After being dressed as green tea cannon fodder, I captured the hero

"You want to go down the mountain to participate in the alchemist assessment?" Qiu Yanjun frowned slightly, "But you said it yourself, there is still half a year left, why are you going down the mountain so early?"

Jiang He had never really participated in the alchemist assessment, and his second-rank alchemist title was due to an accident.

Gu Jian is a double-cultivator of sword and alchemy, the former majors in the latter as a minor, in fact he does not practice much alchemy, and now he is only a fourth-rank alchemist, but this fourth-rank alchemist is still the title of nearly a hundred years ago.

It can be seen from this that the ancient sword alchemy technique is actually not weak.

When Jiang He was 13 years old, Gu Jian had a friend who came to the Wuji Sword Sect as a guest. His friend was a sixth-grade alchemist, not only the vice president of the alchemist association, but also a well-known name in the entire Chinese world. Alchemist.

At that time, Jiang He had just learned to refine the Sanyuan Pill, and that day he refined a Sanyuan Pill that was different in appearance from the past, so he ran to Gu Jian to ask. Jiang He is a genius, and he actually refined the top grade Sanyuan Pill.

It is important to know that the success rate of top-grade pills is extremely low, not even one pill can be produced out of thousands of pills. Although Sanyuan pills are only low-grade pills, the effectiveness of top-grade low-grade pills can reach that of middle-grade pills!

It was also at that time that Gu Jian's friend directly asserted that Jiang He's level of alchemy was comparable to that of a second-rank alchemist, and he was a well-deserved genius.

Gu Jian planned to take Jiang He to participate in the alchemist assessment that year, but because of what his friend said, he didn't go, because his friend was also a member of the assessment judges, and when he said this, he directly admitted that Jiang He had a second-rank alchemist Strength.

Now Jiang He is almost sixteen, counting the time, it is indeed time to go down the mountain to participate in the assessment.

But going down the mountain half a year in advance is not suitable after all.

Qiu Yanjun felt that it was inappropriate, but Jiang He had no reason to do so. He explained, "Aunt Jun, I went down the mountain half a year early because I wanted to go to the Sunset Forest."

"No!" This time, Qiu Yanjun's refusal came faster and more directly than before. Almost as soon as Jiang He's voice fell, she vetoed sharply, "The Sunset Forest is the boundary between the demons and the humans, and there are spirit beasts everywhere. Warcraft, there must be demons, it's too dangerous for you to go there."

Of course Jiang He knew the danger, so he brought Gu Xingge here today. Gu Xingge is half-demon and half-celestial body. The half of the demon in his body is the blood of the devil king, and the other half of the god is the blood of the divine beast and phoenix. You have to bow your head in front of him.

But he definitely can't tell Qiu Yanjun about this, and he has to go to Sunset Forest.

Rolling his eyes, Jiang He explained, "Aunt Jun, I went to the Sunset Forest for a reason. I broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment a while ago, but you also know that the higher the cultivation level of an alchemist, the harder it is to break through. My cultivation level has increased. But the art of alchemy still needs to be honed, there are many spiritual herbs in the setting sun forest, and the environment is suitable, only there can I concentrate on alchemy."

"That won't work either!" Qiu Yan-jun waved her hand, as if there was no room for negotiation, "You can go directly to the medicine hall to get any spiritual herbs you want. There are no medicine halls, and there are many spiritual herbs in the back mountain of Zongli. There is no you in the back mountain. Tell me, I'll help you find it, the Sunset Forest is so dangerous, how many monks who hunt monsters and spirit beasts to collect spirit grass die in it every year, many of them are Nascent Soul Stage monks, you dare to go there even in the Foundation Establishment Stage!? "

Jiang He was also stubborn, chest straightened, and directly confronted Qiu Yanjun, "What's wrong with the foundation building period! I'm still a genius of the Wuji Sword Sect during the foundation building period! Besides, I don't go inside, just wander around on the outer layer. With so many life-saving magic weapons, it is impossible to die in the outer layer!"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Hearing the word "death", Qiu Yanjun hurriedly bawled a few times, she was really angry, she wanted to teach Jiang He a lesson, and she was afraid that it would really hurt him, so in the end she could only look at his head Knocked twice, "Jiang He, let me tell you, if you continue to talk about dying or not dying, I will tell you to taste my whip!"

"Wrong, wrong." Jiang He regretted those words as soon as he uttered them. Anyway, he has always been shameless in front of Qiu Yanjun and Gu Jian and the elders, and he is easy to play coquettishly.

The last second was tough, and the next second he was cowardly. He grabbed Qiu Yanjun's hand and smiled flatteringly, "Aunt Jun, I know you are worried about me, but I can't possibly live my whole life between you and Master. Under the wings of my family, this Chinese world is so big, I have to go out and venture out by myself, and I can only live better if I stand tall enough, do you think it makes sense?"

Qiu Yanjun wanted to say why he couldn't protect you for the rest of his life, but he fell silent after meeting Jiang He's serious eyes.

She reached out and touched the young boy's white and tender face, and the thousand words finally turned into a sigh. After all, she has experienced so many people, how can she not understand the truth in Jiang He's words.

If she can, she really wants to protect Jiang He for the rest of her life, but the world of cultivation is ever-changing, and there are many people with higher cultivation bases than her. She can protect Jiang He for a while, but she really can't protect her for a lifetime. She can only live in Wenxiang Only when the birds fight against the blue sky can they turn into eagles and show off their pride.

Seeds that have not experienced wind and rain cannot bloom beautiful flowers in the end.

Jiang He has been observing Qiu Yanjun's face, and seeing her expression loosen, he took the opportunity to add to the fire, "Aunt Jun, you have to believe me, I said only stay on the outer layer, just stay on the outer layer, I Let Gu Xingge go with me, he is also strong in building foundations now, and can take care of me, even if I am in danger, I still have the life-saving magic weapon that you and the master left for me."

"If I don't go to the Sunset Forest to experience it, I will have no idea about the alchemist qualification examination in half a year. I will be fine. And..."

Jiang He paused, then continued, "And my goal has never been a third-rank alchemist, Aunt Jun, I want to stand higher, even higher than the current Wuji Sword Sect, only in this way can I protect myself Someone who wants to protect."

Gu Xingge's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at Jiang He's back, his heart felt itchy and numb as if something had brushed against it.

He didn't know if the person Jiang He wanted to protect was him, and he also knew that there was never only one person Jiang He wanted to protect, but he actually hoped at this moment that he would be one of the people Jiang He wanted to protect.

He thinks he should be, Jiang He likes him so much, he wants to take him to Sunset Forest, it must be because he doesn't want to be separated from him, so he should be the person Jiang He wants to protect.

So... is he really one of the people Jiang He wants to protect?

Qiu Yanjun couldn't persuade Jiang He, and she didn't want to persuade him anymore, especially the last sentence of Jiang He's words, which really touched her heart. She understood the pain of not being able to protect the one she loves. This pain is over. It has been a hundred years, and it is still tormenting her to this day.

She didn't want Jiang He to live in such pain in the future.

Holding the little boy into his arms, Qiu Yanjun rubbed his head and said, "Even so, let's go, we just happened to be on the way, and I will escort you to the entrance of the Sunset Forest."
