Tan Yun's expression turned serious as he bent slightly, saying, "Chief, please rest assured. I will definitely protect the Revival Jade Grass!"
"Mm." The bing qing daoist nodded lightly, her gaze fixed on the eleven elders. "In addition to the Revival Jade Grass, we are seriously short of a seventh-grade spiritual herb: Tortoise Breath Ice Orchid."
“These three types of spiritual herbs are extremely rare. Although the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden has them, their ages are insufficient. Therefore, I hereby command you all to do whatever it takes to find these three spiritual herbs within a year!”
“Remember, this is about Chief Tang's life. You must find them at all costs!”
The bing qing daoist stated unequivocally, “Furthermore, the matter of Chief Tang being injured must not be leaked. Anyone who dares to disclose it will face my wrath.”
Upon hearing this, the elders responded in unison, “We dare not, we understand!”
“Hmm.” The bing qing daoist nodded in satisfaction, then furrowed her brows, “Next, let’s each express our opinions and discuss how to find the Tortoise Breath Ice Orchid, Ghostly Soul Yin Stone Lotus, and blazing flame spiritual herb.”
“Yes, Chief.” The elders complied, and after a moment of contemplation, elder two spoke, “Chief, in my opinion, we can pursue the three types of spiritual herbs in two ways.”
“Firstly, we can post bounty tasks at the inner sect market through the two major auction houses, offering multiples of the price for the three types of spiritual herbs to incentivize the inner sect disciples to seek them out.”
“Secondly, I can personally visit various Secret Realms to search for them.”
“Additionally, if we truly cannot find all three spiritual herbs, or if we are missing one, are there any other spiritual herbs that can serve as substitutes…”
Elder two spoke at length, and the other ten elders subsequently shared their viewpoints.
It wasn't until noon that several plans were finalized.
The bing qing daoist instructed the eleven elders to leave first while Shen Qingfeng stayed behind.
With a flick of her delicate fingers on the Qiankun Ring, a spiritual herb pouch appeared in her graceful hand.
She then took out a green vessel, radiating with life energy, which was the size of a washbasin.
Next, she retrieved five stalks of Revival Jade Grass from the spiritual herb pouch.
The Revival Jade Grass stood about a foot tall, with three branches and three leaves, displaying a jade-like color. If not observed closely, one might mistake it for a lifelike jade artifact.
This spiritual herb is an essential ingredient for refining the Revival Sovereign Pill. While not a rare spiritual herb, these five stalks of eight hundred-year-old eighth-grade Revival Jade Grass are indeed quite scarce.
The bing qing daoist carefully placed the five stalks of Revival Jade Grass into the life-infused vessel and handed it to Shen Qingfeng, reminding him again, “This is related to Chief Tang’s life, so you must arrange for disciples to keep watch for twelve hours. If anything unusual occurs, notify me immediately.”
“In short, there must be no mistakes.”
Shen Qingfeng cradled the vessel in his hands, his expression solemn as he replied, “Miss, please rest assured, I understand.”
In the absence of others, Shen Qingfeng always referred to the bing qing daoist as “Miss.”
“Hmm, if there’s nothing else, you may leave.” The bing qing daoist spoke softly.
Shen Qingfeng hesitated slightly, saying, “Miss, regarding Tan Yun, I have something to discuss.”
“He's a waste; what is there to discuss?” The bing qing daoist's beautiful face revealed a hint of anger, “If you don't mention him, I might feel a little better. But when I hear that name, I think of the other eight chiefs and their mocking gazes when they look at me.”
“Miss…” As Shen Qingfeng began to speak, he was coldly interrupted by the bing qing daoist, “Don’t say anything more. I do not want to hear anything about him.”
