"What are you thinking?"

At this time, Xu Dong looked at Zhou Rui and asked, "Do you hate me in your heart? Why didn't you take action?"

Hearing this, Zhou Rui trembled and shook his head, "I, I don't dare!"

Xu Dong's eyes were fixed on Zhou Rui and he said in a deep voice, "You dare not say it, but you must be thinking so in your heart."

Zhou Rui didn't know what to say. He was silent for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I know that Brother Xu is no match for Chen Yan. Even if he takes action, he can't beat him, so I don't have any resentment towards you in my heart."

Xu Dong said calmly, "What if I tell you that Chen Yan is not my opponent?"

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, not understanding what Xu Dong meant by this.

Xu Dong shook his head, with a hint of anger in his words.

"If you had just taken action and fought for your own dignity, I would never stand idly by."

"It's a pity that you didn't."

"Zhou Rui, have you noticed that you rely too much on the strength of others?"

"Whenever I encounter any trouble, I always think about finding someone to help me solve it. I never really think about solving it myself."

Hearing this, Zhou Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But, Brother Xu, I am only at the early stage of the Talent Realm, and I am no match for Chen Yan."

"You are indeed no match for him."

Xu Dong said lightly, "But after you were humiliated, did you have a heart for revenge? Have you ever thought about practicing hard, advancing to the wilderness as soon as possible, and regaining the lost face?"

Zhou Rui was silent.

To be honest, he never thought that one day he would be able to defeat Chen Yan.

This person is in the middle stage of the wilderness. How can I, a small character, challenge him at will?

"Zhou Rui."

Xu Dong took a deep look at Zhou Rui and said sincerely, "I miss you and I want to talk to you. There are some things that I want to explain clearly to you. There are some truths that I hope you can understand."

"In this life, people are dependent on mountains and rivers, and they are dependent on water and water. Any external force is unreliable."

"In the end, all you can rely on is your own strength."

<

br> "When you become stronger, others will not dare to provoke you anymore."

"It doesn't matter if you bow your head for a moment, but you must turn your grief and anger into motivation."

"The reason why I didn't take action just now is because I hope you can feel this humiliation and understand this truth."

Hearing these words, Zhou Rui's face showed a hint of complexity.

He was silent for a while, then he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xu, I have kept in mind what you just said."

"Then what do you do?" Xu Dong asked.

"I have to practice hard, and sooner or later, I will get my face back!"

Zhou Rui snorted coldly and clenched his fists slightly.

"good."

Xu Dong smiled, then stepped forward and patted Zhou Rui on the shoulder, "I hope that one day, you can rely on your own strength to gain a firm foothold in the inner gate."

"I will!"

Zhou Rui nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Bin on the side had a flash of doubt in his eyes, but it was more complicated.

He has now understood that Xu Liang and Zhou Rui seem to have Xu Liang in a dominant position.

Could it be that...that elixir was refined by Xu Liang?

Otherwise, why would Zhou Rui rather kneel down than reveal his identity as an alchemist?

This is contrary to common sense!

Zhou Bin felt more and more like this, but it was hard to ask.

"Okay, let's go and visit the market first."

Xu Dong shook his head and said nothing more.

The three of them continued on the road and soon arrived at the city.

The location of Fangshi is a huge square with many temporary stalls.

Of course, these so-called stalls are just tables, very simple.

This is also understandable,

After all, these disciples are not traders, they are just here temporarily.

When Xu Dong arrived here, he found that it was extremely crowded with people coming and going.

Zhou Rui had returned to his usual expression and said respectfully to Xu Dong, "Brother Xu, this city is also divided into many areas. This is the magic weapon area, and that is the Lingcao area. Let's go to Lingcao."

Let’s take a look!”

He has already mastered a lot of information in advance.

"good."

Xu Dong nodded.

He has no shortage of magic weapons, and now he is looking for some precious spiritual herbs, refining elixirs, and advancing to the middle stage of the wilderness.

Immediately, the three of them walked towards the Lingcao area.

Although Zhou Rui had gathered a lot of information, this was his first time in Fangshi.

Looking at the dazzling array of spiritual grasses, his eyes shone brightly and his whole body trembled.

"Oh my God, this is Asparagus!"

"This is the albizia flower!"

"This is Fu Linzi."

As he walked around, he marveled again and again.

Xu Dong glanced over, but he didn't find what he needed. Occasionally, there were a few elixirs on the elixirs, which had been collected by Zhou Rui.

"It seems that this city is not that good either!"

"If you can't find it again, you have to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

Xu Dong touched his chin and thought secretly.

The group of people continued to wander around, and after about a cup of tea, the number of people increased, and almost the entire square was filled.

Many disciples have gained something, either getting their favorite spiritual weapon or getting the spiritual herb they need, and everyone is happy.

"Um?"

At this time, Xu Dong suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

He frowned and looked not far away, and saw a stall in front of him. It was a middle-aged monk, holding a spiritual grass in his hand and placing it on the table.

The spiritual grass is very magical, its whole body is golden in color, and it looks like it is made of fairy gold.

>

Moreover, it also exudes a strong fragrance.

This made many disciples forget the past.

Xu Dong strode over with a smile on his lips.

Yes, yes, I finally saw a useful spiritual grass.

He quickly came to the stall, lowered his eyes and saw that this spiritual grass was only the size of a palm, but its medicinal power was extremely high. It was a golden grass.

"It's actually Tianjincao."

"Hiss... this kind of spiritual grass is rare!"

In addition to Xu Dong, the others also noticed what was going on here and gathered around them one after another.

"pity……"

At this time, Xu Dong frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Rui asked strangely, "Brother Xu, isn't this the medicinal material on your list to collect? What's the pity?"

Xu Dong shook his head, "It's a pity that the monk didn't know how to pick the golden grass. When he took it out, he destroyed its rhizome. Even though there was only a trace, the efficacy of the medicine would be greatly reduced."

"That's it!" Zhou Rui frowned, "Then can you use it?"

"It can barely be used as medicine!"
