Under the scorching sun, two figures walked out of the gray pine forest. They were wearing Taoist robes from the Lianbao Pavilion. They looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. They each held a hoe in their hands, and their faces were covered with mud.
After walking for a while, he sat down against a pine tree. Sweat was dripping from his forehead and mixed with ashes on his face. He looked very embarrassed.
One of them threw the hoe aside, rolled up his sleeves and took off the water bag from his waist. He opened the stopper and poured it into his mouth, but not a drop of water came out of the water bag.
There was fire in his eyes, he threw away the water bag and took out a porcelain bottle, but immediately gritted his teeth and took the jade bottle back, looked at the other person next to him, and asked feebly: "Brother, do you still have water?"
?"
"It's long gone."
The man next to him responded with a hoe.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have accepted this mission!"
The man with his sleeves rolled up yelled, and said in an anxious voice: "You can't meditate here, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, the Yang Fire Tank will flood the true energy, which is simply no place for people to stay!"
"Who should I blame?"
The man who was called Senior Brother curled his lips and said angrily: "I was practicing in seclusion in the palace, and I didn't know who wanted to refine the magic weapon, so he used favors to coerce me to come with him to this place where no one lives.
Suffer.”
"Haha~ Junior brother is wrong. Senior brother, don't be angry. When I master the magical weapon, I will definitely give you an extra pill of joy!"
The junior brother who rolled up his sleeves heard his senior brother's unkind tone and quickly apologized with a smile.
Senior brother's forehead jumped when he heard this, stood up, and said calmly: "I suddenly felt the opportunity for a breakthrough. I'm sorry, senior brother, I have to go back to retreat immediately, and I won't accompany you."
After saying this, the man strode in one direction with his hoe in hand.
The junior brother who was sitting on the ground was stunned. He quickly grabbed the hoe and chased after him. He blocked the way and said, "Senior brother, don't leave. How about I give you one more pill?"
"snort!"
The senior brother snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and walked around him to continue moving forward.
Junior brother blocked his way again and asked tentatively: "How about three pills?"
The senior brother said in a mocking tone: "Junior brother, you should enjoy your elixir slowly by yourself!"
After saying that, the man crossed over again.
Junior Brother's cheeks bulged and he shouted: "I'll give you half of the total!"
The senior brother who walked a few steps away slowly turned around and asked, "How much is half?"
The junior brother blinked and said, "Well...six pills."
The senior brother grinned, stared at him and said, "Junior brother is not very good at arithmetic. I remember that the senior sister gave you twenty-four pills of Joy of God."
"I knew that senior brother was eyeing my magic pill!!"
The junior brother approached him with a look of pain on his face, and muttered: "But I only have twenty pills left now. If they are used to break through the realm, why do senior brothers need so many pills? At most three pills of Joyful God can cleanse the turbid energy in the body.
The fourth level of solid essence cultivation has been completed."
"I said you are too stingy!"
The senior brother said something and then asked: "What about you! You are already one step ahead of us in reaching the fourth level of Solid Yuan. What are you keeping the remaining elixirs for?"
"Don't I want to give it to Junior Sister Yun Nan of Guanghan Palace... No!"
The junior brother replied without thinking, but immediately denied the words after he said it. After covering his mouth and coughing several times, he said sternly: "I want to save it specifically for the other junior junior brothers in the future!"
The senior brother gave him a look of contempt and said: "I don't care who you give it to. You have twenty pills left. You just said you would give me half, so that's ten pills. If you dare to default on your debt, don't ask me to help you in the future."
!”
After saying that, the man walked forward again
The junior brother opened his mouth and froze on the spot. After a while, he quickly caught up and whispered: "Senior brother, can we discuss this matter again? It's useless for you to ask for so many pills!"
"Who said it's useless!"
The senior brother suddenly stopped and replied without turning around. He looked ahead with bright eyes. A wooden house appeared on an open grassland in front of him. There were several low benches in the shape of tree stumps beside the wooden house.
The junior brother looked in the direction he was looking, his expression suddenly brightened, and he said, "Hey! Who built a cottage here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man walking out from the side of the wooden house, holding a large variegated stone the size of a millstone in his hand.
This young man was Wang Li. He glanced at the two people in the forest, found a low stool and sat down. He placed the stone on the ground, made a spell with one hand, pointed it at the stone, and held a small sapphire sword.
