A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 80 Wild Boar Mountain

The old man was chopping wood in the yard. He looked up when he heard the words. He glanced at the oxtail knife on Duan Rong's waist and the chestnut horse behind him, and said, "Sir, please come in!"

As the old man spoke, he stood up and opened the fence gate.

Duan Rong walked in and led the horse into the yard.

The old man went to the kitchen and scooped out a large bucket of water. Duan Rong thanked him, took the bucket, and drank it all in one gulp. He looked up and smiled, "Old man, another bucket."

When the boss saw Duan Rong's smiling face, his guard immediately disappeared. He turned around and scooped out a bucket of water for Duan Rong.

Beside the door of the main hall, there was a dark-skinned little boy hiding, with only half of his face showing. He was looking at Duan Rong drinking like a cow, and grinning foolishly.

Duan Rong drank another bucket of water before he felt satisfied.

The old man saw Duan Rong's face covered in dust and the horse behind him running slowly, so he started a conversation with him, "Sir, where are you going?"

Duan Rong looked up and saw the Wild Boar Mountain, which looked like a giant beast lying down, not far to the east of the village. He said, "Get ready to enter the mountain!"

"you alone?"

Duan Rong smiled. "Alone."

"How can one person enter the Wild Boar Mountain? There are often big insects and black blinds in the mountain. The hunting team that sets traps in the deep mountains will not dare to enter if they have less than 20 people! Young man, I advise you not to be so arrogant!"

Duan Rong smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, old man! It's nothing serious!"

Looking at Duan Rong's expression, you old man could only shake your head.

"Old man, please take care of this horse for a few days! Feed it some tender grass! I'll come and take it away in a few days!"

As Duan Rong spoke, he took out a piece of silver weighing four or five cents and stuffed it into the old man's hand!
When the old man saw the size of the silver, he was stunned and asked, "Why would you need so much?"

"That's all right, old man. Keep it for your child to buy some clothes!"

Duan Rong saw the child hiding by the door. He was naked, had dark skin, and was so thin that his ribs were visible.

This old man had just kindly reminded Duan Rong that there were ferocious beasts in the mountains!

This small amount of silver was just a drop in the ocean for Duan Rong at that moment.

"This..." The old man wanted to refuse. He planted crops for a year, but the harvest was only worth a few cents.

But Duan Rong had already stuffed the reins of the chestnut horse into the old man's hand and turned away...

The old man looked at Duan Rong's back and murmured, "A man who dares to enter Wild Boar Mountain must have some skills!"

As the old man spoke, he led the horse into the cowshed and tied it next to an old yellow cow...

The old man said to Heihai who was hiding behind the door, "Hei Yazi, go out and cut some grass later, and cut some for the horse! Pick some fresh grass to cut, the customer has paid!"

Naturally, there are many ferocious beasts lurking in the deep mountains and old forests of Wild Boar Mountain.

However, Duan Rong went into the mountains alone, not to show off!

A warrior who has reached the first level of Inner Breath Realm is no longer afraid of ferocious beasts. What’s more, Duan Rong also has the Cloud Snake Step!
Wild Boar Mountain has steep mountains, jagged rocks, and ancient pines and cypresses can be seen everywhere!
Duan Rong performed the Cloud Snake Steps and climbed through the mountains like an old ape!
In just half an hour, they crossed a hill. Duan Rong stood next to a low pine tree on the hill. The mountain breeze blew, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back!
He used the Cloud Snake Step continuously, which consumed a lot of energy and he was already sweating.

Below the top of the mountain is a valley surrounded by mountains!

The stream gurgles by and old trees form a forest!

Duan Rong smiled. This was exactly the kind of place he was looking for!
Duan Rong just took a quick breath, then jumped down and went into the old forest!
Duan Rong looked at the old pine tree in front of him, which was so thick that two people could hold it together. It was towering and reaching into the sky. Duan Rong placed his palm on the trunk of the old pine tree. At this time, a squirrel with bright fur jumped out from the high branch. Its pair of black eyes looked at Duan Rong, the uninvited guest in the mountain, curiously!
Duan Rong glanced at the cute squirrel, smiled slightly, then lowered his head and said to himself, "Read the spirit of the device!"

Object: Old pine wood (121 years old)
Weapon spirit level: Level 2.

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 2 (not met).

Devouring effect: Initial intelligence (can slightly increase the host's mental strength).

Duan Rong looked at the data in front of him with flickering eyes.

This is very important data. This tree spirit is of the second level and is one hundred and twenty-one years old. However, a ninety-two-year-old tree spirit has not yet reached the next level.

Although he still couldn't devour a second-level tree, based on the comparison of these two sets of data, there must be a first-level tree spirit between the age of ninety-two and one hundred and twenty-one years!

But he can devour the first-level tree spirit!

Duan Rong suddenly felt full of energy. He jumped in the woods, constantly reading the spirit of the instruments on the old trees.

"Ninety-five years! Not yet in the rank!"

"Ninety-eight years! Not yet in the rank!"

"One hundred and twenty-three years! Level 2!"

……

"One hundred and twenty-nine years! Level 2!"

Duan Rong looked for old trees that were about the same thickness as the 121-year-old tree to read the spirit of the instrument.

Old trees in the mountains grow slowly. If there are obvious differences in thickness, the difference in age will only be greater!
Duan Rong suddenly stopped beside a rock!
His eyes were shining as he looked at the old camphor tree in front of him!
The old camphor wood exudes a faint fragrance, and its mottled bark is like the quiet face of a wise woman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Object: Old camphor wood (103 years old)

Weapon spirit level: first level.

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 1 (satisfied).

Devouring effect: Initial enlightenment (can slightly increase the host's mental strength).

After so much effort, I finally found a first-level spirit weapon, and it does have the effect of increasing mental power, although it is weak.

Duan Rong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart!
Duan Rong compared the data of the 103-year-old camphor wood with the data of the 121-year-old pine wood.

Duan Rong made a preliminary judgment: the tree spirit should be able to awaken to the beginning of its ignorance after a hundred years and become a first-level spirit. And after another twenty years, about one hundred and twenty years, it will begin to develop spiritual intelligence and become a second-level spirit!

Regardless of whether it is a first-level weapon spirit or a second-level weapon spirit, their increase in mental strength is only slight!
Compared with the 300-year-old ginkgo tree that has experienced many years and the 1,200-year-old mulberry tree that has gone through many changes, the first and second level tree spirits are still very weak, equivalent to the infancy stage.

His mental strength can finally grow. Even a slight increase is still an increase!

Duan Rong's eyes were bright as he said, "Devouring the weapon spirit!"

What's the big deal about a slight increase? At worst, he can just live in the mountains, be a mountain dweller, and eat every day!
After devouring the spirit of the old camphor tree in front of him, Duan Rong was slightly surprised. This was also a first-level spirit, but the discomfort in his brain that he had felt after devouring the spirit before did not happen!
Duan Rong doesn't think this is a good phenomenon!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Changes that occur for no reason usually mean that something has happened!
Duan Rong deliberately drank some water beside the stream, and also observed his reaction after swallowing the tree spirit!
The results were the same, how can I put it? It was completely normal, just like I hadn't swallowed it!
"But... there doesn't seem to be any adverse reactions?"

In that case, try swallowing more!
Duan Rong suddenly jumped out like a ghost and jumped in the woods!
