Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 45 Hundred Herb Liquid

Chapter 45 Hundred Herb Liquid

Ye Fan and Pang Bo had suppressed Han Feiyu. These two who appeared to be just eleven or twelve years old were originally in an awful position. It was obvious they hadn’t cultivated their Divine Energy Spring. But they still managed to beat an Elder’s grandson stupid, almost crippling him. Many people in the crowd were completely stupefied.

“These two people are so brave!”

“They’re only eleven or twelve years old, how could they have such a divine strength?”

“Using their bare hands, they suppressed Han Feiyu, even sending Elder Han’s Green Wood Seal flying. It’s inconceivable!”

The surrounding people were all animatedly discussing it.

Even those disciples who had been cultivating for longer at the bottom of the other cliffs also noticed what was happening. When they found out that Elder Han’s grandson, Han Feiyu, had been beaten so badly, they immediately burst into an uproar.

“Those two youths looks so young. How could they so this valiant? You really can’t judge a book by its cover…”

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both been acting very low-profile before this, but now they had become the center of attention. Once the disciples below the other cliffs heard what happened, they all walked over in order to see these two fierce people.

“What? That Pang Bo is an immortal sprout?”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this news. The disciples who had entered the sect earlier naturally understood what being an immortal sprout represented. He was someone who would gain the Spirit Ruins Paradise’s inheritance and also their hope for the future. He might even be the person who could guide the sect to glory in the future.

“Since he’s an immortal sprout, it makes sense why his body is so powerful.”

“Han Feiyu has kicked an iron board this time. He won’t even be able to take revenge in the future. All he can do is swallow his anger…”

Everyone’s expressions were complicated when they looked at Pang Bo now. They didn’t know exactly what they were feeling, but many people quickly decided that they had to befriend Pang Bo in the future.

At the moment, Ye Fan and Pang Bo weren’t idly standing there. Ignoring the various gazes of the crowd, they picked up over thirty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid from the ground. The youngsters who had attacked Ye Fan and Pang Bo were now all inserted upside-down within the silt, but the Hundred Herb Liquid that those youngsters had collected were left behind.

New disciples would only receive one bottle of Hundred Herb Liquid every three months, making it very precious. Seeing these two gain thirty bottles at once, the surrounding people immediately became jealous.

“Those guys who managed to cultivate Divine Symbols should have much better stuff on them…”

Unsatisfied, the two of them gazed at the young men they had stuck into the silt. These few had cultivated traces of divine strength and had given rise to a Divine Symbol within their Sea of Bitterness. Since their cultivation bases were higher than ordinary disciples, they should be much richer than the other youngsters.

The two of them exchanged a glance and started to drag out five of the young men they had stuck in the silt, searching over their body.

“How come each person only has a couple bottles…?”

Ye Fan and Pang Bo searched their whole bodies, but each person only had five bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid, which wasn’t even as much as the previous youngsters. Their unsatisfied attitudes caused the surrounding people to not know what to say.

This was the day that all the cliffs sent out Hundred Herb Liquid. According to the level of the cultivation base, different amounts of Hundred Herb Liquid would be given out. The fact that these few people had five bottles was already quite good.

Li Fei and Wang Jing still hadn’t left, so they saw everything happening before them. The two of them glanced at each other, not knowing what to say. They had never seen such unconventional junior brothers.

The few young men were powerlessly lying on the ground without even the energy to crawl up. After plundering them, Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance before randomly throwing them back into the lotus pond. But this time they didn’t bury them headfirst since they were afraid one of them might lose their life if too much time passed. They also dug out the other youngsters out before tossing them back in.

Afterwards, Ye Fan and Pang Bo arrived in front of the Green Wood Seal. They could move it if they used all their strength, but it was too heavy. Even if they could lift it, it couldn’t be used in fights. After kicking it a couple times, they turned and left.

Everyone could only foolishly stare in a daze. These two were practically greedy locusts! In front of everyone, they weren’t afraid or embarrassed at all, simply sucking all of their attackers completely dry. They even wanted to take the Green Wood Seal…

“Senior sister Li Fei, senior brother Wang Jing, many thanks!” After Ye Fan and Pang Bo managed to squeeze out of the ground, they shouted their thanks and quickly left.

Han Feiyu’s face was ashen, and his heart was raging. He didn’t even return to pick up his Green Wood Seal before directly entering a valley deep in the Spirit Ruins Paradise.

The valley was very wide. Flourishing and densely packed medicinal fields were everywhere, and medicinal fragrance filled the air. The valley was filled with rare and precious medicinal ingredients. Where spiritual medicines were growing, their medicinal fragrances and essence would overflow, causing the place to practically become a spiritual valley.

