"New disciple?"
Xiang Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Did he sneak up on you when you weren't prepared, or did he have help?"
Xiang Bao's face became even more ashamed, and he muttered: "There was no sneak attack or any help. He defeated me alone."
Xiang Shaofeng was startled, and his expression turned serious, "I didn't expect that there are such people in your Elephant Dance Academy. I don't know which family they are from."
Xiang Bao was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and directly stated his purpose, "Brother, help me teach him a lesson and get his things back."
Xiang Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Useless thing! You can't beat others, but you are asking me to vent your anger on you. Do you think you are still a child?"
"If I were you and failed this time, I would go back and practice hard, and then find my place again next year, what would I do with these evil ways?"
Xiang Bao's face was full of embarrassment, and he said bravely: "Brother, I don't just want to be angry. You also know that the first prize for the autumn harvest of Wuxiang Yuan this time is Wuliu Dan. I am determined to get it, and I will lend the silver-spotted fox as well." For this."
"As a result, the new disciple used some tricks to get ahead of me several times. He now has several high-quality medicinal herbs in his hands."
“Taking into account my original gains, it’s not a problem to win the first place.”
"Brother, please help me again."
Xiang Shaofeng was silent for a while, his face softened a little, and he said, "I'm also picking up the autumn harvest here."
Seeing that his brother's tone had softened, Xiang Bao felt secretly happy and continued to encourage: "The silver-spotted fox has always been used by the family. Seeing that the mountain will be snowed in a month, the silver-spotted fox will also hibernate. It is rare to borrow it for three days."
"If I get nothing, how will I explain when I get home?"
Xiang Shaofeng raised his head and glanced at the distant mountain peak, "I am a disciple of the inner courtyard. I went to teach a disciple of the Wuxiang Academy. If the sect knows..."
Xiang Bao hurriedly said: "Let's find a place where there is no one to attack. We will kill him afterwards and deny him any recognition. No matter what he says, it will be empty talk."
Xiang Shaofeng pondered for a moment and sighed, "Which mountain do you harvest in autumn?"
Knowing that his brother agreed, Xiang Bao said happily: "Wuzhishan, you can go back and forth in less than half a day."
Xiang Shaofeng finally made up his mind and said: "Forget it, the rewards from the inner court this year are nothing special, so I will help you. But you have to remember, you must win the first place in the spring competition next year, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Xiang Bao grinned and said, "Brother, don't worry, as long as I get the Five or Six Pills, I can enter the Blood Realm next year."
"How can the Blood Realm be so easy to enter..."
Xiang Shaofeng said no more, quietly led Xiang Bao down the mountain from a remote place, unfolded his body skills and went straight to Wuzhi Mountain.
"You said... he has the first level of talent?"
Xiang Shaofeng asked Xiang Bao about the fight between him and Zhao Lin on the way. He was shocked when he learned that Zhao Lin's cultivation level was only the first level of Qi realm and his fist strength was Shi Xiaoquan.
He was very clear about his brother's strength. If Xiang Bao was at the first level of Qi Realm, he could leapfrog and defeat his opponent at the third level of Qi Realm. He wouldn't be that surprised.
But the reverse would be incredible.
"What's so special about this person?"
"Brother, you don't know something. Although he only has the first level of Qi Realm, his strength is much greater than mine. Also, I have cultivated the whirlwind leg strength, but in terms of rising and moving, I am not as good as him."
"interesting."
Xiang Shaofeng became even more interested after hearing this, "But your cultivation level is two levels higher than his. Is your practice of Fire Cloud Palm Strength in vain?"
Xiang Bao scratched his head, "It's strange to say that we were fighting evenly, but he suddenly used some unknown means. His legs didn't move, but he came behind me, and suddenly jumped above my head..."
Xiang Shaofeng frowned and said, "Are you dazzled?"
Xiang Bao strongly denied: "Absolutely not! I also heard a strange sound at that time."
"what sound?"
"It's a bit like a rubber ball leaking air, hiss, hiss..."
"Stop hissing, I'll know when I try..."
The two ran for nearly an hour and arrived at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.
"Brother, your clothes are too eye-catching. Please change them to mine."
Xiang Bao took off his training clothes and said.
Xiang Shaofeng changed his clothes and said: "Just go find him, I will follow behind. Remember, no one else is present."
Xiang Bao nodded heavily, lowered his head and said a few vague commands to the silver-spotted fox in his arms.
The silver-spotted fox barked twice and hurried up the mountain.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them climbed up the back mountain, searched for a while on the Zhongzhi Peak, and finally came to the Index Finger Peak.
…
The sun was shining brightly, but Index Finger Peak was still cold.
Zhao Lin collected a lot of medicinal herbs in the morning and became more and more confident about winning the first place in this autumn harvest.
Whether Zhang Xiaoshan or Xiang Bao, they all use insects and beasts to find medicinal herbs. How can they compare to doing it themselves?
Some disciples find someone to learn how to find herbs in advance, which is indeed helpful to some extent. However, the art of collecting herbs is very deep and cannot be fully mastered without years of experience.
Moreover, with Zhao Lin's current sense of smell, even experienced herbal pickers are often inferior.
At noon, Zhao Lin found that he had finished drinking the water in the water bag, so he temporarily stopped collecting herbs and looked around for water sources.
There are some small lakes and pools on the Index Finger Peak. The water looks very clean, but as modern people, as long as it is stagnant water, no matter how clear it looks, we will not drink it.
Perhaps because of the cold weather, there were not many disciples on the Index Finger Peak, and there was no one on the road.
Not long after, Zhao Lin heard the sound of gurgling water in a higher place.
I saw a small stream flowing down the mountain stream, so clean that people could be seen.
As we went up the stream, we saw a spring gushing out from a natural crack in the middle of the mountain wall.
"It's so cold!"
Zhao Lin walked to the spring and took a sip of the spring water. He felt that it was sweet and cold, and the coolness went straight from his throat to his belly.
He took out his water bag and filled it with spring water, jumped down the mountain stream, and prepared to continue looking for medicinal herbs.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
The rhythm and pace of these footsteps seem a bit familiar...
"It's not him again, is it?"
Zhao Lin frowned, stood at the foot of the mountain stream, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, Xiang Bao walked out of the woods with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Why are you here again?"
Zhao Lin looked over and felt that the other party looked a little strange.
Xiang Bao was not wearing the training clothes from the Dance Elephant Academy. His eyes were red and excited, as if he was expecting something.
"Why can't I come?"
Xiang Bao's eyes flickered and he had a sneer on his lips, but he did not step forward.
"Could it be that you still want to..."
In the middle of his words, Zhao Lin suddenly paused because he heard a person rushing towards him quickly.
This person's legs kicked off the ground very powerfully, accompanied by the sound of crushing sand.
When I heard the footsteps at first, they were still far away, but after a few breaths, the sound came closer.
"Who runs so fast?"
Zhao Lin was startled. He looked up and saw a man with a black scarf covering his face rushing out of the forest.
