In the months that followed, Ding Qi spent the next few months in cultivation. Before you know it, it's almost summer, and the anchovy begins to grow.

His cultivation has not improved.

Some time ago, many people, including Ding Qi, had begun to go up the mountain to search for traces of anchovy, but they did not find it. It wasn't until there was a heavy rain the day before yesterday that the anchovies came out as if they had all woken up.

After the anchovies began to grow, there were more and more people picking herbs around the mountain road.

In the evening, the herb pickers all began to descend the mountain, and they could often be seen at the end of the mountain road walking towards Qixia Town at the bottom of the mountain, or gathered together in twos and threes, walking together.

Most of those with joy on their faces are likely to have a harvest today. However, this kind of people are only a very small minority, and most of them have a disappointed look on their faces, and they have not picked anchovies.

Among those who have not harvested, sometimes some people look at those who have picked herbs with envy, but most of them are so tired that they can't even envy the interest of others because of the hard work brought by the whole day of searching through the mountains, and they just hurry away with disappointed expressions.

Since the rain, Ding Qi has been going up the mountain to pick anchovies. Today he was also busy for a day, and he was on his way back to Qixia Town.

As he approached the town, someone from behind him came up and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Brother Ding, have you gained anything today?" asked Ding Qi from the person who rushed over.

Ding Qi turned his head, his face was quite gloomy, but then he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, hehe, I didn't have good luck today, and I didn't gain anything." ”

This person called 'Brother Zhao' by Ding Qi, his real name is Zhao Yang, he is an apprentice in the pharmacy in Qixia Town, and he has had some contacts with the medicine garden where Ding Qi is located, and he is half an acquaintance of Ding Qi.

Since both of them didn't go down the mountain until the evening, they often met on the road these days and would say hello to each other.

Hearing what Ding Qi said just now, there was no gain, and Zhao Yang had a rather smug look on his face.

It's no wonder he's so proud, since he went up the mountain, he's been searching for anchovies for two days in a row, and his luck is not bad.

There have been gains for two days in a row, and Zhao Yang originally wanted to show off in front of Ding Qi, but looking at Ding Qi's gloomy face now, he also knew that the other party was in a very bad mood now.

He also knew that he couldn't show off at such a time.

Subsequently, Zhao Yang comforted Ding Qi and said: "Even if there is no harvest today, there is no need to take it to heart." Luck has always been hard to say. As long as you keep going up the mountain, sooner or later you will reap the rewards. ”

Zhao Yang met Ding Qi in the past few days, and every time he saw him with a disappointed look, he guessed that Ding Qi had not gained anything in the past few days, so he had such an expression.

Very block, the two arrived in town, and separated.

Glancing at Zhao Yang's distant figure, Ding Qi frowned and walked towards the medicine garden.

The four anchovy plants were lying quietly in the medicine basket behind him, which was his harvest today.

It's not that he didn't pick anchovies, but he harvested four plants that made ordinary people smack.

If Zhao Yang knew Ding Qi's harvest today, it is estimated that his jaw would drop in shock. I don't know how I feel about Ding Qi's amazing gains.

Compared with Ding Qi, Zhao Yang's harvest in the past few days is not as much as Ding Qi's harvest in one day; compared with him, it is simply insignificant, and there is no comparison at all.

In the past few days, Ding Qi has harvested several phoenixes every day, but even so, he can't see the slightest happy expression on his face, but is getting more and more irritable.

In the next few days, Ding Qi also went up the mountain every day to collect medicine, and at the same time, his face became worse and worse.

On this day, Ding Qi came back from the mountain and sat at the table with a cautious face.

"Not enough. After a long silence, Ding Qi said to himself.

Since going up the mountain to collect medicines, Ding Qi has had a lot of harvests every day, but it is far from reaching his expectation, six plants a day, or even more than seven.

At first, he was hopeful, thinking that his first few days would not be good.

Until now, more than ten days have passed since the initial collection of medicine, and Ding Qi can already accurately judge the average number of anchovies he picks every day.

Now, he can only pick four anchovies a day.

It is still a cut short of the number of military service that can be offset.

