Planting Spirit Herbs

Ling Feng felt his mind ruffled as he was bombarded with a load of information on his present state.

*I'm awakening from a thousand years of slumber... Zhen Yujun's clone was eventually killed by me and as for Yue'er...she's gone?*

*...Those bastards have seized the control of Azure Thunder Continent and muddled up deceit with truth. Feng Yin and Xue Ying, you and I can no longer live under the same heaven much longer. I will personally eliminate you both for the redemption of Azure Thunder Continent*

All manner of thoughts wandered in Ling Feng's mind and it took quite some time to remain stable and collected again.

"Master Xing Moyu saved my life and I don't think I will ever be able to repay him for that... the only way is to stop the Dark Sovereign but that's for the bleak future as even I am unaware of what might happen to me out there after a millennium has passed" Ling Feng staggered out from below the Absolute Yin Divine Cliff and arrived at an open portal left by Xing Moyu to teleport him out of the land below.

WHOOSH!

Ling Feng felt that he was suddenly light as he floated within the harmless portal. In what was barely a second later, he landed with a thud onto the ground. Where he landed was in a huge patch of grass.

The means at which the grass was planted and trained proved that his surroundings was possibly a farm.

*This is the new life Xing Moyu planned out for me?... It seems boring but I might still have to put up with it for now*

Ling Feng thoughtfully consoled within himself after arriving in the strictly foreign environment.

"Feng Ling...Feng Ling" a distressed voice erupted and awoke Ling Feng from his thoughts.

"Feng Ling, this is the alias that Xing Moyu left behind for my use to avoid the eagle like surveillance from the Dark Wind Emperor and the Nether Ice Empress" without any hesitation, Ling Feng ran off towards the source of the voice.

The caller from before was right in front of him and what he saw was a chubby middle aged man wearing a bamboo hat and looking coldly at him.

*Mister Lu Xing?* Ling Feng's mind buzzed as he quickly recognized the figure in front of him. The chubby middle aged man was the one in charge of supervision of the planting of herbs in this region.

Where he was currently at was the property of the Rainfall Merchant Group that dealt with the trade of spirit herbs within the locality. There used to be a Feng Ling who was employed here but Xing Moyu was the creator of this supposed employee.

Coincidentally, the facial modification on Ling Feng was set just to suit the appearance of this Ling Feng. After Ling Feng awoke, the latter was taken away and replaced by Ling Feng.

"Feng Ling, I really think you are no longer fit for working in this place after this long period of unsuccessfulness towards the planting of this spiritual herbs and plants." Lu Xing spoke coldly as he gazed at Ling Feng. The pressure of a ninth stage Body Tempering practitioner was released by him.

WHOOSH!

Being faced with the outright pressure although being six minor realms lower than Lu Xing, Ling Feng only slid backward a few steps. A solemn look appeared on his face as he clasped his hands with a slight bow.

"Mister Lu Xing, I really have not been feeling so well lately and I had to take a rest, but now I am getting much better" Ling Feng cooked up a story to cover up the real truth from Lu Xing.

HMPH!

With a cold snort, Lu Xing turned his head up and cast a look of disdain towards Ling Feng who was six realms lower than himself.

"In three days time, the boss intends to auction the Ninety Year Old Blood Spirit Herb, the Qi Gathering Spirit Herb and the Azure Demon Glow Lotus... with all this wasted days of rest, how do you intend to make up for this?" Lu Xing asked with a sneer.

"Mister Lu Xing, I will certainly put in my best efforts to see that we achieve impressive results by then..." Ling Feng said seriously but without a shred of nervousness.

"That's none of my concern, and please do know that if you fail to succeed with your deliveries, you might as well go find some means to feed. We can't keep in retaining trash like you" Lu Xing spoke in dismissal and arrogance before leaving Ling Feng.

A cold and icy air was released from the vexed Ling Feng. But on remembering his purpose for returning, he decided to let the sleeping dogs lie and treat the matter just as though it never took place before.

As for cultivating herbs, he simply had not acquired the skills required in planting herbs while being a prince. The Ninety Year Old Blood Spirit Herb, the Qi Gathering Spirit Herb and the Azure Demon Glow Lotus were like completely foreign names to him.

But looking at the patch of plants around him, he knew the three herbs must be somewhere around, however he could not figure out just what they were or what they could be.

"Little Fool, I remembered your little sister gave you a whole manual on herbs and how to specifically cultivate them in the shortest time possible hmph!" an indifferent voice snorted in his brain but Ling Feng could not trace its source.

*Nature Book?...*

Ling Feng pondered and immediately figured that he had once memorized a nature book on herb cultivation and pill refinement. At that time, he was completely uninterested as it was not a princely thing to memorize about planting spirit and saint herbs.

As for alchemy, there wasn't a need for that as he had his own alchemist guild that refined pellets for him. Out of reluctance and to please his sister, he unwillingly compromised to memorize but he showed no effort in cultivating this technique any further. o

But after a millennium, he was simply out of proportion and from being a prince, he was now a farmer boy planting spiritual herbs.

This life was simply brutal and ruthless to all on its path without concern for the highly or the weak. Even if it was the cost of regression, he would not hesitate to re-cultivate and surpass his previous peak in order to get his revenge on all who forced his family to their current state.

"Heavenly Altering Scripture of World Vitality..." Ling Feng recalled the name of this technique.

The skill was easy to practice in its earlier stages after which one could condense a nature seed in their bodies. With the help of the nature seed that would later come to germinate in the future, one could accelerate the growth of herbs and pill refining in an exaggerated five times above the normal conditions.

*This is simply awesome and the right thing I need for this lonely journey of mine haha...*

Ling Feng could hardly contain his joy after reading the description of the technique.
