Whisper of the Eternal Dao

Soon, Lin Yi and his team finished packing, left the wooden house, and reorganized their team.

Shortly thereafter, a familiar figure appeared. It was Manager Yu.

Manager Yu came to the front of the team and said, “You all come with me.”

Lin Yi didn't know what to do, and he didn't need to think about it, because the sect would arrange it.

Come to a small box.

Manager Yu said: ”Congratulations once again for joining the Jiuqing Sect. You will all live together for some time from now on.”

“The most important thing when it comes to the Jiuqing Sect is to practice martial arts. Other things are not that important. Unless you can enter the Pinnacle of Medicine, don't waste too much time on unnecessary things. Only when you are strong can you gain a firm foothold and the Jiuqing Sect can stand forever in the Qingyan Mountains.”

“Did you hear that clearly?”

“Yes.” The disciples answered loudly.

Manager Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, ”All right, wait here for now, and we will all register later.”

Not long after, a boy who looked to be about a dozen years old came over. This must be the disciple who was going to register.

The disciple walked straight up to Manager Yu and whispered something in his ear.

After listening to this, Manager Yu looked at all the students.

“Who is Lin Yi?”

“Manager Yu, this student is me.” Lin Yi did not expect that he would be called out alone. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately spoke to show that he was the one.

Manager Yu smiled and said, ”Lin Yi, come with Young Master Liu.”

The teenage boy also looked at Lin Yi.

“Yes, Manager Yu!”

Lin Yi followed the young man and left. The other students were confused and very curious. They watched Lin Yi leave and wanted to talk about something, but since Manager Yu was here, they didn't dare to say anything and just stood there quietly.

None of them spoke along the way. Lin Yi followed behind them quietly. Although there were many questions in his mind, he did not dare to speak.

When they reached the mountain junction, the young man said, “Brother Lin, my name is Liu Ren, from now on just call me Senior Brother Liu.”

Lin Yi nodded, a little stiff, and called out in a low voice, “Senior Brother Liu!”

Liu Ren smiled and nodded, and as he walked, he pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, ”This is Yao Peak.”

Lin Yi stared at the mountain in front of him, observing it curiously. He didn't expect it to be Yao Peak. Not long ago, he heard Manager Yu mention it. Liu Ren continued, “A long time ago, this sect focused on medicinal purification. As time went by, medicinal purification was slowly forgotten, and most people went to practice martial arts. There were only two people at Yao Peak, me and Old Fei.” At this point, Lin

Yi saw regret and pity in Senior Brother Liu Ren's eyes, as if in his heart, medicine refining should not be abandoned, but he could not change the status quo.

Shortly thereafter, they arrived at the summit of Mount Yaofeng. There was a vast plain at the top of the mountain. Lin Yi looked around, also looking for Master Fei mentioned by Senior Brother Liu Ren, but he did not see him.

Liu Ren continued to speak and Lin Yi just listened in silence, but several questions always lingered in his mind.

Finally, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, “Senior Brother Liu, I haven't signed up yet.”

Lin Yi stared at Senior Brother Liu Ren without blinking, afraid that if he didn't sign up, he would still be a disciple of Jiuqingmen?

Where to stay? It didn't matter to Lin Yi, as long as he was a disciple of the Jiuqing Sect.

Liu Ren said with a smile: “Brother Lin, don't worry. I will take you to the bamboo house first, which will be your resting place in the future. After you see it, I will take you to register and take care of other things.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!”

“We will be brothers in the future. Sister Lin and I, please don't be so polite.”

Lin Yi also realized that even though he hadn't been in touch with Senior Brother Liu Ren for a long time, he could feel that Senior Brother Liu Ren was a very kind person.

Lin Yi nodded and asked, “Senior Brother Liu, why did you choose me to come to Yaofeng alone?” Lin Yi was very puzzled about this.

Liu Ren said: “Brother, I don't know the details, but it seems to have something to do with Mr. Liu from Qingyaotang. Mr. Liu recommended him to Mr. Fei,

and Mr. Fei told me.” Lin Yi remembered the old man from Qingyaotang. So that was how it was. At this time, he had arrived in front of the bamboo house. When he went inside, there was only a bed, a desk, and a chair. It was relatively simple, but for Lin Yi, after taking a look, he was very satisfied.

Furthermore, under the guidance of Senior Brother Liu Ren, Lin Yi completed the registration and received various daily necessities, including a bed.

This round took almost all day.

It turned out that when eating at Yaofeng, one did not need to go out alone. There would be special people who would leave food at the intersection at the foot of Yaofeng at a designated time, and one could go there and pick it up. Lin Yi didn't know when Senior Brother Liu Ren had arranged the food part, and the food at Yaofeng was even better than before.

After dinner, Senior Brother Liu Ren asked Lin Yi to rest. Lin Yi sat silently at the dining table in a daze and fell asleep without realizing it.

Suddenly, he heard Senior Brother Liu Ren's voice outside the house. Lin Yi opened the door of the bamboo house and called out, “Senior Brother Liu.”

Liu Ren held a booklet in his hand and handed it to Lin Yi, saying, “Brother Lin, this booklet contains knowledge about medicinal plants. You will need it in the future.”

Lin Yi took it, opened it slightly, and looked at it. It contained only pictures or text, mainly text. For Lin Yi, this booklet was no different from a heavenly book.

