"Shapeshifting Ganoderma, rare even in a thousand years."
Light shone in Mr. Shi's murky eyes. He sighed and said, "My Shi Clan has passed down the art of searching for Ganoderma for generations, but I've only seen records of Shapeshifting Ganoderma in books and records. I've never seen the real thing. Just Now, I've opened my eyes. It seems that only this isolated place with dense Spiritual Qi can give birth to such a spiritual thing."
He looked at the boy a few more times, a look of pity in his eyes.
Once the Ganoderma transformed, it could walk around freely and go to high places to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. If they didn't run into it today, it wouldn't be an extravagant hope to become an immortal after a few thousand years.
But now that Bao Dingheng and his people saw it, they couldn't avoid this disaster.
Fang He didn't care about what he was thinking. He just asked anxiously, "Mr. Shi, how do we capture this thing?"
Mister Shi frowned and sighed. "It's not difficult. We just need one person to cut off the roots of the tree, then block it with Metal Qi to prevent it from burrowing into the ground. Then, we can send someone up to capture it. We'll definitely be able to capture it."
Fang He was overjoyed. "That's easy. I can do it."
He was about to move when Bao Dingheng pulled him back. "Junior Apprentice Brother, wait. I still have a few questions to ask Mr. Shi."
He turned around and bowed to Mr. Shi. "Is this the only Ganoderma here?"
Mr. Shi thought for a while and said with certainty, "It was. With this Shapeshifting Ganoderma here, all the essence of Spiritual Qi will be gathered here. Its kind … Heh, how can it survive?"
When Fang He heard this, his expression changed. He secretly glanced at both sides and saw that the rest of the people had different expressions on their faces after hearing this sentence.
Bao Dingheng's expression didn't change. He nodded and said in a low voice, "Then, for the sake of safety, I will be the one to cut down the tree. What do you think?"
Among the crowd. Since he had the highest prestige and cultivation, and the Yuan Yang Sword Sect was famous for its swordsmanship, no one had any objections. The Daoist with the tall hat even said, "Daoist Bao's swordsmanship is brilliant. We will be at ease if you become famous."
Bao Dingheng laughed and said, "Dao Brother Gao is too kind. It's just that the person who catches the ganoderma needs to be nimble. Who do you all prefer? "
Daoist Gao turned around and discussed with the other three in a low voice. Then, he walked over and pointed at Zhang Yan, saying, "We've decided. Fellow Daoist Li is a cultivator of the strength path. His movements are faster than ours, so he is the most suitable person to step forward."
Bao Dingheng gave Daoist Gao a deep look. He then looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any difficulties?"
Zhang Yan smiled. He said, "Since Fellow Daoists think highly of me, I won't let you down."
"Alright!"
Bao Dingheng then said to General Shi, "General Shi is well versed in the art of catching ganoderma. I'll have to trouble you to bring Brother Li to a suitable place to make his move."
Elder Shi nodded. He glanced at Zhang Yan and said in a friendly tone, "Little brother, come with me."
After the two of them disappeared into the forest, Bao Dingheng called everyone closer and gave them a few instructions. He wanted them to stand guard in all directions. On one hand, he was afraid that Zhang Yan would make a mistake. The herb had escaped somewhere else. Secondly, it was to prevent anyone from spying on them in the dark.
This arrangement was also reasonable. Thus, the few of them happily accepted the order and left.
After the crowd dispersed, Bao Dingheng stood where he was and did not move. No one knew what he was thinking. Not long after, Fang He quietly turned around. There was no surprise on his face. He glanced left and right and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, you gave me a look just now. Do you have something to say to me?"
Fang He tiptoed over and said softly, "Senior Brother, let me ask you something. What are you going to do with this Morphing Ganoderma?"
Bao Dingheng's expression changed slightly. He said, "Junior Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."
Fang He glanced around a few times. After making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, this Morphing Ganoderma is rare to see in a thousand years. I don't believe that Gao Yingtu and the others are not tempted."
Bao Dingheng also knew that although Priest Gao and the others had some dealings with him, they were not necessarily on good terms. It was only because they had the same goal this time that they gathered together.
Just now, these four people were unwilling to make a move just because they heard of Lan Yuchun's name. From this, it could be imagined that they were just a combination of interests. If they encountered something that involved their own safety, they would only look on coldly from the sidelines. But if they encountered something beneficial, they would probably swarm forward.
As for whether these four people would fall out with them for this Morphing Ganoderma, Bao Dingheng was also not sure.
Fang He said again, "This Morphing Ganoderma can only be used by three or four people at most. Even so, it will greatly reduce its medicinal effect. Therefore, if there is one less person, it is one more person. You and I understand this, and so do Gao Yingtu and the others."
Hearing this, Bao Dingheng's pupils shrank slightly.
Fang He was selfish. Although Priest Gao and the others might not do so, he would rather think so. In the mortal world, wealth moved people's hearts. How could cultivators be willing to share such an item that was hard to find in a thousand years with others? It would be best if they could enjoy it alone. Even if they could not, it would be better if there was one less person who could share it.
Bao Dingheng also knew the reason behind this, but he still hesitated.
Seeing that he was still silent, Fang He stomped his feet and said, "Senior Brother, if you don't make a decision, you will only get yourself into trouble! If we wait for them to make a move first, I'm afraid it will be too late. "
Bao Dingheng's heart palpitated, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He slowly nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as Junior Brother says. It's just that if the two of us make a move rashly, I'm afraid that Li Yuanba and Martial Nephew Ke will be suspicious and won't stand on our side. You also saw just now, that Li Yuanba's cultivation is profound, not inferior to mine."
