Li Xiuyuan and his wife left for three days. Finally, the endless forest was no longer in front of them. They climbed to the edge of a mountain stream because there was water and a stone house here.

Having water is a necessary condition for survival, and having a house is because the Master does not want to leave, he wants to stay here to practice.

The two masters and apprentices were away for three days. The teachers and students in the academy quarreled for three days, saying that they were blind in the past.

It was supposed to be a joyful and lively Spring Examination, but because of a piano performance and the disappearance of master and apprentice Li Xiuyuan, the elites of the major sects were indifferent.

After arranging for the disciples of our sect who passed the entrance examination, a group of people left the academy and went their separate ways.

For a time, the bustling academy returned to its former tranquility.

Even Jun Buyu from the Demon Realm and Hua Tianyu and Hua Chenyu from the Demon Realm also left the academy. Also leaving at the same time were Dongfang Yu'er, Chu Feiyan and others.

Under Dongfang Yu'er's persuasion, Chu Feiyan finally went to the Tianfeng Kingdom in the Shura Domain with her. Both of them wanted to figure out the mystery of Li Xiuyuan's life experience.

I don’t know what kind of deal Dongfang Yuer and Hua Tianyu made. In short, on the second day after Jun Wuyu and Hua Tianyu broke through, Hua Chenyu didn’t break through, and neither did Dongfang Yuer and Chu Feiyan who went with them.

movement.

But those who are interested understand that the two women will never let Jun Wuyu and Hua Tianyu go. This is just because the people involved have gone deep into the back of the academy, and they don’t know when they will come back.

This is the end of a spring trial.

Li Xiuyuan and his master spent a day cleaning up the hut next to the mountain stream. The master told him that this place is called Wangyue Stream. Although the terrain is not very steep, it is also a rare place for practice.

The terrain in the mountains is high. From a distance, there is still land on the top of the mountain, but the snow in the mountain stream has already melted, which is very suitable for the practice of the master and the disciple.

What Li Xiuyuan didn't expect was that on the second day after arriving at Wangyue Stream, the master spent a day cutting down trees with him, built a wooden shed next to the hut, and then moved out the wine Li Xiuyuan had brewed.

Li Xiuyuan stared at the Master blankly, speechless for a while.

The master looked at him and smiled: "Didn't you say you want fresh medicinal materials? If you don't bring the wine, will you make me run down the mountain all day long?"

"Looking at your processing style, teacher, do you want to brew the medicinal wine on the mountain and drink it before going down the mountain?"

There is another sentence he didn't say, that is, do you want to directly ascend?

How did the master know that he had so many thoughts? He thought that Li Xiuyuan was afraid that he would collapse from exhaustion, so that's why he said this.

After a few days of hard work, we finally settled down. The master moved out the tea table and placed it under the big tree outside the stone house. Li Xiuyuan moved two chairs, and the master and the apprentice started making tea in the mountain stream.

Sitting on the chair, Li Xiuyuan quietly looked at the mountains opposite Wangyue Stream. His mood was calm, like a passerby in the mortal world. In his opinion, this was the real mountain, and the previous Luoxia Mountain was too small.

Only when you are in this boundless mountain can you understand the truth that each mountain is higher than the other.

"I only tell you where there is medicine and where there is danger... From tomorrow on, you can go pick medicine alone. Don't disturb me to enjoy life here. If you encounter danger, just shout and I'll be there for dozens of miles."

We can still make it."

The master took a sip of tea and threw a few fireworks to Li Xiuyuan. "Don't run too far. If you go further than fifty miles, even gods can't save you."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at the master and asked: "Master, didn't you go to collect herbs with me?"

Unexpectedly, the master blew his beard, looked at him and smiled: "Do you think I am your bodyguard? If I follow you, do you still want to practice? Do you want to break through? I have old arms and legs, you can't bear it

What?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said with a smile: "I originally thought I dug a hole and wanted the teacher to jump in, but I didn't expect that I dug it for myself."

The master looked at him and laughed: "Aren't you an expert at digging holes? You just played the song "Si Wu Xie" and you disturbed a pool of spring water.

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he saw him, and murmured to himself: "I really had no other thoughts at the time. I just wanted to play a piece of music for the teacher. I didn't expect this to happen."

The master shook his head and said calmly: "Since it's over, don't think too much about it. Let's walk around nearby tomorrow and don't go too far. Otherwise, if you don't make it back that day, you will have to spend the night in the wild."

Li Xiuyuan was startled and thought to himself that it's not like I didn't stay here on the mountain. But when he understood, he was startled and thought that this was not Luoxia Mountain. There were monsters here.

After deciding to go into the mountains to search for medicine, the master was afraid that Li Xiuyuan was not familiar with medicine, so he specially prepared some herbal manuals for him.

Li Xiuyuan took a look and found that these brochures introduced herbal medicines, including their medicinal effects and pharmacology, as well as the growth environment of herbal medicines. There were illustrations on each page, and the introduction was quite detailed.

After just looking at them for an hour or two, Li Xiuyuan returned these booklets to the master. What made the master speechless was that Li Xiuxing actually looked at him and said: "I know more medicinal herbs than what is in this booklet. My master understands them."

I don’t know as much about medicinal herbs as I do.”

When the Master heard this, he couldn't help but tremble at the corner of his mouth. He looked at him and said, "Xiu Yuan? Even I want to split your head open and take a look. What is inside?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he laughed and said, "Actually, I think so too."

...

Wangyue Stream is just outside the mountain, which is an excellent place for practice for Li Xiuyuan, especially for Li Xiuyuan who has not yet broken through to the Golden Core realm.

Although Li Xiuyuan often went to the mountain to collect herbs alone on Luoxia Mountain, this was the first time for him to go to the mountain behind the academy to collect herbs.

