"The Jade Conch Fruit is ripe at noon today. Although it is not a particularly rare item, a single Jade Conch Fruit can at least save you dozens of days of work for your current cultivation."
Dan Lingsheng, whose face was still cold and severe, conceived a plant with red triangular leaves with one hand. Apart from the red leaves, the most attractive thing about this plant is the emerald green leaves on the branches. Green, strange fruit shaped like an escargot.
"The Jade Conch Fruit will bloom and bear fruit once a year, but the fruit will fall half an hour after it matures, and it will rot immediately after being buried in the soil. Therefore, you should arrive at the Jade Conch Valley near the top of the mountain before noon, and each person collect a Jade Conch Fruit. Roll it with the leaves of the Biluo tree and eat it. Remember that the biluo fruit is cold in nature and contains toxins, which need to be dissolved by the leaves of the Biluo tree, so you can only eat one. If you are greedy, you will bear the consequences yourself! "
"This mountain is so steep!" Luo Bei and the others watched carefully and nodded one after another, but when they turned their heads again, Luo Bei couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
The cultivation practice arranged by Dan Lingsheng this day is to go to Tianren Peak to pick a jade snail fairy fruit that ripens today, but the Tianren Peak in front of him is steeper than ever before. The entire mountain wall is almost vertical. A mountain path carved out of the mountain wall is like a ladder to the sky. From a distance, the mountain peak is really like a blade standing between the sky and the earth. If it is not on the mountain wall There is also an iron cable used for the handrail beside the dug mountain road, Luo Bei thought that he might not be able to climb to the top.
"Looks like that herb, it's not only to make this Jade Conch Fairy Fruit assist our cultivation, but also to hone our will."
"Luobei!" While Luobei was thinking that, someone suddenly shouted from behind. "Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi?" Luo Bei turned around in surprise, but Xuan Wuqi was standing on the mountain road behind him, a little out of breath, with tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Why, didn't you expect it to be me?" Xuan Wuqi looked at Luo Bei and the others, and snorted arrogantly, "The test you suffered, I also suffered when I faced the wall, do you think I can't pass it? Is that a test?"
"Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi, I didn't mean that." Luo Bei was a little stunned. He had never had any similar thoughts with Xuan Wuqi, and he was a little confused by Xuan Wuqi's words.
"Facing the wall for ten days, after being punished, you still have such an aggressive mind. Could it be that people with advanced cultivation all shout it out of their mouths?" Also snorted coldly.
"Uncle Master taught you well." Xuan Wuqi didn't show any displeasure, but just saluted Dan Lingsheng respectfully, "Disciple Xuan Wuqi has been taught, please join this trial."
Dan Lingsheng was silent at first, looked at Xuan Wuqi coldly for a moment, and finally waved his hand, "Go."
"Thank you, uncle!" Xuan Wuqi walked to Luobei's voice with great joy, looked at Luobei, and said heavily in his heart, "Luobei, although I have been punished for ten days less than you, I will never lose to your!"
"Brother Lin Hang, why don't you leave?"
But Luobei's attention was not on him at the moment.
The Jade Conch Fairy Fruit ripens at noon, counting half an hour after ripening, Luo Bei and the others now have only two more hours to reach the Jade Conch Valley near the top of the mountain.
When Dan Lingsheng nodded in agreement with Xuan Wuqi's joining, Luobei, Caishu and the others were ready to set off. But at this time, Luobei found that Lin Hang was standing still, his face was a little pale, so Luobei couldn't help but want to ask.
"Luo... Junior brother Luobei...you...you go first, and I will go last." Lin Hang said a little timidly.
"Why?" Luo Bei looked at Lin Hang very puzzled.
Lin Hang looked at Luo Bei, and after a while, he finally explained hesitantly. "I...I...go...I also climbed this Tianren Peak last year, but... I couldn't climb it. The mountain road is narrow and cannot allow two people to go up and down at the same time..."
Listening to Lin Hang's hesitant explanation, Luobei realized that Lin Hang also accepted this practice last year, but because of his inconvenient legs and feet, the mountain road was too steep to climb up. And there is no iron chain handrail on one side of this mountain road, and it is vertical and steep. Now Lin Hang is afraid that if he walks in front and cannot climb up, the people behind will also be hindered by him, making it difficult to move forward.
It turned out that Lin Hang didn't want to drag the rest of his brothers down.
"It's okay!" Luo Bei said to Lin Hang immediately after he realized it, "Brother Lin Hang, you have practiced for another year. No matter what, you must have improved compared to the previous year. What's more, you have inconvenient legs and feet. In the middle of the team, we can also help you, go up together."
"This... this... how can this be, in case I..."
