The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 34: Destroying It in Plants and Vegetation

All the Outer Sect disciples in the audience sneered in response to what Du Lingfei had just said. None of them believed that Bai Xiaochun's skill with plants and herbs might be able to match his skill.

That was especially true after hearing the last thing he said, which seemed really unbelievable. Clearly, Bai Xiaochun would only second-guess the grafted plant.

“If Bai Xiaochun could really identify all those types of plants, then his expertise with the plants and vegetation of the first three volumes would put him on the same level as Elder Sister Zhou Xinqi! How could that happen !? ”

"Ah, he's just cryptic to confuse everyone. This guy is so shitty! At least he would eventually be declared a fraud! "

As everyone mocked and mocked Bai Xiaochun, he stood there, frowning slightly.

"Are you guys done?" he said, his expression cold, true anger finally burning his heart. If this was a battle situation, he would not feel that way. But given his great aspirations of becoming a master apothecary, for one to doubt his ability with plants and herbs was a great humiliation.

"You could say I was just lucky, and you could say I won because of my magic. But when it comes to Dao plants and herbs, don't think that your shallow knowledge allows you to see the length and width of heaven and earth! "

When his voice echoed, solemn and solemn, his small body suddenly looked like a towering mountain. The cold way he looked at the disciples of the Outer Sect caused their laughter to turn into shocked gazes.

Even Du Lingfei was surprised. Bai Xiaochun in front of him now looked like a completely different person from the one before.

Bai Xiaochun let out a cold snort and then flicked his sleeve. Leaving behind his usually charming yet annoying behavior, he stood with his hands clasped behind, looked around coldly, and then began to speak, emitting a strange and indescribable energy. “This spirit plant, which I designate as a black-and-white orchid, contains gold silver roots, bottom leaves, juicy netgrass, ninelands fruit, spiral pulp, bordercloud bloom, wind-seeking stalk, etc, fruit soaked wet..”.

As he continued to speak, the energy grew increasingly stronger, leading to strange expressions on the faces of the spectators.

That was especially true for Du Lingfei, who frowned as he looked towards the spirit plant. He was familiar with all the medicinal plants that Bai Xiaochun referred to, which were indeed of the first three volumes of plants and vegetation, as well, however he could not see any evidence that they were inside the grafted plant.

Du Lingfei snorted, still completely unconvinced that Bai Xiaochun had actually identified the grafted plant. “It looks like you really will just recite a random group of plants from the first three volumes of plants and herbs. If you can actually recite all those plants from memory, then I guess I will lose, and in fact, I will admit defeat. "

Everyone started again mocking and mocking Bai Xiaochun.

"Yes that's right. If you are good enough, then why don't you read the entire first three volumes of plants and vegetation !? Then you will definitely win! "

"Efforts to seem vague, huh? A superficial knowledge? The length and breadth of heaven and earth? you have a shallow knowledge. If you don't recognize a plant, just say so. No need to try to pull that fast. How despicable! ”

Bai Xiaochun looked at Du Lingfei coldly, then returned to the crowd. Then he laughed, looked back and the plant, and continued, “Grow a hundred grass stems for thirty years until it becomes a full hundred stems. Remove the stems and veins, roast them, then soak them in spirit water. After that, graft them onto the skybleak leaves, and you end up with this distinctive spotting pattern. " Bai Xiaochun waved his hand, causing a slight gust of wind to lift one of the leaves on the plant, revealing a characteristic spotting pattern.

“Nine leaves of skybleak have been combined into one leaf, and then fed chrysanthemum flowers as they grow.You can see them here!

“The antelope flowers only bloom once they reach the age of one hundred years. When they do, you only have a hundred breaths of time to graft them onto clover ginseng, which you can use to feed the skybleak leaves. This white flower is definitely a chrysanthemum flower!

“The clover of ginseng, when roasted with spirit fire, finally withered, infusing ginseng with leaf essence. It will then help in the growth of clam seeds, and the two can be combined!

"Then, the shellfish seeds were …." As Bai Xiaochun spoke, he pointed gracefully, showing the various parts of the spirit plant that contained the evidence he was referring to. The description is very precise, and even covers the various techniques involved. Immediately, the look of scorn faded, and everyone began to breathe heavily. Faces fell, and finally, all of the Outer Sect disciples had faces of disbelief on their faces. There were even some people who shouted loudly in shock.

"It's impossible!!"

"Heaven, how could he do this !?"

Every statement that Bai Xiaochun uttered was like an invisible palm slapping these people. After all, they were all apprentice apothecaries. Previously, they were unable to see through the secrets hidden in the spirit factory, but with Bai Xiaochun's detailed explanation, suddenly, it seemed more plausible.

Everything Bai Xiaochun said was true, and complete. His appearance was like a huge slap on the faces of all the disciples of the Outer Sect.

