The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 157 — Second Master
In the end, Lian Huanran managed to put all the medicinal herbs in the large basket, and completed the third test from Shen Nong. Right after the hour ended, Shen Nong, Lian Haocun and Long Yuan returned to the storage room, to look at the results of Lian Huanran's test.
Lian Huanran's appearance was somewhat disheveled, but it did not cover up the aura and energy
jolly around him.
Shen Nong scanned the entire shelves in the storage room, then in a soft tone, said, “Good work, although there are eighty-one medicinal herbs that are on the wrong shelf, your meticulousness deserves praise. I thought, there would be at least a thousand medicinal plants that would go wrong shelf.”
Lian Huanran seemed surprised to hear Shen Nong's words, because he was very concentrated on grouping each medicinal plant and did not expect that some medicinal plants would be placed on the wrong shelf. But what surprised Lian Huanran even more was, how could Shen Nong know!?
Lian Huanran's surprised expression was clearly on her face, Shen Nong, too, immediately knew what she was thinking.
Shen Nong, “It's only natural that you made a mistake, however, there are some medicinal plants that have very similar shapes, so don't think too much about it.
Meanwhile, why I can find out, just simple, I know it from the aroma of the medicinal plant, even though the smell is faint, it is, the aroma of each medicinal plant is one of the characteristics that cannot be imitated by non-similar medicinal plants.”
‘How can he know it only from the scent of medicinal plants!?’ Inner Lian Huanran was shocked. After all, how could one distinguish a medicinal plant from just its aroma alone, let alone the average scent of a medicinal plant was extremely faint.
For Lian Huanran, that alone was impossible, but what made Lian Huanran even more surprised was, that, Shen Nong knew every medicinal plant that was wrongly placed by him among the fragrance mix of different kinds of medicinal plants!
Shen Nong chuckled softly, then said, “You will be able to do it later.”
With a trembling and astonished tone, Lian Huanran asked, “But, but..., didn't I fail to complete the second test?”
Shen Nong, “Ku only gave you a high enough number to force yourself and challenge your limits, but, the result was indeed beyond my expectations.”.
Although Shen Nong did not say it directly, Lian Huanran felt, he was praised by Shen Nong, who was now his second teacher. Instantly, a feeling of pleasure burst into his heart, but Lian Huanran remembered someone, and instantly the feeling disappeared instantly.
Lian Huanran smiled sadly, when he remembered Shen Wenhuan, the teacher and figure he considered his family. In the storage room, Lian Huanran expressed hope that he could meet and interact with his first teacher again.
Shen Nong took Lian Huanran, Lian Haocun and Long Yuan to the living room again, then went to pick up the tea he had prepared for his new student, Lian Huanran. Naturally, since time had passed for quite a while, the tea had already cooled down, so Shen Nong had to warm it back up with its fire element.
After finishing warming the tea, Shen Nong returned and gave the tea to Lian Huanran. Then Shen Nong, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan started talking back.
“First of all, I say congratulations on successfully completing my test well.” Shen Nong opened the conversation.
‘Dan, managed to become my first student... Although Yan still did not fully accept it, this would not be a problem. I'm sure, Lian Huanran can take Yan.’'s heart Shen Nong continued in his heart.
Lian Huanran nodded his head and said, “Thank you, um.., teacher!”
Shen Nong, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan spoke pleasantries, and subconsciously, the atmosphere started to become more relaxed. Feeling the pleasant atmosphere to speak, Shen Nong said, “Do you guys know, realm ‘Midgard’ Ancient Kingdom will be opened for the first time?”
