In the dilapidated courtyard, the old bricklayer and the old bricklayer's son sat on both sides of the small wooden table under the eaves looking at each other. There were no signs of the original color of the long wooden table, and there were a few dishes of side dishes and a plate of broad beans.

For ordinary families, this is already a very rare "feast".

The old bricklayer's fingers, which had been polished by time and life, rubbed the small wooden table for a long time and finally couldn't help asking, "First?"

The bricklayer's son opposite nodded and repeated: "First!"

The father and son looked at me and I looked at you, but after a moment, they burst out laughing. The father and son were naturally Xing Yuanshan and Xing Tian.

"Boy, you really give your father a face. You are the first in martial arts school. Dad didn't dare to think about it before, which means you beat the boy of the Xu family?" Xing Yuanshan's face was wrinkled, but his face was full of wonderfulness.

"Dad, I'm just a discussion. Do you understand? Don't talk about it like fighting with a child." Xing Tian said helplessly.

"Nonsense, Dad naturally knows that Dad had participated in several martial arts exams back then, but after a long time, he didn't practice his kung fu, he wasted." Xing Yuanshan gave Xing Tian a blank look, and then said, "But although Dad is not good, he has a good son like you. Son, Dad knows that you have suffered a lot when you can do this today!"

After saying that, Xing Yuanshan's smile slowly calmed down, but he showed a hint of guilt again.

His family in the village is poor. Even the Lu Meng family, who is close to Xing Tian, ​​is not rich, but eating meat every day and occasionally eating some elixirs that strengthen bones and body. Unlike their own family, a elixir of bones has already spent all their savings, let alone big fish and meat every day.

"It's all useless, and there's no better conditions for you..." Xing Yuanshan sighed.

"Dad, my family is poor and proud, so what about the delicious food in the brocade. I think there is nothing wrong with our family. Come on, I'm happy today, I'll have a drink with you!" Xing Tian saw that his father was going to blame himself again, but he hurriedly took over the conversation.

The old and the young, with simple food and simple food, and the countryside tiled courtyard was full of fun. After eating and drinking, Xing Yuanshan returned to his room to rest, and Xing Tian also returned to his room and took out the body-tempering pill.

The first-grade body-tempering pill is a pill taken by warriors in the body-tempering stage. However, for warriors who have not yet had the body-tempering, it has the effect of improving their skills. If they are a warrior who is about to quench their body, this body-tempering pill can increase the success rate.

In short, this is a body refining pill that is more precious than the Strong Bone Pill and Small Qi and Blood Pill.

"The pill is divided into nine grades, and the first grade is the lowest. However, no matter how low it is, it is the body-tempering pill, but I don't know how much it is compared with the water in the purple gourd?" Xing Tian looked at the fragrant pill in his hand, and had an idea, but he also took out the purple gourd.

There are most purple water in the gourd. If you pull out the plug, you will also smell like a scent, but it is much lighter than the first-grade body-tempering pill.

And at this moment, something Xing Tian didn't expect happened.

Xing Tian, ​​who was holding the pill in one hand and the purple gourd in the other, felt an extremely slight vibration from the purple gourd. Before Xing Tian could react, he heard an inexplicable suction force from the mouth of the gourd, but he directly sucked the body-tempering pill into the gourd.

"not good!"

Xing Tian was shocked. That level of body-tempering pill was hard-won. If it was melted into the water, it would be troublesome. Maybe a precious pill would be ruined in vain.

Just when he saw it, he felt a chill in his heart. There was no pill in the purple gourd, and the body-tempering pill instantly melted into the purple water.

"How could this happen?" Xing Tian stood there on the spot, but soon he realized that the purple gourd had just sucked in the body-tempering pill by itself, which was simply inexplicable.

Xing Tian knew nothing about the origin of the purple gourd. In Xing Tian’s opinion, he could achieve this kind of achievement today all depends on the purple gourd. However, he didn’t know whether it was good or bad.

At this moment, the purple gourd was still like that, as if what had just happened was Xing Tian's hallucination.

"It's weird, is it so weird? Could it be that this gourd is a living thing? When seeing the body tempering pill, it seems to be delicious food, so I swallowed it directly?" The young man Xing Tian couldn't think of the reason, so he could only think about it randomly. But no matter what, the purple gourd had not changed much, but the precious first-grade body tempering pill fell into the gourd and was integrated into the purple water.

