"These herbs are Blood Spirit Grass, and those are Illusory Sun Grass …"
"These herbs are Evil Heart Flowers, and they are highly poisonous. I can't touch them with my hands …"
Ji Tianxing stood on the roof, bent down to identify the herbs, and carefully tidied them up.
He had studied the Thousand Medicine Collection diligently before, and now he could identify more than a thousand herbs.
Therefore, he was no stranger to the tens of thousands of herbs on the roof.
When he had to tidy up the Evil Heart Flowers, he had to tear a piece of cloth from his robe and wrap it up to avoid being poisoned if he touched it with his hands.
After a while, he jumped from the roof back to the courtyard with a dozen herbs in his left hand and a dozen Evil Heart Flowers wrapped in cloth in his right hand.
The alchemy room was next to the lobby, and it was an extremely spacious and bright room.
After Ji Tianxing entered the alchemy room, he saw three alchemy furnaces of different sizes in the center of the room.
The smallest alchemy furnace was only the size of a washbasin, and it was made of brass and other materials.
The largest black alchemy furnace was more than three meters tall, and it looked ancient and very mysterious.
On the four walls of the alchemy room, there were rows of hidden compartments of different sizes, and each compartment was engraved with the name of a herb.
There were at least 3,600 hidden compartments on the four walls, and they were used to store more than 3,600 kinds of herbs.
Obviously, these were the alchemy room's medicine cabinets.
Ji Tianxing stared at the countless hidden compartments on the wall, and after searching for a full quarter of an hour, he found the hidden compartment that stored the Blood Spirit Grass, Illusory Sun Grass, and Evil Heart Flowers, and put these three herbs in.
Then, he walked out of the alchemy room, jumped to the roof on the west side, and bent down to continue identifying the herbs.
Although he could recognize most of the herbs, there were a few that he had not seen before.
He could only flip through the Thousand Medicine Collection and identify the herbs that he did not recognize.
Time passed quietly, and the sun in the sky gradually set in the west.
After two hours, Ji Tianxing had only tidied up more than 400 herbs, and identified more than 50 kinds.
At this speed, it would take him at least three days to finish tidying up the tens of thousands of herbs on the roof.
There was nothing he could do about it. During this period of time, he encountered two medicinal herbs that he did not recognize. He could only patiently read through the Thousand Medicine Collection to find the answer.
At this moment, Xiang Wuji's voice came from the hall again. The old man was clearly getting impatient.
"Brat! How long will it take for you to finish cleaning up the herbs if you keep dawdling like this? "
Ji Tianxing was also a little anxious and angry. He held a palm-sized dark brown herb and explained to Wuji, "Senior, this junior has already done his best."
"However, when I encounter herbs that I don't recognize, I can only look at the Thousand Herb Collection to identify them. I don't dare to place them randomly!"
Xiang Wuji sneered and said contemptuously, "You don't even know the Five Lights Ganoderma, and you still have the nerve to say that you've seen the Thousand Medicine Collection?"
"The Five Lights Ganoderma grows on dry rocks facing the sun. It contains earth and fire elemental energy of heaven and earth. It's the main ingredient for refining the Wind Fire Xuan Pill and Good Dust Xuan Pill …"
Although Xiang Wuji's tone was unfriendly, he casually mentioned the name of the herb, its growth characteristics and effects.
This saved Ji Tianxing a lot of time.
He listened carefully to Xiang Wuji's words and memorized the appearance, effects and characteristics of the Five Lights Ganoderma.
Following this, his speed of cleaning up the herbs was indeed much faster.
Another two hours passed. Ji Tianxing had cleaned up another thousand herbs and identified more than seventy herbs.
However, he quickly encountered more than ten herbs that he didn't recognize.
He wanted to ask Xiang Wuji, but when he thought of Xiang Wuji's bad attitude and tone, he dismissed the idea.
He squatted on the roof and flipped through the Thousand Herb Collection, trying to find the answer in the book.
Fifteen minutes passed. Ji Tianxing found a herb called the Demon Spirit Flower in the Thousand Herb Collection. It was very similar to the herb in his hand.
However, after careful identification and comparison, he realized that the herb in his hand wasn't the Demon Spirit Flower. It was just very similar.
Ji Tianxing had no choice but to continue flipping through the Thousand Herb Collection.
Very quickly, an hour passed.
He finished flipping through half of the Thousand Herb Collection, but still found nothing.
At this time, Xiang Wuji's voice rang out in the hall.
"Kid, don't waste your time. Even if you turn the Thousand Herb Collection upside down, you won't find the answer!
"The herb in your hand is very precious. It's called the God Flame Herb. This herb isn't recorded in the Thousand Herb Collection, nor in the Spiritual Herb Garden …"
Ji Tianxing silently listened. He memorized the appearance of the God Flame Herb and what Xiang Wuji said.
Unknowingly, eight hours passed.
The sun had set and the sky was dark. Night was about to fall.
Ji Tianxing worked hard for eight hours. In total, he had cleaned up more than five thousand herbs and identified more than seven hundred types.
However, even with his hard work, he had only completed a third of the task.
His heart was a little uneasy. He was secretly guessing how the damned old man would react.
After a while, Xiang Wuji brought Qian Yue out of the hall and into the courtyard.
He glanced at the herbs on the roof and said calmly, "It's getting dark. You should go back to the Storm Courtyard. Come back tomorrow and continue working!"
Ji Tianxing was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiang Wuji to not be angry.
He hesitated and asked, "Senior, the herbs are still on the roof. There will be dew at night. It won't do to soak the herbs …"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a shocking scene.
Xiang Wuji casually waved his hand and sent out an invisible force. It wrapped around the countless herbs on the roof.
The ten thousand herbs flew in front of Xiang Wuji and flowed into the black thumb ring on his left hand.
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Wuji had collected the ten thousand herbs.
The whole process was very easy. To him, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
After collecting the herbs, Xiang Wuji turned and left with Qian Yue.
Ji Tianxing stared at Xiang Wuji's back in shock. After a long time, he came back to his senses.
"Ah! That damned old man! "
"He could have collected all the herbs with a wave of his hand, but he made me jump up and down on the roof for the whole afternoon. He's doing this on purpose! Too hateful! "
Ji Tianxing was very angry and ashamed. He clenched his fists and roared in his heart.
A moment later, Xiang Wuji and Qian Yue disappeared into the depths of the palace.
Ji Tianxing could only suppress the anger in his heart and leave the Great An Palace before it got dark.
When he returned to the Wind Cloud Courtyard, it was already dark.
When he returned to his room, he collapsed on the bed to rest. He didn't even want to move a finger.
Today in the Great An Palace, he had been attacked by the old man's sword energy and had almost used up all his True Essence.
Then he had been punished to collect the herbs on the roof. He had jumped up and down a few hundred times. He was already exhausted.
Fortunately, after he ate dinner, he recovered his strength.
After eating, he sat at the table and thought about what had happened during the day.
"Although today in the Great An Palace, I was miserably messed with by that damned old man. I was so tired that my bones were about to fall apart."
"But thinking about it carefully, I remembered more than a thousand herbs today. I also recognized two herbs that were not in the Thousand Medicine Collection."
"That damned old man attacked me with his sword energy and forced me to use a light body technique on the roof. It also increased my reaction and speed a lot. I can also use the light body technique more easily."
"It seems that a difficult situation can train a person. If I had been in secluded cultivation in my room, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this effect. I wouldn't have improved so quickly …"
