Chapter 34

"Thinking back to when I traveled across the Central Continent, I made quite a name for myself. If it weren't for someone publicizing my aphrodisiac effects, forcing me to take refuge in the Congwendao Sect, I would still be traveling now."

"The person who traveled with me is also a renowned great expert among you humans, called Layman Guyue. When he sent me to the Wendao Sect, he even said he would write me into his book so that the whole world would remember me."

Layman Guyue is a famous traveler in the Central Continent. He loves traveling and adventuring, and his footprints are left all over the Central Continent, the Demon Territory, the Buddhist Kingdom... and there are legends of him in every place.

Legend has it that he served as a historian in the Great Xia Dynasty, recording in detail the romantic encounters of Xia Di among the common people, as well as how many illegitimate children he had.

In the Demon Territory, he was abducted by a Dragon Princess and escaped the marriage when forced to marry, being hunted all the way to the Buddhist Kingdom.

In the Buddhist Kingdom, he impersonated a monk to swindle people. Whenever he was found to have logical loopholes or encountered questions he couldn't answer, he would say, "The Buddha says it cannot be spoken." Later, this sentence became widely circulated in the Buddhist Kingdom.

Layman Guyue wrote his observations and experiences into books, which are quite popular in the Cultivation Realm.

Although there are no records clearly stating Layman Guyue's cultivation base, Lu Yang thought it shouldn't be low—if his cultivation had been even a little bit lower, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

The Ginseng Doll is a very good teacher. Many of the things it talked about were past events it had personally experienced, and even several medicinal herbs in the medicine garden were discovered by it and Layman Shuiyue during their travels. Lu Yang listened with great interest, nodding his head.

The person and the ginseng arrived at a small hut built of flowers and grass. The closer they got to the hut, the more they could feel the nearly tangible vitality contained within, which made Lu Yang's heart jump with fright.

"Something's wrong!" Lu Yang clutched his chest, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Thump, thump, thump... Lu Yang's heartbeat grew faster and faster, as if countless small insects were flying around his ears, buzzing non-stop.

Listening carefully, Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart and a shiver down his spine; that wasn't the sound of small insects at all, but countless people speaking inside his body!

Those voices said they were trapped inside his body and wanted to leave, wanted to leave...

The Ginseng Doll was the first to notice Lu Yang's abnormality and shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, hey, an outsider is here, you guys be careful, put away your vitality, hurry up!"

Lu Yang circulated his cultivation technique to calm his boiling blood, and the voices gradually disappeared.

Lu Yang knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. Everything just now wasn't an illusion; there really was something inside his body. What was it?!

The Ginseng Doll put down the empty spirit stones and ran to Lu Yang, its tone filled with apology.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet."

Unlike the human race, the cultivation of Medicine Kings doesn't look at cultivation base, only at age. The Ginseng Doll couldn't tell Lu Yang's cultivation base, just felt he was quite pleasing to the eye.

"What was that just now?" Lu Yang was still shaken, as if he had walked a circle through the Nine Nether Hell.

"Little Ba and the Female Demon Head have too high a cultivation base among you humans, making me overlook the impact of our vitality on you."

"Our vitality is too vigorous, vigorous enough to make every one of your organs develop its own will and become a brand-new individual. Only when you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, with your acupoints perfected and your golden body leak-proof, will you no longer be affected by our vitality."

Hearing the Ginseng Doll's movement, countless three-inch-tall medicinal herbs came jumping and hopping to Lu Yang's side.

"Ginseng King, is this a human? Why is he so small?"

"What do you mean so small? He is clearly as tall as us. Could it be that you are also very small yourself!"

"It must be a spell. Human spells are very magical; what's strange about becoming big or small? I've even seen spells that change men into women, and humans into demons."

"This person's cultivation doesn't seem very high; hasn't he reached the Pregnancy stage?"

"What Pregnancy stage? King Lin, your memory is getting worse and worse; that's called the Nascent Soul stage."

"He doesn't even seem to be able to stand steady; let's carry him into the house."

The little Medicine Kings discussed noisily, which was uncomfortably buzzing in his ears.

They lifted Lu Yang over their heads and carried him into the hut built of flowers and grass.

The Enlightenment Tree King stood outside, scratching its trunk, its leaves rustling. It was too big to fit into the hut.

Only after entering the hut did Lu Yang discover that it wasn't built of flowers and grass, but a hut built of ancient wood. Under the influence of the little Medicine Kings' vitality, the ancient wood had come back to life, growing new leaves and flowers that covered the original appearance of the ancient wood.

Lu Yang felt much better. He slowly stood up and identified these Medicine Kings.

Coincidentally, he didn't recognize a single one.

"Human, what is your name?" asked a small grass with three tender leaves. Its whole body was silver, and there were spots of starlight on the leaf surface, like a miniature of the universe.

"Junior Lu Yang, I don't know who you are, Senior..." Lu Yang asked politely. According to age, the little Medicine Kings were not just his seniors, but the seniors of everyone in the Congwendao Sect.

"It is the Three-Leaf Star Herb; we all call it the Star King." Another little Medicine King spoke quickly. It was a seven-colored flower, its petals corresponding to the five colors of the five elements, and the center of the flower was divided into black and white, with a dot of white in the black and a dot of black in the white, in the shape of a Taiji, like an ink painting, extremely beautiful, making one involuntarily immerse oneself in it.

"I am the Flower of the End of Time; just call me the End King. Everyone says I am the most beautiful flower. I think this is because someone is jealous of my charm and wants to praise me to death. As a humble Medicine King, I think I am only the second most beautiful flower in the world..." The Flower of the End of Time chattered on and on.

Lu Yang stared at the Flower of the End of Time for two seconds, his pupils gradually dilating, somewhat incredulous. Although he didn't know what the Flower of the End of Time looked like, he had heard of its great name.

"The Flower of the End of Time, is that the flower that claims it will only bloom in its most beautiful posture when the world ends and living beings are devastated, even causing time to freeze for it?!"

It's no wonder Lu Yang was so uncomposed. According to ancient records, the blooming of the Flower of the End of Time is equivalent to the end of the world, equivalent to a major reshuffling of the entire world.

But judging from historical records, such a major event had never happened in the world!

The Flower of the End of Time scratched its nectar in distress: "Someone did say that, but I remember I bloomed when it was very peaceful, and everyone was happy, and I didn't see any disaster. Perhaps the matter about my blooming is a rumor."

Lu Yang just wanted to ask something else when he heard another little Medicine King speaking.

"Lu Yang, what are you doing in the medicine garden? Did Little Ba ask you to come and pick medicine?" asked a small green Qilin, carved like fine jade, exceptionally exquisite, not like a thing of the human world.

Lu Yang was startled again: "Qilin?!"

What is a Qilin? That is the most mysterious demon beast. It's hard to find one or two in the whole world, much rarer than the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Only in the fragmented records of ancient books can one find its traces. The Congwendao Sect actually has one?

The foundation of the Congwendao Sect is terrifying beyond Lu Yang's imagination.

The Ginseng Doll explained: "It is the Qilin Immortal Herb. Its current image is its Dharma form. Your cultivation is not enough. When you reach the Spirit Transformation stage and cultivate the Heavenly Eye, you will be able to see its true form."
