Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at the mountain gate in front of her. It stood high, probably more than ten feet high. The characters “Shang Institution” were written in a flamboyant way and appeared domineering and majestic, evoking respect in all who saw it such that no one dared to blaspheme it.
The group spent the night at the bottom of the mountain because they were not yet part of the Shang Institution and could not go up the mountain. Only Inner Disciples were qualified to go up there.
The next day, when the sky was just turning bright, Deng Hu appeared in front of everyone again with Weng Yue still by his side along with some External Disciples wearing gray and white uniforms. He issued each of them a jade tile.
“Use your spiritual force to enter your name into the jade tile and your name will be displayed on it. When you complete the exam and succeed in walking out of the Wanxiang Forest alive, you will have passed the exam and become an official member of the Shang Institution. There are all kinds of vicious Demonic Beasts in the Wanxiang Forest, so I will give you one month to complete the exam. If you want to give up halfway, just erase your name from the jade tile and someone will be responsible for sending you out of the Wanxiang Forest…”
After giving out the jade tiles, Deng Hu talked about some of the examination rules, then he led the candidates to the entrance of the Wanxiang Forest, using powerful spiritual force to build the force field.
“This is the entrance to the Wanxiang Forest. You can enter with the jade tile in hand.” As Deng Hu spoke, he looked at Feng Tianlan, and seeing her slender figure, he felt a sense of familiarity. Why did he seem like the First Miss who had subdued him?
However, when he saw the slightly raised Adam’s apple, Deng Hu brushed away the idea. It seemed that he was thinking too much.
As soon as Feng Tianlan entered the Wanxiang Forest, Shi Yiqing walked over with Chen Xinyi. “Master Shen, let us go together so that it will be easier to complete the tasks.”
“That is not necessary, I like to be alone.” Feng Tianlan did not even look at Chen Xinyi as she answered, and walked away. She did not plan to team up with anyone and wanted to do this on her own.
Chen Xinyi followed behind aggrievedly and asked in a choked voice, “Master Shen, what have I done to make you dislike me so much?”
“I don’t dislike you, but I dislike how you are pestering me non-stop,” Feng Tianlan said coldly, then raised her hand to look at the jade tile, which had her name on it. There were some tasks detailed on it. The simplest task was to gather herbs. Looking at the name of the medicine, it was the Mingyou Grass.
She had never heard of this herbal medicine. Perhaps when there was no one for a while, she could ask Azurite, since Azurite was familiar with all the herbal medicine in the world.
Chen Xinyi became more aggrieved and her eyes reddened. “I just like you and I can’t bear to see you being let down by the Demon King…”
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Tianlan’s figure flashed past and she quickly disappeared from their sight. She really wanted to tell Chen Xinyi that she was actually a woman!
When there was no one around, Feng Tianlan asked Azurite with her spiritual consciousness, “Azurite, what is the Mingyou Grass? Where can I find it?”
“Mingyou Grass is a herb used to refine the Calming Pill. It is black all over, like a flower that blooms in hell. It looks very evil, so that’s why it is called the Mingyou Grass. It loves darkness and is guarded by a Tier Five Demonic Beast. It is not very easy to gather…”
After listening to Azurite’s words, Feng Tianlan curled up the corners of her lips. “White Cutie-Pie, go look for the Xuanming Snake.”
As Feng Tianlan’s words ended, White Cutie-Pie came out of the Pill Scroll Realm and jumped onto Feng Tianlan’s shoulder, rubbing her neck with its white fluffy head. “Meow~Meow~”
Hooray! Finally, it could be with its Master and there wasn’t that male Master around to interrupt its cuddling session with its Master. It was so happy, and it really wanted to eat some dried fish
