Chapter 24 I'd rather destroy it than give it to the Spirit Hall.
"If we ignore them, will they become even more reckless?"
Yue Guan hesitated.
Qian Xunji slowly said, "Sunset Forest is not the territory of my Spirit Hall. If we make the first move, even if the three upper sects and the Heaven Dou Empire back down, the Spirit Hall will still be known for its domineering ways."
"It's easy to destroy them, but it's very difficult to win back the hearts of the people!"
"Although the Heaven Dou Empire and the three upper sects are greedy, they don't dare to really break ties with my Spirit Hall."
"Therefore, this confrontation was carried out in secret by everyone in tacit agreement!"
Yue Guan snorted coldly and said, "They got off too easy!"
"Wait a little longer, wait for an excuse so that my Spirit Hall can take action against them openly and legitimately!"
Qianxun said quickly.
On the other side.
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Upon receiving the secret letter, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan, rushed over immediately without delay.
"Sect Master, what urgent matter brings you to summon me here in such a hurry?"
Tang Zhen handed the completed drawing to Yang Wudi, "Take a look, do you recognize the herbs on this?"
Yang Wudi stared at the flowers and plants on the sketch, his pupils widening little by little.
"Where did the sect leader see these medicinal herbs in the paintings?"
Tang Zhen said, "The herbs in the painting are what I saw in the herb field in Sunset Forest."
"A medicinal herb field? Impossible!" Yang Wudi shook his head repeatedly. "These herbs... no, immortal herbs couldn't possibly be cultivated in a medicinal herb field!"
"A divine herb?!" Emperor Xueye exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Yuanzhen said at the same time, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? These really are immortal herbs?"
Although Ning Fengzhi did not speak, his breathing became noticeably rapid.
"I only recognize a few of these magical herbs..."
Yang Wudi pulled out a painting and said, "This painting depicts the Fragrant Silk Flower, which is said to be able to cure all poisons..."
"And this one, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy, and can increase the growth rate of soul power, making it a cultivation immortal item!"
"This rare and precious chrysanthemum can forge an indestructible body. It is said to be of the same origin as Yue Guan's martial soul. Yue Guan has been searching for a celestial-grade rare and precious chrysanthemum!"
"As for the rest, I don't recognize them, but since they're planted together with these immortal herbs, they must be extraordinary!"
Yang Wudi carefully observed the flowers and plants in the painting and added, "Judging from the painting, these immortal herbs seem to be immature. Yes, they are somewhat different from the mature immortal herbs recorded in the secret manual of my Breaking Clan!"
"Damn it! I knew the Spirit Hall wouldn't let Dugu Bo stay in Sunset Forest. Turns out they'd already discovered the immortal herb. They played the trick of hiding it under the lamplight quite well!"
Emperor Xueye slammed his hand on the table, his face full of anger. Sunset Forest was the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and even if there were immortal herbs, they belonged to his Heavenly Dou Empire!
Tang Zhen and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing the greed in each other's eyes!
Amazing herb!
Who wouldn't want that!
Tang Zhen asked, "Yang Wudi, in your opinion, how many more years will it take for these immortal herbs to mature?"
"It will take at least another ten years!" Yang Wudi said after a moment's thought. "The energy required for immortal herbs is enormous, so it can't be compared to ordinary herbs!"
Ning Fengzhi said incredulously, "More than ten years? Does Dugu Bo really intend to stay in Sunset Forest for more than ten years?"
Yu Yuanzhen frowned. He had thought he could pick them immediately, but now it would be more than ten years.
These past ten years or so have been neither long nor short, and there have been too many variables in them!
They can't send people to guard the place indefinitely, and they don't even know the exact time when the immortal herb will mature. Even if they wait for more than ten years, by the time they get the news, the immortal herb will probably have been picked clean by the Spirit Hall!
"If these medicinal herbs are not fully mature, how much will their medicinal efficacy be reduced?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked aloud.
Yang Wudi didn't frown, and after a long while he spoke, "I'm not entirely sure either. If we pick it now, it will probably only have about 60% of the medicinal effect."
"Sixty percent efficacy..."
The Snow Night Emperor murmured.
Tang Zhen also fell into deep thought, "Sixty percent efficacy is not a small amount!"
"Picking it now would be such a waste..." Yang Wudi couldn't help but say, "Immortal herbs are rare and hard to come by. Who knows when we'll encounter one again!"
Emperor Xueye sighed, "That's still better than giving it to the Spirit Hall! Sunset Forest is the territory of my Heaven Dou Empire. What does it mean for the Spirit Hall to send people to occupy it?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Emperor Xueye and said, "Your Majesty means..."
"We'd rather destroy it than give it to the Spirit Hall," Emperor Xueye said. "If we continue to allow the Spirit Hall's power to grow, will we still have any room to survive?"
Tang Zhen nodded and said, "I agree!"
"I agree!" Ning Fengzhi said, "The three upper sects are of the same blood and lineage, so we should naturally stand together through thick and thin!"
Yu Yuanzhen knew this was a direct challenge to him, and immediately said, "Alright, then pick them!"
Yang Wudi sighed repeatedly as he listened to their decision, his eyes filled with regret.
"Then everyone, go back and prepare yourselves. We will make our move on another day!" said Emperor Xueye.
Tang Zhen and his group immediately stood up and quietly left the Heavenly Dou Palace.
"Invincible, you should go back first!"
Yang Wudi nodded, took a few steps, and then turned back.
"Sect Master, it's such a waste to just pick those immortal herbs like this..."
Tang Zhen said, "I know, but if we don't pick them, it will only strengthen the Spirit Hall's power!"
Yang Wudi sighed deeply and then left. He regretted the loss of those immortal herbs. What Tang Zhen said was true. In the struggle between sect trials, some things always had to be sacrificed!
This was unavoidable!
The Haotian Sect disciple following Tang Zhen asked in confusion, "Sect Master, we discovered the immortal herb first, so why should we share it with other forces?"
"You want my Haotian Sect to consume those immortal herbs all by myself?"
Tang Zhen laughed.
A disciple of the Haotian Sect said, "That's right! This will greatly enhance the strength of our Haotian Sect!"
"Let's not even talk about whether my Haotian Sect can swallow these immortal herbs. Even if we manage to seize some of them, so what?"
Tang Zhen said calmly.
"Can my Clear Sky Sect withstand the wrath of the Spirit Hall? In the end, we may only face the possibility of our sect being destroyed."
"Besides, Emperor Xueye has repeatedly emphasized today that Sunset Forest is the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Don't you understand what that means?"
The Haotian Sect disciple broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Sect Master, it was my greed that led me astray!"
Even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain those immortal herbs!
Tang Zhen looked towards the Sunset Forest, where the poisonous miasma emitted a strange glow under the sunlight.
"It has already alerted the Spirit Hall. I'm afraid there are already several experts guarding the Sunset Forest!"
at this time.
Inside the Spirit Hall.
Yue Guan entered the main hall and said, "Your Holiness, there is news about the Nine Heart Begonia family."
"Where?" Qianxun asked.
