Senior Brother, My Lips Are Sealed Tighter Than a Dead Man's!

At the Medicine King Palace, Chu Xinghe found his senior brother Ma Biao.

"Senior brother, regarding what happened in the Muyue Kingdom today, please remember to instruct all the fellow disciples in Lingtian to absolutely not let the Grand Elder know about it!"

After hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Ma Biao was taken aback at first, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, are you planning to suppress this matter for now and find an opportunity to give the Grand Elder a surprise?"

Wow... Senior Brother Ma Biao's mind is really quick.

I was just thinking about how to come up with a plausible reason for my senior Ma Biao.

My senior brother really understands me; he's already written this all for me.

He nodded vigorously at Ma Biao, and Ma Biao nodded back just as hard.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, don't worry, I'm a man of tight-lipped secrets!"

"Thank you so much, senior brother!" Chu Xinghe was moved to tears. What a wonderful senior brother! Not only did he come up with the perfect reason for him, but most importantly, he kept his mouth shut!

After spending half a day catching fish at the Technique Repository Tower, Chu Xinghe returned to his room in the evening and had just sat down when he saw Senior Brother Feng Fei walking over with a not-so-good expression.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, have you heard the news today?"

Chu Xinghe was startled. Had the news leaked out? Senior Brother Ma Biao had promised to keep his mouth shut tighter than a dead man's!

"Wh... what news?"

"Bad news from Martial Emperor City: the top three you previously expelled have joined Martial Emperor City!"

Upon hearing Feng Fei's words, Chu Xinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior Brother Feng Fei, you call this bad news? This is clearly great news!

These three did not disappoint me and successfully joined Martial Emperor City. However, this is only the first step in your success. From now on, you must remember that I, Chu Xinghe, was blind to your abilities. You must always strive to stand out from the crowd and make it your lifelong goal to trample the Chu Xinghe Vast Heaven Sect under my feet.

At the same time, Chu Xinghe felt that Senior Brother Ma Biao was a reliable person. He was known for his tight-lipped nature, and sure enough, he didn't let any secrets slip out.

"The three of them joined Martial Emperor City at the same time and even spread rumors that you, Junior Brother, are blind. That's simply outrageous!" Feng Fei said angrily.

Chu Xinghe remained calm.

Then, Senior Brother Feng Fei continued to bring various good news.

Mo Kai, one of the top three whom he had driven away, was truly gifted. He must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter, as he had also broken through his mental barrier.

Even more perfect is that he mastered the second ultimate skill of Martial Emperor Martial Emperor City Unparalleled Tyrant Sword, as soon as he entered Martial Emperor City, and is now known as a peerless genius second only to Zheng Yu.

This guy even declared that he would trample Chu Xinghe under his feet in this lifetime, and that he would let Vast Heaven Sect know that losing him, Mo Kai, was the greatest loss Vast Heaven Sect had ever suffered.

Listen to this!

What a good kid! Chu Xinghe was Mo Kai by what Senior Brother Feng Fei said.

That's why Mo Kai wasn't here; otherwise, Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens that he would definitely give Mo Kai a loving hug and consider him his lifelong best friend.

"By the way, Junior Brother Xinghe, the Grand Elder gave instructions regarding the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom today."

"Huh?" Chu Xinghe exclaimed in surprise.

"The Grand Elder said that the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom should learn alchemy, and starting tomorrow, I, their senior brother, will personally teach them the art of identifying herbs."

As soon as Feng Fei finished speaking, Chu Xinghe, who had been tense, instantly relaxed.

I thought the Grand Elder had discovered some clue.

Feelings are like learning alchemy!

Hmph! This time, he had thought ahead of the Grand Elder. When he left the spirit field that afternoon, Chu Xinghe specifically asked Mu Bai if the people of the Muyue Kingdom had any special advantages in alchemy.

Mu Bai patted his chest and assured himself that others had tried to get the people of the Muyue Kingdom to refine medicine before, but the geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom seemed to have absolutely no talent for it.

