Continuing to walk along the path going through the spiritual herb fields on the summit of the Ninth Star Peak, Xuan Hao soon made his way down to the base of the Ninth Star Peak inside the chaotic qi formation.
At the same time, it was also here that the storage buildings used for storing the spiritual herb seeds that had yet to be planted on the Ninth Star Peak and the already harvested spiritual herbs.
For this reason alone, the number of people present at the base of the Ninth Star Peak had significantly increased compared to last time he walked through the place, as a large number of alchemist could be seen trying to get their hands on some of the more recently harvested spiritual herbs that had a fresher and higher quality compared to those that had been in storage for a longer period of time.
"Hm? Qing Yi?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmong the large number of alchemist present surrounding a particular storage building that seemed to have just recently been filled, Xuan Hao managed to spot his first disciple eagerly rummaging through a large number of spiritual herbs that had been laid out for the alchemist to buy with the contribution points they had managed to earn from the Grand Mission Pavilion.
Of course, considering that Qing Yi shouldn't have been one to leave the sect to hunt down demon beasts or bandits causing trouble in the territory of the sect, he guessed that most of her contribution points had been earned through her alchemy. Concocting different pills and potions for the disciples and elders of the sect.
After all, even if she was his personal disciple, there wasn't any monthly stipend of contribution points that she would receive from the sect. Although… She could always sell off the cultivation resources she got from the sect for contribution points, but that was unlikely as it would hamper her own cultivation.
Thinking about this as he watched how Qing Yi essentially bought up close to a quarter of the spiritual herbs laid out, Xuan Hao decided to walk over after seeing that she was done finding the spiritual herbs she was looking for and was about to leave.
"M-master!?"
Seeing her master suddenly appearing in front of her, Qing Yi could not help letting out a slightly surprised voice as she quickly stopped herself before she ended up attracting the attention of the nearby disciples. Understanding that they would both get surrounded the moment these disciples realized that he was there.
In a sense, it was also because of this fear of demonic cultivators starting to cause chaos in the territory of the Star Shattering Sect, that a lot of these elders and disciples had taken on missions to kill demonic cultivators from the Grand Mission Pavilion whenever they appeared.
"Hehe, no need to praise me like that. For now, you should store away those spiritual herbs. After all, even though you can keep them like this for the short term, the quality of the spiritual herbs will decrease if not stored properly for an extended period of time."
"Yes! I understand master!" Nodding her head, Qing Yi took out the few containers for spiritual herbs that she had in her interspatial ring before filling them to the brim with the different spiritual herbs she had bought before they had a chance to stay out long enough to start losing some of their efficiency and freshness.
"Ah! I don't have enough…" It was only after stuffing half of the spiritual herbs she had bought away in containers that was then stored in her interspatial ring, that she realized that she had bought far more spiritual herbs than she had space for.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"…"
Seeing this, Xuan Hao could not help looking up at the clouds above with a hint of disbelief flashing through his eyes.
Who decided to go buy spiritual herbs without making sure they had enough space to carry the spiritual herbs that they bought?
Thinking this as he watched a rabbit shaped cloud floating above him, Xuan Hao didn't bother making a bit deal about it as he just took out some of the spiritual herb containers that he had been generously gifted by the demonic cultivators that he had dealt with during his and Yi Min's journey to the Blue Shore Kingdom.
Whoosh~!
"Ah! Thank you master!"
Grabbing the spiritual herb containers that her master handed her, Qing Yi smiled brightly as she began stuffing the last remaining spiritual herbs into them before placing them into her interspatial ring. During the entire ordeal, Xuan Hao just watched silently as his disciple borderline abused the spiritual herbs by stuffing them into containers that would under normal circumstances only contain a single spiritual herb. Not twenty like Qing Yi had been stuffing into them…
