Chapter 9: A Chance to Escape

After a brief thought, Ji Yin took out a booklet from his bosom and threw it to Song Wen.

"This is the spiritual medicine cultivation experience summarized by the master. Take it back and read it carefully. From today on, the spiritual field in the east will be your responsibility. As long as you can manage it well, the whole spiritual field will be handed over to you in half a month. At that time, the master will give you great benefits."

The spiritual field in the west is planted with red arrows and dahlias, which are auxiliary medicines for refining Qi and Blood Pills. They can be found in the deep mountains of Yancheng and are not precious.

Ji Yin is relieved to give it to Song Wen to try.

As for the benefits promised by Ji Yin, it was just a kind of deception. In his opinion, letting Song Wen live two more years is a great gift.

"Thank you, Master. I will do my best to cultivate and live up to your expectations."

Song Wen took the booklet and said respectfully.

Song Wen took two books and went out of the second floor. He took the job of planting spiritual herbs. He couldn't judge whether it was good or bad.

"Try hard to plant the spiritual herbs well. Maybe this will delay the time for me to test the medicine."

Song Wen muttered in his heart.

After returning to the room, Song Wen first read the notebook of Ji Yin's planting experience. Ji Yin only planted eight kinds of spiritual herbs in total, all of which were needed for refining Qi and Blood Pills.

Then he flipped through the "Detailed Explanation of Low-level Spiritual Herb Planting", found all the eight kinds of spiritual herbs planted by Ji Yin, and then matched them one by one, silently thinking about the method of planting spiritual herbs in his heart.

After having a certain theoretical foundation in his mind, Song Wen came to the medicine field in the east.

This medicine field is not big, about half an acre.

Ji Yin took good care of the spiritual field, divided it into ridges, and sparsely planted thirty red arrows and dahlias.

Song Wen carefully checked the spiritual field and pulled out a small amount of weeds.

He checked the spiritual medicines one by one, numbered them, and recorded them in the book. He also made a detailed record of the growth and watering of each spiritual medicine.

Ten days later, Ji Yin, who had seen all this, handed over the entire medicine field to Song Wen to take care of.

Ji Yin himself was in seclusion again, and he was going to refine the Qi and Blood Pill again.

After repeatedly telling Song Wen to take good care of Chi Xue Teng, Ji Yin entered the alchemy cave and closed the stone door of the cave.

Chi Xue Teng is the main raw material for refining Qi and Blood Pills, and it is also the most difficult spiritual medicine to find. In order to find Chi Xue Teng, he used the power of the Tiansha Gang and almost searched through most of the country before finding such a fifty-year-old Chi Xue Teng. Every time he refined medicine, he only dared to take a few branches, for fear of affecting the growth of Chi Xue Teng.

From Er Niu, he learned that Ji Yin needed more than ten days to refine the pill every time he was in seclusion. Song Wen became excited and felt that the opportunity to escape was coming.

Song Wen calmly walked into a small wooden house in the medicinal field, where the farm tools needed to grow spiritual medicine were placed.

Song Wen searched in the wooden house, trying to find some tools that could help him escape. As a result, after searching around, Song Wen did not find anything useful except common farm tools.

However, he found a 20-centimeter-long dagger.

There was a leather scabbard on the dagger. After removing the scabbard, the dagger was black in color, and the blade was sharp and cold, which was breathtaking.

"Good knife!"

Song Wen exclaimed in his heart, he gripped the hilt tightly and chopped at a piece of wood in the wooden house.

Suddenly, the inch-thick wooden stick broke with a sound.

Song Wen's eyes were shining. This dagger was definitely a top-grade magic weapon and a good self-defense weapon.

Song Wen inserted the dagger into the scabbard and put it into his boots.

After searching in the wooden house again, Song Wen carried the hoe and left the wooden house after finding nothing else.

While cultivating in the spiritual field, he looked at the alchemy cave and the cliff to the west from time to time.

The lowest part of the cliff is more than ten meters, and the highest part is more than twenty meters. It is bare as a whole, without any trees or weeds growing, but there are a lot of wet mosses.

However, there are too many mosses, which obviously increases the difficulty of climbing.

Song Wen thought about using tools to go up the mountain, but he did not find any usable ropes in the entire courtyard. If he cut wood to make a ladder, it seems difficult to avoid the attention of the guards and Erniu.

"Do you want to cooperate with Erniu and Zhang Cheng? But I'm not sure what they think in their hearts. Judging from their respect for Jiyin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade the two of them, and I may expose myself."

It was not easy to wait until Jiyin was in seclusion and had a chance to escape, but he was trapped by the terrain and could not escape. Song Wen became a little impatient.

The hoe in his hand was unstable, and he did not dig up the weeds, but almost dug up a spiritual medicine.

Song Wen woke up and realized that his behavior today was a bit rash.

Those who accomplish great things must have enough patience.

After calming down, Song Wen began to take care of the spiritual field seriously.

That night.

Song Wen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He got off the bed, tiptoed to open the door, and went outside.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and everything was silent.

Song Wen stared at the cliff and fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that this cliff of more than ten meters would become his escape.

In a trance, Song Wen saw that there seemed to be a flickering fire on the top of the mountain.

"Is there anyone on the mountain?"

Song Wen was surprised and looked carefully. There was indeed a cluster of fire on the top of the mountain that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"Is there a member of the Tiansha Gang stationed on the top of the mountain?"

Song Wen seemed to have discovered another piece of information that was unfavorable to him.

After thinking about it carefully, there should be a Tiansha Gang stationed on the top of the mountain.

The Tiansha Gang has built the entire territory as solid as a rock. They even built a low-profile version of the city wall on the periphery and guarded it with heavy troops. There is no reason for them not to take any precautions against this mountain.

Setting up a sentry post on the top of the mountain is also conducive to monitoring the movements of the entire Yancheng. In case a large army encircles the Tiansha Gang, it can not only provide timely information to the Tiansha Gang, but also serve as a retreat for the Tiansha Gang.

Thinking of this, Song Wen completely rejected his plan to escape from the back mountain. With his current strength that is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, it is absolutely possible to pass through the blockade of the well-trained gang members in the Tiansha Gang in the mountains, not to mention that there are many martial arts masters among them.

Song Wen returned to the room somewhat discouraged. He stopped sleeping and began to practice.

Only by accumulating enough strength can it be possible to escape from the Tiansha Gang.

In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

As Song Wen continued to practice hard day and night, his cultivation had quietly reached the middle stage of the first level of Qi training.

On this day, Song Wen, who was working in the medicinal field, suddenly saw the stone door of the alchemy cave open, and Ji Yin walked out of the cave with a triumphant look.

Song Wen's face changed slightly, and he was filled with uneasiness.

"It seems that a new round of drug testing is about to begin, but I don't know who will be the one doing the drug testing this time, and whether I will be dragged in for the drug testing."
