C179 Sneak Attack During the Chaos
As time passed, more and more medicinal herbs were collected by the Cultivating Warrior. All the alchemists had already started concocting pills, and it was beyond their expectations. Lin Cheng had the most medicinal herbs. Many of the medicinal herbs were either intentionally or unintentionally sent to Lin Cheng's side.
A cold light flashed across Zhu Ziqiao's beautiful eyes. She could naturally tell that Lin Cheng had offended Tai Wenxing, which meant that he had offended all the Cultivating Warrior.
"As expected!"
Suddenly, an alchemist shouted out in surprise.
Tai Wenxing quickly asked, "What happened?"
The alchemist glanced at Lin Cheng, who was concocting pills not far away, with a complicated expression on his face. He then said, "Senior Brother Tai, the medicinal properties of this Three Leaf Vine are exactly the same as what Pill Master Lin said. Its effects are even stronger than the Three Leaf Vine in the outside world. The quality of the pill refined is a level higher!"
There was a trace of emotion in his words. Lin Cheng's accurate analysis of the medicinal properties made him admire him and feel ashamed of being inferior to him.
When Tai Wenxing heard this, he could not help but pause for a moment. After that, he nodded and said, "Very good. Then make the best use of your time to refine. We don't have much time."
"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Tai. Refining pill is not difficult. We are all Cultivating Warriors, so the grade of the pill we need is not too high. It will not take much time."
After hesitating for a moment, the alchemist continued, "As long as Pill Master Lin is able to differentiate the medicinal properties as quickly as before, we will have a large amount of pill in a short period of time."
Hearing this, Tai Wenxing nodded, "Then let's continue."
Many people subconsciously looked at Lin Cheng, who was focusing on alchemy, with a complicated look in their eyes.
"Humph!"
Yan Wuqing let out a cold snort. His eyes were filled with indignation. Just because of Lin Cheng's words, his throat had almost been crushed by someone. Now that Lin Cheng had once again become the center of attention, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Yan Wudong glared at him and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we'll talk after the pill concoction is over."
Following the first alchemist to prove that Lin Cheng was able to discern the medicinal properties accurately, everyone began to focus on the pill refinement without worry. Meanwhile, the Cultivating Warrior continued to transport medicinal ingredients.
An hour later.
One hour.
Four hours...
About six hours later, Lin Cheng stopped concocting the pill, "Senior Brother Tai, it's time to end this."
Tai Wenxing frowned. "But there are still a lot of herbs..."
Lin Cheng said, "What we are refining now are the lowest level pill that can replenish Yuan Qi and heal injuries. The quantity can also let everyone get more than ten. It is sufficient for a few intense battles to consume. Continuing to refine will also be a waste of time. Rather than taking advantage of the fact that it is still early to explore further, it is better to take this opportunity to explore further. Perhaps we can find a suitable place to set up camp. "
Tai Wenxing's frown deepened. He waved his hand and said, "Follow the Cultivating Warrior of the alchemist and bring the medicinal herbs. Let's go!"
In the dense forest.
A hundred people formed a long line in the dense forest.
Lin Cheng and the other alchemists walked in the middle. Although the Cultivating Warrior in the vicinity was a little distant from him, compared to a few hours ago, there was less hostility and disgust in their eyes.
In just a few hours of concocting pills, these people had witnessed Lin Cheng's astonishing speed in identifying medicinal properties. Lin Cheng did not even need to smell many medicinal ingredients. With just a wave of his hand, he could accurately identify the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients.
That confidence and accuracy that came from being at ease caused even those who originally felt indignant to be secretly impressed.
This was especially so for some Cultivating Warrior who knew alchemy. Lin Cheng's method of distinguishing medicinal properties could be said to be miraculous.
One had to know that in order to determine the medicinal properties of an unfamiliar medicinal ingredient, at the very least, one had to refine it, causing the medicinal properties of the medicinal herb to be completely emitted. Only in this way could one make an accurate judgment. However, Lin Cheng used a simple method like eating and wearing clothes. He only took a look at the herbs and determined the medicinal properties.
When the other alchemists used the medicinal properties that Lin Cheng determined to refine the pill, it was actually exactly the same as what Lin Cheng said!
Even though Lin Cheng's speed when refining the pill was not very fast, and the quality of the pill that he refined was only slightly better than the other alchemists, it might not even be a grade higher, but it was already enough to make these Cultivating Warriors look at him in a new light.
In their point of view, perhaps Lin Cheng was still far from being an alchemist of Unification Sect, but at least among these ten Mortal Pill Masters, he could be considered an outstanding alchemist.
As for what an outstanding alchemist meant in this secret realm that was full of danger, anyone who wasn't an idiot should know, especially since he had such a magical way to distinguish medicinal properties!
At this critical moment, he could save lives!
Even Tai Wenxing's tensed expression eased slightly.
Although Lin Cheng had offended him, since he was appointed by the Unification Sect to be in charge of this mission, of course he's not the kind of guy who has no eyes. Therefore... Even though he didn't like Lin Cheng in his heart, he knew the importance of Lin Cheng.
