922. A Young Man from the Herb Clan (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“I heard that the content on the stone tablets is from the shallower to the deeper. If one could fully understand everything on them, one would ascend.”
“So funny! How could it be so simple to ascend?” the leading young man Gu Yan said with disdain.
“I’ve heard that the stones are so mysterious that if you can understand what it says, it makes you feel refreshed. If you can’t, the stone tablets will bite you back.” Gu Feng said.
“Oh? Really?” Gu Ling said curiously.
Gu Feng nodded, “Yes!”
“I’ve heard that Mo Fei, who is said to be the number one cultivation of the young generation, likes coming here, too.” Gu Feng said.
“Yeah, I heard last time when he came, he made it to the fifty-fourth one, so he is taken as a rare talent.” Said Gu Li with sarcasm.
“Talent? And a rare one? So talents are already so cheap out here.” said Gu Yan disapprovingly.
“Elder brother, you break Mo Fei’s record and let these people see our herb clan’s ability.” Gu Ling said to Gu Yan with great confidence, clenching her fists.
Gu Yan nodded, “OK.”
Lou Yu looked those people, in his eyes flashed kind of faint killing qi.
“Who are those young men? What a big tone!”
“Don’t look down upon them. They are members of Herb clan, and they are very skillful in making potions. As soon as they arrived at the herb capital, they challenged several well-known pharmacists. It was said that they all lost to them.”
“Are they more capable than Mo Fei?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why so many capable people appeared recently? Really leaving us no place to stand.”
“…”
Gu Yan looked at the 54th stone tablet, at first, it was OK. But, as plenty of potion knowledge poured into his sense sea, he suddenly felt so dizzy.
Looking at the sweat dripping on Gu Yan’s forehead, Gu Ling asked anxiously, “Brother, are you all right?”
Gu Yan gritted his teeth and said, “Yeah, I’m fine, it’s just that those stone tablets are really kind of interesting.”
Then he withdrew the soul force, and went before the first stone tablet.
Gu Ling ducked her lips and nailed her eyes on the 54th stone tablet. As soon as her mind sank into it, she let out a scream.
“Ling’er, you OK?” Gu Li said uneasily.
Gu Ling shook her head and said, “Nothing, but this stone tablet is really a little strange.”
Then she turned around, face pace, and walked to the first one.
A few young men from the Herb Clan looked at each other, speechless. Gu Yan and Gu Ling are the best two among them all. Since even they said those stone tablets were strange, there should be something strange.
Lou Yu stood by and watched the scene lightly.
If the gap between one’s potion ability and the content recording on the stone tablets was too huge, one could even get killed. Since those two were still alive, it meant their potion skills were not bad.
Mo Fei’s concern was reasonable. This world had crouching tiger and hidden dragon everywhere. They were so young and already this able. Those behind them should be much more capable.
Mo Fei withdrew his soul force out of the 54th stone tablet and fell into the 55th one.
Lou Yu silently stayed beside, guarding him.
Gu Yan browsed the stone tablets one by one, his face, from time to time, showing a thoughtful look.
The speed of Gu Yan was much faster than Mo Fei when he did it for the first time. On the way of learning potions, Mo Fei mostly replied on himself. Although he was creative enough, his foundations were not that solid, while Gu Yan was different. He got famous s.h.i.+fu to guide him since he was little. So on this way, he had gone ahead steadily and surely all the time.
…
In the sky above Qian Ye and others lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
A ball was rolling, “The little sea monster is also going to get promoted!” Su Rong said enviously.
Qian Ye sighed, “Having absorbed so many star crystals, it’s only strange if he can’t get promoted! That was five best quality star crystals!”
Su Rong looked at Qian Ye’s flesh-cutting appearance, smiling, “All right, since his promotion does us a lot of good.”
Qian Ye nodded and said, “That’s the only way to think about it. Cang Qian was not so good to the little sea monster. How at the critical moment, he is so good to him?”
Su Rong smiled helplessly and said, “He was also not good to the little golden flood dragon.”
Qian Ye nodded and said, “Yes! I wonder when he will come back. He has been away from quite a few days.”
Su Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, “He used to have stayed in there for a few months. Who knows how long this time?”
Qian Ye rubbed his hands and said, “Come back soon! If you don’t come back, your fortune will be all wasted by the little golden flood dragon and the little sea monster!”
Su Rong shook his head disrespectfully, “They got Cang Qian to protect them. Even if Mo Fei and Lou Yu come back, it’s just two more people watching the ruin of our family.”
“We can’t let it go on like this! We got to race against time. We have to eat up, use up and absorb up everything before Cang Qian! We have to hurry!” said Qian Ye, clenching his fists.
