Herb garden, inside a house.
Deacon Wang sat on the edge of the bed, his face slightly tired.
However, he was full of energy, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had encountered something good.
Ning Chuan's ability to read people's expressions was extremely high.
With just a glance, he could tell that this Deacon Wang was definitely in for a joyous occasion. Otherwise, he would never have acted like this.
"Disciple Ning Chuan greets Deacon Wang.”
"I wonder what medicinal herbs you want to pick this time. Disciple will pick them for you now.”
Ning Chuan hurriedly bowed, still wearing a simple and honest smile on his face.
"There's no hurry. Take a look at this.”
Deacon Wang smiled and took out a brocade box from his sleeve.
As he opened the brocade box, a thousand-year-old Lingzhi was reflected in Ning Chuan's eyes.
Hmm?
When Ning Chuan saw the thousand-year-old lingzhi in the brocade box.
A cold light quietly flashed across Ning Chuan's eyes. The sword in his sleeve was already in his hand, as if he would kill Deacon Wang on the spot in the next moment.
In just an instant!
The cold light in Ning Chuan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and the sword in his sleeve returned to its original position. His honest face showed a look of surprise.
"Thousand…Thousand Year Lingzhi?"
"Deacon Wang, could this be the legendary thousand-year-old Lingzhi?”
Ning Chuan pretended to be shocked.
Actually…
In that instant, Ning Chuan almost attacked!
Deacon Wang had discovered the secret that he thought he could accelerate the growth of herbs.
However, he instantly became alert.
Because Ning Chuan remembered it clearly.
All the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs that he had nurtured had been eaten by him.
Even those few thousand-year-old poisonous herbs were made into extreme poisons by him and dipped into weapons and poisonous needles.
There was not a single thousand-year-old herb in the entire herb garden and house.
As a member of the Gou Dao, Ning Chuan was naturally extremely cautious in his actions. It was impossible for him to leave behind any small tail and let others catch him and learn his secrets.
Therefore…
Ning Chuan instantly calmed down. He knew that he was too suspicious. Deacon Wang could not know his secret.
"Hahaha."
"That's right, it's the thousand-year Lingzhi."
"I searched for this thousand-year-old lingzhi for three years and finally found it under a cliff.”
"With this thousand-year-old Lingzhi and some other rare herbs, I can refine the Yuan Chong Pill.”
" Because of this, the Sect Leader promoted me to the fifth elder of the Iron Sword Sect…"
Deacon Wang spoke excitedly. Ning Chuan listened quietly and roughly understood what had happened.
So…
In the past three years, Deacon Wang had been out looking for thousand-year-old herbs to refine the Vitality Charging Pill for Bai Qinghe and the four elders.
It was a pity.
Thousand-year-old herbs could only be found by chance.
This also made Deacon Wang search for a full three years.
But it was still alright.
Deacon Wang finally found this thousand-year-old herb.
This prompted him to rush back to the Iron Sword Sect and prepare to refine the Vitality Charging Pill.
Hearing this.
Ning Chuan also understood why Bai Qinghe announced that he would be in seclusion for three months.
It seemed that after refining the Origin Charging Pill, he would use this pill to break through to the realm of first-rate experts in one go.
"Disciple congratulates Senior on becoming the fifth elder of our sect.”
"Elder Wang, please take care of me in the future.”
Ning Chuan complimented him at the right time, and his honest face showed envy and flattery.
"Good, good, good."
Deacon Wang was full of smiles. The more he looked at Ning Chuan, the more he felt that he was pleasing to the eye.
"Ningchuan, it's been hard on you to take care of the herbal garden for the past three years.”
"This Elder will reward those who have made contributions. After the Origin Charging Pill is successfully refined, this Elder will propose to the Sect Leader to promote you to an inner sect disciple.”
"From now on, you don't have to take care of the herbal garden or do the work of a servant disciple.”
Hearing this.
Ning Chuan's heart thumped and he cursed.
He had no interest in the so-called inner disciples.
One had to know that this herb garden was the best place to live in seclusion. If he was promoted to an inner sect disciple, wouldn't he attract the attention of others? This was definitely not the result that Ning Chuan wanted.
"Elder Wang is wise. I know that my talent is extremely poor. I have only just developed Qi after practicing martial arts for three years. I don't expect to achieve success in martial arts in this life. How can I compare with my senior brothers and sisters in the sect?”
"Disciple is quite interested in the path of herbs and only wishes to stay in the herb garden and focus on studying herbs and alchemy.”
After Ning Chuan finished speaking, he bowed to Deacon Wang.
Looking at Ning Chuan's honest and humble face, Deacon Wang looked regretful and said,
"Hey."
"Nowadays, there are not many young people who are as humble and polite as you.”
"This elder originally wanted to take you as a disciple, but unfortunately, your talent is indeed…"
Deacon Wang paused and then said again,
"Forget it, it's important to know your own limits. It's a good thing that you understand this. Since you're willing to stay in the herb garden, then stay here.”
Hearing this.
Ning Chuan was certain.
However, his thoughts turned quickly, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. He bowed again and said,"Thank you for your help, Elder. However, I still have a presumptuous request that I hope Elder can fulfill.”
"Yes, tell me."
Deacon Wang was still very optimistic about Ning Chuan.
Other than his poor talent in martial arts, he had been very respectful to him for the past three years, and he had never made any mistakes in managing the herbal garden.
If it was just a small request, Deacon Wang would naturally not refuse Ning Chuan.
"Disciple knows that his martial arts foundation is extremely poor, but he is very eager to learn medicinal herbs and alchemy. Unfortunately, there is no pill formula for him to look at.”
"I wonder if Senior can…"
Ning Chuan paused and looked at Deacon Wang with a longing look.
"Pill formula?"
"This…"
Deacon Wang hesitated for a moment before smiling.
Even though pill formulas were very precious to every martial arts sect, they were nothing compared to some martial arts secret manuals.
After all, pill formulas only described the process of refining pills in detail.
Even if there was a pill formula but no medicinal ingredients, the pill formula was useless.
After hesitating for a while, Deacon Wang readily agreed and gave Ning Chuan a token that allowed him to enter the Pill House. He could let him see the various pill formulas stored in the Pill House.
