It was indeed the people of Black Qiao Stronghold, which confirmed Wenshan's guess. However, he did not know what they were here for.
"Black Rock, what are you doing here at Bai Qiao Stronghold?”Great Guardian Bai Qiao stood up and shouted at Hei Shi.
"Shiying, you're not in charge of Bai Qiao now. Your good niece hasn't said anything yet.”Black Rock's method of sowing discord caused Shi Ying to choke, and he almost spat out blood.
"Of course the Great Guardian of Baiqiao Stronghold can make the decision.”Shi Huaichan stood out from the crowd and said. The former chieftain and the others looked at each other and nodded in praise.
"Haha, I'm here to congratulate my niece Huaichan on her ascension to the position of Grand Chieftain. It'll be easier to deal with her in the future.”Black Rock replied.
"Is that so? Black Qiao had never been close to Bai Qiao. He must have some ulterior motive for suddenly doing this.”Great Guardian Shi Ying asked suspiciously.
"Hey, Shi Ying, I think you're trying your best to destroy the relationship between us Black and White Qiao. You'll only be happy if the two races fight to the death.”
" You..." Shi Ying's face darkened again. He had nothing to say.
"Alright, Great Guardian. Black Rock, what exactly do you want?" Shi Huaichan interrupted Shi Ying and personally asked Black Rock why he had suddenly come.
"What kind of attitude is this? Is Baiqiao Stronghold to be led by such a person?”Black Rock mocked loudly.
However, Bai Qiao's people were all staring at him. The black and white races often fought, and casualties were inevitable. What they had formed was a long-standing hatred. What attitude did they need? They didn't even bring gifts when they came to congratulate him. The guards were armed.
Seeing that his words were useless, Black Rock was actually just joking around. He laughed out loud first."Hahaha, good. Since you're not welcome, I'll leave.”
" Get lost, get lost, you're not welcome…" The Bai Qiao clansmen kept shouting.
"Humph!" Black Rock turned and left.
"Men, bring some men and keep an eye on them. Don't start a conflict.”Shi Huaichan immediately instructed.
"Yes." A group of guards followed Black Rock out.
"Alright, today is the big day of the celebration. Let the ceremony begin.”The ritual elder came out to announce when he saw that the auspicious time had arrived.
When the new chieftain of Baiqiao Stronghold ascended the throne, the etiquette was complicated and there were many steps. First, they burned incense and prayed to the gods. Then he put on his hat and passed on the code, stating the rules and swearing the law. Finally, they celebrated with food and drink, singing and dancing…It ended in the afternoon. They heard that there was a bonfire party at night.
As night fell, a guard stumbled to the meeting hall." Report…Chief Tusi, the medicinal garden in the cave has been attacked.”
"What is it? Who is it?" Shi Huaichan was enraged, and so were the others.
Wenshan also knew about the herbal garden in the cave. It was Bai Qiao's highest-grade herbal garden. There were many high-grade precious medicines such as ginseng, ganoderma, and fire lotus that were nearly a hundred years old. Just thinking about it made Wenshan drool. There were often hundreds of guards stationed there to protect and patrol, but today, they were robbed. It was such a pity.
"I don't know who they are, but they are all wearing black clothes and masks. " Just as night fell, the guards took turns to have dinner. Because the Great Chieftain had ascended the throne, he drank some wine happily, so everyone was ambushed…" The guard said as he lay on the ground with sweat all over his head.
"How are the casualties and losses? Tell me in detail." Shi Huaichan knew that now was not the time to be angry.
"There were only 10 people who ambushed us, but they were all experts. Their kung fu doesn't seem to be something we know…The captain was heavily injured with one strike, and the others were dragged by eight of them. The other two broke into the herb garden…In half an incense's time, they ran out and retreated with the other eight. The herb garden was in a mess, but not a single precious herb was lost.”The guard reported truthfully.
"The captain of the guards is an expert at the late stage of Light Jin. Strange, barging into the herb garden and not stealing herbs.”Shi Huaichan found it very strange, but it wasn't that she doubted the guard's words. After thinking for a while, she instructed,""Great Guardian and Ritual Elder will deal with the aftermath.”
