Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 8
At this time, Su Chen was perfecting the plan in his mind.
First, he went to look for Elder Liu of the Alchemy Hall. Of course, he still needed to make some preparations before he went to look for the elder.
Su Chen took out the Three Elemental Powder formula and carefully followed it. He started to concoct the Three Elemental Powder.
After several failures, Su Chen finally concocted two sets of Three Elemental Powder. Everything was ready, and he simply packed up.
Su Chen headed straight for the Alchemy Hall.
On his way there, he met the two Alchemy Hall disciples who came to the medicinal garden to collect medicine a few days ago. Su Chen ignored them and walked straight past them.
One of them had a keen sense and seemed to have noticed that Su Chen was different from before. “Eh? This Su Chen…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Maybe it’s just an illusion. I just felt that Su Chen’s cultivation level had increased quite a bit.”
“Hahahaha, it must be an illusion. You’ve been cultivating too diligently recently, so much so that you’re hallucinating.”
…
Su Chen did not know about the discussions behind him. At this moment, he had already arrived outside the Alchemy Hall.
The person on duty was a young outer sect disciple wearing a plain-colored long robe. Su Chen glanced at his outer sect senior brother who was sitting upright and looking straight ahead. He walked forward and coughed lightly. “Senior brother, I’m here to look for Elder Liu.”
“Oh, eh? You are… Su Chen.” This outer sect senior brother glanced at Su Chen and seemed to have recovered from his reverie. His eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Su Chen was somewhat puzzled. This senior brother looked very familiar, but from memory, he could not recall such a person.
“Oh, no problem. Elder Liu is refining pills in the high-grade alchemy room today. He should be coming out soon.” After saying this, the outer sect executive disciple no longer looked at Su Chen.
The outer sect disciple knew Su Chen because just two days ago, Elder Wang’s branch of the Alchemy Hall had secretly discussed a matter regarding Su Chen.
A few days ago, when Elder Wang came back from his investigation at night, he announced an important piece of news to his branch of the clan. At the same time, he solemnly requested for it to be kept a secret. When he thought of Elder Wang’s expression at that time, his entire body trembled.
Hidden below Su Chen’s dilapidated medicinal was an upper-grade spirit vein!
When this news came out, the Wang clan’s branch of the clan immediately went into an uproar. Possessing an upper-grade spirit vein had too many benefits.
Not only would one be able to build a pill refining room after obtaining this upper-grade spirit vein, one would also be able to cultivate medicinal herbs on top of the spirit vein. Through guidance, the medicinal herbs would grow even more vigorously. One would also be able to cultivate faster on top of the spirit vein.
The Alchemy Hall was situated on top of a middle-grade spirit vein. The elders of the sect had even used their divine abilities to draw spiritual energy into the ground, establishing many pill refining rooms.
In the Central Plains, the quality of the spirit vein was divided from low to high, which were the low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. High-grade spirit veins were rare.
The Wang family was waiting, waiting for their own genius to come out of seclusion. He was ranked 11th on the outer sect’s prodigy list, and is at the peak of the ninth stage of the Qi Refinement realm, Wang Yucheng.
It would not be easy to attract the attention of the higher-ups to have the juniors seize control of Su Chen’s medicinal field.
This was a spiritual vein that was related to the rise of their Wang clan, so they naturally had to be extremely cautious.
At this moment, Su Chen was waiting in the great hall of the Alchemy Hall. He could not rashly go directly to the pill refining room to look for Elder Liu. If he were to directly enter the pill refining room and reveal his purpose, Elder Liu would definitely not spare him.
However, in this place where disciples came and went, Elder Liu did not dare to openly make a move against him.
Just as Su Chen was bored to death… An old man walked out of the high-grade pill refining room with a face full of joy.
Su Chen recognized this old man from his body size. He was Elder Liu.
Therefore, Su Chen went forward and cupped his hands slightly. “Greetings, Elder Liu. This disciple has something important to discuss.”
At this moment, Elder Liu was also slightly stunned.
“Oh? What is it?”
At this moment, Su Chen went forward and whispered into Elder Liu’s ear, “A few days ago, at the Pill Peak’s medicinal garden…”
After hearing what Su Chen said, Elder Liu’s expression turned cold, and his aura suddenly erupted as he glared at Su Chen.
