Chapter 152: Entering the Eastern Medicine Garden

Chapter 152, Entering the Eastern Medicine Garden

Liu Yan was waiting for the gatekeeper to continue. But after waiting for a while, there was nothing.

After so much was said, there was only food and accommodation guaranteed and nothing else?

Liu Yan was a little speechless and said, “And then? Just food and accommodation guaranteed?”

The gatekeeper frowned slightly and said, “Young man, why don’t you know how to be satisfied? Isn’t it good enough to have food and accommodation guaranteed? Our treatment here is considered the best in the entire Lighthouse Academy!”

Liu Yan was speechless and continued to ask, “Do you have any salary and other benefits?”

“No.”

“Can you obtain any precious medicinal herbs?”

“No.”

Liu Yan was utterly speechless. At the end of the day, there was nothing else provided besides food and accommodation when a medicine farmer entered the Eastern Medicine Garden?

Liu Yan still wanted to enter the Eastern Medicine Garden to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. But if he entered like this, Liu Yan felt there was no hope of getting the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

After all, he wasn’t even given a salary. He would be fantasizing if he still expected them to give him the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

Just then, the gatekeeper seemed to have thought of something. He said, “Oh right, our medicine garden still has some requirements for the medicine farmers. First, after entering the medicine garden, you are not allowed to leave easily. You can only leave once a week, and you have to ask for permission in advance. Other than that, there is also an assessment system. We do not accept those who cheat. There will be a certain amount of assessment given every day. Those who do not meet the job requirements will be fired by us.”

Liu Yan rolled his eyes. Only food and accommodation were provided, yet they were asking for so much. That was simply outrageous!

At that moment, the gatekeeper had an impatient look on his face. He said unhappily, “Kid, do you want to be a medicine farmer or not? I only want you because you look stronger and more capable of farm work. Otherwise, who do you think will be able to come in and become a medicine farmer just because they want to? If you want to come in, come in now. There will not be a second chance if you miss this. Don’t think about coming in later even if you beg me!”

Liu Yan was a little speechless. He didn’t understand why the gatekeeper could be so arrogant.

action But on second thought, the Eastern Medicine Garden was indeed the core area of Lighthouse Academy.

And most importantly, Liu Yan needed to obtain ten-thousand-year-old ginseng for his cultivation. Only by entering the Eastern Medicine Garden would he have a chance.

If he couldn’t even enter the Eastern Medicine Garden, Liu Yan wouldn’t even be able to complete the first step of cultivation.

Since it was only the first step of cultivation, Liu Yan naturally didn’t want to give up. No matter how difficult it was, he had to persevere.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go in and become a medicine farmer, alright?” Liu Yan compromised.

Liu Yan didn’t care anymore. In any case, Liu Yan didn’t lack money now, nor the salary and other benefits.

That was also the only way to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. He could only go in and give it a try.

If he really couldn’t obtain the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, he could only think of another way.

During that period, he would at most be a medicine farmer for free.

In any case, Liu Yan’s current ability to increase his strength by a large margin on level three of the Tower was quite limited, so he had sufficient time.

Liu Yan didn’t think highly of how the other Awakened slowly trained and increased their strength.

Previously, in the Tower, he had been using Divine Extraction to quickly increase his strength. So naturally, Liu Yan wouldn’t think highly of that meager strength that was increased through training.

How could people who were used to eating luxuriously get used to eating meagerly?

When the gatekeeper heard Liu Yan agree, he immediately revealed a happy expression and said, “That’s right. Sign the contract, and you can enter our Eastern Medicine Garden and become a glorious medicine farmer!”

As he said that, the gatekeeper threw over a contract as if he had long prepared it.

Liu Yan received it and took a look. The promise the medicine garden made to Liu Yan was only to provide him with food and accommodation. The rest were the various requirements the medicine garden had for Liu Yan.

Apart from the two points the gatekeeper mentioned earlier, there were many other requirements.

Things like getting up on time at six in the morning, having to eat all the food, and all sorts of countless strange requirements.

Liu Yan was a little speechless but agreed and chose to enter. He didn’t overthink it.

The worst-case scenario was that he would have to suffer there for a period. Liu Yan could afford to waste that time.

Liu Yan didn’t think too much and immediately signed the contract.

Instantly, the contract turned into a ray of light and disappeared. The contract had already been signed. If Liu Yan went against it, he would have to pay a corresponding price.

Seeing that, the smile on the gatekeeper’s face became even broader. He threw a token into Liu Yan’s hand and said, “Here, this is your exclusive token. You can enter the medicine garden with the token, but you need to ask for permission to obtain another token. Remember, this token is your exclusive token. You will also have to pay compensation if you lose it!”

Liu Yan had also seen that point in the contract just now.

It seemed that he needed to compensate 100 million federation coins if he lost his identity token. That was simply a scam!

Liu Yan took the token and looked at it. The wooden token was extremely rough. No matter how he looked at it, it could not be worth 100 million federation coins.

Liu Yan was too lazy to say anything more to the gatekeeper. The earlier he entered the Eastern Medicine Garden, the earlier he could obtain the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and the faster he could leave that scam place.

Following that, Liu Yan took the identity token and walked into the Eastern Medicine Garden.

The gatekeeper behind him, who had always been carefree, revealed a smug smile when he saw that Liu Yan had successfully entered.

Liu Yan carefully kept the identity token. Although it looked rough and was made of wood, it was still worth 100 million. He couldn’t lose it.

When he arrived at the medicine garden’s main gate, the identity token emitted a ray of light. Following that, a teleportation array appeared at the gate and sucked Liu Yan into it.

After a bout of dizziness, Liu Yan appeared in another space.

At a glance, there were all kinds of towering trees, rare herbs, and herb fields. There were countless of them.

Other than that, there were also quite a few small houses that looked like old houses from the last century. They were extremely simple and old.

In addition, Liu Yan also felt that the various elemental powers in the air seemed extremely dense.

Liu Yan’s current strength had been sealed, so he should not be able to feel the various elemental powers in the air at all, nor could he mobilize and use those elemental powers.

However, the space’s elemental powers were so dense that an ordinary person like Liu Yan, who had his strength sealed, could feel them.

Liu Yan was immediately a little surprised. He did not expect the Eastern Medicine Garden to be another space even though it belonged to the upper house of the Lighthouse Academy.

It was no wonder that the Eastern Medicine Garden could cultivate a large number of rare herbs. The elements and origin power here were so dense. It would be strange if it couldn’t produce many rare herbs.

It felt like any random crop like potatoes could become rare herbs here.

At the same time, Liu Yan also understood why the Eastern Medicine Garden, being an important core place, had such weak and lax guarding at the main gate. It was entirely because it was not in the same space. Outsiders who didn’t have the identity token wouldn’t be able to open the teleportation array to enter. So naturally, there was not much need to guard it. The teleportation array itself was the best guard.
