Ding Hao couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the domineering lady, his teacher.
Ding Hao followed her and ca to a very quiet nursery garden, just after half an incense of ti.
Green fences surrounded the garden with a wooden house in it. A small artificial canal passed through the garden. The flowing water made the small garden beco more quiet and beautiful.
Xin Qianxue pushed the wooden door with a creaking sound and walked in.
Her frosty face, when she saw the green herbal seedlings in the garden, finally revealed a little soft smile from the heart.
This should be an experintal herb garden that she pioneered by herself. It was planted with so common low-grade herbs, but it was luxuriantly green and full of vitality; the air was filled with a beautiful fragrance of herbs.
Ding Hao hesitated, but he still followed in.
“Ding Hao, do you dislike the spiritual herb course?” Xin Qianxue, who had been silent for a long ti, finally spoke. She crouched in the nursery garden. Her white fingers brushed several green herbs like touching a baby’s body. She looked back at Ding Hao and asked calmly and expectantly.
“er... no, I like it very much,” Ding Hao said with a light laugh.
“You are lying,” Xin Qianxue’s words punctured the fallacy in Ding Hao’s words. Her clear eyes seed to be able to see through people’s hearts. She was slightly disappointed and said, “If you like it, why are you staring blankly in my class?”
“Er...”
Ding Hao was silent and said in his heart that, ‘if I told you that I was not in a daze, but I was learning from an old woman who lived in my mind and claid to be a teacher of immorality pills, would you believe it?’
In every class Ding Hao seed to be absent-minded. Actually, he was learning the knowledge about spiritual herbs from the Saber Master. Although Xin Qianxue had great strength and talent in immorality pills, she was still too far from the ancestor-level monster, the Saber Master.
“Let guess why you don’t like this course.” Xin Qianxue stared into Ding Hao’s eyes and calmly said, “You must think that herbs and refining elixirs are too complicated and will take too much energy from you. It is not as good as practicing Qi and swordsmanship, which can make you strong and invincible in a short term, right?”
What could Ding Hao say?
“In fact, this is all a misunderstanding of the pharmacist profession by the ordinary people, thinking of it as a maker of immortality pills. Yes, pharmacists start learning at a lower level and achieve results at later stage. But you have to know that even gurus with extraordinary strength have to show their respect for high-level pharmacists. If strength is said to be the foundation of martial artists, then, an immortality pill is their second life. Moreover, as far as I know, the fighting capacity of high-level pharmacists—makers of immortality pills, are no worse than martial artists.” Xin Qianxue said earnestly.
Ding Hao nodded.
Saber Master had told him such things too many tis.
Noticing Ding Hao’s expression, Xin Qianxue said helplessly, “Since you know all this, why don’t you listen and pay proper attention to the lectures? I think you have the potential to beco a Dan pharmacist. You should think about it carefully. Even if you learn how to make immortal dans and practice martial arts at the sa ti, you will not waste too much ti.”
“Madam, I will study hard.” Since Ding Hao wanted to hurry back to complete his daily practice plan, he patted his chest and made a promise.
Xin Qianxue, of course, saw Ding Hao’s perfunctory response and could only reluctantly shake her head. She was a little disheartened and said, “All right, you can leave now.”
Ding Hao hurriedly saluted, said thanks and intended to leave.
Xin Qianxue sighed, still feeling a little pity. She thought for a mont, and then added, “Wait, I have a compendium of spiritual herbs here, that is so of my own experience. Read it diligently and you will find that the study of spiritual herbs is definitely not what you think.”
Ding Hao turned and took the thick blue thread-bound booklet.
At that mont, Ding Hao’s palm touched Xin Qianxue’s suet-jade-like slender fingers, and a slight cold touch was transmitted to him.
Xin Qianxue retracted her jade-like hand as if receiving an electric shock.
Ding Hao thanked her again, and strode away from the secluded herb garden.
Looking at Ding Hao’s back, Xin Qianxue shook her head faintly. With a slightly disappointed look, she sighed, turned and ca to the herb garden. She unfolded her palm, and a pale red light flashed, then a fist-sized red elixir furnace showed up, revolving and slowly rotating in her hand.
A dense, light green gas sprayed from the red furnace and fell on the herbs.
When the breeze blew, fresh spiritual herbs beca greener.
If Ding Hao were present, he would have burst into alarm. Xin Qianxue looked delicate and weak, but unexpectedly her Qi was far above the Martial Disciple Realm. She controlled the furnace and reached a subtle level as described by the Saber Master.
...
In the next few days, Ding Hao spent a lot of ti taking care of Zhang Fan and Fang Tianyi, besides attending classes and practicing martial arts.
The storm brought after the Tianli Attic was defeated by him with one sword also gradually cald down. The top managent of the sect did not investigate this matter. The outer core elders who were said to be behind the Tianli Attic showed no signs of wanting to make trouble for Ding Hao, as if nothing had happened.
Duan Tianli was badly beaten and lost his face. He could not regain his self-esteem any more. After finally recovering his wounds, he left the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect despondently and disappeared. The Tianli Attic was completely closed and was taken away by others at a high price.
As a result of this incident, the comrcial organizations of so of the other outer disciples had also been better-behaved and had no longer exploited and squeezed registered disciples as before.
The na of Ding Hao had once again beco the focus of discussion.
A few days later, Zhangfan and Fang Tianyi’s wounds had finally recovered completely without leaving any sequelae.
Especially Zhang Fan the teenage hunter, under the stimulation of various spiritual herbs administered by Ding Hao and Wang Xiaoqi at all costs, his body was improved to a higher rank in terms of ridians, just as it was said that every cloud had a silver lining. He used to be extrely poor in terms of ridians. Although he had not remoulded himself thoroughly, he was much better than before.
At this ti, the expected election date for the head of the academies ca at last.
The academy head was the manager of two hundred registered disciples. He had various kinds of enviable rights and could decide many things in the academy by himself, including allocation of cultivation resources, etc. His power was no less than that of the teacher-in-chief Wang Juefeng. Therefore, it had an extrely fatal attraction for every registered disciple.
The academy head was elected in a very simple way.
He was neither assigned by the high-level nor decided by a martial arts contest.
Registered disciples of each academy recomnded their own academy head, and the person who won the majority if the disciples’ support beca the academy head.
Since the election news of the academy head ca out, many people had been fighting for this powerful and prestigious position. So people had paid a lot of money to invite their disciples to drink and eat, so had privately ford small groups to lobby for votes, and so had made many promises that sothing favorable would happen if they were elected to be the academy head
