Chapter 183: Divine King Betrays the Sect, a Big Black Pot, and Lu Ming's Fortune (Part 2)
Just now, they hadn't thought of this.
Now that they were enlightened, they realized the severity of the problem.
So, the current situation was that the Moonlight Immortal Mansion was gone, the Spirit Herb Treasury had been emptied, and even the high-quality pills that were about to be obtained had flown away like a cooked duck?
"Tang Wu, I'll f your whole family!"
"Tang Wu, you're not human!"
"You thief, you deserve to the official website of the Bright Moon Sect. You might find information there about the theft or the sect's response.
"I'll make sure he can't live or die!"
"..."
The elders roared.
Just now, they had been restraining themselves, telling themselves to be civilized and polite, and they didn't want to be laughed at by Lu Ming. They felt that Gu Qingyun and Ji Hao Yue were too radical.
How could they curse so casually?
It was beneath their status!
It would be better to be more conservative like us.
But at this moment...
The 'conservatives' felt that the radicals were being too conservative in their cursing.
Let me teach you how to curse properly!
The elders all started cursing.
Lu Ming was amazed and felt he had gained new insights.
"Enough!"
In the end, Ji Hao Yue was the first to calm down and said, "The sect cannot go a day without spirit herb resources."
"Elder Two, you take charge of this matter. First, collect all the spirit herbs within the sect that meet the required years and are usable, and put them into the treasury."
"Elder Three, take some essence stones and go to the major cities to purchase the necessary items.
"Discuss the specific requirements with Elder Lu after he recovers."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The two elders agreed.
But Elder Two couldn't help but mutter softly, "I'm just curious about one thing."
"Other cultivation or special auxiliary spirit herbs, if Tang Wu took them, that's fine. But why didn't he spare even those useless spirit herbs?"
"Useless?" Gu Qingyun was curious, "What do you mean by useless?"
"I mean the spirit herbs that are of little use."
"For example, there's a Yin-Yang Blossom."
"That name is a bit inappropriate!"
"It's inappropriate because this herb has only one effect, and that is to make 'beasts' go into heat, applicable to both males and females. For humans, it's useless."
"Only the Beast Taming Sect likes it, and I've been keeping it to lure them again and sell it at a high price."
"But for Tang Wu, he wouldn't dare to trade with the Beast Taming Sect. What's the point of taking the Yin-Yang Blossom? It's a complete waste of time, and it would increase the chances of him getting caught, which is very strange."
"There's also the Black Soul Breaking Grass, and..."
"These are the 'useless' spirit herbs. They are neither tasty nor worth keeping, and if you're not careful, they might even kill you."
"How bold of him!"
"Even when he's preparing to flee for his life, he still takes the time to collect these things?"
"..."
Gu Qingyun also found it peculiar, and he couldn't help but speak up, "Is it possible that he wants to raise some spiritual beasts or demonic beasts? After all, one of his abilities is Rabbit Kicks Eagle, and it's also the Divine Soul of our sect's original sequence disciple, Xiao Shan..."
"In that case, the Yin-Yang Blossom will have a chance to be useful?"
"This...?"
The Second Elder almost spat out his drink.
Are you serious with that reasoning?
What the...
"No, Great Elder, there's something you don't know. Not only are these spirit herbs useless, but they're also difficult to handle. The slightest mishap could bring great trouble upon oneself."
"Why would he do that?"
"This...?" Gu Qingyun hesitated.
The other elders also fell into deep thought.
Just then, Lu Ming raised his hand lightly and said, "Is there a possibility..."
"That he doesn't recognize them?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Lu Ming continued, "The Second Elder just mentioned that these spirit herbs are too obscure and sinister. If that's the case, it's not surprising that ordinary cultivators, especially those unversed in alchemy, wouldn't understand or recognize them, right?"
"Bam!"
Ji Hao Yue slapped the table, "It must be so!"
"He doesn't even know what obscure and sinister mean, let alone what those spirit herbs actually are!"
"Anyway, in his eyes, everything in the treasure trove must be good."
"Spirit herbs protected by seals and barriers are even more valuable!"
"Since they're so valuable, it's only natural to take them all!"
"Second Elder, don't be suspicious. Tang Wu is the traitor. I'll immediately notify our sect's powerful cultivators and issue a wanted notice to hunt down and kill the traitor Tang Wu!"
"Yes, Sect Master. I'll take care of it immediately. Tang Wu will undoubtedly die!"
Elder Gu Qingyun clasped his fists and left to handle the matter.
After making numerous detailed arrangements, Ji Hao Yue sighed and approached Lu Ming, expressing her apologies, "Sect Master, I feel ashamed."
"You've only just joined the sect, and already you encounter such a mess..."
"I've made you a laughingstock."
Lu Ming shook his head and also sighed, "Sect Master, it's not your fault."
