Chu Xiong's retreat took a long time. Li Hong often goes out when he has nothing to do.

First of all, I went to the nameless valley full of strange white artemisia, and brought the big and small silver balls to the Green Building. The two little guys were very unaccustomed to it at first, and they were very uneasy to arch around, but it was probably the reason why Li Hong had a colorful aura, and the big and small silver balls liked to be next to him very much, and after a few days, they settled down and followed Li Hong around.

As a result, the people of Jiuzhu Peak often saw Li Hong haunting with three spirit beasts. Unless he goes out, if he is in Jiuzhu Peak, there must be three strange figures behind him.

The large and small silver balls were covered in silver-white armor, and they often saw their bones rolled down the hill in a ball, with long pointed beaks, and sparkling eyes like jewels, and their appearance was indescribably naïve. The golden silk kitten is only the size of a palm, and the small one is extremely cute, and it meows softly, causing those disciples who like small animals to stretch their necks in the dining room all day long, hoping that Li Hong can take it to appear so that they can play with it for a while.

It didn't take long for everyone in the disciples of Jiuzhu Feng to like these three guys. But it didn't take long for something to happen.

On this day, as soon as Li Hong came out of the green forest behind the building to cultivate the "Five Elements Shuttle", he heard an earth-shattering roar coming from the medicine forest under the mountain: "Who gnawed my old man's ginseng! Wow, this ginseng has been raised for 3,000 years, and it is about to be harvested to refine the elixir! Who did it? Give it to Lao Tzu!" This was followed by a long series of angry and unsuitable scoldings.

Who is so bold as to dare to touch Master's treasure! Li Hongzheng was surprised, and saw a lightning-like golden shadow rushing towards him and stopping in front of him.

It's Dumbo. It meowed twice, slowly approached, and stretched out its little pink tongue to lick its snow-white paws. Look closely at some yellowish crumbs on the little tongue. Squatting down and smelling it, the fragrance of thousand-year-old ginseng is not emitted from the small mouth.

It actually eats, and it still eats Master's thousand-year-old ginseng! Li Hong's head swelled, and he squatted down, it's over, the kitten doesn't eat fish, but likes to eat elixir!

Then two round silver shadows rolled over like lightning, stopped in front of him, straightened up and exposed his sharp mouth and long claws, Li Hong looked at the big and small silver balls, and snorted again.

He yelled, "Xiao Fei!"

This little bad cat taught them both if he didn't learn well. There is a ginseng whisker dangling around the mouth of the big silver ball!

He grabbed Xiao Fei's neck and lifted him into the Green Building, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Don't go to the medicine forest again! Don't go to the elixir that harms the master again! Don't teach the big silver ball and the little silver ball badly, otherwise, hum!"

Xiao Fei's head hung down, and he didn't dare to say anything obediently. The big and small silver balls also seemed to know that they had done something bad, and slowly crawled in step by step, lying on Li Hong's legs and bowing their heads and not daring to move, looking like two little good dogs.

Li Hong's heart softened, and he listened to the movement in the medicinal forest on the mountainside, and couldn't help but feel a ghost in his heart.

Lingshizi didn't discover Xiaofei's secret, but this incident reminded Li Hong of the truth. I always thought that Xiaofei and the big and small silver balls didn't eat, but it seems that they eat, but instead of meat, they are vegetarian. This element is also very special, and it is not eaten by the precious elixir spirit grass for many years.

Master's medicinal forest did not dare to provoke. Li Hong began to move his brain to the other part of the Nine Leaves Cave Heaven. First of all, I thought of the golden lantern flowers in the Golden Lantern Gorge, which were full of pits and valleys.

Experiments have proved that Xiao Fei and the big and small silver balls and golden lanterns are really eating, but they are very reluctant to eat, and they don't seem to like the taste very much.

In Jiuli Cave Heaven, Li Hong was not familiar with other veins, and he didn't dare to go to the door to pick the spiritual grass cultivated by others. There are indeed a large number of immortal grasses obtained from the ancient immortal fields in Qiankun Kui. But these things have already been registered with Lingxuzi, and sooner or later they will have to be handed in, not to mention that the fairy grass feeds the cats?

After thinking about it, he thought of the Soul Returning Maple. You must know that the Rejuvenating Maple is a real ancient spiritual root, and it is not in the way to eat a few branches or leaves of it, right? Anyway, it is a large piece, and it is not to cut the precious sap.

Li Hong slipped over quietly that night.

The Valley of Rejuvenation is quiet. A large area of rejuvenating maple stands straight up dozens of feet high, the highest point is almost up to the height of the cliff next to it, and the trunk of the tree glows with a dazzling green and golden light in the dark night, looking like it is made of jasper or gold, which is really beautiful.

