Chapter 40: This is a pretty good stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant

“Please absolutely refrain from doing that.” Song Shuhang immediately stopped him. “Three days ago, Miss Soft Feather had already sent two of my teachers to the hospital. One of them is still currently hospitalized, while another one is the English professor you saw earlier on who was walking with crutches. If Senior continues by sending a few more teachers to the hospital, everyone would feel there’s something abnormal about it.”

“Ah? Soft Feather has already done this? Tsk, then it’s no good. If I send more teachers to the hospital, it’ll be too sudden and abrupt.”

Song Shuhang continued to add, “Furthermore, this isn’t the best place to refine Body Tempering Liquid as my roommates might come back anytime. If they knew the reason you went to the classroom to find me was to refine some so-called medicine pills, they’d definitely send both of us to Da Shi Shan Mental Hospital.”

There was no need to doubt his three roommates’ kindness. They would definitely do that.

Medicine Master sighed. “This is why mortals are troublesome. Little Friend Shuhang, how about you break away from the world of mortals and join one of the sects in our group? The few sects within our group are pretty good and are ranked in the top in China. For example, Da Luo Sect, Faraway Wandering Temple, Spiritual Butterfly Island, and Mysterious Yellow Sword Sect all have reputable fame amongst cultivators.

“I will consider it.” Song Shuhang replied. Perhaps one day in the future, he might choose to enter a sect, but not right now.

According to the cultivators’ terminology, his current ties with the mortal world were yet to be severed, and he was unable to clearly understand the world of cultivators. Therefore, he was not suited to join sects and concentrate on cultivation.

“Anyway, are you really unable to find time in the afternoon? If worst comes to worst, I can create an accident for the entire school to stop the lessons? In that case, no one will suspect anything.” Medicine Master unperturbedly spoke of a suggestion that made one’s heart tremble.

“Senior Medicine Master, please absolutely refrain from doing such frightening things,” Song Shuhang gravely spoke. “I only have to take a leave and that’ll be fine. I’ve even prepared the leave of absence request form.”

“Will it affect your studies if you take a leave? You might not be able to catch up your classmates.” Medicine Master worriedly questioned.

The problem of my personal learning progress vs a schoolwide accident, which is more serious?

“Please rest assured, regarding lagging-behind-the-classes problem, I only need to randomly find a classmate’s notes and I will be able to catch up. Recently, I’ve been doing very well at school.” Song Shuhang guaranteed.

Medicine Master replied, “Then that’s great. Let’s go find a location where we can refine pills and start refining Body Tempering Liquid!”

“How about heading off-campus to see if there’s any house up for rental.” Song Shuhang spoke. He initially had the intention to rent an apartment outside, and coincidentally, he could settle it today.

“Yea, that makes sense. I indeed need to rent a house as I might need to stay with you for a few days, and it wouldn’t be good if I don’t have any lodging.” Medicine Master nodded. “Then, we’ll head out now?”

Medicine Master was an impetuous person and this aspect was the same as what he displayed within the group.

“Sure, let’s head out then.” Song Shuhang spoke and rummaged for his wallet and credit card.

While he was taking his wallet, he saw the pot of Poisonous Dragon Plant beside his computer.

Thereupon, he inquired, “Senior Medicine Master, previously, you mentioned in the group that you’re collecting living Poisonous Dragon Plants, do you still require one now?”

“I have purchased some from a fellow Daoist within the group, but the quality was rather average, it was lacking when compared to what I need for experiments. Therefore, I can only make do with it first. Do you have Poisonous Dragon Plant with you?” Medicine Master inquired.

“Yea, it’s right here.” Song Shuhang pointed to the Poisonous Dragon Plant beside his computer.

Frankly speaking… Song Shuhang’s luck was indeed not just good. Fifty to sixty years back, the Poisonous Dragon Plant Venerable Spirit Butterfly used as the eye of the formation was a good quality one. Furthermore, if it were other ingredients, Medicine Master would definitely not be lacking any of them.

Only now did Medicine Master notice that pot with purplish-black Poisonous Dragon Plant growing in it. “Interesting. I’ve entered this room for quite some time, to think that I would not notice this stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant!”

One has to know that Medicine Master has been in contact with medicinal plants for more than five hundred years. Even if it was deep in the mountains or forests, as long as there was spirit medicine there, he could find it even with his eyes closed. However, this stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant was just placed beside Song Shuhang’s computer and he didn’t even realize it was there since he entered the room.

What was so peculiar about this Poisonous Dragon Plant?

Thinking of here, Medicine Master came beside this stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant and carefully observed while sniffing, pinching, and plucking a small tip of a leaf to taste.

“It’s pretty good. This stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant has been growing in an area with abundant spiritual qi and ghost qi for fifty to sixty years and has been used as a formation eye before. The quality is even above high-grade. As it was used as a formation eye, a mutation seems to have occurred, causing it to possess a decent concealment ability. That’s why I had failed to notice it,” Medicine Master laughed. The quality of this stalk had met his requirements, and furthermore, it had undergone a mutation and was very valuable.

Song Shuhang inquired. “Does this Poisonous Dragon Plant fit Senior Medicine Master’s requirements?”

“This is exactly what I need… are you intending to sell this Poisonous Dragon Plant to me?” Medicine Master looked at Song Shuhang and smiled. “Before that, I have to explain to you first. Poisonous Dragon Plant is fundamentally a more precious medicinal ingredient and the price of this stalk is definitely not average. For example, the value of those two boxes medicinal ingredients Soft Feather gifted you isn’t even one-tenth of this Poisonous Dragon Plant. Therefore, are you sure you want to sell it to me?”

“I have no use of it even if I kept it. Moreover, if you, Senior, did not send a Simplified Body Tempering Liquid recipe free of charge in the group, I wouldn’t have had the chance to come into contact with cultivation,” Song Shuhang spoke.

Medicine Master shook his head. “Even without my recipe, as long as you stayed within Nine Provinces Number One Group, sooner or later you would have the chance to come to know about the existence of ‘cultivators’, whereas that recipe’s value is different depending on the person. To Great Master Profound Principle, True Monarch Rain Moon, and the rest, due to the huge amount of disciples within their sect, the value of it is high. However, you are only a loose cultivator in early stages and alone by yourself, so to you, the recipe’s value cannot be compared with this stalk of Poisonous Dragon Grass.

Medicine Master carefully raised the stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant and when both of his hands came together, it disappeared.

Song Shuhang curiously asked. “Space ring? Storage bag?”

“It’s not one of those precious space storage items. Those equipment are involved with space rules and a 50-cubic-meter size storage space would be worth as much as all my assets.” Medicine Master laughed. “I only used a secondary-grade space spell called ‘Medicinal Field Area’ that’s similar to it. Every Pill Refining Master would grasp this skill. This method can only be used to transport medicinal ingredients and other items cannot be shifted inside. After your cultivation realm has reached Fourth Stage, you can also learn such small tricks. It’s quite easy to learn.”

Song Shuhang nodded his head, seemingly understanding yet somewhat not understanding.

“Speaking of which, originally I only intended to find some inspiration from you to improve the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid and, at the same time, mentor you in a basic sword technique and a meditation technique. I didn’t expect you would have prepared a huge gift for me instead. Like this, I am embarrassed to teach you the meditation technique and the basic sword technique I had previously prepared.” While speaking, Medicine Master dished out his phone and logged onto Nine Provinces Number One Group.

He wasn’t someone who would take advantage of a junior. As Song Shuhang had gotten him a high-grade Poisonous Dragon Plant, he decided to acquire two sets of slightly higher-grade cultivation techniques… at least it had to be better than the staple goods he had on hand.
