Chapter 384: Your Entire Life Has Been Ruined by Cakes!
“Did the thing that just flew up look like a finger?”
“Senior Sister Bai is so strong! She effortlessly did what we couldn’t even dream of—it’s truly inspiring and worship-worthy!”
“Is this really something a Transformation God Stage cultivator can do?”
“By the way, how did Senior Brother Bai manage to set up that new formation in the Medicine Garden? I can’t even crack the ones over the medicinal fields!”
“This is beyond my comprehension—seriously, Senior Brother Bai is the most terrifying one here!”
After the fight, amidst everyone’s hushed whispers, Bai Feng stretched out his hand, dispelling the formation.
“All right, that demon’s gone. We can now explore without worries.”
He casually said this to the crowd before turning around and vanishing into the white mist.
He needed to hurry and gather more herbs while the Medicine Garden was relatively unpopulated.
Meanwhile, other cultivators reacted accordingly, hurriedly calling over friends and rushing towards nearby medicinal fields.
……
“One cake, two cakes, three cakes…”
Tian Yan muttered to herself as she held a water jug, watering the herbs in the medicinal fields.
She had already leased all the herbs here—mainly because she was the only one with free time. Her cultivation style was different from everyone else’s, after all.
Plus, as the Holy Maiden of Tian Yan Holy Land, Bai Feng believed that if something went wrong with the herbs, she could get early warnings.
Even if she couldn’t, it didn’t matter—being a mascot was pretty good too.
Of course, she wasn’t just doing this for free; the reward for caring for the herbs was endless cakes and opportunities to cultivate with Bai Feng.
“You’re taking good care of them!”
Just then, Bai Feng approached and looked at the herbs in the field.
“After all, with that herb manual you gave me, the details are super clear. I wouldn’t be completely clueless when tending them,” Tian Yan said casually as she stepped beside him.
Earlier, Bai Feng had divided the herb section from his medical manuals and handed it to Tian Yan, Zuo Qiu, and others, mainly to help them identify herbs. Otherwise, it would just be him and Yun Yue Yao hunting for herbs, which was pretty inefficient.
Although the manual was from medical art, it explained the herbs in great detail, including growth environments and conditions. Even someone like Zuo Qiu, who knew nothing about herbs, could distinguish useful herbs based on what’s written.
“Huh, I guess having you help take care of the herbs is a good call,” Bai Feng nodded. After all, what’s written in books isn’t always the same as real practice—if he were doing it himself, he might not do as well.
Tian Yan looked up but didn’t say anything. Instead, she extended her little hand toward him.
“Okay, okay, here, have a piece of cake.” Bai Feng, a bit helpless, took out a piece of cake. “Eat it sparingly; I brought so many cakes that you’re about to finish them all, and I didn’t even bring ingredients to make more!”
Hearing that, Tian Yan paused for a moment. She took the cake but didn’t eat it immediately—instead, she reached out her hand again.
“Hand me the map.”
Bai Feng was somewhat puzzled but still handed over the map.
Tian Yan stared at the map, as if spirit energy was flowing through her body.
After a moment, she pointed to some patterns on the map and said, “There should be spiritual wheat here, and over there seems to be a place for raising spiritual beasts—probably bull demons and chicken demons—and then here…”
Bai Feng just watched her—didn’t he ask her before? How come she now seems to know everything?
It seemed she had sensed his gaze and quickly explained: “I honestly can’t tell for sure, so I marked several places. One of them has to be right.”
……
Your whole life has been ruined by cakes!
Bai Feng sighed helplessly. “If we pass by, we can check it out together.”
“Yay!”
Tian Yan displayed a face with no particular expression, but her slightly uplifted tone made it clear she was happy.
She took out her cake and happily started eating while glancing at Bai Feng.
“Have you rested enough now?”
“Yeah, I’ve had enough rest. We can set out again,” Bai Feng nodded.
After exploring the Medicine Garden, they didn’t rush out immediately. Instead, they took a break in the storage ring and used the herbs they picked to strengthen Yun Yue Yao’s body.
It was a long process, so the sooner, the better.
After taking the medicine, Yun Yue Yao felt she could move again—she was eager to compare herself with Bai Feng. But the result was obvious: her foundation was too weak. Even with some improvement, it was limited, which extended her rest time quite a lot. Now she was probably still lying in bed resting.
“Let’s go,” Yun Yue Yao ate her cakes in a couple of bites, then said eagerly. “I think the nearest place is over there.”
She pointed at a pattern with a circle flanked by two tiny rectangles.
“What place is this?”
Bai Feng looked at the pattern but couldn’t quite connect it to anything.
Tian Yan also shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s a cow.”
“Doesn’t really look like it. If it’s a cow, the shapes on the sides should be triangles…” Bai Feng thought for a few seconds before giving up. The pattern was too abstract. “Whatever, we’ll see once we get there.”
Conveniently, this also aligned with the direction of another immortal’s finger.
……
On the road, Yun Yue Yao, having rested, looked both ways and felt like someone was missing. She then reached out and tugged Bai Feng’s sleeve.
“Dear, where’s that little follower of yours?”
“Are you talking about Zuo Qiu?” Bai Feng raised his hand, looking at the ring on his finger. “I moved a Thunder Pool inside. She’s cultivating in there. Speaking of which, didn’t you want to refine your body a bit? Want to give it a try later?”
“Uh… maybe next time,” Yun Yue Yao hurriedly shook her head. She had also looked into the Thunder Pool when inside her ring—it was indeed a great place for tempering the body. But if she tried to compete with Bai Feng, she’d be fine. If she had to soak the whole body in, no thanks. Her delicate body couldn’t handle it, and she wanted to strengthen herself because she was somewhat weak, not to suffer as a body cultivator.
“By the way, why are you starting to care about Zuo Qiu?”
He remembered that Yun Yue Yao and Zuo Qiu barely talked.
“Because I feel like she’s looking at you weird,” Yun Yue Yao said.
“……”
Not just weird—she was practically a pervert.
Bai Feng couldn’t help but silently complain inside.
Meanwhile, Zuo Qiu, at the Thunder Pool, exhaled slowly. The constant lightning strikes on her felt excruciating, but she could still persevere.
After seeing Bai Yu Mo make her move, she realized her strength was way too weak. If she kept going like this, her master would leave her far behind. She could still fight a few weak demon path cultivators, but if she didn’t work harder, she might not even be able to fight the weakest demon cultivators in the future.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck her, and she clenched her teeth instantly. Her mind raced—if only her master could stand beside her, taking the lightning to help her cultivate.
Thinking of that scene made her body tremble, and her breathing grew irregular.
‘Stop! No more daydreaming—focus on training…’
She hurriedly suppressed her thoughts and continued tempering her divine body with the Thunder Pool.
