When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 448 Fugitive Slave
"Master! You will be my only master from now on!"

Before Xiang Xun finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, there was ambiguity, and he was about to be questioned again. However, Li Shun did not find fault with him this time.

He stepped forward and patted the tree trunk. On the crown of the tree, there were numerous fruits, fist-sized and red. Several vines descended, entangled with each other, and became an elevator: "I will rest here tonight and continue on the road tomorrow. Eat the fruits from the trees when you are hungry."

I quickly followed Xiang Xun, climbed up the ladder, and reached the canopy of the tree. I found that the leaves padded each other to form a soft bed.

Li Shun picked a fruit and ate it in one bite: "It's not poisonous."

Xiang Xun, who was imitating his master's behavior, was suddenly stunned. He couldn't swallow the fruit he just took a bite of, nor could he spit it out. Sure enough, this master was unreliable!
Li Shun found a place to lie down on his own and said, "Master, it's time to rest. Please pay attention to the movements around you and warn you in time if there is any danger."

Xiang Xun was speechless: "Master..."

Li Shun turned his back, his attitude obvious.

Xiang Xun sighed helplessly, are all powerful people so casual? Let him, a mortal without cultivation, be on guard?

He angrily took a few bites of the fruit in his hand. After finishing one pill, he noticed something strange in his body. A feeling of heat and numbness spread from his abdomen to his whole body.

"Didn't you say it's not poisonous?"

Xiang Xun panicked and wanted to call Li Shun for help, but found that he was so weak that he even lost control of his tongue.

"It's over. I'm going to die before I embark on the path of cultivating immortality. Is this my fate? She is right, people must learn to accept their fate."

He fell on the leaves, despairing.

However, it didn't take long for him to discover something strange. He was not dead. Although he could not move, he could feel the heat on his body. The heat traveled throughout his body and finally turned into a trickle, converging on his bones, half of his body. It took an hour to gradually subside, and an hour later, the numbness also receded.

He regained his mobility and climbed up from the leaf, feeling relaxed.

"The fruit is really not poisonous. It seems that it can also enhance my physical fitness?"

Xiang Xun glanced at Li Shun excitedly, full of gratitude.

At this time, he really felt hungry in his belly and decided to continue picking fruits to eat. One pill, two pills, three pills... until ten pills later, Xiang Xun sat on the leaves and woke up from the numbness. This time, he no longer felt hungry.

After the third pill, the period of hotness and numbness was significantly shortened. The last one didn't even have half a stick of incense.

He hesitated whether to continue, knowing in his heart that the fruit would have little effect on him.

When the moon was just in the sky, there were a few footsteps coming from under the tree. Xiang Xun quietly looked out and saw three slave children in tattered clothes walking towards the tree in a panic.

"A fugitive slave?"

Xiang Xun originally wanted to wake Li Shun up, but seeing that there were only three slaves, children about the same age as himself, he felt there was no need to disturb the master.

He jumped down from the tree and landed steadily. The fruit improved his physique, allowing him to easily do things that he could not do before.

When the three slave children saw Xiang Xun jumping from the towering tree, they were startled at first and thought they were in danger. When they saw Xiang Xun's face clearly under the moonlight, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

One of the slave children cried, "I knew the Immortal was here!"

Xiang Xun stared at the three people sternly and said, "You dare to run away? Aren't you afraid of death?" He knew these three people. Although they were not from his family, they were also slaves of a wealthy man in the village.

The three of them are considered the leaders among the slave children in the village, especially the child who just spoke, named "Nu Yi", who was trained as the slave leader.

Facing Xiang Xun's indifferent questioning, Nu Yi fully demonstrated his identity as the eldest brother, protected his two younger brothers behind him, and shouted directly: "We are looking for the immortal!"

Xiang Xun said: "Master gave you the opportunity during the day, but you didn't cherish it, and now you regret it. There is no such cheap regret medicine in the world!"

He looked at the three of them warily. How could he share the master's thigh that he finally hugged with others?
The only disciple and one of the disciples, the former is more important!
Nu Yi looked at Xiang Xun, obviously he was just an ordinary person tomorrow, but now he thought that he jumped from the towering tree unscathed, it must be the work of an immortal.

Xiang Xun's questioning made him speechless. During the day, he had no courage when facing the slave master, but at night, regret suddenly came to his heart. He chose to escape, which was not another kind of cowardice.

But, this is their way of survival.

Because he was not sure if it was a trick played by the immortal cultivators to let them see hope and then destroy it.

Didn't his parents, who are no longer alive, believe in the kindness of the immortal cultivators and die full of resentment?
In the eyes of most slaves, slave owners are the ones who oppress them, while cultivators are their salvation.

They would give medicine to treat slaves when they were infected with the plague. They will protect slaves when monsters attack. They would lament the misfortune after the death of a slave.

They are kind and bright, heroes who save the world.

However, Nu Yi knew that the root cause of all these sufferings was the greed of the immortal cultivators!

They are deceiving mortals! Take advantage of mortals! Playing with mortals!
Today, the immortal's words made him unable to calm down for a long time. There was a voice in his heart telling him not to believe it. There are no good people among immortal cultivators. There was also a voice telling him to believe it once. Just this time, he had nothing to lose. of!
So, he chose to escape!
It was a grave sin for a slave to run away. If one person ran away, the whole family would be killed. However, he no longer has a family. The two younger brothers beside him are also orphans.

Therefore, he must fight for himself again no matter what!
Nu Yi walked forward with firm steps and faced Xun, the once aloof little slave owner: "Let us see the immortal!"

Xiang Xun showed no signs of weakness and stepped forward: "If you don't let me, either go back obediently while no one notices, or I will beat you up and send you back!"

Although Nu Yi is young, he has already participated in heavy labor. He is the same age as Xiang Xun, but half a head shorter than him.

Xiang Xun was transformed by the fruit, and his momentum even overwhelmed him.

Slave Yi cannot retreat. To retreat is to die, or life would be worse than death!
The two collided with each other, and after just one encounter, Nu Yi flew backwards, his ribs were broken, and his legs were deformed and twisted.

Xiang Xun was very satisfied with his newfound strength and proudly said to Nu Yi: "You are no match for me!"

Nu Yi reluctantly tried to stand up, but could not stand. Two younger brothers stepped forward to help him up and persuaded: "Brother Yi, let's go back."

Nu Yi pushed the two of them away, fell to the ground again, dragged his body and climbed towards the big tree: "I want to see the immortal! If you want to stop me, you can only kill me!"

Xiang Xun frowned and cursed: "Who are you showing this pitiful look! Master will not sympathize with you!"

After all, Xiang Xun is still young and has some scheming skills, but he still doesn't dare to kill anyone.

At this time, Li Shun had already woken up, standing calmly on the tree and watching what was happening below. When he heard Xiang Xun's words, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He is a master who can stab his apprentice in the back.