"Yes." Shi Ying and the ritual elder left with the guards.
"Someone come." Shi Huaichan shouted at the door.
"Great Chieftain." It was the guard who had followed Black Rock today.
"Did anything unusual happen when you followed Black Rock today?”
"Those Black Qiao people walked slowly and looked left and right. They stopped at the pine forest to rest for an incense stick of time before heading towards Black Qiao Stronghold.”The guard recounted what he had seen and heard.
"A diversion. It must be the work of Black Qiao Stronghold.”Shi Fang interrupted at this moment.
Shi Huaichan didn't say a word. She pondered as she walked. Then, she led Shi Fang out.
"Huaichan, I'll go take a look too." Wenshan spoke at this moment.
"Just follow." Shi Huaichan shot him a sideways glance.
Now, Wenshan was already considered half a member of Bai Qiao. Everyone had already begun to accept him. After all, he was a person with miraculous abilities.
Wenshan followed Shi Huaichan to the medicinal garden in the cave. The Great Guardian was directing the tidying up while the Ritual Elder treated the seriously injured.
This cave medicine garden was built according to the location. It was very spacious inside, and the air was very humid. The ceiling of the cave was very high, and there were many inverted stalagmites that would drip down from time to time. There were also many stalactites…Previously, when Wenshan set up the array here, he had used a small calculation to explore and see if there were any treasures such as chalcedony in the Thousand-Year Stone Cave. Thinking about it, it made sense. If there were these treasures, they would have been picked by Bai Qiao first. It would not have been his turn.
The herbs cultivated here were all precious, but none of them were over a hundred years old. He did not know how to refine pills, so these herbs were not very useful to Wenshan.
Wenshan summoned Little Tian and made a deduction on the spot. The result was that it was really done by Black Qiao Stronghold, and the target was the Black Lingzhi in the herb garden.
Shi Huaichan also realized that the Black Lingzhi Mushrooms were missing.
Wenshan asked curiously,""Huaichan, those people dug up the Inky Lingzhi. What's the use of this Inky Lingzhi?”
"You can see it too. Why did they steal the Black Lingzhi? The Black Lingzhi and the Red Lingzhi were symbiotic, just like Yin and Yang mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. We usually only think that the red lingzhi is a precious tonic medicine, but the black lingzhi has been neglected. According to pharmacology, red ganoderma was the most yang medicinal property, which could nourish qi, cure diseases, and save lives. This was because when ordinary people fell sick, they would suffer from a imbalance of yin and yang qi, an imbalance of the five elements, and a lack of qi and blood. They would often use red ganoderma to supplement their qi and strengthen their yang. The Black Lingzhi, on the other hand, had the nature of yin and was poisonous. It was impossible for ordinary people to replenish their yin energy for treatment, so no one used the Black Lingzhi Mushroom. Also, useless things were worthless, so few people paid attention to it. Of course, there were some strange creatures that would eat the Black Lingzhi, so the result was hard to say.”Shi Huaichan explained.
At this moment, in Black Qiao Stronghold…
"That's great, Mr. Yamamoto. With the Ink Lingzhi, my Floating Black Gu can be cultivated.”Black Rock said to a man in a Chinese tunic suit as he raised the Black Lingzhi Mushroom in his hand.
"Hehe, congratulations Guardian Hei Shi. You will nurture the most powerful Gu worm in the world. At that time, those people from Bai Qiao Stronghold will not be able to fight against you.”Yamamoto spoke in Mandarin with an inaccurate accent. He was obviously Japanese.
"Haha, alright, I'll go get it now.”Black Rock was obviously very happy.
Black Rock brought Yamamoto to a cave. There was a water tank in the middle, and there were countless floating bugs floating in the water. They were transparent and bright, constantly squirming. It would definitely make people's hearts go numb when they saw them.
Black Rock carefully threw all the Black Lingzhi into the water vat one by one, and the floating bugs in the vat immediately began to nibble at them.
