Pack It All Up and Take It Away, Away, Away!
In Northbank City, Qi Feng, who had just woken up, remained silent and expressionless after hearing the message from the Message Talisman. He stood by the window, gazing out of the Inn for a long time without saying a word.
He went to bed quite late last night.
I've been thinking about how he would get through this difficult time if he were Chen Fan.
I had just woken up when I received a request for help from Chen Fan.
He initially thought the other party wanted Medicine King Valley to intervene, but it turned out they were asking about some pharmacological knowledge. At first, he thought they had discovered a wild medicinal herb in Nameless Mountain.
This is normal.
It's perfectly normal to find some wild medicinal herbs in such a large mountain area.
Until the variety of things the other person mentioned became increasingly mixed.
He only realized it belatedly.
When Chen Fan said he was at the Pill Sect Herb Garden, he was completely stunned and didn't know what to say. The worldview he had built up over the years seemed to collapse at that moment.
Pill Sect Herb Garden?
How did you get there?
Could it be that the Pill Sect invited Chen Fan to visit? That's impossible.
That leaves only one possibility, which is not possible.
Just then--
Elder Xu pushed open the door and entered, saying softly, "Young Master, there's an urgent message from Medicine King Valley. Your Message Talisman is busy, and we can't reach you."
"The first piece of news is that the Mortal Sect has officially changed its name to the Mortal Domain."
"The second piece of news is that, a short while before the Incense Stick, the Mortal Domain dispatched a flying Horse-Drawn Carriage to launch an indiscriminate bombardment of the Pill Sect City. The Pill Sect... was massacred, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, not a single survivor should remain."
"The Image Recording Stone recording the scene is being rushed over."
"The Valley Master has ordered us to immediately increase our stakes, cultivate good relations with the Mortal Domain, and establish a friendly cooperative relationship."
After a long silence, Qi Feng finally said in a hoarse voice, "I understand. The Message Talisman in my hand hasn't been disconnected yet."
"Domain Lord Chen, the Pill Sect has a considerable amount of medicinal herbs, but harvesting them is quite laborious."
"Medicine King Valley is not far from the Pill Sect. If needed, Medicine King Valley can send people to help you harvest and transplant medicinal herbs, without expecting anything in return."
Chen Fan's laughter soon came through the Message Talisman, sounding exactly the same as yesterday.
That would be excellent.
"Then thank you very much for Medicine King Valley's assistance."
After hanging up the Message Talisman.
Qi Feng turned to look at Elder Xu: "Send the message back to Medicine King Valley, and have Father send the First Elder to personally lead his disciples to help... clean up the battlefield."
At that moment, he felt somewhat dazed.
Having been enemies with the Pill Sect Medicine King Valley for so long, the sudden news of the Pill Sect left them somewhat bewildered.
So fast?
Yesterday Slaying the Pill Sect Young Master, and today you're storming the Pill Sect itself? Are you in such a hurry to go home and eat Dumplings the day after tomorrow?
The entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei of the Yangtze River.
All the major powers that could be named received the message, some quickly and some slowly, and remained silent. They hadn't expected this power, which had risen during the Rainy Season, to act in such a brutal and ruthless manner.
The Pill Sect is gone.
The entire city was slaughtered by the Mortal Domain in the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn.
"So many high-level Alchemist are gone just like that, what a huge loss that is!"
In Jiangnan, an Elderly Man from a powerful faction sat by the window, lost in thought. He had just received an order from the Pill Sect to put pressure on the Mortal Domain, and then the Pill Sect was destroyed. The feeling brought by these two successive Message Talisman was extremely bewildering.
"Um..."
Trusted Aide subordinate asked Subordinate a low voice, "Should we continue to put pressure on the Mortal Domain?"
The Elderly Man looked expressionlessly at his Trusted Aide: "If you're mentally ill, go get it treated."
"Understood."
The Trusted Aide hurriedly nodded in agreement, but inwardly he thought to himself, "How dare they act on their own whims if the orders aren't clearly stated? It's so annoying; it's such a hassle to get things straight."
"Good."
Standing in the ruins of Pill Sect City, Chen Fan looked at the endless array of medicinal herbs deep in the herb garden, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. There were quite a few of them; they could fetch some money.
The bombing was just too thorough.
Many medicinal herbs were blasted to pieces, which is a pity.
"King Mazi, you take Big Fish and transplant all the Exotic Plant and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the medicinal herb garden into the Horse-Drawn Carriage. The rest of the herbs will be sent by Medicine King Valley."
"Zhou Mo, take Little Qiu to those high-value buildings as soon as possible, such as the Book Repository, and take away all the valuable items. Then, Qi Chong, go to that big city next door, hire some casual laborers, and have them loot the low-value buildings like the collapsed disciples' residences nearby."
"Only two hours."
"Time is running out, everyone need to step up their game."