Lin Yi said hesitantly, “Senior Brother Liu, I can't read yet.”

Liu Ren smiled and said, ”Don't worry, Junior Brother Lin, I will teach you to recognize medicinal plants and read at the same time.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was very grateful. He was very lucky. He was lucky all the way. Thanks to the fat man, he got the chance to go to the city and join the Jiuqing Sect. He was also able to enter the Pinnacle of Medicine because he met Old Liu from the Qingyao Hall in the city earlier. Otherwise, it would be difficult to meet a kind senior brother like Liu Ren. Lin Yi felt that everything was so unreal, like a dream, and he was afraid his dream would be destroyed.

Senior Brother Liu Ren said, “Next, we will manage the medicinal plants in Yaofeng. At the very least, we need to know the names of medicinal plants, their growth cycles, the functions of medicinal plants, and a lot of knowledge about medicinal plants, so as not to damage them.”

Lin Yi was completely confused and didn't know where to start.

Liu Ren looked at Lin Yi's expression, “Brother Lin, you've just started, don't worry, you can learn slowly, it's impossible to learn it at the beginning, it's a long process.”

“Brother, it took me a long time to accumulate some knowledge. After I achieve success, I will ask Mr. Fei to leave this world and continue pursuing the path of pharmacology. Now I will start teaching you to read.”

Lin Yi began to learn to read for the first time in his life. Literacy is the most basic human need. Many things in future life will be related to words.

Knowing how to read will be beneficial to you for life. Lin Yi listened carefully as Liu Ren explained in detail. Lin Yi silently remembered what he learned in his heart. At the same time, he asked for help whenever he had questions.

Lin Yi was completely immersed in it. If he hadn't left the village, he might never have learned to read a single word, nor would he have ever known the pleasure of reading. Half an hour passed unnoticed.

“Lin's sister, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow.”

Lin Yi was still a little dissatisfied and nodded.

“Let's take a look at the medicinal plants first.”

Lin Yi followed Liu Ren out of the bamboo house. Liu Ren gave a brief introduction. There are thousands of medicinal plants here, some valuable, some relatively old, and some ordinary. All of them are planted and managed in separate blocks.

From Liu Ren's introduction, we know that he has been through the process of identifying medicines. A year ago, Mr. Fei also agreed that he could use common herbal plants to make medicines. When discussing this, Liu Ren was also very excited.

Not long after, Lin Yi returned to his residence and made a simple plan for the next period of time. First, he set aside one-third of his time each day for literacy and reinforcement, and used the rest of his time to memorize medicinal plants in Yaofeng. In this way, literacy and identification of medicinal plants could be done at the same time without delay.

Lin Yi set a goal of memorizing ten herbal plants and spending at least ten days reinforcing them. It doesn't matter if he spends more time, as long as he is 100% accurate and remembers the name of the herbal plant, its function, its age, and other indicators.

The next day, after Senior Sister Liu finished teaching him to read, Lin Yi followed Liu Ren to the medicine field. Lin Yi began to point to medicinal plants and ask Liu Senior Sister related questions.

After asking ten questions, Lin Yi looked back and realized that he only remembered a rough idea. Soon he became even more confused. At this point, Lin Yi wished he could read, write, and take notes so he could refer to them at any time.

It seems that the target must be lowered a little. If you remember one herb at the beginning, something like that shouldn't happen.

In the days that followed, Lin Yi led a very simple but fulfilling life. Three months had passed since he came to the sect. Time flew by so fast. During this period, Master Fei had not returned, but Lin Yi knew what Master Fei looked like and had seen his portrait. For three months, Senior Sister Liu Ren had taken good care of him.

By this time, Lin Yi was already able to recognize many words, and during this period he also went to the library to borrow some simple books to read.

As for the medicinal plants that I know, there are not many, but the ones I know, I remember strongly.

Time flies, and before I knew it, three months had passed.

After persistent efforts, Lin Yi was finally able to browse through some simple books, but Lin Yi hadn't touched the book in the past six months.

Lin Yi now has a new plan, and the original goal of identifying herbal plants has been changed to five plants.

In the past six months, Lin Yi has only memorized a few medicinal herbs. In the early stages, he needs to lay a solid foundation, apply what he has learned to other fields, and add better memorization methods. In the future, the speed of memorization will increase.

One day, after Brother Liu Ren finished teaching Lin Yi how to read, he said, “Congratulations, brother. Reading and writing are no longer an obstacle for you.”

Now Lin Yi can read and write completely and fluently. He was very grateful to Brother Liu and secretly remembered Brother Liu's kindness to him.

Now, a year has passed since Lin Yi came to Jiuqing Gate and Yaofeng, and he has gained a lot this year.

He is one year older, but still very young, only six years old. He learned to read and write, and mastered many medicinal plants, but Master Fei still has not returned. He hopes to have the opportunity to repay this kindness. Without the careful teachings of Senior Brother Liu Ren, he would not have been able to make such rapid progress.

In the days that followed, Lin Yi dedicated himself to the process of identifying medicinal plants, and his speed of recalling medicinal plants increased. Despite the increase in speed, there was no sign of any slackening.

Senior Brother Liu Ren also often took samples to test Lin Yi, verifying each other's knowledge and correcting his mistakes, so that Lin Yi could master knowledge faster and remember the ingredients more strongly.

The time ring rolled forward.

One year!