Therefore, Chu Xinghe remained calm.

Learning alchemy is good. As the saying goes, the first step in alchemy is to identify the ingredients. The Grand Elder claims to be a genius with extraordinary talent, a once-in-a-century talent.

But how many years has the Grand Elder been identifying medicinal herbs?

Five whole years.

What about the people of the Muyue Kingdom? They should be able to identify medicinal herbs for at least ten years without any problems, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe said solemnly, "I'm grateful for your help, Senior Brother Feng Fei!"

"Junior brother, what are you saying? Although the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom don't have a good reputation, since they've joined my Spirit Crane Palace, we'll naturally teach them properly."

After thanking Senior Brother Feng Fei for his generosity once again, Chu Xinghe went to sleep in a good mood.

After a good night's sleep, he personally accompanied Senior Brother Feng Fei to find Mu Bai and the others the next day, instructing Mu Bai to diligently learn the art of identifying medicinal herbs from Senior Brother Feng Fei.

The genius of the Three Hundred Muyue Kingdom was moved to tears.

They had heard before that Spirit Crane Palace disciples were required to learn the art of alchemy, but none of the three hundred Muyue Kingdom disciples had been taught it, which greatly frustrated them.

Everyone says that only those who have mastered the art of alchemy are true disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace. But are the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom not even qualified to learn the art of alchemy?

Today, Senior Brother Xinghe actually asked Senior Brother Feng Fei to help him pass on the teachings.

Although Senior Brother Xinghe kept saying that it was arranged by the Grand Elder, Mu Bai was certain that Senior Brother Xinghe must have asked the Grand Elder for permission.

The disciples of the Muyue Kingdom had never achieved anything in the art of alchemy before, but Mu Bai's divine revelation meant that this time they would study with all their might and would never let down Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness.

Chu Xinghe personally led three hundred disciples from the Muyue Kingdom to test the spiritual fire.

The result greatly disappointed Chu Xinghe!

As expected of those with maxed-out talent stats, all three hundred geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom were able to communicate with spiritual fire.

Although the grade wasn't too high, it certainly wasn't too low either, which startled Chu Xinghe, who pulled Mu Bai aside again.

"Aren't you from the Muyue Kingdom and lack talent in alchemy?"

"Mu Bai dared not deceive Senior Brother Xinghe. There really was a sect that had allowed disciples of our Muyue Kingdom to learn alchemy before. Although we could communicate with spiritual fire, when it came to alchemy, we were... utterly hopeless."

Only after Mu Bai said this did Chu Xinghe finally feel relieved.

These days are like riding a rollercoaster.

After testing the spiritual fire, Senior Brother Feng Fei personally led the people of the Muyue Kingdom to the Medicine King Palace. To refine medicine, one must first identify the herbs; this is something everyone must go through.

When the familiar Evening Primrose, Moon Nether Grass, and Moon Soul Grass appeared, Chu Xinghe seemed to recall the scene of being tormented to the point of death by these three herbs when he was learning to identify medicinal herbs.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe silently prayed for Mu Bai and the others for a minute.

I'm not trying to trick you guys, but as the saying goes, even if you endure hardship, you won't necessarily become a superior person. If you learn to identify medicinal herbs here for ten years, consider it as repaying Senior Brother Xinghe, okay?

A group of disciples from the Muyue Kingdom came to Sancao. Senior Brother Feng Fei, just like before, pointed to the Sancao on the table and asked Mu Bai and the others to see what the differences were.

To this, Chu Xinghe could only say that if anyone saw the three herbs for the first time and could tell the difference between them, that would be a miracle.

I studied for more than half a month, and I couldn't even distinguish between the three herbs anymore. In the end, everything looked like one of the three herbs to me.

Mu Bai walked to the table, looked at it for more than ten seconds, and said with a serious expression, "Senior Brother Feng Fei, this is Evening Primrose, this is Moon Nether Grass, and this should be Moon Soul Grass!"

