Hearing the words "Marrow Cleansing Pill," Song Huaiyu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the day when he could hold his head high. He secretly rejoiced in his heart. Currently, no one in the entire continent could refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill. If he could refine it, wouldn't he become the focus of everyone's attention?
He said eagerly, "Okay! I'll go find the things I need to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill in a moment."
The old man wrote the recipe very quickly, his pen flying across the paper. Soon, Song Huaiyu got the precious recipe. He carefully put it away as if it were a treasure, then he couldn't wait to go down the mountain and head straight to the pharmacy in town.
However, after inquiring at several pharmacies, he was greatly disappointed. Almost all of them said they had sold out the herbs needed to make the marrow cleansing pill, not even a single hair left.
Song Huaiyu's mood plummeted. He muttered to himself with a troubled look on his face, "This is strange. Why are there no herbs left? Did someone know in advance that I wanted to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
Unwilling to give up, he decided to search further afield. However, wherever he went, the result was the same: all the herbs had vanished without a trace, seemingly overnight.
Song Huaiyu was completely desperate. He sat on a stone by the roadside, thinking dejectedly about what to do next.
Logically speaking, since he had only just started refining the elixir today, no one should have known about it, right? However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face, forcing him to face this cruel fact.
The old man was also deeply confused at this moment. He frowned and his heart was full of confusion.
These herbs, whose uses are almost unknown to anyone, are now sold out as if overnight.
He thought for a moment and suggested, "Perhaps there are herbs we need in the secret realm."
Song Huaiyu nodded, and with a glimmer of hope, he immediately set off for the entrance to the secret realm.
However, the moment he stepped into the secret realm, his hopes were shattered like bubbles.
In front of me, there should have been a place with lush grass, but now there is only a barren grassland.
The bare land seemed to be silently telling the tragic story of the herbs being picked.
Unable to believe it, he continued to explore other secret realms, but the result was the same: all the herbs were gone.
If the rush to buy the herbs in the pharmacy was an accident, then why did the herbs in the secret realm disappear without a trace? He couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried.
The old man also seemed a little out of control at this moment. He looked around anxiously, muttering to himself: "What is going on? Why is it like this?"
Song Huaiyu sat weakly on a stone in the secret realm, staring blankly ahead.
He felt a surge of frustration, as if the entire world was against him. He smiled wryly and asked, "Is it possible someone already knows of your existence and is targeting me?"
The old man flatly denied it: "Impossible! Absolutely no one knows of my existence!" His voice was full of determination, but at this moment it seemed a little powerless.
"Then why is all this happening?" Song Huaiyu's voice was full of confusion and helplessness.
The old man was silent. He could not give an answer, nor could he explain what he saw.
The two of them sat in the secret place, facing the barren grassland, each immersed in their own thoughts.
Loss and despair, like thick darkness, surrounded them tightly.
At the same time, Song Jiao hid aside, looking at Song Huaiyu and the old man's expressions as if they had eaten shit, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
She felt that her plan was going very smoothly and there were more surprises waiting for them.
She has secretly told many people in the cultivation world about the secret treasure that Song Huaiyu has.
This secret treasure can not only improve the cultivation level, but also obtain the ultimate treasure of the world of cultivation. This news spread like a hurricane in the world of cultivation, attracting the attention and greed of countless people.
Tuanzi watched from the side, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
It thought to itself, "Maybe all the bamboo shoots on this mountain have been taken by Song Jiao. How could she come up with such a mean trick?"
Naturally, the people in the sect soon found out about this matter.
Originally, they thought highly of Song Huaiyu, believing that he was gifted and talented.
But now they found out that everything he had was obtained by relying on the secret treasure. This greatly reduced their impression of Song Huaiyu, and several people who had originally had a good relationship with him began to distance themselves from him.
Song Huaiyu knew nothing at first until Wang Yunxi appeared and told him all the rumors among the major sects.
After hearing this, he was completely stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
"Cousin, since you have this treasure, why don't you tell them? Wouldn't that be a pretext for them?" Wang Yunxi asked in confusion.
She felt that if Song Huaiyu had shared this secret treasure earlier, perhaps it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion.
But it's too late to say anything now, things have developed to this point.
Song Huaiyu looked at Wang Yunxi irritably, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing impatience. He waved his hand and said with a hint of anger in his tone, "That's enough. Now I just want to be alone. You go out first."
Wang Yunxi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Song Huaiyu’s bad expression, he immediately shut his mouth.
She knew her cousin's temper very well and knew that what he needed at the moment was quietness, not more questions and disturbances.
So she sighed helplessly, turned around and left the room.
After seeing his cousin leave, Song Huaiyu immediately called out the old man.
There was a hint of blame and anxiety in his tone: "Didn't you say no one knew? What should we do now?"
The old man was also confused at this moment. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "How should I know? After all, I have been dead for so many years. Did you offend someone?" He was also full of doubts at this moment and didn't understand why the news was leaked.
When Song Huaiyu heard the old man's answer, a nameless anger surged in his heart.
He asked in return, "Who could I possibly offend?" He felt that he had always been cautious and had not offended anyone.
The old man looked at him, sighed and said, "Now you should think about how to solve these problems!"
After saying this, the old man disappeared, leaving Song Huaiyu alone to face this sudden dilemma.
When Song Jiao saw this scene, she suddenly felt that the relationship between the two was really fragile. Then Song Huaiyu encountered countless open and secret struggles.
They must love each other, otherwise how can it be justified for her painstaking planning?
"Knock knock knock" there was a sudden knock on the door, and Luo Shang's voice was heard outside the door, "Lin Feng, you did this to Song Huaiyu, didn't you?"
