The boundary of Baiyan City, a certain mountain range
During Qiye's galloping, his spiritual sense detected 10 unidentified people hidden behind a dense forest in front of him, guessing that they were bandits who had escaped from nowhere to commit crimes.
What surprised him was that there seemed to be a group of people hiding in another forest not far from the 10 people. Because the distance was far away, the specific number of people could not be detected.
On the top of such an inconspicuous hillside, two groups of people were hiding.
"It seems that someone is waiting here."
Qiye murmured in his heart, no matter what these two groups planned to do.
But now that he has discovered someone ambushing him, he has no intention of passing through here.
Although I am not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble, I have always adhered to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.
After finding out, Qiye turned his horse's head and chose to pass through another mountain forest...
In a jungle on the top of a mountain
"Ding Fei, you said we have been waiting here for so long, why hasn't that boy named Ah Qi arrived yet?"
Behind the woods, a masked man in black lowered his profile and asked.
"It should be soon. We received a tip that Ah Qi had left Baiyan City early in the morning and would arrive at our place around noon."
Among the several masked men in black, a man named Ding Fei whispered. This person is the servant sent by Beifang Ke to intercept Qiye.
This time, among the 10 people responsible for the ambush, three of them had reached the "First Level of Early War Level", and the remaining seven were also at the sixth or seventh level of the junior level.
To send out such a formation, it was just to contain a "junior first-level" outer disciple. It had to be said that Beifang Ke really had a lot of hatred for Qiye.
On another hillside in the woods
"Qian Ning, Mr. Wang asked us to help that Ah Qi, why haven't we seen that kid come for so long?"
A burly masked man said impatiently while sitting behind a stone squat.
"Lu Liang, what are you in a hurry for? Wait a moment..."
The servant who came to help Qiye rescue Qiye on the order of Wang Chiyuliang glared at the burly young man.
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry, my hands are itchy. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have rushed out and punched those turtles down one by one... This would save trouble."
Lu Liang rubbed his fists and said with an honest smile.
After hearing what he said, Qian Ning sighed in his heart.
Although this man looks rude, he has amazing strength.
At the age of 19, he was already at the "first level of battle level". Although he was not as strong as the genius disciples of the sect, he was still quite talented.
more importantly:
Lu Liang is not only strong, but also rough-skinned and thick-bodied.
Even if his strength is not as good as his opponent, if he gets into a dogfight, he will be unmatched among his peers who are at the "early level of battle level".
No one can fight him life and death, coupled with his aggressive nature, and the principle of fighting is not over until the opponent is knocked down, no one in the sect dares to mess with him.
Therefore, people gave it the nickname: Steel Sandbag
It is worth mentioning that:
Because Luliang's family is a dependent entity under Wang Chiyuliang's family.
Therefore, even though Lu Liang had a bad temper, he still listened to Wang Chiyu's good advice.
This time, Qian Ning brought him out specially, thinking that he would also be an ace helper.
But when this guy heard that there was a fight, he simply skipped the main task and just wanted to rush in and have a good time.
If Qian Ning hadn't used the name of 'Master Wang' to suppress him and not act randomly, there would really be nothing he could do to him.
"Oh, that Ah Qi, come on, I'm already so exhausted that I'm panicking..."
Lu Liang put his hands on his face and said helplessly.
…
Just like that, another two hours passed.
It was already afternoon in the blink of an eye, and the weather was sunny and hot.
"That's not right... Ding Fei, what's wrong with that boy? Logically speaking, he should have arrived a long time ago. Could it be that he didn't take this route?"
A masked man noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but wonder.
"How could it be possible? This is the only way from Baiyan City to Tianyun Sect." Ding Fei said with certainty.
"Why don't we go look for it? Waiting is not an option." The masked man suggested.
"Yeah, that's fine." Ding Fei agreed.
There were too many mosquito bites in the woods. If it wasn't for arresting people, he wouldn't have suffered this crime.
So, a group of them put on their casual clothes, rustled out of the woods, and found the road away.
"Hey, they are making some noise, what should we do?"
