medicinal materials collected by Wang Chong had only just reached half of the number stipulated by the sect.

"Are you destined to be hungry tonight?" Wang Chong thought to himself.

But he was still not discouraged and continued to search around.

Suddenly, Wang Chong's eyes lit up.

In a deserted mountain col full of rocks, a verdant nine-leaf spirit grass swayed in the wind, and above the stems and leaves, there was a thumb-sized, dark red pearl fruit.

"Yan Qiongguo, a perennial herb, likes cool and dry, intense heat poisoning, amazing hemostatic effect, belongs to the first-order medium-grade fruit, is one of the indispensable medicinal ingredients when refining the two elixirs of 'Green Pulp Pill' and 'Bone Paste'......" Wang Chong took out a palm-sized white porcelain jar from the medicine basket, picked off the Yanqiong fruit and put it into it, and corroborated it with the graphic description in the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", and was happy in his heart: "Only herbs above the first order can be called spiritual grass." According to the rules of the sect, a first-order mid-grade spirit grass or alien fruit can be used to deliver a one-day hand-in task. ”

"The Book of Hundred Herbs says that among the mountains on the periphery of this cloud wilderness, there are not many Yan Qiongguo, and I am lucky today!" Thinking that he finally didn't have to worry about dinner, Wang Chong was in a good mood.

At this moment, Wang Zheng suddenly let out a "huh", bent down again, and pulled out something from the crack in the stone next to the nine-leaf spirit grass.

It turned out to be a short black iron knife about one foot nine inches long and about two fingers wide, with a deep and long blood groove, no scabbard, rusty blade, sharp and faded blade, and a simple handle, like a child's toy.

Wang Chong was a little disappointed, raised his hand to throw away the short knife, turned around and walked to another place.

As soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly turned around and walked back, picked up the short knife, and said to himself: "Although the service office under the sect's 'Shangbao Palace' provides all kinds of magic weapons and weapons, they must be exchanged for contribution points. I have just become a medicine picker now, and the sect has the prescribed tasks to be handed in every day, and the harvest after completing the hand-in task can be exchanged for contribution points, and the days are very difficult! This short knife is broken, sharpened, and can barely be used for self-defense, it is better than nothing...... "The first thing Wang Chong did when he entered the sect was to read the "Nine Fortune Sect Introductory Instructions" and have a general understanding of the situation in the sect.

Pinning the short knife to his waist, Wang Chong looked up at the sky and found that the sun was approaching the western mountain, so he turned around and began to return the same way......

After passing a mountain cliff, a clear spring water gushes out from the cracks in the stones, forming a clear pond that is clear and refreshing.

Wang Chong squatted next to the spring pool, bowed and drank the spring water, washed his face again, and felt extremely refreshed.

Suddenly, Wang Chong's eyes looked under a strange stone at the edge of the spring pool: "This is ......"

Between the shallow grass below the strange rocks, a cyan fusiform mushroom is covered with clear purple lightning lines, giving people a hideous and demonic feeling.

"Thunder caracal mushroom, grows in the four seasons of the damp, aura of the land, accidental ingestion of the mind will be confused, madness; with thunder and lightning refining, can increase qi and blood, strong bones, belongs to the second order of the first grade, the edge of the cloud desolation is rare. Wang Chong was excited in his heart: "I've made a fortune!" According to the regulations of the sect, a second-order first-grade spirit mushroom can be handed over for one month. ”

Wang Chong untied the medicine basket, took out a pear-yellow wooden box from it, jumped on top of the strange stone, squatted down, and gently picked the thunder caracal mushroom under the strange stone.

Holding the thunder mushroom in his hand with the ice silkworm glove, Wang Chong looked at it again and again, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he was about to put it in the wooden box, but suddenly his expression was dazed, and he suddenly jumped up, and three in a row spun into the air, falling on an abrupt boulder two feet away, and slowly turned around, his face was cold.

At the moment when Wang Chong jumped into the air, a dark red arrow with a strong wind grazed the soles of his shoes, and if it weren't for his family martial arts, and his vigilance and timely dodge, this sharp arrow would have pierced his abdomen.

"What kind of person? Sneak around!

Wang Chong stared at a thick blood begonia tree twenty paces away, and said in a deep voice while putting the thunder caracal mushroom into the wooden box and putting it away closely.
