"Since that's the case, do as you please..."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade these people, Chen Liang gave up helplessly. "Disciples of the Tian Nan Sect, stay. As for the others... if you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to leave... please do so!"
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye..."
Immediately after, a series of such voices rang out. Then, the number of people in the group quickly decreased.
In a few minutes, the number of people had decreased from more than twenty to only seven or eight people. More than two-thirds of the original number had been lost.
The remaining people were none other than Chen Liang, Ling Fei, Fang Lin, Qin Fang, the master surnamed Cao, and his two disciples... There were only seven people in total. The others had all left.
However, the ones who stayed were the strongest group in the Tian Nan Sect... including the three masters on the surface. Even Master Cao's two disciples were on par with Fang Lin in terms of strength and had reached the Master Level.
"Senior Cao, aren't you going to leave with us?"
Now that everyone had left, Chen Liang sighed helplessly. Then, he glanced at Master Cao and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"It's better to have more people..."
Master Cao smiled and said indifferently. However, his gaze went past Chen Liang and landed on Qin Fang.
Master Cao, who was over fifty years old, was truly a shrewd old man. He had previously guessed that the Tian Nan Sect had a trump card … but after the commotion just now, everyone else had left, leaving only the people of the Tian Nan Sect.
Chen Liang and Ling Fei were naturally not lying. They were on par with him in terms of strength. They had been old friends for many years and knew each other very well...
Fang Lin was a junior. Although his strength was not bad, Master Cao had noticed that Fang Lin was only at the beginning of the Master Level. He wasn't a particularly powerful expert at all...
With a simple elimination method, all the suspicions were naturally focused on Qin Fang, the young man whose identity was a mystery.
Just now, he had also been paying attention to Qin Fang. Whether it was killing the Japanese from Fusang before, or many people snatching the precious herbs just now, Qin Fang seemed to be quite calm, as if he was not moved at all.
At the same time, Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and the others' attitudes towards Qin Fang were also quite strange … Although they had tried very hard to hide it, he still found some abnormalities.
Because of this, these people all rushed to leave. Only Master Cao and his two disciples stayed behind … In fact, his two disciples also wanted to persuade their master to act alone, but Master Cao glared at them and left.
Chen Liang smiled knowingly at Master Cao's answer and didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked in front of Qin Fang and said with a bitter smile, "Martial Uncle, I've embarrassed myself in front of you …"
With such a sentence, the faces of Master Cao and his two disciples suddenly changed … Especially Master Cao, his face was even more shocked.
Although he had already guessed that Qin Fang's identity and strength were not simple, he didn't expect that Qin Fang's seniority was so high even though he was younger than Qin Fang … Thinking about it, he, Chen Liang, and Ling Fei were of the same generation, so when he faced Qin Fang, he probably had to call him Martial Uncle.
For an old man in his fifties to call a young man in his twenties as Martial Uncle, even if the people in the martial arts world didn't care too much about this, it was still very difficult for Master Cao to accept.
"Everyone has their own ambitions … Since everyone has already dispersed, then let's disperse!"
Qin Fang didn't care about Master Cao's reaction. He just waved his hand with a smile and said, "Let's not talk about unnecessary gossip. Let's go to the island … The periphery of the island has these good medicinal herbs, so there may be spiritual herbs inside …"
"Spiritual herbs …"
Hearing these words, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Even their breathing became a lot heavier.
These people, including Chen Liang and the other Tian Nan Sect disciples, only thought of spiritual herbs as treasures in legends, and no one dared to have extravagant hopes … It was impossible for a small sect like theirs to have spiritual herbs, not even the slightest bit of spiritual herbs.
However, when Qin Fang mentioned it, their spirits were immediately lifted, and their eyes became much more fervent, as if the spiritual herbs were right in front of them.
Actually, Qin Fang had already been observing the island from the moment he set foot on it.
Perhaps it was because there was a flaw in the formation that allowed the island to be exposed to the world, but the spiritual energy within the island was still very dense … It was almost denser than the secret realm Qin Fang found.
Moreover, this island should have been deserted for many years, three hundred years, five hundred years, or even a thousand years were all possible …
For such dense spiritual energy to have been deserted for hundreds of thousands of years, then there was definitely the possibility of rare medicinal herbs, and even spiritual herbs …
Just now, Qin Fang used the Qian Men's Qi Observation Secret Technique to check and found that in the depths of the island, there was a very strange airflow. To be precise, it was a dense and somewhat strange Qi flow … Seeing this, Qin Fang's first thought was … there were elixirs there!
