Looking at the burlap bag being shoved into my hands.
By now, Li Yingling wasn't actually dumb.
How could she not know this was medicinal fields of another sect?
As a well-educated noble lady from a prestigious family, stealing was quite a challenge to her moral bottom line!
Li Yingling was about to ask a question.
But was startled by Chu Xingchen's gesture to be silent, and immediately closed her mouth.
Chu Xingchen hurriedly whispered, "Quiet down, don't wake up the good brother sleeping inside! Hurry, take whatever you see!"
The bag in her hand, the spirit plants inside, the master's urging!
At this moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired!
Li Yingling gritted her teeth and carefully slipped through the big hole!
Didn't the storybooks say it all? The world of cultivation is full of deceit and betrayal!
One's own ascension to immortality means someone else can't attain immortality!
Cultivation! It must be like this!
Stepping into the spiritual fields, Li Yingling, who was already tense, didn't care about anything. She picked up the nearest spirit plant and pulled it out by the roots.
Regardless of what effect it could have or if the method was correct, she just stuffed it all into the burlap bag.
As she went on, she unconsciously got excited and began to specifically look for the ones that glowed the brightest to pull out!
This stuff was like candles; bringing it back to use as a lamp would work too!
Li Yingling finally packed the entire bag full and was still reluctant to leave.
This time, it was Chu Xingchen who was stunned. Goodness, this spiritual field wasn't very big.
After all, it was just a small sect.
For the major sects, even now, I dare not go and provoke them.
Yet, you are not courteous at all, almost plucking a quarter clean.
Li Yingling, full of excitement, just ran out.
Perhaps too excited, she couldn't hold back her footsteps, and the sleeping disciple guarding the medicinal field was startled awake.
Rubbing his sleep-laden eyes, he saw that a large section of the medicinal field was missing, especially several herbs urgently needed by the sect master were uprooted, not even leaving the roots!
Which ignorant thief would even steal herbs for resurrection?! Are you as incapable as the sect master?!
The guard disciple immediately roared loudly and pulled the alarm bell, shouting:
"Thieves! Come quickly! We have thieves!"
Li Yingling's heartbeat shot up instantly.
Chu Xingchen also reacted quickly, pulling Li Yingling's hand and immediately using Earth Escape to rapidly flee.
Li Yingling faintly heard…
"That damned thief! Who was it that stole the magical grass that I had gathered with great difficulty for Elder Yun! I’m sorry, Yun’er!"
Chu Xingchen's earth escape was specially granted by the system for evasion.
Also, he practiced it diligently all the time, making his speed extremely fast.
When he surfaced again, they were already at an unknown location.
Chu Xingchen skillfully set up a series of tricks to confuse the enemy's trail, then once again led Li Yingling in a reverse direction to escape.
He repeated these actions at least eight times.
Afterward, he carefully sneaked back to the dilapidated temple.
Chu Xingchen took the burlap bag from the still shuddering Li Yingling's hand and began to categorize the spirit plants inside.
After identifying two spirit plants, Chu Xingchen frowned.
Why did this girl only pick up things that invigorate yang?
Li Yingling was still in shock and asked, "Master… will we be caught?"
Chu Xingchen's expression was quite composed, saying, "No, Master has already taken precautions, rock-solid!"
Recalling Chu Xingchen's skillful actions, extremely fast earth escape.
Looking at his calm expression, without a hint of tension, Chu Xingchen clearly seemed like an old hand!
Li Yingling asked, "Master, do you often do this?"
"Not very often, just back when my cultivation was low, wandering through Xuanwu Kingdom, I was prone to trouble, so I practiced this skill on the side."
"Then, Master, your current cultivation shouldn't be low, right? Why did we still run?"
"What should we do? Kill one for each?"
Chu Xingchen picked through the spirit plants and then said,
"Don't think too much, that sect had a small grudge with me before, today's plucking of a few grasses balances the account."
Li Yingling, hearing this, curiously asked, "What grudge?"
Chu Xingchen sighed and said, "The sect master has a partner, pretty good-looking, but her morals were just so-so. But they were deeply in love."
"Later, the partner took a fancy to Master's unparalleled temperament and made multiple advances, which I declined, but it was discovered by the sect master."
"I explained to the sect master, saying that he wasn’t the only one who had been seduced, even his senior disciple had also had an affair with the partner."
"But after hearing that, he became even more furious, and then that old dog chased me for three days and three nights."
Hearing this, Li Yingling couldn’t help but laughed.
Chu Xingchen glanced at her, but didn’t say anything, just went on categorizing the spirit plants.
Then he picked out a few spirit herbs of suitable age, removed the roots, and directly threw them into a nearby pot.
As for the other spirit plants that were not needed temporarily, they were kept and stored in the spatial ring.
Light the fire, add water, start cooking!
The newbie gift from the system also included basic alchemy and artifact crafting techniques.
Unfortunately, one required a cauldron, the other a furnace.
But after careful study, I found that artifact crafting needed a furnace, but alchemy didn’t really.
Cooking in a pot could also work, it just had a worse effect.
Secondly, the appearance was certainly not as refined as when made in a proper alchemy cauldron.
Breath-holding and concentrating, start the alchemy!
No kidding, after reaching the Golden Core stage, one’s control over spiritual energy became even more skillful.
The essence of the medicinal materials was quickly extracted.
A pot of water soon turned green.
Then it was time for intense heat to condense the essence and retain the medicinal effect.
A pot of water, condensed into a droplet the size of a pill.
Chu Xingchen carefully enveloped this droplet with spiritual energy and then looked at Li Yingling, saying:
"Open your mouth, good disciple."
Li Yingling was staring blankly.
Other alchemists all refine into solid pills, right? Why did it become liquid for me.
And this green liquid pill, how does it not look like a poison?
How could I open my mouth?
Li Yingling timidly asked, "Master, are you sure this thing can be eaten?"
"If not for the fact that eating peilingshao directly has poor effects and side effects, I wouldn't bother refining it for you," Chu Xingchen said indignantly, "Hurry up and open your mouth, after eating go cultivate."
Hearing this, Li Yingling helplessly opened her mouth and swallowed the green liquid pill.
As the liquid exploded in her mouth, the extremely bitter taste made Li Yingling's face contort.
She almost couldn't hold back and vomited.
But the effect was indeed good, and the spiritual energy in her body began to surge.
Li Yingling quickly returned to her bed, immediately sitting cross-legged, starting to cultivate.
Chu Xingchen carefully looked at Li Yingling's condition and, finding no problems, also sat back on the bed.
Then he opened the system interface to take a look.
There were two newbie tasks, one was to recruit a qualified disciple, the other was for the disciple's cultivation to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
After Li Yingling reaches Foundation Establishment, the second newbie task will also be completed.
At that time, a divine ability will be rewarded.
Secondly, the official missions can then be unlocked.
Moved to tears, which newbie's tasks require over three years to complete?
