Starting from iron smelting

Otherwise, how could they let us collect it? It must be used as raw materials for alchemy. Don't be greedy for a small profit and put yourself in danger. A son of a rich family should not sit in the hall. It's okay to be more cautious. "

After hearing this, Liu Meng said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened just now. This thing has a fascinating ability, as if it can control your mind. I couldn't help but take it for myself. I didn't expect that this thing was so scary when it was on the tree, and it would be even more powerful in the bottle."

After that, Liu Meng put the cork back tightly and put the small white jade bottle close to his body. At this time, he noticed Lu Xiuyuan's injury and asked, "Brother Lu, how are you? How do you feel?"

Lu Xiuyuan had just experienced suppressing the blood vine wood and waking up Liu Meng, causing his blood and qi to surge, his throat felt sweet, and blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth. Lu Xiuyuan said with all his might, "It's okay, it's okay, I just feel my body is hot, my blood and qi are surging, and the circulation of spiritual energy around me is even worse."

Lu Xiuyuan forced out a smile with difficulty: "It's okay, I can hold on." But Liu Meng could see that he was not in good condition, his heart tightened, and worry was revealed in his eyes.

"Don't hold on. Your injuries look serious. We need to find a place to rest." Liu Meng said with concern, obviously realizing that Lu Xiuyuan was not as relaxed as he seemed.

"I'm really fine, just my qi and blood are disordered. I just need a short rest." Lu Xiuyuan clenched his teeth, trying his best to keep himself stable.

Liu Meng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, but if you feel something is wrong, you must tell me, we still have to go back and report."

The two found a relatively safe place in the quiet woods and sat down to rest. Lu Xiuyuan tried his best to adjust his breathing, feel the flow of spiritual energy around him, and tried to use some methods in his practice to relieve his injuries.

Liu Meng looked at Lu Xiuyuan with a frown on his face, feeling deeply guilty for his impulsiveness. He quietly took out a piece of crystal clear jade from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Xiuyuan: "This is a treasure I usually use to regulate my breathing. It has the effect of calming the mind. You can use it first, maybe it can help."

Lu Xiuyuan took the jade, nodded gratefully, and placed it near his qi sea to start circulating his spiritual power. The jade released a faint green light, covering Lu Xiuyuan's body like a deep green light protective shield.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere seemed quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves. Liu Meng stood by, watching Lu Xiuyuan's condition intently, hoping that he would recover as soon as possible.

Lu Xiuyuan felt the effect of the jade, and felt a little relieved, but he was still trying to recover. Gradually, he felt that the surging blood and qi had gradually stabilized, and his injuries had improved, but the spiritual energy in his body was still not flowing smoothly, and the big rocks accumulated in the sea of ​​qi seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and now he had difficulty mobilizing the spiritual power in his body.

Just as the two were meditating and regulating their breathing in the open space, a fireball suddenly hit Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan. The fireball was scorching hot, emitting a scorching light. Lu Xiuyuan was meditating and could already feel the presence of the light in the darkness. The hot air rushed straight to his face. The sudden fireball with a scorching breath was like a meteor that streaked through the dark night sky, instantly illuminating the faces of Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan. The firelight reflected in their eyes, arousing tension and shock in their hearts.

Liu Meng's body seemed to be ignited as the fireball approached, and a determined light flashed in his eyes. He swung the sword in his hand violently, and the blade crossed the night sky, and a silver-white light danced with the blade. In an instant, the fireball deflected, rolled up a blazing flame, and only drew a hot light and shadow beside the two people.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart seemed to stop for a moment. He reacted quickly, leaned back, and jumped up to avoid the scorching attack of the fireball. The flames swept across his robes, leaving a trace of burns. Lu Xiuyuan realized that this surprise attack was not simple, and secretly grasped his storage bag, thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

The fireball that they dodged exploded behind them, igniting the trees behind them. The temperature around them rose significantly, and the air was filled with a burning smell. Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan stared at the flames behind them, and their vigilance was upgraded to a new level.

Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan were both wondering in their hearts, who on earth was this person who dared to hurt people like this? However, this was different from a sneak attack. If it was a sneak attack with all their strength, they might have died on the spot and there was no way they could have avoided it.

"Be careful, it's fighting back!" A voice came from behind the tree. Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan heard a hint of sarcasm in the voice. They were stunned and angry at the same time. The opponent's attack seemed to be premeditated. They just fell into the trap designed by the opponent.

The mysterious man continued, "You're really good at dodging it. I just don't know if you can dodge it next time, you clowns in the woodshed."

Three figures emerged from behind the tree, with their arms crossed and clasped in front of their chests, staring at the two men. The voice that was talking was one of them, and he was obviously enjoying the scene just now. Liu Meng and Lu Xiuyuan showed an unconcealable nervousness on their faces, and a hint of anger in their eyes.

As soon as Lu Xiuyuan saw this scene and looked at their attire, he knew that they were also disciples of the Juling Sect and were very clear about their duties. He also recalled what Nanny Sun from the firewood room had said and concluded that they must be from the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

When Lu Xiuyuan heard the other party's ridicule, his face darkened slightly, but his heart became calmer. "What do you want?" Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and remained calm, while Liu Meng stared at the other party fiercely, but did not say anything for the time being. They were all thinking in their hearts, what was the other party's purpose, why did they do this to them, could it be because of the blood vine fluid they had just collected.

The leader, with a hint of amusement in his expression, examined the two people in front of him, as if he was looking at easy prey. His eyes fell on Lu Xiuyuan and Liu Meng, looking them up and down, like a cat looking at a mouse. Then he said, "The violent fluctuation of spiritual power just now came from here. Tell me, what treasures have you got? Hand them over voluntarily, so as not to suffer physical pain."

Lu Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "I thought he was some kind of person, but he turned out to be a thief and a rat from the Spiritual Medicine Garden. He has no ability to collect blood vine fluid, but he stole our things instead. What a shameless thing!"

The leading Spiritual Medicine Garden disciple continued, "I thought you were some kind of person, but it turns out you are Lu Xiuyuan, an outsourced disciple of the Juling Sect. Let me tell you this, the ones who brought me footbath water are all outer disciples."

Lu Xiuyuan said: "Just tell me, if you have the ability, come and rob it. You can't be defeated even by the outsourced disciples?" Lu Xiuyuan was paying attention to their movements. The leader was in the middle stage of Qi training, and the other two were in the middle and early stages of Qi training respectively. It should be possible to fight them head-on. He was confident that he could defeat them as long as he could remove the influence of the expired Qi Gathering Powder as soon as possible.
