"Okay, don't be happy so early. You haven't forgotten, right? This is just the first thing that the teacher told you. The subsequent series of tests will not be as simple as today. You have to be mentally prepared. Get ready." Li Ming reminded again, "Seeing that you are injured today, we will definitely not be able to start directly in the morning. There is a bottle of ointment here. Take it and apply it on the knife every three hours. The injury should be scabbed by tomorrow." As he spoke, Master Li picked up a long-necked ceramic medicine bottle from the mess on the ground and threw it to Tianjihong.
Tianjihong was also quite happy to hear that there was such a good medicine that could heal his injuries within a day, and he hurriedly opened the sealed bottle. The ointment was greenish-yellow, and a strong herbal smell could be smelled from the mouth of the bottle. This refreshing fragrance made Tianjihong's head shake. The fatigue left after yesterday's battle seemed to be absorbed by this fragrance. The nose is relieved. It doesn't take too much guessing to know that an ointment of this quality is definitely not brewed by ordinary people, and it must be used by monks to heal wounds in battle.
"Haha, stop scratching your head and apply the medicine quickly. I spent a lot of money on this [Tian Shuang Bone Renewal Ointment] and went to Black Dragon City to find an alchemy master to make it. This thing can usually heal monks The fatal injuries caused by martial arts can be said to be a magical medicine that can regenerate muscles and bones for ordinary monks. Today, it is an advantage for a mortal boy like you, and the effect will naturally not be bad. It is just a mortal. The wound caused by the sword will be cured within a day."
What Li Ming did not tell Tian Jihong was that this bottle of ointment was also mixed with ingredients of heaven and earth elixir. He had spent a whole week searching for an earth elixir near Tianlong Mountain. Earth Dragon Fruit], such a precious spiritual fruit was originally used for cultivation, but it was used to refine healing ointments. Naturally, the miraculous effect does not require any extra effort. You must know that if ordinary monks want to break through the bottleneck and enter a higher level of cultivation realm, they need to absorb the extremely terrifying spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a short period of time. If they just rely on the operation of the skills, they will not be able to complete it. They must assist heaven and earth. Only by absorbing the elixir can the success be achieved. Ordinary low-level monks are often eager to obtain higher-level spiritual grass and spiritual fruits, which can provide more spiritual energy when absorbed, thereby increasing the success rate of realm breakthroughs, and at the same time, it can also provide support for their future practice. Lay a stronger foundation.
However, how easy is it for those who are not strong enough to rely on luck to find such spiritual objects in this vast world? Even they know the precious value of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, how can those big forces not compete to snatch them? If there is no strong sect or sufficient financial support, monks at the lower level of body refining and Kaiyuan realm often don't even have the opportunity to see these high-quality spiritual grass and spiritual fruits, and can only choose some low-level yellow or mysterious ones. grade materials to absorb. But over and over again, these casual cultivators naturally limited their future cultivation potential; they who broke through with low-level elixirs, compared with those cultivators of the same level in wealthy aristocratic families and sects, who enjoyed countless treasures of heaven and earth. For the latter, the spiritual power they can mobilize in their bodies is naturally inferior to that of the latter; coupled with the lack of martial arts and martial arts, the gap in strength between the two sides has gradually widened.
However, these things are still too early for a child like Tianjihong who has not yet started. If he had known that the total value of the ointment in his hand, including the earth spirit fruit and subsequent production costs, was probably enough to buy half of Donglin Village, he probably would not have accepted it so readily. After carefully applying a little ointment to the wound, the imagined pain from the contact between the wound and the ointment did not come. Instead, what came from it was a refreshing feeling of coolness. The miraculous effect of this ointment is self-evident. Tianjihong can even clearly feel that the wound on his left arm, which originally had a faint trace of blood, was torn open and the skin is miraculously healing at this moment. It was as if the body's self-healing function was amplified a thousand times. After a while, Tianjihong felt the itching coming from the wound, and the numbness and pain that had lasted all night were gone.
"Well, not bad! It seems that your boy's body is stronger than I expected. I estimate that your stab wound will be able to recover within a few hours." Li Ming also nodded in approval, and then asked Another thorny question for Tianjihong, "By the way, you just said that Lao Qi, who you captured, is still tied up at home and unconscious by you, right? How do you plan to deal with him?"
