Chapter 485 Goal Achieved
Xu Ruhui frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy. He said in a slightly tough tone: "Why, you won't even give me a small second-level spiritual medicine? You are too stingy as a businessman, aren't you?"
Ye Changsheng pretended to be aggrieved and explained: "Senior, you misunderstood. Although this purple water chestnut is a second-level spiritual medicine, it is of excellent quality. I plan to keep it for my own use."
Xu Ruhui's eyes stayed on the fourth-level spiritual medicine purple pagoda for a moment, and a trace of unnoticeable greed flashed in his eyes.
He has already determined in his heart that this "purple water chestnut" is definitely not an ordinary product. It is likely to be a mutant spiritual medicine, and its value is far beyond that of ordinary second-level spiritual medicines.
He pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "Forget it, it seems that I met a stingy person today. How about this, I want all your third-level spiritual medicines, and you give me all the remaining second-level spiritual medicines, including the 'purple water chestnut', how about it?"
Ye Changsheng was delighted, knowing that the fish had been hooked.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be hesitant, as if he was making a difficult decision.
The two of them hesitated for a while, and Ye Changsheng still refused to lower the price. He only reluctantly agreed to give all the second-level spiritual medicines, including the purple pagoda, to Xu Ruhui.
In the end, Xu Ruhui looked like he had suffered a great loss, paid Ye Changsheng a sum of spiritual stones, and put all the spiritual medicines into the storage bag, including the fifth-level demon hatred grass that was very similar to the second-level Qingling grass.
Looking at Xu Ruhui's slightly hasty figure leaving, Ye Changsheng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He knew that the first step of the plan had been successful. Next, it was to wait for the opportunity to see where this "fish" would swim.
Ye Changsheng quickly packed up the stall, blended into the crowd and left quietly.
He did not rush back to the Ye family residence, but followed Xu Ruhui from a distance, using the shielding effect of the Tianji Jade to carefully track his whereabouts.
He knew that after Xu Ruhui got this unexpected fourth-level spiritual medicine "Purple Pagoda", he would definitely be eager to return to Tianling Sect and carefully study the secrets of this spiritual medicine.
And this is exactly what Ye Changsheng wanted to see.
The night was as dark as ink, without stars or moon, shrouding the entire free market in a deep silence.
Ye Changsheng hid in the dark corner, like a lurking cheetah, his eyes always locked on the direction where Xu Ruhui left.
There was a hint of excitement on his face that was not easily noticed. The first step of the plan was successfully completed. Next, it depends on how this "big fish" is caught.
Xu Ruhui was obviously quite satisfied with this harvest. His steps were a little hurried, and even with a hint of unnoticeable joy.
He couldn't wait to return to the Tianling Sect's residence to study the fourth-level spiritual medicine "Purple Water Chestnut" that he regarded as an unexpected surprise.
He didn't realize at all that he had been stared at by an eye hidden in the dark.
Ye Changsheng always kept a safe distance from Xu Ruhui by relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the free market and the powerful concealment effect of the Tianji Jade.
He shuttled among the crowd like a ghost, cleverly avoiding the attention of other cultivators.
He silently calculated the time in his heart, waiting for the best opportunity.
About an hour later, Xu Ruhui's figure disappeared at the entrance of the temporary residence of the Tianling Sect.
This is an area covered by formations, which is difficult for outsiders to spy on.
Ye Changsheng did not approach rashly, but chose a commanding height with a wide view and observed silently.
Confirming that Xu Ruhui had entered the depths of the residence, Ye Changsheng took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely solemn.
He slowly raised his hands, his fingertips flashed with spiritual light, and began to pinch the complex hand gestures according to the secret method taught by the Tiangong seller.
This set of secret methods is extremely secretive, and there is almost no spiritual power fluctuation when it is performed, which is difficult to detect.
As the last hand gesture was completed, a barely perceptible light flashed between Ye Changsheng's eyebrows.
At the same time, in Xu Ruhui's storage bag far away in the Tianling Sect's residence, the fifth-level demon hatred grass that he had carefully collected began to change quietly.
An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible strange breath slowly dissipated from the leaves of the demon hatred grass.
This breath was colorless and tasteless, like the softest breeze, quietly blending into the surrounding air.
It did not cause any spiritual power fluctuations, nor did it have any strange phenomena, as if it had never existed.
However, this seemingly harmless breath contained extremely terrifying power.
It was the core essence of the demon hatred grass, which could spread silently and make it produce a strong hatred from the depths of its blood for the breath of the demon beast.
This breath spread at a slow and steady speed, like an invisible tide, gradually spreading.
It penetrated the barrier of the storage bag and merged into the room where Xu Ruhui was, and then quietly penetrated outside the room and spread to the entire temporary residence of the Tianling Sect.
The monks in the garrison, whether they were practicing or resting, all inhaled this strange breath without noticing.
The breath of the demon hatred grass was like an invisible net, quietly covering the entire Tianling Sect's garrison.
More than 3,000 Tianling Sect monks were gradually eroded by this breath, like frogs being boiled in warm water.
Ye Changsheng silently stared at the direction of the Tianling Sect's garrison from a high place, with no expression on his face and a terrifyingly calm look.
He knew that once the breath of the demon hatred grass spread completely, the Tianling Sect would face an unprecedented crisis.
After completing the secret method, Ye Changsheng turned around and left without stopping.
He skillfully avoided the patrolling monks, as if blending into the night, and disappeared without a trace.
Before leaving, he took out a pill with a faint medicinal fragrance from his arms and swallowed it without hesitation.
This is the antidote for the demon hatred grass, which can effectively resist the erosion of the breath of the demon hatred grass.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight pierced the darkness and brought a ray of light to the earth. The atmosphere in the headquarters of the Dayuan Xiuxian Alliance seemed a little solemn.
After days of investigation, they have mastered the intelligence that the demon beasts are about to launch a new round of large-scale attacks.
The top leaders of the alliance held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
According to the intelligence detected, this time the offensive of the demon beasts will be more fierce than before, and the number and strength of the demon beasts will be greatly increased.
In order to deal with the upcoming crisis, the alliance decided to mobilize all parties in advance and prepare for the battle.
Orders were issued from the alliance headquarters, and messengers carried documents with the alliance seal and went to the headquarters of various sects to convey the alliance's instructions.
Among them, Tianling Sect was naturally included.
