Chapter 251 The Glowing Jellyfish
"what?"
Hearing that even his master was not confident in dealing with that powerful demon, Sun Siyu was greatly surprised.
The advantage they originally had in dealing with the demon race's attack vanished instantly.
"But Master, what exactly is this demon race you're talking about?"
Afterwards, Huang Jiansheng gave Sun Siyu a detailed introduction to the situation of the demon race.
It turns out that three hundred years ago, Huang Jiansheng was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
One day, Huang Jiansheng and his fellow disciples from the Qingxia Sect went to the South China Sea to search for treasure.
While they were resting on a small island during a treasure hunt, they were unexpectedly attacked by the demon race.
The island where they were located back then belonged to the Bihai Sect, a small sect in the South China Sea. The highest cultivation level in the sect was only at the early stage of Core Formation.
However, the demons who attacked the island had reached the late stage of the seventh rank, which is roughly equivalent to the late stage of the Core Formation stage of a human cultivator.
Even more terrifyingly, on the eve of the demon race's attack, a large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators from the Azure Sea Sect went mad, attacking fellow disciples and rogue cultivators indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.
The Bihai Sect's overall strength was already far inferior to that of the demon race, and now it was facing internal strife. Huang Jiansheng was also extremely desperate at this time. Just when the Bihai Sect was about to be breached by the demon race, Feng Buping, the number one swordsman in the South China Sea, happened to pass by.
This allowed them to successfully repel the demon race's attack.
Huang Jiansheng later learned that the culprit that caused a large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators to go mad was the Youying Jellyfish clan.
The Shadow Jellyfish clan itself is not very powerful, but they are skilled at manipulating human cultivators through splitting spores, driving them into a state of madness.
Afterwards, most of these cultivators suffered damage to their spiritual consciousness and became completely insane.
After listening to Huang Jiansheng's introduction, Sun Siyu and Ye Xiaobai immediately realized the troublesome nature of the Youying Jellyfish clan.
"Senior, the Human Race has already witnessed the power of the Shadow Jellyfish Clan. They should have a countermeasure by now, right?" Ye Xiaobai boldly guessed.
“Indeed, the Deep Sea Mind-Concentrating Pill, made from deep-sea dodder, has an extremely strong effect on repairing consciousness and inhibiting the spores of the Netherworld Jellyfish,” Huang Jiansheng said calmly.
"What tier of pill is this Deep Sea Concentration Pill?" Sun Siyu asked.
"It's just a sixth-grade pill! For you and Alchemist Ye, it'll be a piece of cake." After saying that, he confidently stroked his beard.
"Go quickly to the sect's herb hall warehouse on the island and get some deep-sea dodder seeds to refine pills! However, deep-sea dodder seeds are not used often, so the warehouse probably doesn't have much stored."
"Okay, I'll go right away. However, I'll need to trouble Alchemist Ye to help refine the Deep Sea Concentration Pill later, since the demand this time might be quite large!"
Just as Sun Siyu was about to leave, more bad news came from outside.
"Something terrible has happened! A large quantity of spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Hall have been stolen!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately had a bad feeling.
Is it really just a coincidence? Just as he was about to refine the Deep Sea Concentration Pill, the necessary spiritual herbs ran into trouble. Ye Xiaobai also felt that things weren't so simple. It was very likely that this was planned in conjunction with the demon race's attack.
Ye Xiaobai and the others quickly ran to the Lingcao Hall on Dongxing Island.
Sure enough, most of the spiritual herbs in the Lingcao Hall warehouse were looted, while the person in charge sat on the ground and wept bitterly.
Now, forget about getting deep-sea dodder seeds.
"Stop crying! How long has it been?" Huang Jiansheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
"It's been...it's been an hour already." The person in charge of the spirit herbs was so frightened when he saw that even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the sect had arrived that he immediately stopped crying and could barely speak.
"Alas, they're all good-for-nothings! Am I supposed to go back to the sect to collect deep-sea dodder seeds again? Although the sect has some, going back and forth would probably drive even more rogue cultivators crazy." Huang Jiansheng couldn't help but sigh.
The person in charge of Lingcaotang was named Liu Caisheng. After hearing Huang Jiansheng's words, he immediately felt that he was doomed and couldn't even keep an eye on a warehouse.
He had spent a lot of spirit stones to pull strings and get this easy job of guarding the warehouse. Normally, everyone treated him with utmost respect, let alone causing trouble in the warehouse.
But why did an accident happen at the crucial moment when the demon race was about to attack Dongxing Island? Liu Caisheng couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains.
Just as everyone was struggling with this, Ye Xiaobai suddenly smelled the scent of a familiar person. It was the scent left by that old Mo. That guy had sold him to the demons of Thunder Island. He was lucky to have escaped.
This time, you absolutely must not let yourself catch him, or he'll definitely be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai quickly said, "There are traces of the looters here. I know a little about tracking techniques. I can try to see if I can find the looters!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the question. Liu Caisheng desperately hoped that Ye Xiaobai could retrieve the stolen spiritual herb, so that his punishment would be lighter.
Huang Jiansheng asked incredulously, "Master Ye, you also know tracking techniques? Can you find out who did it?"
"Time is of the essence, and I will do my best. To be on the safe side, I hope you will return to the sect to collect some deep-sea dodder seeds! This way, we can at least guarantee that we will have the materials to refine the pills!" Ye Xiaobai suggested.
“Master Ye is absolutely right, then we will have to trouble you, Master!” Sun Siyu echoed.
"You guys are good at making arrangements, having a Nascent Soul stage cultivator act as your porter! I'll also send a message to the people in the sect to have them collect the materials in advance, which will save us some time!" Huang Jiansheng complained helplessly.
"And you too!" Huang Jiansheng angrily pointed at Liu Caisheng and shouted.
"Before I get back, gather some auxiliary materials as soon as possible, or you'll bear the consequences!" Huang Jiansheng said, tossing Liu Caisheng a list of medicinal herbs.
"I will do my utmost to complete the mission!" Seeing that the elders of the sect were still giving him a chance, Liu Caisheng naturally wouldn't let it go and was determined to seize the opportunity.
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Jiansheng had already vanished.
Ye Xiaobai suppressed his admiration, thinking, "As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, their speed is truly amazing!"
It's a pity I ended up working as a courier.
There was no time for jokes. Ye Xiaobai said goodbye to Sun Siyu and began to track down Lao Mo.
Soon they arrived at a secluded corner. Ye Xiaobai circulated his cultivation technique and released his full range of scent perception. Within a radius of a thousand miles, no scent could be hidden.
"Hehe, it's here!"
Ye Xiaobai quickly confirmed the direction Lao Mo was fleeing; it was indeed moving away from the center of Dongxing Island and heading towards the deep sea.
It's highly likely they're planning to leave Dongxing Island.
An hour had passed, and Ye Xiaobai was very worried. He thought that Lao Mo would find a quiet place and destroy the deep-sea dodder, so even if Ye Xiaobai could catch up with Lao Mo, he wouldn't be able to get the spiritual herb back.
"Old Mo, don't be impulsive! Those deep-sea dodder seeds are worth a lot of spirit stones! Don't waste them!" Ye Xiaobai could only silently murmur to himself.
"Old Mo, slow down, I still have a lot of heartfelt things to say to you!"
Ye Xiaobai muttered to himself as he flew rapidly in a certain direction.
