Chapter 151, Food and Accommodation Guaranteed
In front of the Eastern Medicine Garden.
Liu Yan stopped the car and got out of the sports car with difficulty.
Looking at the Eastern Medicine Garden in front of him, Liu Yan was slightly shocked.
The stone gate that was nearly a hundred meters tall was extremely spectacular.
It was, after all, one of the core areas of the Lighthouse Academy and was extremely powerful.
Although it was a medicine garden, it had an extremely high status in reality.
However, there were no guards in the huge manor. There was only a guard pavilion with only a middle-aged man in charge of guarding and no one else.
Liu Yan was a little puzzled when he saw the situation.
After all, according to the information in the smart wristband, the Eastern Manor was rich in all kinds of rare medicinal herbs. Logically speaking, it should be the most important place in the Lighthouse Academy. It naturally needed many people to guard against people with ill intentions.
But looking at the Eastern Manor, only one person was guarding it despite the spectacular main gate.
Moreover, the middle-aged uncle guarding the gate was currently napping. He was extremely relaxed as if he wasn’t worried that someone would sneak into the Eastern Medicine Garden to steal the rare medicinal herbs.
Liu Yan was also a little confused, but he didn’t overthink it. He walked forward, knocked on the window, and shouted, “Uncle, wake up.”
However, the uncle in the pavilion was still napping and didn’t notice Liu Yan’s arrival at all.
Seeing that, Liu Yan finally remembered that his strength had been entirely restricted. Liu Yan’s strength was currently weaker than an ordinary person’s, so the sound of his knocking on the window was naturally very soft.
Liu Yan was a little helpless. He didn’t understand why the Principal would restrict his strength. What did it mean to restrict his strength to cultivate? Liu Yan didn’t even have the strength to knock on the glass.
Liu Yan could only lift his arm that had a wristband and forcefully knocked on the window.
The uncle inside finally woke up. He looked at Liu Yan in front of him with sleepy eyes.
“What are you doing, kid?” The middle-aged man said in a bad mood.
“Hello, uncle. I want to enter the Eastern Medicine Garden. May I ask how I can enter?” Liu Yan asked politely. After all, he had a favor to ask.
However, the uncle said unhappily, “Is the Eastern Medicine Garden a place where you can enter as you wish? That is the core of the Lighthouse Academy. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Leave!”
As the uncle spoke, he waved his hand and looked like he was about to sleep. He did not put Liu Yan in his eyes at all.
When Liu Yan heard that, he thought the uncle didn’t behave like the place was a core. He was the only one guarding the door, yet he was still sleeping. Wouldn’t outsiders just casually walk in?
However, that was still an important place in the Lighthouse Academy. Liu Yan’s trip wasn’t as simple as entering the Eastern Medicine Garden. Instead, he wanted to obtain the precious ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. Naturally, it would be better to abide by the rules.
Liu Yan could only restrain his temper and continue speaking politely, “Uncle, I’m here to cultivate. The Principal of the upper house of Lighthouse Academy told me to come. I still have the Principal’s recommendation letter here.”
As he said that, Liu Yan tapped on his smart wristband and displayed the recommendation letter of Principal Zhong Yuntian.
When he left the Principal’s office, Liu Yan had asked for the recommendation letter. At that time, Liu Yan felt that it was more worth it to have the Principal’s recommendation letter since he was going to the core areas of the upper house of Lighthouse Academy to obtain those extremely precious treasures.
At that time, the Principal had given it to him instantly with courtesy. However, after giving it to him, his expression was a little strange as he said there was a high probability that the recommendation letter would not be of use.
Liu Yan naturally did not believe it. He was the head of the upper house of Lighthouse Academy. How could the recommendation letter of the Lighthouse Academy’s Principal not be of any use?
Just like now, not to mention obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, at the very least, entering the Eastern Medicine Garden with the Principal’s recommendation letter should not be a big problem, right?
However, while Liu Yan’s eyes were filled with anticipation, the gatekeeper did not even look at it. He said unhappily, “Kid, our Eastern Medicine Garden is the Lighthouse Academy’s core area, but at the same time, it is also under our jurisdiction. Not to mention the Principal’s recommendation letter, even if the Principal came, he would not be able to enter just like that. You must be dreaming if you want to enter our Eastern Medicine Garden just by relying on a recommendation letter!”
When Liu Yan heard that, he immediately had a helpless look. Just then, Liu Yan finally understood the meaning behind Principal Zhong Yuntian’s final words.
He didn’t expect the people from the Eastern Medicine Garden to be so unyielding. Even an uncle guarding the gate didn’t care about the Lighthouse Academy’s Principal.
However, Liu Yan didn’t back down after suffering a setback.
Since he had chosen the cultivation path, Liu Yan had already prepared himself to face all kinds of difficulties.
Liu Yan had long guessed that choosing the path of cultivation wouldn’t be as smooth sailing as his previous experience on level three of the Tower. He would definitely encounter some setbacks.
Liu Yan could only continue to ask respectfully and humbly, “Uncle, this is also my first time here. Could you please tell me how I can enter the Eastern Medicine Garden? Do I need money or qualifications? Please tell me!”
The uncle finally raised his head and looked at Liu Yan for the first time. He nodded slightly but still said with a smug face, “Not bad, not bad. Your arrogance has been reduced by quite a bit at such a young age. Since you’re so polite, I’ll give you some pointers. Let me tell you. Our Eastern Medicine Garden doesn’t lack money or medicinal herbs. We never ask for help from others. It’s always others who beg us. If outsiders want to enter the Eastern Medicine Garden, it won’t work regardless of the relationship or how much money they give.”
“But.”
The gatekeeper’s voice changed as he sized up Liu Yan. Even though Liu Yan didn’t look strong, he had a muscular body that seemed full of strength. The gatekeeper nodded slightly and said, “It seems your body is not bad. It just so happens that our medicine garden is currently in the harvest season. The workload is hefty, and we are short of staffing. A young man like you who has good strength can enter the medicine garden to work part-time. You could be a medicine farmer and do the farm work. That is also your only way to enter our Eastern Medicine Garden.”
After enduring and waiting for such a long time, Liu Yan was instantly disappointed upon hearing that result.
Ultimately, he still had to become a medicine farmer and do farm work if he wanted to enter the Eastern Medicine Garden.
He was the Awakened and the genius who only appeared once in a hundred years in the Lighthouse Academy. If he had to become a medicine farmer to do farm work every day in the medicine garden, how embarrassing would that be if news of that spread? Liu Yan was immediately somewhat unwilling.
He couldn’t endure that!
The gatekeeper seemed to have seen the unwillingness on Liu Yan’s face. He smiled and said, “Kid, if you don’t wish to, just leave. Coming to our Eastern Medicine Garden to be a medicine farmer has always been something outsiders begged for. Our medicine garden’s treatment is excellent!”
When Liu Yan heard that, his expression immediately eased up a little. Liu Yan’s current cultivation was also imminent. He had to first enter the Eastern Medicine Garden before he could obtain that ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.
That was only the first step of cultivation. Liu Yan was not someone who would give up easily.
Since he had chosen that path, Liu Yan still wanted to persevere.
Liu Yan immediately asked with some anticipation, “Uncle, from what you’ve said, it seems our Eastern Medicine Garden’s medicine farmers are treated very well? Please tell me about the treatment.”
The gatekeeper immediately looked smug and said, “That’s right. Our medicine garden’s treatment is excellent. Our medicine garden guarantees food and accommodation!”
