Chapter 257: Branches Waiting for Shen Sang Ruo to Feed Them

Soul Infant Herb, Moonlight Flower, Profound Sky Lotus, and Spirit’s Tears even lined up neatly in a straight line.

Shen Sang Ruo no longer had any doubts. This was enough to prove how strong her luck was.

Holding the Spirit’s Tears, she could not hide her smile at all.

With this luck, her trip in the Starfield Plain would be rich in gains.

Maybe the troubles of Ninghua Sect and Linglong Pavilion could be solved too.

The boulder above them was about to come down, and Shen Sang Ruo’s heart surged with excitement.

After several deep breaths to calm herself, she reminded herself it was not time to celebrate yet.

“First, gather all the Soul Infant Herb, Moonlight Flower, Profound Sky Lotus, and Spirit’s Tears, and do it fast,” she ordered the little monsters with her.

She did not know where this good luck came from, and it could vanish any moment.

So she had to seize it and collect as many treasures as possible while it lasted.

She sent large amounts of the Hundred Boons Incense materials into the Teleportation Artifact. In the order she found them, she used Teleportation to send them to the open ground outside the Barrier Ward of Ninghua Sect.

Silver white blossoms covered the clearing and even piled up in layers. The sheer quantity of Moonlight Flower drew every eye on the scene.

Before anyone could speak, their view was filled with layered piles of Profound Sky Lotus.

People’s eyes widened: “This…”

Soul Infant Herb appeared next and choked their words back again.

Three kinds of treasures, stacked and stacked, made a shocking sight. The crowd was too stunned to speak.

They came from top sects and from Auction Pavilions. Their experience was vast. What had they not seen?

But a display like this, they truly had not seen.

The earlier Beast Ganoderma was already shocking. Now, in one Teleportation, three whole piles of treasures appeared.
And it had been only about two shichen, roughly four hours, since the Beast Ganoderma arrived. Was the Starfield Plain cramming treasures together?
Was this even reasonable?

[Six hundred sixty six. They were not even pretending anymore.]

They felt dazed. Was this still the Starfield Plain, or was it Shen Sang Ruo’s personal wholesale market?
Where did she find such amounts and such quality?

Liu Ru Yan stared at the three very familiar spiritual plants, then sprang to her feet as a bold guess flashed through her mind. Lowering her voice, she murmured: “No way, right?”

Others soon noticed the same thing: “Hiss, these three… are they the ingredients for Hundred Boons Incense?”

“Looks like it. But one is missing. What was it called again, Spirit’s Tears?”

“Isn’t Spirit’s Tears especially hard to—”

Before that person finished, several big bags of Spirit’s Tears, tied up in transparent gauze, appeared before everyone.

“…”

They gasped. The face slap came fast.

Liu Ru Yan yelped: “Spirit’s Tears! Hundred Boons Incense!”

She dove straight into the treasure piles. In that instant, she finally understood how Yuan Jin had felt.

She cried out with wild devotion: “Sang Ruo Little Sister, no, Sang Ruo Elder Sister! From today on, you are my one and only big sis!”

Fang Yu, still in the Starfield Plain, had no idea his Sang Ruo sis had just gotten a huge seniority upgrade.

Liu Ru Yan took a deep breath of the mixed fragrance, face dreamy and dazed with joy.

With these materials, she could turn the whole Cultivation World into confused fools. She would surely restore the Joyous Union Sect’s glory.

The sudden appearance of Spirit’s Tears made everyone except the Ninghua Sect members and Li Qing Wen wear increasingly strange looks.

Others who had entered the Starfield Plain were finding scattered single treasures at most.
But Shen Sang Ruo found them by the field, and they even matched as a set, letting her gather all the ingredients at once.

Several Auction Pavilion Masters were full of regret. If only they had partnered with Ninghua Sect. Who turns down money?

Who could have guessed Ninghua Sect had someone like Shen Sang Ruo, who could lift both Ninghua Sect and Linglong Pavilion by herself?

They looked at Li Qing Wen with open envy. Just those Beast Ganoderma alone were enough to cover all of Linglong Pavilion’s losses.

But soon their faces would go numb.

They would learn this was only Shen Sang Ruo’s basic operation.

A few hours later, Shen Sang Ruo’s mark appeared again, and everyone guessed what kind of treasure would arrive this time.

As the Teleportation glow faded, several piles showed again.

One pile of Snowcloud Wool. One pile of Qingtan Wood, each piece as thick as a wrist. One pile of Ancient Ink Paulownia, each trunk thick enough that two arms could barely encircle it.

“Our stuff, our stuff, our Talisman Branch’s stuff!” The Talisman Branch Elder recognized materials for talisman making at a glance and rushed out to claim them.

Snowcloud Sheep are mutated from ordinary sheep Demonic Beasts. The chance to mutate is tiny. Their wool is snowy and cloudlike, perfect for making brushes for Talisman Drawing.

But Snowcloud Sheep are timid. If startled, they scatter at once, so it is very hard to gather their wool.

Shen Sang Ruo happened to run into a flock of Snowcloud Sheep, and they happened to be shedding.

She had just lifted her foot to approach when the sheep dashed off in a line, leaving the ground covered with shed wool.

So she accepted the Snowcloud Wool with tears in her eyes.

Qingtan Wood has bark with great toughness. Talisman Paper made from Qingtan Wood bark can strengthen a talisman’s power.

A single blank sheet of Qingtan Wood Talisman Paper is pricey.

Usually Qingtan Wood grows only as thick as a thumb, yet the Qingtan Wood she Teleported back was as thick as a wrist.

Qingtan Wood has the trait that half its trunk is bark.

Even if they used Qingtan Wood Talisman Paper for daily practice sheets, this pile was enough for Ninghua Sect’s Talisman Branch to use for decades.

There was also Ancient Ink Paulownia. Burn it to charcoal and mix with other materials to make top tier ink for Talisman Crafting.

Brush, ink, and paper were gathered all at once, all top grade, and the quantities were as bold as ever, perfectly matching Shen Sang Ruo’s style.

The Elder laughed and cried, hugging the wood: “Having the Young Sect Master is a blessing for us all! Hahahahaha! Wuwuwuwu!”

Back when they were a small sect, where would they have seen such fine goods?
And so, Ninghua Sect went a little crazy again.

By now the crowd was almost used to it.

The Talisman Branch Elder was grinning so hard his cheeks hurt, and he told everyone he met: “Yes, how did you know I am from Ninghua Sect, and how did you know Sang Ruo is our Young Sect Master?”

Even when no one said anything to him, he would volunteer: “Right, Snowcloud Wool, Qingtan Wood, and Ancient Ink Paulownia, we have all of them. Our Young Sect Master gave them to us.”

He wished he could grab a loudspeaker and shout it to the whole Cultivation World.

People began to avoid him on sight.

By this time, three Ninghua Sect branches had received their exclusive treasures: the Beast Taming branch, the Joyous Union branch, and the Talisman Branch.

Members of the other branches bit their little handkerchiefs and stared at the piled up treasure area, waiting for Shen Sang Ruo to feed them too.

[Sob sob sob, Young Sect Master, we want some as well.]