There were some medicinal apprentices who greeted Han Feiyu on the way, but he didn’t even acknowledge them as he gloomily and directly went straight towards an immortal cave deep within the valley. The medicinal fragrance was even denser here. Eighteen medicinal cauldrons were arranged outside the immortal cave, each half the height of a person. He didn’t know what kind of metal they were forged out of, but they appeared both heavy and simple.

“Yu-er, what happened to you?” an aged voice asked from the depths of the immortal cave. Although no one came out, the owner of the aged voice seemed to be able to sense everything that happened outside.

“One of two has been named an immortal sprout…” Han Feiyu stood outside the immortal cave, gnashing his teeth in anger as he gave his great uncle a detailed report.

“If only I had found out earlier that these two had eaten a sacred medicine, all I would have needed was a bit of their blood. It’s a shame that I learned about it too late. It’s now slightly troublesome.” Elder Han stopped here for a long time before once more saying, “That immortal sprout…don’t bother him. As for the other one, wait longer and observe him.”

“Great uncle’s meaning is that…” Han Feiyu’s eyes immediately lit up.

“My meaning is that you still can’t do anything to them, so for now you should just properly cultivate.” After saying, the immortal cave once more became silent.

“Yes!” Han Feiyu was extremely unwillingly, but he didn’t dare to go against the words of Elder Han. Bowing towards the immortal cave, he turned around and left.

Once Ye Fan and Pang Bo returned home, the two of them examined their spoils. In all, they made a great windfall of sixty-six bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid.

“That Han dude is really a good guy…,” the two of them praised their opponents.

After putting the jade bottles in order, they slowly calmed down. Although they had beaten Han Feiyu and the others, it had still been an intense crisis. Their bodies might possess a great strength, and they might be far mightier than mortals, but compared to those who had cultivated a trace of divine energy and could use mystical arts and divine abilities, they were still somewhat lacking.

Right now, they absolutely had to painstakingly cultivate. Establish the Sea of Bitterness, connect to the Wheel of Life, and allow the Divine Spring to flow forth. Only once you could control your Divine Energy Spring could you become strong. That was the goal of all cultivators.

Having experienced such a crisis, the two of them naturally wished to grow stronger. They strove even harder in their cultivation. Over the next two days, Pang Bo drank six bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid. Paired with the cultivation mystical arts from the Dao Scripture, his Sea of Bitterness finally became as large as a fist. However, when he drank the seventh bottle, he immediately felt unwell. The Qi in his Sea of Bitterness became disorderly, and a needle-like pain spread.

“Crap, I was too hasty. The lecturing Elder said that disciples who just entered the sect couldn’t use too much of the Hundred Herb Liquid. Looks like there was a reason why they only gave out one bottle per three months…” Pang Bo’s brow was covered in sweat as he bitterly endured.

“I’ll go find someone.” Ye Fan was just about to run out the door.

“No, I can endure this.” Pang Bo persevered in not finding anyone. His pain lasted for over half a day before it slowly faded. He bitterly smiled. “Looks like it’s true: food can only be eaten step by step and journeys can only be made step by step. A normal disciple can only drink one bottle every three months. I’m an immortal sprout and managed to drink six bottles. I guess it already counts as abnormal.”

A strange expression then appeared on Pang Bo’s face. “You also drank seven bottles. How come you don’t feel any pain? All I see is that your spirit, Qi, and vitality are becoming fuller and fuller. Do you really not sense anything from your Sea of Bitterness?”

Ye Fan shook his head. His Wheel of Life and Sea of Bitterness continued to be completely silent without the slightest fluctuation. The only good thing about cultivating the Dao Scripture for him was that his spirit, Qi, and vitality were growing more and more abundant.

“Since nothing strange is happening to you even after drinking seven bottles, you’re probably far from your limit. You should continue drinking it in larger amounts. Maybe there might be some fantastic effect.”

“How could that be fine? With my physique, no matter how much Hundred Herb Liquid I drink, it’ll all be useless. It would be better to leave it for you for breakthroughs. It’ll allow you to reach the higher stage where your Divine Spring flows earlier.”

“Don’t worry. Since I’ve been labelled an immortal sprout, I definitely won’t be lacking in Hundred Herb Liquid. Senior Wu Qingfeng also said many times that mindset is the most important. He clearly knew my potential, but he still didn’t want me to feel superior, so he sent me to the Spirit Ruins Cliff to study. But now he probably feels my attitude has been sharpened enough, so things will probably change soon. I definitely won’t want for Hundred Herb Liquid.”

Pang Bo’s reasoning was very logical, and Ye Fan no longer declined. There was no need for excess politeness or unfamiliarity between the two of them, so he began to intake the Hundred Herb Liquid in large quantities.

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles…

Ye Fan continuously trained using the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts. Although he himself didn’t feel anything abnormal, a great and bizarre change was slowly taking place within his body.
