31: Chapter 31: An Illustrated Guide to Rare and Precious Medicines

A night of silence!

The next day.

Lin Feng woke up early.

He pushed open the door and stepped out, immediately catching a whiff of enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen.

“Hehe, Big Brother, you're up? Quick, Mother has already finished making breakfast. Let's go eat!” At that moment, Lin Fang, wearing a new dress, came skipping over and grabbed Lin Feng's arm.

“Mm, I'll go wash up first and head there right away!” Lin Feng smiled slightly.

After a quick wash.

Lin Feng arrived at the front hall.

On the old square table, the breakfast his mother had prepared was already laid out.

A basin of steaming hot buns, plus a bowl of meat broth for each person.

Lin Feng picked up a large bowl and took a sip.

Mm, still that familiar taste.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Feng left with Lin Yi and Lin Fang, intending to report to Qingyun Academy.

Before leaving, Lin Feng looked at his parents and instructed, “Father, Mother, I'm taking Second Brother and Third Sister to report. Later, Shopkeeper Wang from Anjuke will come to deliver the new title deed for the courtyard. You can just accept it directly!

Once I've settled my siblings, I'll return to the Jidao Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts. If I'm busy these next two days, I might not come back!”

“Mm, go ahead. Martial arts practice is important; don't worry about us!” Foster Father Lin Zhenshan nodded with a smile.

“By the way, when Shopkeeper Wang arrives, Father, you can ask him to help with the household registration transfer. Just give him some silver, and he can handle it for you!” Lin Feng added.

“Alright, I've got it!” said Foster Father Lin Zhenshan.

After finishing his instructions, Lin Feng quickly left with his siblings.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Qingyun Academy.

Lin Feng helped his siblings with the enrollment procedures and then left.

...

Back at the Jidao Martial Arts Hall!

On the Outer Courtyard Martial Arts Arena.

Senior Brother Li Qiang was leading more than thirty Outer Sect Disciples, diligently practicing the Jidao Fist.

Every punch and stance was full of power and vigor.

“Senior Brother, I'm back!” Lin Feng greeted with a smile.

“Haha, good to have you back. Come and practice!” Senior Brother Li Qiang nodded with a smile.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Lin!”

“Senior Brother Lin, you're back?”

...The remaining Disciples all greeted him respectfully.

“Mm, hello everyone!” Lin Feng smiled slightly, leaped onto the Martial Arts Arena, and stood beside Senior Brother Li Qiang.

Senior Brother Li Qiang glanced at Lin Feng in surprise. “Junior Brother Lin, do you need something?”

Because normally, Lin Feng preferred to go to the side to Cultivate with Senior Brother Fang Yi.

“Mm, I wanted to ask you, Senior Brother, about some Heaven And Earth Treasures!” Lin Feng laughed.

“What Heaven And Earth Treasure?”

“A treasure that is crimson all over, with only three leaves, and the leaves are covered in strange patterns!” Lin Feng replied.

Senior Brother Li Qiang pondered for a moment and shook his head. “Sorry, Junior Brother Lin, I don't recognize that one!”

At this point, he changed the subject. “However, you can ask the Hall Revered Master; he should know.”

“Mm, alright, I understand!” Lin Feng nodded.

He leaped off the stage and walked toward the Inner Courtyard.

Hall Master Su Tongtian had said that if he encountered any difficulties in the future, he should go find him.

Entering the Inner Courtyard, Lin Feng immediately discovered that on the Inner Courtyard's Martial Arts Arena, Sword Qi was crisscrossing everywhere.

Senior Brother Niu Ben, Senior Sister Li Mei, Third Senior Brother Lu Fan, Senior Sister Su Qingya, and others were diligently practicing their swordplay there.

Every move and style was incomparably sharp!

Especially when Senior Sister Li Mei and Senior Sister Su Qingya practiced their swordplay; their figures were graceful, just like Heavenly Immortals, breathtakingly beautiful.

“What great sword techniques!” Lin Feng couldn't help but watch, mesmerized.

“Hehe, do you envy them?” Just then, a familiar voice came from beside him.

“Mm!” Lin Feng nodded subconsciously.

After speaking, he quickly turned his head and looked over.

Seeing Hall Master Su Tongtian standing there with a grin, he hurriedly cupped his fists in a respectful salute. “Hall Revered Master.”