"We must leave Jiangnan before nightfall, lest Jiangnan Rainy Season arrives tonight and we are trapped here."
"Yes!"
After giving all the instructions, Chen Fan once again maneuvered the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot to land at the breach in the City. He didn't stay in the City ruins for too long, and he handed over the Jadeite Ring, a protective Exotic Treasure that could sense killing intent, to Zhou Mo.
If a surviving high-level Cultivator were to suddenly emerge from the ruins and strike him, he might die.
It's safer to stay in the Horse-Drawn Carriage outside the city.
After all, if Zhou Mo and the others die, he can take them back for treatment, or at the very least, take revenge.
But if he dies, the Mortal Domain will immediately disband, and everyone will die.
He stayed in the ruins, and Zhou Mo had to consider his safety. Only if he stayed in a safe location could Zhou Mo and the others feel more at ease to loot.

The Crippled Monkey hoisted the large box onto its shoulder and rushed into the collapsed Book Repository next to it, stuffing all the Bamboo Slip slips inside into the box without even looking at their names, taking them all with it.
Detailed Guide to Medicinal Materials.
"Cultivation Pill Formula."
"The Feign Death Pill Formula."
"The Heart-Piercing Spear Technique"
"Secluded Movement Technique"
"Evergreen Cultivation Manual."
"..."
All sorts of alchemical formulas, Cultivation Manual, and sword techniques, including fragments of ancient books, Pill Sect Development Log, etc., are all packed up and taken away!
"Bang!"
The sick Monkey One over a looted wooden frame, then rushed to another collapsed wooden frame next to it, and like a bandit, stuffed all the Bamboo Slip scattered on the ground into the box.
"Um?"
He suddenly realized something, squatted down and touched the material of the wooden frame. It felt like something good. He decided to have the temporary workers he had hired pack it all up and take it away. Maybe there was something good hidden inside.
"Found it!"
Just then--
The Wang Family Head was also busy at work, lifted a painting hanging on the wall and looked at a dent in a Token on the wall. A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. "Crippled Monkey, there's Secret Chamber here. I knew the Book Repository would have Secret Chamber; the real treasures are inside."
Monkey gave the old man a slightly strange look. To put it bluntly, he felt that this guy could be his grandfather, so why did he call him "Brother Monkey" so naturally?
But he didn't say much more.
He took out the Pill Sect Master's Token from his pocket and pressed it onto the notch.
The wall in front of them quickly opened.
A Stone Steps led down into an underground passage, not long. He walked in front, with the Wang Family Head behind him. At the end of the passage was a basement filled with boxes.
At a glance, there were more than a dozen heavy boxes.
The monkey pried open the lock of a box, and the light emitted by countless Eerie Stone instantly illuminated the entire basement.
"Call..."
Seeing this, the Crippled Monkey took a deep breath before turning around and shouting through the tunnel, "Someone come here! There's a big catch!"
It has to be said.
Finding Secret Chamber is something only the Wang Family Head can do, since he was once the head of a family and must have built Secret Chamber.
Zhou Mo, wielding Great Knife, strode towards the ruins of a building. A broken wooden plaque beside it indicated that the building was a "Treasure Pavilion." The collapse here was quite severe, and all the Exotic Treasure were buried under the rubble.
It needs to be dug out of the ruins.
Fortunately, he is now Level-Three Cultivator, and his physical condition is much better than before. He rolled up his sleeves and began digging through the ruins.
They then placed the various Exotic Treasure into the boxes next to them.
This is tiring work.
But he didn't feel tired.
"One Exotic Treasure, two Exotic Treasure, wow, a whole box of Exotic Treasure..."
"Damn, the Pill Sect's mother is really rich!"
Not long after.
Dozens of Horse-Drawn Carriage pulled by Skeleton Horse sped from the distance of the plain and soon stopped at the breach in the Pill Sect City. An Elderly Man dressed in a white robe with an embroidered Pill Furnace pattern on his chest, leading hundreds of disciples behind him, strode to the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, looked at Chen Fan sitting on the Dragon Chariot, and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting.
"I am Qi Yishi, the Medicine King Valley Master."
"Greetings, Domain Lord the Mortal Domain Realm"
Before he arrived, he already knew that the Horse-Drawn Carriage Chen Fan was driving was extraordinary, but the Image Recording Stone had not yet been delivered to him. When he saw the Horse-Drawn Carriage with his own eyes, he still could not hide the shock in his heart.
It was far superior to the Horse-Drawn Carriage behind him.
They're not even in the same league.
It looked like he was traveling to a "Sacred Ground," and his aura was much stronger than his.
"Valley Master Qi."
Chen Fan jumped down from the Dragon Chariot, clasped his hands in greeting to the Elderly Man before him, and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Medicine King Valley is a sacred Sacred Ground for alchemy practitioners in Jiangnan. Seeing it today, I am amazed by the magnificent presence of the disciples in the valley. I know that its great reputation is well-deserved."