"Because of the eldest brother's marriage, the family no longer has any savings. In order to be able to keep the position of walking at the outer door, the second uncle also used all his net worth to make some joints. Lao Bai and the shopkeeper Tong are the few people I know, and they have some net worth, but they also lent all the money on their bodies to others because of the people close to them and related to military service, and now they ....... ”

To fill the vacancy in the anchovy grass, he could only spend money to buy it from other places, but Ding Qi thought about it for a long time, but he could not find a way to get the silver.

Suddenly, a lingering irritability rose in Ding Qi's heart.

Taking two deep breaths and suppressing the irritability in his heart, Ding Qi calmed down temporarily: "There should be a way, but I have overlooked some places now." As long as you calm down and think about it carefully, you should find a way. ”

He knew that this kind of mood would only affect his thinking. To really find a solution, you first have to calm yourself down.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi was ready to meditate and practice to stabilize his thoughts, and then carefully consider the solution to the problem.

Innate Gong has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, as long as you enter the cultivation state, you can quickly calm down your mind.

Today, though, things are a little different.

After Ding Qi entered the cultivation state, the irritability in his heart not only did not dissipate, but gradually increased.

With the passage of time, the worries and worries that were originally pressed in my heart these days have been magnified hundreds or thousands of times. The matter of military service kept coming to life in Ding Qi's heart.

By the time Ding Qi found out that something was wrong with this situation and wanted to stop the cultivation of innate skills, it was too late. The true qi of the innate power in his body was completely uncontrollable and began to operate automatically.

As the true qi operated, the scene in Ding Qi's mind kept changing, and at some point, even the matter of Zhang Tao, which he had forgotten a few months ago, came out of his mind.

Since that meeting, the two have not had any contact. The exchange of letters, which had been intermittent and intermittent, was also completely interrupted.

was originally a childhood playmate, but became a master of the rivers and lakes with an unlimited future, for Ding Qi, who had a dream of exploring the rivers and lakes, he was quite envious at the beginning.

But later, he got the innate skill, and Ding Qi knew that even if his qualifications were not outstanding, as long as he worked hard, he would eventually be able to make a difference.

Now this innate cultivation has entered a predicament, and it is impossible to achieve success in cultivation in the future. The dream of wandering the rivers and lakes gradually disappeared from him, and thinking of this, Ding Qi felt even more inexplicably irritable.

Thinking of this, the qi and blood in Ding Qi's body continued to surge, and the true qi was running wildly, as if it was about to tear his body apart. The brain is also a fantasy rebirth, all kinds of negative emotions, lingering, no matter how he controls it, but it has no effect.

Originally, with Ding Qi's temperament, in normal times, he could easily suppress these negative emotions and not let them disturb his mind. But this time, no matter what he did, his mind was still full of illusions, and his mind was running automatically, as if it was completely out of his control.

Ding Qi was shocked to find that he could no longer control his thinking.

Ding Qi didn't know that this was exactly the manifestation of an immortal cultivator who had encountered a heart demon tribulation.

Now he has encountered a calamity that immortal cultivators will definitely experience: the inner demon.

At the same time, this is also the beginning of the cultivator's true transformation from a mortal fetus to an immortal body.

After the cultivation of the inner demons, their minds will be reborn.

Although it was the first time and the easiest time for this cultivator to encounter the Heart Demon Tribulation in the initial stage of the Innate Martial Arts, it could be said that it was not worth mentioning compared to the various terrible tribulations that the Immortal Cultivator would experience in the future.

However, because it was the first time, the cultivator did not have any experience to follow in resisting the inner demons, so it was extremely dangerous. I don't know how many immortal cultivators who have just stepped on the immortal road have accidentally died under this heart demon calamity.

For regular cultivators, at this time, most of them will have elders in the sect to take care of them, leaving all kinds of back-ups to help the cultivators successfully pass the test of inner demons, in case of accidents.

It's a pity that Ding Qi only inadvertently obtained this innate skill, and he didn't know anything about all the dangers and precautions, let alone any elders in the sect who were responsible for taking care of it, and inadvertently caused a demon catastrophe today.

Now everything has to be dealt with by himself.

If he can't overcome his inner demons, he will eventually die like other cultivators, because his true qi is running endlessly, and his qi and blood are exhausted.
