“I don't know either!”
Lu Ming was also dumbfounded. He really had no idea what kind of spiritual herb he had given to the Grand Elder.
But he was absolutely certain that he hadn't known the herb was so incredibly formidable and heaven-defying!
If he had known, he definitely would have eaten it himself long ago!
Big Yellow grew anxious instantly, its paw scratching at Lu Ming.
“Boss, how could you not know? You were the one who gave that spiritual herb to the Grand Elder!”
This was a direct express ticket to the Half-Immortal Rank! If they had this spiritual herb, they could soar on the spot and become Half-Immortal Rank experts directly!
They would never have to worry about those ancient forces causing trouble again!
Lu Ming didn't waste words either. He simply gestured for everyone to step back.
With a loud whoosh,
Lu Ming poured out countless boxes containing spiritual herbs.
“Come, come... Grand Elder, take a look. Which spiritual herb was the one I gave you?”
As he spoke, Lu Ming waved his hand, and countless boxes popped open.
Instantly, a rich, refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air, deeply refreshing the senses.
The spiritual light radiating from the various herbs was multi-colored and dazzling.
Seeing Lu Ming pull out so many rare spiritual herbs, Diao San and the others gasped.
It seemed the Boss had gained quite a lot from his trip out this time!
He had truly gone to great lengths to provide for them!
“Come, come... Grand Elder, quickly identify which one it is!”
Big Yellow also hurriedly called over the Grand Elder.
Wang Defa's lips twitched. Why did the Grand Elder have to make such a fuss?
The Grand Elder cast a symbolic glance over the various spiritual herbs Lu Ming had brought out.
With a wave of his hand, he swept them all into his storage bag.
“There is no such spiritual herb in here!”
Lu Ming looked at the empty ground, then at the Grand Elder, and in the end, said nothing.
If the Grand Elder wanted to take them, then so be it!
Anyway, he still had plenty in his Equality Secret Realm.
As the saying went, with food in hand, one doesn't panic. With so many spiritual herbs in his possession, the Grand Elder could cultivate with peace of mind.
Besides, they might have to face pursuit by ancient forces later on.
It was just as well for the Grand Elder to take them...
Meanwhile, Big Yellow and Fu Chen were filled with disappointment. How could there be none left?
“Grand Elder, why don't you draw a picture of it? Just in case we encounter it in the future, I don't want to miss it!”
Big Yellow said, unwilling to give up.
The Grand Elder didn't waste words either and directly drew a picture of the spiritual herb.
The spiritual herb on the drawing had seven purple leaves.
Its stem glowed with a faint, pearly-white shimmer, and a single round crimson fruit grew at its tip.
The entire herb was enveloped in a thin, lightly scented purple mist.
Big Yellow examined the herb's appearance and realized it didn't recognize it at all!
It had never even seen anything like it!
Even Wang Defa frowned as he studied the picture, realizing he had never seen such a spiritual herb either.
But he felt this spiritual herb should be real!
Looking at the picture, Lu Ming also fell into deep thought, searching his memory over and over.
He really had no recollection of ever owning such a spiritual herb!
“Grand Elder, are you sure this is the spiritual herb I gave you?”
“Ah! If you didn't give it to me, how else would I have it?”
The Grand Elder said as if it were a matter of course.
Lu Ming nodded. True, how could a little Golden Core old man like the Grand Elder have the ability to obtain such a spiritual herb?
Immediately, Lu Ming quickly took out an image stone and recorded the appearance of the spiritual herb on the drawing. What if he encountered it in the future?
Seeing his actions, Big Yellow and the others also pulled out their image stones to record it.
Just then, the Grand Elder's voice rang out:
“Now that you're back, where is Huang Tianbao?”
Hearing the Grand Elder's question, Diao San and the others also looked at Lu Ming.
They had noticed earlier that the Third Sect Master hadn't returned.
It was just that Lu Ming had been focused on their cultivation increases, so they hadn't asked.
“He's in the Xuanming Great World acting as a Ghost King...”
Then, Lu Ming recounted everything that had happened after they left.
Hearing this, everyone sighed in amazement. When they heard that Xue Wuchang had died to save Lu Ming, they all fell silent. They hadn't expected Xue Wuchang, a turncoat, to be so loyal and righteous.
At the same time, they also felt pity for Feng Qingqing's deep devotion to Xue Wuchang.
It was a tragedy that the lovers could not end up together!
“Grand Elder, please find an auspicious burial site for the two of them,”
Lu Ming turned to the Grand Elder and requested.
The Grand Elder's eyes flickered, but he still nodded.
Finally, under the Grand Elder's lead, they found a "prime burial site" for Xue Wuchang and Feng Qingqing that was surrounded by mountains on all four sides: front, back, left, and right.
Looking at the massive pit before them, gloomy with yin energy and devoid of sunlight,
Lu Ming turned to the Grand Elder:
“Grand Elder, are you sure this place is really an auspicious burial site?”
The Grand Elder's lips twitched. Back when he disguised himself as Grandfather in the Xinghe Dynasty and faked his death, didn't you also find me a prime burial site just like this?
And now you're complaining about it?
“Don't worry! This place will bring them good fortune!”
Lu Ming was somewhat speechless. They were already dead, what good fortune is there?
Could it bring good fortune to their corpses? What?
Could they turn into zombies after a hundred years?
But since the Grand Elder said so, it should be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Ming pulled out the coffins of Xue Wuchang and Feng Qingqing.
Then, he pulled out a shovel and began to dig the grave.
Seeing Lu Ming's actions, Diao San and the others wanted to help.
But they were directly rejected by Lu Ming:
“I'll do it myself. They died because of me!”
Hearing Lu Ming say this, Diao San and the others silently stepped back.
“I'll help you! We are brothers across species. Since he saved you, I should show some respect!”
Then, before Lu Ming could refuse, Big Yellow pulled out a shovel and began digging along with him.
Mu Linsen scratched his head:
“Big Brother, although I'm an adopted son, I'm still your brother. I'll join too!”
Then, Mu Linsen also joined in digging the pit.
With the efforts of the two men and one dog, before long, a joint burial grave was dug.
Then, Lu Ming placed their coffins inside.
“Dada... didi da...”
Just as Lu Ming was shoveling the dirt, Big Yellow pulled out a suona and started blowing it, the sound piercing the clouds.
Mu Linsen grabbed handfuls of paper money and scattered them into the air.
Wang Defa waved his hand, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Instantly, the sorrowful atmosphere was perfectly set!
Lu Ming turned to look at Big Yellow. When did this guy learn to do this?
Big Yellow, still blowing the suona, sent a voice transmission:
“Old Third taught me!”
Lu Ming nodded and continued shoveling dirt.
After Big Yellow finished playing Heartbroken Traveler at the Edge of the Sky, Lu Ming finished filling the grave.
“You two can rest in peace here. This is the auspicious burial site the Grand Elder chose for you.
He said it'll bring you both good fortune. Who knows, it might even turn you into zombies!”
Lu Ming muttered, staring at the tombstone in front of him.
Just then, suddenly, a cloud of black smoke rose from behind the grave.
Lu Ming was stunned. What was the meaning of this?
Had the souls of Xue Wuchang and his wife returned?
Just then, a vortex emerged from the black smoke.
“Are we back?”
A familiar voice echoed from within the black smoke.
