Floating down from the entrance of the cave, Duan Minghui embarked on a long journey of climbing. He climbed over a mountain and another mountain. He climbed up a ridge, and there was another ridge in front of him. After walking for a whole day and night, he was still wandering in the boundless mountains.

After leaving thirty miles, the number of small animals gradually increased. It seemed that the monster's territory was only about thirty miles in radius. I also knew whether it was weak or strong in this mountain. Fortunately, although he encountered more and more animals, his strength was not as strong as that monster. Those beasts that had bad intentions were easily killed by him.

The next day, when it was bright, Duan Minghui had to find a cave that was not deep as a temporary residence to rest. He first burned several insect repellents in the cave and drove out the mosquitoes and snakes that might exist inside, and then painted two guardians, a warning talisman and an invisible talisman on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. Then he returned to the cave and started to sleep soundly.

The effect of the guardian talisman is similar to that of the Buddhist talisman, but it is far less powerful than the latter. It can only emit a light curtain to prevent outsiders from entering at the portal. The protection strength cannot be compared with the Vajra talisman. The warning talisman can detect possible dangers and malicious creatures within a certain range. It is similar to the alarm that can simply predict the future crystal ball and mind detection. The invisible talisman hides the light generated by other talismans, and can simply simulate nearby terrain and conceal the terrain within the specified range. It is generally used to hide the portal.

Duan Minghui didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he was awakened by the alarm from the alert talisman. He quickly got up, tiptoed to the entrance of the cave and peeked out, but heard a few steps coming from afar, and no one was seen.

He was determined to use the round mirror technique to peek, but he was afraid that the other party would be discovered. The spiritual energy in this world was so strong that he instinctively thought that the other party must be stronger than him. So he was quite hesitant. In the end, he chose to keep a conservative and wait and see.

The footsteps sounded like three people. The distance was still far at first, but they soon arrived near the cave. This made Duan Minghui further overestimate the strength of the visitor.

The three of them were talking while walking, because they were far away at the beginning, Duan Minghui could only hear their words after they got closer:

"......The sect's picking mission this time is to have at least ten first-grade spiritual herbs per person, or the old rules. Zhaonan, you have to give us at least two of us! So you have to pick at least fourteen! What, do you have any objection?" A young man said arrogantly and domineeringly. Another voice of the same age was in line with it.

"But the limited time for the sect is only half a month. It is impossible for me to pick so many spiritual herbs in such a short time..." A young man who knew his cowardly personality was nodded.

"This time, it was the boy who was in the outer disciples of the Alchemy Hall who couldn't help collecting herbs for us!" The man who spoke at first said angrily. Then he said: "I don't care. Dogzi and I must complete the task anyway. Otherwise, if we can't pass the monthly examination, we will have no chance and will definitely be kicked out of the mountain gate."

"But-" The cowardly young man stopped talking, stuttered for a long time, and finally got the courage to say, "But I am almost fifteen years old this year. If I can't pass this monthly exam and can't get the sprint of Qi Refining Pill, I will no longer be qualified to become an outer disciple."

"You still want to be an outer disciple? Look at those disciples who entered the school with you back then, who did not reach the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period and successfully became an outer disciple? Only when you went up the mountain at the age of eight, it has been fifteen now, and it has been seven years since you were only fifteen years old. Now you are about to reach the age of fifteen, and you are thinking about sprinting again. What have you been doing? I advise you not to daydream. You are destined to be like us in this life, and you can only be a boy for the rest of your life!" The man who made the first voice said disdainfully.

Then there was a silent silence. Obviously the boy was not persuaded.

"Don't force us to use strong! You must know that you are only the second level of Qi refining, the third level of Qi refining, and I am the fourth level of Qi refining! Don't think about picking up enough medicine and secretly returning to hand in the mission. Without an identity token, you can't even find the mountain gate! In order to prevent you from giving up, you can hand over your identity token now!" the domineering voice said again.

Then there was a brief fight.

