"Whoosh!"
Tan Yun took a light step forward and crossed a distance of a thousand feet, appearing in front of Gongsun Sen with a sword in hand. His disdainful gaze was filled with fierce and aggressive energy. "Old man, is this all you've got? Do you dare to shut the door and deal with me?"
"Tan... Tan Yun..." Gongsun Sen trembled all over, looking up at Tan Yun with pleading eyes. "Let's talk things over, please don't kill me."
"Tan Holy Son, you misunderstood... You really misunderstood!" Gongsun Sen said tremblingly, "I just wanted to vent a bit, I didn't mean to kill you!"
"I'll vent your nerves!" Tan Yun slapped Gongsun Sen hard, causing blood to spurt from his nose and mouth. "Old man, take me to get the spiritual herbs now. If the number of herbs I want is even one less, I swear I will skin you alive today!"
"Tan Holy Son, please calm down! There are still spiritual herbs, I'll take you to get them right away." Gongsun Sen, enduring the pain, got up and led Tan Yun upstairs.
Mu Mengyi and the others followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the sixth floor, Gongsun Sen opened a hidden compartment, revealing a different world inside.
Before them was a vast garden of herbs, filled with rare flowers and high-grade spiritual herbs beyond counting.
"Hehe, these are all good stuff!" Tan Yun's eyes glinted with a ghostly green light, and he said to Mu Mengyi and the others behind him, "Don't be polite, harvest all these spiritual herbs!"
"Hehe, sure thing, brother-in-law!" Xue Ziyan excitedly took out a bag of herbs from the Qiankun Ring and began harvesting in the spiritual herb garden.
Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Huangfu Yu, and Tuoba Yingying quickly followed.
"Pu!"
Gongsun Sen was so furious he spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately kneeling before Tan Yun, crying out, "Tan Holy Son, please, this can't be done... This absolutely can't be allowed!"
"These high-grade spiritual herbs were entrusted to me by the high-ranking members of the Holy Gate Danmai to nurture! Many of these herbs belong to Chief Gongsun. If you take all of them, it will cause a huge disaster!"
"Please, Tan Holy Son, stop gathering them... Quickly tell them to cease!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun chuckled and ignored Gongsun Sen, entering the herb garden himself. He gathered all the herbs needed to refine the top-grade 'Revitalizing Heart Elixir' and filled his bag.
For the next half an hour, Gongsun Sen watched helplessly as the herbs were plundered, regretting his actions bitterly!
If given a choice again, he would never have sought trouble with Tan Yun!
Now he was in a situation where he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing rice!
However, what further enraged Gongsun Sen was yet to come.
Tan Yun said to Xue Ziyan and the others, "The soil here contains extremely rich attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. You should take the soil too!"
Then, the five of them spent some time using spatial grasping to fill ten Qiankun Rings with the soil.
"What are you all doing?!" Gongsun Sen screamed hoarsely, "Taking the spiritual herbs is already excessive, but how can you take the soil too?!"
"What's the big deal about taking the soil?" Tan Yun wore a devilish smile, lifting Gongsun Sen by one hand, and called for Xue Ziyan and the others to follow him as he exited the hidden compartment.
"Whoosh—"
With a push of his right palm, purple primordial flame shot out from his palm, swirling around in the vast herb garden, burning away any lingering scent of their presence.
After retracting the primordial flame, Tan Yun said to Mu Mengyi and the others, "Take all the elixirs from the second to the sixth floor!"
"Tan Yun... you... you... are being too much..." Gongsun Sen trembled, rolling his eyes and nearly fainting from anger.
In the following moment, Xue Ziyan and the others emptied the entire Spiritual Herb Holy Pavilion of all the elixirs suitable for cultivators in the divine soul realm, including divine soul pills,凝灵丹,归灵丹,大力宝丹, and over a hundred types of elixirs, totaling eighteen thousand furnaces of elixirs.
