In Dark Moon City in the Silver Moon Empire.
After the Huang Clan's decline, the Yu Clan, which had once been glorious, had once again declined.
It was no longer a secret that Yu Yuan had died in the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land's trial.
At first, Zhao Yafu and Su Yan had said that Yu Yuan hadn't died, and that he was merely cultivating in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land. However, as more and more time passed without any news about Yu Yuan, they began to suspect him.
Yu Yuan had offended many grand cultivators of the Silver Moon Empire in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land, and thus had left a bad impression on them.
In particular, Lin Fengyan, the head of the Lin Family, was said by the cultivators of the Silver Moon Empire to have died because of Yu Yuan.
Some people had also spread rumors that Yu Yuan had something to do with Fan Li's death.
Both the Lin Clan and the Fan Clan were among the five most powerful clans in the empire.
These two clans, along with other clans, had deliberately suppressed the Yu Clan, making their situation worse and worse.
Those who had been close to Yu Yuan, such as Su Yan, Li Yu, and Zhan Tianxiang, were either in secluded cultivation at critical junctures in their cultivation, or were too young to change their clans' decisions.
As a result, the Yu Clan didn't receive much outside support.
Later, it was confirmed that Lin Zhuyun, who had mysteriously disappeared in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land, had been taken away by powerful experts of the Frigid Yin Sect, and had officially become a core disciple of the Frigid Yin Sect on the Tianyuan Continent.
No one knew what had happened to Lin Zhuyun. According to the news from the Tianyuan Continent, she had been cultivating diligently after entering the Frigid Yin Sect. Her extraordinary talent had been revealed, and she had been highly valued.
Because of this, the Lin Clan's influence in the Silver Moon Empire had risen again.
Cultivators of the Frigid Yin Sect had even visited the Lin Clan several times to publicly support Lin Hanyu, and had even brought rare medicinal pills and spiritual materials.
After Lin Fengyan's death, Lin Hanyu, who had taken over as the clanmaster due to his low cultivation base, had made rapid progress in his cultivation.
Meanwhile, Lin Hanyu, who had been humiliated in the Yu Clan's grand hall in Dark Moon City, had learned that Yu Yuan had played a major role in his brother's death. Therefore, he had made things difficult for the Yu Clan.
It had been a long time since the Yu Clan had been able to find a buyer for the various spiritual herbs and plants they grew.
The reason why the Yu Clan was still able to gain a foothold in Dark Moon City was because of the batch of Origin Spirit Pills that Yu Yuan had refined back when he was still alive. He had obtained a lot of spirit stones from the Yuan and Zhao Clans.
However, after Yu Yuan left, the Yu Family could no longer refine Origin Spirit Pills. After several rounds of consumption, they were on the verge of running out of supplies.
On this day, in the Spirit Treasure House of the Zhao Family.
The chubby Zhao Zhenghao placed a bag of spirit stones on the stone table in the backyard and said to Yu Hu, "Here are three thousand spirit stones. I'll lend them to your clan for the time being. You don't need the promissory note. Just return it when you have it."
Yu Hu seemed to be a bit nervous. Looking at the large bag of energy stones on the table, he said, "I'm so sorry."
Many of the clansmen were stuck at critical bottlenecks in their cultivation, and needed spirit stones to make breakthroughs.
She, Yu Feifei, and many other Yu Clan members relied on spirit stones.
As for the money earned from the sale of the Origin Spirit Pills, it had already been used up.
The reason why she was here was because Zhao Yafu had found her before she went into secluded cultivation. She had told her to go to her father, Zhao Zhenghao, if she ran into any trouble.
After returning to the Zhao Clan, Zhao Yafu's cultivation base and battle prowess had improved by leaps and bounds.
She had given all the credit to Yu Yuan, saying that Yu Yuan had saved her and helped her on several occasions.
Zhao Zhenghao had also given the Yu Clan some help, both openly and secretly, for the sake of their old friendship.
However...
