Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 110 - 101 Medicine Garden [Second Release, Please Subscribe!]

The little man's thoughts were transparent, and after a brief moment of surprise, Wang Yuan was overjoyed, seeing this as an opportunity. He watched carefully for a few days, and after thorough consideration, he finally went to pay a visit.

"Having been at Silver Horn Mountain for a few days, I've yet to see the Medicine Garden. If Steward Wang isn't busy, perhaps you could show Lu Qingfeng around," Lu Qingfeng said to Wang Yuan.

"The sect has decreed that the Silver Horn Mountain Medicine Garden is now Elder Lu's property. From now on, I am under the elder, and you can simply call me Wang Yuan."

"Elder Lu, this way, please."

Wang Yuan, humble and demonstrating his loyalty, led the way.

Lu Qingfeng followed behind, seeing through Wang Yuan's thoughts but not pointing them out.

As a newcomer to Luoxia Sect, having a deacon like Wang Yuan, who had been mingling in the sect for many years, come to his side was somewhat helpful. Trivial matters wouldn't need his attention anymore.

However, as for what kind of person Wang Yuan was, that remained to be seen in the future. If he proved worthy of cultivation, Lu Qingfeng would not treat him unfairly.

...

"The Medicine Garden here is not big, and most of it grows materials for refining intermediate and low-level elixirs. This section is more precious, containing materials needed for refining advanced and top-level elixirs."

"However, the most valuable is this center section, the Spirit Medicine Area. It contains four kinds of First-Rank Spiritual Medicines, which, even if slightly flawed, would result in accountability from the sect. They are the main ingredients for refining top-level elixirs and can also act as auxiliary medicines for some entry-level Spirit Pills."

Wang Yuan led Lu Qingfeng through the Medicine Garden, giving a general introduction.

Although small, the garden was well-equipped, divided into several areas.

Lu Qingfeng took a quick look, from the materials for refining low-level elixir like Yellow Dragon Pills and Fasting Pills to First-Rank Spirit Medicines for top-level elixirs like Qi Condensing Pills and Qi Gathering Pills; the variety was complete.

If cultivated with care, it could meet some of Lu Qingfeng's needs.

However, he had to provide for the cultivation of three untalented disciples, and their need for elixirs was immense; the Medicine Garden alone was not enough.

Lu Qingfeng was already at the Sixth Level of the True Qi Realm, and he also needed to prepare for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although it was a First-Rank Spirit Pill, the main ingredients were Third-Rank Spirit Medicine and several Second-Rank Spiritual Medicines, which he couldn't find in the garden.

He would need to find other means.

While Wang Yuan was introducing the Medicine Garden to Lu Qingfeng, there were disciples in gray clothes coming and going inside the garden.

Carrying water, fertilizing, weeding...

Each had their own task.

"These are disciples who have newly joined the sect and have taken on tasks in the Medicine Garden. Most stay for a year or two before moving on."

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's interest in the few busy disciples in the garden, Wang Yuan explained, and then called out to them, "This person here is Elder Lu; come and greet him quickly."

"Greetings to Elder Lu."

Most of the disciples taking on tasks in the Medicine Garden didn't have any connections. Hearing from Steward Wang that this young man was an elder, they hurried over to pay their respects.

"Go on with your tasks."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, showing little concern for these formalities.

"Disperse."

Seeing the disciples looking at him, Wang Yuan hastily said.

After taking a round through the Medicine Garden and having a rough idea, Lu Qingfeng looked at Wang Yuan, who was following him closely, and said with a smile, "Steward Wang need not be so formal; there will undoubtedly be many matters in the future that will require your help."

"Just command me, Elder Lu!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan was actually pleased.

The more trouble involved, the more it indicated familiarity. If this Elder Lu, who seemed to be affable, was well served, he would surely not be short of benefits.

Lu Qingfeng continued to walk forward, asking as he walked, "Lu intends to refine some elixirs, but the grade of the medicinal materials in the Medicine Garden is mostly insufficient. Does Steward Wang know how one might acquire a large quantity of Spiritual Medicines?"

Qing Shan and Qingyu had been enduring their hardships in Crying Swamp for more than seven years, and once they advanced to the True Qi Realm, obtaining high-level elixir required for cultivation was easy.

