Several hours later.
The Heavenly Demon Medicine Field.
A middle-aged man dressed in farm clothes looked at the hundred-meter-long medicinal herb field and couldn't help but sigh.
"Why."
"If this continues, all these medicinal herb fields will be abandoned."
This man's name is Su Song, and he is the guard who oversees this medicinal herb field within the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Because the Heavenly Demon Sect does not place much importance on medicinal fields, this medicinal field, which is only within a hundred-meter radius, is now showing signs of being abandoned.
Seeing him made my heart ache.
Su Song sighed, but just then, a voice came from the sky.
"Su Song, we're here."
He subconsciously raised his head and saw the Supreme Elder and several other elders descending from the sky.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder."
Su Song quickly bowed, then looked at the group with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "Elders, what brings you to the herb field?"
"Clearing the land".
The Supreme Elder stroked his beard and uttered two words in a low voice.
"Um?"
"Clearing the land?"
Upon hearing this, Su Song was taken aback. "What does the Supreme Elder mean by that?"
"Literal meaning."
The Supreme Elder said with a smile, "It was the Patriarch who sent us here. Don't ask so many questions. I don't know either. We'll know everything when the Patriarch arrives."
Hearing this, Su Song could only nod silently, despite his confusion.
Soon, hundreds more disciples arrived at the medicinal herb field, carrying hoes and other tools.
Su Song was moved to tears upon seeing this.
The fact that the land was being cleared meant that the patriarch had begun to value these medicinal fields, and that the spiritual herbs he had carefully planted could finally be saved.
Once all the disciples had assembled, a figure stepped out from the void.
It was Ning Tian.
He remembered that there were still 100,000 acres of spiritual herbs waiting to be planted in his storage ring after he finished fighting Luo Wuqing.
Therefore, he gave instructions to the Supreme Elder.
That's why things are like this now.
"Grandmaster."
The Supreme Elder was the first to see Ning Tian and bowed slightly to him.
"Greetings, Master."
The other disciples also quickly followed suit and bowed.
Ning Tian smiled, looked at the group of disciples, then at the herb field, and asked, "Who is in charge of this herb field?"
“Grandmaster, it is…it is me.”
Su Song squeezed out from the group of disciples and looked at Ning Tian with excitement.
Although he had been guarding the medicinal fields here, he had long heard of the patriarch's illustrious name, and he was naturally extremely excited to see the patriarch now.
"Who are you?"
Ning Tian looked at Su Song.
“Master, my name is Su Song, and I am the guardian of this medicinal herb field,” Su Song said quickly.
"Su Song? Okay, I understand." Ning Tian nodded, then looked at Su Song and asked, "If this entire medicinal field were cleared, how many acres of spiritual herbs could be planted?"
"Let me think about it." After pondering for a while, Su Song tentatively said, "Perhaps, it could be a few thousand acres."
"Several thousand acres?"
Ning Tian frowned and shook his head. "Not enough, not enough at all."
"How many acres does the patriarch intend to plant?"
Su Song was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously.
In his eyes, several thousand acres of medicinal herbs were already quite a lot.
After all, elixirs aren't like common cabbages; where would you find so many of them?
The disciples around him, each carrying a hoe, looked at Ning Tian with curiosity.
The patriarch summoned them here, surely to have them cultivate spiritual herbs.
But how many should be planted?
Ning Tian's expression remained calm as he slowly spoke, "One hundred thousand, I need to plant one hundred thousand mu."
Ten...ten thousand mu?
Su Song was dumbfounded, as were some of the disciples around him.
"Grandmaster...Grandmaster, where did you get so many spiritual herbs?" The elders and disciples on the side were completely bewildered.
"Hehe, this was tricked out of the Great Compassion Palace by the patriarch."
The Supreme Elder smiled mysteriously.
Where did they swindle this from at Dabeigong?
The group of disciples and elders were taken aback.
They had heard that the Patriarch had gone to the Great Compassion Palace a few days ago, but it seemed a bit outrageous that he had swindled 100,000 acres of spiritual herbs from that trip.
etc.
No, this is the founder!
For the patriarch, wasn't this just basic practice?
The disciples and elders also realized that it was the patriarch who had cheated them out of the spiritual herbs. Well, it's alright now.
As for the patriarch, everyone sit down. Don't be silly about the basics.
"Ten thousand acres of medicinal herbs..."
Su Song swallowed hard, then said with a bitter smile, "Master, even if the entire medicinal field were cultivated, it would probably only yield tens of thousands of acres."
"Is that so?" Ning Tian stroked his chin, lost in thought.
After a while, his gaze fell on the high mountain next to the medicinal field.
Upon witnessing this scene, the group of disciples and elders were immediately jolted and filled with a sense of unease.
Holy crap!
Could it be that the patriarch is thinking of tearing the mountain down?!
Just as they were pondering this, they heard the patriarch murmur, "Why don't we tear down that mountain?"
"No, no, Master!"
At this moment, the Supreme Elder hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"oh?"
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why not?"
"..."
The Supreme Elder was stunned, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, before he could even speak.
Then the patriarch asked, "Does demolishing a mountain require a reason?"
The Supreme Elder paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Isn't it necessary?"
