Chapter 1185: Practice as You Wish

The herbs that elders and students in the academy require to produce pills can all be taken from Medicinal Valley. Only one person in the entire academy has her own medicinal garden—the student whose name was erased from the Qing Yun Ranking! That means the medicinal garden belongs to that person? Chu Liuyue thought to herself.

Previously, I only heard Zhong Xun talking about it. He said that the director specifically dug out a piece of land from Medicinal Valley to be that student’s medicinal garden, and others couldn’t go to that place.

I originally thought that it was hidden in some mysterious place, but I didn’t expect it to be right beside Medicinal Valley! However, the elders used a barrier to separate it. Thus, the people in Medicinal Valley can’t detect it.

Thinking of how she had surveyed the surroundings on the mountain peak when she first came, Chu Liuyue also didn’t see any additional land. After thinking about it again, that medicinal garden should’ve been hidden with some special methods.

Originally, Chu Liuyue wasn’t very interested in that medicinal garden. But after seeing the many blooming Dancing Lotuses, she suddenly felt very curious and wanted to investigate it.

She couldn’t explain where this feeling came from, but it was as if something hidden inside attracted her. However, these were just thoughts that flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind. She looked down. “Elder, you’re right. I’ll remember your words carefully.”

This att.i.tude pleased Elder Meng Ye, and he chuckled. “Okay! You don’t have to be nervous either. No matter what, you’re Wan Zheng’s disciple, and I have to give him face. Right, calculate the points for these herbs.”

He pursed his lips toward the side.

Chu Liuyue then saw that a green jade plaque was hanging by the head of the bed.

It should be his.

“You can just place your black jade plaque on it!” Chu Liuyue acted according to his instructions.

The moment the two plaques touched, a ray of white light flashed across.

Chu Liuyue clearly saw the six-digit figure becoming a five-digit one.

She instantly felt her heart ache. How expensive! These herbs aren ‘t ordinary ones, so they are naturally more expensive. Luckily, I’m using the points that Elder Wan Zheng gave, so I can still accept it. In the future… I definitely have to pay for them on my own.

Chu Liuyue put away her own black jade plaque and bowed to bid farewell.

When her figure disappeared from Medicinal Valley, Elder Meng Ye stroked his beard and laid back down as he propped his leg up and shook his foot. “Why… does this kid look so familiar…”

Chu Liuyue brought the herbs back.

Seeing her return, Elder Wan Zheng welcomed her with a smile. “Was everything smooth?”

Chu Liuyue took out the herbs one by one. “I didn’t fail your wishes and brought all the herbs back, Mentor.”

Elder Wan Zheng counted them and nodded in satisfaction. He then asked, “How’s Medicinal Valley?”

Chu Liuyue paused for a moment before seriously replying, “It’s a land filled with treasures.”

“Hahaha!” Elder Wan Zheng laughed out loud. “That’s right! It’s indeed a unique place!”

Chu Liuyue’s eyes flickered a little. Being able to produce so many precious herbs, Medicinal Valley’s existence on its own is a miracle. Only Ling Xiao Academy—which has a history dating back thousands ofyears—has such a rich foundation.

“There are many good things there! If you want to produce pills in the future, just go over and take the herbs from there!”

Chu Liuyue’s eyes lit up before quickly dimming again.

Elder Wan Zheng sharply captured the momentary change in her gaze and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”

“That…” Chu Liuyue laughed in embarra.s.sment. “Medicinal Valley has many herbs, but they all require a lot of points…”

So it’s because of this! Elder Wan Zheng reacted and nonchalantly waved his hands. “I was wondering what problem you had! Isn’t it just points? As long as you can quickly break through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor and get onto the Qing Yun Ranking, I’ll definitely prepare a substantial gift for you! In the meantime, just tell me if you need any herbs! You can consider it to be public funds—it’ll be deducted from me!”

What do points count for? With such a rare talented disciple, many people will be envious to death! I have waited for so long and finally obtained such a good disciple. How can I not try my best to nurture him? In comparison, wasting some points and using some herbs are normal! His sentence of generosity energized Chu Liuyue instantly. “Mentor, are you for real?”

Elder Wan Zheng acted angry and glared at her. “Can I still lie to you? Don’t worry!”

Chu Liuyue smiled until her eyes curved into crescents, and her eyes sparkled. “I’ll thank you now then, Mentor!”

Elder Wan Zheng waved his hands. “Come! Let me see if you can produce a ninth-grade pill!”

Chu Liuyue nodded, walked to the cauldron, and arranged the items she needed in order.

Bang!

She slammed her hands on the mouth of the cauldron!

Two b.a.l.l.s of fire instantly surged out, filling the entire cauldron!

Rumble!

The fire burned brightly, and the surrounding temperature instantly increased greatly.

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she placed the herbs inside in an organized manner to refine them.

All sorts of herbs were gathered in the fire within the cauldron.

Elder Wan Zheng watched her familiar techniques and smooth actions from the start, feeling emotional. Previously, quite a few people doubted me when I said that I wanted Chu Yue to get onto the Qing Yun Ranking in two or three months. This time, I want my precious disciple to blind their eyes!

He magnanimously yelled, “Disciple, practice properly! Don’t worry about anything! I’ll be your backing, so just train however you want!”.
