6: Get five magical herbs!

Although Tang Tian didn't know what lu cao flower was… from the County Magistrate's pained expression… it was clear that this was definitely a good item.

Tang Tian asked the Village Chief, “What is lu cao flower?”

There was no other way, Tang Tian truly didn't know.

Tang Lu said, “It’s a Material for refining Spirit Pills… used by Immortals…”

Tang Lu didn't lie to Tang Tian either.

Tang Tian asked, “Then what is the use of a Spirit Pill?”

Tang Lu said, “I don’t know either, I guess it can improve an Immortal’s Cultivation.”

Tang Lu didn't lie to him in this sentence either; he truly didn't know.

Tang Lu said, “But don’t even think about it. If a Martial Artist eats this Medicinal Pill, he will explode and die.”

Tang Tian retorted, “Have you eaten it?”

Tang Lu naturally hadn't eaten it. He said, “I’ve seen people eat it. Otherwise, why do you think I’m still at the 9th level of bone refinement, despite my family growing so many Spirit Medicines? I’ve been stuck at the 9th level of bone refinement for fifteen years…”

Tang Tian didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, a grand mansion with a tall gate appeared… this was Village Chief Tang Lu’s home.

Tang Lu led Tang Tian to an acre of Spiritual Field he cultivated.

In front of the Spiritual Field, Tang Lu said solemnly, “If you dare to take more, I’ll fight you to the death.”

Tang Tian said, “Alright.”

Tang Tian nodded. After all, it was given for free. Tang Tian entered the Spiritual Field, and Tang Lu felt a pang of pain.

Tang Tian sighed in his heart, “This Spiritual Field is truly shabby, not even a thousandth of the Spiritual Field in the Medicine Venerable Space.”

Seeing the disdain on Tang Tian’s face, Tang Lu said in dissatisfaction, “What kind of expression is that, kid? These are Spirit Medicines offered to the County Magistrate. Today, I can only give you a tiny bit.”

Tang Lu also wanted to build a good relationship with Tang Tian. After all, if that kid Tang Yuan couldn’t Breakthrough to the Qi Refining stage, 1st level… then giving Spirit Medicine to Tang Tian wouldn’t be too bad for their relationship…

Tang Tian asked, “Are there seeds here?”

Looking at the seven or eight types of crowded Spirit Medicines in the barren field, Tang Tian really didn't want them.

Tang Tian looked at them with great disdain; these Spirit Medicines were definitely malnourished.

Tang Lu quickly said, “Seeds are impossible! The County Magistrate absolutely forbids the spread of seeds.”

Tang Tian said, “Alright then, I’ll just take one plant of each of the seven Spirit Medicines.”

The Spirit Medicines inside were all in clumps, so taking one plant wasn't much.

Tang Lu said, “No, four plants at most!”

Tang Lu was displeased and picked up the blood-stained knife in his hand, ready to fight to the death.

Tang Tian haggled, saying, “Then five plants.”

After some hesitation, Tang Lu… put down his knife and said, “Alright…”

After the negotiation, Tang Tian didn't hesitate to pull out clumps of various Spirit Plants. After the fifth plant, he carefully selected another Spirit Plant that could Cultivate seeds.

Seeing Tang Tian emerge from the Spiritual Field, the Village Chief breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Tang Tian, you can leave now, right? Remember not to kill Tang Yuan, or the Heavenly Dao contract will not spare you.”

Tang Tian said, “I said I wouldn’t kill him.”

However… if Tang Yuan had an accident, it would have nothing to do with him…

The Village Chief’s son, Tang Water, following his father’s instructions, handed the new clothes to Tang Tian from the side.

However, he was dissatisfied in his heart. Why was his father so respectful to Tang Tian?

Tang Water was very upset today. That useless Tang Yuan actually recognized his father as his adoptive father… Was he trying to seize his family property…

Tang Lu said, “Come, Fellow Daoist, it’s a bit rushed today, but please accept these three taels of silver as a disciple-acceptance gift.”

Tang Lu offered the three taels of silver, and his address changed from Tang Tian to Fellow Daoist.

Tang Tian hesitated to accept it; not only the silver, but the clothes were the same. After all, the Storyteller had said that poisoning clothes and silver was commonplace.

Tang Tian said, “No need…”

Tang Tian left and groped his way to Great Aunt’s house in the dark, stealing the clothes his uncle had hung up to alter and wear them.

At least for now, they fit quite well.