“Hehe, no need to be so formal!” Hall Master Su Tongtian smiled slightly and said loudly, “You don't need to envy them either, because once you advance to the Core Condensation Realm, you can practice sword techniques just like them!

Besides, you might even get to see even more brilliant sword techniques that far surpass theirs!”

“Mm, I will definitely Cultivate hard and strive to enter the Core Condensation Realm as soon as possible!” Lin Feng nodded heavily.

“Haha, good, I believe in you!” Hall Master Su Tongtian laughed and patted Lin Feng's shoulder, then continued asking, “Did you come here because you need something from me?”

“Yes, Hall Revered Master. I wanted to ask you about some Heaven And Earth Treasures.” Lin Feng said.

“Follow me!” After Hall Master Su Tongtian finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Feng quickly followed.

Soon, Hall Master Su Tongtian led Lin Feng into the study.

The study was decorated quite cleanly and elegantly.

Many paintings and calligraphies hung on the walls.

Every stroke was filled with the true rhyme of the Martial Dao.

On the desk, there were also several volumes of picture books.

Seeing the titles on the picture books, Lin Feng couldn't help but gape in shock!

“Rebellious Disciple, Where Are You Going?”

“Beautiful Master Falls in Love with Me”

...

“Hehe, these are all picture books that girl Qingya likes to read. Don't misunderstand!” Seeing Lin Feng's strange expression, Hall Master Su Tongtian gave an embarrassed laugh and quickly put the books away.

Senior Sister Su Qingya, who was practicing swordplay on the Martial Arts Arena, suddenly sneezed. “Who's cursing me?”

“Sit!” Hall Master Su Tongtian sat in the chair behind the desk and said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sat down as instructed.

“What do you need?” Hall Master Su Tongtian asked again.

“Hall Revered Master, I've recently obtained a Heaven And Earth Treasure, but I don't recognize it. I wanted to consult you about it. It's a...” Lin Feng truthfully described the crimson Heaven And Earth Treasure.

“That is yang spirit grass. As for its effects, it's roughly comparable to half of an earth spirit grass. It's also a rare precious herb!” Hall Master Su Tongtian replied casually upon hearing this.

“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Hall Revered Master!” Lin Feng stood up. “Then I'll head back to Cultivate.”

“Wait!” Hall Master Su Tongtian thought for a moment and called him back. He reached into the cabinet beside him, took out a simple, yellowed ancient book, and handed it over. “I'm giving you this illustrated guide to rare precious herbs. Read it when you're free; you might find it useful in the future!”

“Mm, thank you for the book, Hall Revered Master!” Lin Feng accepted it excitedly.

“Haha, it's nothing. Go on! If you run into any difficulties in the future, just come find me!” Hall Master Su Tongtian laughed.

Holding the illustrated guide to rare precious herbs, Lin Feng quickly turned and left.

Once Lin Feng had left, Hall Master Su Tongtian waved his sleeve and closed the door.

Then he took out “Beautiful Master Falls in Love with Me” and began to read it with great interest.

“Haha, this is so well-written! I wonder which genius came up with this plot!

If my ice-cold beautiful Revered Master back then had been like the heroine in this picture book, that would have been great!” Hall Master Su Tongtian muttered to himself as he read.

His thoughts drifted, remembering the ice-cold beautiful Revered Master he had met while practicing martial arts at the Jidao Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, a picture book is just a picture book; it can't become reality.

So Hall Master Su Tongtian could only seek comfort in the picture books!

...

After leaving the Inner Courtyard, Lin Feng immediately began flipping through the illustrated guide to rare precious herbs in his hands.

He saw that it was filled with both illustrations and text, recording countless rare Heaven And Earth Treasures!

On one of the pages, there was a detailed description of yang spirit grass.

Just as Hall Master Su Tongtian had said, its effects were roughly half that of earth spirit grass.

This item generally grows deep within volcanoes, inside lava pools.

One stalk is worth roughly over three thousand taels of silver, but it's often unavailable even if one has the money.

Lin Feng simply found a rock to sit on and began reading with rapt attention!

He committed every rare herb recorded in the illustrated guide to rare precious herbs to memory one by one.

That way, he wouldn't fail to recognize any Heaven And Earth Treasures he encountered in the future!