"Did you use the magic talisman I gave you last time? It doesn't matter if you use it, I still have it with me. If you really can't hold on, I'll stick two magic talismans for you. I'm sure you can get it." Go. The Jade Conch Fairy Fruit has that effect, we can't miss it."
"That's right, Senior Brother Lin Hang, you'll be right in the middle."
"Yeah, if we want to go up, we go up together..."
Lin Hang originally refused to go up, but when he heard Luo Bei say that, and Cai Shu, Ling Dongshan and others also said that, he stopped talking, bowed his head and walked silently behind Luo Bei.
At this moment, the magic amulets that Luobei gave him are in his arms, wrapped in a piece of square cloth.
He was not willing to use these amulets even when he went to Tianzhu Peak to find herbs last time.
But what made him stop insisting was not these few magical amulets, but that he couldn't bear to refuse Luobei's sincere friendship and kindness.
He was also moved by the words of the other senior brothers. He lowered his head, not because of the usual humbleness and cowardice, but because he couldn't help but was about to cry.
Lin Hang felt that after Luobei came, everyone gradually treated him better. Now everyone treats him more than ridicule, but with care and help. But when he thought this way, he didn't expect that a large part of it was also because of himself. Because he was also one of the few people who passed the cruel test, even though he lived such a humble life in Shushan, he still refused to poison the people around him.
And the relationship between the few people who passed the test is also much closer than before.
Perhaps, true friendship can only be produced in a real test.
"Senior Brother Lin Hang." Just when Lin Hang was following Luo Bei and wanted to cry, along with Xuan Wuqi, among the seven of them, the most active and mischievous Gong Yang Jinbo suddenly smiled. He said, "Brother Lin Hang, you shouldn't be in the last row, you should let Junior Sister Caishu be in the last row."
"Why?" Lin Hang, Luo Bei and the others didn't think about it for a while, and couldn't help being startled.
"Because we men look at a man's butt, it doesn't matter, but if Junior Sister Cai Shu climbs in front, we... it seems a bit indecent." Gongyang Jinbo smiled.
"Gongyang Jinbo! What are you talking about!" As soon as Gongyang Jinbo's words fell, Cai Shu jumped up, "Do you want to die? Could it be that the rodent tiger didn't catch you hard enough last time?" ?”
"Haha, Junior Sister Caishu, I know I was wrong." Gongyang Jinbo jumped away with a smile, begging for mercy, "You have a lot of adults, I won't dare next time."
"Hmph, next time you talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth apart. What are you calling me? Did you overeat and eat like a bucket? Don't you remember that I arrived in Shushan earlier than you?"
"Oh... I forgot, only Luobei can call you junior sister, Senior Sister Caishu..."
...
"Strange, why didn't I feel the feeling of being unable to climb this time? Could it be that my cultivation has really improved a lot?"
A group of people from Luobei marched hard on the mountain path of Tianren Peak with both hands and feet. Although they were all sweating profusely and panting like a bull, Lin Hang also felt panting as if his internal organs were about to pop out of his mouth, but what surprised Lin Hang in the team was that he didn't have the same breath as last year. Climbing this mountain is like, once you climb it, you have the feeling that you can't climb it no matter what.
It's only an hour now. Although he took two breaks on the way, Lin Hang followed Luobei and has already climbed half of the height. Looking up again, after a few hundred meters, it is no longer such a steep mountain road, but a flat ridge.
So this time, without accident, I can climb up anyway.
In fact, what Lin Hang lacks most now is nothing but self-confidence and the approval of others. His aptitude is not as bad as he imagined. His slow progress in cultivation is largely due to his confidence and lack of approval from others.
And these, Luobei has never been lacking.
Looking from behind, Lin Hang saw that Luo Bei's entire back was drenched with sweat, and he could hear Luo Bei's heavy breathing, but Luo Bei's back gave him an extremely powerful feeling, light It was this back view that gave Lin Hang confidence, making him feel that following Luobei, he would definitely be able to reach the Biluo Valley!
"Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi's will is really firm!"
Luo Bei didn't know what Lin Hang was thinking, Xuan Wuqi was in front of him. This arrogant and stubborn boy insisted on being in front of Luo Bei, climbing to the top. Obviously, Xuan Wuqi's physical strength will not be much stronger than Luo Bei's. But at the last section of the steep mountain road of hundreds of meters, Xuan Wuqi unexpectedly climbed up the steep mountain road abruptly without resting even once. Turn around on the slightly flat ridge and look at Luobei.
Seeing Xuan Wuqi like this, Luo Bei was also deeply motivated and climbed up abruptly.
"Hmph, it's still slower than me." However, in Xuan Wuqi's eyes, Luo Bei, who had no intention of competing with him, turned into deliberately competing with him.