In the woods, Lu Liang, who was already panicking, saw the other party coming out from a distance and hurriedly reported it.
"Follow me!"
Without any hesitation, Qian Ning led the others to follow him in disguise.
…………
At nightfall, after seven nights of traveling all day, I finally returned to Tianyun Sect at dark time. After returning the horses, I went directly back to the Neimen Medicine Garden hut to rest.
…………
On the mountain road under the moonlight
"TMD! You actually made us wait for so long in vain! That kid has already returned to the sect."
At midnight, Ding Fei received a letter from Feixin and learned that Qiye had returned to the sect. He was so angry that he cursed.
the other side
"Damn!!! That brat has actually returned to the clan. I have suffered so much for him, and yet he has returned to the clan!"
Qian Ning also received the news, and Lu Liang, who had already been suffocating, cursed.
"No! I'm going to beat up those turtles, and then go find that kid Ah Qi."
Lu Liang, who had been holding back a lot of energy, wanted to rush forward and beat up Ding Fei and the others to vent his anger.
"Why are you beating me? Since Ah Qi has returned to the sect, there is nothing wrong with us. We'd better not try to scare others away, otherwise if the young master finds out, he won't be able to spare you!"
Qian Ning pulled Lu Liang, shouted in time, and then returned overnight with a group of helpers.
But Qiye, who had returned to the sect, didn't know that he just went out for a trip and actually made the two groups so angry.
In the remaining days, Qiye, in addition to completing daily tasks, practiced without leaving the hut.
Nowadays, his shadow steps have become more and more proficient, and he is firmly in the "chasing the wind, proficient" stage.
And after this month, I practiced fighting several times.
Now, Qiye can last about 500 breaths against the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Compared to the time when I couldn't hold on for more than a hundred breaths, I have undoubtedly made a lot of progress.
Even if the demon spider cannot be killed, it can still easily dodge the intensive attacks for a long time without falling behind.
In such expectant and diligent practice
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye...
In two months, Qiye ate all the human-faced demon spider blood food stored in the secret realm.
And in the belly of the demon spider, he collected a pot of green venom and filled it with ten jade bottles.
After all, the demon spider venom is considered a third-level venom and can be kept for later use.
Qiye, who ate the Man-Faced Demon Spider, also found that his body was obviously immune to low-level poisons.
Secondly, my skeletal muscles are a little stronger.
In a blink of an eye, the trial time has arrived...
Waimen Lake Center Island
"Yan Wan, Shan Wen, Zhou Ke, Liang Zijun... Lu Zigao."
In the square, an elder of Dantang was counting the number of people according to the roster.
This time, a total of more than 80 disciples went to Beishan Great Medicine Valley to practice, and the person in charge of the team this time was the great elder of Dantang: Situ Qingyang.
Situ Qingyang is 120 years old this year. He has the strength of "Early Level Three War Spirit Level" and has about 74,000 spiritual stars.
Although he looks gray-haired and frail with age, his body and bones are exceptionally strong, and his muscles are not inferior to those of young people at all.
It can be said to be: old on the outside but tough on the inside!
Having such a strong person leading the team also shows that the sect attaches great importance to this experience. After all, these more than 80 alchemy disciples are also intern alchemists who are about to prepare for the "first-grade alchemy master".
In addition, there were twelve elders from the Alchemy Hall accompanying him.
These twelve Alchemy Hall elders are also at the "late stage of war spirit level". They are specifically responsible for leading the disciples in groups to collect herbs outside the Medicine Valley, which can also protect the safety of these disciples to a great extent.
"To the Great Elder, the personnel count has been completed and everyone is here. Please give the Great Elder instructions."
The elder responsible for the roll call asked Situ Qingyang for instructions.
"Well, let's get on the boat."
Situ Qingyang glanced at the more than a hundred people, waved his sleeves, and motioned to board the ship.
So, everyone boarded a floating boat in an orderly manner.
Qiye, as a handyman, followed the team aboard the ship.
Although it is a trial for Dantong disciples, someone still needs to do some essential chores.
