Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 2
Not long after, Su Chen found an ancient book under the table where he usually ate.
He flipped open the first page of the ancient book, and there were a few large golden words on it– Hundred Herbs Diagram!
He flipped to the second page.
This was a picture of a plant. There were three fat leaves on this plant, and they looked like the leaves of a tung tree. The stem was densely covered with green thorns.
On the right side of the picture was a string of words:
[Herb: Bone Forging Herb, tier 1 herb]
[Effect: Forge stronger bones and tendons, increasing strength]
[Optimal maturity: 50 years, and when it reaches maturity, it will have the effect of increasing vitality. It will grow five leaves at maturity.]
This was the introduction of the Bone Forging Herb given by the system.
At this moment, Su Chen thought to himself, ‘This Bone Forging Herb would be matured in 50 years! If I use the system, I’ll be able to age it to its optimum age in just one day! Moreover, this herb can strengthen my physique and increase my strength!”
He suppressed the urge to immediately go forward and mature the Bone Forging Herb.
Su Chen continued to flip through the pages. He wanted to see if there were any herbs that could allow him to sense Qi.
As time passed, Su Chen gradually stopped flipping the book.
His eyes focused as he saw that a herb was completely dark green in color, with a few thin and long leaves growing in a mess.
On the right side of the picture, there were a few words as usual.
[Herb: Meridian Unblocking Herb, tier 2 herb]
[Effect: Helps sense Qi, widens meridians]
[Optimal maturity: After 180 years, reaching the optimal maturity, the number of leaves will reach nine. At maturity, the effect will increase significantly.]
“This is the herb I need! As long as I have the Meridian Unblocking Herb, I can regain my ability to sense Qi.”
“As long as I can cultivate Qi, my cultivation speed will definitely increase by a lot.”
It was a pity that he did not have this tier 2 herb.
At this moment, the Go game had reached its final stage. Although it was a game against Su Chen, there was still a winner to be decided.
Su Chen played the last piece. It was a white piece to win the game.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of what the two Alchemy Hall disciples said in the morning.
There was an eccentric elder that resides in the Pill Peak medicinal garden, and he had the tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb.
Also, just because the disciple tried to take an extra herb, he was hit in the chest and sent flying out of the medicinal garden.
If Su Chen went to ask for one… He definitely would not be able to get it.
How can I get this Meridian Unblocking Herb or its seed from the eccentric elder?
Su Chen fell into deep thought.
Oh, right, he had the Herb Modification System.
He could modify the herbs needed by the eccentric elder. What about striking a deal with him?
Su Chen thought carefully about the conversation between the two Alchemy Hall disciples. There was no information about what herbs the eccentric elder needed.
With this in mind, he closed the Hundred Herbs Diagram. Su Chen walked out of his herb garden and rushed to the Pill Peak.
Along the way, he met many outer court disciples of the Pure Yang sect. Among them were disciples who entered the Pure Yang sect at the same time as him.
They were all at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refinement realm.
Su Chen was quite famous in the Pure Yang sect. Of course, he was known as a piece of trash. He had entered the sect for five years, and was almost 18 years old, but he still could not sense any Qi.
One had to know that in the Pure Yang sect, those who did not have any Qi at the age of 18, or had no improvement in their cultivation, would be expelled from the sect.
Ever since Su Chen arrived at the medicinal garden, no one had treated him as a disciple of the Pure Yang sect. At most, he was just a handyman that tended to the herb garden.
On the way, those who saw Su Chen acted as if he did not exist.
Su Chen was not surprised at all. After all, in this world, only the strong were respected.
A moment later, he arrived at the medicinal garden on the Pill Peak. He raised his head and looked. Here, the mountains were clear and the water was flowing.
Above the medicinal garden, there was a pure white mist.
However, that was not mist. It was formed from extremely pure spiritual energy. The medicinal garden was full of spiritual energy.
Su Chen could not help but think of his own medicinal garden. Why did the previous elder build the medicinal garden in that place?
It seemed that this eccentric elder was good at managing this medicinal garden!
Then, Su Chen started to observe the medicinal garden. After looking for a while, he did not see anyone in it. He could not help but knock on the wooden door of the medicinal garden.
He did not expect the wooden door to open with a clang.
Su Chen looked around to look for the eccentric elder. If this elder was not here, then he would go and pick some of this tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb!
No!
If the size of the Meridian Unblocking Herb was too large, he would be easily discovered. It would be better to take the Meridian Unblocking Herb seeds instead.
He could modify herbs, so it would not matter. At worst, he would return the herbs to the elder in the future.
Thinking of this, he walked into the medicinal garden.
In the medicinal garden, there was a large field of herbs, and these herbs were full of vitality. A small stream slowly flowed by the side of the field. Then, two haystacks that were as tall as a person and an exquisite wooden house appeared in his eyes.
Su Chen walked to the front of the small house, and he observed it carefully. He confirmed that the eccentric elder was not around.
Just as Su Chen was preparing to search for the Meridian Unblocking Herb seeds, he heard vague footsteps approaching the medicinal garden.
He immediately thought that the eccentric elder had returned, and was was immediately frightened.
If this eccentric elder knew that he entered the medicinal garden to steal seeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately went into the haystack beside the hut and hid.
Just after Su Chen hid, he heard a person walking into the medicinal garden. The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Su Chen was in the haystack. A sense of nervousness swept through his mind.
I must not let him discover me!
Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately held his breath and did not make a sound for fear of being discovered.
The sound of the footsteps stopped in front of the hut. Then, Su Chen heard this person walking towards the herbal field.
After a flurry of footsteps, Su Chen felt the footsteps getting further and further away.
After a moment, after confirming that he had walked far away, Su Chen slowly poked his head out from the haystack.
From afar, he could vaguely see the back of a person wearing a white robe.
There was a word on that robe… He could faintly see the word ‘Liu’!
“This isn’t the eccentric elder! This man actually looks a little like the Alchemy Hall’s elder Liu! At this moment, the Pill Peak’s medicinal garden was unguarded. Why is Alchemy Hall’s elder Liu here? Could it be that he was here to steal medicinal herbs? Damn. I can’t clearly see if it is really elder Liu.”
However, just as Su Chen was looking at the medicinal field, he saw that there was indeed a missing herb, as though it had just been plucked!
If people found out that there were missing herbs, and Su Chen happened to be here, then it would be hard for him to explain himself.
Su Chen did not have time to think about it now.
He quickly left this troublesome place and returned to the medicinal garden of Tempered Spirit Peak..
