After returning from Liangcheng, as Ding Qi expected, the Qingyun Sect's heat soon completely evacuated the search manpower from the surrounding area of Qixia Mountain. After that, Ding Qi took the batch of herbs back.

In the following time, Ding Qi put all his energy on refining pills and cultivating innate skills.

And just like that, the days passed.

With the help of those herbs, Ding Qi continued to refine them into pills to increase his strength, and took them to cultivate his innate skills.

has come and gone in such a cold and summer, since Ding Qi obtained that batch of anchovy grass, in the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

In the past four years, Ding Qi has been staying in Qixia Town like an ordinary mountain boy, and there is nothing to attract attention.

Except for the mountain bandits who were active around Qixia Town, who knew that there was such a young man who was not easy to provoke in Qixia Town, in the eyes of everyone in the town, Ding Qi was just an ordinary apprentice, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was no different from others.

But only Ding Qi himself knows what amazing changes have taken place in him in the past four years with the help of the effect of the elixir.

In order to refine the elixir, in the past four years, Ding Qi has also deliberately built a secret room in the medicine garden.

Ding Qi's medicine garden, although it is located in a remote area, is generally not disturbed. However, just in case, Ding Qi deliberately built a closed room dedicated to refining pills.

This house is airtight, and there are layers of compartments and barriers, and there are various means to absorb and refine the elixir, and the smell of medicine escapes. Refining medicine there will not be any problems, let alone anyone will find out, which can ensure absolute safety.

However, during the four years that Ding Qi was refining medicine with peace of mind and cultivating innate skills, the life of the Qingyun Sect was quite sad. Since the Qingyun Sect had not found that batch of medicinal herbs from beginning to end, but it could not ignore the cultivation of the disciples of the sect, and the demand for pills could only spend a huge amount of silver to purchase various medicinal herbs on a large scale in the entire Xia and Lu countries.

Under this kind of move of the Qingyun faction, the prices of various precious herbs in the surrounding states of Xia and Lu eventually increased several times, and many medicinal herbs that could still be seen often have begun to become priceless in recent years because of the all-out collection of the Qingyun faction.

But all of this is naturally not about Ding Qi's business. As long as he had enough pill cultivation, he wouldn't care about the affairs of the Qingyun Sect.

In the past four years, Ding Qi's eldest brother Ding Yong gave birth to a big fat boy the year before after he got married. This made Ding Yong happy every day.

However, a few years ago, there was a catastrophe-like military disaster that almost befell the Ding family, but was destroyed by Ding Qi silently, under Ding Qi's intentional cover, the Ding family never knew about it.

That's what Tintze would like to see.

During this period, two major events also happened in Qixia Town.

One of the things is also related to the old white that Ding Qi knew.

At the beginning, Lao Bai received the task of staying in Qixia Town. Due to the change of ownership, it was unexpectedly extended for a few more years. However, because of this incident, Lao Bai got a rare opportunity to improve in the door.

Two years ago, Lao Du, who stayed in Qixia Town, discovered the spies of Tianquanmen in Qixia Town because of an accidental accident, and thus saw through a big conspiracy related to the life and death of more than 100 people in the Qingyun Sect, but was finally promoted to the helmsman of the sect.

At that time, Shopkeeper Tong, Ding Qi and others were congratulating Lao Bai.

Another thing is that a year and a half ago, a group of horse bandits around Qixia Town were completely wiped out overnight.

This group of horse bandits who were exterminated was different from the Wu Zhai Lord and others that Ding Qi had known before. Wu Zhai Lord and others, although there are also many robberies of homes, but the main purpose is to seek money, generally if it is not necessary, it will not hurt people's lives, and most of the members are because of military service, and they are forced to fall into the grass. However, this group of horse bandits who were exterminated was completely different.

This group of horse bandits is not just seeking money, but really taking pleasure in killing people and setting fires, but they do all kinds of evil, and they never leave any life wherever they pass, which can be described as fierce and abnormal.

However, this group of vicious horse bandits, I don't know who they were, were completely wiped out overnight. At that time, hundreds of horse bandits, in the vicinity of Qixia Town, the terrifying scene of corpses all over the place, many people in the entire Qixia Town went to see it, and it became the biggest topic in Qixia Town for a long time.

This incident also made many cottages around Qixia Town, including the owner of Wu Zhai, worried for a long time. There were even two cottages that were finally disbanded because they were afraid that the mysterious murderers who would destroy the vicious horse bandits overnight.

After all, none of them knew whether the mysterious murderer would be the next target after eliminating the gang of horse bandits, so they were naturally worried.

But fortunately, since the elimination of the gang of horse bandits overnight, the mysterious murderer has never been seen again. The other bandits, as time went on, finally relieved.

It is rumored in Qixia Town that the person who eliminated the gang of horse bandits was an unknown martial arts master who happened to pass by the surroundings of Qixia Town and suddenly had the intention of 'eliminating harm for the people'.

Although everyone thought that this unknown martial arts master had already left Qixia Town after that, the few remaining groups of mountain bandits around Qixia Town had unconsciously restrained a lot compared to before.

After all, these gang of mountain bandits were originally just seeking money. Obviously, with what happened last time, they didn't want to, because they did too much, and became like the gang of horse bandits before, who was killed by a passing martial arts master.

On this day, Ding Qi came out of the alchemy room, but he was gently pinching two pure white pills in his hands. These two pills were his harvest after refining the pill today.

Looking at these two pills, Ding Qi took out a brocade box from his arms, then opened it, and carefully put the pill into it. These two pure white pills, although they look quite ordinary. However, it is a practical application of several hundred-year-old herbs, which is not precious.

Ding Qi put away the brocade box where the pills were stored, and then walked towards the room standing at the east end of the medicine garden.

"In the first three years, with the elixirs refined from these herbs, it was easy for me to advance the exercises to the tenth level with the help of cultivating the innate skills. After that, I also began to refine the last of the most domineering elixirs, called the Gathering Spirit Pill. This elixir is also worthy of being an elixir that requires cultivators to advance the exercises to the tenth layer before they can be reluctantly refined. The effect of the medicine is really amazing. Thinking back to the amazing medicinal effects of the white elixir called the Gathering Spirit Pill, Ding Qi muttered to himself.

On the way back to the house, Ding Qi touched the brocade box on his body while recalling the scene of taking the pill at that time.

Ding Qi still remembers the shocking feeling brought to him by the power of the pill when he first took the Gathering Spirit Pill. At that time, the energy of the elixir was like bursting, circulating in his body, constantly washing over his body. After refining the medicinal power of this Gathering Spirit Pill for the first time, his skill suddenly increased by a large margin.

However, when Ding Qi recalled the amazing medicinal effect of the Gathering Spirit Pill, he also thought of something else, but his face suddenly showed an inexplicable bitterness.

Next, Ding Qi had a thoughtful look on his face, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
