Chapter 426: Two Commands

this tranquility was destined to be broken after the death of the Liu brothers.That morning, the usually composed steward of the Liu residence suddenly looked anxious and rushed into the inner courty...All Qin Sang could do was to tidy up the ruins, restore the tombs, and allow Elder Sister Qing Ting and her husband to rest in peace.

Besides that, Qin Sang did not set up any more prohibitions.

Perhaps if we restore the island to its ordinary, unremarkable state, it could last a little longer.

After leaving the small island, Qin Sang acted with more caution. Fortunately, the location of the medicine garden wasn't too deep within the Yuncang Great Marsh. Along the way, Qin Sang only encountered a few squads of patrol teams from the Xiao Han Domain and did not encounter any cultivators from the Heavenly Alliance.

But through contact with these patrol squads, Qin Sang could also feel the tension in the situation.

In an expanse of open water, a figure slowly emerged.

Qin Sang looked around cautiously, finding no sign of the enemy. He lowered his head to look at the calm surface of the water.

The lake water was clear and the fish were clearly visible.

Everything looked perfectly normal. There wasn't the slightest trace of any unusual energy around, and no sign of any restrictions or spirit formations.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Qin Sang hesitated for a moment, pinching a strange hand seal and striking it into the lake water.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

'Wow!'

The wave had just begun to rise when Qin Sang smoothed it out.

As the seal fell into the water, the leisurely fish swimming in the lake vanished suddenly, as if they were illusions. In their place, a gigantic black shadow appeared within Qin Sang's field of vision.

The shadow appeared as a long, cylindrical shape, like a giant whale swimming in the deep.

"Looks like I'm in the right place."

Qin Sang murmured to himself.

Before Qin Sang could continue his actions, a sudden change occurred in the shadows.

In the center of the shadow, a point of white light suddenly flared. Immediately afterward, violent fluctuations appeared across the entire shadow, countless specks of white light were born on the shadow, and then they rapidly converged toward the center, merging into one.

In the blink of an eye, the white light at the center of the shadow morphed into a shape resembling a nascent spirit sword.

A sword-shaped white light fluctuated, gently swaying, pointing straight at Qin Sang without wavering.

Targeted by the white blade light, Qin Sang felt the sharp aura emanating from it, and his heart was secretly taken aback. The fellow disciples inside didn't say a word and directly activated the restriction.

Considering the current tense situation, Qin Sang understood and quickly took out his own waist badge and Qi Yuanhu's secret order, delivering them to the shadow.

The seal and waist card take effect.

After a moment, the white light in the darkness vanished silently. Then Qin Sang heard several voices asking questions through telepathy. After answering each one, several figures flew out of the darkness.

Leading the way was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Judging from his appearance, he was about fifty years old. Qin Sang recalled the contents of the jade slip and remembered that this person was the only Qi Refining cultivator guarding the medicine garden, named Jie Ying.

Before the chaos, a disciple at the middle stage of foundation building, plus some disciples at the Qi refining stage, together with the spirit array originally in the elixir garden, was enough to guard this place.

Jie Ying brought the person out of the water and to Qin Sang's face, his voice somewhat embarrassed as he bowed, "I didn't know it was Senior Brother Qin who had arrived. I offended my senior brother. It was my junior's rudeness. I hope my senior brother will forgive me!"

He should have broken through the Foundation Establishment stage years after Qin Sang, so he should call Qin Sang senior brother.

Moreover, Qin Sang was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation suppressing him. Jie Ying worried that Qin Sang's eccentric temperament would lead to him bearing a grudge against him.

"Greetings, younger brother."

Qin Sang bowed back politely and said nonchalantly, "The situation is urgent, it's understandable that Master Jie is on guard. There's no need to blame him. This place isn't suitable for talking. Why don't we go inside"

Seeing Qin Sang's explanation, he finally felt relieved and hurriedly invited Qin Sang into the herb garden.

On the way, Jie Ying introduced Qin Sang to other disciples, and Qin Sang greeted them one by one.

Apart from the cultivators who are responsible for tending to the medicinal plants, the Pharmacy also houses a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator named Mao Ji, along with ten Qi Refining stage disciples. This is determined by the characteristics of the Pharmacy's spirit formation.

A cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage, aided by ten cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, can unleash the full power of the spirit formation to fight enemies. The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators, seeing that the situation is unfavorable, can secretly leave and summon reinforcements.

The medicine garden was built on an underwater island, no wonder it couldn't be seen from the outside.

The island was submerged ten zhang beneath the water. It was long and narrow, with the best locations used for planting spirit herbs. Apart from the herb garden, some cultivators had carved out their cave dwellings within the island. The spiritual energy within these caves varied greatly in strength.

The rest was wasteland, overgrown with grass, teeming with fish and shrimp.

"...Brother Qin, these are all the arrangements of the medicinal garden here. I wonder if Uncle-Master Qi has any orders. Please show us, Brother Qin. From now on, we will all follow your lead."

Jie Ying walked around the island with Qin Sang, then inquired about his purpose for being there. He readily gave up control and looked at Qin Sang with an eager expression.

Qin Sang's mind turned, and she guessed almost perfectly what Jie Ying was thinking.

Guarding the medicinal herb garden was originally a good job. Not only could one cultivate peacefully, but when the herbs matured and were handed in to the sect, one could also receive rewards from the sect.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

However, in this situation, staying at the medicine garden in Yuncang Great Marsh without a sect order to leave would result in severe punishment, and even death if things went wrong!

Jiěyìng wished Qin Sang would take his place, so he could leave this place and return to his sect.

“How many more years until the spiritual herbs in the garden are ripe” Qin Sang didn’t answer Ying’s question and asked one of his own.

"To address your concerns, I'll answer patiently. Brother Qin, the spiritual herbs in our garden are of various types and qualities. Due to this recent upheaval, no one from our sect has come to collect them for a long time. Most of the herbs can be harvested immediately, except for a few that are auxiliary ingredients for the Kàn Lǐ Jīn Dān pill. The most time-consuming one requires at least another ten years to mature..."

This is also the reason for easing anxiety.

The situation in Yuncang Dazze was tense day by day.

During this time, he was troubled and had no heart to cultivate. He hid under the restriction, constantly paying attention to the outside world. Often, he could see cultivators flying past overhead, coming and going in a hurry.

No one knows when that taut string will break.

“Ten years…”

Qin Sang secretly pondered, this time was indeed a bit long, but Qi Yuanhu's order was not harsh, as long as most of the elixir could be taken away, it would be enough to complete the task.

He didn't beat around the bush any longer and repeated Qi Yuanshu's secret order.

To his surprise, when Jie Ying heard Qin Sang's recounting, he was filled with joy and disbelief. He eagerly questioned, "Senior Brother Qin, is this true Did Master Qi truly say that we don't need to worry about these medicinal herbs and should withdraw at any sign of danger"

Qin Sang frowned, looking at Jie Ying. He didn't expect this person to have such a high level of cultivation yet be so easily agitated. He said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Shi Qi should face my words and shouldn't doubt them. What orders did you receive before"

Jie Ying's face was flushed with excitement, and she didn't notice Qin Sang's displeasure. Hearing this, she cried out in a loud voice, "Brother Qin, you don't know. Before we reported to the sect, the order we received was for everyone to hold their ground on the island and wait for the sect's arrangements. The spiritual herbs on the island, especially a kind called Qiyefudanghua, if even one plant is missing, heads will roll! I didn't even dare to tell Mo Shixiong and the others the truth…"
