Chapter 26: A Favor from Sect Leader Zhong
Three days later, after familiarizing himself with the general situation of Huangfeng Valley, Lin Yue returned to the council hall once again.
The main hall still only had Sect Leader Zhong present.
"Disciple greets Sect Leader, Senior Uncle."
Upon seeing this, Lin Yue quickly bowed respectfully.
"Are you all familiar with your apprentices?"
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Zhong smiled kindly and inquired,
"This disciple is already familiar with it, thank you, Sect Leader Uncle."
"That's good. Do you have a chosen task? Although you have good spiritual root aptitude and a special physique, the origin of your physique is unknown, so you still need to complete sect tasks to obtain spirit stones."
Sect Leader Zhong asked with some regret.
In Huangfeng Valley or the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, only Qi Refining stage disciples with Heavenly Spiritual Root, Extraordinary Spiritual Root, or special physique are exempt from completing sect tasks. Other Qi Refining stage disciples with different spiritual root attributes are required to complete tasks.
These Qi Refining stage disciples have a rather nice-sounding name: Steward Disciple.
Above the Deacon Disciple are not the Foundation Establishment Disciples, but those who have taken Foundation Establishment Pills but have not yet reached the peak of their basic cultivation techniques: Consul Disciples.
These two types of disciples make up eight or nine tenths of the entire Yellow Maple Valley, while there are only a few hundred Foundation Establishment stage disciples and only seven or eight Core Formation stage cultivators.
As for Nascent Soul cultivators, there is naturally only that Old Ancestor Linghu.
This is a key reason why Huangfeng Valley's overall strength ranks among the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom.
"Uncle Master Qi, I have made my choice. Years ago, I studied medicine with a doctor in the secular world and have a decent understanding of medicinal herbs, so I wish to enter the Hundred Herbs Garden."
Lin Yue naturally chose the place he was most familiar with, so that when Han Li came to Huangfeng Valley after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he could hand it over to Han Li.
This is the best place to obtain medicinal herb seeds and seedlings.
"I never imagined you would know medicine and pharmacology in Brother Ma's herb garden. Well, although Brother Ma has a somewhat eccentric personality, if you can manage the herbs in his garden well, he will certainly treat you well."
After hearing Lin Yue's words, Sect Leader Zhong was surprised, but after a moment's thought, he nodded and smiled.
"Yes! This disciple understands. Thank you for the reminder, Master Uncle."
Lin Yue bowed and thanked him.
"it is good."
"However, there's something I need to tell you first, lest you let it slip."
As Sect Leader Zhong nodded, he suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Please, Master Uncle, give your instructions. This disciple will certainly obey."
Seeing this, Lin Yue was surprised, but he still obediently agreed.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's related to the Foundation Establishment Pill I gave you earlier. Remember, you didn't receive the Foundation Establishment Pill until you reached the eleventh or twelfth level of Qi Refining, then you could come here to collect it."
The smile on the face of Sect Leader Zhong of Huangfeng Valley faded slightly, and he whispered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue glanced at Sect Leader Zhong with a slightly surprised look, then immediately understood the meaning behind his words and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Master Uncle. I understand and will absolutely not tell anyone."
This one rule alone is enough to avoid a lot of trouble, no wonder Sect Leader Zhong is so respected by the disciples of Huangfeng Valley.
This can be considered a favor.
"Well, I'm glad you understand. Then I won't say anything more."
"It just so happens that I haven't seen Senior Brother Ma in a long time, so I'll take you to meet him. He has a slightly eccentric personality, so please don't mind it."
Sect Leader Zhong smiled kindly and reminded him again.
"Yes, disciple understands."
Lin Yue nodded.
Afterwards, Sect Leader Zhong led Lin Yue away from the council hall, and the two of them rode their respective magical artifacts toward the Hundred Herbs Garden.
"Huh, I didn't expect you to have mastered this Azure Leaf magic artifact in just two or three days. Not bad."
Sect Leader Zhong looked at Lin Yue, who was able to fly steadily and follow him closely, and said with some surprise.
"I was just lucky."
Lin Yue gently shook his head and smiled.
"Um!"
Seeing this, Sect Leader Zhong naturally said no more and continued to lead the way.
Before long, the two landed in a small basin between two hills.
It was the Hundred Herbs Garden, but its owner had placed some minor restrictions on it to prevent outsiders from entering.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Zhong took out a jade tablet and shone it forward. Immediately, a green light shot out from the tablet and flew into the restriction.
Then, a dry, monotone voice rang out.
"Sect Leader, how come you have time to bring your disciples here? Could it be another descendant of your blood relatives?"
The owner of the voice had a slightly mocking tone, showing no respect whatsoever for Sect Leader Zhong.
Sect Leader Zhong seemed to be used to it all along, his smile remaining unchanged as he stared at the dissipating restrictions in front of him.
After the restrictions dissipated and a path appeared, Lin Yue followed Sect Leader Zhong to a courtyard with a plaque that read "Hundred Herbs Garden." The courtyard was quite large, covering several acres.
Upon entering the courtyard, one sees several thatched huts built of dry grass and bamboo in the center of the garden, surrounded by neatly arranged square plots of land divided by ditches.
Each plot of land was lush and green, planted with many herbs that Lin Yue was familiar with or unfamiliar with, as well as some strangely shaped plants, making the whole garden full of spiritual energy. Even cultivators felt extremely comfortable after taking a deep breath.
Then, a thin, short old man emerged from the house. He looked to be about fifty years old, with a thin, yellowish mustache and a pair of cloudy eyes that darted around. At first glance, he really looked like a giant, humanoid rat that had come to life.
"Sect Leader, who is this person? His cultivation level is rather low! Could he really be one of your juniors?"
Old Ma stared at Lin Yue with a furrowed brow and asked.
"Senior Brother Ma, this is a disciple who joined the sect a few days ago with the Ascension Token. His spiritual root aptitude is quite good. He has also learned some pharmacology in the mortal world, so I brought him here to see if he can help you manage the affairs of the herb garden."
"For you to bring him here personally, his spiritual root aptitude must be quite impressive. Alright! For your sake, I'll let him give it a try."
"If he can recognize even one-tenth of the medicinal herbs in this garden, I'll let him keep them. If he can't, don't say I'm not giving you face."
Old Ma curled his lip, not caring much about Zhong Ling, the sect leader.
After all, he was one of the few alchemy masters in Huangfeng Valley, and his status was no less than that of Zhong Ling, the sect leader.
"Alright, Junior Nephew Lin, go and give it a try. Even if you can't do it, it's okay. There are plenty of easy tasks in the sect. I'll find one for you when the time comes."
Zhong Ling patted Lin Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Your disciple obeys."
Seeing this, Lin Yue immediately bowed to the two of them, and then strode towards the herb garden. His confident expression made Old Man Ma's eyes light up.
"interesting."
