After plucking many flowers, Li Chengfeng quickly realised a huge problem. Who should he sell it to?
How should he use this?
Sell it to Zhang Jinbao?
Hmm, that was an option worth considering. However, this fat bro must have realised that he had been used by Li Chengfeng for a while, and was even used against Zhan Qisheng. When they met again, this guy might want to kill him by sitting on his butt. That was a question he didn't know.
Sell it to Huangfu Song?
This Senior Brother of Hidden Brocade Court probably wanted to skin him alive and tear his bones apart …
Sell it to Hidden Sword Court?
But who would buy it?
These poor bastards were so poor they had to resort to scamming and robbing people on the streets. How much could they pay for the flowers?
Sell it to Hidden Modesty Court?
He didn't know anyone, where would he sell it?
He would just walk up to them and ask: Do you want the flowers?
Aren't you afraid of being robbed?
Keep it for himself?
How do I use it?
I don't know!
After Li Chengfeng's ecstasy, the series of questions made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. At that moment, he felt like he was an old farmer with all the goods in his hands!
This delicate and tender Rainbow Sickle Senna did not look like a plant that could be kept for a long time!
Li Chengfeng stared at the bunch of flowers and sighed. "Do you think these are enough to make a dish?"
"What?"
Yuehan was drinking water, and when she heard this, she almost choked to death. She coughed a few times, widened her eyes and turned her head, "Young Master, what did you just say?"
Li Chengfeng sighed. "What should I do then?
I don't know how to use this much and I can't sell it. It'll be a hassle if I keep it. What else can I do but eat it? "
Yuehan was also dumbfounded. She knew what the Rainbow Sickle Senna Flower was for.
The medicine saint of the Nine Cauldrons Sect once described the uses of the flower in 'The Book of Pills and Medicine': (Leaves) Sweet, flat, non-poisonous; (Stem) Bitter, warm, non-poisonous; (Root) Bitter, cold, non-poisonous.
Indications: Meridians in disorder, internal bleeding, sanjiao disorder.
Medicine: Grind two ounces of Black Fog Beast Blood and Five Spirit Fat into powder, one thousand Rainbow Sickle Flowers, and grind them into juice. Extract five grams of essence, and send it down with the water from the Heavenly Saint Pond. It can bring back flesh and bones from the dead.
Alchemy: Introduce the Three Origin Saint Exterminating Pill into the leaves and stems, supplemented by two Luo Gen Grass, one Sky Scorpion Tail, three Black Demon Fish Bones, and one Thousand-faced Demon Core. Refine in the Golden Cauldron for forty-two hours to obtain the Heavenly King Exterminating Pill. Consuming it will double one's power.
But … how could she tell Li Chengfeng this?
If she told him, how would she explain how she knew about it?
One had to know that a hundred years ago, the Nine Cauldron Sect was destroyed by the combined forces of various sects. The sect's Dharma treasures, elixirs, and territories were all divided up. The sect's cornerstone classic, the 'Classic of Elixirs and Medicine', was copied by the various sects. Subsequently, it became a forbidden book of the sect and was forbidden from being read. Only an extremely small number of great cultivators had the right to read it.
The 'Classic of Elixirs and Medicine' recorded seventeen uses for the Seven-Coloured Sickle Sickle Flower. Most of them were used as medicinal catalysts, so it was considered a holy treasure. Sects in the martial world and cultivation sects all used it a lot.
Just as Li Chengfeng expected, the Seven-Coloured Sickle Sickle Flower was most valuable when used in pills. If it was dried and ground into powder, then it could only be used in medicine. That would greatly reduce its value.
But no matter how worthless it was, it was still worth a few thousand silvers! It couldn't be used for cooking!
Yuehan's face scrunched up like the wrinkles on a bun. She said, "Young Master, why don't I try selling it at the foot of the mountain?"
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment. "That's a good idea.
Alright, let's do that. You can also buy some stuff when the time comes. "
As the two of them were discussing, they suddenly heard someone shouting from outside the door, "Is Junior Martial Brother Li in?"
Li Chengfeng walked out to see Qiu Chuqiu returning but An Tong was not with him. He politely asked, "Senior Brother Qiu, why did you come back?
