I, beat the Eastern Swordsman at the beginning

Chapter 24 Encountering a Mysterious Man
Ye Feixian estimated the time it took for him to fall into the abyss. Judging by the speed of his fall, this place may be thousands of feet deep. For practitioners of the Houtian realm, this place is indeed like a moat. Once trapped, there will be no chance to escape.

After falling to the bottom, he followed the rocky path and identified the direction according to the stream flowing down from a high place. As for the top of his head, he had long been shrouded in a thick crimson fog, and the whole area was drowsy.

However, after walking for a long time, Ye Feixian suddenly felt that there should be frequent activities of people here, otherwise the surrounding rocks would not be so round, and even some difficult places seemed to have been manually carved, making it much easier.

"Could it be that this place is a secret passage, and disciples of the five schools often come here?"

This kind of thought only flashed in Ye Feixian's mind, and he quickly threw it to the back of his mind. After all, a huge rock appeared in front of him, and there were sword marks all over it. The sword intent in it can still remain after an unknown period of time the world.

After admiring it for a long time, Ye Feixian looked around, but there was not even a bird or mosquito nearby, let alone a living person.

Gradually, the sound of the stream flowing in his ears became louder. He took a puddle of clear water, tasted it, and drank it with his head buried.

"Ah... cool!"

After more than a dozen breaths, Ye Feixian laughed up to the sky, completely unaware of where he was, and not worried about whether he could complete the five trials.

It seems that as long as it is here, all complicated thoughts will completely fade away, leaving only the purest thoughts.

"Clap clap-"

Suddenly, abnormally loud applause appeared behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a tall middle-aged man in coarse clothes walking towards him, with a warm smile on his face.

"Dare to ask senior is..."

"The old man is just a countryman. If you don't understand these common etiquettes, don't be polite, my little friend."

Helping Ye Feixian up with both hands, the middle-aged man looked at him with admiration for a long time, until the latter felt uncomfortable, and then said:
"You are the first person who can drink so much Geng water and still call it sweet."

"Geng water?"

Glancing at the creek not far away, Ye Feixian's eyes were full of puzzlement.

Aren't these just ordinary mountain streams?
"That's right, this is an extremely precious spring water, so precious that many people in the world don't know its true function, let alone its name."

"Senior, don't be a secret, just say it."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man took another look at Ye Feixian, then nodded and said:
"Gengshui, as the name suggests, contains the Qi of Gengjin."

"This kind of power is full of tyranny. Ordinary people will be cut if they touch it, let alone swallow it."

"Boy, you are very special, and the old man doesn't understand how you did it."

Ye Feixian has been silent.

He felt that this stranger was suspected of lying. After all, the stream was just plain water, so how could it be as scary as he said?
If you are a strong person in the realm of heaven and man, you can also distinguish the truth of the other party's words by yourself.

But he is just a rookie who has just entered the practice world and has not even joined the sect. How can he tell whether this guy is lying?
"Senior, I don't know anything about Gengshui. I just want to get out of here so that I can complete the five trials."

After a long silence, Ye Feixian gave a slight salute to the middle-aged man, and then said:
"If the senior knows the way to leave, please let me know. The junior will be grateful."

"Little guy, don't rush away, I guarantee that you can pass the five trials successfully, but you have to stay and do me a little favor!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feixian was determined, so he asked curiously:
"Dare to ask senior, what do I need to do?"

"You help the old man make some containers that can hold Geng water, not many, just three pots are enough."

After all, the middle-aged man got a few thick bamboo joints from somewhere, and one joint can hold the amount of water that an ordinary person needs for three days.

Putting these sundries in front of Ye Feixian, the middle-aged man said:

"Pour Geng water into these bamboo joints, and if it won't lose its efficacy within a day, the old man will send you away."

"Okay, hurry up."

Seeing him leaving these things behind, Ye Feixian cut off a bamboo tube:
"Isn't it just to fill water? What's so difficult about it?"

In less than ten breaths, he filled three buckets full of stream water, and couldn't help drinking a few more sips during the period, feeling extremely refreshed.

Unknowingly, three hours had passed, and the middle-aged man had gone and returned, but there were a few more hares in his hands. After seeing Ye Feixian, he threw them all out:

"Boy, don't try to fool around, the old man has a way to check."

"You pour the water from the bamboo tube over these beasts."

Helpless, Ye Feixian did as he did, and nothing strange happened in the end. He couldn't help but give the middle-aged man a look: "Senior, it's a good thing that you have leisure and elegance, so don't entertain me like this."

"Hmph, I'm not joking with you!"

With a heavy snort, the middle-aged man said:
"Once Gengshui leaves the place where it originally existed, the Qi of Gengjin in it will dissipate into nothingness."

"The old man has thought of countless ways, but he still can't complete it, even if he can swallow it like you."

As if to make Ye Feixian believe in him, the middle-aged man walked to the side of the creek and stretched his right palm in. Immediately, streams of bright red blood burst out and quickly flowed to Ye Feixian's side.

Withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, the wound on his palm healed quickly, only heard him say:

"see that?"

"Every sentence of this old man is true. If you have a way to retain the Gengjin Qi in it, you can choose this Gengshui, and this old man will send you out."

After recovering, Ye Feixian's face was full of bitterness.

After he accepted this reality, he knew that this person was not lying, but he only had less than seven days left.

How can he succeed in something that the other party has not done for many years?
"Senior, can you let me go first? After completing the five trials, I will keep my promise and help you solve your worries."

"Hmph! It's a good idea."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man snorted heavily, and then said:
"In all these years, the old man has encountered young people who have spoken like you more than once, but after they went out, they never came back."

"Uh……"

Now it was Ye Feixian's turn to be embarrassed. After a long time, he put his fingers together and raised them above his head, with a serious expression on his face:

"I, Ye Feixian, swear to God."

"If you successfully complete the five trials and worship one of the sects, after the trivial matters are over, you will definitely return to this place to help seniors solve their troubles. If not, there will be five thunderbolts!"

In the dark, there was a faint connection between Ye Feixian and the middle-aged man. The latter nodded in satisfaction and said, "My little friend is so generous, and I can't be stingy."

"Then I will give you a chance, I hope you can treat it well..."
