Chapter 311: A Traitor Has Appeared in Your Breaking Clan!
Not long after Yu Tianlin and the other 2 entered with Yang Wudi, several shadowy figures appeared outside the Breaking Clan residence.
The commotion caused by the battle between Yu Tianlin and Yang Wudi had been considerable, so it naturally drew the attention of some people. Aside from those who were simply curious, the rest mainly came from several major powers.
Fengxing City, where the Breaking Clan was based, was a major city of the Star Luo Empire. Aside from the Breaking Clan, the ancestral land of the Sacred Dragon Sect, the leader of the Four Lower Sects, was also located here. In addition, both the Spirit Hall branch and the Star Luo Empire authorities had sent people to investigate the situation.
From the traces left behind by the battle, they quickly pieced together the general picture. The sharp aura was clearly left by the Soul Breaking Spear, while the lightning marks naturally pointed to a Thunder Attribute Spirit Master.
There were many Thunder Attribute Spirit Masters, and since members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan rarely moved around in the Star Luo Empire, they did not immediately connect this matter to them. However, some of the Sacred Dragon Clan people were present, and they sharply sensed a lingering trace of Dragon Qi in the battlefield.
Thunder Attribute, plus Dragon Qi, that practically pointed straight at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Why did people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suddenly come to Fengxing City?" the Sacred Dragon Clan members thought to themselves. "And judging from the traces, they even clashed with the Breaking Clan. What exactly is going on? Could this somehow be related to us?"
"No matter what, we should report this to the Clan Master first. The Clan Master can then inform Spirit Hall."
As loyal lackeys of Spirit Hall, the Sacred Dragon Clan naturally had to report any unusual movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to Spirit Hall.
On the other side, Yang Wudi led Yu Tianlin and the other 2 into the main hall of the Breaking Clan. He had tea served, but after that, he said nothing and simply stared fixedly at Yu Tianlin.
Yu Luomian and Ye Lingling did not know the real reason Yu Tianlin had come to find Yang Wudi, so they also remained silent.
Yu Tianlin, however, was in no hurry. He leisurely took a sip of tea before saying, "Senior Yang, we just fought a battle. I thought you would at least let us rest a little first."
Seeing Yu Tianlin drag things out, Yang Wudi raised an eyebrow and said directly, "That little girl's Spirit healing ability is indeed impressive. I'm already fine. Your condition is even better than mine, so there's no need to rest. Speak quickly."
"Since Senior Yang is in such a hurry, then let's begin." Yu Tianlin set down his teacup. "However, there's one thing I should tell you first. That Fragrant Silk Immortal Grade is gone, but I have another medicinal herb that can rival it."
The moment he heard the first half, Yang Wudi almost slammed the table in anger, thinking Yu Tianlin was deliberately toying with him. Fortunately, he restrained himself after hearing the word "but."
"The Fragrant Silk Immortal Grade is gone? Fine. As long as what you brought can rival it, that's enough." Yang Wudi no longer dwelled on it and directly extended his hand. "What is it? Let me see."
This time, Yu Tianlin did not keep him waiting. He flipped his hand, took out a black jade box roughly 2 feet long from his dragon patterned ring, and handed it over. Starlike points of light faintly shimmered across its surface.
"Star Jade?"
The moment he saw the jade box, Yang Wudi immediately began rubbing his hands excitedly.
Star Jade had miraculous preservation effects, yet it was extremely rare. Anything stored in a Star Jade box was definitely not ordinary medicine.
Even someone as sharp and stubborn as Yang Wudi became extremely careful when receiving the box. The moment he opened it, a clear medicinal fragrance immediately drifted out. Just taking one breath of it made the spirit feel refreshed.
Inside the jade box was not some dazzlingly gorgeous herb, but 7 brownish yellow root strands that looked almost ordinary. It was hard to imagine such simple looking roots could release such an astonishing fragrance.
"These are... ginseng roots?" Yang Wudi quickly recognized them, though he still asked with some uncertainty, "But from what kind of ginseng? The medicinal power inside them seems terrifying."
Looking at the 7 roots in the Star Jade box, Yu Tianlin also sighed softly. "These 7 roots came from a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King."
"Under normal circumstances, the roots of a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King must be cut and used while still fresh. Only Star Jade can preserve them and avoid that limitation."
A ginseng king rose 1 grade every 10,000 years. A so called Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King had therefore grown for 90,000 years. Its medicinal properties were far beyond those of an ordinary Immortal Herb. Even just these 7 roots were enough to rival the Fragrant Silk Immortal Grade.
Strictly speaking, these 7 roots were not Yu Tianlin's. There was no such item in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had obtained them from Dugu Bo instead.
After Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned, Dugu Bo, as the one treating him, had access to the entire Heaven Dou imperial treasury. Any medicinal herb there that could be useful was free for him to take. These 7 roots of the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King had been discovered by Dugu Bo inside the Heaven Dou treasury. No one knew where the imperial family had managed to acquire such a treasure.
At the time, Yu Tianlin had assured Dugu Bo that he had a way to cure Emperor Xue Ye, but that it would require some medicinal materials. Trusting him, Dugu Bo had handed these 7 ginseng king roots over.
After all, this was for treating Emperor Xue Ye. Using Heaven Dou's medicinal resources was only natural. Yu Tianlin was merely making use of available resources. The fact that he was not even profiting from it was already generous enough. No one could expect him to pay out of his own pocket.
"Ginseng roots of a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King..."
After hearing Yu Tianlin's explanation, Yang Wudi's eyes went unfocused as he stared at the 7 roots in the Star Jade box, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Senior, the roots of a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King need to retain their vitality. They can't stay exposed for too long. So..." Seeing Yang Wudi enter a dazed state and completely ignore everything around him, Yu Tianlin could only remind him.
"Right! Right!" Yu Tianlin's words jolted Yang Wudi awake. He hurriedly closed the Star Jade box, though he still could not resist caressing it again and again. "You're absolutely right."
After obtaining something as precious as the roots of a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King, Yang Wudi, as someone obsessed with medicine, was naturally overjoyed. All his resentment toward Yu Tianlin from before vanished immediately, and the way he looked at him also became far more agreeable.
"Yu Tianlin, I truly must thank you this time."
"You're too polite, Senior Yang. We already had an agreement. I'm the one who delayed fulfilling it for so many years, so I should be the one ashamed." Yu Tianlin paused. "But besides fulfilling that old promise, I came here this time for another extremely important matter."
Yang Wudi was in an excellent mood now. He grandly waved his hand and said, "Fine. Speak."
"It's like this." Yu Tianlin carefully chose his words. "Senior, forgive my bluntness, but it seems a traitor has already appeared within your Breaking Clan, and that person has defected to Spirit Hall…"
