Chapter 34 - Triumphing in Herbology
Du Lingfei’s words immediately caused laughter to break out among the observing outer sect disciples. They just couldn't believe that Bai Xiaochun could best Du Lingfei in herbal knowledge.
Especially the words that Bai Xiaochun said at the end. To them, it sounded like the impossible. It was basically ignorant and foolish.
“If this Bai Xiaochun can really identify it, then his herbal knowledge in the first three volumes is comparable with Senior Sister Zhou Xinqi. How could that be!”
“This person is tricking us, how hateful! This time, we must expose him!”
Seeing as the people around him were continuously mocking him, Bai Xiaochun stood there, furrowing his brows.
“Has everyone finished speaking?” His expression slowly turned cold. He was really angry now. If they were in a fight, he wouldn’t behave in this manner. As a man whose goal was to become a great Medicine Master, being doubted in the matter of herbal knowledge was humiliating to him.
“All of you can doubt my fortune, as you can doubt my abundance of magic treasures, but for the ways in herbology, do not use your shallow insights to view the whole world.”
The way his voice echoed out, along with his stern expression, unexpectly gave people the impression that his small and skinny body was akin to tall mountains. His cold expression even more so stunned the outer sect disciples ridiculing him.
Even Du Lingfei was briefly stunned. In that moment, there was a too great of a difference with Bai Xiaochun’s previous demeanor. It was as though he was a whole different person.
“This mystical spirit grass is occasionally called Black-White Flower. It contains Gold-Silver Roots, Sky Yellow Leaves, Water Shell Grass, Nine Earth Fruit, Snail Thread Meat, Cloud-Edge Flower, Windseeking Stalks, Yang Fruit...:” Bai Xiaochun scoffed, flourishing his sleeves. In that moment, he no longer gave others the image that he was an obedient yet detestable boy. He had his hands behind his back, coldly gazing at the people around him. Slowly, there was an unfathomable aura exuded from him.
Followiing his speech, his momentum grew stronger and surprised looks surfaced on the spectators’ faces.
Especially Du Lingfei, whose eyebrows were tightly knit together while closely observing the mystical plant. She knew all about the herbs that Bai Xiaochun had mentioned, they were all recorded in the first three volumes of the herb almanac. But contrary to expectations, she was unable to identify this mystical plant at all.
“It seems that you really want to recite all the first three volumes of the herb almanac. In this way, there is no doubt that you will score higher than me. If you can really recite everything without missing a single one, then I will admit that you win this round.” Du Lingfei snorted. Until then, she still didn’t believe that Bai Xiaochun had truly identified it.
“That’s right! If you have the ability to do so, recite the first three volumes of the herb almanac. It would naturally be your win!”
“What trickery, what shallow insight, what viewing the world? I think that you’re actually the shallow one. If you can’t identiy it, then admit it straightaway instead of scamming people over there. What an eyesore!” The people all around him also sneered sarcastically.
Bai Xiaochun looked at Du Lingfei coldly, then he looked at everyone else. Suddenly, he smiled, retrieved his gaze, he opened his mouth to speak indifferently.
“Hundred Grass Root, thirty years to form Hundred Grass. By drying the meridians and adding in spirit water, grafting it on top of the Famine Leaf, a blotch is formed.” Bai Xiaochun pointed with his right hand and a gust of wind landed on the mystical plant, exposing a faint blotch on the plant..
“Famine Leaf. Every nine leaves combine together to form one leaf, devouring Scalding Flowers to grow. Right here!”
“Scalding Flowers. It does not bloom for a hundred years. Even when it blooms in a hundred years time, it is only for an instant.
”Four-Leafed Ginseng. Using mystical fire to roast it, its leaves dry, the extracted rich essence flows into the ginseng’s body. This can improve the Flat Shell’s development, fusing them into one!”
“There is also the Flat Shell...” Bai Xiaochun’s voice was calm. With every word that came out of his mouth, he explained in detail to the extent of even naming the method used. In the beggining everyone present still had a derisive expression on their faces, but those slowly disappeared. Faces quickly changed, followed by rapid breathing. The spectating crowd underwent a rapid transformation, till every last disciple present had an expression of disbelief. Some were even shocked to the point of being speechless.
“This is impossible!”
“Heavens, how could this be!”
Every sentence from Bai Xiaochun’s mouth was like an invisible slap across the face, aimed directly at those people’s. Everyone present was also herbal student. Previously they were unable to discover the mystical plant’s secrets, but under Bai Xiaochun’s detailed explanation, they all immediately recognised them.
Everything said by Bai Xiaochun turned out to be completely accurate without a single mistake. He suddenly became an awe inspiring person, slapping every single one of the disciples present across the face.
“This Bai Xiaochun’s herbal knowledge, it has unexpectedly… reached such astonishing levels!” The surrounding disciples were already in an uproar. The previous insults immediately stained their faces fiery red with pain.
