Bamboo Mound

Chapter 101 The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley Summons Me

"If there's nothing else, go back. If there is, just say so."

"Then I won't disturb you any longer while you're watching the play. This is my badge. If you come to the theater again in the future, you can use this badge and I won't charge you any fees."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu took out a silver, round, carved floral seal and handed it to Ning Chang with both hands. Then he turned and closed the door.

"Sigh~ cause and effect~" Ning Chang sighed, examined the badge for a moment, and then put it away.

Lin Yumeng has both spiritual roots and talent, so it wouldn't be a waste of resources to train her. If he weren't too busy and lacked the qualifications, he would have taken on several disciples.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and laughed at himself.

"I've only taken a few steps and I'm already thinking about becoming a teacher, haha..."

Only then did they turn their attention back to the stage.

......

Just as the head steward Liu had said, this theater was indeed quite good. Including today, he had been there for three days and hadn't seen a single play repeated!

However, some problems were also discovered at the same time.

Although there are instruments like the suona and erhu, the music played is not all festive tunes. The most poignant pieces are those of moderate and peaceful melodies, or lingering and profound expressions of love and regret.

Not a single piece of music, not even one that is deeply sorrowful and tear-jerking, has been heard of.

It seems to be out of step with the times or out of place. After all, theaters are for entertainment. If you want to hear something sad, you might as well go find someone's white seat and listen to a piece of music.

But that has nothing to do with him anymore.

It was nearing evening when the performance on stage ended, and the communication talisman left to him by Wang Yi on his body began to move.

"Junior Brother Ning Chang, the recruitment is over, it's time to go."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chang got up, stretched, pushed open the door, and walked out. He returned to the dead-end alley and disappeared in the shadows.

At a window in the theater, Attendant Liu watched Ning Chang leave the entire time.

Upon arriving at the plaza, one would find that the crowd of onlookers had mostly dispersed, the magical artifacts and tables and chairs used for the test had been put away, and the disciples who had passed the recruitment stood quietly in three neat rows behind several spiritual platforms.

"Are they just waiting for me...?"

"Senior brother, wait for me a moment," Ning Chang said to Wang Yi and the other person.

Before Wang Yi could even nod, he started walking and arrived at the front of the astrology pavilion's queue.

After sizing up the woman who was still in first place, he asked softly, "Is your surname Lin?"

The woman was dressed in blue, with no makeup on her face. Her fair complexion was quite pretty, yet she didn't have a hint of glamour.

When Ning Chang asked him a question, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze, and answered clearly and respectfully, "Yes."

Hearing her ethereal, pure, and unadulterated voice, Ning Chang immediately recognized that this was Lin Yumeng. Her voice was indeed as others had described, truly exquisite.

He then took out a spatial bag and handed it out.

"Here are two relatively universal martial arts techniques that can be used as supplements regardless of your school of martial arts. Also, here is a bamboo leaf. Don't lose it."

"There are also some tutorials, which I have written in another book. Don't lose them before you finish reading them."

After saying that, he took advantage of Lin Yumeng's surprise as she received the space bag with both hands and turned back to Wang Yidan's side.

In that spatial bag, he put two cultivation techniques, "Spirit Control" and "Sharp Edge," because after some thought, he realized that only these two were suitable for dissemination.

"Qingyun Step" is unnecessary, since the Astrology Pavilion should also have some footwork martial arts techniques, and "Tianyuan Spirit Body" is even less suitable for cultivation. Without sufficient spiritual power to support it, it is better not to have learned it at all.

As for the Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation diagram and explanation, he placed it at the very bottom, since he wasn't sure if the Astrology Pavilion actually had this formation.

If not, that new formation would be a hot potato in the Astrology Pavilion, and if word got out, it would directly harm her.

If so, then there are no hidden dangers. Learning a practical formation in advance can also help you stand out among your peers.

The bamboo leaf was imbued with the sixth-level Spirit Platform's Insightful Edge, disguised as ordinary spiritual energy attached to it. It could actively cooperate with the casting of Spirit Control, and even beginner-level Spirit Control could easily manipulate it!

If it senses an intrusion of spiritual energy strong enough to affect the spiritual platform, it will automatically gather and launch an attack!

And the remaining 380 loose spirit stones he had, which was probably enough to cultivate to the next level of Spirit Fusion.

Only then did Lin Yumeng come to her senses and was about to thank Ning Chang.

She didn't understand why the immortal master would bestow martial arts skills upon her alone, but since she had accepted them, she should express her gratitude.

But when he turned around and looked around, he did not find Ning Chang.

As I was searching, I felt a lightness beneath my feet.

It turned out that the recruiter from the weapon-refining pavilion had brought out an iron disc.

Then Ning Chang and the other six people lifted the newly recruited disciples into the air, raising them a height of ten feet off the ground.

Then the discus flew to the ground beneath everyone's feet, and in an instant it expanded to the size of half a square!

The seven men then set everyone down and stood on the discus.

Just as everyone was marveling at the spectacle, the discus suddenly rose into the air and then sped off in one direction.

Half an hour later, the iron disc stopped among the mountains. Ning Chang looked down and saw that the surrounding area was brightly lit by spiritual fire.

"Which sect is this?" Ning Chang asked Dan Tu softly.

"The four sects are all located together on the outer perimeter of the Astrology Pavilion."

Ning Chang nodded upon hearing this. Lian Ping hadn't mentioned this point when he was in the shop, but now it seemed that the rapid exchange between the four factions must have been due to this.

However, he was now even more worried about being found out that he had robbed the weapon-refining workshop's mine.

Just then, the two astrological pavilion spirit tablets carried a group of newly recruited disciples off the iron disc.

Then the scenery flashed by again, and we arrived above a valley.

"Junior Brother Ning Chang, this is Medicine King Valley. Let's go down."

"Ah."

Just after the three men carried the disciples off the iron disc, the iron disc flashed again and disappeared.

At first glance, the valley below seems like a treasure land, with the mountain ranges on both sides forming an oval shape that encloses the valley floor, making it seem more appropriate to describe it as a basin.

It is divided into three parts by two large rivers, with irregularly distributed plots of cultivated land or small fields where spiritual plants are growing.

Once they descended into the basin area, they felt the spiritual energy around them instantly become several times denser, even more so than in the mine!

After the newlyweds were placed in a square, staff members who were waiting there immediately led them away.

Ning Chang followed Wang Yi, preparing to meet the "Sect Master" he mentioned.

On the way, Wang Yi kept telling Ning Chang to relax. Although he had never seen the sect leader's face, according to rumors within the sect, the sect leader was relatively easy to talk to and probably wouldn't do anything outrageous.

Ning Chang didn't think it mattered much. Even if the Yaoxiang grass seeds were taken away, Medicine King Valley would still need the terrain details he provided if it wanted to plant them again.

Even if he were to become an ordinary disciple, with Wang Yi and Dan Tu by his side, after that, probably no one in the sect would be unaware of his existence.
