Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Enchanting Grass

"Yes, that’s right, I was the one who switched it!"

"You drugged the wine, trying to trigger the fire poison in me to kill me. Since I discovered it, of course I had to deal with you in kind. I was being polite by not letting that old sow bite you to death!"

Chu Feng admitted frankly. However, kneeling for him was nothing but a joke.

Liu Ping plotting schemes in front of him was simply a self-humiliation.

"So it was indeed your doing! Wait for this prince to ask one last question, and then I’ll send you on your way!" Liu Ping’s expression became even more ferocious, his eyes colder and more sinister.

"Do you have some kind of secret with Lin Yuxin?"

Liu Ping wasn’t stupid; at the academy gate, something unusual seemed to emanate from the expressions and conversations between the two.

"Yes, there’s a secret, and it doesn’t hurt to tell you!" Chu Feng beckoned Liu Ping with his fingers.

Driven by curiosity, Liu Ping carelessly moved closer to Chu Feng.

"You can talk now!" Liu Ping urged.

Bang!

Chu Feng suddenly struck with a groin kick, catching Liu Ping off guard as he hadn’t expected Chu Feng to turn the tables being surrounded. Moreover, Chu Feng’s martial arts were outstanding, his combat experience exceptionally rich.

The kick hit right on target.

"Ow~! I’m going to kill you..." Liu Ping cried out in pain, his hands clenching his groin uncontrollably, bending over with his head jutting forward.

Bang!

This was like serving himself up for Chu Feng to hit.

Chu Feng didn’t hesitate; an explosive punch landed squarely on Liu Ping’s nose bridge. Instantly, Liu Ping toppled to the ground, tears and blood from his nose flowing profusely.

Despite being two whole levels of cultivation above Chu Feng, Liu Ping was easily beaten down like a dead dog.

Likely from now on, whenever he saw Chu Feng, he would certainly cover his groin and protect his face.

"Attack, kill him for me!" Liu Ping screeched, sounding like a eunuch.

The dozen or so henchmen he had brought hadn’t even reacted when one was knocked down by Chu Feng who then made his escape.

"Chase!"

The dozen men following Liu Ping, wielding their medicine hoes, pursued doggedly.

Soon, Chu Feng stopped. He was somewhat taken aback as he looked at the cliff ahead.

Damn it, what lousy luck, there’s no way forward.

"Run, then, f*ck, keep running!" Two Sixth Rank Swordsmen, leading the forefront, had directly taken medicine hoes as weapons this time.

"Whoever kills this Chu bastard, this prince will reward him with an extra 500 silver taels!" Liu Ping’s fierce shout echoed.

He had almost gotten his bird blasted by Chu Feng’s kick and now walked like a cripple, limping along.

And every step he took was agonizingly painful.

His nose bridge was also swollen, the blood still flowing.

He looked utterly wretched.

With such a hefty reward, Liu Ping’s dozen or so helpers immediately went into a frenzy. They charged at Chu Feng with reckless abandon.

Even a master can succumb to a frenzied assault.

Moreover, Chu Feng’s cultivation was not even as high as these men. At this moment, even using the Abnormal Fire wouldn’t reverse the situation.

He clenched his teeth; rather than being dug to death by those medicine hoes, it was better to jump himself.

As long as his luck wasn’t at rock bottom, he should be able to save his life.

"Scum, mark my words, I will settle this score with you sooner or later!" After cursing, Chu Feng turned his back to the cliff and leaped backwards off of it.

Mid-air, unable to leverage or turn around.

This was precisely the cleverness of Chu Feng.

He turned his back to the outside, facing the cliff, which was more conducive to clinging onto the cliff face or performing other self-rescue measures.

The cliff was steep and smooth, with almost no handholds.

Chu Feng made a snap decision and pulled out the Medicine Hoe, gripping it with both hands and hooking it toward the cliff.

Crack crack...

Instantly, sparks flew as the Medicine Hoe scraped against the rock. However, this method of reducing speed was extremely effective; as long as he could control it well, he could greatly reduce the speed of his descent.

This self-rescue measure could only be executed by Chu Feng.

It was like riding a bicycle; without understanding balance, you’d fall as soon as you got on. If Chu Feng applied too little force while scraping with the Medicine Hoe, it wouldn’t slow him down.

If he applied too much force, he would be pushed away, quickly losing contact with the cliff and unable to reach it again.

There was a great amount of skill involved in this.

When Chu Feng was about three meters from the ground, he suddenly gripped the hoe tightly and dug fiercely into the cliff.

Bang!

The tip of the Medicine Hoe chiseled in more than an inch deep.

The rebounding force nearly made Chu Feng lose his grip on the handle. His falling body paused momentarily, but since the hoe had not dug deep enough, he could not stabilize his body. A small piece of rock broke away, and he continued to fall.

"Sigh, this body’s cultivation is really too weak! Even if I had dug two inches deep, I would have been safe and sound!"

Chu Feng sighed to himself as he landed on the ground with a loud "boom". He landed on his feet first and quickly crouched to avoid the immense falling force from shattering his kneecaps.

After landing, he performed a backward roll to dissipate the remaining force and then awkwardly climbed up from the ground.

Apart from a twist in his waist causing some pain, he didn’t suffer any serious injuries.

If it had been someone else, even a Ninth Rank Swordsman, falling from tens of meters up the cliff, they would probably have been smashed to death.

Chu Feng rubbed his waist and twisted around a bit. After feeling that it was not a big issue, he began to observe his surroundings.

The bottom of the cliff was very damp, fostering many plants that didn’t require much sunlight.

"Eh, what are those colorful grasses?" Chu Feng’s eyes were immediately drawn to some colorful grass in the distance.

He looked excited because he recognized these colorful grasses as Enchanting Grass.

Indeed, as soon as he approached, a peculiar fragrance reached his nose. The moment the scent entered his nostrils, his vision started to blur.

"Hit the jackpot, it really is Enchanting Grass, and there’s so much of it, awesome!" Chu Feng’s current strength was extremely low; he urgently needed to refine some life-saving Elixirs.

This Enchanting Grass could be used to refine Puppet Elixir.

Once refined, no matter who consumed it, they could be controlled. Its effects were somewhat similar to the Mythical Heart Control Gu.

It is said that a great misfortune survived is a fortune earned, and this saying was indeed true.

Chu Feng bit the tip of his tongue, and immediately, he returned to his senses. To pick Enchanting Grass, as long as you don’t smell its fragrance, there won’t be any problems.

Despite their bright colors, these grasses were not the least bit cute.

The uninitiated, after smelling their fragrance, would quickly come under its control. They would either commit suicide on the spot or be trapped until they died where they stood. After their death, these Enchanting Grass would absorb the nutrients from their bodies.

Because of their malevolent nature, they were also referred to as Corpse-eating Grass.

Chu Feng covered his nose tightly as he approached them. Besides these grasses, there were first-level skeletal remains.

Some belonged to humans, others to animals.

Chu Feng worked the Medicine Hoe with great effort before he managed to dig out one plant.

He then quickly ran to a distance and breathed in some fresh air.

Soon, he safely dug out one Enchanting Grass. However, carrying it out like this would not do.

Because this place was the Medicine Mountain of the academy, all the gathered medicinal herbs had to be handed over. Enchanting Grass was incredibly precious and rare, and would certainly be taken by the academy.

What to do?

Chu Feng had his own methods; he would use Abnormal Fire to Refine it on the spot, then store it in a Jade Box for later use.
