Chapter 2296 - 2293: Master

Chapter 2296: Chapter 2293: Master

"Knowing a bit, he’s a leading figure in the Demon Exorcism World, possessing power closest to the divine. It’s just that we’re on different paths, and seldom interact," unexpectedly, Elder Yan gave a very high evaluation.

Possessing power closest to the divine, even the Ancient Hidden Stream dare not claim such, showing that the power of Taoist arts is a mysterious presence within the Ancient Hidden Stream.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. After the Shennong Ding acknowledged you as its master, how do you feel?" Elder Yan gently waved his hand and returned to the main topic.

Lin Tian reached out and grasped the cauldron lid, slightly closed his eyes, carefully sensing, suddenly, a stream of information appeared in his mind and unfolded rapidly, reflected like a movie.

The volume of information was so vast, flowing so swiftly that Lin Tian even felt slightly dizzy, instantly unable to adapt. He tried his best to condense his Spiritual Sense and fully identify this information.

The information gradually became clear, and frames of scenes appeared in his mind—in the ancient wilderness, a middle-aged man wore a straw raincoat, leaned on a wood staff, walking among mountains and rivers.

Wherever he went, the middle-aged man would pick flowers, grasses, tree bark, seeds, and fruits, catch birds and beasts, shrimps, fish, and turtles, collect various minerals and stones, tasting their sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, salty to discern the five flavors, medication properties, treating diseases.

Using these herbs to complement each other, treating illnesses, even concocting elixirs with these herbs, strengthening the physiques of early humans to fight beasts and withstand natural disasters.

Lin Tian understood that this was the life of Emperor Shennong. Lin Tian watched it once, as if he personally experienced all the processes of tasting hundreds of herbs, treating illnesses, saving lives, and making elixirs.

If previously he lacked experience, now he had experienced a lifetime with the Shennong Ding.

No, it wasn’t a lifetime; the information abruptly stopped at the end, no information on what happened finally to Emperor Shennong.

Lin Tian opened his eyes and then got startled—several beauties were leaning over, staring at him non-stop.

"What are you doing..." Lin Tian asked curiously.

"We thought you were strange. You’ve been standing still for two hours. We thought you had fallen asleep," Xiao Manxuan said, totally confused.

"Two hours?" Lin Tian was surprised. Just now, immersed in the flow of information, it felt like he had experienced a century, yet two hours had passed in reality.

Lin Tian didn’t know whether to describe it as fast or slow, but he could ascertain that the volume of information was terrifyingly large. At his current reading speed, it still took two hours, indicating how abundant and complex the information was.

He reads by utilizing a super view, glancing over, finishing a book, and memorizing it. With such reading speed, two hours could consume over ten thousand books.

"It seems that the heritage of the Shennong Ding is even more complicated than I imagined," Elder Yan had realized something, smiled slightly.

Lin Tian nodded and didn’t hide it: "Indeed complicated, I witnessed much of Emperor Shennong’s life—roaming the world, tasting hundreds of herbs, treating diseases, saving lives, concocting elixirs."

"Compared to the Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture, how is it?" Elder Yan asked again.

"The inheritance contains the Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture, yet goes beyond it, more detailed, just like experiencing it myself," Lin Tian recalled the contents of the inheritance and said.

Elder Yan smiled, nodded: "Very good, very good, would you like to open it and have a look?"

Lin Tian exerted strength to lift the cauldron lid, and with a low sound, as if something turned, the previously unmoving lid was lifted by Lin Tian.

A faint medicinal fragrance spread out; upon smelling, several people immediately felt refreshed, many things unclear in martial arts now seemed obvious.

The women leaned over, looked into the cauldron, only to see it enveloped in mist, like a space of its own, with no sight of the bottom.

"Strange, it feels like jumping in would enter another world," Xiao Manxuan said with surprise.

"It’s said the Shennong Ding contains mysterious power, so your guess may not be impossible," Yan Lingling joked.

Lin Tian didn’t speculate but reached directly inside; his hand passed through the mist, touched the bottom, a strange sensation without the coldness of metal, instead somewhat warm, like warm water flowing past the fingertips, extremely comfortable.

Activating super view, penetrating the mist, glanced at the inner wall, found it still dark green, no differences from the outer wall, but the touch sensation entirely differed, Lin Tian thought about it, couldn’t understand.

"Master, inside the Shennong Ding flows a layer of peculiar energy, perhaps this is the legendary spiritual energy of medicinal materials," guessed the Sword Spirit.

"Regardless of what it is, I must get familiar with the Shennong Ding quickly, before I can make medicine for Xuanxuan," Lin Tian thought in his mind.

Elder Yan looked at Lin Tian, hesitated slightly, seemed to have difficulty speaking, yet finally said: "Lin Tian, do you remember the talk we had that day? As the master of Shennong Ding, you can be the master of the Medicine King Mansion."

The old man, though hesitant, had already spoken, not beating around the bush, very straightforward.

"This..." Lin Tian hesitated somewhat, did not answer immediately, he had thought about this issue, but the result was, he didn’t want to be the master of Medicine King Mansion.

It wasn’t that he looked down on the Medicine King Mansion, but he didn’t want too many restrictions, from Night Rose Bar to Tianxuan Special Guard Company, and then Tianxue Jewelry, he had always been hands-off manager.

Even after becoming Charlotte’s master, Lin Tian was too lazy to accept her power and wealth, not to mention the forces she nurtured, specifically her wealth, already incredibly terrifying.

The Dark Moon Team, all powerful female Blood Clan, each with great figures, pretty, Lin Tian could make them do anything, but he didn’t.

Bale Bank and Charlotte’s company group, a world-class financial force exceeding the Li Family’s financial strength, Lin Tian did not intervene either.

So, when Elder Yan asked him to accept the position of master of the Medicine King Mansion, he didn’t feel much turmoil, even rejected it. This position was the dream of many people, coveted even by the Divine Clan, but Lin Tian just didn’t care for it.

"Are you worried that by becoming the master of Medicine King Mansion, you’d become a puppet of our Elder Council?" Elder Yan became even more direct.

Elder Yan smiled, shook his head: "There’s no need to worry; most people in Medicine King Mansion are absorbed in medicine refining. The position of Great Elder rotated among four people within five years—no one wants it, all saying it hinders the research in medicine refining. Would such pharmacists control you?"

"Besides, considering your current strength, even if control were attempted, it wouldn’t be easy," Elder Yan added.

Elder Yan explained in a whole string simply to dispel Lin Tian’s concerns. Miss and Xiao Manxuan felt embarrassed; even the Medicine King Mansion needed to beg someone to take charge, if the Ancient Martial Family knew, they’d be shocked.

Lin Tian blinked and said something causing Miss to feel extremely resigned: "Uh, actually, I’m accustomed to being a hands-off manager, don’t want too many constraints."

Miss always harbored resentment over Lin Tian delegating responsibilities, but she could only reluctantly give him a blank look. She knew Lin Tian wasn’t shirking duties, just operating in his way.