‘How did this brat know that I went to the Pill Peak’s medicinal garden to steal herbs a few days ago!? At that time, I should have been very careful and not been discovered by anyone.’
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly felt a pressure assaulting him, but his expression was calm as he looked around.
Elder Liu’s expression was gloomy at this moment, and killing intent flashed through his eyes. After all, it was difficult for him to explain if he killed a sect disciple in front of everyone.
Then, he retracted his aura and stared at Su Chen.
After Su Chen sensed the change in Elder Liu’s aura, he slowly said, “Elder Liu, don’t be anxious. I just want you to accompany me to the Pill Peak medicinal garden to get some herb seeds.”
When Elder Liu heard Su Chen’s conditions, he thought to himself, ‘Is it that simple? This time, I will comply with his demands. Obtaining some seeds was not a difficult matter. This brat has something on me. I must find an opportunity to get rid of it so as to prevent future trouble.
Elder Liu weighed his options and said, “Let’s go. I’ll accompany you on this trip. This is the only time.”
Hearing this, Su Chen naturally knew that Elder Liu was scheming in his heart.
With a calm expression, he said, “Thank you, Elder Liu.”
After saying this, Su Chen led the way in front. He naturally chose the path to the Pill peak medicinal garden that was more crowded with people.
Along the way, Elder Liu did not say much and just followed Su Chen.
After arriving at the entrance of the Pill Peak medicinal garden, Su Chen made an inviting gesture. Seeing this, Elder Liu did not say anything and walked in.
At this moment, Elder Lee was in the medicinal garden.
When he saw Elder Liu, he wanted to greet him, but when he saw Su Chen behind him, his expression turned slightly cold as he coldly snorted, “Hmph.”
He thought that Su Chen had leaked the news and that he had violated the sect’s rules by picking healing medicines, and that he brought Elder Liu here to threaten him.
When Elder Liu saw Elder Lee’s cold attitude towards him, he also suspected that Su Chen had already revealed that he had stolen medicinal herbs.
His expression was slightly awkward.
However, he still had to be polite. “Elder Lee, how have you been? I have come this time to ask for some herb seeds for this young man.”
When he heard this, Elder Lee was slightly stunned.
He thought to himself, ‘Isn’t he here to denounce me? This brat didn’t mention this to anyone?’
“I do have quite a few herb seeds here.” After saying this, he shot a meaningful glance at Su Chen.
At this moment, Su Chen was listening to the conversation between the two elders. He suddenly took out a Three Elemental Powder and handed it to Elder Lee.
Then, he glanced at Elder Liu beside him and said, “Elder Lee, I left in a hurry last time. This is a pill that can speed up the circulation of inner breath. It’s good for cultivation!”
Seeing Su Chen’s hint, Elder Lee was furious. However, since Elder Liu was here, he could act rashly. He took the pill and examined it carefully.
At this moment, when Elder Liu heard that Su Chen had a pill that could speed up the circulation of his inner breath, he could not help but feel a little curious.
Just as he was considering whether he ask about it, Su Chen took out another Three Elemental Powder and said to Elder Liu, “I have another one here. Elder Liu, do you want to try it?”
After saying that, he shot a meaningful glance at Elder Liu.
At this moment, Elder Liu suddenly felt that something was not quite right. If this was a pill that could speed up the circulation of his inner breath, why would Su Chen use Elder Lee to threaten him?
If I did not eat the pill, would he tell Elder Liu about the matter of me stealing the herbs? what kind of tricks is this kid playing again? However, a mere sixth stage Body Refinement realm medicinal pill, even if it was poison, it wouldn’t be able to harm me.
After that, with a calm expression, he took the Three Elemental Powder and swallowed it.
After Elder Lee studied the medicinal pill for a while, he felt that there was not any problem. After all, he was the number one alchemist in the Tianluo Kingdom. If there was something wrong with the medicinal pill, he would definitely be able to see it at a glance. Moreover, Elder Liu already consumed the pill.
Elder Lee pondered for a moment longer before he also consumed the Three Elemental Powder.