However, Fang He smiled strangely and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I have a plan that can help Senior Brother out of trouble."
Bao Dingheng looked at him in surprise and said, "Oh? Junior Brother, please speak. "
Fang He chuckled and said, "Didn't Senior Brother say earlier that you want to give the medicinal herb of the highest quality to that Li Yuanba? In Junior Brother's opinion, after obtaining this medicinal herb, there's no harm in giving it to him first. "
"Hmm?"
Bao Dingheng was a little puzzled at first, but a moment later, he realized something. The hand that was stroking his beard suddenly paused, and he glanced at Fang He and said, "Junior Brother, good plan."
To be honest, he did not have a deep relationship with Zhang Yan. At most, only Ke Xiujun was closer to him, and she was a wandering cultivator with no background. Priest Gao and the others were also clear about this, or else they would not have pushed Zhang Yan out to capture the medicinal herb earlier. It was precisely because he had nothing to do with the two that they were at ease, not afraid that he would directly escape after taking the medicinal herb.
Therefore, if the medicinal herb was given to Zhang Yan, as long as Priest Gao and the others had a suitable opportunity, they would most likely make a move to snatch it.
It was as if Fang He had thrown out a bait to trigger the two sides to fight. Then, they would be able to sit back and reap the benefits.
However, at this moment, Bao Dingheng felt vigilant for no reason. He had never imagined that this seemingly innocent and shallow junior brother could actually come up with such an idea.
However, his expression did not change as he said, "This matter needs to be carefully planned."
Fang He proudly said, "Don't worry, Shixiong. I've already thought it through." He moved closer and whispered something in Bao Dingheng's ear.
After Bao Dingheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Gao Yingtu and the other three aren't easy to fool. How could he be fooled so easily? "
Fang He laughed sinisterly and said, "Senior Martial Brother, haven't you heard of the phrase 'blinded by greed'? With such a good thing in front of him. We have given them such a good opportunity, how could they not seize it? As long as one of them is interested, they will have no choice but to act. "
Bao Dingheng thought about it. He said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's do it that way. Leave quickly. I'm going to make a move as well, lest they suspect anything."
Fang He responded and flashed away. Then, he disappeared into the forest.
Bao Dingheng thought to himself, Martial Nephew Ke. For the sake of this spiritual item, I'm afraid I'll have to let you down.
Although he and Ke Xiujun's mother had once been of the same sect. But in front of this precious ganoderma, what was it?
Besides, as long as he did it cleanly, who would know that he was the one who did it?
As he thought of this, he made up his mind. He slowly raised his gaze and focused on the green pine on which the ganoderma boy was sitting. With a thought, a beam of White Tiger Pure Fiend Profound Light flew out from his head and turned into a sword rainbow. In the blink of an eye, it traversed a distance of several dozen zhang and sank into the bottom of the tree, cutting off its roots.
This commotion naturally alarmed the little boy. His face paled, and with a cry, he burrowed into the giant tree, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The onlookers at the side panicked and scurried out of their hiding places. Bao Dingheng was knowledgeable. He first leapt forward and then shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. This ganoderma is only using the wood to hide itself. After entering the belly of the tree, I have already cut off the roots and used the metal qi to block the qi channels. It can't escape."
Hearing this, everyone settled down Just Now.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from somewhere. The crown of the tree swayed, and a few branches broke off. Bao Dingheng smiled and said, "Petty tricks. Do you think I can't see through it?"
With a shake of his shoulder, a few sword qi flew out from the top of his head. Just as the branches and leaves were about to be shredded, a scream came from one of the broken branches. A figure flew out and was about to scurry up another tree not far away.
Zhang Yan had already been instructed by Sir Shi to hide near this big tree and didn't come out just now. Now that he saw the little boy walking into the trap, he was also impressed. He shouted and leapt forward. With a stretch of his arm, he easily caught the little boy in his hand.
After landing, he held the ganoderma in front of his eyes. He saw that the little boy was only the size of a palm. At this moment, his face was filled with terror. His two white lotus-like hands were wiping away his tears, and his mouth was making sobbing sounds.
Bao Dingheng laughed loudly and walked over. His eyes flickered as he said, "Fellow Daoist Li, earlier I said that if we obtain a superior ganoderma, Fellow Daoist can choose it. Now that this item is in Fellow Daoist's hands, I'll give it to you."
When the person behind Daoist Gao heard this, he immediately became anxious. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Daoist Gao. Daoist Gao gave him a look and shook his head slightly.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. He immediately felt that something was wrong.
Such a transformed ganoderma was hard to come by in a thousand years. He didn't believe that Bao Dingheng didn't want to keep it. Even if he wanted to give it to him, under normal circumstances, he should have discussed it with everyone. After all, the other party had only made a verbal agreement with him. It couldn't be taken seriously.
Taking a step back, even if he was sincere, there was no need to be in such a hurry. Now, it seemed like he couldn't wait to give it to him. It was a bit too deliberate.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He glanced at Daoist Gao and the others without batting an eyelid. He immediately guessed most of their intentions. He snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Alright, since Daoist Bao has decided, I'll accept it."
Fang He saw that he took it so readily and sneered to himself, "Junior, I'm afraid that you'll have the life to take the treasure today, but not the life to enjoy it."
