Chapter 165 - Crazy Old Man

And Huang Tian was submerged in the depths of the earth, unmoving, as if he had completely died? After an unknown number of years, a strand of Huang Tian's soul, which had been in a deep slumber, left his body and rushed out of the abyss, attaching itself to the body of an ordinary youth.

"In my previous life, I possessed a transcendent divine might, but I lost everything. In this life, I have to protect everything I have gained, and not let my loved ones leave?" Huang Tian who was sitting upright at a certain place slowly opened his eyes. There were different kinds of emotions in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of feeling it was. This wasn't what he wanted, was it? This was not his future path. Even if it was, he wouldn't allow this! He was destined to walk the path of the strong, but could he not allow this to happen in the future? He definitely wouldn't let her.

With a peng sound, the protective barrier around his body shattered, following that, everyone's gazes turned to Huang Tian. Huang Tian seemed to be at a loss, and stood up, a Law Enforcement disciple walked in, and said with a smile.

"Congratulations Junior Brother for successfully passing through the Heart Refining Cliff. Junior Brother, please follow me?" The Law Enforcement disciple slowly turned around and walked towards the other side of the cliff. Huang Tian was a little confused. Did he pass just like that? As if he hadn't lost himself? What was going on with the Heart Refining Cliff? Huang Tian couldn't wrap his head around it, and looked at the other people who were still sitting cross-legged. Some were in pain, some were insane, some were terrified. Why would such a scene occur to him? Huang Tian could not understand, and immediately followed the disciple's footsteps? Huang Tian walked down the stairs and reached the bottom of the Heart Refining Cliff. Below him was a huge plaza, but at the side of the plaza, there stood a gigantic palace.

However, there were dozens of stone monuments all around the square, and each stone monument was surrounded by many disciples? Every stone tablet had an elder examining the talent of these disciples? There were still a few Nine Flower Palace disciples nearby, who seemed to have specifically come to observe the talent of these disciples. Some of their disciples were quite talented, yet they were directly taken away by those disciples? How could Huang Tian not understand what was going on?

"Hmm, not bad. Fighter 8-dan, Wind and Gold attributes?" That elder lightly nodded, letting a youth leave? Then, someone nearby walked up and started a conversation with that disciple. To a martial artist, the dual attributes were already considered a genius? After all, martial artists with three attributes and above were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns no matter where they went. Most people had one attribute, but of course, only disciples with one attribute could become outer disciples. These inner elders and disciples wouldn't care too much about it.

"Mm. Earth element warrior, go to the Law Enforcement Hall and register yourself. Someone will tell you where you are going." That disciple was a bit depressed. After all, at the warrior level, he could be considered a strong warrior? However, no one came to greet him. He could only helplessly go to the Law Enforcement Hall to register. Huang Tian's expression was also very calm, as he stood at the back of the line.

"Look, Golden White Green, Three Stats, has another Three Stats finally appeared?" Everyone's gaze turned towards the stone monument, only to see it emit three different colors – gold, white, and green. They were able to distinguish which three attributes represented the Wind, Gold, and Wood attributes? That elder nodded his head in satisfaction, not even bothering to announce that person's strength. A few other elders then walked up to greet that disciple. The disciple was also flattered, and for a moment, he didn't know how to choose to remove them. The others had looks of envy and jealousy on their faces. How much did they wish that they were also a martial artist with three attributes?

"Kid, it's your turn?" The old man looked at Huang Tian, and Huang Tian immediately bowed, walking over, he struck the stone tablet with his palm. The stone tablet trembled, and then lit up with the red and green light? Two rays of light spread out in all directions, and a moment later, it was over a thousand meters long. Did it stop at a place one thousand and two hundred meters away? Huang Tian slowly withdrew his hand and stood beside the elder. The elder gently nodded his head.