"Whether or not there really is a spiritual herb, I don't dare to guarantee … However, even if it's not a spiritual herb, it's at least half a spiritual herb!"
Seeing the reactions of these people, Qin Fang couldn't help but add on a little, slightly changing what he said just now …
Even if Qin Fang had basically confirmed this matter in his heart, he couldn't provoke these people too much, or else they might really do something irrational … The logic of people dying for wealth, and birds dying for food, hadn't changed much until now.
For the sake of a stalk of spirit herb, the few of them really wouldn't be afraid of anything …
"Half a spiritual herb is also fine … That's also a priceless treasure!"
However, even if Qin Fang discounted it a little, it still made these people drool … Their eyes were about to turn green.
"Let's go …"
Qin Fang didn't have the mood to look down on these "country bumpkins" who hadn't seen the world. He could only sigh softly, then lead the people into the depths of the forest, directly towards the place where the spiritual herb might appear.
Spiritual herbs were definitely rare treasures, but Qin Fang didn't have a strong need for them, so much so that they were dispensable …
Qin Fang himself had the peerless spiritual herb Golden Dragon's Saliva, an ordinary low-grade spiritual herb Spirit Origin Grass, and the Snow Bodhi that was comparable to a mid-grade spiritual herb … It was equivalent to having three spiritual herbs, so naturally, he wouldn't be as impulsive as the others to have another spiritual herb.
Chen Liang and the others were different. The Tian Nan Sect was a first-class sect on this small island, but it was much weaker on the mainland. In the entire Asia Continent, it wasn't even worth mentioning …
Even many powerful sects didn't have a spiritual herb, so how could the Tian Nan Sect have one?
Therefore, Chen Liang and the others couldn't be blamed for not seeing the world, it was just that this "world" was too rare … Now that they finally had such a rare opportunity, how could they give it up?
If they could bring this spiritual herb back to their sect, it would definitely be an unimaginable merit!
Of course, even half a spiritual herb was already a priceless treasure to the Tian Nan Sect … They would definitely be wild with joy!
"Fortune Fruit, Longevity Vine, Wolf Fang Grass … Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this small island is really full of treasures!
It's worthy of being an ancient ruin that has been lost for thousands of years … "
The group of seven headed towards the depths of the small island. Along the way, they came across many rare herbs. Qin Fang and the others naturally wouldn't let them go, and they all unceremoniously plucked them.
Qin Fang naturally picked the most precious herbs. He needed to refine the Hundred Herb Pill, the Tiger Roar Pill, and some other special pills. He also needed a lot of ingredients. He didn't care for ordinary herbs, but for rare herbs, Qin Fang wouldn't let them go.
Even if Chen Liang and the others only picked up a few "leftovers" that slipped through Qin Fang's fingers, it still made them smile … Each of them had at least three to five precious treasures in their hands.
"Following Martial Uncle is still the best …"
Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and Master Cao couldn't help but praise.
Previously, Master Cao was still struggling with the issue of Qin Fang's seniority, but not long after, he was already like Chen Liang and the others, calling Qin Fang Martial Uncle. If not for the fact that he was afraid of being too rude, he would have asked Qin Fang if he wanted to take in a disciple.
In any case, his sect was only a very small one. How many years had it been since a Grandmaster level expert appeared …
He asked Chen Liang about it and found out that although Qin Fang was young, his strength was incomparably strong. He had already stepped into the Grandmaster level realm that he didn't dare to dream of in his life … It was even possible for him to advance to the Grandmaster level.
If he could become the disciple of such a great expert, it would naturally be much better than staying in his half-dead sect …
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to get close to Qin Fang, Qin Fang seemed to be a little absent-minded. Unless he found some precious treasure, Qin Fang's face didn't seem to have much of an expression.
Even if he found a treasure, Qin Fang would go over to check it out first. He would take whatever caught his eye, and leave the rest for Chen Liang and the others to distribute equally …
It was also because of Qin Fang, this great expert, that they didn't encounter any danger. Instead, they obtained treasures much more easily than the others. It was almost as if they had picked them up for free!
It was no wonder that they kept complaining about how great it was to follow Qin Fang …
"This isn't good …"
However, Chen Liang and the others never thought that although Qin Fang and the others had obtained a lot of treasures along the way, Qin Fang was getting more and more worried. His brows gradually furrowed.
"We're about to enter the inner island. Everyone, be careful …"
However, Qin Fang didn't say much to Chen Liang and the others. He only gave them a simple reminder.