"Domain Lord Chen is too kind."
The smile on Valley Master Qi's face deepened. He naturally didn't take such polite words too seriously, but he learned from his son that Chen Fan Slaying the Pill Sect Young Master in front of everyone yesterday, and had attacked the Pill Sect again today.
He thought he would be the kind of person with an extremely Violence personality and difficult to get along with.
We met today.
He seems quite easygoing, not at all like someone who would suddenly erupt in anger. Now it seems the Pill Sect Young Master really went too far. As long as he's not the kind of person who's quick to criticize everyone and has unpredictable temper, it wouldn't be so difficult to get along with him.
"I had long heard from my My Son that Domain Lord Chen was an exceptional talent, one in a million. Slaying the Wraith King Rainy Season to protect the safety of Jiangbei. I have always admired him, and today I have finally met him, which has fulfilled my wish."
As the saying goes, the more people praise each other, the higher they rise.
While such polite words may not have much value, they can still establish a good atmosphere for conversation when two people meet for the first time.
After a few polite exchanges...
"The Pill Sect Herb Garden is inside; I'll have to trouble the disciples of Medicine King Valley."
"No trouble at all."
Valley Master Qi hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the First Elder to lead the disciples into the ruins of the Pill Sect to transplant medicinal herbs. Only then did he stand beside the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and continue chatting and laughing with Chen Fan Trade Association front of a group of onlookers.
Not long after.
The Crippled Monkey and his companions carried large boxes to the front of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and kept stuffing them into the carriage.
Standing to the side, Valley Master Qi was slightly envious. The Pill Sect was gone too quickly. All its resources were useless and left to Chen Fan. Normally, when two forces go to war, by the time one force is defeated, its resources are almost exhausted. Even if they win, there's not much left.
Unless like...
That's how the Pill Sect.
He died too quickly; he left all his belongings in the Mortal Domain.
But he quickly realized something was wrong. This Horse-Drawn Carriage seemed to have unlimited space; how could it hold so many boxes?
"Domain Lord Chen, you..."
"Oh, this Horse-Drawn Carriage is called the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot. It has Heaven and Earth inside, and the space is a bit larger, so it can carry more."
"I see."
Valley Master Qi withdrew his gaze from the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot with a hint of envy. He was quite the actor; he wanted to play along too. "This... do you have any left over for sale?"
"There is none left."
Chen Fan shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a one-of-a-kind item. However, after the Jiangnan Rainy Season ends, the Mortal Domain will officially open to foreign trade. There will be an Auction at that time, and perhaps there will be something that Medicine King Valley will be interested in. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"Of course I'll come."
Valley Master Qi said solemnly, "Domain Lord Chen, rest assured, I will definitely attend."
Of course I'll go.
The Pill Sect has so many good things that are suitable for his Medicine King Valley, so he definitely wants to buy some of them.
The two chatted happily.
Qi Chong had already recruited a large number of casual laborers from the neighboring City, totaling nearly a thousand people, who were scattered throughout the ruins of the Pill Sect, such as the disciples' dormitories, and began to plunder them extensively.
Take everything of value with you.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot has enough space to carry everything.
"It's just a bit of a shame about this City Wall."
Chen Fan stood beside the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, looking at the City Wall in front of him with a bit of regret. The small city of the Pill Sect was not built within the Natural Eerie Fire Zone, but rather was a territory supported by several Eerie Fire. The most core Eerie Fire had already been destroyed.
These City Wall have also begun to crack, and it won't be long before all the buildings constructed by Builder in this city completely fail and crumble.
This City Wall must have used up quite a few Eerie Stone to build.
He had assumed that the Pill Sect would have some anti-aircraft capabilities.
Unfortunately, there isn't any.
Only a few advanced Cultivator unleashed their Martial Technique at the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot in the air, but unfortunately, they couldn't reach it at all. As for the Cannon Tower, they were even less likely to hit them. The Camp height provided by the Eerie Fire was only 50 meters, and the Cannon Tower couldn't hit enemies outside the Camp's range.
This incident also served as a wake-up call for him.
We need to find a way to develop some anti-air capabilities.
So that if someone treats him like that in the future, he won't have any means to retaliate.
The days of plundering are always joyful but short-lived.
Especially looting from ruins.
Soon.
The entire ruins of the Pill Sect were nearly dug up, and all the corpses were cut into 18 pieces, gathered together, and burned.
"Domain Lord Chen, what is this...?" Valley Master Qi was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene.
Chen Fan chuckled and said, "I feel a little guilty about seeing them off, lest they become food for Strange Entities tonight."
"Domain Lord Chen is extremely kind."
Valley Master Qi bowed respectfully with an expression of admiration, but a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew that the Pill Sect could refine Feign-Death Pill, but in this situation...
Let alone the Feign-Death Pill.
Even the most famous Resurrection Pill the Pill Sect couldn't save him.