"Not bad, he actually broke through to the second level warrior, Fire Wood, and other attributes?" After the old man finished speaking, a disciple walked over and smiled at Huang Tian:

"Junior Brother, why don't you follow me to the Consonance Mountain?" Huang Tian was slightly taken aback, but then he remembered the Spirit Rhino Peak disciple he saw at the Ju Hua Restaurant. With regards to the Spirit Rhino Mountain, Huang Tian naturally had some understanding from the ancient books, and he yearned to learn the Spirit Rhino Finger. However, Huang Tian deliberately released the two Fire Wood Attributes, not because he wanted to go to the Consonance Mountain, but because he wanted to learn how to refine pills. Huang Tian muttered to himself for a moment, and then immediately bowed and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Apprentice Brother. I would like to learn alchemy. May I ask if it is possible to refine pills on the Spirit Rhino Mountain?" The teenager sized Huang Tian up and said with a smile:

"The dual attribute fire and wood attribute is indeed a good seedling for alchemy. Forget it. Since you want to learn alchemy, then forget it!" This youth did not make things difficult for Huang Tian, so why did he leave directly? However, when the others heard that Huang Tian wanted to learn alchemy, their gazes became complicated, but most of them revealed an unpleasant odor, and some even started whispering.

"You ignorant brat, Senior Brother Ling Feng bringing him to the Consonance Mountain, this is definitely an opportunity to rise to the heavens in a single step. To think that you didn't treasure it properly and even wanted to learn alchemy, do you really think that you can become an alchemist just because you have fire and wood attributes?" Is this really a joke? " Huang Tian frowned, what other problems did he have with concocting pills? Even though no one else agreed with him, he was still a pill refiner who could concoct pills. Could it be that there was something else he needed to learn? Huang Tian looked around, and saw that no one had come to find him, and felt extremely depressed. Could it be that he had said something wrong, so why wasn't there anyone looking for him?

The Jiuhua Mountain has a place that specializes in the development of alchemists, is it called Medicine King Peak? Why aren't there any disciples sent by the Medicine King Peak here? However, just at this moment, a sound transmission entered Huang Tian's ears.

"Hehe, does this little fellow want to go to Medicine King Peak? However, the conditions to join the Medicine King Peak were very harsh. Without a certain level of foundation, without even being able to refine pills, one could forget about joining the Medicine King Peak. If you must be careful, you should go to the Law Enforcement Hall to do some registration, and then try your luck at Medicine King Peak, right? " Huang Tian then looked at the elder, who was standing at the stone tablet and examining the talent of the disciples. Huang Tian bowed in gratitude, then headed towards the Law Enforcement Hall?

Once they arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, of course there would be a lot of people queuing up. Huang Tian was at the back of the line and had to register himself. Besides obtaining a storage bag and a few sets of Nine Flower Palace clothes, he also obtained two jade slips? This jade slip was naturally an introduction to the Nine Flower Palace. Walking out of the Law Enforcement Hall, Huang Tian took out the jade strips and checked it. A moment later, he found the location of the Medicine King Peak.

The Medicine King Peak was naturally one of the Nine Supremes Peak, but it was not only close by, it was a pity that he did not bring the Blackgold Three Striped Condor with him, otherwise, would he have just flown over? Since Huang Tian had just arrived at the Nine Flower Palace, he naturally didn't dare to easily send out his Wind Wielding Boat, nor did he dare to casually enter the other mountains, because other than the nine great peaks, many other disciples' residences were located on top of the other mountains. He could only slowly walk along the path he met in silence.

After walking for a few hours, Huang Tian finally saw a majestic mountain towering into the clouds, followed by the smell of medicine drifting in the distance. The closer they got to the Medicine King Peak, the more exotic flowers and herbs they found. From time to time, there would even be disciples wandering about, seemingly taking care of the herbs. There were many ancient books related to medicinal herbs that Huang Tian studied, and he couldn't help but walk into a medicinal field. Looking at the various strange flowers and plants, as well as the dense medicinal fragrance, Huang Tian really had the urge to pluck them?

"Hey, who are you? "Why did you come to my medicine garden?" Huang Tian was startled and immediately turned his head to look. He saw an old man whose face was covered with dirt looking at Huang Tian warily, it seemed like Huang Tian was here to steal his medicine? Huang Tian could sense that the other party's cultivation was at least that of a Martial King. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless, and promptly bowed and greeted him.

