“Ding Xuanji’s sister?” Upon hearing this, Fang Lin raised his brows slightly but did not appear overly surprised.

Instead, the likes of Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng and others, seemed somewhat tense and grave.

The woman was dressed in a long purple dress. She was tall and had a beautiful face, but the haughty demeanor between her brows made her seem high above, untouchable to others.

This time, Fang Lin did not ask the silly question of who Ding Xuanji was — having been a formal disciple for a while now, he was familiar with some of the Pill Sect’s influential figures.

Ding Xuanji was one of the Four Elites of the Pill Sect and, in terms of seniority, was even above Yu Qiufan. When faced with Ding Xuanji, even Yu Qiufan had to respectfully address him as ‘Brother Ding’.

This was not because Ding Xuanji was stronger than Yu Qiufan, but because

Ding Xuanji had joined the sect earlier. Comparing their alchemy skills, Ding Xuanji had an edge over Yu Qiufan, but in martial arts, Yu Qiufan was slightly better.

Nonetheless, Ding Xuanji was revered by the disciples of the Pill Sect, exercising indubitable authority like Yu Qiufan. Even the elders gave him face.

“What’s her name?” Fang Lin asked quietly.

Xu Shangao answered: “Her name is Ding Linglong. Relying on her brother’s fame, few dare to provoke her. She’s quite willful. It’s better we keep our distance.”

Fang Lin nodded in agreement. It was normal for a girl like Ding Linglong with such a prestigious brother to be somewhat arrogant.

“Let’s go elsewhere.” Fang Lin suggested, leading his group to another location to collect medicinal herbs.

No one disagreed, all preferring to keep a distance from Ding Linglong to avoid trouble.

Upon seeing Fang Lin and his group leave, a hint of disdain showed on Ding Linglong’s beautiful face.

“That Fang Lin is nothing special,” Ding Linglong said nonchalantly to the people around her.

“Sister Ding is right, Fang Lin just got lucky. He can’t compare with Sister

Ding.”

“Sister Ding is our star; far superior than a simple Fang Lin.” fre(e)webnov(l).com

“Fang Lin is smart enough to know Sister Ding’s prowess.”

Ding Linglong appeared to enjoy the flattery from those around her, the proud look on her face even more pronounced.

Fang Lin, along with Xu Shangao and Wu Mengsheng, found another densely packed herb field. It was smaller than Ding Linglong’s, but was more than good enough for them.

Xu Shangao and the others immediately rushed into the herb field, excitedly gathering medicinal herbs.

Fang Lin, too, began harvesting. Though most of these herbs were common, they were plentiful and mature, making them worthwhile to pick.

After all, it wasn’t easy to get to Medicine-Seeking Peak, and Fang Lin wouldn’t be able to face himself if he didn’t fill up his Nine Palace Bag. “This orchid grass isn’t bad. Almost a hundred years.” “Huh? Mutated Swallowtail Root. Great stuff!”

“These Tiger Head Flowers are decent too.”

While looking over these herbs, Fang Lin hastily added them to his Nine Palace Bag.

Compared to Fang Lin, others were much slower because they were not as talented at identifying herbs. They had to confirm that these weren’t poisonous or worthless herbs before picking them, making them much less efficient than Fang Lin.

However, the herb field was quite large. Even though Xu Shangao was slow, he was still able to collect quite a few herbs.

On the other side, Ding Linglong was also gathering medicinal herbs, but there was a difference.

Ding Linglong hadn’t even lifted a finger. Instead, she held her hands in front of her chest, looking relaxed and at ease.

Anyone who picked herbs had to hand a portion over to Ding Linglong. Thus, without doing anything herself, she managed to get a substantial potion of medicinal herbs.

Shockingly, none of the disciples of the Pill Sect seemed to resent this, instead showing ingratiating smiles when offering their herbs to Ding Linglong. Fang Lin, watching this spectacle from a distance, was rendered speechless.

“Brother Fang, over here! Come take a look!” Suddenly, Wu Mengsheng waved and called out to Fang Lin. Catching himself, he walked towards Fang Lin, lowering his voice to say, “Brother Fang, I’ve found something valuable. I’m not certain though, you should come and see.”

Wu Mengsheng was gravely serious, a hint of elation visible in his eyes. He must have come across an extraordinary herb.

“Don’t make a scene.” Fang Lin followed Wu Mengsheng to the spot.

There, Wu Mengsheng carefully pushed aside the surrounding herbs to reveal a pure, flawless white flower on the ground. It was naturally beautiful and charming.

Fang Lin’s gaze concentrated on the flower. He sensed a refreshing and elegant fragrance that lifted his spirits.

The white flower had nine petals without blemish. They were like pure jade.

In the center of the flower, a spot of bright red stigma was as eye-catching as a poppy in a field of flowers.

On the stem of the plant, there were only two green leaves. Their existence seemed to deepen Fang Lin’s gaze.

Upon closer inspection, the two green leaves had faint phoenix imprints, as if a phoenix was spreading its wings to fly.

Fang Lin’s eyes flickered, lost in thought.

“This is a Jade Cleansing Flower that has been stained with the blood of a phoenix. Even a drop of very diluted phoenix blood can cause the Jade Cleansing Flower to mutate,” Fang Lin thought. His eyes saturated with excitement.

The ordinary Jade Cleansing Flower couldn’t be described as anything more than a common herb, even if it had aged for a century. The efficacy of its drug properties was just slightly stronger than the usual.

However, this Jade Cleansing Flower, in terms of appearance and aura, greatly surpassed the ordinary Jade Cleansing Flower. In particular, its two leaves stained by the blood of the phoenix – they were treasures among treasures.

In his previous life as the Pill Sovereign, Fang Lin had concocted a pill using real phoenix blood. Therefore, this Jade Cleansing Flower was supposed to mean nothing to him.

Now though, as a hero fallen on hard times, Fang Lin was desperate for something like this Jade Cleansing Flower—it was greatly beneficial to him.

This Jade Cleansing Flower was discovered by Wu Mengsheng first. As such, Fang Lin felt, it would seem wrong to monopolize it.

“Hmm? This Jade Cleansing Flower has mutated. It looks quite good, and I’ve taken a liking to it. You guys should give it to me.” Just then, a slightly surprised female voice sounded. Fang Lin turned to see Ding Linglong. She had somehow approached quietly and was now eyeing the Jade Cleansing Flower.

Wu Mengsheng regarded Ding Linglong with suspicion, while Fang Lin furrowed his brow.

Apparently unbothered by their less-than-welcoming expressions, Ding Linglong reached out to pluck the Jade Cleansing Flower..
