"The supply of pills has been cut by more than half? Why not buy them at the Pill Store? The Wind Fire Sect and Colorful Clouds Valley merged into your sect, so they must have left behind plenty of resources. There's no need to scrimp over a few Spirit Stones."
"I'm not sure, but I heard Senior Sister Li say that before long, we'll be receiving our full allotment of pills and Spirit Stones."
"Then your sect must have bought a huge number of pills! Why would anyone need to hint at something like that?" Shi Yue said dismissively.
Liu He grew anxious at this and hurriedly explained, "Senior Sister Li is the Sect Leader Uncle's personal disciple. She knows a lot of things. If I'm not mistaken, the Taixu Sect will also be merging into our Ancient Sword Sect. If we were buying pills, Senior Sister Li would simply tell me that the sect was purchasing them in bulk."
"The Taixu Sect is merging into your sect? I haven't heard anything about that! Fellow Daoist Liu, you're not pulling my leg, are you?" A hint of displeasure crossed Shi Yue's brow.
"I'm not lying to you. To be honest, Fellow Daoist Li, a few days ago I was ordered to visit various Spirit Grass Stores to purchase Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs. Our Ancient Sword Sect moved to Flying Immortal City over a month ago. The Taixu Sect only just moved here, and now it's buying up and stockpiling Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs on a massive scale? It's clearly targeting the Taixu Sect. Without Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs, how can the Taixu Sect refine pills?"
Liu He suddenly recalled something and continued, "Fellow Daoist Li, don't spread what happened today. If word gets out, the Sect Leader Uncle won't let me off."