Looking at the Spirit Medicine in the bag, Tang Tian hesitated for a moment before putting it into the Medicine Venerable Space. It actually went in.

Now the weather was getting colder. He went to Tang Zhuang’s house and used the seedlings to absorb the bodies scattered on the ground… It actually absorbed them completely, not a single drop of blood remaining…

Tang Tian left Tang Family Village and was about to return to Tang Yuan’s house for a surprise attack.

Unexpectedly, the Village Chief was guarding there, grinning at him.

Tang Tian shook his head and said, “Forget it, I’ll kill Tang Yuan in a few days. If I kill him during New Year’s, I can even mooch a meal.”

Returning to the base, he drank a few sips of water to calm his mind and fell into contemplation, looking at the seedlings…

Tang Tian pondered, “After that Spirit Plant is put in, will it automatically plant itself?”

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Tian still went in, his feet once again stepping on the hazy Spiritual Field.

Seeing the five Spirit Plants haphazardly blocking the way in front of him, they indeed didn't plant themselves automatically.

He still had to rely on himself.

He instantly perked up, squatted down, dug five holes in the ground, and planted the Spirit Plants.

After being planted, the Spirit Plants instantly grew.

Then the spirituality of the soil declined, almost becoming ordinary farmland after being absorbed by these few body-tempering Spirit Medicines…

A strange fragrance wafted, and these five body-tempering Spirit Plants all bore vibrant flowers, with only a trace of Spiritual Qi remaining in the Spiritual Field.

At this moment, a “bang” sound came from afar. It turned out that the five corpses that had been collected earlier were absorbed.

Tang Zhuang’s family deserved their fate.

After all, turning his ancestral home into a pigsty was an irreconcilable matter.

However, grievances disappear when people die.

As soon as Tang Tian thought this, he immediately said, “There’s still one person left in Tang Zhuang’s family… What was his name again? He seems to be a yamen runner in the county. I need to find time to resolve this hidden danger…”

Tang Tian felt extremely refreshed after taking his revenge.

At this moment, the flowers on the Li Gu Grass seemed different.

Because the age of this Li Gu Grass had actually reached two thousand years! This was only because the Yin Sha Old Man’s body’s spiritual power was insufficient.

Otherwise, it could even reach twenty thousand years.

The Spiritual Qi around the flower seemed to have materialized. Tang Tian hesitated and then ate it.

The blood-replenishing effect didn’t change, and then one plant was equivalent to ten plants. He replenished too much blood… a large amount of nosebleed flowed out…

Tang Tian exclaimed in shock, “This flower is so potent.”

Tang Tian couldn’t believe it.

Tang Tian looked at the Li Gu Grass, wide-eyed, and said, “This must be about two thousand years old.”

After the excitement wore off, he looked at the soil underground with a bit of heartache. It now only had thin Spiritual Qi, even worse than the Village Chief’s soil.

Tang Tian thought for a moment and said, “It seems I still need to fertilize it. I remember there’s a mass grave in Qingmu County, right?”

Qingmu County had a mass grave, which, as the name suggested, contained many bones…

And Tang Family Village was just a small village in Qingmu County…

However, the first priority now was to improve his strength.

Tang Tian didn't know how to use these body-tempering Spirit Medicines. Should he eat them directly? Or use them for bathing?

After a glance, not knowing the method of use, Tang Tian left the Yin Sha Old Man’s ring and the “Evergreen Skill” on the black soil.

Now he didn’t have to worry about losing them.

This Medicine Venerable Space was quite good as a storage space. Tang Tian left contentedly…

It was already pitch dark. He Cultivated “Evergreen Skill” all night.

However, the Spiritual Qi around Tang Family Village was too low; the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian in the middle of his lower abdomen was less than one-thousandth of what it should be.

Now that “Evergreen Skill” was only at the introductory level, Tang Tian wasn't anxious about this small achievement.

After all, he had to rely on body-tempering Spirit Medicines to improve his Cultivation.

Since these were body-tempering Spirit Medicines, Tang Tian prepared to find a pot and boil water to try them out.

However, the village was lively now, so it wasn't a good time to go looking.

He could only go find some firewood first. Tang Family Village was surrounded by mountains, so finding fallen firewood was very easy.

Leaving the cave, he wandered around a few times and stopped in a suitable forest.

The large trees in front of him were lush and green.

Tang Tian said, “Getting these trees should be enough.”

With his Cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, 1st level, Tang Tian could easily break off trees as thick as an adult’s forearm.

Then he put them into the Medicine Venerable Space…
