"I'm asking this question, not because I, an old man, really want to argue with you. It's just that this is related to the sect, and the sect must have a reason. You don't have to be too nervous, just answer it."
Finally, we get down to business.
Tu Nian paused, and quickly exchanged glances with Chu Qiurong. The latter understood and moved forward half a step without leaving a trace. "Master, please speak."
Nodding with satisfaction, Xue Shiqian went straight to the point, "Did you two pull out the Dragon's Breath Sunflower plant north of Qianji Lake?"
Chu Qiurong said truthfully: "Yes."
"Don't you know that Dragon's Breath is a marine plant, and there's no way it would just appear in this water for no reason? When you pulled it out later, didn't you ever wonder why it was there?"
Whenever this matter was mentioned, Xie Wenchang couldn't hold back and couldn't help asking questions, his tone also unable to hide his impatience. He wanted to say more, but Xue Shiqian beside him snorted a little and glanced at him sideways. Xie Wenchang had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.
Xue Shiqian's move was originally to avoid putting too much pressure on the two of them, so he asked slowly. However, Chu Qiurong had no intention of avoiding the question at all, and said calmly, "Elder Jie, what you said is absolutely right."
"We considered this issue at the beginning, but when we were waiting at the Dragon's Breath Sunflower, we didn't see anyone guarding it for a long time, nor did we see any signs or slogans appear nearby. So we thought the Dragon's Breath Sunflower was an ownerless spiritual plant and dug it up."
"Later, the disciples guarding the lake claimed it belonged to your sect, and we immediately returned it. We never had any desire to monopolize it. All the disciples guarding the lake that day can testify to this."
As a grower of Dragon's Breath Kui, Xue Shiqian knew that what Chu Qiurong said was absolutely true.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Attracting Formation, the more precious the spiritual plant, the more rare spiritual objects are needed to be sacrificed to pull it out. The thousand-year-old Dragon Breath Sunflower is already a top-notch material. To pull it out, a spiritual object of at least the best quality must be used.
Anyone who comes to Qianji Lake to fish for spiritual plants will definitely not wander around with a top-grade spiritual object in their pocket; and anyone who carries a top-grade spiritual object with them will not do the thing of diving into the water to look for spiritual plants.
Therefore, this Dragon's Breath Sunflower has been unattended since it grew for a thousand years. If someone accidentally encounters it, it is reasonable to regard it as an ownerless spiritual plant.
But thinking of this, Xue Shiqian was even more puzzled. With a frown on his face, he asked Chu Qiurong, "What spiritual objects did you two use to break this Immortal Attraction Formation?"
