Jiang Chen knew that during the Qi Province competition, Guan Yiyun had suffered a severe blow from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It had left a shadow in the heart of this genius who had always stood high above the masses. Therefore, Guan Yiyun's trip to Inferno Hell could be considered as a desperate gamble. If he couldn't become a hero, he would become a bear.
Jiang Chen knew that although Guan Yiyun was also a rare genius, compared to those monstrous geniuses from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was still a huge gap between them. Perhaps the gap between them wasn't very obvious right now, but in the future, it would only get bigger and bigger.
Some people were born to shine brightly, and some were born to be mediocre. Just like an emperor and a beggar, this was fate.
Jiang Chen didn't unleash his blood wings, he just walked down the mountain. The Black Sect had a nice scenery, so he could enjoy the scenery along the way. It made him feel relaxed and relaxed. It was rare for Jiang Chen to have such a leisure time.
At the foot of Palace Black, there was a quiet path. The path was winding, and it went through the entire Black Mountain Range, like a spirit snake lying dormant.
Jiang Chen walked on the path with light steps. He could feel the rich natural Yuan energy, and he couldn't help but circulate the Dragon Transformation skill.
After walking for about an hour, a faint herbal fragrance suddenly came from afar. Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel shocked.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked towards the source of the medicinal aroma. Not far away from him, there was a mountain peak that wasn't too tall, and the medicinal aroma was coming from that mountain peak. Looking at it from his position, the mountain peak was filled with verdant hills and clear waters. The scenery was alluring, and it was obviously much livelier than the other mountains. There was an old pine tree growing on the peak of the mountain, and it was as thick as three strong men. It was at least 200 to 300 years old.
This mountain stood alone, and it was full of vitality. It was fascinating. Jiang Chen couldn't help but walk towards the mountain.
As Jiang Chen walked into the mountain peak, the smell of herbs became even stronger. When Jiang Chen walked halfway up the mountain, he saw many strange flowers and herbs growing everywhere. There was a Blood Ginseng that was three hundred years old. If this kind of herb was placed in Red City, it would be a priceless treasure. But here, it was casually planted halfway up the mountain.
"Looks like this is where the herbs of the Black Sect are grown. No wonder I can smell such a strong herbal fragrance. I've received special permission from Daoist Black to enter Palace Black. Since I can enter Palace Black, there shouldn't be any place in the Black Sect that I can't enter."
Jiang Chen thought to himself as he walked towards the top of the mountain. No matter if it was his previous life or his current life, in the eyes of others, Jiang Chen was a domineering king with powerful combat strength. However, people had forgotten that he was also a Saint level alchemist. Jiang Chen rarely concocted pills, and in his previous life, he only concocted pills for himself.
Although his combat strength had covered up the fact that he was an alchemist, Jiang Chen's skill in concocting pills was one of a kind. In the entire Saint Origin realm, there weren't many people who could compare with him in concocting pills.
Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the top of the mountain without making a sound. What greeted him was a completely different scene. Everywhere he looked, there were all kinds of rare flowers and herbs, and not far away from him, there was a huge herb garden with a circumference of one mile. All kinds of ordinary and rare herbs were planted in this garden.
At the center of the mountain peak, an exquisite courtyard stood alone. This kind of scene gave off a kind of otherworldly feeling.
Right now, in front of the herb garden, there was an old man squatting down. This old man looked to be in his fifties, and he was plump. There was no beard on his face, and his face was glossy and full of energy.
However, the plump old man had a worried expression on his face. His eyes were fixated on two herbs at the edge of the herb garden. These two herbs were only the size of a palm, and they were listless and lifeless.
"Why is this happening? Why aren't they growing? "
The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Damn it, I've been using the Cloud and Rain Spell to water you all every day, and I've channeled my Yuan energy into you. I've also chosen the best place for you to grow, but not only are you not growing, you're even wilting day by day. Why is this happening?"
The old man felt depressed, and the more he talked, the angrier he got. He wished he could just grab these two herbs, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Hmph! I don't believe there's a herb that I, Guo Shan, can't grow! "
The old man let out a cold snort. This man's name was Guo Shan, and he was the highest ranked alchemist in the Black Sect. He was a Divine Core alchemist, and he had a mountain all to himself. In the entire Black Sect, Guo Shan had a very important status. Many of the young alchemists were trained by him, and even Daoist Black had to be polite to him.
"If you plant the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus together, it'll be a miracle if they can grow. In my opinion, these two herbs will die in less than a month."
A voice suddenly sounded out from behind.
"Who's that?"
Guo Shan immediately stood up and turned around. He saw a young man wearing white clothes standing behind him. He had been focusing on the two herbs just now, and he didn't pay any attention to what was happening behind him. Besides, this mountain wasn't a place that ordinary disciples could climb.
Guo Shan carefully sized up Jiang Chen, and when he realized he was only at the Mortal Core realm, he couldn't help but furrow his brows, "An outer circle disciple, do you know where this place is?"
