There is a mountain in a thousand rivers, and its name is Langshi.

Langshi Mountain stretches and undulates for hundreds of miles, among which there are countless cliffs, shrouded in clouds and mists all the year round, making it difficult for people to explore the scene clearly, it is very dangerous.

The climate in the mountains is warm and humid, and there are many exotic flowers and fruits and various medicinal materials growing there. There are also many birds and animals. It is a treasured land within the Qianjiang City.

Although there are many dangers in Langshi Mountain, because there are many ancient legends about immortal monks, it is very mysterious and fascinating.

In Langshi Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, there is a small town with a population of only a few thousand people. This town is called Baishi Town.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water. In Baishi Town, which is surrounded by mountains, the herb collectors and hunters in the town all gather herbs and hunt for a living in Langshi Mountain.

Ten miles southeast of Baishi Town, there is a mountain called Baishi Peak.This peak is [-] zhang high, looking from a distance, it is quite tall and majestic, and there are cliffs and abyss on both sides of the mountain, so there are few herb pickers and hunters visiting here.

However, at this time on the White Rock Peak, there is a young man in blue cloth, walking through the thorny forest with a basket on his back and a sickle for picking medicine.

The cyan cloth on his body was a bit old, with two patches on his back, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet. Although his immature but slightly resolute face was still stained with dew.

With his left hand, he pushed aside the thorns and vines in front of him with a wooden stick, and with his right hand, he held the medicinal scythe tightly, searching for traces of herbs with clear eyes.

Obviously, he is also a herb picker in Baishi Town.However, it was a little surprising that this boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he dared to come to this rough and difficult Baishi Peak alone.

After all, this White Rock Peak is not only extremely rugged, but also has many ferocious beasts, even old hunters and herbalists dare not enter it at will.This young man dared to collect medicine in it alone, which shows that he has a lot of courage.

The young man's name is Du Feiyun, he is 14 years old this year, he is a herb collector who earns his living by gathering herbs, today he is like usual, just after dawn, he hastily ate breakfast and came to the White Rock Peak to start a day's hard work.

In just two hours, the basket on his shoulders was filled with two catties of medicinal herbs.This weight is already comparable to the half-day results of many veteran herb collectors, which is enough to show that Du Feiyun is much stronger than most of the herb collectors in the town.

After wandering around the mountain peaks for half an hour and picking dozens of Silver Moon Flowers, Du Feiyun found a big rock and sat down to rest.

Unloading the pannier on his shoulders and wiping off the sweat from his face, Du Feiyun looked at the herbs in the pannier with a smile on his lips.

"Others are afraid that this White Rock Peak is too rough and has ferocious beasts infesting it, but how do they know that this mountain has the most and densest herbs? Without risk, how can there be rewards?"

It is true that this is the case, in the past two years, Du Feiyun has been able to pick nearly twice as many herbs as others every time, earning tens of pennies every day, and earning about three taels a month of silver.

However, even so, these three taels of silver are still stretched short for the expenses of a family of three.After all, he, his sister, and his mother had to eat and clothe, and the mother was weak and sick and had never stopped taking her medicines. A mere three taels of silver a month was a drop in the bucket.

His mother's illness is very strange. Since he was a child, he has seen his mother take medicine all the time, but there has been no sign of improvement over the years, and the cause cannot be found out.

Du Feiyun knew that the methods of the doctors in Baishi Town were really limited. If he wanted to cure his mother's illness, he had to wait until he had saved up enough money to go to Qianjiang City to seek treatment from Master Xue, who was well-known in Qianjiang City.

Sitting on the boulder to rest, Du Feiyun thought about his poor family background and his own humble strength, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and his expression was a little gloomy.

His greatest wish in this life is not only to let his mother and sister live a good life, but also to improve his strength and become a great monk with great supernatural powers!

These two wishes have always lingered in his heart, and they have not changed for many years!

Because he knows that only by becoming a powerful monk can he give his mother and sister a comfortable living environment and not be bullied and insulted.

Since he was a child, because of his poor family and different backgrounds, he has always lived in the cold eyes and spurned by the residents of Baishi Town.The young children of the three major families in Baishi Town, those young people who were similar to his age, often bullied and beat him.

Every time he was met by those dandies, they would at least swear at them, and at the most severe beatings to vent their anger.What made Du Feiyun's hatred skyrocket even more was that Qin Shouyi, the second young master of the Qin family, relied on his strength to be stronger than him, and always took pleasure in teasing and beating him.

