The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 654 - 224: The Broken Branch of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree (6k)_2
Zhou Qingxin’s heart tightened immediately, secretly lamenting.
Careless, he shouldn’t have shown any abnormality in front of the Spirit Severing Realm.
But the next moment, what surprised Zhou Qing was that Xuanyuan Shuo merely glanced at the stick casually, then threw it to the ground, and proceeded to pour out the soil from the basin.
"This flowerpot is completely made of Purple Spirit Silver, it could be worth two or three pieces of Top-Grade Spirit Stones if sold." Xuanyuan Shuo said joyfully.
The Second Uncle immediately stepped forward, picked up the stick from the ground, and examined it carefully.
But he also only stayed for a moment, then like Xuanyuan Shuo, he threw the stick aside without any hesitation, quickly squatted down, and started searching through the soil on the ground.
After a while, the Second Uncle laughed loudly: "Old Shuo, you were careless, look what I found!"
As he spoke, the Second Uncle surprisingly pulled out a slightly dim Top-Grade Spirit Stone of wood attribute from the soil.
"Although it has lost some energy, it can still be worth four or five ordinary Spirit Stones." The Second Uncle said proudly.
Xuanyuan Shuo immediately slapped his forehead with regret.
He was so afraid that the Second Uncle would compete with him for the flowerpot that he overlooked its contents.
Zhou Qing stared blankly at the two, speechless for a moment.
What was this, buying a box but returning the pearls?
It made sense, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, such an Immortal Divine Medicine, was incredibly rare, ordinary people might not even recognize it.
Even Situ Jiuyao from the Fifth-level Cultivation Country, knowledgeable and experienced, and the Peng Emperor, who was naturally attuned to various Spirit Medicines, didn’t recognize it.
And not even the Prince from the Fourth-level Cultivation Country, with his extraordinary talent and experience across many sects, recognized it, showing its peculiar nature.
But soon, Xuanyuan Shuo picked up the stick again and examined it.
After all, since the precious Purple Spirit Silver was used to create the flowerpot, and Five Elements Top-Grade Spirit Stones were placed inside, the Peng Emperor wouldn’t have done it without reason, there might indeed be something special about this stick.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing’s heart tightened again, his heart pounding, constantly praying that the secret of the stick wouldn’t be discovered.
"Crazy!" Xuanyuan Shuo muttered after carefully examining it and confirming it was just an ordinary dead branch, before discarding it again.
He then looked at the Second Uncle and Zhou Qing, "Almost done here, we can leave now!"
The Second Uncle nodded his head, then looked at the four Demon Kings lying on the ground.
The two exchanged glances, understanding each other, they proceeded forward, placing a finger on the foreheads of the Demon Kings, constructing their memories before they had fallen asleep.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qing let out a long breath, and taking advantage of their inattentiveness, inconspicuously walked over, and immediately stored the stick into his Storage Bag.
Then his face lit up with joy.
It seemed that all the treasures in the Peng Emperor’s cave mansion combined couldn’t compare to this stick.
This time, he truly made a fortune.
But whether he could successfully cultivate this Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree depended on the next day’s [Daily Reflection], whether it could provide new clues.
Otherwise, it would all be in vain.
As for the Second Uncle, he probably wouldn’t believe it even if he told him.
Moreover, he had never heard of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree given his extensive knowledge, the sudden mention of this Divine Medicine would surely raise suspicion.
After all, the Second Uncle was already skeptical and curious about how Zhou Qing could always recognize him in his altered forms, what if...
Looking at the two fully immersed in erasing the memories of the Demon Kings, Zhou Qing weighed his options and decided to keep the secret of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree hidden.
He didn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble upon himself because of a moment’s impulsiveness.
If things went wrong, he might be the next one lying there, having new memories implanted.
"The Old Ape has left, are you ready?" Shortly after, Xuanyuan Shuo held the Great Demon Order, his expression stern as he spoke.
The two nodded, and as the cave mansion opened, the three immediately carried the four Demon Kings out, throwing them in the shrubbery below Black Feather Peak.
The Second Uncle then grabbed Zhou Qing, swiftly leaving the Great Demon Mountain.
In just a few breaths, the Blazing Heaven Falcon and Ghost Kite and several other Demon Kings slowly awoke.
Their eyes were still a bit dazed, but upon receiving the urgent message from the Old Ape, they instantly became alert, their expressions anxious, hurriedly rushing towards the mountaintop. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
...
"Zhou!"
"Brother!"
Upon seeing Zhou Qing and the others return, Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu rushed forward excitedly.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, signaling that he was safe.
Xuanyuan Shuo then called Jiang Pojun and the others, instructing them to gather everyone who saw Zhou Qing transform into the Golden Roc during the competition.
"The matters here are done, we’ll stay for another two days before leaving!" The Second Uncle said to Xuanyuan Shuo, his gaze calm.
Xuanyuan Shuo nodded, then looked at Zhou Qing, smiling: "If there’s any need for assistance in the future, I will send someone to find you, the reward remains the same!"
Zhou Qing smiled faintly, and replied succinctly: "Alright!"
After that, they parted ways, each busy with their own affairs.
"Sir!" The Second Uncle and Zhou Qing stopped Lin Daochen and handed him a Storage Bag mysteriously.
Lin Daochen was puzzled, but when he saw the replicated jade slips inside, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Now that this matter is finished, Zhou Qing and I have some things to attend to, we might not return to the academy for a while, hope these can help you, sir!"
The Second Uncle said sincerely, his eyes filled with respect for Lin Daochen.
Lin Daochen was deeply moved.
The person before him was a Spirit Severing Realm expert, equal in status to the dean.
Yet he showed no arrogance, even displaying more respect for teachers than ordinary students.