This matter was originally a major headache for Tianjihong; as mentioned before, he initially planned to ask Uncle Sheng and others for help in the village, and bring the seventh child back to the village for everyone to deal with. But let’s not talk about whether anything might go wrong if he escorted a scheming desperado for several miles to the village. Even if everything went well, Tianjihong actually wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving the gangster alone in the village. long time. The other party's two companions are still at large at this moment and they don't know where they are hiding. These two people will definitely not allow the seventh child to fall into the hands of the villagers and reveal their background. They will definitely find them back in the village and try to save him. It's hard to say whether the villagers who don't know how to practice can compete with these desperadoes. Even if the caravan masters can intimidate the two guys and make them dare not go directly to the village to cause trouble, they still can't. It is ruled out that they would ambush and kidnap villagers on the main road outside the village to obtain the situation in the village, as the three people planned at that time. In short, once those guys find out that Lao Qi has been moved here for resettlement, there will probably be no peace in Donglin Village.
But now, when Tian Jihong, who is naturally intelligent, heard the master's inquiry, he immediately understood what the latter meant. Now Master Li's precious package has fallen into the hands of this group of people. He has stayed in the village for so long, obviously he is unwilling to let these guys go and hopes to recover the things. Now as long as I hand over the seventh child to the master, not only can I sell the master a favor, but with Master Li's strong strength, I don't have to worry about those two guys coming to my door anymore. Depending on Master Li's intention, it is even possible I plan to use Lao Qi as bait to lure those two people into taking the bait.
"Master, you are right to ask. I am currently worried about how to deal with this guy." Tian Jihong showed a sad face. In fact, he had already tacitly agreed with Li Ming in his heart, "How about this? You also mentioned it just now. My package was snatched away by this group of people, and now one of them happens to fall into the hands of my disciple. In my opinion, I just leave this person to Master, and maybe I can even ask him about your package. What do you think of his whereabouts?"
"Well, that's fine. Since you intend to worship me as your teacher, from now on, in addition to the dangers in practice, I, as the master, should also protect your little disciple's daily personal safety. This dangerous This guy stays with you, and I'm worried that the other two people will plot evil against you and wait for revenge. It just so happens that you are injured today and can't practice, so I'll go with you to see what's going on with Lao Qi. We will discuss together how to deal with him." Li Ming also understood that Tian Jihong understood what he meant, and he was very satisfied with this very clever apprentice, and then whispered: "Don't worry, although you The boy didn't say it clearly, but you did do me a big favor this time. I will remember this favor. If you can really pass the exam and become my disciple in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly. "
"Hey, thank you, Master! My disciple will lead the way for Master." Tian Jihong also replied with a smile. After Li Ming put away the sword on the ground, the two set out on the road to the outside of the village together.
"So this is where your brothers live. It looks like the conditions are quite difficult. It's hard for you two kids." Li Ming stepped into the open space in the courtyard and looked around, looking at the wrinkled and shabby huts. frown. After he parted ways with Tian Jihong yesterday, he also intentionally inquired about the latter's life experience with Uncle Lin at the inn, and learned that the two brothers had been living on their own in the wilderness for two years without a father or mother. Therefore, I have a certain understanding of how sensible Tian Jihong is at such an age, and I can't help but feel some sympathy and admiration for this young apprentice.
"Alas, the house is simple and the hospitality is poor, which makes Master laugh." Tian Jihong replied politely, and at the same time, he looked around to look for his younger brother; thinking that it was already this hour, Xiao Fei should have gotten up early. .
"It's okay, don't worry about these little things. By the way, didn't you say that your brother is also at home? Why didn't you see him?" Li Ming subconsciously used his soul to explore the area for a week, but found no one else. signs of activity.
"Yeah, what's going on?" Tian Jihong still didn't see his brother in the room after opening the door. At this moment, he suddenly became alert: Could it be that he had been away for less than an hour, and the two gangsters were escaping outside? Did he just come back and catch Feidi? Would they be so bold in such broad daylight? Thinking of this, Tianjihong quickly got up and walked around to the side of the room. When he saw Lao Qi under the tree, he was still tied tightly in place, Tianjihong felt relieved. Since this guy has not been rescued, it must not be that his companions have just arrived.
After thinking for a while, Tian Jihong finally had the answer in his mind. However, at this time, his face slowly darkened. He turned to Li Ming and said, "I'm sorry, Master. I think I know where Xiao Fei is. I'll take him with me right now." He came to see you. This naughty kid is so careless after such a big thing happened at home! I will give him a good education when I find him!"
