114 Grass-Wood Division (2/2)

“Zhao Feng, what do you think? If you enter the Grass-Wood Division and follow me, I’ll promise your future will be great,” Old Man Guan said expectantly.

Pill master seemed to be a great occupation, and Zhao Feng knew that most of the pills supplied by the Clan were made by the Grass-Wood Division. If he was to become Old Man Guan’s disciple, he would have the advantage in terms of pills.

One had to know that once a pill reached the tier of ‘Spiritual Pill’, its use was at an entire level higher than the best pills in the mortal world.

“Peh! This kid’s true talent is arrays! Zhao Feng! As long as you follow me, I’ll give you ten extra substandard primal crystal stones every month and there’s a ‘Spiritual Condensing array’ in the Thousand Leaf Pond, the liquid inside has been there for a thousand years and it is great for body strengthening…”

Old Man Guan immediately threw out a bigger bait.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng’s heart jumped. An outer disciple would receive one substandard primal crystal stone, which could greatly increase one’s cultivation speed and Old Man Guan had decided to give him ten. Apart from this, there was also an array in the Thousand Leaf Pond which greatly increased one’s cultivation speed.

After their respective suggestions, the two Vice Heads started swearing and cursing each other again.

The azure-clothed Vice Head couldn’t help but be stunned.“I have a suggestion.”

What? The two old men stopped their bickering and turned towards the Vice Head.

“Your argument is whether Zhao Feng is better at pill making or creating arrays, right?” the Vice Head smiled.

“Yes.” “That’s right.” The two nodded their heads.

“Then it’s much easier. Let Zhao Feng learn at each place for a while, then see which place he’s better suited for,” the Vice Head said with a smile.

Hearing his suggestion, both Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang thought for a while, then nodded their heads in agreement.

It looked like this was the only way to settle where Zhao Feng went.

There was only one last problem left, and that was where Zhao Feng wanted to go first.

“I’ll go with Vice Head Guan first and stay at the Grass-Wood Division first,” Zhao Feng gave his answer.

The reason he chose the Grass-Wood Division was because both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan’s jobs were connected to the Grass-Wood Division. Yang Qingshan was a farmer, while Nan Gongfan had to carry the trash.

If he was working at the Grass-Wood Division, he could look after them.

The argument was finally settled and through their discussion, it was arranged for Zhao Feng to first stay at the Grass-Wood Division for ten days, then go to Old Man Zhang’s.

Like this, Zhao Feng’s task was handed down.

\------

On the same day, he followed Old Man Guan to the Grass-Wood Division.

On the way, Old Man Guan kept on saying how good pill makers were and if Zhao Feng followed him, he would have a greater future.

Zhao Feng kept on agreeing with what he said.

“Greeting, Vice Head.”

After entering the Grass-Wood Division, everyone bowed down and Zhao Feng could see that the respect of these people came from the bottom of their hearts.

There were pill masters and inner disciples amongst these people.

“Why’s that kid with Vice Head Guan?” an outer disciple exclaimed after they passed a certain hill. That outer disciple was Chen Feng.

“Could that kid be Vice Head Guan’s new personal helper?”

“Impossible! Vice Head Guan is extremely strict in choosing personal helpers. An inner disciple last time was even fired.”

The nearby disciples broke out in a discussion, but looking at how Old Man Guan was heading towards the important grounds of the Grass-Wood Division, it seemed Zhao Feng was very important.

Soon, Old Man Guan led Zhao Feng to the important grounds. This place gave off a strong medicine smell and pill masters could be frequently seen here.

“Zhao Feng?” a girl’s voice sounded out.

Looking over, Zhao Feng saw that the owner of this voice was the Princess of the Cloud Country, Yun Mengxiang.

Yun Mengxiang was helping a beautiful woman tidy up some items.

“Vice Head Guan.” The woman turned around and greeted Old Man Guan with a smile.

“Pill master Yun Yao, this is your niece that you talked about?” Old Man Guan asked.

The two knew each other pretty well, and after a bit of introductions, Zhao Feng found out that the pill master named Yun Yao was Yun Mengxiang’s real aunt.

“Old Man Guan, this kid’s your new personal helper?” Pill master Yun Yao looked at Zhao Feng with interest.

“This is a pill-making genius that I finally wrestled from Old Man Zhang.” Old Man Guan said proudly.
