Chapter 323: The elders went offline
The elders got up and left.
The elders of the Pill Pavilion got up from their seats with displeasure on their faces.
“We still need to refine pills!”
What weeding?
What does it have to do with us?
It’s the patriarch’s fault. Not only did he chop off our dragon wood, he also wants us to clean up the weeds.
Who has time to play with you?
“Elders, please take care. It’s not too late to go and see the patriarch’s request first!”
Bai Zhijing reminded them.
They felt that things were not that simple.
“We really have something to do!”
“Elder Bai, go and take a look! If Elder Bai has the time, take our share of the weeds with you!”
The elders said.
Then they walked out of the hall!
What weeding!
They were not interested
“You guys wait first. Wait for me to see the result before you make a decision. Every time the patriarch sends us a message, it’s a big deal!”
Bai Zhijing scurried out, her voice still remaining in the hall.
“Maybe the patriarch has become muddled this time!”
“I can’t figure it out. It’s a ten-thousand-year-old dragon tree! What does he want with such a big tree?”
“Exactly. When we refine pills, the best we can do is pluck some leaves and fruits. We can’t even bear to hurt the skin. We even take care of it every day.”
“The tree that we’ve been protecting for generations has been cut down just like that. Even if we need it urgently, we only cut down a branch.”
“We’ll accept it even if he saws off one of the big branches. Why did he cut down the entire tree?”
Several Pill Pavilion elders complained loudly.
The other elders also had strange expressions.
They couldn’t understand what the patriarch meant.
As they spoke, the group of elders arrived at the entrance of the Great Hall and said goodbye to each other.
Those who had things to do left first.
Those who had nothing to do started chatting at the entrance of the Great Hall.
Each time they went into seclusion, it would be a few months and half a year. Some elders hadn’t seen each other for two or three years, so they talked about a few more things.
Some of the lower-level elders asked the higher-level elders some questions.
More and more elders took out the things in their storage bags to exchange.
This was also the practice that the elders formed in private after every meeting.
On the back mountain!
Bai Zhijing’s figure appeared in front of the ruined temple.
“Weeds?”
She glanced at the ruined temple.
Indeed, the ruined temple was overgrown with weeds.
No one had come here for many years.
When she thought of the patriarch’s words about weeding, could it be that he was going to come back after getting rid of the weeds in the dilapidated temple?
She drew her sword, and just as she was about to make a move…
Whoosh ~
A gentle breeze brushed by, and not far away, the sound of something collapsing could be heard.
Bai Zhijing turned around curiously, and her spiritual sense unconsciously swept over.
“That is…”
Then, Bai Zhijing’s figure appeared on the edge of a small hill that had been piled up.
Medicinal herbs that were ten thousand years old!
No, medicinal herbs that were more than a hundred thousand years old.
All of them.
After ten thousand years, the medicinal properties of any kind of medicinal herbs would change, let alone medicinal herbs that were more than a hundred thousand years old.
Medicinal herbs that were more than a hundred thousand years old!
The most shocking thing was that many of the medicinal herbs were not ordinary medicinal herbs.
Selaginella tamariscina! Yin-yang flower, Saussurea involucrata!
It was not easy to find any of them on the Continent, let alone one that was ten thousand years old.
No~
They were more than a hundred thousand years old.
What was worse was that these medicinal herbs were piled up like a mountain.
A mountain!
It was a very big mountain.
“Am I seeing things?”
Bai Zhijing muttered to herself.
She scanned the mountain of medicinal herbs again. She gathered all the knowledge about medicinal herbs in her mind.
“This silver orchid king seems to have some mutations. Has it become a demon?”
Bai Zhijing licked her lips.
But she was not sure.
It was not that she was not sure, but she could not believe it.
Everything seemed to be like a dream.
“I have to ask someone!”
Whoosh~
Bai Zhijing’s figure disappeared.
At the entrance of the Great Hall, only four elders were still bargaining.
The other elders and disciples had left long ago.
One of them was an elder of the Pill Pavilion.
