Chapter 711 - 711: Pill House (2)
However, since he had coincidentally met Li Yunqing, this kid, he would not have to worry about the number of Spirit Gathering Fruits in the future. In the short term, he would not have to think about how to cultivate them.
Although Wang Lanren had left, she had left behind a mess. He had been busy destroying the herbal field every day. One patch after another, the entire place was in a mess.
Countless medicinal herbs were destroyed.
However, with Wang Lin’s instructions, Li Yuanqing didn’t think it was a bad thing.
Since all the losses could be blamed on Wang Lan, things would be easy to handle.
Li Yuanqing took out an entire bottle of Divine Source Water. His body was suspended in the air, and there was a pond in the air under his feet. This pond was at least a thousand feet square.
Li Yuanqing poured the entire bottle of Divine Source Water into the huge pool. After a while, the water was mixed evenly.
Countless transparent pipes extended out from the pool and watered the damaged medicinal plants.
This method was very efficient. The entire herbal field was quickly watered. As long as there were some injured herbs, they all became Li Yuanqing’s targets.
After the medicinal herbs below drank the diluted Divine Source Water, they began to grow crazily.
In order not to restrict their growth, Li Yuanqing even removed all the protective arrays outside, allowing them to grow even more unscrupulously. Many medicinal herbs surged into the sky and turned into huge plants, as if they wanted to reach the top of the sky.
Everything came and went very quickly. After Li Yuanqing collected the mountains of fruits, he uprooted the plants that had already grown.
These medicinal plants were specially cultivated and could only bear fruit once. It was not a pity to directly eradicate them. The sect would issue new ones every month. Moreover, the heavy losses this time was not Li Yuanqing’s problem. He could apply for a replacement from the sect.
Li Yuanqing looked at the mountain of fruits in front of him and smiled.
At first, he thought that Wang Lan, this crazy old man, was too annoying, but now, he inexplicably liked this old man.
“If Wang Lan could come once a month, wouldn’t it save a lot of time and effort?”
Li Yuanqing pondered silently in his heart. Initially, he was still thinking about how to use all his efforts to chase Wang Lan away. Now, he was no longer like this. He was thinking about how to coax this old man over.
When Zhao Baoyun arrived at the Nine Essence Herb Garden again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Li Yunqing could clearly see that Zhao Baoyun’s forehead was covered in sweat, and his face had turned green.
“Senior Brother, what happened to you?”
Li Yuanqing stood at the side and asked carefully.
Zhao Baoyun felt as if his throat was stuck together. He squeezed out a sound after a long time.
“This… How did it become like this?”
Li Yuanqing took out the excuse he had prepared earlier and explained.
“Ever since Old Senior Wang arrived, he has been working hard in the fields. He even took some random things to water them. Many of these medicinal herbs have been watered to death, and some of them look strange.”
“What about the medicinal herbs? Where did they go?”
“I don’t know what the old senior used those herbs for, but he dug them all up and left behind this bottle of pills before he left, saying that it was to make up for the sect’s losses.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, he took out the bottle of Small Origin Pills. There were only ten of them inside, and he secretly kept five for himself.
Zhao Baoyun opened the bottle and saw the rich medicinal fragrance inside, which temporarily woke him up.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Although these small origin pills were also precious items, these few had destroyed his medicinal field to this extent. At most, they were worth the money of a medicinal herb seedling.
Li Yuanqing asked Zhao Baoyun worriedly,”Senior Brother, what about this month’s offerings? I’m new here. If I encounter such a thing again, I’m afraid…” Zhao Baoyun swallowed hard and said to him,””Don’t be afraid! Senior Wang is our sect’s honored guest, and his losses will be borne by the sect. In a while, I will count all the lost medicinal herbs. 1 won’t count them on you.”
“Thank you so much, Senior Brother. I’ve been worried these past few days, thinking about what would happen if 1 didn’t pay this month’s tribute.”
Zhao Baoyun came to the entrance of the valley and began to count the losses below.
“This old man wasn’t like this in the past.”
As he looked at the tragic scene, he grumbled.
In the past, when the old man came, he would at most take some medicinal herbs and use them on the spot. However, this time, it was as if he was cultivating in here and blew up the entire medicinal herb field.
However, it was also possible that the old man felt a little guilty in his heart, so he left this bottle of pills as compensation.
One had to know that Wang Lan had never taken the initiative to leave behind any medicinal pills to make up for it.
At most, the refined medicinal pills would be given priority to be traded with their sect. This was already considered a huge discount.
“Why do these medicinal ingredients seem to be growing slower than before?”
Zhao Baoyun frowned as he looked at the scene in the herbal field in front of him. The spiritual energy that used to be so dense that it could drip water had become much thinner. It could be seen at once.
The spiritual power was now covered in a thin layer. The medicinal herbs that were originally very vigorous had now dried up a little.
“I don’t know what the old senior did, but he’s been busy in this herbal field for a long time. 1 think he planted something, right?” Li Yuanqing explained.”
“So it turns out that this is the case.”
Zhao Baoyun carefully inspected all the medicinal fields.
After noting down the losses, he left in a hurry.
After sending off this senior brother, Li Yuanqing hurriedly returned to the herbal field.
Looking at the obviously shriveled medicinal ingredients, Li Yuanqing began to worry.
After consuming the Divine Source Water, the growth of the medicinal herbs was too fierce. Not only did they absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the underground mineral veins, but they also took away more than half of the spiritual energy gathered by these array formations.
This caused the surrounding medicinal herbs to lose a lot of spiritual power sources, causing their growth to slow down.
From the looks of it, it could not be too heavy in a medicinal field. Moreover, the frequency had to be guaranteed to be within a safe range. Otherwise, if the medicinal herbs next to it were sucked to death, it would not be worth it.
A thousand miles away, in the core area of the five clouds, in a dark cave abode.
A group of Martial Essence Sect disciples were busy. At this moment, a group of people gathered together and stared at the dim line in front of them. It was a heated debate.
“How can no one drill into the mine? If it wasn’t for outsiders stealing our Spiritual Energy, how could so much Spiritual Energy be sucked away from this mine at once?”
“But after our people checked, there were no signs of human damage. It’s more like the array above absorbed too much.”
“However, the 18 yuan line is all for the herb garden. Even if those herbs are growing fiercely, how much can they absorb?”
“Is it possible that someone used the spirit gathering array of that medicinal herb to secretly absorb the spiritual energy in the mineral vein?”
“If that’s the case, there’s still a possibility. However, that Spirit Gathering Array can only be absorbed and used by plants. Who can use it to steal spiritual energy?”
“This…”
For a moment, everyone fell into a short silence. They really couldn’t understand why the 18-elemental thread spirit lode, which had not experienced any problems for a long time, suddenly lost a large amount of spiritual energy.
“Pay close attention to it first. When the next time the spiritual power disappears by a large margin, directly control the 18 elemental threads. We must find out the reason for the loss of spiritual power..”