Is there anything else I can help you with? "
Qiu Chuqiu saw Li Chengfeng's guarded expression and scoffed. "Junior Brother Li, your Seven-Coloured Sickle Sickle Flowers have been a great help. To be honest, we are suspicious of your identity but it is Hidden Sword Court's rule to reward those who contribute.
That's why when Crescent Valley opens tomorrow, you can come with us. "
Li Chengfeng was completely clueless about the Spiritual Mountain Sect so he took the opportunity to ask, "I was just about to ask, Senior Brother, where is Crescent Valley?"
Qiu Chuqiu said, "Crescent Valley opens once every four years. Inside are some of the magical beasts and beasts that the Spiritual Mountain Sect breeds. Any Spiritual Mountain Sect disciple who does not have a magical pet can enter the valley. The captured magical beasts can be tamed as magical pets."
Li Chengfeng probed, "How many magical beasts are there?
Is it dangerous? "
Qiu Chuqiu looked a little impatient. "Crescent Valley is split into three parts. The front part is suitable for new disciples as there are only low-level magical beasts. The middle part is for Foundation Establishment disciples who have mastered magical powers. The magical beasts here are very powerful and bloodthirsty. The back part is for high-level magical beasts and there are very few of them. Only disciples who have mastered the golden body are allowed to enter. Anyone else would be seeking death."
Li Chengfeng hesitated but did not speak. Qiu Chuqiu huffed. "I've said what I need to say. It's up to you whether you want to go or not.
Tomorrow morning, wait at the entrance of Eagle Peak Mountain. There will be fellow disciples from Hidden Sword Court heading there together. "
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed. Before the afterimage faded, his figure had already appeared tens of meters away. Li Chengfeng, who had been training in martial arts since he was young, could never hope to match this level of martial arts. Li Chengfeng was very envious of him.
"Young Master, should we go?"
Yuehan looked at Qiu Chuqiu's figure, then at Li Chengfeng worriedly. "I just feel like … something's wrong."
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment. "Something's wrong!
However, if we want to become stronger, we must seize every opportunity we have!
It's fine to go check it out tomorrow morning.
You can bring the Rainbow Sickle Senna flowers down the mountain and find a seller. I'll go check Crescent Valley. If there's anything wrong, I'll come back. "
Yuehan hurriedly said, "No, I want to go with Young Master!"
Li Chengfeng glared. "What are you going to do? Are you going to be a burden?"
Yuehan replied seriously, "Young Master, I can help too!
More importantly, if something were to happen to Young Master in the Crescent Valley, would this servant still be able to return alive? "
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then sighed and patted her head. "That's true, we're in the same boat. Neither of us can run away."
Yuehan tilted her head back and smiled. "You're right, the heavens will protect you!"
Li Chengfeng smiled. "I hope so."
Both of them busied themselves with repairing the house. The night passed uneventfully.
Early in the morning the next day, before the sky had even brightened, the two of them had already gotten up. They fetched water from the small stream in the back room and boiled it. After washing up, the two of them took their luggage and set off.
To prevent the Rainbow Sickle Sickle Senna from being stolen, Yuehan carefully folded the Rainbow Sickle Senna in a cloth bag and carried it everywhere she went.
After walking for an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Eagle Mountain. As expected, there were Hidden Sword Court disciples ready to go, led by Grand Senior Brother and Qiu Chuqiu.
Li Chengfeng did not join them immediately. He knew that he was treating Hidden Sword Court as an outsider. Plus, he was the only newcomer in the entire Hidden Sword Court. Everyone else was a senior brother, so he was naturally at a disadvantage.
If they had any evil intentions, then he would really have no answer even if he begged for help.
When it was seven in the morning, the sun had already risen. Grand Senior Brother led more than ten Hidden Sword Court disciples towards the transportation platform. Li Chengfeng followed from afar. However, he did not know that no matter how careful he was, he had already fallen into a trap. Behind him, there was an oriole watching him like an oriole.
"So he's here …" Mieqin nodded slightly. He tilted his head to look at An Tong, who was squatting on the ground and licking his claws. "It's all up to you now. You can only succeed, not fail!"
An Tong sneered, his eyes glinting with bloodlust as he stared at Li Chengfeng.