"You've already done well. But who could've imagined that Tang Wu would have such wolfish ambitions? He's already a white-eyed wolf."
"This is simply..."
Ji Hao Yue nodded, "A beast!"
"But Elder Lu, rest assured. I'll make sure this matter is resolved to your satisfaction."
"I'll have Tang Wu captured alive and brought before you, so you can decide his fate and take your revenge!"
"This..."
"Isn't that a bit much?"
Lu Ming shook his head, "Bringing him back alive is too troublesome and prone to complications. In my opinion, if the opportunity arises, it's better to just kill him."
"To avoid any further losses for our Bright Moon Sect..."
Ji Hao Yue sighed, "I feel ashamed, so ashamed!"
"Elder Lu, you've endured so much, and yet you still consider the sect's interests. I really am..."
"Sigh!"
"Elder Lu, go and recuperate for now. Don't rush your recovery, and there's no need to rush pill refining. As for Tang Wu..."
"Rest assured, I'll give you a satisfying resolution."
"I trust the Sect Master's judgment."
"Then I'll go and recuperate."
After a period of pill consumption and assistance from several elders, Lu Ming, who was almost 'tragically killed', left to recover.
As for the so-called pill refining, don't worry about it~
You can be anxious, but will you come and help?
Without ingredients, what can we do?
We can't ask the elders to pay out of their own pockets, can we first gather some and then send them? That wouldn't sound good either.
However~
Regardless, this time, he's made a huge profit.
Lu Ming didn't expect the situation to turn out this way.
He had only intended to take some spirit herbs, but ended up with a big catch.
Tang Divine King even made an appearance, allowing him to take advantage of the situation.
He even used this opportunity to slack off and not refine pills~
Perfect!
"But Tang Divine King, oh Tang Divine King, I wonder what expression you'll have when you realize you've carried water in a bamboo basket?"
Lu Ming didn't have any intention to torment Tang Divine King.
After all, Tang Divine King is a protagonist template, and even if his 'true self' is just a sewer rat, in the Immortal Martial Continent, Tang Divine King has clearly mutated.
More ruthless.
More shameless.
More of a scoundrel, and also stronger.
The protagonist template even has a halo.
If there's a chance to kill, it's better to do so directly. If something unexpected happens, it'll be difficult to deal with.
Furthermore, this kind of karma~
Lu Ming doesn't want it.
"Moreover, it's not that easy for Bright Moon Sect to kill Tang Wu."
"Where's a protagonist template ever so easy to kill?"
"If mishandled, it might even become a way to help Tang Divine King grow."
"But for me, it doesn't matter."
"In fact, I should be happy."
"After all, one side is my enemy, and the other is someone I respect but keep at a distance. When they clash, tsk."
"It's a joy to witness their achievements."
...
...
...
That day.
Bright Moon Sect issued a wanted notice to the world.
"Hao Yue Sect Wanted Notice.
Our traitor, Tang Wu, has turned against our sect's nurturing, destroying our secret realm and pillaging our entire spiritual herb treasury...
Such actions are despicable and unforgivable!
We must eliminate him!
Hence, this wanted notice is issued.
Those who provide information on Tang Wu's whereabouts, once confirmed, will be rewarded with one million Origin Stones!
If they can bring back his corpse or fragments of his Divine Soul, the reward will be ten million Origin Stones!"
But, if anyone dares to collude with him, providing him shelter or assistance, they will be considered our enemy, and we will never rest until we settle this score!"
The notice was sent out.
Soon, it spread like wildfire across the Southwest Domain.
It even continued to reach other domains, one after another.
In a small city, Tang Wu, hidden from sight, received the news. He overheard others discussing it, and his expression darkened with anger.
"How dare they!"
"They actually issued a wanted notice?"
"Does Hao Yue Sect not care about their reputation?"
"After their disciple destroyed their secret realm and pillaged the treasury, shouldn't they quietly pursue and eliminate him themselves?"
Tang Wu was furious.
He had already prepared for the worst, expecting to be hunted down by the sect.
"Foster Father, are you awake, Foster Father?"
He was anxious.
He wanted to consult with his foster father, but despite repeated calls, there was no response, no fluctuations in energy. Tang Wu could only confirm that his foster father was indeed in deep slumber.
"Sigh."
In a moment, he began to resent the Hao Yue Sect.
"Why do they say I emptied the entire spiritual herb treasury?"
"Clearly, I only took some ordinary items. The good stuff was mostly with that bastard, Lu Ming. Even these ordinary items were mostly in his hands."
"Why blame me for everything?"
Tang Wu was indignant.
Yes, I admit I destroyed the Moonlight Mansion.
I won't argue against that.
But, you're saying I pillaged the entire treasury?
