Chapter 1882 - 1910: A Great Harvest
Ye Feng, Long Yu, Lord Ba Dao, Su Yourong, and the six remaining people from the Fierce Blade Sect and the Green Lotus Sword Sect quickly began to gather the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Field. Lord Ba Dao’s speed was particularly swift; with a wave of his large hand, countless herbs flew into his Storage Ring, filling it up.
As for Su Yourong, she had previously lost an arm, severed by a scarecrow, and the detached arm had been shattered by True Essence.
Now Su Yourong was in a one-armed state, so her harvesting speed was very slow and she couldn’t speed up at all.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, appeared leisurely, slowly picking his herbs. His harvesting speed was less than one percent of Lord Ba Dao’s. While Lord Ba Dao might harvest a hundred, or even hundreds, of herbs, Ye Feng would pick only one, seemingly indifferent to the precious herbs in the Medicine Field.
Seeing Ye Feng so relaxed, Long Yu showed a worried expression in his eyes: "Feng Ye, can you speed up a bit? At this rate, you won’t have harvested much, and these herbs will be taken by the Fierce Blade Sect. After all, it’s all thanks to your efforts that we could enter the Medicine Field to gather herbs!"
However, Ye Feng still retained his leisurely manner, seemingly unconcerned, a relaxed expression in his eyes.
"No rush, I’ve said it before, what’s theirs is theirs, what’s not theirs, taking it by force will only cost them their lives." Ye Feng said with a calm face. Seeing Ye Feng so at ease, Long Yu felt helpless.
Looking at Ye Feng, he believed Ye Feng had his own plans, so Long Yu decided not to say more.
Time passed swiftly, and three days quickly went by. Finally, after three long days, Ye Feng and his six-member group had nearly harvested all the herbs. Excitement was visible in everyone’s eyes.
If all these herbs were sold, they could be exchanged for tens of thousands of Holy Crystals.
Bear in mind, even a Sanctum Ascension stage expert’s entire wealth converted to Holy Crystals would only amount to two or three thousand pieces. The combined wealth of the Cangxuan Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch and the Cangxuan Saint Sect probably wouldn’t exceed ten thousand Holy Crystals.
This was an enormous fortune that could drive countless people crazy; it was highly enticing.
However, more than ninety percent of these herbs were harvested by Lord Ba Dao and that disciple from the Fierce Blade Sect.
Ye Feng, Su Yourong, Long Yu, and that remaining disciple from the Green Lotus Sword Sect harvested less than a tenth of the entire Medicine Field. Su Yourong, somewhat displeased, looked at Lord Ba Dao: "Ba Dao Senior Brother, didn’t we agree before? We would split the gains with a seventy-thirty split. Isn’t it time to split the herbs? Let’s take them out!"
Hearing Su Yourong’s words, Lord Ba Dao smiled slightly: "I don’t think there’s a need, Junior Sister Su Yourong. I’ve checked and estimated before; what the four of you have collected happens to be thirty percent of the entire Medicine Field. We indeed followed the seventy-thirty split agreement, so there’s no need to go through the trouble of dividing the herbs again."
"Oh?" Su Yourong felt a surge of anger and was very displeased, her chest aching due to Lord Ba Dao’s words, and both sides hurt. She didn’t expect Lord Ba Dao to be so shameless; they clearly harvested more than ninety percent of the herbs.
Yet Ye Feng, Su Yourong, and their four members of the Green Lotus Sword Sect had less than ten percent of the herbs.
But now, Lord Ba Dao brazenly lied, claiming they had harvested thirty percent of the herbs.
Su Yourong, dissatisfied, said: "Ba Dao Senior Brother, I think you collected way more than seventy percent, while our herbs are less than ten percent of the Medicine Field. I think you should take them out, so we can all share evenly!"
Suddenly, Lord Ba Dao’s expression changed, emitting a cold killing intent as he looked at Su Yourong coldly: "What’s this, Junior Sister Yourong, do you not believe me? Is there a need for me to deceive you?
I said we only took seventy percent of the herbs from the Medicine Field, so it’s seventy percent. Do you want to look into my Storage Ring? Should I take out my Storage Ring for you to check?"
Upon saying that, Lord Ba Dao took down his Storage Ring for Su Yourong to inspect.
But in Lord Ba Dao’s eyes, there was a strong sense of threat, and Su Yourong had no doubt that if she dared to inspect Lord Ba Dao’s Storage Ring, he would kill her.
Su Yourong was no longer a match for Lord Ba Dao, and now, with one arm gone, she stood even less of a chance against him. Lord Ba Dao could easily kill her.
Su Yourong forced an awkward smile: "What are you saying, Ba Dao Senior Brother, how could I not believe you? Since you say it’s seventy percent, then it’s seventy percent. Apologies, Ba Dao Senior Brother!"
Seeing Su Yourong was sensible, Lord Ba Dao nodded in satisfaction, a satisfied expression in his eyes.
"Hmm, this time’s harvest was substantial, and we’ve achieved our goal; it’s time to leave!" Lord Ba Dao said, then looked at his Fierce Blade Sect disciple: "Let’s go!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!" Then, the two turned and walked out of the Medicine Field. But at this time, Su Yourong was very upset, anger evident in her eyes. Clearly, the Medicine Field could be opened because of Ye Feng, so they should have gotten the lion’s share, yet now Lord Ba Dao only offered them less than ten percent of the herbs, making Su Yourong regretful.
If only she hadn’t teamed up with Lord Ba Dao, not only would the Soul Devouring Clan’s crystals be entirely theirs, but so would all the herbs in the Medicine Field.
"Bang!" Just then, as Lord Ba Dao and his companion were about to leave the Medicine Field, they suddenly collided with an invisible barrier, bouncing back, blocking their way.
"Hmm?" Lord Ba Dao frowned as True Essence surged around him.