Guo Shan was really angry, because he wasn't in a good mood. The Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus were both top quality herbs, and he had spent a lot of effort to get them. But now, he couldn't grow them, and they were in danger of dying at any moment, so of course he was in a good mood.
"I came here after smelling the herbs. Disciple Jiang Chen greets Sect Elder."
Jiang Chen cupped his fist towards Guo Shan.
"Jiang Chen? You're the new disciple who got first place in the Qi Province competition, Jiang Chen? "
Guo Shan's eyes lit up. Although he didn't usually care about the internal affairs of the Black Sect, he still knew about Jiang Chen's big news.
"Yes, I am."
Jiang Chen nodded his head.
After knowing Jiang Chen's real identity, Guo Shan's attitude towards him had become much better. If it was any other outer circle disciple who trespassed the mountain without permission, Guo Shan would have slapped him away.
But Jiang Chen was different. A genius would always be valued no matter where he went.
"You know the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus? Young man, you have good eyes!"
Guo Shan praised. In fact, the main reason why he didn't slap Jiang Chen and send him flying was because Jiang Chen had recognized these two herbs. The Flaming Angel and the Flourishing First-Grade Lotus were just seedlings, and even ordinary alchemists wouldn't be able to recognize them with just a single glance.
"I know a thing or two."
Jiang Chen smiled and slowly walked towards the herb garden. When he saw the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Guo Shan praised in his mind. This young man in front of him was only a Mortal Core warrior, but he didn't show any signs of nervousness in front of a Divine Core Sect Elder. Just this calmness alone was enough to make anyone admire him.
"Jiang Chen, did you just say that the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus can't be planted together? I want to know why, both of them are pure Yang herbs, why can't they be planted together? "
Guo Shan asked with great interest. He wanted to see what Jiang Chen had to say.
"It's simple. The Flaming Angel is a scorching Yang herb, no matter if it's a seedling or a mature stage, it's a pure Yang herb. The Glorious Lotus is a bit more gentle, so if you plant them together, the Flaming Angel's Yang energy will suppress the Glorious Lotus' growth."
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Guo Shan's eyes lit up. His impression of Jiang Chen had improved. The fact that Jiang Chen was able to analyze the characteristics of the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus so thoroughly proved that Jiang Chen had a certain level of understanding towards herbs.
"Even if what you said is true, and the Flaming Angel is suppressing the growth of the Glorious Lotus, the Flaming Angel should be growing really fast. Why isn't it growing, and why is it facing the danger of death?"
Guo Shan continued asking. He really wanted to know the reason. If not, with his status, he would never ask an outer circle disciple for advice.
"This is even simpler. The Glorious Lotus is a combination of the Flourishing Lotus King and the Tianshan Snow Lotus, that's why it's called the Glorious Lotus. During the mature stage, because the Flourishing Lotus King completely suppresses the Tianshan Snow Lotus, it's a pure Yang herb. However, during the seedling stage, both the Flourishing Lotus King and the Tianshan Snow Lotus are present. In other words, the Glorious Lotus in front of you is not only a pure Yang herb, but it also has the cold attribute of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. That's why it's blocking the growth of the Flaming Angel. By planting the Fire Dragon Fruit and the Glorious Lotus together, you're basically trying to kill them."
Jiang Chen said with a calm expression. Guo Shan was startled upon hearing this. His mouth was wide open as he stared at this young man in front of him, as if he was looking at a ghost. He really didn't want to admit that this young man in front of him actually had a higher attainment in the field of alchemy than him.
"What kind of monster is this young man? How can he know so much about herbs? I only know that the mature stage of the Glorious Lotus is a pure Yang herb, but I don't know its origin. This young man even knows about the Flourishing Lotus King! "
Guo Shan was shocked. He believed Jiang Chen's words without a doubt. In other words, as a highly respected alchemist of the Black Sect, he had just been taught a very important lesson by this young man.
"Jiang Chen, where did you learn all these things?"
Guo Shan asked.
"Sect Elder, don't you know that there are people called geniuses in this world? I'm a genius. "
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, you're really a genius, even I, your father, am impressed by you. Tell me, can my Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus still be saved?"
Guo Shan asked impatiently.
"Yes, you can. Plant them in different herb gardens. Both the Flaming Angel and the Glorious Lotus are high quality herbs, and they have strong vitality. You don't need to help them grow, they will grow by themselves."
Jiang Chen said.
"Jiang Chen, let me ask you another question. How do I combine the Single Wheat Grass and the Yellow Stone Fruit, so that the furnace won't explode?"
Guo Shan asked in a probing manner. He wanted to see if Jiang Chen knew everything.
"Sect Elder, you're going to concoct the Yellow Spirit Pill, right? The Single Wheat Grass and the Yellow Stone Fruit have opposite characteristics, and it's very difficult to combine them together. Adding in the First Grade Crystal Sand, you'll be able to combine their characteristics. That way, the furnace won't explode, and the Yellow Spirit Pill's grade will be improved."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he saw Guo Shan standing there in a daze.