Sweaty shirt.
After climbing the last few hundred meters, the first six people who climbed the ridge were all drenched in sweat!
On the contrary, at the end, Cai Shu, who looked the most delicate, just wet the vest. Obviously, Cai Shu has the best foundation.
"Hahahaha!" Luo Bei and the others panted for a while, seeing each other's distressed appearance, they suddenly couldn't help laughing together.
"That should be Biluo Valley."
Amidst the loud laughter, Luobei suddenly saw a sunken valley near the top of the mountain in front of him, and it looked crimson from afar.
"smell good!"
"Yes, what a strong aroma!"
Before they reached the valley, Luo Bei and the others had already noticed a strong fragrance, which seemed to have a hint of sweetness, which made people feel refreshed and happy when they smelled it.
"so beautiful!"
And as soon as they entered this flat valley, everyone was a little stunned.
In the entire valley, there are green snail trees as tall as two people!
The leaves of the Biluo tree are the size of a palm and are reddish red, while the dead leaves that fall to the ground are golden yellow. Right now, the ground in the valley is covered with a thick layer of golden leaves, and there are basically no weeds. Because the whole valley is close to the top of the mountain, it is ventilated and dry. Walking on the thick leaves is like stepping on the ground. It feels like a rare blanket in a wealthy family's home.
The top of the head is red, while the soles of the feet are golden.
This violent color impact deeply shocked the entire group.
"Pi Luo Guo!"
Suddenly, Gongyang Jinbo let out a cheer, and everyone immediately found that on the same crimson branches, there were sparse, emerald green fruits that looked like snails. The skin of the fruit is very thin, and the inside reveals a water-like luster, and the sweet aroma comes from this green snail fruit.
Just by looking at the color and smelling the fragrance, Luobei and Caishu can be sure that the Biluo fruit is already ripe.
"Pick the fruit first."
Luo Bei immediately picked one, and according to Dan Lingsheng, wrapped it with a piece of Biluo leaves, and then handed it to Caishu.
Picking Shu also picked it up naturally, and Luo Bei picked another one by himself, just wrapped it in leaves, when he suddenly heard Ling Dongshan cheer again. Looking along the sound, there is actually a clear stream in the valley, winding and flowing.
After two hours of hard climbing, the entire group was smoking with thirst. Suddenly seeing this clear stream, the group couldn't help cheering and ran over one after another.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! First take a few mouthfuls of mountain spring to quench your thirst, and then taste this green conch fairy fruit." After Gongyang Jinbo laughed, he bent down to drink water. "Wait." Ling Dongshan, who was the first to discover the stream, stopped him hesitantly. "Although the stream water is clear, I don't know if I drink it, it will be fine."
Hearing what he said, the group of people hesitated, but it was as if the heavens deliberately refuted Ling Dongshan. Not long after Ling Dongshan finished speaking, a gray squirrel suddenly jumped out of a green snail tree not far from everyone. Jumping off, like a dragonfly touching water, drank a few mouthfuls of stream water, then jumped up a tree and disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that there is no problem." Luo Bei and the others were stunned for a while, but couldn't help but smile at each other.
"It's delicious!" Gongyang Jinbo was the first to take a big sip, acting as if he had drunk good wine.
Luo Bei also took a sip with a smile, the stream was clear and had a hint of sweetness unique to mountain springs.
"Haha, let's have a drink together!"
Miao Mu simply sank half of her face into the stream, and drank heavily.
But at this moment, what Luo Bei and the others did not expect was that several teenagers wearing black clothes who seemed to be a year or two older than them appeared in their sight.
These people seemed to come down from the top of the mountain. Looking at the clothes they wore, Luo Bei and Cai Shu could tell at a glance that they should be disciples of the Shocking God line like Zong Zhen and the others.
The Luobei group, who hadn't expected others to come, suddenly saw these people, and they were all a little dazed unconsciously.
But before they could take any action, these young men in black clothes, as if they didn't see their existence at all, walked past them not far away, and reached the stream of the stream where they were. upstream.
"Brother Hongjing, the stream here is very cool, how about soaking your feet together?"
Regardless of Miao Mu and the others who are still drinking water, among the boys in black shirts, a boy with a fair complexion, slender eyebrows, and a somewhat sharp face said to a boy with a round face and narrow eyes beside him, After saying this, he took off his shoes and socks like no one else, and soaked his feet in the stream.
"Okay, let's soak our feet together." Several other people also smiled, removed their shoes and socks one after another, and soaked their feet in the stream, stirring for a while.
"These people are here to deliberately find fault!" Luo Bei and Cai Shu glanced at each other, and in an instant, such an idea appeared in their minds!
