As well as Jiang Jingtao, every single other ancient martial art practitioner was looking for the spiritual stone storeroom.
Mo Wen crossed his arms behind his back and simply smiled without a word. Nobody had expected that he would possess a storage ring. Long before anyone else had come looking, he had already taken all of the spiritual stones. After all, the storage ring was something that was difficult for even an Immortal Cultivator to obtain. It was a rare item for them, and it was even rare for an ancient martial art practitioner to possess one. Hence, nobody had expected that Mo Wen would have such an item.
The entire group of ancient martial art practitioners felt very perplexed. Everything but the spiritual stone storeroom was there Logically speaking, spiritual stones were something that had to be present. Luofeng Sect had been so strong 600 years ago. Hence, it was impossible for them to not even have a single spiritual stone.
There was disappointment in the eyes of some of the ancient martial art practitioners. After all, other than some unique items, the spiritual stones were the most valuable items. Many of the ancient martial art practitioners had rushed over to Luofeng Sect simply for the huge spiritual stone storeroom. In the end, after looking all day, they did not even manage to find a trace of a spiritual stone.
To an ancient martial art practitioner, although a spiritual stone could not be considered as an item for cultivation, it could be used for trade with Huatian Palace. It could be said that as long one had sufficient spiritual stones, one could buy anything from Huatian Palace.
Suddenly, the Sect Leader of Medical Sect, Jiang Pingzhou, turned to look at Mo Wen. His eyes were gleaming particularly brightly as he looked straight into Mo Wen’s eyes. “I am very confused about one thing. Why is it that the first palace hall is completely empty? It is absolutely impossible for Luofeng Sect to construct a palace hall with no purpose at all, right? I wonder if you can explain this phenomenon.”
Prior to that, he had already been curious as to why the palace hall was completely empty, without a single item at all. By right, such a situation was almost impossible. Previously, he had not cared about it too much. But now, his most anticipated spiritual stones were gone. Hence, he could not help but feel suspicious.
If there had been spiritual stones in the palace hall, the disappearance of the spiritual stones must have an explanation. One possibility could be that Mo Wen had used some method to hide all the spiritual stones. Otherwise, something must have happened in the past, meaning that Luofeng Sect had not managed to deposit all their spiritual stones in the storeroom.
After Jiang Pingzhou spoke, the gazes of all the ancient martial art practitioners in the surrounding area were fixed on Mo Wen. They also noticed something very odd. Out of the six palace halls, there were five that had huge amounts of resources. There was only one palace hall that was completely empty.
They had already thought it was mysterious but now that Jiang Pingzhou had clearly pointed it out, everyone finally thought carefully about it. Mo Wen had been the first person to enter. Could it be that the disappearance of the spiritual stones had something to do with him?
“Who are you asking me? Does Sect Leader Jiang really think that I am able to hide all the spiritual stones under everyone’s scrutiny?” Mo Wen rubbed his hands together. He calmly said, “If you really want to think that way, I must admit it. I only have that so space in my body, how many spiritual stones could I actually store?”
He did not believe that the ancient martial art practitioners present at the moment would think of the possibility of a storage ring. After all, there were not many people amongst ancient martial art practitioner that knew of the storage ring. It was very unlikely for anyone to think that deeply.
The surrounding ancient martial art practitioners studied Mo Wen thoroughly. Then, they began to shake their heads. They no longer thought that the disappearance of the spiritual stones was related to Mo Wen. After all, Mo Wen had only entered a moment earlier than them. It was impossible for him to hide all the spiritual stones within such a short period of time. It was even more impossible for him to hide so many of them in his body.
“Jiang Pingzhou, although I do not know why you have such a huge grudge against this youth, as a senior, it is a little too petty of you to be doing so.” Chen Wuhui stepped forward to speak. He wished to scold Jiang Pingzhou for being childish and shameless, as he slandered a junior based on his personal grudges, and tried to create a rift.
Before this time, Chen Wuhui would not have dared to offend Jiang Pingzhou like that. After all, Medical Sect was powerful and Intentionless Sect could not afford to offend them. However, there was already now enmity between Intentionless Sect and Medical Sect. Hence, it was unlikely that Medical Sect would leave them be anyway. Even if they did not stand up to Medical Sect, they would still be targeted.
“Sect Leader Chen, you don’t want to be a respectable Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect, but you’d rather be a pesky person. Since when has it been your place to speak? You are getting more and more daring!” Jiang Pingzhou’s face turned dark as he looked coldly at Chen Wuhui.
If Medical Sect wanted to get back at Intentionless Sect, they had many methods. Any of them would cripple Intentionless Sect really badly. Before all of this, Chen Wuhui would only have been full of praise in the presence of Jiang Pingzhou. He would never have dared to say such things. Could it be that just because of this youth protecting him, he thought that he could step out of the crowd and no longer give due respect to Medical Sect?
“I am only speaking the truth,” Chen Wuhui said calmly. “Justice will prevail and everyone knows that what I am saying is the truth. Moreover, it is my mouth that I am using to talk. It is not your place to manage whatever I say.”
“Stop fighting. It is just spiritual stones. Old man Jiang, as the respectable Sect Leader of Medical Sect, you are truly being a little too petty. Is your Medical Sect lacking in spiritual stones in the first place? Don’t forget that the true treasure of Luofeng Sect is not their spiritual stones. It is something else that is hidden within those palace halls.” Bu Zhangkun exhaled coldly. Although spiritual stones were precious, as the Leader of the Tiger Palace Hall, he was not too bothered about them. As the top sect in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, they naturally did not lack spiritual stones.
His motive for coming here was not to gain spiritual stones, but rather for the renowned treasures of Luofeng Sect. Those treasures were things that not even a huge number of spiritual stones could compare to.
“Old Man Jiang, it is very easy if you want spiritual stones. As long as you sell the Medical Sect’s Vigor Pervading Pill, and if the price is suitable, I’ll pay fully in spiritual stones.” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong smiled. Although she was not as direct as Bu Zhangkun, her words were clearly biased towards Mo Wen as well.
The spiritual stones that Medical Sect had in storage would not be much less than those possessed by Purple Qi Pavilion or Five Beasts Sect. The Vigor Pervading Pill was an original panacea concocted by the Medical Sect. It could greatly increase the chances of an Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner breaking through into the Golden Elixir realm. Moreover, the Vigor Pervading Pill was actually very delicious. It could be consumed as a delicacy.
It was essentially impossible that Jiang Pingzhou would sell their Vigor Pervading Pill just for the spiritual stones. That was because even the Medical Sect needed an average of ten years to concoct a single Vigor Pervading Pill.
Jiang Pingzhou let out a cold humph. His face was dark and he did not say another word. He had not expected that the seniors of Five Beast Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion would both actually speak up for Mo Wen at once. It was impossible for him to continue making things difficult for Mo Wen, even if he wanted to.
“Everyone should know the purpose of this journey. What use are a few spiritual stones?” Jiang Jingtao’s face grew cold. He was not siding with Mo Wen. He was merely speaking the truth. In reality, he did not care either whether they found the spiritual stones or not. That was because the other item was far more valuable than hundreds and thousands of spiritual stones. Even a hundred thousand spiritual stones may not be enough to exchange for that piece of treasure.
“What treasure does Luofeng Sect have that is attracting so much attention?” Mo Wen looked curiously over at Chen Wuhui, who was beside him.