The rejuvenating maple tree is very high in the trunk and only begins to grow leaves. Li Hong looked nervously at the mouth of the valley for a moment, and after making sure that the guards there had not found out, he immediately raised his sword, sacrificed the Five Elements Shuttle and began to be a thief.

Remember that you must use a knife that does not penetrate the five elements when cutting the sap, but at this time you only need to pick young branches and leaves. The heart turned at will, the five elements of the shuttle flashed, and the sharpness was incomparable, and a large cluster of branches that had been favored for a long time were quickly cut down along with the leaves on it.

Roar - Suddenly, the entire body of this Rejuvenating Maple shook violently, letting out an earth-shattering roar, shaking its head and tail as if it had come to life.

Li Hongdeng's scalp was numb - I didn't cut your blood, but I just picked a few branches, why is it still called?

Taniguchi immediately moved, and he picked up the branch and quickly turned around and flew into the sky.

As soon as he flew a stone's throw away, the sound of breaking the air behind him was full of ears, and the people chasing after him shouted: "What a bold thief! Dare to trespass into the Soul Valley and cut my spirit tree! See if I don't arrest you and go to the Punishment Hall!"

With a sigh of applause, several fires shot at him at a rapid pace. Li Hong was helpless, and the Five Elements Shuttle automatically met the enemy in a flash, and several flames flew away.

"What a thief! How dare you resist!" the man was furious, and more flames rushed in.

Li Hong didn't see what kind of magic weapon the fire was, his scalp was numb, he had no intention of fighting, and he flew away with a lot of smoke.

This person has cultivated to at least the early stage of Jindan, and is a real elder. It's a big trouble now, and you can't beat it, and you can't be ruthless. Run!

Flying away, I only heard the sound of the sky breaking through the sky, rushing straight here. It turned out that the elder guarding the Returning Soul Valley actually called out to the rescuers of the Punishment Hall. Thinking that Elder Yue Mangzi had been waiting to catch the wrong place, Li Hong was even more headed.

was thinking about how to make up a story, but the dazzling fire still caught up with him. Li Hong had no choice but to put the rejuvenating maple branch in his hand into Qiankunkui and turned to fight.

He stepped on Lingyi, and the five elements turned into five in a flash, and the dazzling light rotated around his body, and the wind and rain slammed into a ball with the dozen or so rushing fires, but when he saw the sparks flying around him, the sky seemed to be raining fire, and the sound was loud. Li Hong didn't fall behind for a while.

The man sighed in surprise, stopped in mid-air and looked up and down carefully, and suddenly shouted: "I know you, you are Chu Hong of Jiuzhu Peak! Don't stop talking!" With a shake of his hand, more than a dozen flames flew back and disappeared.

Li Hong withdrew the Five Elements Shuttle and looked at the elder in front of him in disbelief, feeling a little strange in his heart, how did he know himself?

The man was about forty years old, with a ruddy and stocky face, not tall, and wearing an extremely special purple-black robe—Li Hong never remembered which vein had such a color. Look at the robe, but it is also the style of the nine-door attire, and there is a small green grass mark on the cuffs.

Could it be that this is the sign of the caretaker elder of the Valley of Return?

The elder was looking at him, his eyes curious and thoughtful, but clearly not hostile.

Li Hong gritted his teeth, hugged his fists and admitted: "It is Jiuzhu Peak Chu Hong below, but it is for a ......reason to trespass into the Soul Valley."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of more than a dozen flying swords breaking through the air behind him. Li Hong had to stop talking, with a pleading look on his face, very uneasy.

The elder groaned slightly and greeted the person in charge of the torture hall, only to hear him say: "But I made a mistake, this time it was just a misunderstanding, and I have to work for all the teachers and nephews." ”

"Hehe, Elder Yao is calling, the kid dares not to come to check! If it is a misunderstanding, it is better......" Speaking of this, the man's voice paused, and he looked at Li Hong suspiciously, feeling that this back was a little familiar, and raised his voice: "Which senior brother is in front, please come and speak." ”

Li Hong was helpless and turned around. He knew the voice of the owner. It was one of the disciples of the retinue of the Elder in Charge, although he couldn't be named, he was often seen, and the two of them were extremely familiar.

The man immediately recognized Li Hong, and his expression became very strange, blue and purple, and he didn't know what it meant. After a while, I only heard him smile reluctantly: "It turned out to be you." I guess it's really a misunderstanding. Since there's nothing to do, let's go. He clasped his fist on the flying sword and saluted Elder Yao, and without saying a word, he turned around and led people away.

