Legend of the Monster
198 Chapter. The Star Spirit Grass
Seeing Ling Tian's demeanor as well as his introduction that sounded such narcissism, Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian became even more awkward towards him.
"Se ... Ah ... No ... Wasn't it! It might be better if we call you as Ling Tian's brother," said Yan Xifeng who was still in an awkward state. Then he hurriedly continued, "Once again I thank you, brother Ling Tian for saving our lives and also for healing all the wounds contained in my body."
"Yeah ... Big thanks, brother Ling Tian. The grace you give to both of us is so much. Maybe in all this life, we'll never be able to get back at him." Ning Qian Qian said as she bowed respectfully.
"Acity ... No need to say that. Because I'm sure you two will soon be able to reply to him," Ling Tian replied quickly.
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian were completely flustered. The two of them did not understand what the intent contained within Ling Tian's words just now.
"Hehehe ... I'll just ask you two a question. If you answer him very honestly, then I will assume that you have returned the favor to me," Ling Tian continued with a small laugh.
Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian became even more confused. Was it only by answering a question that Ling Tian had been able to repay the kindness that Ling Tian had given them both? According to them, this is impossible.
"Erm ... Then ... Please say, brother Ling Tian! We will answer all the questions you have to be honest. Although we don't think it can repay your kindness, but as long as it can help you, we'll always be ready to do what you want." Yan Xifeng said firmly with a very sincere tone.
For a moment, Ling Tian watched the two carefully. He was also able to judge that Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian did indeed have honest characters.
"Hmmm ... Alright. I just wanted to ask you guys. Where can I find the Star Spirit Grass within this Poison Mist Sect?" ling Tian asked casually, yet his face looked solemn.
Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian gasped in shock when they heard the question from Ling Tian. They had not expected that Ling Tian would just ask such an extremely easy question.
"Did Ling Tian's brother really not know about it? Could it be that he was not one of the Core Disciples in the Poison Mist Sect? Is it true that simply answering the question has been able to return the favor that has saved their lives?"
These were some of the questions that Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian had in mind. Because, even though they were both Core Disciples in the Poison Mist Sect, they did not know all the Core Disciples in it. This was because there were some Core Disciples who acted personally to obtain their own resources and never hung out or befriended other Core Disciples.
Ling Tian looked at Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian in astonishment, as both of them looked visibly surprised upon hearing a question from him.
"Maybe my question is very difficult? Or was all the things about the Star Spirit Grass something that was extremely taboo in this Poison Mist Sect?" Ling Tian nodded while furrowing his brows.
Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian looked at each other with gazes that were complicated enough to explain. Then turned back to look towards Ling Tian.
"Brother Ling Tian! Erc ... Is that the only question you have asked us? Are there no other questions?" yan Xifeng asked solemnly as he stared fixedly at Ling Tian's face.
"Yes! Just that," Ling Tian replied firmly, then added, "Is my question that was so difficult for the two of you to answer?"
"Bhh ... No ... Nah! Quite the opposite, brother Ling Tian. That question of yours is a very easy one as all the Core Disciples in the sect must have known it," Yan Xifeng replied in an awkward tone as he waved his hand towards Ling Tian.
Yan Xifeng did not dare to ask if Ling Tian was not one of the Core Disciples of the Poison Mist Sect. He was afraid that if asking so later would only offend Ling Tian.
"Star Spirit Grass was an extremely rare Spirit Plant in this Intermediate Level Sky Continent. Everybody knows about it. So, something that is very rare will certainly be very difficult to get. However, it used to be that this Poison Mist Sect had quite a number of Star Spirit Grass contained within some of its oxen."
Yan Xifeng paused for a moment to wet his throat with his saliva. Then continued, "However, it is no longer there, as the Elders of the sect took and moved all of those Star Spirit Grasses to the Medicine Valley located in the central region of this Poison Mist Sect. Because, a few years ago, there was a cultivator from the Wei Clan who managed to enter the sect and take the Star Spirit Grass in one of the valleys here. This made the sect leader and the Elders become furious. So they all brought in the disciples to exterminate the Wei Clan that was in Luan City."
Once again Yan Xifeng stopped to swallow his saliva, then resumed his words, "We both learned about it when we first entered the Poison Mist Sect, because we joined the sect when this sect had finished slaughtering everyone within the Wei Clan. Does brother Ling Tian know where to go towards the Medicine Valley?"
"No!" ling Tian replied briefly.
"If so, I'll tell you. The Medicine Valley was in the central region. It's about 400 kilometers from this place." Yan Xifeng quickly took out a thick paper scroll from his s.p.a.ce Ring, then handed it to Ling Tian. "This is a map of the entire region of the Poison Mist Sect."
Ling Tian immediately took out the map scroll that was in Yan Xifeng's hands. When he finished looking at it, he handed it back.
"Bhh ... Bring this map, brother Ling Tian. Maybe it will be useful when you lose your way while walking around inside the sect," Yan Xifeng said slowly, refusing to let the map be returned to him.
"Hehehe ... That's not necessary! I've memorized everything."
"Hmmm ... All righty! Then I'll take it back." Yan Xifeng inserted another map scroll into his s.p.a.ce Ring, then asked, "Are Ling Tian brothers really going to the Medicine Valley to obtain that Star Spirit Grass?"
"Yes! I will go there because I desperately need the Star Spirit Grass to concoct a pill."
Hearing his reply, Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian finally recalled Ling Tian's words. Previously, he had said that the Healing Pill he had given Yan Xifeng was his own homemade pill.
"ah! Is brother Ling Tian also an Alchemist?" ning Qian Qian asked in a surprised tone.
"Yeah ... That's how!" Ling Tian smiled faintly as he shrugged both of his shoulders.
Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian immediately stared fixedly from foot to head Ling Tian to make sure that he was truly a human.
"The monster!" Unknowingly, Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian muttered simultaneously.
"Yeah ... That's very true. In addition to dubbing me as the most handsome man in the Sky Continent, people also dubbed me as a Monster. Hmmm ... Maybe it should be that my nickname was merged into the most handsome Monster in the Sky Continent," Ling Tian said in a serious tone, while holding his chin and looks like he is thinking hard to find a nickname that is worthy of himself.
"?@%.,!"
Yan Xifeng and Ning Qian Qian did not know how to respond to Ling Tian's words. They could only be silent with an awkward look on their face.
