"Now is the second thing I want you to do." When he got to the point, Li Ming's tone became much more serious at this time, "In the Dongyun Mountains where we came with the caravan, there are many There are countless rare and rare herbs, including countless elixirs that can help monks practice. There are also all kinds of heaven and earth spiritual objects, rare crystal mines, etc., waiting for those who are destined to discover them. But at the same time, in addition to all kinds of magical herbs in the mountains, Outside of opportunities, there are all kinds of dangers lurking, which make ordinary people stay away. Not to mention all kinds of wild beasts and spiritual beasts running rampant all over the place, like the bandits and bandits we just dealt with, it is not a rare thing deep in the mountains; after all, this is The old forest in the deep mountains is not under the influence of any sect or family, and without the constraints of rules and regulations, it will naturally become a habitat that desperadoes long for."
"My teacher will not deliberately embarrass you. This time, you do not need to sneak into the mountains to face various dangers. There are many low-level spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits growing at the foot of Dongyun Mountain. These spiritual medicines are often not paid attention to by practitioners. , can only be used by Body Refining Realm monks to absorb to break through the realm, and the price on the market is also quite low. Generally, only the lowest level monks will occasionally go to pick these things for use when they are in poverty. Trafficking.”
"However, the things that these monks are not interested in are the treasures that many beasts long for. The practice of spiritual beasts is different from that of monks. They do not have so many shackles of realm, and they can swallow all kinds of elixirs in the world without limit; but Without the blessing of exercises, the efficiency of spiritual beasts in converting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into spiritual power during practice is far inferior to that of monks who run exercises; this also leads to the fact that even if the spirit beasts are not in danger of breaking through, However, their practice time is often more than ten times longer than that of monks of the same realm. Therefore, in order to speed up their practice, these beasts in the mountains who have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom all hope to absorb more spiritual power contained in the elixir and provide themselves with Transform into spiritual beasts and prepare for them. Therefore, various beasts can often be found near these spiritual grasses and fruits, so ordinary people who are not strong enough can only look at these spiritual grasses and fruits and sigh."
"What my master wants you to do is to look for three kinds of yellow-grade spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits at the foot of Dongyun Mountain. I have brought you the things. Just look for them according to the appearance of these spiritual herbs." Li Ming said. He fumbled around in his pocket, and soon took out three elixirs of very different shapes and handed them to Tianjihong's hands.
"First of all, this first plant is the top-grade yellow material [Spirit Snake Grass]. It usually grows in dense grass with strong spiritual power and close to water sources. It exudes a pungent aroma that can be smelled from a long distance away. It can be said to be the favorite of some snakes and beasts." Tianjihong stared at the first long-stemmed plant in his hand quietly: There are no flowers or fruits growing on the top of this plant, the whole body is emerald green, and its slender leaves are indeed weeds It looks like there are some fine little thorns between the stems, and Tianjihong's palms are slightly numb. In his mind, it was hard to imagine how monks usually used such strange-looking weeds to absorb their spiritual power. But at this time, he could only put this question aside, try his best to remember the appearance of the Spirit Snake Grass in his mind, and then continue to listen to Master Li.
"This second type of spiritual fruit is called [Fire Fruit]. It is a medium-grade yellow-level material. As the name suggests, it is rich in fire-attribute spiritual power. The energy is quite violent. It is generally suitable for some ferocious large beasts to absorb. Fire Fruit generally grows on fire. It is in valleys filled with aura, such as where underground fires erupt, near magma, or under high-temperature rocks exposed to direct sunlight every day." As soon as the fiery red fruit fell on Tianjihong's hand, Tianjihong could feel its connection with it. Differences: The place where this plant grows is completely different from the water and soil requirements of ordinary vegetation. It chooses to bloom and bear fruit in some barren places with harsh environments and extremely high temperatures. Therefore, the energy accumulated in its fruits also contains The breath of violence. This round fire fruit lay quietly in Tianjihong's palm, releasing a trace of heat. The chaotic fluctuations within it actually made Tianjihong feel like he was holding a bomb.
"There is also this last spiritual fruit called [Earth Fruit], which is a top-grade yellow-grade material. This thing looks quite inconspicuous. Different from the previous two elixirs, this Earth Fruit grows as its name suggests. It is under the soil, so it contains rich earth-attribute spiritual power. After being eaten by wild beasts or spiritual beasts, it can strengthen their defense and resistance to attack, and it is quite favored by some hard-shelled spiritual beasts that focus on defense." In Tianjihong’s opinion, this last spiritual fruit is the one that best meets the definition of a plant fruit. Its appearance is oval in shape and its tail is slightly pointed. The brown-yellow shell tightly wraps the internal pulp and seeds. Its unattractive appearance makes it difficult to place. You might not be able to tell them apart in a pile of pine cones. But when he lightly tapped the thick shell, Tianjihong immediately understood what was special about this fruit: the hardness of this fruit was definitely one of the best. Just now, his bony fingers seemed to be tapping steel, and they actually made a crisp "clang" sound. Tianjihong speculated that the hardness of the shell of this earth fruit was definitely no less than that of the ghost head knife used by the fourth man yesterday. Material.
