1045 Untitled

He Zhiqiu didn’t expect the black-hearted boss to talk so much nonsense today.

He had been here for ten years, but this was the first time he had seen the black-hearted boss chatting patiently with an ascendant for so long.

He Zhiqiu couldn’t wait any longer. He was anxious to go to the plantation to see the situation with the Bone Nurturing Grass.

He Zhiqiu was afraid that the black-hearted boss would continue muttering, so he hurriedly grabbed Yu Huang’s arm and asked, “Boss, can I bring Yu Huang to the base to take a look?”

The black-hearted boss said, “Sure, but you can’t damage any grass or tree inside. If there’s any damage, you’ll be blamed for it. Do you understand?” The black-hearted boss looked at He Zhiqiu with a meaningful gaze as he said, “You can’t even afford to compensate for the herbs inside.”

He Zhiqiu naturally knew how precious every blade of grass and tree in the plantation base was. He nodded and promised, “Don’t worry, Boss. Yu Huang will definitely follow the rules.” With that said, He Zhiqiu pulled Yu Huang’s arm and walked into the base.

Yu Huang thought that the plantation base was on a mountain behind the town.

However, He Zhiqiu brought her to the tightly shut door of the base’s hall. After forcefully opening the iron door, Yu Huang discovered that the back of the base wasn’t a medicinal field, but a wide square. There were many cars in the shape of pills parked in the square.

Yu Huang stared at the strange-looking cars for a while.

When He Zhiqiu noticed Yu Huang’s gaze, he pointed at the pill carts and explained to Yu Huang, “This is a form of transportation on the Cang Lang Continent. Its official name is the Time Capsule Car, but we all call it the pill cart.”

“The name suits it very well.” Yu Huang also felt that calling this thing a pill cart was more suitable.

He Zhiqiu couldn’t help but complain, “Pill carts be damned.” He Zhiqiu said angrily, “I’ve been here for ten years but still haven’t completed the mission assessment. It’s all because this car’s name wasn’t chosen well.”

Yu Huang was caught between laughter and tears. She comforted He Zhiqiu. “You will succeed. Believe me, you’re a late bloomer.”

He Zhiqiu sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly. “It doesn’t matter if I’m a late bloomer, but I’m afraid that I won’t bloom at all.” If he didn’t succeed, he would have to save up to buy a coffin for himself.

Yu Huang saw that He Zhiqiu didn’t seem that dejected anymore and was only making a self-deprecating joke, so she was relieved.

“Mr. He, do we still have to take the pill cart to the plantation?”

“That’s right.” He Zhiqiu told Yu Huang, “The plantation base is very far from Ascension Town. We have to get a pill cart to reach the base. If this is your first time riding such a car, you have to be prepared to get carsick and vomit.”

“Alright, it’s time to get in the car!”

With that, He Zhiqiu pulled Yu Huang’s arm and entered the pill cart.

Although the pill cart was cute, the internal space wasn’t small. It could accommodate ten adults at a time.

There were a total of 16 people who had been sent to the plant cultivation base by Mr. Philand for the assessment. The group of people who had arrived early had already left on the bus in front.

When Yu Huang entered the pill cart, there were already five people inside.

The reason they had yet to leave was that they were waiting for He Zhiqiu.

He Zhiqiu was famous in town, so all the ascendants in the plantation base knew him.

Seeing He Zhiqiu walk into the pill cart with a walking stick, the ascenders hurriedly stood up to support him and sent him to his exclusive seat.

Just like Lin Jiansheng, they were also worried that He Zhiqiu would die at any moment.

To be honest, from the first day they came to the plantation to participate in the assessment, He Zhiqiu had looked like this.

Right from the first time they saw He Zhiqiu, they felt that he didn’t have long to live. However, He Zhiqiu had tenaciously survived and sent away batch after batch of ascenders.

He Zhiqiu thanked them and pointed at the empty seat beside him as he said to Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, sit here.” After saying that, He Zhiqiu introduced Yu Huang to his old friends. “This young lady’s name is Yu Huang. She has just ascended from a small world not long ago, but she has already completed the assessment mission. Today, she will accompany me to the medicinal field to take a look.”

Yu Huang and the others, known as Beast Tamers who had ascended from a peripheral world, had already become the hot topic of discussion among the ascenders recently.

It was said that Yu Huang had completed the assessment yesterday and successfully registered an S-rank identity card.

Everyone admired outstanding people.

Therefore, when they saw Yu Huang get into the car, no one had any objections.

A middle-aged female cultivator said to Yu Huang, “This pill car is very fast. Young lady, you have to fasten your seatbelt.”

Nodding, Yu Huang fastened her seatbelt.

As soon as the seatbelt was fastened, everyone’s seats lit up. The beam of light was testing if every seat’s seatbelt had been fastened.

After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, there was a beep from the pill cart. Immediately after, Yu Huang heard the sound of a mechanism being activated. In the next second, the pill cart suddenly rolled and fell underground.

Yu Huang suddenly closed her eyes and felt her body rolling and spinning with the pill cart…

This feeling was like playing with a yo-yo ball.

However, its speed was far faster than a yo-yo ball’s. It was so fast that Yu Huang was unable to think properly.

…

Finally, the pill cart stopped. Yu Huang’s back was tense, and she pressed herself against the seat of the pill car while panting heavily.

She was somewhat dizzy.

At this moment, her mind was disoriented and she couldn’t even tell which direction it was.

He Zhiqiu and the others sat in the car as they rested for a moment before standing up in twos and threes. Then, they pulled open the pill cart and walked out. He Zhiqiu stood outside the car door as he asked Yu Huang in amusement, “Ah Huang, can you still get up?”

Yu Huang nodded and slowly stood up while holding the armrest.

As soon as she got up, she lost her balance and fell back down.

Seeing this, He Zhiqiu laughed out loud. Seeing Yu Huang’s awkward expression, he comforted her considerately, “Rest a little longer. It’s not embarrassing. We all reacted like this when we first took the pill cart.”

“Okay!”

Yu Huang sat in the car for a moment longer. When she could see clearly again, she stood up again and slowly walked out.

After walking out of the pill cart, Yu Huang discovered that they were currently in a terraced spiritual herb plantation.

The base was filled with spiritual energy, and faint spiritual energy could even be seen in the air. Yu Huang opened her arms and took a deep breath. Her mind, which was still dizzy just now, instantly became clearer.

Yu Huang originally thought that the spiritual herb base was sealed and no one else could enter or exit. However, to her surprise, there were actually many types of herbalists here. The clothes those people were wearing were also different from the clothes of He Zhiqiu and the others. Clearly, they weren’t people who had ascended to the small town.

When He Zhiqiu saw that Yu Huang was sizing up those herbalists, he knew what she was puzzled about. He told Yu Huang, “This spiritual herb base is said to be a public herbal field in the Cang Lang Continent. Many large families will rent land to plant spiritual herbs here. These people are all herbalists from large families who rented a piece of land in Ascension Town.”

As he spoke, He Zhiqiu pointed at a large shed in the distance of the base and said, “That’s my plantation base. Let’s go, I’ll show you.”
