#1119 - Chapter 1119: Herbalist Online
As Ye Kong was pondering this, the system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind again.
"Ding~ Host has joined the Primordial Academy and received a Fragment +1."
A golden thumb ring appeared in the sky, and Ye Kong reached out and caught it.
"What is this?" Ye Kong curiously examined the ring in his hand, its patterns intricate. Upon closer inspection, he could even discern mysterious characters on the inner ring.
"Ding~ Cannot disclose."
Ye Kong was speechless, feeling like the system had said something and yet nothing at all.
Ye Kong examined it for a long time but couldn't discern anything special about the ring.
"Forget it. The things this system provides are always useful. I should keep it safe."
Ye Kong directly put the golden thumb ring on his right hand. Surprisingly, it fit quite well.
Just then, Ye Kong sensed different fluctuations of aura outside, and he immediately flew out.
Having quietly meditated in the cave for so long, Ye Kong realized that a month had passed, and night had fallen.
Elder Wang wasn't hiding at all and appeared directly.
Looking at the figure that appeared in the void, Ye Kong recognized Wang Zonghan at a glance.
Ye Kong lightly raised his eyebrows, still respectfully cupping his fist and asking, "I wonder why Elder Wang is looking for this disciple so late at night?"
After Elder Wang left, the corners of Ye Kong's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This was really making trouble for himself.
Ye Kong also turned around and went back into the cave. A familiar figure appeared in the darkness again.
Elder Wang narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Ye Kong's small cave.
"Hmph, that kid, I don't know what he's tinkering with in there every day. He doesn't come out even once a month. If I hadn't come to his door, the flowers would have withered."
Elder Wang muttered, his timid figure resembling a peeping tom.
As if thinking of something, Elder Wang simply waved his hands, turned around with his back to the cave, and tilted his head to one side proudly.
"Why should I care about what he's doing? If he weren't on my territory, who would care whether he lives or dies."
Ye Kong's figure suddenly appeared behind Elder Wang. Perhaps the night was too dark, Elder Wang didn't even notice someone standing behind him.
"I also don't know..." Elder Wang wondered what could be in Ye Kong's cave, and as he was thinking, a clear voice came from behind him.
"How about just going in and taking a look?"
Elder Wang didn't react for a moment. Hearing this suggestion, he immediately turned around and nodded in response, "Good idea!"
As soon as he turned around, Ye Kong's handsome face appeared in front of Elder Wang. Elder Wang shuddered, subconsciously taking a step back.
Realizing that his behavior was a bit off, Elder Wang coughed lightly twice, pretending to be passing by nonchalantly.
"When I went back just now, I noticed that the moon looks pretty good tonight," Elder Wang pointed to the night sky, but tonight there were no clouds and no moon, only a few stars twinkling faintly.
Ye Kong saw through him but didn't expose him, "Since Elder Wang isn't in a hurry to leave, why not take a look at this disciple's small cave?" Ye Kong asked casually, not caring about Elder Wang's answer.
Elder Wang still had a serious expression. Hearing Ye Kong say this, he frowned on the surface, pretending to be unwilling, but he was a little happy in his heart.
Before Elder Wang could answer, Ye Kong said, "It's indeed a bit late. If Elder Wang doesn't want to go, this disciple won't force you."
?
Elder Wang's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "This old man will reluctantly take a look." After saying that, Elder Wang directly flashed and flew into Ye Kong's small cave.
The cave was very simple. Ye Kong only added a table and a wardrobe. Even the bed was a stone bed.
Elder Wang couldn't help but tut-tut in his heart. This place had nothing, and anyone who didn't know better would think it was the dwelling of a savage.
But what Elder Wang said was: "Well, it's good. Cultivation is about having fewer things that disturb the mind."
What an insincere old fellow.
Ye Kong didn't respond to Elder Wang's words, just nodded, as if he was affirming but not completely affirming.
Elder Wang then asked casually, "I see that you haven't been wandering around in the back mountain for a whole month. Have you been cultivating diligently again?"
Without this old man's guidance, let's see what you can comprehend on your own.
Ye Kong answered this time.
"Elder Wang, this disciple borrowed some miscellaneous books from the Art Repository in the main courtyard and has been reading them day and night to comprehend them."
When Ye Kong returned from the main courtyard that day, he happened to pass by the Art Repository and casually took a few miscellaneous books. After bringing them back, he hadn't even turned a page before he calmed his mind and meditated for a few days. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Hearing this, Elder Wang nodded in relief.
Not bad, he still knows to study diligently.
Elder Wang didn't stay long and left Ye Kong's small cave after a while.
After Elder Wang left, Ye Kong continued to sit cross-legged back on the stone bed, closed his eyes, and used his divine sense to ask the system in his mind.
"System, tomorrow I need to help Elder Wang take care of the newly developed production area. I need to know the maintenance techniques for the medicine field."
After speaking, images of herbal medicine introductions and various maintenance knowledge immediately appeared in Ye Kong's mind.
Ye Kong only went through it in his mind once, and the whole night passed.
The next day, Ye Kong got up early and came to the medicine field early in the morning.
Compared to the colorful medicine field, the ordinary field next to it seemed nothing special.
There's no gap without comparison.
Ye Kong came to the medicine field early, but he didn't see Elder Wang's shadow after looking around.
Just then, he turned his head and saw Elder Wang standing not far away. He saw his figure flash and come to a distance of two feet from Ye Kong.
Elder Wang frowned, without the slightest hint of happiness.
"What are you doing here so early? You're disturbing this old man's medicine field's rest!" Elder Wang directly scolded Ye Kong for no reason.
Although Ye Kong only felt speechless, he still endured it.
Then, Elder Wang carefully explained to Ye Kong the key points of maintaining this new medicine field. Elder Wang spoke, and Ye Kong listened carefully.
After almost everything was explained, Elder Wang turned to Ye Kong and said, "This old man doesn't have high demands. There's no time requirement, but when you little brat have maintained this new medicine field as well as this old man's medicine field, this old man might consider teaching you something."