However, not everyone secretly admired Lin Cheng. Yan Wudong and Yan Wuqing, who were walking together with the other Cultivating Warrior, had ugly expressions on their faces.
Initially, they thought that they would find an opportunity to kill Lin Cheng after entering the secret realm. That was why Yan Wuqing couldn't wait to deal with him the moment Lin Cheng spoke.
However, they never thought that Lin Cheng's ability to distinguish medicinal properties would be so outstanding. It even slightly changed the way all the Cultivating Warrior looked at him.
If they were to target Lin Cheng now, they weren't sure if those Cultivating Warriors would stand on their side.
Therefore, the two of them could only take a step back and ask for the second best. They could only let Lin Cheng live for a while longer. After the pill refinement, they would find an opportunity to kill him.
However, this matter had once again exceeded their expectations. Before the pill concoction was over, Lin Cheng had suggested to start the journey. Furthermore, Tai Wenxing had actually listened to Lin Cheng's suggestion.
"Why would Senior Brother Tai listen to that Lin Cheng?"
Yan Wuqing gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, feeling very indignant.
Yan Wudong also had a sullen face. He suppressed his voice and said in a muffled voice, "Because he knows alchemy!"
"But now that the pill has already been refined, why is it still..."
"Those are just pill that replenish Yuan Qi and hang on to one's life."
Yan Wudong said in a muffled voice, "I don't know how many dangers are ahead. I also don't know if there are other Heaven-earth Treasures. Senior Brother Tai probably wants Lin Cheng to help identify them."
Yan Wuqing gritted his teeth. He could only hate it in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
0
Lin Cheng had only shown his ability to identify medicinal properties, but it had already made everyone unable to leave him. Even those alchemists didn't seem to show any hostility or jealousy towards Lin Cheng. Yan Wuqing saw this and wished he could kill Lin Cheng right now.
"Just wait and see. There will always be a chance."
Yan Wudong's eyes carried a cold light as he said coldly, "The road ahead is full of danger. Perhaps it will take his life!"
"That's right!"
Yan Wuqing nodded. Then he thought of something and his eyes lit up. He could not help but ask, "Second brother, you mean to find an opportunity to kill..."
"Shut up!"
Yan Wudong's expression turned cold and he shouted in a low voice.
Yan Wuqing was stunned for a moment. He smiled awkwardly and did not speak anymore. However, there was excitement on his face and a trace of impatience in his eyes. Obviously, he was eager to meet a wild beast or a chaotic battle. Then, he could take the opportunity to kill Lin Cheng.
In this way, that delicate girl could become his exclusive property...
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deep and fierce roar interrupted Yan Wuqing's fantasy and startled him. He subconsciously looked up and saw a huge black shadow suddenly pouncing down from above.
"Be careful! There's a fierce beast!"
Someone shouted loudly, "It came down from the crown of the tree!"
No one expected that there would be a ferocious beast leaping down from the crown of the tree, and it was even so close to them.
Before the people nearby could even see the appearance of this ferocious beast, one person was instantly thrown to the ground.
"Attack! Kill it!"
Tai Wenxing furiously shouted. At the same time, the long sword in his hand had already been drawn out of its sheath. The nearby Cultivating Warrior also suddenly attacked.
"Roar!"
The ferocious beast sensed the danger and jumped away, pouncing on another person. That person roared loudly and immediately slashed at the fierce beast.
"Dang!"
The long blade slashed at the beast's claws and actually produced the sound of blades clashing.
Hu!
The beast's momentum did not decrease. It passed by that person and scuttled under a large tree, confronting everyone.
"Junior brother Chen! Junior brother Chen!"
At this time, the Cultivating Warrior that was the first to be pushed down by the ferocious beast was already covered in blood all over its body as it collapsed onto the ground. It was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
Tai Wenxing's expression was gloomy as he roared, "Kill this beast!"
"Roar!!"
The beast raised its head and roared at the crowd, as if it was threatening and warning them.
Only then did the crowd see clearly that this beast was actually a black tiger. However, there was a sharp horn on the forehead of this tiger, and it looked extremely ferocious.
"Kill it!"
Tai Wenxing shouted loudly, and his Yuan energy surged. He raised his sword and rushed towards the ferocious tiger.
"Kill!"
The others also shouted and rushed towards the fierce tiger.
"Little girl, be careful!"
At this time, no one cared about Lin Cheng and the other alchemists anymore. They were all focused on killing the tiger. Lin Cheng immediately reminded Zhu Ziqiao to be careful in a low voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted, "You are courting death!"
In his senses, there was actually a sense of danger.
He immediately understood that someone was planning to ambush him!
"Shameless! Little thief, be careful!"
Zhu Ziqiao shouted and immediately slashed out with her blade.
"Dang!"
The person who came was knocked back by Zhu Ziqiao's blade.
"Yan Wudong, Yan Wuqing, you are courting death!" Lin Cheng stared at Yan Wudong and Yan Wuqing who were not far away and said in a cold voice.
The one who attacked him just now was Yan Wuqing.
Yan Wudong was also ready to attack. If Zhu Ziqiao hadn't knocked Yan Wuqing back with her saber, he was afraid that Yan Wudong would have already pounced on him.
