A hundred kilometers to the north of Yu Clan's town.
Amidst the dense foliage of the forest, the afternoon sun could only sparsely shine in.
The forest was hot and humid. Yu Yuan left Wei Feng to Ning Ji and asked him to look after her, while he focused on his cultivation.
As the sectmaster of Dark Moon City, Yuan Lianyao knew that there were remnants of the Black Fiend Army in the vicinity, but she was also worried that the Frigid Dark Sect and the lightning element sect would play tricks on her, so she left early and returned to the city to make arrangements.
Before leaving, she left behind a communication chimney, which she told her to shoot into the sky if Yu Yuan was in danger.
She also said that as long as there were guards of Dark Moon City in the vicinity, they would rush over at the first possible moment.
She would also be able to get news through the guards of Dark Moon City.
From Yu Yuan's point of view, with Yu Zhu keeping an eye on Liu Wei, Lei Xiao, and the others, there shouldn't be any problem for him to move around. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the communication chimney.
"Senior Ning."
Bai Shenshen stood off to the side and said to Ning Ji, who was responsible for looking after Wei Feng, "Are you familiar with Yu Clan's town?"
Ning Ji, who had just woken up from his meditation, first took a look at Wei Feng. When he saw that Wei Feng was leaning against a tree with her hands bound and a gag stuffed in her mouth, looking up at the sky in boredom, he relaxed.
He smiled at Bai Shenshen and said, "I've been in Yu Clan's town for a while, and I've walked around in the vicinity, so I guess I'm familiar with it. Why do you ask, Miss Bai? "
"Have you explored the northern region of Yu Clan's town?" Bai Shenshen asked.
Ning Ji thought for a moment, and then nodded. "I came to the north a few months ago when I returned to Yu Town."
"Did you notice some man-made medicinal plants?" Bai Shenshen asked.
Ning Ji shook his head. "No."
Bai Shenshen was taken aback. After determining the direction, she pointed in a certain direction and said, "There's an island in the middle of a lake several dozen kilometers over there. Have you seen it, Senior Ning?"
"Yes," Ning Ji answered affirmatively. Then, he asked, "Why?"
"Is there anything on the island?"
"There's nothing there." Ning Ji pondered for a moment before answering, "I passed by about two months ago, but didn't see anything. The island in the middle of the lake was also bare. "
"Two months ago, I didn't …"
Bai Shenshen muttered in a low voice. Then, she asked, "Are there any alchemists in the vicinity of Dark Moon City? Or is there anyone who knows how to grow medicinal herbs? "
"As far as I know, the Yuan Family and the Zhao Family didn't secretly recruit alchemists. Only the Yu Clan knows how to grow medicinal plants. "Ning Ji grew more and more confused." But you should know a thing or two about the Yu Clan's current situation. Many of the Yu Clan's medicinal gardens have become barren, and many of the Yu Clan's people have become discouraged. "
Bai Shenshen nodded and said no more.
On the way here, she had a general understanding of the Yu Family's situation through some forces that were on good terms with the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
There were also many people in the Su Family who maintained close ties with the Heavenly Medicine Sect. She had heard of the many methods that the Lin and Fan Families of the Silver Moon Empire had used to deal with the Yu Family.
If the herbs couldn't be sold and couldn't be stored for a long time, they would soon wither and die.
Since the Yu Clan couldn't exchange those herbs for spirit stones from the Su Family, it was only natural that they would slack off and stop growing medicinal plants.
If it wasn't the Yu Clan, then who could it be that was growing rare plants in that area?
Bai Shenshen tried to find the answer.
… …
Another sparkling and translucent spirit stone quickly turned grayish-brown and shattered.
Yu Yuan woke up from a long period of cultivation as he stared at the shattered stones on the ground. He was filled with both joy and sorrow.
He was happy because his cultivation talent must be extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fill his Golden Hall Microcosm with spirit energy even after he had entered the Golden Hall Realm.
But he was sad because this meant that his cultivation was bound to slow down, and he had used up all of his spirit stones.
After pondering for a few seconds, he stood up and walked straight toward Bai Shenshen.
On the other side, Wei Feng, who was looking up at the sky, immediately grew nervous when she saw Qin Lie walking toward her. She suddenly looked at him, her cold eyes filled with deep wariness.
Ignoring her, Yu Yuan casually tossed a palm-sized, sparkling and translucent spirit crystal to Bai Shenshen's feet.
A ray of sunlight just happened to shine down and descend onto the spirit crystal.
Under the scorching sunlight, the spirit crystal flowed with colorful lights, and its interior seemed to be interweaved with countless gorgeous lights. It was dazzling to the point one's eyes were dazzled, and they felt that the crystal was indescribably gorgeous and miraculous.
"A spirit crystal!"
Old cultivators like Ning Ji were suddenly shocked, and they looked at the crystal with too much for their eyes to take in.
Wei Feng was surprised as well.
Yu Yuan looked at Bai Shenshen and said, "With my current cultivation base at the Golden Hall Realm, it's actually very difficult for me to absorb the spirit energy contained within spirit crystals. All alchemists are wealthy and have a lot of treasures in their possession. Big Sister Bai, I'll use this spirit crystal to exchange for some spirit stones or spirit jades from you. "
A spirit crystal of the same size could be exchanged for ten spirit jades of the same size and a hundred spirit stones of the same size.
