Chapter 19: Opening a Herb Garden
Xiao Yuhui held a paper umbrella, squatting down to shield Feng Shi from the pouring rain.
Feng Shi smiled. His lips were somewhat dry and cracked, and the smile tore open a cut, dyeing his lips red and moist.
“Senior Brother.”
Xiao Yuhui handed over a handkerchief and also smiled: “Junior Brother, Master told me to pick you up.”
Hearing this, Feng Shi’s back, which had been straight all along, went soft, but his eyes were sparkling: “Really? Senior Brother?”
Xiao Yuhui smiled and patted his head, then extended a hand to him: “When has Senior Brother ever lied to you?”
Feng Shi handed his hand over and was pulled up by the other party with a force.
Qingqing’s voice sounded at the right time: ćCongratulations Host for completing the Sprint Mission!
Now distributing mission rewards:
Reward Content:
- 1000 Points
- Luck Value increased by 5%
- Alchemy Genius First Appearanceć
Feng Shi chose to ignore these rewards for now, although they sounded quite good.
having knelt for several days, even though he was already at Foundation Establishment, his legs were inevitably uncomfortable, sore and swollen. He needed someone to support him to walk.
“Really troubled Senior Brother…” In the silence, Feng Shi said politely.
The rain pattered, and a low laugh from Xiao Yuhui came to his ears.
Feng Shi tilted his head in confusion: “What are you laughing at, Senior Brother?”
Xiao Yuhui held the umbrella with one hand and held Feng Shi’s arm with the other: “I’m laughing at you. One trip to the outer sect, and your whole person has changed.”
ćXiao Yuhui Favorability +2ć
ćSystem Warning: Please maintain the persona in others’ hearts, Host, and wait for OOC authority to open. Otherwise, punishment mechanism will be entered.ć
Feng Shi’s face stiffened, and he laughed dryly twice: “Is that so? Haha, maybe it’s because no one in the outer sect gave way to me.”
He said this as an explanation, but didn’t expect Xiao Yuhui to misunderstand. The other party frowned with thick eyebrows and stopped walking: “What, did someone in the outer sect bully you?”
Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “No. With my cultivation, people in the outer sect couldn’t do anything to me. It’s just me; in this year in the outer sect, I really recognized my mistakes. Next time I won’t trust others easily again.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhui’s expression softened, and he comforted him: “Don’t think too much in the future. Since Master called you back, it means he has forgiven you.”
Feng Shi nodded: “En! Understood, Senior Brother!”
Accompanying each other back to Yihe Peak, the continuous drizzle had already stopped halfway. Now the clouds opened and rain ceased; Yihe Peak was covered in hazy white mist, with white cranes occasionally shuttling throughātruly a breathtaking scenery.
Feng Shi didn’t have the original host’s memories and hadn’t seen much of the world, so he couldn’t help but stop to take a few more looks.
Yihe Peak wasn’t big. Even when four people lived there before, they didn’t occupy much space. The entire peak was steep and towering, with only a towering ancient tree standing out huge and eye-catching.
And beside this tree was Shen Songhe’s residence.
“Master is in seclusion these few days. Junior Brother can go again in a few days. Second Junior Brother also went out for training and shouldn’t be back for a few months. You don’t have to fear him.”
“Okay, many thanks, Senior Brother.”
Bidding farewell to Xiao Yuhui, Feng Shi arrived at the original host’s original residence under the System’s guidance.
Because no one had lived in or cleaned it for over a year, this small courtyard appeared messy and dirty. Feng Shi was a bit tired and really in no mood to clean, and the range of the cleaning talisman was too small.
Helpless, he could only take out spiritual herbs from his account to exchange with the spirit beasts on the mountain.
The spirit beasts who took his spiritual herbs bustled about in the courtyard, while Feng Shi himself crossed his legs, basking in the sun for a nap while enjoying the massage service of two rabbits.
By the time the cleaning was done, the sun had almost set.
Feng Shi looked at the various spirit beasts standing in rows in front of him, patted their heads one by one, and praised: “Not bad, not bad, cleaned quite thoroughly. Next time there’s work, I’ll hire you again.”
The groundhog leader hugged the spiritual herb and nodded frantically.
They were all the weakest spirit beasts on this mountain top and rarely found good food. getting so many spiritual herbs at once this time, they were naturally very happy.
Sending away the spirit beasts, Feng Shi yawned and returned to his room.
Clicking open the System account, today’s reward had arrived.
Old rule, for things unclear, Feng Shi clicked on the details.
ćLuck Value increased by 5%: Tool man luck increased by 5%, cultivation relaxed and one step ahead of others! (Click to upgrade quickly)ć
ćAlchemy Genius First Appearance: An alchemy genius not yet fully excavated. After full excavation, can master pharmacology and pill recipes. Can start alchemy now (Click to purchase items, or jump to recharge page to reach the sky in a single bound)ć
Feng Shi: Recharging is impossible, but alchemy is indeed something I can touch upon. Since the cheat is given, there’s no reason not to use it.
Thinking this, Feng Shi clicked on Purchase Items.
ćWelcome to the Shopping Mall~ Dear, if you fancy this model, you can place an order. We ship immediately from stock~ No return if unsatisfied~ć
ćLink… You can also check out the following products. If you like them, take them all away~ć
Feng Shi: “…”
Truly a familiar formula.
He glanced at the products on this page.
A painfully flashy purple gilded pill furnace, with four dragon heads protruding from the opening, each holding a jade bead in its mouth.
Price…
Feng Shi sucked in a cold breath, his hand quickly clicking the page closed.
Damn it, six hundred thousand points!
Even killing him wouldn’t get that much!
Feng Shi had to give up the idea of buying things in the mall, preparing to see if he could get a second-hand one from Xiao Yuhui. After all, the other party also practiced alchemy; he should have quite a few furnaces.
ćHost has opened ‘Alchemy Genius First Appearance’. Now hurry up and try taking out the previously collected spiritual herb seeds to repair them~ć Qingqing suddenly jumped out and reminded.
Feng Shi was somewhat pleasantly surprised: “Can I do it now? It actually has this use?”
Qingqing replied: ćYes, Host. The Alchemy Genius function covers a lot. As the Host slowly excavates and works hard to improve, it’s also a good advantage.ć
Feng Shi hurriedly poured out the seeds hoarded in his account. Several large bags full of all kinds of seeds, but most were shriveled, having lost spiritual energy and vitality.
“I also asked Jin He to store a lot over there. If all can be repaired, wouldn’t it be awesome!”
Feng Shi’s abacus clattered loudly. He immediately called back the group of spirit beasts from just now, preparing to open up a few herb fields around the courtyard.
The spirit beasts, who had just eaten and drunk their fill, heard there were more spiritual herbs to eat and came over without a second word, huffing and puffing as they worked with hoes and rakes bigger than their own bodies.
Feng Shi focused on studying the seeds in his hand.
Several days later, Feng Shi went out carrying a small pocket of seeds, looking exhausted.
He had thought too beautifully.
Current him lacked ability; many seeds were ruined. But fortunately, he managed to get this bag. Regardless of how perfect the appearance was, at least they could be planted.
Relying on the herb planting skills learned in the outer sect, Feng Shi finished sowing the seeds before dark.
Chongshan Sect was rich in spiritual energy; spiritual herbs grew much faster than in the outer sect. When Feng Shi went out to look again the next day, the spiritual herbs had actually sprouted.
Those few small spirit beasts that had been lingering around his courtyard these few days were standing by and watching eagerly.