"Hmph, I'm shameless! Do you have to let us knock you down? Okay, now you have no identity token. If you still want to stay in Xuantian Sect to fight for the chance of becoming an immortal instead of returning to your secular hometown in a mess, just pick the medicine for us! Maybe you are lucky this time and can successfully collect more than fourteen pills? Well, there's not much time left, go quickly, remember to gather here fourteen days later, let's go back to the mountain gate together!" The domineering voice threatened and tempted her, and finally said impatiently.

A staggering footsteps went away, and it was the injured boy. The two previous sounds sounded again.

"Brother Hu, do you think that boy Zhaonan can pick fourteen spiritual herbs? You must know that the spiritual herbs nearby have been almost picked by our Xuantian Gate." But it was the one named Gouzi who said.

"If you can't pick these safe areas nearby, he won't pick them deeper into the mountains?" The domineering voice called Brother Hu said impatiently, "Hehe, but I don't want that kid to go to the deeper dangerous areas so hard. If that kid dies, wouldn't we not be able to grab the spirit grass from him anymore? This time we must pick enough ten spirit grass, otherwise we will be driven down the mountain! So if we can't pick ten spirit grass this time, we will snatch all the spirit grass of that kid Zhaonan!"

"But if the boy collects herbs and doesn't get a single spiritual herb, he will be dealt with by the execution hall very badly-" The man named Gouzi seemed to be not very good at his mind, and he actually said that.

Sure enough, the man named Hu brother got angry: "Why are you still worried about the life and death of that boy Zhaonan? If we cannot pass the monthly review this time and are driven down the mountain, we will never be protected by the sect again. Do you think the boys we offended over the years will let us go down the mountain alive?"

"I just said Ping Ming shouldn't always offend people..." The muddy boy named Gouzi continued to be muddy.

"You stupid guy! If it weren't for my cousin, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you! Okay, now you can collect herbs for me too! I'll go east, you go west!" The man who called Brother Hu left like a gust of wind after saying that.

"Hey, can you run so fast? It seems that Brother Hu's Qi Refining Level 4 is very powerful!" Duan Minghui, who had been hiding in the cave, had a preliminary judgment on his ability from the speed of his departure.

Then he heard the guy who didn't seem to be very smart in his head muttering: "Tsk, it seems that there are others who listen to you besides me." After that, he actually left at the same high speed and broke through the air!

Well, it seems that my judgment was wrong. It shouldn't be because they are very powerful. They should have used some powerful auxiliary talismans or magic weapons. Duan Minghui modified his previous judgment. What should I do now? He thought about it and decided to try the strength of local cultivators in this world first.

Of course, I had to pick the soft persimmon first. I saw him chanting the mantra, and a round mirror-sized aperture appeared in the void in front of him. The image reflected inside was the scene of the young man who had left the earliest.

I saw him limping his feet, his face full of numbness, moving forward aimlessly like a walking corpse. He looked like a teenager with an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a standard short-dressing costume, holding a medicine hoe in his hand, and carrying a small medicine trichos on his back.

After peeping at him for a while, the boy seemed not to notice it. Duan Minghui became a little bolder. He pinched the trick and pointed it into the light mirror. A breeze blew across the boy's face. The boy felt something, looked up blankly, and then lowered his head and fell into a sigh of his miserable fate.

At this time, his face was no longer the numbness he had before, but first a burst of sadness, then became boundless anger. He clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and even the muscles on his face kept trembling. It can be seen that his anger was at its peak.

But this anger did not last long. Soon, he became angry and paralyzed like a deflated balloon, with cowardly expressions such as helplessness, weakness, acceptance of fate, and self-deprecation.

Well, this kid's strength doesn't seem to be very good? Not only can't notice my peeping, but he can't even notice my behavior of him. He is also pitiful and has poor will. He is easily moved by me and plays with it in his palms. If the strength of local monks at this level is like this, I don't have to worry too much. Well, don't be too careless. Listen to their previous conversation, the strength of this young man is the weakest among the three of them. Let's observe and talk about it.