"I can't believe that this Bai Xiaochun .. has surprising skills with plants and herbs !!" The Outer Sect disciples felt like explosions were exploding in their hearts. Their earlier scorn and ridicule now caused their faces to burn so hot that it hurt.

What is even more surprising is that the explanation is clearly inverted. He could discern the grafting method just by looking at the grafted plants; only someone with extraordinarily advanced skills with plants and herbs could do such a thing.

"He was only an apprentice apothecary, yet he was able to analyze the spirit plants grafted by the peak master himself. This ... this …. "

As for Li Qinghou, his eyes shone brightly; he could hardly believe he was looking at the same Bai Xiaochun he knew before.

Du Lingfei's face was pale, and he staggered backwards. Based on his expertise with plants and herbs, once he heard Bai Xiaochun's explanation, he knew that he was right. In fact, at some point during his speech, he did not even understand what he was saying. At this point, he felt really and really embarrassed.

Currently, Bai Xiaochun did not use any magical techniques. However, every statement he made was supported by his understanding of plants and herbs, and became like a divine ability or a miraculous thing. Du Lingfei was unable to process what happened. He felt like lightning was grabbing in his mind, and he retreated further and further, his face growing paler.

“Flaming crow-strewn and nine sky flames can be used to make spirit balls resistant to strong sunlight. Combine them into ravens, and it will give birth to blackskull lily! It was the last spirit plant I knew. ” Bai Xiaochun took half the time it took to burn the incense to finish his explanation. His eyes lit up like lightning as he scanned the crowd and finally looked straight at Du Lingfei.

“Older Sister Du. Ladies and gentlemen of the sect. The dao of plants and vegetation was deep and profound, and did not contain an absolute. If that's not the case, it's impossible for you to make progress with your skills with plants and herbs. However, you actually want me to list all the plants in the first three volumes of plants and herbs. What is so hard about that ?! " Putting his jaw, he flicked his sleeve and began to read.

Bamboo Spiritwinter ….

"Earthdragon fruit ….

"Incroot …." His voice was clear and his expression was calm as he spoke. Total silence filled the arena. As his words echoed, they were like huge invisible hands hitting everyone a second time.

Everyone present was filled with deep embarrassment, and gasps could be heard. Some people even took out jade slips with information about plants and vegetation, which they compared to what Bai Xiaochun had said. Immediately, they began to tremble, and their shock increased.

Du Lingfei's face was deathly pale as he retreated, staring at Bai Xiaochun as if he were a ghost.

The reason he had said such cynical words before was because he had never seen anyone actually reciting the 30,000 kinds of medicinal herbs. To him, that seemed impossible. If one could really do that, then they should already possess a truly heaven-defying skill with plants and herbs.

As time passed, Bai Xiaochun spoke more and faster. With almost one breath, he spoke for two hours straight. To the audience, it almost seemed like there was no time at all, and almost everyone took out a jade slip to study along with Bai Xiaochun's recitation. [1. Okay, so I'm counting, and for him to recite 30,000 words in two hours would require him to say more than four plants per second. the fastest speaker in the world can speak about eight words per second, so it is not impossible!]

After two hours, he finished reading all the medicinal herbs. Then, there was a deathly silence for a moment, followed by an explosive explosion that sounded even outside the arena.

"Heaven …. Not a single mistake! She was completely right ... I can't believe I just watched this happen !! "

“All 30,000 medicinal plants…. Bai Xiaochun's skill with plants and herbs was quite surprising. Wait ... what is the ranking on stone inscriptions of plants and herbs? ”

"For Du Lingfei to compete with Bai Xiaochun in skill with plants and herbs was like throwing an egg at a stone!"

As the commotion continued, Du Lingfei looked at Bai Xiaochun with increasing bitterness. His reaction to losing a fight did not lead to this kind of feeling. But right now, in terms of skills with plants and herbs, he had been completely defeated.

How could he imagine that Bai Xiaochun, with his incredible luck and many magical items, would be truly so monumental in front of him in skill with plants and herbs?

It was a huge blow to him, and he could not help but laugh. He threw the Cloudsoaring Incense, then turned around and fled the arena. It was impossible for him to consider staying, given how embarrassed he was.

Now that Du Lingfei was gone, the other Outer Sect disciples around him started to feel even more embarrassed. They quickly clasped their hands and bowed to Bai Xiaochun, then hurried away. It was easy to imagine how long the shock they felt would last.

Soon, the arena was almost empty. Bai Xiaochun was the only one left behind, coughing dryly. He realized ... that he actually did it this time. Getting rid of the Cloudsoaring Incense, he looked at Li Qinghou carefully.

"Murid .. will leave now," he said, turning around and leaving so quickly that he almost left a cloud of dust.

Elder Sun watched Bai Xiaochun leave, and the shock in his eyes was still obvious.

"God's peak, this child .. is amazing!" she said softly.

Li Qinghou threw his head back and laughed loudly, then waved his sleeve and shot back up the mountain.
