History’s Number 1 Founder

Once he entered the cave, Lin Feng searched thoroughly, but the results were depressingly disappointing.

After he rummaged the entire cave, Lin Feng only found a miserably small amount of Swelling Earth, even less than what he acquired from Chen Gang’s Anti-water Flag.

”What’s going on here?” Lin Feng grabbed Chen Gang’s soul and said with a stone cold face, ”I remembered you saying that, the Swelling Earth you obtained when training with the Anti-water Flag was just a small fraction of the total amount?”

Chen Gang helplessly said, ”I did only take a very small portion, but maybe others have foraged here and retrieved all the remaining Swelling Earth.”

Lin Feng frowned, but before he could interrogate further, he suddenly heard voices coming from the mouth of the cave.

”Who’s there?”

Lin Feng quietly kept Chen Gang’s soul and turned around. Two cultivators wearing green were standing at the entrance, looking at him with tense, alert faces.

The pair were only cultivators at the Qi Training stage, and couldn’t see through his powers. But they sensed Lin Feng’s far superior mastery, so although they were on guard, they had no intention of provoking him.

Lin Feng smiled, ”I heard there’s a strange soil here called the Swelling Earth, which can replenish itself and never run out, so I came just to check it out.

He turned his head and scanned his surroundings. ”Just that there seems to be none here.”

Before coming to Mount Changchun, Lin Feng did some background research and could recognise the clothes of the two Qi Training cultivators. This was the formal attire of the Hundred Herbs Sect cultivators.

The two cultivators looked at each other, then one of them looked at Lin Feng warily. ”You came here to obtain the Swelling Earth?”

Lin Feng wavered and said, ”Not exactly, I was merely curious and wanted to see it. I’m trained in water-type spells, and earth can counter water. I wouldn’t seek trouble for myself.”

As he said this, Lin Feng waved his hand and smashed the stalactites around him with his water arrows.

Lin Feng’s Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams can conjure almost anything, so creating a few water arrows was just a small feat.

Seeing this, the two cultivators lowered their hostility, one of them even smiled, ”You have come at a bad time. The Swelling Earth in this cave has all been collected by our Grandmaster of the Hundred Herbs Sect.”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

The Grandmaster in question was naturally the formidable one in the Nascent Soul stage residing in the Hundred Herbs Sect - the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster.

That being said, the Hundred Herbs Sect was famous for crafting herbs and elixirs, its sect’s spells and skills are not ideal for attacking enemies.

Most cultivators in the Hundred Herbs Sect used crafted spiritual elixirs against their opponents, drawing on the essence of elixirs to summon various spells. Their healing and recovery abilities were very strong, and they could also produce poisons to attack their enemies.

But on a whole, their attacking capabilities paled in comparison with other cultivators of the same levels.

But even so, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was still a true Nascent Soul cultivator, and according to legend, had already formed his soul a few thousand years ago.

Given Lin Feng’s current mastery level in the Aurous Core initial stages, if he harnessed the powers of both the surrounding Purple Clouds and the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he was confident in facing a Nascent Soul cultivator in battle.

But he would obviously be seeking trouble if he was charging into another’s fortress to pit against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, aside from the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, the Sect would have a certain number of Aurous Core elders. Lin Feng normally wouldn’t mind them, but if he were to stumble during his duel with the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, they could pick off his weakened state.

Lin Feng decided against the idea, but without revealing it through his expressions, he shook his head and smiled, ”What a shame then, I wanted to learn more about this mysterious self-replenishing soil.”

The two Hundred Herbs Sect cultivators chuckled, ”Purely seeing it may not even be beneficial. As you said, this soil would be the complete counter for water-type attacks.
