Chapter 840: Chapter 58 I Have a Dream [Two in One]_3
But if she could be treated with spiritual medicine capable of remaking her meridians, then she would be able to fully recover.
The White Butterfly Summer Grass that the young man mentioned earlier was one such medicine, and the White Jade Scented Fruit that Chu Liang was holding was another.
Indeed, upon seeing the spirit plant, the face of the little girl softened instantly.
Having grown up on the Immortal Island since childhood, she might not have seen much of the world, but studying spirit plants had been an essential part of her education, so she naturally knew that what Chu Liang presented was no fake.
"But..." Her expression still showed some hesitation, "we are strangers, why would you offer such precious spirit plants to me..."
"Because we want to exchange them for a treasure you have," Chu Liang pointed to the half copper talisman she was holding in her hand. "I give you the spirit plant, and you give me this, is that possible?"
"But..." the little girl was somewhat reluctant, "this is the only keepsake from my mother..."
"That’s so sad, but in a couple of days when you’re reunited with your mother, she’ll surely praise you for being such a good child," Chu Liang said tenderly, while also retracting the spirit plant he had offered.
"Eh!" The little girl hurriedly stopped him and quickly pulled the half copper talisman from around her neck and handed it to him, "Here you go, take it."
The copper talisman was a gift from her mother, but so was her life. If she could only keep one, it was clear her life was more important.
Chu Liang cracked a slight smile, then flipped the spirit plant in his hand and used Divine Dragon Fire to refine it into a ball of Primordial Qi, which he then fed to the little girl.
Once the spirit plant was ingested, her complexion instantly turned from a sickly pale with a hint of black to a healthy blush red, and she looked much better, though she did not relax but instead said urgently, "Thank you both, benefactors, can you do me another favor? My brother went to Blue Heron Mountain to steal a spirit plant for me, now that I’m fine, can you go tell him? Otherwise, if he’s caught, he will die!"
...
Having understood the direction to Blue Heron Mountain, Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang immediately set off, flying swiftly over five hundred li away.
Though their task was already complete and there was no need to take additional risks, staying any longer would have increased the danger. Yet, when just a moment’s effort could save a life, they did not hesitate to act.
As they neared the mountain peak, they heard a piercing sound of a gong.
About a thousand Lower Sect people had gathered around the mountain, all watching something, and upon reaching out with Divine Sense, they saw at the center of the crowd, two men in green clothing from the Law Enforcement Team.
These men from the Law Enforcement Team were all disciples from the Penglai Upper Sect taking turns here on duty specifically to keep an eye on the Lower Sect people.
Upon closer inspection, they saw another Law Enforcement Team disciple with a golden gong in one hand, constantly striking it,
"Our Fanghu Immortal Island has not witnessed such a vile incident of spirit plant theft in a long time!" the Law Enforcement Team disciple with the golden whip said out loud: "Yet today, someone had the audacity to brazenly dig up a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure! According to the laws of Penglai Mountain, today we shall execute him here as a warning to others!"
Having said this, he flicked his wrist, and the golden whip immediately coiled around the young man’s neck, pulling his head back, causing the young man’s face to turn red, clearly unable to breathe.
"Heh..." an inaudible roar came from his throat, his eyes filled with despair.
"Stop!" With timely arrival, Chu Liang leaped forward and shouted, "He stole the spirit plant to save his sister’s life; his sister was gravely injured and in urgent need of spiritual medicine! Even if you do not grant the spirit plant, at least spare his life."
"How dare you!" The disciple with the golden gong roared, "Who allowed you to step forward?"
As he spoke, he struck the Magic Artifact in his hand forcefully.
Dong——
The sound of the gong carried Divine Skills, causing ripple-like golden light to spread out, instantly causing the nearby Lower Sect people who were not high in Cultivation to moan in pain and stagger backward.
But Chu Liang remained unmoved.
At the same time, Eldest Senior Brother from Jade Sword Peak descended from the heavens.
Swish——
With Sword Qi filling the air, a flash of cold light severed the whip in the hand of the Law Enforcement Team disciple, another strand of Sword Qi shattered the nearby golden gong. Then with a flick of his sword, bam bam, the two Law Enforcement Team Disciples were already lying on the ground unable to move.
In but an instant, Xu Ziyang had already dealt with the two men from the Law Enforcement Team, and he casually landed, freeing the young man.
With no time to negotiate, they resorted to action.
The so-called ruthless men speak little.
The crowd around Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang watched in a brief moment of stunned silence but soon erupted into cheers: "Woah—"
"Everyone!" Seeing the atmosphere around him swell, Chu Liang’s eyes flickered, and he immediately leaped into the air, raising his hands and shouted, "Everyone, I ask you, this young brother just wanted to pick a spirit plant to save his sister’s life, has he done wrong?"
"No!" the crowd responded loudly.
"We spend our entire lives tending to these spirit plants, yet we cannot enjoy even the slightest benefit from them—is this fair?"
"No justice!" The emotions in the crowd grew more intense.
"Then listen to what I say, from today onward, it’s time for a change!" Chu Liang clenched his fist fiercely: "I want you all to know that I have a dream!"
His voice was passionate and stirring, as if imbued with a mesmerizing power.
"I dream that one day, the Penglai Three Islands will rise. Not only the disciples of the Upper Sect, but all of us, like in the age of the legendary saints, everyone will be as powerful as dragons!"
"I dream that one day, at the summit of Mirage Mountain, the children of the Lower Sect and those of the Upper Sect can receive the same resources and nurturing to prove that we are truly no less than them!"
"I dream that one day, we can obtain freedom and justice, no longer subject to oppression from those above us!"
"If we want to no longer be oppressed, we must strive for it ourselves! Let our voices travel from Fanghu to Penglai, and from Penglai to Ying State, let our voices echo through the Penglai Three Islands and shake the summit of Mirage Mountain!"
