Chapter 271: Offering Life as Guarantee

Li Changlin’s words were clearly heard by everyone, immediately prompting a chorus of agreement from the disciples.

"Yes, let him try to pass the Thousand Medicine Formation again, and he must personally name and describe each medicinal herb."

"Exactly, if he gets it right again, it will prove that he was telling the truth!"

"To prove that Jiang Yun didn’t cheat, this is indeed the simplest and most direct way!"

Hearing the words of the many disciples, the sect master of the Grand Medicine Sect remained silent for a moment before projecting his voice into the Land of Inheritance.

"Jiang Yun, do you have any objections to trying the Thousand Medicine Formation again?"

Before Jiang Yun could respond, Xiao Zheng stepped forward, stood in front of Jiang Yun, and loudly declared, "sect master, disciple Xiao Zheng is willing to offer his life as guarantee that Jiang Yun did not cheat!"

Although Jiang Yun’s expression remained calm, there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

Because, his knowledge of medicine all came from his grandfather’s teachings and guidance.

And his grandfather, who was the person he cared for and respected the most in his life, now being accused of cheating in the medicine competition was like doubting his grandfather’s teachings.

So, this made him feel angry.

However, when he saw Xiao Zheng suddenly appear in front of him, especially when he heard him say "I guarantee it with my life," Jiang Yun’s anger gradually turned into warmth.

At a time when everyone doubted him, having someone come forward to vouch for his innocence with their life.

This feeling reminded Jiang Yun of his martial sister, and his master!

From that moment on, Jiang Yun had one more person he was willing to protect with his life!

"I have no objections!"

Jiang Yun finally gave his answer, but after those four words, he spoke again, "However, there is a question I’d like to ask the respected elders of your sect!"

The sect master said softly, "Speak!"

"If I had lost in the first round of the competition, if all those who came to your sect seeking medicine had failed…"

"I wonder, would the elders be willing to give me, to give all those seeking medicine, another chance?"

Jiang Yun’s question hit every person in the Grand Medicine Sect like a sharp sword, piercing deep into their hearts.

Because they all knew deep down inside, letting Jiang Yun break the Thousand Medicine Formation again would be extremely unfair to Jiang Yun.

Whether it’s the Drug Competition of the Grand Medicine Sect or the five challenges that seekers of medicine must face, everyone only has one chance.

No exceptions.

However, because of Jiang Yun’s outstanding performance, he now has a second chance to break the formation again to prove his innocence.

If Jiang Yun’s previous performance had been too poor and he lost the qualification to seek medicine, would the Grand Medicine Sect be willing to give him another chance?

Jiang Yun didn’t expect an answer to the question. After speaking, he reached out to pull his friend Xiao Zheng away.

However, the sect master’s hoarse voice suddenly said, "Not before, but maybe after you, Jiang Yun!"

Everyone from the Grand Medicine Sect was shocked to hear the sect master’s response, finding it hard to believe.

The sect master might actually change the traditions of the Grand Medicine Sect that had been passed down for thousands of years because of Jiang Yun…

Jiang Yun was surprised for a moment, but then he clasped his hands together and thanked the sect master deeply.

Jiang Yun wasn’t just thanking for himself but for all those who would come to the Grand Medicine Sect seeking medicine in the future.

Standing up straight, Jiang Yun placed a hand on Xiao Zheng’s shoulder, gently moving him aside as he stepped forward.

"Brother Xiao, don’t worry, I’m fine!"

He was no longer the child who needed protection; he had become a strong individual capable of facing any challenge on his own.

Jiang Yun’s actions surprised Xiao Zheng a bit, but he quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright! Let’s make some people acknowledge and accept it!"

After Elder Han took a deep look at Jiang Yun, he spoke, "Since you don’t mind, I will now set up a Thousand Medicine Formation for you."

However, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "No need for the trouble, we have a ready-made medicine formation here!"

With those words, Jiang Yun took another step forward.

As he took a step, he suddenly appeared inside a Thousand Medicine Formation that had not been opened.

Because nearly five to six thousand disciples had failed to open the Thousand Medicine Formation before.

They were sent out of the Land of Inheritance when the incense extinguished, so now there are still about five to six thousand independent Thousand Medicine Formations here. Jiang Yun randomly chose one to enter.

However, his actions once again left most people stunned.

Especially the faces of Elder Han and others showed a deep sense of shock.

Because the Elder in their sect set up these Thousand Medicine Formations, the only way for others to enter is through the formation stones.

However, Jiang Yun didn’t need the formation stones at all. He walked in effortlessly as if taking a casual stroll in the park.

This can only mean that Jiang Yun also understands formations!

A cultivator who is not weak in cultivation, skilled in the ways of medicine, and understands formations is extremely rare. Yet, they have now encountered one.

To the point where they were somewhat unable to accept it.

Although Jiang Yun’s expertise in formations is far inferior to his knowledge of medicine, this so-called Thousand Medicine Formation is actually very simple.

It is not even comparable to Snow Clan grandfather’s isolation formation.

In Jiang Yun’s eyes, it is full of flaws, and coming and going is completely casual!

While Jiang Yun’s understanding of formations once again surprised Elder Han and the others, what they are more concerned about now is whether Jiang Yun can truly break open the Thousand Medicine Formation for the second time.

"Hmm, this doesn’t seem right!"

But at this moment, Li Changlin spoke up, "While this formation hasn’t been completely broken, the previous junior already broke through seventy percent of it. Jiang Yun, this seems like a shortcut!"

Although everyone could see that Li Changlin was intentionally targeting Jiang Yun, what he said was true.

The brand-new Thousand Medicine Formation requires identifying at least a hundred different herbs to break through.

With seventy percent of the Thousand Medicine Formation already broken, Jiang Yun only needs to identify thirty more herbs to fully break it.

The difficulty has been greatly reduced!

Li Changlin’s words naturally garnered agreement from some people.

Elder Han also furrowed his brow, unsure how to handle the situation for a moment.

Jiang Yun turned to Li Changlin and said, "Keep watching, whether breaking the formation requires taking shortcuts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun suddenly lifted his foot and stomped hard on the ground.

Immediately, all nine hundred and thirty types of herbs around him floated into the air.

Then, Jiang Yun raised his hands and a stream of Dao Spirit energy flowed from his fingertips, entering the nine hundred and thirty herbs.

After about thirty moments passed, Jiang Yun lowered his fingers, but the herbs remained suspended in the air.

Without saying a word, Jiang Yun placed his hands behind his back and confidently walked back to his original position.

Most people watching were puzzled, not understanding what Jiang Yun had done.

Could he have identified and written down the names and characteristics of all nine hundred and thirty herbs in such a short time?

However, the shocked expressions on Elder Han and a few other senior pharmacists’ faces became even more intense!
