"Why are you so panicked?"

Chu Feng heard Ji Jiuwu's voice and instantly appeared in the courtyard.

Ji Jiuwu saw his master and hurriedly said, "Master, something bad happened. Ah Yan has fainted."

"Oh."

Chu Feng waved his big hand, and the master and disciple disappeared instantly from the spot. The next second, they appeared in Jiang Yan's courtyard.

Ji Jiuwu looked at Jiang Yan, who was foaming at the mouth, feeling extremely anxious. However, he did not know how to practice medicine, so he could only stand aside and wait helplessly.

Chu Feng just swept a glance at Jiang Yan and said, "This kid is poisoned."

"Ah?"

Ji Jiuwu was stunned on the spot upon hearing this news.

Chu Feng did not say anything more; this kind of toxin meant nothing to him. He simply pointed casually, and after a stream of spiritual energy entered Jiang Yan's body, the latter's complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pfft...

After Jiang Yan spat out a mouthful of black blood, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around with a bewildered expression.

Ji Jiuwu stepped forward immediately and asked, "Ah Yan, are you okay?"

Jiang Yan came back to his senses upon hearing this and saw Chu Feng standing in the courtyard. He hurriedly bowed and said, "This junior greets the Martial God."

"Dispense with the formalities."

Chu Feng asked, "Tell me what happened to you."

Jiang Yan did not hide anything and recounted what had happened to him earlier. After finishing his work every day, he would search the mountains alone for plants to see if they were edible or could be used as medicinal herbs.

As a result, he accidentally ate a bright flower and felt dizzy. When he woke up again, he saw Chu Feng and Ji Jiuwu in the courtyard.

"You kid really are not afraid of death."

Chu Feng teased, "Since you want to know a hundred herbs so much, This Seat will transmit a scroll of scripture to you. It records various herbs and foods. After you study this scripture thoroughly, come find This Seat to become an apprentice."

"Thank you, Senior."

Jiang Yan was about to kneel on the ground to kowtow to Chu Feng, but was stopped by Chu Feng with a casual wave.

"There is no rush to perform such a grand gesture to This Seat yet. It will not be too late to perform the grand gesture after you finish studying the scripture." Chu Feng turned and disappeared from the spot after speaking.

Jiang Yan looked at Chu Feng's vanishing figure and muttered, "Senior Martial God is really a great person!"

Ji Jiuwu said, "Stop praising Master. You should become Master's disciple sooner so you can pursue your own Great Dao."

Jiang Yan felt as if he had been enlightened with perfect wisdom upon hearing these words. He cupped his hands toward Ji Jiuwu and said, "Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother. Junior Brother was too dull before and forgot this point. I also must thank Senior Brother for today's matter."

"Sigh..."

Ji Jiuwu said nonchalantly, "There is no need for such polite words between us. Rest well."

"Mm."

Jiang Yan nodded. After sending Ji Jiuwu away, he sat cross-legged according to the meditation method Ji Jiuwu had taught him a few days ago and began studying the scripture in his mind.

Soon, three large characters appeared in his mind: Shennong Scripture.

With the appearance of these three large characters, many words and patterns appeared in Jiang Yan's mind. Below these patterns were detailed introductions for every type of medicinal herb, and Jiang Yan was immersed in research for a time.

After a long while, Jiang Yan felt a splitting headache. He immediately stopped observing, and upon opening his eyes, he found that the sky was already dark.

"I did not expect to study for several hours in a row. No wonder my head hurts so much. However, with this scripture, I can recognize more plants sooner."

Jiang Yan did not force himself to continue studying. Biting off more than one can chew is not good; it is better to study to his acceptable limit every day.

After setting a small goal for himself, he went to rest. Early the next morning, he got up and followed Senior Brother Ji to carry water and chop wood as usual.

After the two finished all this, Jiang Yan asked curiously, "Senior Brother, you have already become a disciple of Master. Why do you still do these trivial chores every day?"

Ji Jiuwu smiled and said, "At first, Master used these trivial matters to test me. However, I got used to it over time. Besides, if I cannot even persist in such small matters, how can I talk about cultivation?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this: "What Senior Brother says is extremely true."

There is no concept of time in cultivation; three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan had become accustomed to life cultivating in the mountains. Although he had been away from home for a long time, he was not worried that his family would be anxious. He had traveled for a year or a half before when he went out in the past; at worst, he would go down the mountain once after he successfully became an apprentice.

Today was the day the Mister preached the Dao. Listening to Master preach these days, he felt that his whole person had become different, but he could not say exactly where he was different.

One double-hour later, Chu Feng finished preaching. He cast his gaze onto Ji Jiuwu: "Jiuwu, do you have anything you do not understand?"

Ji Jiuwu scratched his head: "Master, this disciple feels like I understood everything, but also understood absolutely nothing."

Chu Feng showed a smile on his face upon hearing this: "You kid are playing riddles with This Seat."

"This disciple dares not. I just feel I need to go down and ponder it."

Ji Jiuwu said with an awkward expression. Although it had not been long since he became Master's disciple, the more he interacted with Master, the more he felt Master possessed vast magical powers.

Chu Feng said, "Alright, you go back and ponder first. Come ask This Seat when you find something you really do not understand."

"Yes."

Ji Jiuwu responded and retreated to the side.

Chu Feng continued to ask, "Ah Yan, what about you?"

"Replying to Mister, this disciple is dull and only absorbed a small part. However, this disciple came today wanting Mister to test me on the Shennong Scripture."

Jiang Yan said respectfully.

"Oh."

Chu Feng immediately became interested upon hearing this and said, "You kid finished studying that Shennong Scripture so quickly?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "Yes."

"Fine, then This Seat will test you."

Chu Feng began to test Jiang Yan. The two asked and answered, and another double-hour passed quickly.

Ji Jiuwu and the White Deer on the side looked completely confused listening to their questions and answers.

"Good, good, good."

Chu Feng said the word 'good' three times in a row, revealing a look of appreciation on his face. "Ah Yan, you indeed did not disappoint This Seat. As the saying goes: choosing a day is not as good as hitting upon a day. Jiuwu, go prepare tea. This Seat will accept Jiang Yan as a disciple today."

"Yes."

Ji Jiuwu also showed a look of joy on his face upon hearing this. He had waited for this day for a long time.

The White Deer at the side looked at Ji Jiuwu with envious eyes, thinking: When can I become a disciple of this immortal?

A moment later, the preparations for the apprenticeship ceremony were completed.

Chu Feng sat on the stone chair waiting for Jiang Yan to offer tea and complete the apprenticeship ceremony.

The process went smoothly. After Jiang Yan finished the apprenticeship, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Ah Yan, do you still remember why you came to my Wendao Sect?"
