Translator: 549690339
“Ding Xuanji’s sister?” Upon hearing this, Fang Lin raised his brows slightly but did not appear overly surprised.
Instead, the likes of Xu Shangao, Wu ngsheng and others, seed sowhat tense and grave.
The woman was dressed in a long purple dress. She was tall and had a beautiful face, but the haughty deanor between her brows made her seem high above, untouchable to others.
This ti, Fang Lin did not ask the silly question of who Ding Xuanji was — having been a formal disciple for a while now, he was familiar with so of the Pill Sect’s influential figures.
Ding Xuanji was one of the Four Elites of the Pill Sect and, in terms of seniority, was even above Yu Qiufan. When faced with Ding Xuanji, even Yu Qiufan had to respectfully address him as ‘Brother Ding’.
This was not because Ding Xuanji was stronger than Yu Qiufan, but because
Ding Xuanji had joined the sect earlier. Comparing their alchemy skills, Ding Xuanji had an edge over Yu Qiufan, but in martial arts, Yu Qiufan was slightly better.
Nonetheless, Ding Xuanji was revered by the disciples of the Pill Sect, exercising indubitable authority like Yu Qiufan. Even the elders gave him face.
“What’s her na?” Fang Lin asked quietly.
Xu Shangao answered: “Her na is Ding Linglong. Relying on her brother’s fa, few dare to provoke her. She’s quite willful. It’s better we keep our distance.”
Fang Lin nodded in agreent. It was normal for a girl like Ding Linglong with such a prestigious brother to be sowhat arrogant.
“Let’s go elsewhere.” Fang Lin suggested, leading his group to another location to collect dicinal herbs.
No one disagreed, all preferring to keep a distance from Ding Linglong to avoid trouble.
Upon seeing Fang Lin and his group leave, a hint of disdain showed on Ding Linglong’s beautiful face.
“That Fang Lin is nothing special,” Ding Linglong said nonchalantly to the people around her.
“Sister Ding is right, Fang Lin just got lucky. He can’t compare with Sister
Ding.”
“Sister Ding is our star; far superior than a simple Fang Lin.”
“Fang Lin is smart enough to know Sister Ding’s prowess.”
Ding Linglong appeared to enjoy the flattery from those around her, the proud look on her face even more pronounced.
Fang Lin, along with Xu Shangao and Wu ngsheng, found another densely packed herb field. It was smaller than Ding Linglong’s, but was more than good enough for them.
Xu Shangao and the others imdiately rushed into the herb field, excitedly gathering dicinal herbs.
Fang Lin, too, began harvesting. Though most of these herbs were common, they were plentiful and mature, making them worthwhile to pick.
After all, it wasn’t easy to get to dicine-Seeking Peak, and Fang Lin wouldn’t be able to face himself if he didn’t fill up his Nine Palace Bag. “This orchid grass isn’t bad. Almost a hundred years.” “Huh? Mutated Swallowtail Root. Great stuff!”
“These Tiger Head Flowers are decent too.”
While looking over these herbs, Fang Lin hastily added them to his Nine Palace Bag.
Compared to Fang Lin, others were much slower because they were not as talented at identifying herbs. They had to confirm that these weren’t poisonous or worthless herbs before picking them, making them much less efficient than Fang Lin.
However, the herb field was quite large. Even though Xu Shangao was slow, he was still able to collect quite a few herbs.
On the other side, Ding Linglong was also gathering dicinal herbs, but there was a difference.
Ding Linglong hadn’t even lifted a finger. Instead, she held her hands in front of her chest, looking relaxed and at ease.
Anyone who picked herbs had to hand a portion over to Ding Linglong. Thus, without doing anything herself, she managed to get a substantial potion of dicinal herbs.
Shockingly, none of the disciples of the Pill Sect seed to resent this, instead showing ingratiating smiles when offering their herbs to Ding Linglong. Fang Lin, watching this spectacle from a distance, was rendered speechless.
“Brother Fang, over here! Co take a look!” Suddenly, Wu ngsheng waved and called out to Fang Lin. Catching himself, he walked towards Fang Lin, lowering his voice to say, “Brother Fang, I’ve found sothing valuable. I’m not certain though, you should co and see.”
Wu ngsheng was gravely serious, a hint of elation visible in his eyes. He must have co across an extraordinary herb.
“Don’t make a scene.” Fang Lin followed Wu ngsheng to the spot.
There, Wu ngsheng carefully pushed aside the surrounding herbs to reveal a pure, flawless white flower on the ground. It was naturally beautiful and charming.
Fang Lin’s gaze concentrated on the flower. He sensed a refreshing and elegant fragrance that lifted his spirits.
The white flower had nine petals without blemish. They were like pure jade.
In the center of the flower, a spot of bright red stigma was as eye-catching as a poppy in a field of flowers.
On the stem of the plant, there were only two green leaves. Their existence seed to deepen Fang Lin’s gaze.
Upon closer inspection, the two green leaves had faint phoenix imprints, as if a phoenix was spreading its wings to fly.
Fang Lin’s eyes flickered, lost in thought.
“This is a Jade Cleansing Flower that has been stained with the blood of a phoenix. Even a drop of very diluted phoenix blood can cause the Jade Cleansing Flower to mutate,” Fang Lin thought. His eyes saturated with excitent.
The ordinary Jade Cleansing Flower couldn’t be described as anything more than a common herb, even if it had aged for a century. The efficacy of its drug properties was just slightly stronger than the usual.
However, this Jade Cleansing Flower, in terms of appearance and aura, greatly surpassed the ordinary Jade Cleansing Flower. In particular, its two leaves stained by the blood of the phoenix – they were treasures among treasures.
In his previous life as the Pill Sovereign, Fang Lin had concocted a pill using real phoenix blood. Therefore, this Jade Cleansing Flower was supposed to an nothing to him.
Now though, as a hero fallen on hard tis, Fang Lin was desperate for sothing like this Jade Cleansing Flower—it was greatly beneficial to him.
This Jade Cleansing Flower was discovered by Wu ngsheng first. As such, Fang Lin felt, it would seem wrong to monopolize it.
“Hmm? This Jade Cleansing Flower has mutated. It looks quite good, and I’ve taken a liking to it. You guys should give it to .” Just then, a slightly surprised female voice sounded. Fang Lin turned to see Ding Linglong. She had sohow approached quietly and was now eyeing the Jade Cleansing Flower.
Wu ngsheng regarded Ding Linglong with suspicion, while Fang Lin furrowed his brow.
Apparently unbothered by their less-than-welcoming expressions, Ding Linglong reached out to pluck the Jade Cleansing Flower..
