The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 115 Elder Hu of the Medicine Garden

The Purple Crested Vermilion Bird instinctively returned to the airspace above Purple Cloud Mountain.

Gazing down at Purple Cloud Mountain from the sky, Lin Yun found the mountain increasingly resembling a risqué picture.

He didn’t elaborate further, but as mentioned before, the mountain originally consisted of twin peaks. With this preconceived idea, Lin Yun naturally imagined what the original profile view might look like, and now, observing from a bird’s-eye view, the Purple Cloud Cave, carved out by the Thunderclap Sword, was situated right in the center of the mountain.

There was also a circular structure on the other mountain.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Lin Yun admitted that there was something a bit off with his thoughts.

Purple Cloud Mountain was actually two mountains. Because of the existence of Purple Cloud Cave, the other mountain was relatively flat, which Shenxiao Sect referred to as the rear mountain.

The one without Purple Cloud Cave was called the front mountain. Since it soared into the clouds, every time there was thunderstorm weather, the Heavenly Thunder Hall at the peak would be baptized by thunder, making it the perfect place to comprehend the Dao of Thunder.

The rear mountain was better suited for living, while the front mountain was more suitable for cultivation.

And on the rear mountain, there was a flat area where Shenxiao Sect’s Medicine Garden was located.

This was one of the Sect’s most important assets, containing not only various common spirit grasses and fruits but also some rare medicinal herbs.

The Purple Crested Vermilion Bird, probably smelling something, flew towards this area.

Zhao Lingyu was also startled to see the Medicine Garden below and, no longer pretending to be frail, she hurriedly shouted, "We can’t go there!"

Even a princess had places she couldn’t mess around with in Shenxiao Sect, and that was the Medicine Garden.

If Big Red only damaged some common herbs, she could afford to compensate, but if it touched any of the rare or one-of-a-kind marvels of the world, all her years of savings might be wiped out.

The moment she saw Big Red ready to romp in the Medicine Garden, Zhao Lingyu felt her soul flee her body.

The disciples guarding the Medicine Garden panicked upon seeing Big Red and hurriedly came out to drive it away.

Big Red looked disdainful. It didn’t fancy these lousy spirit herbs at all!

However, it was interested in a fiery red flower blooming in the courtyard next to the Medicine Garden. There were restrictions in place there, so it couldn’t fly over and could only get close to look.

Zhao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Big Red didn’t intend to land in the Medicine Garden and cause a ruckus, finally saying to the disciples guarding the garden, "Please rest assured, fellow seniors, I will keep Big Red under control and not let it run amok."

Having said that, she had Big Red fly a bit higher.

Lin Yun also looked at the neighboring courtyard, puzzled, "What is that place? Those plants look pretty high-end."

Until now, Lin Yun had never seen plants that glowed, and now he figured that in the Cultivation World, some exotic things should indeed have special effects.

For instance, there was a red Fire Lotus in that courtyard; just looking at it made it seem like a flame was dancing. But upon closer inspection, it was merely the petals being stirred by the breeze, swaying slightly.

"That’s Elder Yu Ling’s courtyard."

Zhao Lingyu was very familiar with Purple Cloud Mountain, and she could have explained more but she remembered she was still cross with Lin Yun, so she only said one sentence.

The air around her clearly broadcasted, "I might be upset but a little coaxing from you will do," yet Lin Yun didn’t try to pacify her.

I am a straight man, after all, I didn’t catch on.

Lin Yun played the role of the straight male disciple very well, focusing entirely on the swaying red lotus.

Now, Zhao Lingyu was truly angry.

I’m such a gentle, adorable, and understanding princess, yet I’m less attractive than a flower?

Zhao Lingyu huffily turned her head away.

I’ve made it so obvious, aren’t you supposed to come and coax me now?

Indeed, Lin Yun asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Oh."

Lin Yun continued to gaze at the flower.

Zhao Lingyu: "..."

Being hasty won’t do; attempting to play such subtle games in front of Lin Yun is futile—he really doesn’t get it!

As Lin Yun admired the scenery with great interest, a woman emerged from the neighboring yard. She glanced up at Big Red and then shifted her gaze to Lin Yun and Zhao Lingyu.

"Ninth Princess, since you’re here, please come down and sit for a while!"

Hu Yuling extended her invitation to the Ninth Princess, and naturally, Lin Yun was also courteously included.

Being a powerful Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, Hu Yuling’s invitation was not one Zhao Lingyu dared decline. She let Big Red find a spacious place to land, and then both she and Lin Yun walked on foot to Hu Yuling’s yard.

This yard spanned over ten acres and was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, none of which were the same.

The air was permeated with a refreshing fragrance, and bees danced among the blossoms, yet it was not at all noisy.

This yard gave Lin Yun his first sense of the tranquil harmony of the Cultivation World.

In the courtyard, there was a small pavilion with a stone table and four stone stools arranged inside.

Hu Yuling was already brewing tea in the pavilion. Upon their arrival, she said indifferently, "Please, have a seat."

With that, she poured tea into two cups for them.

Zhao Lingyu sat down gracefully.

She certainly wasn’t afraid of Hu Yuling. It was known that Elder Yu Ling was stern and unsmiling, not fond of strangers—why would she be in the mood to invite her for tea today?

"Try my Enlightenment Tea!"

"Thank you."

Zhao Lingyu picked up her teacup, used her long sleeve to cover her face, and took a delicate sip, instantly feeling refreshed and invigorated.

It truly was worthy of being an immortal’s beverage.

Lin Yun, lacking in knowledge of such etiquette, also didn’t bother to fake propriety. He had been flying in the sky for quite some time and was quite thirsty; he took a large gulp and almost spat it out.

Astounding!

Boiling water just off the stove should not be drunk—it could scald.

True to its name, the Enlightenment Tea quickly instilled this lesson.

Fortunately, Lin Yun had a degree of cultivation, so even though the tea scalded him, he did not spit it out but instead swallowed it down.

Good heavens, it burned all the way down to his stomach.

Hu Yuling had not expected Lin Yun to be so naively heedless. Seeing his discomfited state, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Her laughter set off ripples.

Although the chill of early spring remained, Hu Yuling was only dressed in a loose, thin garment, which only served as much concealment as it could—apparently, she’d exceeded its limits.

Lin Yun didn’t feel it was right to "watch the ball," even though he was a SP; he maintained the facade of a polite young man and modestly lowered his head.

But still...

Lowering his head slightly still allowed him a glimpse, and in this way, Hu Yuling didn’t notice his line of sight.

Brilliant!

"If you’re thirsty, let me pour you another cup, a cooler one this time!"

Hu Yuling poured another cup for Lin Yun.

As the tea was poured, steam rose, but when Lin Yun lifted the cup to his lips, the tea had already cooled.

She was a master, and Lin Yun had no idea what spell she’d used or when she had cast it.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Elder."

Lin Yun said politely.

"No need for such formality. Once you’ve taken the Sect Master as your master, I will be your Uncle Hu. You can simply call me Uncle Hu."

Zhao Lingyu: "..."

I’ve also taken Elder Fufeng as my master, so why don’t you let me call you ’Uncle’?
