The Path to Becoming Immortal

Chapter 8 The First Mission

Ning Ping looked calm on the outside, but inside he was extremely excited.

What I just said is basically consistent with what I experienced last night, and it was confirmed now.

It seems that he has really succeeded in enlightening his spirit. Thinking of this, he dare not publicize it.

"Thank you so much, senior brother. Fortunately, I asked senior brother. Otherwise, I might have been kept in the dark all this time."

Suppressing the turbulence in his heart, Ning Ping bowed deeply, which was sincere.

"You guys, take a look, take a look, everyone else is so studious when they are new, look at what you look like, some of you have been here for a few years, how many times have you practiced? Are you still talking about setting foot on the immortal world? The road leads to eternal life, shame on you!”

In an instant, Hua Wenyao became more interested in talking. He put his hands behind his back and gave a lesson. After speaking, he turned to look at Ning Ping.

But there was an inexplicable sense of caution in my heart. Being able to deal with people easily at such a young age is a skill in itself.

So, I made up my mind to let him know some rules, my own rules.

"Well, Ning Ping, you are a good boy and quite diligent, but don't spend a lot of time on trivial things. Yesterday I told you to memorize the herbal illustrations as soon as possible. Have you forgotten that I will come to check randomly in 10 days? Don't Let me down!"

After saying that, he took a deep look at Ning Ping and then turned around and left with his entourage.

"Thank you, senior brother, for the advice."

As he spoke, he vaguely felt that there was a hint of targeting in the other person's words, and his heart suddenly felt a little thumped.

I also regret my rash move today, which brought me such unprovoked trouble. It seems that I will have to stay out of the limelight in the future.

But I got the answer today, so just pay more attention in the future.

Walking on the road, I didn't seem very happy to see the pot, and I even felt a little depressed. I don't know why.

"Guozi, you don't look very happy. What's wrong?"

Only then did Guozi talk about the reason.

"Deworming this Thousand Spirit Grass seems simple, but it is actually very troublesome. If you are unlucky, you may be punished."

"Oh? What's going on! Isn't it easy to catch the bug?"

"That's not true. You'll know later." Guoduo hesitated, then suddenly remembered something and continued.

"Speaking of which, you are really brave. When you first arrived, you dared to directly approach your senior brother for questioning."

"What's the matter? I think senior brother is quite easy to talk to."

Hearing him mention this matter again, I felt helpless, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

"Hey, look at it from now on. Don't let him catch any sore feet, otherwise you will suffer."

Ning Ping thought to himself, it seemed that he would have to think of ways to deal with these relationships in the future.

Lest you never know, one day the stick will fall on you.

The field in the northeast corner where the two of them went was relatively far away.

Along the way, Ningping saw many types of medicinal materials grown in the medicine fields, and also saw the girl mentioned last night.

Some teenage girls are carefully collecting medicinal materials, bending down and showing their graceful figures.

From time to time, the slapstick will burst into bursts of cute laughter, making Guo Guo’s eyes wander from time to time.

However, Ning Ping's mind was not on this at the moment, but he saw a lot less scenery.

"Jialiu~ This is it. There is only this Thousand Spirit Grass here."

After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at the end of the field.

Looking up, the road from here has just divided the northeast corner, forming a separate medicinal field.

In the meantime, the field ridges are divided into small patches of medicinal fields.

Some are still idle, and some are growing different medicinal materials.

There is also a small grass shed not far away for people to rest and store some simple farm tools.

What Guozi was talking about was the small patch of promising medicinal field in front of him, which was only two feet in diameter.

Ning Ping knelt down and took a closer look. He hadn't even had time to look at the herbal illustration. He was very curious when he saw the cultivation of herbs for the first time.

I saw that this Thousand Spirit Grass was similar to the holly grass I had seen in the village.

Countless fine leaves spread out, but they are more tender. The entire plant is much taller, and it also faintly exudes an aura that makes me feel very comfortable.

"Ning Ping, don't underestimate it. This is a real elixir. The value of this small piece is comparable to acres of other ordinary herbs."

Seeing Ning Pinghao playing with the elixir, Guozi was worried that he would accidentally damage it, so he hurriedly warned him.

"Elixir? Isn't this also a herbal medicine?" Ning Ping found that except for the faint smell that made him feel comfortable, it was not much different from other herbal medicines.

"Don't you understand this? Spiritual medicine is used to make elixirs, but ordinary herbs cannot. You see..."

The pot waved his hand, pulled out a large piece in the air and continued.

"This is a Grade A plot of land and it is the most fertile place in our entire Chunhui Valley. All the elixirs grown here are elixirs. You have to be careful not to accidentally damage anything. That will cause big trouble."

After hearing the pot being said to be so precious, Ning Ping immediately retracted his hand that was still touching the elixir, fearing that his hands would damage it.

"Come on, let's start working. This Thousand Spirit Grass is the easiest to attract beetles. It's what we want to get rid of."

As he spoke, he picked up a black insect as thick as his index finger that was crawling on a thin leaf.

The land was not big, so the two of them finished their work after a while, and then sat in the grass shed nearby to rest and chat.

After about an hour, Guo Guo started urging again.

When I went to the medicine field to search, I found quite a few beetles.

"You see, there are endless beetles to catch. As soon as we catch them here, insects from far away are attracted here again. Some are still hiding in the mud, and a few come out from time to time."

When Ning Ping heard this, he suddenly thought of something: "What about at night?"

"Hey, that's what I'm worried about. Although beetles basically don't come out at night, there are bound to be accidents. There was a case before where a piece of spiritual medicine was eaten up in one night. This crappy task sometimes depends on luck. You can't stay here all night."

Ning Ping was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that he was assigned such a task as soon as he arrived.

At this time, he was a little suspicious in his heart, whether Brother Hua was targeting him.

Putting aside unnecessary worries, the two rested again, even if they had almost finished chatting.

At this time, Ning Ping thought that if he had known that he would be so free, he would have brought out the "Herb Illustrated Book" to read it, so as not to be so bored.

It was finally time for lunch.

After eating, Ning Ping also took the "Herbs Illustrated Book" with him. This was related to the inspection in ten days, and he had to take it seriously.

The thick "Herbs Illustrated Book" recorded some common herbs in the front.

And in the back, there were some medicinal materials marked as spiritual medicines, and Ning Ping paid special attention to them.

Ning Ping found that his memory seemed to have increased a lot out of thin air. Now he could not say that he had achieved photographic memory, but he could remember almost everything.

The teacher had praised his excellent memory before, but it didn't seem to be as obvious as today.

After thinking about it, he could only attribute it to the unexpected surprise of his successful spiritual awakening.