Flying out from his sleeve, a green light about a foot in length bloomed and scratched downwards, and the large stone in the shape of a millstone immediately shrunk by one-third.
"Jiangang?"
The two men's expressions froze, they each adjusted their robes, and walked forward side by side.
Soon they arrived in front of Wang Li and were about to say hello when they saw Wang Li recalling his small sword and raising his hand to grab the stone in front of him. Five thin cyan lines immediately emerged from his fingertips and penetrated into the stone.
After a few breaths, he hooked his five fingers, and a corner of the stone suddenly broke open. Then with a "click", a yellow snake with green threads all over its body emerged from the ground.
However, if you look closely, you will see that its thumb-sized head is like a bullet, with a few strands of whiskers on both sides of its mouth, its body is cylindrical, and its tail handle is flat and thin on the sides. It turns out that it is not a snake, but looks very much like a loach in a pond.
"Earth Fire Dragon Loach!"
When the junior brother saw the yellow snake appearing, he couldn't help but exclaimed. He touched the senior brother next to him with his shoulder and whispered: "Senior brother?"
The senior brother next to him rolled his eyes at him and said, "Be more ambitious!"
Wang Li smiled at the two of them, took out a wooden box, opened the lid, and placed the head of the local fire dragon loach on the edge of the box. The dragon twitched its tail, opened its mouth and spit out a ball into the box.
Brown sand.
"The Essence of Wutu!"
The two people nearby saw the grain of sand in the box and exclaimed at the same time, looking indescribably excited.
Wang Li nodded and put the dragon loach back on the big stone. He loosened his fingers and the green thread wrapped around the dragon loach disappeared immediately. Then the dragon loach twisted its body and went straight into the stone again.
After closing the wooden box and putting it into his sleeve, Wang Li stood up and saluted the two of them, saying, "Wang Li from Yuandu Palace has met these two senior brothers."
When the two of them heard this, they looked slightly surprised. They each held their hands. The senior brother smiled heartily and said: "Junior brother, you are polite, I am Cangyun Palace Wen Chaohui."
Then he pointed to the junior brother next to him and said: "This is my junior brother Zhao Heng."
Hearing his senior brother introduce himself, Zhao Heng smiled slightly and raised his hand to Wang Li again.
"It turns out they are two senior brothers from Cangyun Palace."
Wang Li felt a little surprised. He took a small step back, raised his hand sideways and said, "Please come into the room and have a talk."
Wen Chaohui and Zhao Heng both thanked each other and entered the wooden house after being polite. After entering the house, they found that apart from a futon, there was only a set of tables and chairs in the house.
"Speaking of which, this is not the first time I have dealt with your senior brother."
Wang Li invited the two of them to sit down, put a tea set on the table, poured them a cup of tea, picked up the cup and took a sip first, and said with a smile: "I met them on the flying boat that came over four days ago.
There is a junior sister from your palace named He Ying."
"Junior brother came here with Junior Sister He?"
Wen Chaohui looked surprised. He raised his glass and took a sip. He didn't feel anything from the drink. It was just ordinary spiritual water and clear dew.
Zhao Heng drank it all in one gulp. He was already very thirsty. When Wang Li saw this, he filled another cup for him. Zhao Heng drank it all in one gulp and laughed: "Haha! Good tea!"
Wang Li shook his head, refilled it for him again, and said: "Senior brother is joking, this is just tea brought from the palace."
“What a great tea!”
Zhao Heng said with a serious look, then changed his tone and said: "Junior brother, can you tell me where you caught the fire dragon loach?"
Wen Chaohui's cheeks twitched. His junior brother was too anxious. He cupped his hands and said: "Junior brother, please forgive me. To be honest, my two junior brothers took over the task of excavating Wutu concrete bricks in Lianbao Pavilion, but they found something in the mountains.
I haven’t caught a fire dragon loach in half a month, so I’m really curious, I wonder if it would be convenient for my junior brother to tell me something.”
"nothing."
Wang Li took a sip of tea and said, "I just went to Yangshan Mountain and stayed there all night before I caught the Earth Fire Dragon Loach."
"You stayed all night near Yangshan!"
Wen Chaohui took a breath, and Zhao Heng next to him also looked like he had seen a ghost.