But Lu Qingfeng was already at the Sixth Layer of the True Qi Realm, and the effect of advanced elixir pills on him was minimal; only top-level elixir pills could greatly assist him. Moreover, he also needed to reserve top-level elixir pills for the future stages of cultivation for Qing Shan and Qingyu.

And top-level elixir pills now require the use of spiritual medicine.

To refine in large quantities, spiritual medicine is indispensable.

Additionally, Lu Qingfeng was about to reach the late-stage of the True Qi Realm, so the Foundation Establishment Pill and other elixir pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage also needed to be refined. The demand for spiritual medicine was even greater. He must find a way to collect spiritual medicine as soon as possible.

"Grade not high enough? A massive quantity of spiritual medicine?"

Wang Yuan was shocked.

The entire Silver Horn Mountain Medicine Garden, with all its mature and immature spiritual medicine combined, did not exceed twenty plants, and all of them were First Rank Spiritual Medicine. Hearing Elder Lu mentioning a massive quantity of spiritual medicine, Wang Yuan was somewhat astonished by Lu Qingfeng's request.

"Does he need a massive quantity of spiritual medicine because Elder Lu is also an Entry-level Alchemist?"

Wang Yuan knew of Elder Lulu's identity but was unaware that Elder Lu was also an Alchemist and Artifact Refiner.

Further, with Lu Qingfeng possessing a Concealing Technique strengthened to a super-level, even Spirit Void Stage Cultivators could not see through his cultivation, let alone the mere True Qi Realm's Wang Yuan.

With thoughts racing, Wang Yuan hurriedly replied, "Elder Lu is a Guest Elder of our sect, if you need any spiritual medicine just let the sect know, and the sect will help collect it for you. However, these spiritual medicines are not for free, if it's common spiritual medicine, the sect's Medicine Garden can produce it, or the sect can obtain it from external purchases, and the Elder only needs to pay with corresponding Spirit Stones."

"If it's rare spiritual medicine, it is usually collected through missions issued by the sect, completed by disciples or elders, with a certain reward. Elder Lu can set these rewards himself, or entrust the sect to do so, and pays an equivalent amount in Spirit Stones or elixir pills."

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Wang Yuan explained in detail, and Lu Qingfeng understood clearly.

"Indeed!"

"The benefits of being in a sect compared to a Loose Cultivator are numerous!"

Lu Qingfeng was delighted in his heart, feeling that joining the Luoxia Sect was the right step.

If he were alone outside, he might still be looking for a place to stay and gathering information about his surroundings. Then, he would have to search for markets for Loose Cultivators to purchase various types of spiritual medicine himself, and afterward possibly facing a myriad of troubles like theft, ambush, and the like.

How leisurely he was now!

Lu Qingfeng turned his head to look at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan appeared to be in his thirties or forties but given that he had turned into a Deacon, he must be over forty years of age. His cultivation might be lacking, only at the Eighth Layer of the True Qi Realm, but he had been cultivating for many years in the Luoxia Sect and, serving as the Deacon of Silver Horn Mountain Medicine Garden, dealing with all sorts of people, he was tactful in handling affairs, which quite suited Lu Qingfeng's needs.

"In the future, staying on Silver Horn Mountain for a long time, amidst practice, and leisure, if I also needed to handle many practical matters myself, it would inevitably be troublesome."

Lu Qingfeng pondered quietly in his heart.

Wang Yuan, seeing Lu Qingfeng staring at him and unsure of the reason, quickly straightened his back and bowed his head slightly, feeling nervous inside.

Elder Lu's impression of him would directly affect his fate to come.

"Steward Wang, I will have to trouble you with this Medicine Garden from now on."

Seeing Wang Yuan suddenly become restrained, Lu Qingfeng said with an unexpected smile.

"Elder Lu, rest assured, I will do my very best!"

Wang Yuan quickly responded.

Lu Qingfeng heard this and smiled as he nodded, not in a rush to bestow favors and recruit. There was plenty of time in the future; they could take it slow.

"Squeak!"

"Screech!"

"Yeow yeow yeow!"

As the two walked, they heard the sound of birds in the sky. Listening to their cries, they were at least Second Rank Demon Birds.

"Demon Birds!"

Wang Yuan looked up at the sky and saw several black dots rapidly approaching; his expression immediately turned solemn.