If Yun Jiuzi could recognize it here, it would be the disciple of the Punishment Hall who wanted to steal the Qiankun Righteous Qi Pill.

Li Hong didn't know about this little festival, and it was too good to see the person in charge of the torture hall fly away automatically. Seeing them fly away, Li Hong flew in front of Elder Yao and took a deep look: "Thank you, Elder." ”

Elder Yao looked at Li Hong with deep thought: "It seems that the disciples in charge of the Torture Hall are a little afraid of you, it must be because of the ancestor of the Nine Sons of Yun, right?"

Li Hong felt that his face was feverish, and he took a deep look again: "The kid is rude, please forgive the seniors." ”

"Hehe, don't be too restrained, not to mention that as far as I know, you are not a restrained person at all, I have heard a lot about you. Now that you're here, sit down under me. Elder Yao was very kind, smiled, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Could it be that he is right for this medicine elder's eyes again? Li Hong was surprised and delighted, his eyes rolled and he was not pretentious, maybe he would have a fall after returning to the soul maple.

This time he really crossed the bright road, and he generously followed Elder Yao back to the Soul Returning Valley again.

The mouth of the valley is like a bean lantern swaying, and there is a three-open stone house. Taniguchi is already very narrow, and this stone house just seals the entire Taniguchi firmly. This is also the reason why Li Hong goes through the "back door" every time.

Elder Yao fell in front of the stone house, and there were other people living in the east wing, and Li Hong clearly sensed that the breath came from inside. It is two breaths, both of which are in cultivation.

Elder Yao led him to the front of the West Wing and pushed the door in.

The smell of medicine is on your face. The walls and floors are full of jars and jars, which are filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs. The head of the person who has not dispersed the smell of medicine for many years is drowsy. There is a large wooden table in the local area, and there are medicine bowls and pestles outside the four treasures of the table. This wing room is more suitable than a pharmacy.

Elder Yao really lived up to his name, and as soon as his mind moved, Li Hong knew the reason why he knew himself.

Elder Yao pushed over a stool and motioned for Li Hong to sit, sat opposite, and said with a smile: "Say, tell me how the Heaven Conquering Creation Pill was refined? I really regret that I didn't tell my nephew that I didn't witness that grand occasion with my own eyes!"

Li Hong smiled, sure enough, he knew himself because of alchemy.

The lights were flickering, the eyes of the two people in the stone house were blazing, Li Hong's mouth was foaming, and Elder Yao listened to it with relish, and he interjected a question from time to time. Li Hong found that he may not know much about alchemy, but when it comes to the medicinal properties of herbs, he is simply a treasure, no wonder he is called "Elder Medicine".

Li Hong had a little calculation.

At dawn, Li Hongcai flew out of the Soul Valley, and the harvest of this trip was great.

First of all, regardless of whether Xiao Fei and the big or small silver balls like to eat the Soul Returning Maple or not, anyway, the Medicine Elder promised to come and pick the Soul Returning Maple branches and leaves at any time as long as it was not too much. The second is to achieve its own goal.

To this day, the immortal grass obtained from the ancient immortal field is still in Qiankun Kui, precisely because most of the people who leave the door do not know it. Elder Yao had already promised to sort out all the immortal herbs and find out the names and medicinal properties one by one. It's going to be a huge undertaking and save a lot of work. Originally, Lingshizi had entrusted this arduous task to himself.

Knowing the properties of these immortal herbs, Li Hong's eyes lit up, maybe, he could try to refine other kinds of elixirs?

He laughed happily, flew back to Jiuzhu Peak, and when he arrived at the Green Building, he saw a slender white shadow flying out and rushing to his chest before suddenly stopping.

Chu Xi looked at her with bright eyes, and a hint of blush slowly soaked into her jade-colored face. In an instant, her pretty face was as radiant as a flower.

"You're here. ”

"Well, I'm out of customs. ”

The two looked at each other and stood so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

A strange feeling quietly surged into Li Hong's heart again, but at the same time, Wanyi's sad and sad beautiful face jumped out of his mind.

What the hell should I do?

He fixed his mind and said, "You came just in time, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Chu Xi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of reverence, admiration, and expectation, and gradually came to the deep thought of wisdom. She always knows what to do and when, and perhaps, that's why she's hesitating.

It's not necessarily a good thing that my daughter's family is too powerful. The thought flashed through his mind, and he felt a little ashamed. Shaking his head, he put all these chaotic thoughts behind him, and smiled at Chu Xi: "Go in and say." ”