This was because the spirit energy contained within a spirit crystal was ten times more than a spirit jade of the same size and a hundred times more than a spirit stone of the same size.
Because spirit crystals were rare, and spirit crystals were a necessity for high level cultivators, most of the time, the exchange rate would be higher.
For example, eleven spirit jades could be exchanged for one spirit crystal, and a hundred spirit stones could be exchanged for one spirit crystal.
That was the general idea.
On the Tianyuan Continent and the Tranquil Continent, the powerful sects and forces all had their own pavilions and assessment tools to conduct such exchanges.
This was the Qianxuan Continent, and there were many spirit mines. The spirit stones and spirit jades produced weren't rare, but spirit crystals were really rare.
Therefore, on this continent, a spirit crystal could be exchanged for even more spirit jades and spirit stones.
"With your cultivation at the Golden Hall Realm, spirit crystals are indeed a waste. Do you want spirit jades or spirit stones?" Bai Shenshen asked.
"Spirit jades are the best," Yu Yuan said with a smile.
Bai Shenshen was stunned for a moment. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright." Bai Shenshen didn't beat around the bush. She took out spirit jades from the pouch at her waist, counted them, and gave him a total of twelve spirit jades. "This should be enough, right?"
Her spirit jades were of different sizes. In her judgment, the spirit energy contained within twelve spirit jades was equal to that of a spirit crystal.
"Thanks." Yu Yuan smiled and looked at the pouch at her waist. "This pouch of holding isn't bad. It should be able to hold a lot of things."
Bai Shenshen subconsciously covered the pouch with her hand and looked at him warily.
Even Wei Feng, who was next to her, revealed an envious gaze when she saw the cloth bag at her waist.
The reason why she wanted to get rid of Bai Shenshen as soon as she saw her wasn't because of her identity as a member of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, but because of the pouch at her waist.
She recognized it as an extraordinarily precious pouch of holding.
Even Ning Ji's eyes lit up when he heard Yu Yuan mention the pouch of holding and saw how nervous Bai Shenshen was.
He had thought that it was just an ordinary pouch. He didn't expect it to be a pouch of holding.
"Miss Bai, you're really rich." Ning Ji sighed. "But you're too careless. Your cultivation is low, and you don't even know how to hide the treasure in your pouch of holding."
"Normal people can't see through me," Bai Shenshen explained.
Pouches of holding were the lowest grade of items that contained small spaces. They could only hold a limited amount of things, but they were still rare and priceless on the Qianxuan Continent.
Mustard Seed Bracelets were of a higher grade than pouches of holding. They had more space and could hold more things. Only important people on the Tranquil Continent and Tianyuan Continent could wear them.
The top-grade ones were called Universe Rings. They were the standard equipment of all grand cultivators and a symbol of their status.
Bai Shenshen was only in the Subtle realm, but she had a pouch of holding. This meant that she had a high status in the Heavenly Medicine Sect and was probably very rich.
"Haha, you thought that you wouldn't run into anyone in the wilderness, so you didn't care." Yu Yuan smiled brightly and pointed at Wei Feng. "Let me tell you, you were almost killed. It might have something to do with your pouch of holding."
"This pouch of holding is my most valuable item. Don't get any ideas." Bai Shenshen saw that he recognized it and said, "If you want to buy it, I can help you find a buyer."
"I'll have one sooner or later," Yu Yuan said.
He picked up the Spirit Jade and played with it in his hand. Suddenly, he looked at Wei Feng and said, "Elder Ning, Big Sister Bai, please go somewhere else. I have something to ask her."
Ning Ji and Bai Shenshen tactfully left.
Once they were far away, Yu Yuan hesitated for a moment before taking the cloth from her mouth and looking at her.
Without Yuan Lianyao's restriction, Wei Feng, who had recovered some of her strength, could have killed herself if she had been more decisive.
But she didn't do so.
Ever since Yu Yuan recognized the iron token's origin and described its owner's characteristics, she had been thinking about how Yu Yuan knew what the iron token's owner looked like.
Because she couldn't get an answer, she hesitated.
"What's wrong? You're not in a hurry to die? "Yu Yuan asked indifferently.
He had long known that by saying those words about the iron medallion's owner, as long as Wei Feng was given time, this woman of unknown origin would definitely not die in a hurry.
It was because of this that he dared to talk to Wei Feng without making any arrangements after Yuan Lianyao left.
He also believed that Wei Feng, who had calmed down and thought carefully, would have many questions and questions.
"Is that person in Voodoo?" he suddenly asked.
"No, he was expelled by Voodoo a long time ago," Wei Feng said quietly.
Hearing this, Yu Yuan's face sank. "Why did you expel him?"
"The master he served was no longer the sect master of the Medicine God Sect. He died three hundred years ago." Wei Feng lowered her head and explained, "Without a master, how could Voodoo continue to take care of him? He could only find another way out. But after Zhong Chichen took over the Medicine God Sect, where else could he go? "
