Chapter 173: Unknown Gaze
"I see, so you would now water the herbs?"
The disciples shook their head, "After plucking the weeds, we usually massage senior Han, so..."
They weren’t sure if Lin Feng wanted a massage too or not.
Lin Feng was speechless listening to that, it really was quite amusing. He wasn’t the least interested in that, he might have thought if it was women though... He sighed, "Tell me your names."
"Shen Yu."
"Tang Zhi."
"Alright, now go and give water to the spirit herbs, I don’t need a massage."
"As you wish, senior..." They left immediately.
Lin Feng shook his head and started cultivating.
...
At noon, finally someone came. Lin Feng looked outside the entrance as a woman landed softly on the pathway.
The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw Lin Feng, "Junior brother Lin, pleasant seeing you here."
Lin Feng smiled, "It’s good to see you again, senior sister." It was the woman whom he had met while going down the mountain.
The woman nodded and entered inside, "I was here to get my spirit herbs, junior brother."
Lin Feng opened the register, "What is your name, senior sister, and which faction?" When he opened it, he could see that the names of all the disciples were divided by their faction.
"Yun Feiyan, Battle Faction, junior brother, it was 2 months ago."
Lin Feng nodded and went to the record of 2 months ago and found her name.
Yun Feiyan - Two Grade 6 herbs, Starsea Root and True Source Vine, for 60 days.
Since disciples had to pay on the day they planted the spirit herbs, he didn’t have to take anything.
"Alright, senior sister, you have to show me the way as I don’t know where they are." Lin Feng stood and gestured for her to enter the spirit field.
"Of course, junior, let’s go."
As they began to go through the spirit field, Lin Feng began to observe all the herbs more thoroughly. His memory was quite strong, far stronger than cultivators of his realm.
It wasn’t surprising since his memory didn’t really represent his current realm.
"Where is senior sister Xie, junior brother?"
"She is cultivating, senior sister." How could Lin Feng not feel her desire when she looked at him, so he had a feeling why she even asked.
Most of the female disciples he had met in this sect had that desire whenever they looked at him. Since he wasn’t interested in them, he just ignored them.
"Seeing that you have reached the Mid Stage of Core Formation realm, junior brother, you must have dual cultivated with senior sister Xie, right?"
"Indeed, senior sister."
"Hehehe... you won’t believe it, junior brother, we used to bet on the fact when senior sister would start dual cultivating... sigh, sadly most of the disciples who were from senior sister Xie and my generation are dead, especially those who had been acquainted with senior sister..."
Lin Feng listened quietly. He doubted Xie Ruyue considered someone as a friend other than Huo Meiling.
Maybe she stopped even thinking about them after death, at least she never mentioned about them.
They came to the area where only Grade 6 herbs were present. They walked for a while before Yun Feiyan stopped. Lin Feng could already see the Starsea Root here. It was at the Late Stage.
It was planted in little damp soil, which was perfect for the growth of Starsea Root.
"I planted it at the Mid Stage, it’s good that it has broken through, or else I would have to extend its duration..." Yun Feiyan sat down and plucked the Starsea Root.
When it came out, the roots had a strange bluish shine. This was the reason it was named Starsea Root. It was useful in strengthening of the soul. It really was a rare herb.
This was the benefit of a good spirit field. 2 months was a very minuscule time for making a Grade 6 spirit herb to have a minor breakthrough compared to the natural time, which was definitely about a decade.
Surely she had spent some spirit stones for 2 spirit herbs for minor breakthroughs, but it was very low considering the grade of the spirit herbs. It was totally worth it.
Although Lin Feng doubted that this spirit field was that good, this Starsea Root must already have been on the cusp of breakthrough to have completed it in 2 months.
Yun Feiyan stood up and came to another section where a wooden stick was used to support a spirit herb which was a vine. It was her second spirit herb, True Source Vine. It was at the Late Stage.
Yun Feiyan happily picked it up too and stored it in her storage ring.
"Junior brother, this is it, I will take my leave now. Take care."
Lin Feng nodded, "You too, senior sister."
Yun Feiyan didn’t extend her stay and flew away.
No doubt this whole spirit field had a detection array, so entering without the entrance might not be possible, but leaving wasn’t an issue.
Lin Feng took a different route to go back so that he could see some other spirit herbs. He could already see the pattern.
This whole spirit field was divided into sections from Grade 1 to Grade 9 probably. The lower grades were near the entrance hall while the higher grades were away from it.
He came back and started his cultivation. Reaching the Late Stage was now the only priority for him.
Suddenly, he felt that someone was observing him. It was from spiritual sense since he was inside the hall.
He was surprised a little. Was it Yun Feiyan? If it was her, then what was the point of observing him. If it wasn’t her, then who could it be, Elder Lan? Elder Dong?
Were they keeping an eye on him for some reason... or he was wrong and it was none of them. He couldn’t figure out from just feeling that someone was observing him.
If he had his soul sea, then he would have been able to understand the strength of this spiritual sense. It would have been enough to narrow down his targets.
Well, it was better to ignore it for the time being. It wouldn’t affect him in cultivation anyway.
