Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

'This herb can't be cultivated manually. It is a cultivators' luck if he can see such a rare herb in his lifetime. I wonder how the Xuantian sect get its posession and why they are showing it so openly in their log book?', Zhan Chen thought to himself. His thought was legit because log book of Spirit herbs was not a secret posession of the Xuantian sect. Any cultivator with some reputation could see it and even the information of the log book could reach other powerful sects easily.

"Senior, is Starry primrose really available in our sect?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang.

"Of course, it is the major attraction of our starry valley. The starry primrose plants are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes from them. But it is a pity that the starry primrose flowers contain berserk energy. No alchemist in the central land can use them for a pill. There is only one way and that is the crudest method of extracting the essence of the starry primrose flower.

The tribulation realm experts' extract the medicinal essence out of it and use them after diluting with spirit water. I have tasted them once. Even after consuming the medicinal essence, the benefits are minimal", Nu Quang replied.

"What? You lot use it for extracting medicinal essence?", Zhan Chen lost his cool for the first time since arriving in the Xuantian sect. He looked angrily towards Nu Quang after hearing his words.

"Senior brother!", Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with a concerned look on her face. She had never thought that Zhan Chen would yell at a inner court elder like this. Ling Hui and Xue Yi also felt concerned and looked towards Zhan Chen with worried expression on their faces.

Nu Quang felt baffled for a moment. Then, a look of anger flashed past in his eyes. "Zhan Chen, careful with your manners", he looked sternly towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen found it hard to control himself. He took a long moment before he could calm down completely. "Senior, I am sorry. I lost control of myself", Zhan Chen bowed towards Nu Quang.

"What happened?", Nu Quang asked as his anger subsided after Zhan Chen's apology. He wanted to know the reason for the sudden outburst of Zhan Chen.

"Senior, let me be frank with you. The combined value of other spirit herbs can't be compared with a single Starry primrose flower. Depending on its age, it can also be used by emperors for their comprehension of the heavenly law", Zhan Chen spoke.

"As for my earlier outburst, you can understand it after hearing my explanation. Afterall, no true alchemist would tolerate if you squander such a rare herb", he further added.

"Senior, I am sorry but you have to listen to me from now on. This matter is so important that I need to put some restriction in your soul", Zhan Chen spoke the last two lines inside his mind. His words directly reached Nu Quang's brain and he looked towards Zhan Chen as if he was seeing a ghost.

He wanted to say something but his eyes became blank all of a sudden. The next moment, everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi couldn't notice anything as Zhan Chen and Nu Quang started to talk amiably once again. All the three gorls exhaled in releif and focused their attention on the Blue log book.

Zhan Chen looked through the remaining spirit herbs and his lips curved upward slightly. A smile appeared on his face as he thought about all the spirit herbs that the Xuantian sect had posessed. 'It is really an eye opener. I have never thought that the Xuantian sect would posess such a treasure trove of the spirit herbs. Even, my imperial family in the past life didn't posess so much spirit herbs that the Xuantian sect currently posess', he thought to himself.

"There are not many missions that are to my liking in this book but I will definitely take the missions related to alchemy. Inner court elders are really generous to offer such huge amount of contribution points for such trifling pills", Zhan Chen spoke after taking a look at the Blue log book.

"You want to take the pill missions?", Nu Quang looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised look on his face. He had already found out what a monster Zhan Chen actually was. But he was still skepital about Zhan Chen's alchemy capability.

"Senior, you do not need to worry. I will definitely succeed in concocting these pills. As for your part, I want you to assist me with the acquisition of the spirit herbs", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Do you know what you are saying? All these spirit herbs will amount to an astronomical sum of contribution points. I barely have four thousand contribution points in my token. So, I can't help you with the spirit herbs even if I wish", Nu Quang spoke. There was a helpless look on his face as he faced the unreasonable side of Zhan Chen.

"Who say that you have to pay for me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang as if he was seeing an idiot.

"I will first concoct the pill for this elder Mu from the Earth fire peak. He is offering quite a huge amount of contribution points. As for the required spirit herbs, it will barely cost me one thousand three hundred contribution points. So, I will start with this one", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Additionally, I want you to get seven sets of grade five Spirit bamboo shoots, blue lotuses, body cleansing ginsengs, sap of the Heartwood tree and five leaf clovers. The contribution points needed will barely touch four thousand contribution points. You can take the token of ancestor Wu Li and do the transaction for me", Zhan Chen spoke. He brought out the golden token that was given to him by Zhan Wu Li.

Nu Quang felt surprised for a moment but he didn't say anything. He was already aware about Zhan Chen's relationship with Zhan Wu Li. Moreover, the treasure hall and the mission hall had already received instruction from Fu Deming . So, he received the token without complaint and deduced four thousand contribution points.

"It will take another two to three hours for gathering all these spirit herbs. I will send someone to deliver the spirit herbs once they are ready", Nu Quang spoke.

"Additionally, I need some high grade magical beast meat. Contribution point is not an issue but the magical beast most be of fifth tier or sixth tier. I want you to issue this mission under your name", Zhan Chen spoke. Nu Quang had no choice but to nod his head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi bowed towards Nu Quang before leaving the first floor. There was a look of admiration on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.

They had heard a lot about the prestige of the core disciples but none of their prestige could be compared with Zhan Chen. Even an inner court elder had to give way after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.

"Senior brother, you are amazing", Yin Ran spoke after leaving the mission hall. There was a smitten look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Ling Hui and Xue Yi were equally impressed with Zhan Chen after seeing his interaction with Nu Quang. The cautiousness in their heart were already melting as they wanted to get closer with Zhan Chen.
