Chapter 1027: Chapter 19 Internal and External Collaboration [2 in 1]_3 Chapter 1027: Chapter 19 Internal and External Collaboration [2 in 1]_3 “…Yes.”

“The Soul-Molding Bloodspirit Ganoderma’s main efficacy is targeting the remnants of damage to the three souls and seven spirits, finding the appropriate medicinal ingredients for conditioning before consumption. It is used to solidify and restore the soul; it makes sense to consider this herb as an option, naturally.”

“As for the Spirit-Congealing Green Jade Ginseng and Three-Life Undying Vine, they belong to the treatment of spiritual consciousness damage, focusing on differentiation of their respective functions and responsibilities.”

“Only with the Nine-Colored Ice Crystal Lotus am I unclear about its uses and methods, but I speculate that it must be related to the origin, or perhaps it balances the above spiritual herbs. After all, even the gentlest of spiritual medicines cannot simply be used at will; there must be another method for harmonizing them. Yes, that Emperor Rank Demon Beast’s Spiritual Pearl is most likely used for repairing the origin as well.”

Lei Tu’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, “As expected of a reputation well-deserved. Now, I look forward to meeting this Doctor Feng even more, truly a remarkable divine physician capable of healing the foundational damage of cultivators from Cloud Top!”

“Yes, what Big Brother said is true. But gathering all these herbs might be…,” Jinmian took a deep breath.

“Mm, just try your best to find them.”

Lei Tu said as if it were a matter of course, “There are some items I know where to find. I will give you instructions later. As for the rest, spread out and find a way, inquire more from the major powers.”

“…Yes.”

“Another important matter to remember is that not only are these medicinal materials difficult to find, but even after gathering them, storage must be approached with the utmost caution. Every spirit medicine with independent and even sentient properties must be merged, with their medicinal properties coordinated, king and minister, adjuvant and messenger, clearly delineated—it’s truly the most challenging task.”

Lei Tu exhaled in relief, “But now, at last, there seems to be some hope. Go find them.”

“Boss, there is one last sentence in the letter.”

“What does it say?”

“Two portions of each of the medicinal materials are required. This sentence must have been added by Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace!” Jinmian said.

“Damn it!”

A slap from Lei Tu on the armrest produced a slight clatter, as one side of the chair simply evaporated into a black hole.

Furious, he said, “Is Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace trying to swindle me?”

“…”

Jinmian bowed his head in silence.

Everybody was a centuries-old fox; who wouldn’t pick up such easy gains!

What kind of existence was Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, still a top power in the world after tens of thousands of years, and anyone who saw this prescription knew it well, not to mention that Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace also had an old ancestor much like their own.

How could they not exploit such a heaven-sent opportunity?

While treating Lei Tu, it was only natural to take care of their own ancestor as well.

The ultimate message was: regardless of whether it could heal Lei Tu or not, benefiting and nourishing their own old ancestor was assuredly possible.

After all, wouldn’t the old ancestor of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace be in much better shape than Lei Tu?

As an overlord from ancient times, how could Lei Tu not realize this?

But it was precisely because he understood this that he erupted in rage.

Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace treated me like a mere errand runner, an ungrateful and unpaid one at that!

Absolutely outrageous, preposterous!

“So… should we give it or not?” Jinmian hesitated for a long time before finally asking this question.

None of these items were easy to acquire.

The more we need to prepare, the more it means we and our brothers will have to pay.

“Give it!”

Lei Tu snorted, “The more they demand, the more it proves the authenticity of this prescription.”

“Of course, give it!”

“But today they take from me, and when I recover, Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace must return everything with interest! Otherwise, how could I retain any dignity under the name of Blood Emperor and walk in this world?”

“Yes.”

“Go search for them!”

Humming, Lei Tu closed his eyes in thought, pondering deeply, then spoke after a long while, “I seem to remember… that Qing Jade Ginseng… is in… that place… well, my memory isn’t very clear. You go ahead and make your own attempts first. I need to reflect and recollect my thoughts—it’s not a short saga from the distant past that can be recalled in a moment.”

“Yes, we will go now.”

“Hard work!”

Lei Tu said, “Once I have recovered, I will think of a way to help a few of you brothers break through to above Nine Colors.”

“Yes, thank you, Boss.”

…

Then, the martial world suddenly descended into chaos.

Not only were all parties, sects, and powerhouses on the Anping Continent affected, but even the Demon Beast clans became chaotic.

Especially in the Wild Verdant Mountain Range, where the majority of Demon Beasts lived, battles erupted much more frequently than usual.

The Ximen family was the first among the various powers to be attacked or, more accurately, plundered.

Three Jinmian men arrived together, demanding the Ximen family’s heirloom treasure, the Spirit-Congealing Green Jade Ginseng, aged more than twenty thousand years.

The Spirit-Congealing Green Jade Ginseng was the family heirloom of the Ximen family, never revealed outside, and a treasure for protecting the household, only permissible for the family head to see, not even the injured elders of the clan qualified to use it for healing; the bold demands by the Jinmian men shook the Ximen family to its core, tantamount to desecrating their ancestral graves.

Without coming to an agreement, they clashed fiercely, a great battle unfolding.

Each of the three Jinmian had the peak strength of Cloud Top powerhouses, formidable in cultivation and needless to say their ruthlessness too; they collapsed half of the Ximen family’s mountain gate with a power reminiscent of a hurricane, clearly not looking for a peaceable resolution, far from just a warning.