“I’ll add another 800 prenatal stones in exchange for a Barrier Breaking Pill. My disciple is also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. As your martial uncle, you have to show some respect.”
“If every disciple and master of the Xuantian Sect was like you, I, as an elder of the Pill Pavilion, might as well vomit blood and die.”
The elder of the Pill Pavilion had a miserable look on his face.
Was the Barrier Breaking Pill that easy to refine?
The moment he opened his mouth, he cut the price in half.
Does he still want to live?
Did his disciples still want to live?
“Help me please!”
“You have disciples, but to you it seems like our Pill Pavilion doesn’t have any disciples? In order to refine pills, many of our Pill Pavilion’s disciples don’t even have the time to cultivate pills. Selling the Barrier Breaking Pill to our own disciples is even more expensive than selling it to you.”
“There’s no other way! The Xuantian Sect is poor. It’s not like you don’t know.”
Even though they had obtained a lot of resources from Mount Eternal, it was only temporary.
The Xuantian Sect had spent a lot of resources to recover.
After recruiting more disciples, Mount Eternal’s resources were barely enough.
Speaking of which, though life was a little better than many years ago, it was still tough.
It was impossible to provide resources freely.
Many disciples relied on time to accumulate their cultivation achievement.
They didn’t have time to hunt demons and beasts to snatch some resources.
Many disciples went out and never came back.
It was too pitiful!
The days without resources were too torturous for cultivators like them.
What was worse was that there were many Orcs on the continent. Demons and Orcs eyed them covetously, wanting to eat them at any time.
“The elders are all here. That’s great!”
Bai Zhijing suddenly appeared beside the elders.
She scanned them with her divine consciousness and found that the other elders had already left.
Fortunately!
Having these elders was enough.
“Eh? Elder Bai, you’re back so soon. Didn’t the patriarch ask you to go clean up the weeds?”
The elders turned around.
Just as they were bargaining, Bai Zhijing interrupted them.
The elders were slightly dissatisfied.
“Hurry up, follow me to the back of the mountain. There’s something important…”
As Bai Zhijing spoke, she grabbed the Pill Pavilion elder and flew towards the back of the mountain.
“Sigh, my Barrier Breaking Pill!”
Seeing that the Pill Pavilion elder was being dragged away for no reason, the elder who was haggling over the price hurriedly followed.
“What’s the big deal?”
“Let’s go and take a look!”
The other two elders looked at each other and followed.
In front of the huge medicinal herb mountain.
The four elders had their mouths wide open!
Especially the Pill Pavilion elder whose jaw seemed to have been dislocated, drooling.
Bai Zhijing watched anxiously from the side.
“Elders, are these medicinal herbs authentic…”
Gosh ~
Suddenly, Bai Zhijing noticed that the medicinal herb mountain in front of her seemed to be a little bigger than before.
“Authentic!”
After a long while, the Pill Pavilion elder replied monotonously.
Slurp~
Then, he sucked up his saliva into his mouth.
“So many medicinal herbs! Is this for real?”
The other elders also recovered from their stupor.
They were shocked just now.
“The medicinal fragrance isn’t fake, right?”
“Hehe~”
Then, the elders opened their mouths widely.
“With so many medicinal herbs, we will be rich. The strength of the Xuantian Sect will increase by another level.”
Since the medicinal herbs were real…
The few elders were daydreaming about how they and their disciples would be able to do whatever they wanted on the Continent after their cultivation achievement increased after using these medicinal herbs.
“What are you waiting for? Clean up these weeds! Don’t pile them up on the back of the mountain!”
Just as the few elders were still daydreaming, a loud shout rang in their ears.
It was the patriarch!
The five elders instantly turned solemn.
Then, they were dumbfounded.
“What did the patriarch say just now?”
“He asked us to clean up these things and not pile them on the back of the mountain!”
“What did he say these medicinal herbs should be called?”
“Weeds!”
Weeds!
Patriarch!
Is there something wrong with your brain? Why do you call these medicinal herbs that have been around for tens of thousands of years weeds?
In an instant, the minds of the elders went blank again.
