Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 3 became a concept god.

"Is this the habitat of soul beasts? It looks no different from an ordinary mountain range, except that it is a bit larger."

Standing on the outskirts of the Jingyang Mountains, Lin Nuo gazed at the vast primeval forest in the distance, intending to rest for a while.

He walked all the way from a small town on the southern coast of the Sun Moon Empire, a journey that took him more than two months.

The main reason is that he often ventures into deep mountains and forests, and spends a lot of time searching for medicinal herbs.

The fact that one's soul power increased by two levels in two months is the best proof of this.

After two months of arduous travel, Lin Nuo was quite exhausted and didn't want to directly enter the Jingyang Mountains to compete with the soul beasts for medicinal herbs. More importantly, he was almost nauseous from eating medicinal herbs for a month straight.

Even if there are no side effects, the medicinal herbs will still taste the same as they do.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter. Since it's already medicine, how good can you expect it to taste?

"Perhaps this is the price to pay for becoming stronger. Please let me bear more of this pain." Lin Nuo ate the spicy soft-boned rabbit head and prayed fervently in his heart.

Its pointed head gleamed in the sunlight.

……

Jingyang Mountain Range is a top-tier resource point for the Sun Moon Empire, not only because it is where most Soul Masters obtain Soul Rings, but also because it possesses vast reserves of rare metal ore veins.

The Jingyang Mountains, with their rich ecosystem, naturally also have no shortage of medicinal herbs.

[You are entering the Jingyang Mountains 500 meters ahead. Soul beasts may be present. Proceed with caution.]

Looking at the road sign standing by the roadside, Lin Nuo did not hesitate and resolutely walked into the area.

He currently only has a level 5 cultivation, which is even less than Huo Yuhao when he first started out. The god-slayer Feng Feifei, who brought Huo Yuhao to the brink of death, can also send him to reincarnation again.

Therefore, he must not venture deep into the Jingyang Mountains.

If he encounters a soul beast that is ten or a hundred years old, he will still have a chance to escape.

But if he encounters a thousand-year-old soul beast, he has no chance of turning into soul beast excrement.

He knew that coming to the gathering place of soul beasts alone was tantamount to courting death, but he really had no other choice. Without medicine, he was just a Blue Silver Grass martial soul and a lung mist with half-level innate soul power.

With such talent, no one would invest in him; he can't even manage a steady training regimen.

Lin Nuo had tried it. Relying solely on meditation, it would take him at least ten months to level up at his current stage. If he didn't give it his all, he might as well give up on being a Soul Master. Farming would be more promising than cultivation.

No choice...

Before even entering the Jingyang Mountains, Lin Nuo was on high alert; he didn't want to die before he even got started.

In a place where any random soul beast could treat him like a cookie and eat him without a second thought, one has to be extra careful if they don't want to die.

Lin Nuo's vigilance was not in vain. He had only walked less than thirty meters when he encountered the first soul beast he had ever met in his life.

He didn't recognize the spirit beast, nor did he know its age or abilities. He could only tell from its appearance that it was a sheep-type spirit beast, very wary, and probably like Lin Nuo, a weakling at the bottom of the food chain.

But he's definitely stronger than Lin Nuo, so he doesn't plan to provoke him.

Without alerting the other party, Lin Nuo quietly left. With this sheep-spirit beast around, there were definitely no high-value medicinal herbs nearby; they must have all been eaten by it.

Therefore, Lin Nuo needs to find a new location. Three days later.

"Tough luck."

Lin Nuo remained expressionless, but the anger in his heart burned fiercely.

He forgot one thing: sheep are social animals, even after they become spirit beasts. In the past three days, he has encountered unfamiliar sheep spirit beasts wherever he goes.

In contrast, there are virtually no medicinal herbs in the surrounding area.

Even if there were any, they would be low in nutritional value and poisonous herbs that would do more harm than good to normal living beings. For the past three days, Lin Nuo had been eating the leftovers from these sheep-like soul beasts.

Damn it, he was born!

"Today, we're having roasted whole lamb."

Lin Nuo, whose kindness was gradually awakened, eventually set his sights on these sheep-spirit beasts.

After three days of observation, Lin Nuo had gained a rudimentary understanding and could roughly determine the age of these sheep-spirit beasts.

It's actually quite simple: just look at the horns on their heads. If they have white horns, they are ten-year-old soul beasts, while hundred-year-old soul beasts have yellow horns and are much larger.

As for the specific number of years, Lin Nuo only knew that the longer the horn, the longer the number of years, but he couldn't tell exactly how many years it was.

The lamb to the slaughter that Lin Nuo had identified as his target was a small, two-horned, ten-year-old soul beast.

"If I can't deal with your clan leader, surely I can handle a little Karami like you?"

Since you won't share your medicine with me, don't blame me for eating you all!
To avenge the theft of food, Lin Nuo's intelligence was also exceptionally displayed. He first used a medicinal herb he found to make a nest, and then, while the lamb was happily eating its medicine, he launched a fatal attack from the tree!
The dagger tied to the wooden stick sank completely into the lamb's neck, and blood gushed out. After a while, a white soul ring condensed on the lamb's corpse.

"A ten-year-old soul beast, easily taken down!" Lin Nuo chuckled, then grabbed the lamb leg and dragged it away from the scene of the crime.

The smell of blood would easily attract wild beasts, so he needed to find a river to deal with the sheep, otherwise he risked losing both the sheep and the man.

The result was that dragging the sheep away almost used up all his soul power. The body of a six-year-old child was still too weak. Even with the help of soul power, dragging a sheep that weighed almost the same as himself was still too strenuous.

"My physique is still too weak. I need to improve it. This will not only enhance my combat power but also allow me to absorb higher-age spirit rings."

Lin Nuo soaked the sheep in the river water, cutting the meat with a dagger while pondering another question.

Ultimately, it's because we're too poor.

The Medicine-Inducing Body makes his body almost drug-resistant. No matter how much medicine he takes, his body can absorb 100% of the drug's effects, and the positive effects of the medicine are even amplified and absorbed by the Medicine-Inducing Body.

If he had some powerful backing, he wouldn't be struggling like this, fighting with spirit beasts for medicinal herbs in the deep mountains and forests.

Cultivation is not easy, Arnold sighed.

But after he finished processing the sheep, roasted a leg of lamb, and started eating, Lin Nuo froze on the spot after just the first bite.

The warmth in his stomach made him forget the satisfaction of eating meat again, because this warmth usually only appeared when he took medicine.

This means that mutton has also been identified as a 'medicine'!

But then again, who says that food supplements aren't supplements?

In traditional Chinese medicine, it seems that anything can be used as medicine, whether it's for enhancing male virility or tonifying the kidneys; everything can be used as medicine!
Goodness, Arnold has become a conceptual god this time!
