Chaos Spirit Field

The great demon was drawn away by the aura of the spirit-nourishing herbs emanating from Liu's body. Demons have a strong sense of territory, so their lair must be empty. If not now, when would they go to search for treasure? Without hesitation, Zhao Shanhe rushed into the dense jungle behind. After all, with the aid of a divine artifact like the Falling Star Disk, finding the great demon's hidden treasure was a piece of cake.

After a long and arduous search, Zhao Shanhe finally arrived at the demon's lair, following the directions indicated by the Falling Star Plate. Without hesitation, he set about collecting various treasures, even the demon's excrement, and cleaned the entire lair spotlessly and in perfect order, his professionalism akin to that of a first-rate housekeeper.

After the great demon left its lair, the entire Wan Yao Mountain erupted in chaos. Wherever it passed, rivers of blood flowed, corpses littered the ground, a scene of horrific horror and heartbreak. Terrified, numerous demon-hunting teams fled in all directions. Zhao Shanhe, cunningly disguised himself, blended in with the fleeing crowd, and returned to the Wan Yao Mountain market. He then used a teleportation array to reach the Qingniu market, and then hurried back to the sect to complain to the elders.

Zhao Shanhe burst into tears the moment he saw Xiao Meir. He sobbed, "Godmother, that deacon from the Mission Hall was relentless in his pursuit, wanting to kill me. Luckily, I was smart enough to escape! You must seek justice for me."

Xiao Mei'er glared at Tan Tai Feng Du in dissatisfaction. She said, "This is all your fault. Why don't you go and deal with that person?"

Zhao Shanhe said embarrassedly, "Godmother, that Liu Quan is being chased by a great demon. I don't think there's any chance of him surviving. There must be someone behind this. Please ask Godfather to find the mastermind behind this."

Tan Tai Feng Du said, "Liu Quan is from Tan Tai Yu Lin. He is a true disciple and has a higher status than me. I'm sorry I can't do anything."

Zhao Shanhe asked in confusion, "Godfather, I have no grudge against Tantai Yulin, why is he targeting me?"

"You're asking questions even though you already know the answer. You're flaunting your skills everywhere and have no idea how to restrain yourself."

Zhao Shanhe said aggrievedly, "Godfather, Mingyue keeps calling me 'husband' and 'husband'. What can I do? Is it too late to cancel the engagement now?"

Tantai Fengdu said grimly, "What do you think?"

Zhao Shanhe said righteously, "Godfather, I am loyal to Mingyue and will never waver. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this. I was just saying this casually."

"Where's Luo Tianshuang?"

"That's the protective measure Godmother took because she's afraid Mingyue and I will taste the forbidden fruit. Godfather, there might be trouble in Wan Yao Mountain. I guess you're busy. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Not long after, Tan Tai Feng was called to the sect for a meeting. When he returned home, Xiao Meir saw that he looked very unhappy, so she asked, "Husband, what happened?"

"Madam, Liu Quan used the spiritual herbs to seduce the great demon, causing a beast tide to erupt in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Many cultivators died, and many sects came to hold me accountable. Some said I was unfair and that this was the cause of the disaster."

"Which bastard is talking nonsense and slandering you like this?"

"The head of the Weapon Hall, Tie Rumian, reportedly had a nephew who died in the beast tide. My father publicly reprimanded me and sent him to the Wan Yao Mountain Market to handle the aftermath."

At this point, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. His father was indeed quite sinister. Thinking back to that time, Tie Ru Mian's expression was just like his name, "Face like Iron."

Xiao Meir smiled and said, "Father-in-law is the one who has a solution. I wonder if that kid Zhao Shanhe still has spiritual herbs. I knew he wasn't honest."

The formation warning of the residence was activated, and Zhao Shanhe came out of the house. Seeing Xiao Meir and Tan Tai Fengdu, he hurriedly saluted.

"Godfather, Godmother, you're here. I was making spiritual food and was just about to ask Mingyue to notify you, but I didn't expect you to come. It's really better to come early than to arrive at the right time. Please come in."

The three of them entered the yard, and Xiao Meir asked, "Shanhe, how many spiritual herbs do you have left?"

"Godmother, I don't have any spiritual herbs."

Xiao Meir grabbed Zhao Shanhe's ear and said, "The sect is looking for the culprit. Do you want to be handed over for a proper trial?"

"Godmother, could you please stop pulling my ears? I'm not a child anymore. Raising spiritual herbs is useless to you. Brother Mingzhu's spiritual roots have already grown to perfection."

Xiao Meir shouted in astonishment, "Zhao Shanhe, you actually brought five spiritual herbs to Wan Yao Mountain? Are you planning to destroy the entire Wan Yao Mountain market?"

Zhao Shanhe quickly explained, "Godmother, there aren't actually that many. These spirit-nourishing herbs are encased in the stone shell of the original stone, which completely blocks their scent. Even if they were placed under Xiao Hei's nose, he wouldn't be able to smell anything, so there's no doubt they'll be fine. I only resorted to this desperate measure because Liu Quan pushed me too hard. I promise I won't do this again."

Xiao Mei'er frowned and asked, "There's going to be a next time? So, you have other spiritual herbs hidden in your hands?"

Zhao Shanhe scratched his head and replied helplessly, "Godmother, there are two more plants left. They are for Xiao Hei to eat. I really can't give them to you."

Xiao Meir warned in a grave tone, "Shanhe, please don't act like this again. Do you know how much trouble this has brought to our sect? By the way, when did Bao'er eat the Spirit Nourishing Grass? Does anyone else know?"

Zhao Shanhe lowered his head and muttered softly, "Godmother, it seemed to be February, but I can't remember the exact date. At that time, Brother Mingzhu came to me crying, saying that Zhang Meili despised his low level of cultivation and asked me to help him think of a solution. So, I secretly put six spirit-nourishing herbs in the spirit food, and he even blamed me for making him sick."

Xiao Meir heard this and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "A few months ago? What you said is not right. Baoer only needs five spiritual herbs to achieve full spiritual root growth. How can it be six?"

Zhao Shanhe said embarrassedly, "Godmother, I'm not worried that the spiritual herbs Xiao Hei cultivated might be defective or not potent enough, so I'd rather eat an extra one just in case."

Xiao Meir was deeply moved by Zhao Shanhe's sincerity. She said, "Shanhe, thank you on Baoer's behalf."

"Godmother, we are all family, why bother with so many things? I see that Brother Mingzhu has lost a lot of weight. He is planning to be my brother-in-law. What do you think we should call each other from now on? He calls me brother-in-law, and I call him brother-in-law too."

Xiao Meir smiled and said, "What's wrong with your head? What else can I call you? Bao'er is my elder brother, and you are my younger brother. You are both my sons."

Zhao Shanhe's words were half-truths. He only had two Spiritual Herbs in his storage bag, and there were still plenty in the Chaos Spiritual Field. He knew that if he made too much noise, someone would ask about it sooner or later, so he made preparations in advance.