Feng Fei: "???"

Chu Xinghe: "?????????"

"Junior Brother Mu Bai has learned the art of identifying herbs?" Feng Fei looked bewildered as he picked up the three herbs to confirm, and Mu Bai's statement was entirely correct.

"No... isn't this basic common sense? These three kinds of grass are obviously completely different!"

Mu Bai spoke, the three hundred geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom all nodded in agreement!

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded!

This is a nightmare, isn't it? Or a nightmare that's like a TV series?

These three herbs look completely different?

Mu Bai, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say that?

Even someone like me, who has inherited the Medicine Saint Inheritance, wouldn't dare to immediately identify which of the three herbs is which at a glance. How could you possibly say they're completely different?

But before Chu Xinghe could figure out what had happened, Feng Fei solemnly took out more of the mixed herbs and asked Mu Bai and all the Muyue Kingdom people behind him to identify them.

A moment later, Feng Fei's eyes began to gleam.

Chu Xinghe's eyes began to darken.

Faced with hundreds and thousands of mixed herbs, the people of the Muyue Kingdom swarmed forward and easily categorized all three herbs in less than a minute, demonstrating to Chu Xinghe what it meant to be completely different.

If it were just Mu Bai who figured it out, we could say he's exceptionally talented, but all three hundred people from the Muyue Kingdom seem to have cheat codes. What the hell is this?

What happened to your supposedly terrible alchemy talent?

Are you kidding me?

Then, to Chu Xinghe's utter bewilderment, Feng Fei brought out even more and more difficult-to-identify medicinal herbs, and then... the people of the Muyue Kingdom once again demonstrated what a completely different method of identification truly meant.

No matter how similar the medicinal herbs may look, the people of the Muyue Kingdom can immediately tell them apart at a glance.

In a matter of moments, the surrounding area was in an uproar!

Countless people who heard the news rushed over from all directions. When they saw Muyue Kingdom's incredible method of identifying medicine, everyone's first reaction was, "Senior Brother Xinghe is awesome!"

In fact, the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace have been discussing in the past few days what the way out is for the Muyue Kingdom.

But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't come up with an answer.

But today, everyone was truly astonished by the ability of the disciples from the Muyue Kingdom to identify medicinal herbs.

So this is the true strength of the Muyue Kingdom?

So Senior Brother Xinghe knew all along! Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed a master strategist.

Chu Xinghe didn't know what "calculating without fail" meant, but he knew that the people from the Muyue Kingdom were definitely hired by Ma Liang Chu Xinghe mess with him.

What happened to his supposedly terrible talent for alchemy?

What happened to the "loser story"? This is supposed to be 300 losers? This is 300 overpowered characters!

Mu Bai seemed to be receiving so much attention for the first time, and he was a little shy. However, his shyness was overshadowed by his gratitude towards Senior Brother Xinghe.

"Mu Bai, is this what you meant by having extremely poor talent in alchemy?" Chu Xinghe asked Mu Ran.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xinghe, our Muyue Kingdom is really bad at alchemy, but we're passable at identifying herbs. Our Wood Spirits have a natural ability to sense medicinal herbs, so they can easily distinguish the types of herbs."

Upon hearing Mu Bai's words, Chu Xinghe nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

You call this "just okay"?

Look at the expressions on the faces of your fellow disciples around you. How many of them have been studying for three to five years and are still being utterly humiliated by Sancao?

You guys came in completely different from everyone else right away. Did you even consider how your senior classmates felt?

Have you considered Senior Brother Xinghe's feelings...?

As the saying goes, the more setbacks a person experiences, the stronger their mentality becomes. Chu Xinghe quickly stabilized his mindset!

Stay calm! Mu Bai himself said he's only good at identifying herbs! His alchemy skills are terrible!

So even though I had a huge disadvantage at the start of this game, I'm determined to turn the tide!
