Chapter 2554: Ice Flame Continent 11
Having irrigated the Holy Spirit Water in the designated herb area, he returned.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit Water, these herbs would flourish within three days, ready for harvest on the second day. Not only would they be superior to other herbs, but their effects would also be enhanced.
Gu Chaoyan found immense satisfaction in today’s accomplishments, feeling a sense of relaxation.
However, others couldn’t share in this tranquility, particularly Kang Yan.
Upon returning, Kang Yan briefed his father, the current First Elder of the Anicca Clan, about Kang Shi’s recent developments.
“What? Kang Shi’s cultivation has advanced? This progress is linked to the annulment of the engagement? There’s actual improvement?” The First Elder queried incredulously.
For four years, Kang Shi had shown no signs of progress, leading most to assume he would remain stagnant. It was widely believed that he might end up working outside the clan in a few years.
Unexpectedly…
He had made strides.
“What’s his cultivation level now?”
“Kang Yan was defeated outright. He’s at least a top-notch Martial Saint,” Kang Yan reported.
In truth, Kang Yan suspected Kang Shi had reached Martial Saint and Heavenly levels. However, to ensure his father took the matter seriously, he embellished slightly, emphasizing the top-notch Martial Saint status to capture his attention.
Top-notch Martial Saint?
At the Level Six Martial King Realm, it seemed as if Kang Shi had undergone a sudden and remarkable advancement in a single day.
If this progression persisted, there might not be a place for them within the Anicca Race.
“Yan’er, have Ziluo return to the True Martial Race and expedite the marriage preparations. Additionally, accelerate everything within the clan,” the First Elder advised, “It’s better to forestall trouble than deal with it later. That kid displayed exceptional talent in his youth. Who’s to say if that talent has resurfaced.”
Kang Yan wore an unhappy expression, clearly harboring resentment.
Why?
Why was Kang Shi consistently fortunate from a young age? Despite Kang Yan’s prolonged and arduous efforts, he found himself overshadowed once again by Kang Shi.
“Don’t dwell on such thoughts. Ziluo is already yours, and the True Martial Race will support you in the future. Even if Kang Shi’s talent has returned, he’s aged and has remained dormant for many years. How formidable could he be now? He’s merely reclaiming what was once his,” the First Elder reassured, well aware of his son’s concerns.
Only then did Kang Yan’s mood slightly improve.
He descended to make the necessary preparations.
The next day…
Before dawn, Gu Chaoyan was already in the field, eager to witness the results and prevent any potential interference.
Upon reaching the medicinal field, she observed the herbs brimming with vitality, having grown ten centimeters taller overnight.
Elated, Gu Chaoyan awaited the arrival of the overseer. When he appeared, she pointed at the thriving herbs. “Are you satisfied with my compensation?”
The overseer rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “What? Is this real?”
Upon closer inspection, he confirmed the truth.
This herb, considered relatively precious, was notoriously challenging to cultivate. Even if it managed to grow, it usually did so poorly, halving its efficacy.
Among the 15 overseers of the medicinal field, each had received a seed of this herb, but none harbored much hope given its difficulty to cultivate. It was in their best interest to avoid any mishaps.