Even though I risked my life, almost got killed by you, and only managed to grab some ordinary items, you're accusing me of emptying the treasury?
And the Immortal Crystal, that super valuable treasure that I could absorb and grow until the Eighth Realm without fully consuming it, is now gone too?"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
Tang Wu's expression twisted, almost driven to madness.
He kept telling himself it was a dream, a heart demon...
But after trying almost everything and making 'adjustments,' he had to admit that this was indeed reality!
Treasures? Gone!
Herbs? Gone!
Immortal Crystal? Also gone!
Even more, not just these items, but everything he had collected and stored in his bag was gone.
He was left with nothing, not even a single stone.
"..."
He stood frozen in place, for a long time, a very long time.
Suddenly, Tang Wu realized, "It was Lu Ming, that bastard!"
His teeth clenched in anger. Recalling the moment he fought with Lu Ming, when Lu Ming disappeared for an instant, and he felt his waist suddenly lighten. At that time, he thought Lu Ming was going to kick him in the groin or deliver a groin kick.
But when he checked and found no injuries, he didn't pay it much mind.
Little did Tang Wu know...
That bastard Lu Ming wasn't trying to hurt him, but to steal his Storage Bag?!
And he succeeded!
To prevent Tang Wu from noticing immediately, he even replaced it with a bag filled with stones and hung it on his waist.
By the time Tang Wu realized, it was already too late...
He lost it all!
Not only did he lose half of his items, but he also had to bear the blame for emptying the treasure vault, which was already outrageous and extremely unsatisfactory.
But now, he finds out that he lost his wife and the army as well?
Not only were the pills gone, but the treasures he had carefully chosen were also missing.
Even the Immortal Crystal was stolen.
So much so that all his previous collections...
He even lost his underwear.
As a result, he had to bear such a big black pot!
How unlucky am I?
Why is Lu Ming so shameless?
Is he even human?
Tang Wu was furious!
He even felt like crying.
From a young age, he had never suffered such a big loss or endured such a big injustice.
And when he did, his foster father was always there to back him up.
But now, his foster father is in a deep sleep, and there are no pills to awaken him.
Tang Wu could only endure it.
Good...
So hard to bear...
So unbearable!
At this moment, Tang Wu had two thoughts in his mind.
One, how unlucky am I?
Two, why is Lu Ming so shameless?
He even wanted to step out and clarify the situation, a.k.a... to report the crime.
Alas, now that he's covered in mud and sat on it, it's as good as sitting on shit. Even if he steps out to explain, the Bright Moon Sect won't believe him.
Instead, they'll probably try to kill him first.
This...
What should I do?
Tang Wu's mental state was on the verge of collapse.
He was so anxious!
Not knowing what to do, he also didn't have anyone to consult with...
Considering this place wasn't safe, and the people around him were increasingly discussing him, although he had a disguise, if someone recognized him, it would be too troublesome.
No way.
I have to leave quickly.
As angry as he was, he knew survival was the priority.
He got up, ready to leave.
But the waiter stopped him.
The waiter wasn't strong, only at the Second Realm.
However, due to his job, and the fact that there were strong cultivators in the inn, he wasn't afraid.
"Sir," the waiter smiled, "Have you finished eating?"
Tang Wu's expression changed slightly, thinking he had been recognized. But upon hearing the waiter's words, he relaxed a little.
Then, deliberately hoarsening his voice, he replied, "..."
He was curious.
I've finished eating, why are you stopping me?
Are you asking if the food was good, seeking tips?
"Then, it's good, sir."
"The dishes you ordered were all top-quality spirit beast meat, and there were even medicinal meals and spirit wines~"
"So, it's a fair price at one hundred and two spirit stones."
"You can round it up, and the tip is up to you."
The waiter's smile was radiant.
Tang Wu was very annoyed, but he had no choice.
At the same time, he didn't want to see that damn storage bag!
"Storage bag?"
The waiter took the bag, his eyes filled with surprise, and then, his gaze shifted.
Tang Wu's face turned slightly red.
He felt like everyone was staring at him, their eyes like needles pricking his skin.
He turned and left.
But the waiter stopped him again, "Sir, it's not enough."
"What?!"
Tang Wu frowned.
Seeing the crowd pointing and whispering, he was infuriated.
"The market price of a storage bag is over a hundred spirit stones. Why is it not enough?"
"You little rascal, don't be too greedy. Even if you don't give a tip, it's fine."
The waiter remained unyielding, "Sir, you're joking. Tips are voluntary. If you're generous, give more, and if you're stingy, don't give any. It's all the same to us waiters."
"How dare we ask for more?"
"But when I say it's not enough, it's not about the tip, but the fact that you crushed the white jade eight immortals table just now."
"This is a high-quality white jade table, worth five hundred spirit stones."
"Sir, you have to compensate~"
