Chapter 456
The fat monk's shouts continued outside the courtyard, showing no sign of stopping, leaving him no peace.
Somewhat helpless, he could only wave his hand to lift the restriction and let the fat cultivator enter the courtyard.
Su Yun sat cross-legged in the pavilion and said calmly, "What are you making such a fuss about? I'm cultivating, and you've ruined my state of mind again."
The fat monk waved his hand and said, "I've been out these past few days. Guess who I ran into?"
"Who?"
The fat cultivator sat down opposite Su Yun and said directly, "That old man you mentioned before, the one who wanted to buy your Soul Wood, what's his name, Dao Xuan!"
"Oh?"
Su Yun was surprised.
"You went to the Fourth Valley?"
The fat cultivator said, "Of course. Who knew that guy was actually a mid-level alchemist invited by the Valley Master of the Fourth Valley, a guest of honor, and had considerable influence in the Fourth Valley. My spies recognized me, and this guy came straight to me."
"He was planning to trick me out of my Soul Wood, but I exposed him directly, and he got angry and attacked me."
"He even threatened to capture you, torture you severely, and throw you into a furnace to refine you into a medicinal liquid in order to vent his anger."
"He had several cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Sea with him at the time. I fought with him a few times and then retreated."
Hearing this, Su Yun frowned slightly.
It seems things can't end peacefully with Dao Xuan...
He even wanted to refine himself into a medicinal liquid?
That's incredibly cruel. It's a shame he let the other party's men go before.
The fat cultivator continued, "I've heard all about it in the Fourth Valley. This guy is no good. He's a vile and despicable person. If it weren't for his alchemy skills, he definitely wouldn't have reached this position."
"Your feeling was right. Luckily you left in time, otherwise he would definitely have tried to kill you."
"Sure enough."
Su Yun clicked her tongue in amazement.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "How did you fare against him? How did he compare to that old monster, Song Ran?"
Upon hearing this, the fat cultivator scoffed and said, "How can he compare to that old monster?"
"Not even close."
"However, after I returned from my two days away, I discovered that there are quite a few people in this Fifth Valley searching for you and me. They are all from the Fourth Valley, and I have seen many of them before; they look familiar."
"On the contrary, there are fewer spies in the Fourth Valley."
"That's strange. How did he know I had returned to the Fifth Valley?"
The fat monk stroked his chin with some confusion.
After hearing this, Su Yun smiled helplessly and said, "Because I was also discovered."
He told the fat monk what had happened.
"So that's it."
The fat monk suddenly realized.
Then, he grinned and said, "That's not the point. The point is that I found a medicinal herb garden in the Fourth Valley."
"That herb garden belongs to that old fellow Dao Xuan. It contains many spiritual herbs, and most importantly, I discovered that two of the king herbs there are about to mature!"
"I once saw a mountain range that was blocked off and no one was allowed to enter. How could I, Fatty, let this opportunity pass me by?"
"I wandered around the herb garden for a few days, and it was only when I was outside the mountains that Dao Xuan discovered me, which led to a conflict. He didn't know that I had my eye on his herb garden."
The fat monk spoke, revealing a malicious smile.
"Is there actually a royal medicine being developed?"
Su Yun was somewhat surprised; this was the second time he had encountered a place where royal herbs grew, aside from Xuanlong Mountain.
The fat monk chuckled and said, "How about we pull off a heist? Since this old guy wants to kill us, why should we be polite to him?"
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea. The Valley Master of the Fourth Valley is a Life Palace expert, and there are other Qi Sea Peak cultivators as well."
"It's too risky for the two of us."
The fat cultivator waved his hand and said, "The location for nurturing the King Medicine needs to be naturally rich in spiritual energy. It is not in the central area of the Fourth Valley, but in a remote mountain range, far from the residence of the Valley Master of the Fourth Valley."
"Apart from that old guy, there are only a few of his men guarding the area, all of whom are below the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm. Moreover, most of them have been sent out to search for us in the Fifth Valley, so we are short-handed."