If he hadn't been strong-willed and survived with difficulty, he might have died young after being beaten and seriously injured several times.

Recalling the past childhood, always being beaten and bullied by the children of the Qin family and the Bai family, Du Feiyun felt a trace of hatred in his heart.he

He had already hated those young men from the Qin family and the Bai family, especially that Qin Shouyi, and hated them to the bone!

In the past month, that bastard Qin Shouyi not only bullied him, but even picked up on his sister Du Wanqing.He often pestered Du Wanqing roguely, and made a fuss about Du Wanqing.

In Baishi Town, who doesn't know that Qin Shouyi is a pervert?I don't know how many yellow-flowered girls have been harmed by him.

Now, that goddamn pervert has turned his mind to Du Wanqing.Du Feiyun was already furious, wishing to beat him to death to save the people.

It's a pity that his talent is mediocre, and his cultivation path is very bumpy, and now he only has the low strength of the fourth floor of the physical training stage.

As for Qin Shouyi, that damn bastard, his strength has already reached the sixth level of the body training stage. If he uses his family's martial arts, Du Feiyun is no match for him at all.

Du Feiyun hated himself for being useless, for lacking genius-like cultivation aptitude, for lacking strong strength, and for not being able to give his mother and sister a comfortable life.

If he was a powerful monk in the Qi refining period, who would dare to look down on him, bully and beat him from the Qin family and the Bai family?

If he had the strength in the Qi refining period, who in the entire Baishi Town would dare to cast aside their family with cold eyes?How dare that bastard Qin Shouyi beat him up and bully his sister Du Wanqing?

Thinking of these past events in his heart, Du Feiyun's heart was full of anger, and he said in a low voice: "Now my strength is low, everyone can bully me, and I can't protect my mother and sister well."

"If I, Du Feiyun, become a powerful cultivator one day, all those who dare to bully me, my mother and sister, I will definitely make your life worse than death!!"

His words are firm and decisive, but it's a pity that although he thinks so in his heart, the reality always makes people helpless. He doesn't have a prominent family background, let alone strong strength.

Being bullied, scolded and beaten but unable to resist, and can only endure in silence, that kind of hatred, that deep sense of helplessness, who can understand?

The longing for great power grew wildly in Du Feiyun's heart like weeds, and it never stopped for a day.

Even in his dreams, he fantasizes that one day, he will be able to possess great strength and trample all the bastards who have bullied himself and his family under his feet!

Maybe it was the venomous sunlight that made Du Feiyun's eyes a little blurred, or maybe it was the angry flames in his eyes that made his eyes blurred.

In short, inexplicably, Du Feiyun suddenly discovered that the scene in front of him had changed.

Not far in front of him, a magnificent city suddenly appeared. The majestic and tall city walls, the row upon row of buildings and pavilions were all vividly presented in front of our eyes.

The city is very vast, and the city walls stretch for hundreds of miles, boundless.Inside the city wall, there are tall and luxurious houses and buildings, attic palaces, and from a distance, it is full of radiance and splendor, like a fairyland on earth, a majestic palace in the nine heavens.

Du Feiyun stood up in astonishment, staring at various scenes in the city, his face was full of curiosity, and his eyes gradually became clouded under the dazzle.

What he didn't realize was that he had got up at some point, and walked towards the wide and tall city gate with a basket on his shoulders.

Stepping into the city, Du Feiyun gradually saw the scene in the city clearly, and found that there was no one in the city, it was very quiet, and fallen leaves could be heard.

At the foot is a wide avenue paved with white jade slabs, extending into the distance.On both sides of the avenue, rows of unknown flowers and plants are planted, and the fragrance is fragrant and fragrant, which makes people feel refreshed.

In the entire city, there was no sound at all, and no one appeared. There were only wisps of white clouds flowing between the houses and buildings.

He wandered aimlessly in the city along the white jade avenue under his feet, kept looking around at the strange things around him, and unknowingly came to a slightly secluded alley.

There are still no people here, the alley looks a bit empty, the ground is still clean and tidy white jade slabs, there are many merchants and shops on both sides of the alley, and the lintels of the shops are all hung with simple and dignified plaques.

Looking at the ancient antique and medicine shops on both sides, Du Feiyun suddenly found that the door of a shop was ajar, so he stepped into this ancient utensil shop called "Yu Xian Zhai" by accident.