There is no need to prepare food. The dried yellow mutton roasted in winter comes in handy now. The weapons include iron bows and iron arrows. He is fully armed now.

It didn't take a quarter of an hour for Li Xiuyuan to dive into the mountain.

Looking around, the dark mountain forest is like a wild beast stretching between heaven and earth, with no end in sight.

The mountains were full of green trees and jagged rocks, and the mountain breeze blowing in his face made him feel refreshed.

The Master said that there are many ferocious beasts and raptors in the mountains, and many of these ferocious beasts and raptors are something that even practitioners in the realm of gods must avoid.

So the Master warned him not to go too far and to set off fireworks to call for help if he encountered danger.

Students in the academy who don't have any strength don't dare to go too deep.

Master said that thirty miles away from the mountain stream is considered a safe zone, but after thirty miles there are many dangers, and the further you go in, the more dangerous it becomes.

Li Xiuyuan just wants to find some elixirs for making wine, and he doesn't want to go too deep right now, so his own safety is not in danger.

After driving up the mountain road for half an hour, Li Xiuyuan was not idle. He kept thinking about whether he could find the herbs he encountered in Luoxia Mountain. It was because of those herbs that the old Taoist priest found the opportunity to ascend.

After much deliberation, Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry anymore.

Is this possible? It’s hard to find a husband. You have to take your time and improve your realm first, right? How about setting a small goal and breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm within a year?

When they arrived here together, Li Xiuyuan felt energetic and rushed forward with a loud shout.

There was a "plop", and before Li was happy for long, he realized that despite being happy, he still had one leg that was inconvenient.

Li Xiuyuan got up from the ground and whispered softly: "When will you wait until you can heal my leg?" What disappointed him was that even after leaving the academy, the talisman in his body was still there.

No response.

Is it possible that we should stay further away from our teachers?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan decided to give it a try. He tried to leave the master's range of perception, which was in the mountains and forests thirty miles away.

An hour later, he successfully pocketed a medicinal herb hidden in the grass. With a good start, he was not afraid that there would be no more medicinal herbs to pick next.

After walking and harvesting all the way, Li Xiuyuan had picked four different herbs by evening. Based on their quality, if they were sold at the foot of the mountain, they would probably be worth ten silver coins.

After all, this is the outskirts of the mountain behind the academy. People come and go from time to time, so it is difficult for herbs to grow here.

Normally, they would be harvested and taken away once they grow. Although he only harvested four plants, Li Xiuyuan was quite satisfied.

These herbs are not needed by himself, but they can be used to make wine. Li Xiuyuan doesn't know what kind of herbs he needs. He can only distinguish the functions of the herbs after he gets them.

Just like the shopkeeper in a drug store.

On the first day he entered the mountain, he ran too far and saw that the sun was about to set. Li Xiuyuan glanced at his left leg and thought that he would have to spend the night in the wild today.

As long as his left leg does not heal, he will not be able to run all over the mountains and plains. No wonder the master told him not to leave too far from the mountain stream, because he was worried that he would not be able to return.

The main purpose of going into the mountains this time was to collect herbs for Master to make medicinal wine. Now we have only found a few kinds, and the quantity is too small, so we have to work harder.

Since he had limited mobility, he decided to rest on the spot overnight and wait until dawn tomorrow to search again.

When he used to hunt in the mountains behind Taoist temples, he would go out on the same day and come back the same day, rarely spending the night in the mountains.

But now that it was at this juncture, he couldn't help but think too much. Li Xiuyuan naturally knew what to pay attention to when spending the night in the mountains.

Climb a big tree nearby, find a suitable and comfortable position where there are many branches, lie down, close your eyes and rest.

He couldn't sleep for a while, so he practiced the Taixuan Sutra with his eyes closed. He didn't even need to turn over the book to recite the content. He could recite it with his eyes closed. This was the memory forced on him by the old Taoist priest.

After practicing for an hour, after walking a lot of mountain roads today, I fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Li Xiuyuan practiced swordplay for a while and felt that he had made some progress.

He felt that the true energy in his Dantian was becoming more and more solid. He had a feeling that it was about to break through the barrier. The energy in his meridians seemed to be reaching its limit, and he was only one step away from reaching the next level.

Maybe before the end of spring, I will break through to the realm of golden elixir.

This discovery made Li Xiuyuan very happy. In just one year after he entered the body from the golden sign, he went from a person with broken muscles and unable to practice, all the way to the ninth level of foundation building.

How many months had it passed? He was about to break through to the realm of golden elixir. This speed of cultivation made him feel a little scary. If he told him, he might not believe it.

He decided to hide this secret, at least until he was able to protect himself.

After drinking some water and eating two pieces of dried meat, Li Xiuyuan gained strength and then embarked on the journey to continue searching for medicine. He could not waste this good spring time.

Yesterday he walked sideways, and today he decided to climb a few more miles. If that didn't work, he would return to Master's place to rest for two days, and then come out again after breaking through to the realm of golden elixir.

When I break through to the golden elixir, the stronger I am, the more danger I can face.

After spending half a day, Li Xiuyuan found more than a dozen medicinal herbs, and even found two medicinal herbs like Datura. However, there were still not enough herbs needed to brew medicinal wine.

The master and apprentice brewed five large vats of wine this time, and naturally used five times as many herbs as they did in the Taoist temple.

Time passed quickly, and when night fell, Li Xiuyuan was still searching in the mountains and forests.

It's not that he doesn't want to rest, it's that he is a little lost. He can only wait until the sun comes out tomorrow to find the way down the mountain.

He originally thought he could hunt some game today, but he was so focused on searching for medicine that he missed all the pheasants and rabbits passing by one by one, which made him couldn't help but curse himself.