"My master has explained everything that needs to be said clearly to you. Regardless of whether you tried to remember it just now, all you need to do now is to prepare these three elixirs in the Dongyun Mountains before dusk tomorrow. Find five of them and bring them back to the open space where you and I met today. This assessment is a comprehensive test for you. During this period, you may encounter various dangers and difficulties. This will have a great impact on your courage and strategy. , adaptability, practical experience, memory, completion speed, etc. are all great tests. Of course, it also allows you to clearly recognize these elixirs and improve your knowledge. If you start practicing in the future, you will also have to learn these broad practices among monks. To spread knowledge.”
"Any danger encountered during this test, unless it is far beyond the scope of what you can handle, I will not take action. What I can remind you now is: even if you have physical strength far beyond ordinary people , but if you encounter a beast with intelligence turned on, you should try your best to outsmart it through strategy. There is no need to compete head-on with it. In the end, you will end up losing both sides and put yourself in crisis. And the most important point is , absolutely do not try to go too deep. Just moving within a radius of twenty miles outside the mountain range is enough to complete the task of being a teacher. Once you enter the interior of the mountain range, various situations are likely to happen. If you just encounter this group of bandits today, Maybe it's just luck; if one accidentally provokes a ferocious beast that even the teacher can't deal with, then the trouble will be big, do you understand?" Li Ming's final explanation was already quite serious, This kind of thing that alarms the ancient ferocious beasts in the mountains has not happened before in the martial arts world. Although the existence of such ferocious beasts has never been heard of in the Dongyun Mountains, it is best to be careful.
"I understand, master, don't worry, my disciple will not let you down again this time!" Tian Jihong said with confidence at this time. He is not usually an arrogant person. After hearing Master's detailed explanation, he knew in his heart that this test would definitely encounter various difficulties. But at this time, Tianjihong's desire for power is also extremely strong. Now that the master has given him another chance after failing once, he will try his best no matter what. Even at this time, he has already felt The desire in his body was giving him a steady stream of energy and fighting spirit. He was so eager to try that he couldn't wait to hit the road right away.
"Okay, just have confidence. That's all I can tell you. What to do with the rest is up to you. I'm still in a hurry to get back to the village, so I'll leave first and come back here later at dusk. You two. As for Old Seventh, you don’t need to worry too much. This guy’s spiritual consciousness is suppressed by my soul power and he won’t be able to wake up until tonight. In broad daylight, I’m sorry that his companions don’t dare to be so bold. They came here to cause trouble. Wait until the master comes over in the evening before you start taking action. Then you two will wait and see the good show!" Li Ming has always had a resolute style. After speaking, he touched Tianji Fei's head and immediately Set foot on the road back to the village.
"Huh... Fortunately, Master Li is here, he really helped us solve a lot of troubles." Tianjihong looked at Li Mingyuan's retreating back and said with a long sigh of relief.
"Yes, Brother Hong, what should we do now? I just heard Master Li talk about the assessment. It sounds very dangerous. Brother Hong, do you think there is anything I can help you with?" Tianji Feizai After hearing that Li Ming arranged for his brother to go to the mountains alone to find the elixir, he was still a little worried. He knew very well that even the strongest and most alert hunters in the village usually only hunted in the woods not far outside the village, and most of them did not dare to step into the deep mountains.
"You little devil! I think you just want to sneak out after staying at home for a long time? You don't even have the ability to protect yourself and you want to help me. Can you please stop causing trouble for me? Not bad." Tian Jihong said helplessly, and then changed the topic again, "But there is one thing to say, I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone at home. Although Master Li swore that the group of people would never do anything during the day. I don’t dare to come and harass us in such a ostentatious manner, but after what happened yesterday, I still have to be vigilant. I don’t know what kind of trouble I will encounter when I go into the mountains to find medicine this time, and I am not sure whether I can get there in time. Come back before dark, so I think it’s better for you, Xiaofei, to stay in the village for half a day to avoid the limelight. When I come back in the evening, I’ll find you in the village and then we can go home with Master Li.”
"It's not impossible, but it wouldn't be appropriate to leave the seventh child at home like this, in case anything happens!" Tianji Fei reminded.
