The little guy plucked the level nine Heaven Piercing Grass and used his fingers to poke at the bamboo-like slender stem and leaves. He smiled. "Just as that person said, it's a rare treasure."
His large eyes darted around. "Oh, I have to leave quickly. Otherwise, that person will come back."
With that, the little guy slipped out of the house and disappeared into the crowd on the street.
Lin Feng looked at his back speechlessly. Seeing Miao Shihao look over, he coughed. "Ahem, I've made a fool of myself."
Miao Shihao smiled. "You're too kind. I like this little guy a lot."
Lin Feng laughed dryly. My dear disciple, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you to be admired by such a sissy.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng was busy dealing with Miao Shihao when he suddenly thought of something. He looked into the distance. There, a group of people was walking towards the house. Looking at the posture of the person leading the way, it was obvious that the owner of the house had returned.
This person was dressed in green with a blue silk sash around his waist. A long sword hung from it. Above his head was a pillar of sword light that reached the sky. It was as if a heavenly gate had been opened and spiritual energy from the heavenly realm was being drawn to the mortal world.
Such characteristics were the characteristics of the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Moreover, he was a Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator who had formed the Golden Elixir.
Behind him were more than ten people dressed in different clothes. Their cultivations varied, but most of them were like unsheathed swords, full of killing intent.
Among them, there were four elders whose auras were condensed. They were like sharp swords in their scabbards. When needed, they would explode. They were much more terrifying than those who exposed their auras.
Their auras were always exposed. In fact, their essence energy was scattered. It was easily eroded by the wind and rain of the outside world. One day, it would lose its sharpness and decay.
And these four elders were all cultivators of the Golden Elixir period. They could already lock their magic power and sword qi. Only in battle would they explode with dazzling brilliance.
Usually, they hid their auras. When they were truly unsheathed, their sword intent and killing intent were even fiercer.
All of these people had one thing in common. They were equipped with long swords. Regardless of whether they were hung at their waists or carried on their backs, their long swords all looked exactly the same, as if they were produced on an assembly line.
The scabbard was engraved with a simple and heavy engraving of mountains and rivers, which was the symbol of the Mount Shu Sword Sect.
These sword cultivators were all Shushan cultivators.
The Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator led the way and smiled. "I've moved the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass into the secret chamber. It will take some time for it to fully mature. Seniors, please stay in my humble abode for a few days."
"The conclave is over. The spiritual herb should be fully grown by now."
The leader of the four old men from Mount Shu Sword Sect stroked his long beard and nodded in satisfaction. "Fellow Daoist Fu Shuo, thank you for your hard work."
The Heavenly Sword Cultivator named Fu Shuo laughed. "I'm going to join Shushan, so I can't possibly come empty-handed. But when the time comes, I hope that Elder True White will put in a good word for me."
His words were too blunt, and the Shushan sword cultivators all curled their lips.
But they were still very satisfied. After all, they had obtained the most precious spiritual herb of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was a considerable gain.
The four Golden Elixir Period elders looked at each other, satisfied smiles on their faces.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect's strength has soared in recent years, and their actions have become more and more unbridled. They even tried to challenge our position as the number one holy land of the sword. It's time to take them down a notch, and let them know that the might of Shushan is not to be trifled with." Elder True White stroked his long beard, thinking, "Without the advantage of the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass and the Heavenly Reaching Pill, the Heavenly Sword Sect will not be able to make any big waves."
The Shushan Sword Sect had also coveted the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass for a long time. They had plotted in secret, and were just short of openly asking for it.
The Heavenly Sword Sect had naturally guarded against it. Even if there had been people who had defected to Shushan, no one had been able to bring a single leaf of the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass out of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But this time, Fu Shuo had successfully brought out an entire stalk of Heaven Reaching Grass. Although it was only a seedling, it had attracted the attention of Shushan.
Thinking of this, Elder True White decided to speak frankly. "You can rest assured. I will put in a good word for you in front of the old ancestor. This matter involves the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass. Even the Sect Leader might make an exception to meet you."
Hearing this, Fu Shuo's face lit up, but he managed to keep his composure. He nodded, smiling as he gestured with his hand. "Four elders, please. I will bring you to see the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass...."
Halfway through his words, Fu Shuo suddenly froze. He sensed carefully, and his back broke out in a cold sweat.
He had already sensed that the Heaven Treading Stairway sword formation that he had set up in his house for protection had been broken.
"Calm down, calm down!" Fu Shuo bit his tongue, forcing himself to calm down. Although he was burning with anxiety, he did not show it in front of the Shushan Sword Sect cultivators.
He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps the other party had not discovered the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass he had hidden in the secret room.
In fact, apart from the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass, Fu Shuo had also left other talismans, spiritual medicines, and other treasures in the house.
Fu Shuo was now begging heaven and earth, hoping that the other party had only taken away the other things in the house. It did not matter if these things were lost, but the key was that the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass must not be lost.