"I should be the one who's sorry." Zhao Zhenghao straightened his back slightly and said, "I'm very sorry. Our clan isn't the most powerful clan in Dark Moon City. We have to consider the bigger picture and our clansmen, so we have no choice but to do many things. "
Yu Hu had said that he hoped to trade the spiritual herbs his clan grew for spirit stones from the Zhao Clan.
However, the Lin Clan, the Fan Clan, and some other clans that were dissatisfied with the Yu Clan had long since spread word that no clan was allowed to purchase the Yu Clan's spiritual herbs in private.
The current patriarch of the Su Clan, Su Yan's father, and Su Yan, were not in the Silvermoon Empire.
There were rumors that Su Xiangtian had secretly taken Su Yan to the Tianyuan Continent and the Tranquil Continent to send her to some sect or force to cultivate.
After Su Xiangtian and his daughter left, many people in the Su Clan had intentionally or unintentionally targeted the Yu Clan.
The Yu Clan's situation was even worse.
Under the pressure of several parties, even if the Zhao Clan bought the spiritual herbs from the Yu Clan, they couldn't find another buyer to sell them to.
The spiritual energy of the spiritual herbs had dissipated over a long period of time, and they were nothing more than waste.
Since they bought them, they couldn't distribute them, and they didn't have any alchemists, so why should they offend others?
Therefore, Zhao Zhenghao tactfully refused Yu Hu's proposal, unwilling to buy the spiritual herbs from the Yu Clan. However, because of Yu Yuan's kindness, he lent Yu Hu spirit stones instead.
What he borrowed had to be returned. If he couldn't find a buyer for those spiritual herbs, they would wither one after another.
Yu Hu looked at the big bag of spirit stones, frowning.
The clan members were temporarily satisfied with this bag of spirit stones, but what about next time?
Would he have the face to come again next time?
In the Yuan Clan, Yuan Lianyao had also been in seclusion for a long time. Although she had told the clan members to treat the Yu Clan well, the Yu Clan couldn't find a buyer for their spiritual herbs. If they couldn't solve the fundamental problem, there would be trouble eventually.
…
Outside the city, in the Yu Clan Town.
This place belonged to the Yu Clan, and the Yu Clan's medicinal gardens were scattered around the town.
Currently, many of the spiritual herbs in the gardens weren't growing well.
Some of the gardens were simply barren, and no new spiritual herbs were planted.
Some herb slaves sat in the sun during the day, ignoring the life and death of the spiritual herbs. When they chatted, they would say something disheartening.
For example …
Since the spiritual herbs would wither in the end, why waste time?
Since no one dared to buy the Yu Clan's spiritual herbs, they might as well ignore them and let the gardens be barren.
Soon, the Yu Clan will lose its foothold in Dark Moon City. We should make plans to go to other cities and seek a living with other clans related to the Su Clan.
Most of the herb slaves were from Yu Clan's town and the surrounding towns. They didn't have a sense of belonging to the Yu Clan.
Their duty was only to look after the gardens. As the Yu Clan members didn't attach so much importance to the gardens, they naturally didn't care about them either.
"Many of them are barren."
A voice suddenly rang out in the middle of the gardens.
The herb slaves, who were lying in the sun, glanced sideways and continued to chat, as if they hadn't heard anything.
Yu Yuan stood there and looked around. He knew that what he saw represented the Yu Clan's fundamental medicinal gardens, and couldn't bring the clan any profit.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
Beside him was a dark and skinny little girl. The strange joints on her back were all gone, and the black dress she was wearing also covered the carapace on her chest. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, it was impossible to see any clues.
She imitated Yu Yuan and looked around. Her nose twitched, as if she was bored.
"Of course it's not interesting now." Yu Yuan smiled. "Give me some time, and it'll be a different story. The reason I came back this time is to make sure that the Yu Clan can develop steadily after losing me. That way, I won't owe the Yu Clan anything, and can leave with a clear conscience. "