However, there are only a few handymen, only one or two in each team.
After all, there are too many people, and when there is real danger, the guardian elders will not be able to watch over them.
Qiye took a look at the ship. It was much smaller than the sect leader's ship that he took when he first came to Tianyun Sect. It was almost only one-tenth the size. However, there was no problem in carrying three to four hundred people.
After everyone boarded the ship, Elder Situ flicked his finger, and ten thousand spiritual stones flew into the boiler and instantly turned into blazing fire.
"Boom boom boom~"
As the fire burned more and more fiercely, the floating boat began to rise slowly...
Qiye, who was sitting on the corner of the floating boat deck, saw this scene and couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed:
This thing is fast, but it costs a lot of money!
While sighing, he couldn't help but cast a casual glance.
He saw a pair of eyes in the crowd, giving him a sharp and hostile look.
Hey, if we look carefully, it turns out to be that guy Lu Zigao.
"Does this guy still hate himself? Forget it, if you don't come to trouble me when you get to Beishan Medicine Valley, that's fine. If you dare to come..."
Thinking of this, Qiye's eyes unconsciously shed a hint of coldness.
When Lu Zigao saw the cold light flashing through Qiye's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart and timidly retracted his gaze.
It's strange, I am a 'Junior 9th Dan', how could I be frightened by a 'Junior 1st Dan'.
But, for some reason, after seeing that cold light, a kind of coldness filled his whole body.
At the same time, on the other side of the deck, Yan Wan also accidentally saw the cold light flashing in Qiye's eyes, and suddenly her face was shocked.
I have seen Qiye a few times in the alchemy room on weekdays:
There is nothing too impressive about his ordinary and simple appearance, rustic dress, and silent character.
She didn't pay much attention to this person. After all, in her eyes, a small medicine keeper was not worthy of her attention.
However, the cold light in Qiye's eyes just now made her feel a real sense of danger.
This sense of danger can only be felt by those who have truly experienced killing.
And she had also felt it in the strong men of the family.
Killing intent, pure killing intent.
This is not something that a disciple who grew up in the alchemy greenhouse can release from his bones.
"This Ah Qi is not as simple as it seems."
Yan Wan speculated in her mind
Seeing this person's unintentional display of murderous intent today, her attention instantly increased several notches, and she had classified Qiye as a dangerous person.
Qiye, who was staying in the corner of the deck with a harmless look on his face, didn't know that the murderous intention he had just accidentally revealed was actually noticed by others.
This does not blame him for not being rigorous.
Ever since the black demon flames devoured him, this uncontrollable negative emotion had been hiding deep in his heart.
If the subject's mood is affected, this negative emotion will be unconsciously displayed on the face.
…
The Great Medicine Valley in Beishan is five to six hundred kilometers away from Baiyan City, and is on the edge of the territory under the jurisdiction of Baiyan City.
The floating boat was flying rapidly at an altitude of one thousand meters. About three or four hours later, the floating boat finally arrived at a "fifth-class common city" on the edge of Baiyan City: Beishan Hongcheng.
Beishan Hongcheng is only 10 or 20 kilometers away from Beishan Medicine Valley. It can be said that it is on the edge of Beishan Medicine Valley. It is an ideal place to stay from Baiyan City area to Beishan Medicine Valley.
The reason why it is called 'Rainbow City' is because you can see a very unique spectacle here, which is the "Abyss Rainbow".
The air in Beishan Dayao Valley is humid and foggy all year round. Standing on the peak of the valley, you can see this wide rift valley area, all shrouded in white mist.
It is like a huge white line spreading out, completely covering the entire deep valley, isolating all external detection, making people feel confused.
When the weather is fine and the sun is shining, a rainbow will appear at the mouth of the deep gorge, leaping over the chasm and spanning both sides of the bank. So a fantastic landscape appeared:
Below is the smart and elegant Bailian, and above is the rainbow across Bailian. This white color is spectacular.
It also attracts many people to come and see the wonders.
"Beishan Hongcheng" got its name from this.