In particular, this spiritual grass still needed a few days to mature. If it was pulled out now, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
"Everyone, please follow me." Fu Shuo felt uneasy in his heart, but he still looked calm on the surface. He took the lead with great bearing and led everyone into the house.
However, the nervous Mr Fu Shuo did not notice that he was actually walking with a limp.
After entering the main house of the big house, they went straight to the secret room. As soon as he opened the door, Fu Shuo's vision darkened, and he almost fainted.
In the empty secret room, there was a big pit on the ground. The Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass had disappeared. It had been dug out by someone, including the stem and leaves!
Elder Real White and the other Shushan sword cultivators who came in behind Fu Shuo saw this scene, and their faces all darkened.
Elder Real White frowned and asked, "Fellow cultivator Fu Shuo, what's going on?"
"Some goddamn bastard dug out the spiritual grass by the roots while I was away!" At this moment, Fu Shuo's face was ferocious, and his whole body was in a state of frenzy. The sword qi all over his body surged uncontrollably, forcing several Shushan sword cultivators in the Building Foundation Stage with lower cultivation to retreat.
Although he had a vague premonition, Fu Shuo was still hysterical at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could not wait to skin the person who had stolen the spiritual grass.
He had defected from the Heavenly Sword Sect and joined Shushan. For the Heavenly Sword Sect, he had already committed a crime punishable by death. Originally, his sect would definitely want to kill him. If he wanted to live, he could only rely on the protection of the Shushan Sword Sect.
But if he lost the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass as a stepping stone for his advancement, the Shushan Sword Sect might not spare no effort to protect him.
Although Shushan and the Heavenly Sword Sect were always dirty in private, they were still members of the Nine Heavens Sword Union in name, and the Shushan Sword Sect was the leader of the union. No matter what, it could not be justified to shelter a defected disciple of an allied sect.
Only the Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass could make the Shushan Sword Sect spare no effort to protect him.
Now that the Heaven Reaching Grass was gone, the shadow of death suddenly floated over Fu Shuo's heart, making him almost unable to breathe.
"The spiritual qi in the soil has not dissipated completely. The person who stole the spiritual grass must not have gone far. After him! We still have a chance to get it back! "
Fu Shuo roared angrily. He did not even have time to call out to Elder Real White and the others. His whole body turned into a sword light and soared into the sky, directly piercing through the secret room and the roof of the mansion.
Elder Real White and the other Shushan sword cultivators looked at each other and nodded. Fu Shuo had already committed suicide in the Heavenly Sword Sect. If he dared to play tricks on Shushan again, no one in the world could protect him.
"Looks like someone really took advantage of the loophole and stole the spiritual grass." Elder Real White said in a deep voice, "The Level Nine Heaven Reaching Grass is very important. We must also chase after it. We must find the spiritual grass. This spiritual grass is already the property of our Shushan. The person who stole it must pay the price in blood!"
More than ten sword lights soared into the sky and chased after Fu Shuo.
The little guy walked on the street and was happily calculating, "En, I can bring it back to master. However, there are a total of eight sections. Should I eat one first?"
As he was thinking, the little guy suddenly felt a threatening killing intent behind him. He looked back and saw a green sword light that seemed to pierce through the sky. It cut through the clouds and flew towards him.
A middle-aged man in a green robe stood on the sword light. It was Fu Shuo. With a sweep of his magic power, he discovered the spiritual grass on the little guy's body. He immediately scolded, "Little bastard, put the spiritual grass down!"
The little guy stuck out his tongue and stepped on wind and thunder. His speed instantly increased and disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Fu Shuo was seething with anger and roared, "Heaven Reaching Sword Escape!"
His entire body soared into the sky and combined with his own sword light in midair. Using his body to control the sword, he transformed into an extremely bright green light and pierced down from the sky!
Fu Shuo's Heaven Reaching Sword Escape was extremely fast like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to the little guy.
The little guy turned his head to look at the sword light and said with dissatisfaction, "You are so unreasonable. Spiritual grass is meant to be eaten. You are too stingy!"
These bold and confident words almost choked Fu Shuo to the point of vomiting blood. He was almost separated from the sword light.
"I'll let you eat it!" Fu Shuo's eyes were blood red. He exerted even more strength in his hand. The destructive power of an initial stage Golden Elixir sword cultivator was displayed to the extreme. He wanted to nail the little guy to the ground with one strike.
"You dare to steal my spiritual grass. Even dying ten thousand times is not enough!"
The little guy heard this and laughed. He flipped his small palm and revealed a golden disc.
The golden plate shone brightly, and suddenly, a ferocious tiger with a platinum glow darted out from it. It let out an earth-shaking roar, and countless strong gusts of wind, which were as sharp as steel blades, cut Fu Shuo's sword light into pieces.
The platinum tiger's bell-like eyes looked at Fu Shuo. Its powerful aura made his whole body weak.
"Golden Elixir peak?!" Fu Shuo's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
The huge tiger swung its huge claws as if it was swatting a fly. It directly sent Fu Shuo, who was one with the sword, flying!