"Disciple Huang Tian greets senior?" The old man saw that Huang Tian was neither servile nor overbearing, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, brat, quickly tell us, who told you to steal my medicine? "If you do not come from the truth, let's see if this old man will not strip you today!" Huang Tian was stunned upon hearing that, what was going on, how did he become a medicine thief, and what was he doing stealing his herbs, was he here to learn pill refining? Seeing that the opponent's power had suddenly erupted and was pressing down on Huang Tian, Huang Tian secretly complained in his heart, and quickly explained:

"Senior, you misunderstand, I am an inner disciple who had just passed the Refinement Grounds and wish to go to Medicine King Peak to learn alchemy. As I was passing by this place and saw countless strange flowers and herbs, I couldn't help but come over to take a look, and am not here to steal senior's herbs?" Hearing Huang Tian's words, the old man was slightly surprised, he then looked at Huang Tian carefully, and saw that his clothes had not changed. Huang Tian was extremely helpless. He laughed awkwardly and was about to leave? However, the old man said with some curiosity.

"You are an apothecary?" "Come, tell me, how many herbs do you know about this place?" Huang Tian was startled, this old man's character looked extremely weird, Huang Tian was not willing to offend him, but since the other party had already said so, Huang Tian would naturally not refuse? He bowed and said.

"Is it senior?" Huang Tian looked at the nearby herbs, and said.

"These are the herbs used to concoct the Antidote Pill, such as picture grass, dried grass, and bitter flowers. These were the healing herbs, the green father and son, the violet leaves, the three thousand flowers, and the mummy grass. "These are the herbs that strengthen the foundation and nurture the spirit, and also the herbs of Asparagus officinalis, Thousand Leaves of Peace, Three White Grass, not borrowing any grass." Huang Tian looked at the herbs in the distance again and smiled.

"As for those stalks of herbs, they are Red Ginseng Leaves, Ginseng Grass, Poria Cocos Seed, and White Peony Grass." Seeing Huang Tian talk about most of the herbs in one breath, the old man's eyes flashed, but even more so, it was an accident. He never thought that a new disciple would be able to understand so many herbs, it was truly unbelievable. The old man looked at Huang Tian with a face full of suspicion.

"Kid, before you joined our Nine Flower Palace, which sect did you choose?" Huang Tian laughed bitterly as he shook his head:

"I dare not lie to you, senior. I came from a small village, where is my master?"

"Liar, if you didn't have a master, how could you know about so many herbs?" The old man's Qi was released once again, a wave of oppressive force instantly enveloping Huang Tian once again? Huang Tian felt his body sink, as though he was going to fall down to the ground at any moment. Huang Tian immediately said.

"Senior, you misunderstand. I have read many ancient books regarding alchemy. Is my knowledge of herbs based on these ancient books?" You really don't have a master? " How could the old man be willing to believe that? With a cold snort, he struck towards Huang Tian's head? Huang Tian's face changed, what is this fellow trying to do, is he trying to search his soul? Huang Tian's face immediately became ugly. This repulsive old man, actually dared to search the soul of a disciple in broad daylight, was this a violation of the sect's rules? However, the old man did not have the slightest hesitation. He still smacked down with his palm? Huang Tian could no longer afford to hide it, he instantly released his Martial Master Expert's aura. After sending out his palm, a strong flame element immediately turned into a long dragon that flew towards his opponent's palm.

"Good kid, I actually misjudged you. You actually hid your cultivation. Looks like there's something fishy. I'd like to see who you've sent to our Nine Flower Palace?" Huang Tian was extremely depressed in his heart, what was this, who did he offend, why was he so unlucky to actually meet a madman? This wouldn't be easy. If the higher ups of the Nine Flower Palace were to find out that he was concealing his cultivation level, then he would be in danger. However, just at this moment, a melodious voice came from afar.

"Master, who did you fight with this time?" A group of white clothed figures shot over like arrows? When the old man heard this voice, he was slightly stunned. His originally domineering face suddenly revealed a childish smile? Not only did he not exchange blows with Huang Tian, he even retreated? Huang Tian also immediately retracted his palm power and looked back. He was slightly stunned, because Huang Tian recognized this woman, isn't she the girl that he gifted the Cold Moon Blade to.

"It's you?" This young lady was so beautiful that she could topple nations. Her strength was extraordinary, and she was actually a disciple of the Nine Flower Palace? This girl recognized Huang Tian with a face full of shock and disbelief. How could this guy be here? Huang Tian was also surprised, but luckily, he did not let them down and even gifted them the Frost Moon Blade. However, Huang Tian was extremely fearful of this old man. Looking at the young girl, Huang Tian bowed and said.

"Junior brother Huang Tian greets senior sister?" When the old man saw that Huang Tian actually knew his beloved disciple, he was even more surprised.
