Chapter 1554 - 842: Survival
Lin Feng understood why these days, despite asking around for the location of the Medicine King Pavilion, no one answered. It turned out to be because of the discipleship matter.
It seems they’ve mistaken me for someone attending the Medicine King Pavilion’s test. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, I intended to obtain medicinal herbs. If I become a disciple of the Medicine King Pavilion, I’m sure to receive news about the soul-healing herbs.
Thus, Lin Feng decided to participate in this test, as it’s a rare opportunity for him.
The landscape around the Medicine King Pavilion is extraordinary, almost akin to an Immortal Realm. Although not as impressive as Biyao’s location, it is nonetheless a celestial spot on earth, indicating the Medicine King’s ancestors valued selecting this location greatly.
Lakes are scattered everywhere, with small lakes appearing every few miles. Koi fish swim freely in these small lakes; each fish is equivalent to a Second Grade medicinal herb, and there are some older fish nearly becoming spirits, almost equivalent to Sixth Grade medicinal herbs.
"Indeed, it is a good place, no wonder it’s second only to the Six Great Sects," Lin Feng nodded internally and self-assessed. If not for Star-Gazing Pavilion’s Biyao Holy Land, it might have lost by a margin.
"What does this matter, I’ve heard that within this mountain range, there’s a spot with thousand-year-old ground fire. It’s said that the Medicine King’s most famous Leaving Fire Divine Furnace is there, and supposedly, in another hundred years, this Divine Furnace may turn into a Divine Weapon." Someone overheard Lin Feng mumbling and replied.
Lin Feng looked closely; it was a chubby man with small eyes that appeared quite sneaky, constantly looking around as if restless. Moreover, his cultivation was not simple, surprisingly a cultivator of the Second Spirit Knot.
"Who might this brother be?" Lin Feng asked.
"My name is Tang Sheng." Tang Sheng said directly, scrutinizing Lin Feng: "I initially thought I was the only cultivator of Second Spirit Knot, but didn’t expect another one. But brother, your hidden skills are too supreme, even my Divine Eyes couldn’t see through." Tang Sheng’s eyes emitted a glow, harboring Immortal Spirit Qi.
Immortal Spirit Eye, Lin Feng had seen this type of mystical eye in ancient records, known as the Immortal’s Eye, capable of seeing through anything. Unexpectedly, this short plump man possessed this supernatural power.
"Immortal Spirit Eye," Lin Feng exclaimed.
"Hehe, indeed it’s the Immortal Spirit Eye, but its greatest use isn’t for men, but to look at women." Tang Sheng chuckled, his eyes still darting around, fixated on the surrounding women.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, not expecting the Immortal Spirit Eye to have this purpose; Tang Sheng naturally used it to see through others’ clothes, making anyone in front of Tang the plump man completely exposed.
"Nice, nice, all very nice." Tang the plump man remarked, making Lin Feng ponder that if the ancestors knew this heaven-defying trait in the Immortal Spirit Eye was used by a chubby man to peep at female practitioners, they might slap him to death.
At this moment, the test was finally about to start; an important figure of the Medicine King Pavilion appeared directly—a long-haired Elder—leading everyone to the test site.
The location was a large mountain range, the surrounding peaks standing tall with much grandeur, akin to a gathering of ten thousand dragons, considered a blessed land.
"Everyone here is joining our Medicine King Pavilion test. Our test is simple; every disciple of the Medicine King Pavilion should know alchemy, thus we’ve prepared an atlas recording one hundred twelve kinds of herbs. We hope you can find them; each finding will increase your score by one point. If you find more than sixty points worth, you’ll be able to enter our Pavilion," said the white-haired Elder of the Pavilion.
The white-haired Elder repressed his aura, but Lin Feng heard the chubby man say: "This Elder is not simple; surprisingly a master of the Six Spirit Knot. Rumor has it the Medicine King Pavilion only lacks a Divine Weapon compared to the Six Great Sects, seems true."
Tang Sheng’s Immortal Spirit Eye certainly sees how many Spirit Knots others have unlocked, so even though the white-haired Elder hid well, Tang the plump man saw through it.
Lin Feng was astonished to know that even the Star-Gazing Pavilion’s leader’s cultivation was only the Six Spirit Knot, which is equivalent to the leader’s cultivation.
Upon hearing the Elder’s proclamation, Lin Feng furrowed his brow but soon relaxed; if he can’t find them, wouldn’t he resort to snatching?
"Brother Tang, you possess the Immortal Spirit Eye; why not join the Six Great Sects? With your constitution, even if you enter the Six Great Sects, you should be the most outstanding disciple," Lin Feng asked with some curiosity.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, Tang Sheng’s eyes flickered with an unusual hue: "The Six Great Sects undoubtedly renowned, but I, as a person, have always been eccentric and independent, never liked going there."
Lin Feng felt Tang Sheng was somewhat evasive, but didn’t mind much and continued to wait for the test to begin.
At this moment, books were handed out. Lin Feng looked at the book in his hand and felt more sentimental. The spiritual herbs in this atlas were the most common ones; if it fell into the hands of an ordinary person, it would be enough to make him a good medicinal herb master.
