1526 The Change in Medicine
“Could it be that we won a complete victory in the beast tide last time and scared those spirit beasts out of their wits?” Cheng Xin’er guessed excitedly.
Recalling the beast tide battle last time, Cheng Xin’er still felt ardor and zeal coursing through their blood.
Duanmu Heng shook his head and said firmly, “No, according to historical records, every beast tide outbreak will only become more and more frequent and will never stop. Moreover, the more frequently the beast tide erupts, the more it means that the high-level spirit beast is about to break through or that the treasure is about to mature.”
“That’s right.”
Liang Zongxing nodded and agreed. “According to the news, the reason why the beast tide was triggered this time was because a rare treasure appeared in the inner area of the Firerock Forest. As for what treasure it was, we don’t know for the time being. However, the beast tide is fierce this time. I don’t think it’s an ordinary treasure.”
Duanmu Heng continued, “Although the beast tide won’t stop, it will be delayed, such as turning into a night attack. So, we need to be more cautious tonight. We can’t fail.”
“His Highness is right. I’ll guard the walls myself tonight. Fellow Taoist Lu and Fellow Taoist Mu have worked hard recently. Have a good rest,” Liang Zongxing said.
“Alright, thank you, Fellow Taoist Liang.” Lu Zijia didn’t refuse and agreed.
Because both drawing inscriptions and setting up array formations required soul power.
Soul power wasn’t like spiritual power, which could be recovered quickly with Spirit Stones or spiritual spring water. Instead, soul power could only recover slowly on its own.
So, even though Lu Zijia had the soul power of the Golden Core realm, she couldn’t take it anymore, and Mu Tianyan was the same.
“Patriarch, I’ve already found something about the Blazing Knockout Powder.”
When Lu Zijia and the others were about to leave and go to rest, a guard rushed over and reported to Liang Zongxing.
Hearing that, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan weren’t in a hurry to rest.
“What did you find out?” Before Liang Zongxing spoke, Liang Yingjun asked anxiously.
He was fully responsible for buying the Blazing Knockout Powder, but something went wrong during the intermediate beast tide. How could he not be anxious?
“I went to the shop where Young Master bought the Blazing Knockout Powder back then and wanted to investigate secretly, but I realized that the shopkeeper in charge of entertaining Young Master that day had been changed. After some investigation, I finally found out that the shopkeeper went to Dujin City and he met with the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Jincheng, who came with the eldest prince.”
At this point, the guard paused and said with a guilty look, “Unfortunately, my cultivation level isn’t high enough and I couldn’t save the shopkeeper from Wei Jincheng. However, I guess that Wei Jincheng must have something to do with the switch of the Blazing Knockout Powder.”
“It’s Duanmu Chun!”
Duanmu Heng’s expression was very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Duanmu Chun didn’t hesitate to put the entire city in danger for his own selfish desires. How despicable!”
Duanmu Heng had always known that Duanmu Chun wanted to kill him, but he had never thought that he would be so crazy!
If they hadn’t been able to resist the thousands of violent spirit beasts back then, more than half of the cultivators in Zhuang Prefectural City would definitely have died!
Thinking of the consequences, Duanmu Heng’s hatred for Duanmu Chun became even stronger.
Seeing his nephew’s gloomy look, Liang Zongxing patted his shoulder comfortingly. “It’s been two days since the poison should have acted up. If the first prince doesn’t hear about your death, he’ll definitely send someone to investigate. Think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible.”