"I don't know if the pill will have any effect after it melts. If not, then I will suffer a great loss!" Sighing, Xing Tian stuffed the plug into the gourd and put away the purple gourd.

If the pill is gone, it will be gone. Xing Tian can only admit that he is unlucky. Fortunately, the purple water in the purple gourd is not much worse than the body-tempering pill. If you keep drinking it like this, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It was already dark, Xing Tian was a little tired, so he lay down and fell asleep.

The next day, Xing Tian got up as usual. After breakfast, his father left, he came back and took out the purple gourd again, preparing to take a sip of purple water and start practicing.

But as soon as he took the gourd, Xing Tian was stunned.

The gourd was much lighter than yesterday. When I picked it up, I saw that the purple water inside was gone. I shook it and found that there was something inside.

He opened the block and turned the gourd downwards, and a pill suddenly fell into Xing Tian's hands.

"Body Tempering Pill?" Looking at the familiar pill in his hand, Xing Tian's mind was a little twitching. If he remembered correctly, the pill should have been integrated into the purple water yesterday. Moreover, before going to bed last night, Xing Tian clearly remembered that there was more than half of the purple water in the gourd. Now the melted pill has been lost and the purple water is gone.

Is there something stranger than this?

But soon, Xing Tian discovered something even more strange. The body-tempering pill in his hand seemed not the same as yesterday.

Some books in Xuewu Hall record it very clearly, "The body quenching pill is mixed with round body, with rough skin, and smells of medicine. It is gray-brown. The higher the quality, the less gray, the more brown it is. The top body quenching pill is brown all over, and the richer the medicinal aroma."

Yesterday's first-grade body-tempering pill was basically a gray pill, which was not eye-catching, but now Xing Tian's palm is gray with a lot of brown color, and the medicine fragrance is stronger. According to what the book says, this body-tempering pill has reached the fourth grade.

The fourth-grade body-tempering pill is a real treasure. Xing Tian knew that any elixir is easy to obtain in the first grade, and the second grade is common. If it is in the third grade, it will be much less. Generally, alchemists can still refine one or two pieces if they perform extremely well. But starting from the fourth grade, they need very advanced alchemists to refine. Generally speaking, only major sects will have such alchemists.

This knowledge was read by Xing Tian from the book, but he also knew that this was a pill that was enough to achieve the fourth-grade body-tempering pill. But the question is, where did this thing come from?

"Is it because of this purple gourd?" Xing Tian thought of a possibility. Yesterday, the gourd went crazy and inhaled the first-grade body-tempering pill. After a night, he upgraded the original first-grade to the fourth-grade.

This is the only possibility.

If this is true, then this is a blessing from heaven. Xing Tian, ​​who was still immersed in surprise just now, felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart after a moment.

The purple gourd can improve the quality of elixirs, which means a lot. The value of any elixir, the first grade and fourth grade, is 100,800 miles apart. Ten and twenty first grade elixirs can’t be exchanged for a fourth grade elixir.

Pressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xing Tian looked at the fourth-grade body-tempering pill in his hand and swallowed the mouth. The fourth-grade body-tempering pill was enough to help him practice the Five Tiger Shaoyang Fist to the ninth level and become a martial artist in the "body-tempering realm". If so, he could pass the martial arts test almost 100%.

"This matter has to be discussed for a long time. When I continue to practice and reach the peak of the eighth level of boxing, I will take this pill again, and the effect will definitely be better!" Thinking of this, Xing Tian put away the body tempering pill, restored his mood, and started practicing in the yard.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Xing Tian still did not feel any relaxation. Every day, except practicing qigong, he would chat with Linglong at noon, calligraphy, painting, piano skills, and casual news and strange things, which were all topics of discussion between the two. And Xu Jiang did not come to cause trouble for Xing Tian again. Not only that, because he won the first place in the martial arts hall, no one despised him anymore. Even Mu Haifeng favored Xing Tian. Sometimes, Xing Tian really thought that such a life was good.

But the old mute who was guarding the martial arts hall has disappeared strangely since she was a child. Lao mute came to Wajin Village a few years ago, with no relatives or friends, and no one knows where he went. However, Xing Tian sighed a little. The old mute is old and can't speak, so where can he go alone?
