What interested him were Earth Grade Spiritual Medicine and Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicine.
Having heard that
They simply wanted to stir up trouble. They simply wanted to see Dan Qian Palace suffer.
Zhu Changsheng laughed: "Actually, if we make a move against Dan Qian Palace, apart from the Northern Darkness Sect, the other sects may not necessarily help. At the very least,
Cao Jin nodded slightly. None of this mattered to him.
In the Myriad Phenomena Region, he didn't have these sects in his eyes at all. Whether anyone helped Dan Qian Palace or not was, in his view, nothing but floating clouds.
With his cultivation at the peak of the Saint Realm, when he descended upon Dan Qian Palace, who could stop him? Would it not be a case of taking whatever he pleased?
Earth Grade Spiritual Medicine corresponded to Imperial realm powerhouses, but even Imperial realm powerhouses didn't have as many as they wanted.
For the entire
Though Cao Jin was currently only at the peak of the Saint Realm, he was just one step away from that Imperial realm.
Having heard that Dan Qian Palace had so many Earth Grade Spiritual Medicine, his heart naturally raced with excitement.
What's more, there were several stalks of Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicine — for him, those were treasures of a luxurious grade. Even in the Upper Eight Domains, Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicine rarely circulated.
Cao Jin smiled leisurely, already having made up his mind.
He cupped his fists toward Wei Zikua: "Envoy Wei, you have your responsibilities, and I have my ambitions. This Dan Qian Palace — I am going, no matter what."
Wei Zikua actually very much wanted to stop Cao Jin, but his status and position were simply insufficient to prevent him. With a bitter smile on his face: "Young Master Cao, this matter is of great importance. If we are forced to show our hand prematurely, it will truly affect the Heavenly Sect's grand arrangement for the Myriad Phenomena Region..."
"What grand arrangement? The grand arrangement is nothing more than a lower domain. Even if we establish a prefecture here, so what? Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicine is a treasure of heaven and earth — if heaven offers and you don't take it, you'll suffer disaster instead. Envoy Wei, rest assured. I, Cao, go only for the Spiritual Medicine. It doesn't involve territorial sovereignty and won't affect the grand arrangement."
Cao Jin clearly wasn't explaining this out of fear of Wei Zikua. What he feared was that if he truly affected the grand arrangement, then even with his status as one of the Ten Great True Disciples, he would not escape some punishment upon returning to the sect.
If he could avoid disrupting the grand arrangement, it was better not to.
Though Cao Jin had his nose in the air, that didn't mean he was a brute who fought and acted recklessly.
As he spoke, Cao Jin had already risen gracefully from his seat, transformed into an afterimage, and vanished from the Three Star Hall.
Wei Zikua could only stare with his jaw hanging open.
Zhu Changsheng and the Greedy Wolf Sect Master, however, were secretly rejoicing. With this disaster Cao Jin charging toward Dan Qian Palace, the palace would probably be awash in blood this time.
Especially the Greedy Wolf Elder — thinking about how Jiang Chen had extorted a stalk of Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicine from him by the lakeside, his belly was full of resentment.
Now, with a Heavenly Sect genius like Cao Jin taking action, Dan Qian Palace would be lucky to survive without being flayed alive.
Wei Zikua, his face dark, glanced at Zhu Changsheng and the Greedy Wolf: "Do you two think your provocation worked? Secretly delighted in your hearts?"
Zhu Changsheng and the Greedy Wolf looked at each other, finding it hard to answer for the moment.
"Don't be so naive. Cao Jin's Dao heart is resolute and enduring — how could he be provoked by the likes of you? His going there is solely for the Spiritual Medicine and the Ten Thousand Year Life Pill formula. If he weren't tempted, you could wear your mouths to dust and it would be in vain. Forget it. The Heavenly Sect's arrangement is nearing its end. Now we just wait for the final wrap-up. At this time, we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps, or all our efforts will have been for nothing."
Wei Zikua was a cautious man by nature. Seeing Cao Jin leave, he couldn't help but worry.
Charging into Dan Qian Palace might be satisfying. But once it provoked the united hatred of the entire Myriad Phenomena Region, taking the region without unsheathing a blade would become far more difficult.
So he decided he would follow and see for himself.
……
Cao Jin mounted his escape light and flew toward Dan Qian Palace at top speed.
If he were in the Upper Eight Domains, he might not dare fly so freely. But in the Myriad Phenomena Region, he had no reservations whatsoever.
Half a day later, he arrived at the borders of Dan Qian Palace's territory.
Another hour later, Cao Jin reached the outer perimeter of Dan Qian Palace's main gate.
Cao Jin gazed down from on high, surveying Dan Qian Palace, when his eyes suddenly halted at a certain cave dwelling in Danxia Valley.
"Hm? That cave dwelling is somewhat suspicious — it seems to have a formation?" Cao Jin opened his spiritual sense to its fullest, covering the entirety of Dan Qian Palace's main gate.
Even the
And just as Cao Jin's spiritual sense was prowling outside Jiang Chen's cave dwelling, Huang'er, who was bathing in the Wood Spirit Spring, suddenly turned pale.
"Where did this lecher come from, daring to sweep my dwelling with his spiritual sense?" Huang'er was good-natured by temperament, but at this moment, bathing in the Wood Spirit Spring, she was inevitably more sensitive.
She knew that spiritual sense probing couldn't see inside the Wood Spirit Spring, much less her bathing form.
Yet this particular strand of spiritual sense made Huang'er feel deeply offended.
A young girl, when unclothed, was always especially sensitive.
What's more, this spiritual sense bore down from on high with aggressive momentum, appearing brazenly unrestrained, without the slightest hint of respect. This made Huang'er realize that this was definitely not a powerhouse from Dan Qian Palace.
The visitor harbored ill intentions!
Huang'er emerged from the Wood Spirit Spring with a splash. Her perfect body, having undergone the baptism of the Wood Spirit Spring, had gained an even more ethereal, immortal quality. The faint mist rising from the Wood Spirit Spring enveloped her like smoke around a peony, filling the air with a sense of sacred purity.
