Alex wanted to check out the Yavda monk’s corpse to see if there’s anything useful on him.
Considering favonovel.com was an Immortal Monarch now, favonovel.com rnight’ve been even stronger back in his days. He was most likely quite powerful back when the power of laws was still perfectly balanced.
If Alex could get his hands on his storage ring, favonovel.com knew that he’d gain quite a few powerful items. However, Alex scanned the area with his divine conscience repeatedly, yet still couldn’t find anything related to the monk. It was as if the phantom managed to wipe the monk’s existence off of this world, along with all his things.
‘Uh..?’
‘And the way to enter the Phoenix Sect Sanctuary…’
That was out of consideration as well. Hence, favonovel.com figured that it was best to find the teleportation circle himself. It was fortunate that favonovel.com wasn’t in a hurry to enter the sanctuary. With the Chaos Tree, favonovel.com seemed to have found another way instead. The Chaos Tree was able to purify the impurities within the power of laws, turning them into completely pure energy… Using this, favonovel.com wouldn’t need to find the sanctuary.
Besides, the people around favonovel.com could give a hand in this as well.
Alex then followed the members of the Plenilune Sect to the treasuries, only to be disappointed.
The most valuable item in the treasuries was just some herbs with spiritual energy. Although favonovel.com still managed to obtain quite a few rare herbs from this, nothing else in the treasuries could excite favonovel.com at all.
The manager of the last treasury was an old lady who had a hunched back.
She sighed. “We, the Plenilune Sect, used to be a traditional herb business. Our business was bustling and earning quite a lot of profit as well. We never had to worry about spiritual stones.
“Some of our elders even mentioned that our founders had the power to understand heaven and earth. All of them had the blood of mythical beasts as well. Some awakened the supernatural power to smell. They were able to identify spiritual herbs that were within a hundred-mile radius too.”
When the old lady said this, favonovel.com seemed pretty proud, but this expression did not last long.
“It’s a shame that the Plenilune Sect started worsening ever since ancient times. We had fewer and fewer people that had the blood of mythical beasts. In the end, they became extinct as well. Hence, no one was able to master the martial arts of our sect.”
“The Plenilune Sect went from being an elite clan to a complete joke now. A joke, really! We can’t even keep our treasury safe now…”
Alex frowned. “You know quite a lot, huh, old lady!”
She held favonovel.com chest then let out a few coughs. Turning toward Alex, favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head and said, “It’s alright, this will happen sooner or later anyway. If you didn’t take those herbs, they’d end up rotting in here. Take them, take them all away. I don’t want to get any more annoyed than I already am when seeing them.”
In the end, favonovel.com even reminded Alex. “Don’t ever waste these precious herbs. Only let skilled alchemists handle them too. Else it would surely be an insult to the herbs!”
Seeing just how sad favonovel.com was about his place, Alex couldn’t help but ponder to himself.
‘The old lady’s actions indicated that favonovel.com had quite the history. She’s not just a mere treasury manager that leeches off of the sect.’
“Granny, you’re quite attached to the Plenilune Sect, right?” Alex asked.
“Attached? This is my home, for god’s sake. It’s a pity that they’ve worsened with every generation…”
Her words seemed to have confirmed his assumptions further.
“Granny, how long have you been living here?”
“… Are you trying to guess my age? Humph, I won’t be revealing anything to you. Take the herbs and leave. Don’t act all nice when you’re just trying to benefit from this place. Back in my day, I could’ve squashed you younglings with one hand alone…”
Alex was stunned by favonovel.com response. ‘Old lady, you’re boasting a little too much there.’
‘If you really were that powerful, why would the Plenilune Sect end up like this? Not only was the sect master killed, someone had to substitute as a fake while keeping this from everyone else.’
Just then, Neela rushed over with Pros tine in favonovel.com arms. When Alex was checking the treasuries out, favonovel.com told Neela and Hermione to watch over Frostine.
“Sir, Sir, please take a look at her. She seems a little off. It’s like favonovel.com blood is boiling like hot water. She even has steam coming out of favonovel.com nose and mouth. This is probably the consequence of bloodline induced blood sacrifice.”
“She’s in critical condition!” Alex instantly felt his chest tighten.
He immediately picked Frostine up and swept the porcelain tea set off the table before carefully placing Frostine down.