Yuxianzhai's shop is huge, filled with dozens of one-person-high shelves, and many simple and elegant antique utensils are displayed on the shelves, exuding a dignified and mysterious atmosphere.

The light in the shop was a bit dim, Du Feiyun looked around the shop, but couldn't see a single person, so he came to the simple and clean rosewood shelves, and carefully looked at each item.

On the shelf in front of you, there are a variety of antiques on display.Every piece of antique is so exquisite, so noble and luxurious, or dignified, or light, or elegant, Du Feiyun was fascinated by it for a moment, and forgot the time.

After walking lightly, browsing and admiring the delicacy and elegance of dozens of goods, Du Feiyun's eyes suddenly fell on a small black tripod half a foot high, and he couldn't move away.

The small tripod was dark in color and made of unknown material. It had three legs, and several lifelike black dragons were carved on the tripod body. It was dignified and mysterious, but also very agile.

Du Feiyun was gradually fascinated by it, his eyes were immersed in this small tripod and he couldn't help himself. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to take the small tripod off the shelf, held it in his palm and admired it carefully.

"Cough cough..."

A suppressed cough sounded suddenly, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere in the shop, and awakening Du Feiyun who was in a trance.

He turned around abruptly, and saw an old shopkeeper in a blue robe, a feather crown, and a chest-length white beard.He was standing up from behind the counter sleepily, lying on the counter, squinting at Du Feiyun.

It wasn't until this moment that Du Feiyun realized that there was no one in this fairyland-like city.At least, the old shopkeeper was standing in front of him alive.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this little tripod?"

For some reason, Du Feiyun inexplicably had the idea of ​​taking this small tripod as his own, once it was born, he couldn't stop it.At this time, he had already forgotten that he had never carried a penny on his body.

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper rubbed his sleepy and cloudy eyes, his dry and slack mouth trembled slightly, and said in a neutral tone: "Not for sale!"

Du Feiyun became anxious immediately, clutching the small cauldron in one hand, and said angrily: "Why do you open a shop if you don't sell things? Isn't this just a way of entertaining people?"

The old shopkeeper raised his eyelids slowly, narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, and looked back and forth at Du Feiyun for a moment, then his lips moved slightly: "You can't pay the bill even if you look at it, besides, this rare treasure in the world is also worth paying for." It's not something you, an ordinary person, can exchange for pickled things like silver."

After a pause, the old shopkeeper raised his eyelids again to look Du Feiyun up and down, and said slowly with his lips trembling: "However, since you came here and fell in love with this medicine cauldron at a glance, you are also predestined for it. If you If you sincerely want this medicine cauldron, then leave the bamboo basket behind you, and it will be yours."

As soon as this remark came out, Du Feiyun was stunned, and he was a little surprised and uncertain.Let's not think about how the old shopkeeper saw through his lack of money.Even the herbal medicine in this basket worth only a few tens of pennies would definitely not be able to be exchanged for this dignified and simple small tripod in his hand.

What's more, the old shopkeeper even said that this small tripod is a rare treasure in the world, a treasure that cannot be bought with money, which made Du Feiyun slander endlessly.

Could it be that this could still be the magic weapon of the fairy family, and the gods in the heavenly palace?This old shopkeeper is really boastful, and he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

However, since the old shopkeeper made such a decision to exchange a basket of herbs for a treasure that was so cheap, Du Feiyun would be called a little money fan in vain.

Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, Du Feiyun eagerly put the basket on the counter, and was about to go out with the small cauldron in his hand.

"Wait!" Du Feiyun was about to go out, when the old shopkeeper's voice came from behind, Du Feiyun stopped, thinking in his heart that the old man is going to go back on his word, right?

"You take this too, the two are originally a set, and one is indispensable."

Du Feiyun turned around, and saw a white light flying out of the old man's hand, and fell into his palm in an instant.

He lowered his head to take a closer look, and saw that it was a piece of white jade half a foot long. The white jade was as square as a bamboo slip, warm and moist throughout, and transparent in color, obviously not ordinary.

As a result, Du Feiyun was a little unexpected, he didn't expect that there would be such a treasure as a gift, he bowed and thanked the old shopkeeper in surprise, but he saw the old shopkeeper lying on the counter and sleeping soundly.

After thanking the old shopkeeper, Du Feiyun happily stepped out of Yuxianzhai holding the small tripod and jade slips in his hands, and ran all the way to the outside of the city gate. ;
