Tang Wulin suppressed his surprise and continued reading.
As expected, yet unexpectedly so, this book discussed the knowledge of medicinal herbs—but it was not limited to herbs alone. It also covered poisons.
The more Tang Wulin read, the more complicated his feelings became. After roughly skimming through it, he set the book down and sighed.
Seeing that he did not seem to be in a very good mood, Huo Yutong asked in surprise,
"What's wrong, Wulin? The knowledge in this book seems quite useful to me."
Tang Wulin shook his head gently.
"It's not that I think it isn't useful. It's precisely because it's so useful that I feel it wasn't fair to Teacher Xiaoya."
"Teacher Xiaoya?" After thinking for a moment, Huo Yutong suddenly understood. "Oh, you think that if they had this book, Teacher Xiaoya wouldn't have had to suffer so much, right?"
"That's right." Tang Wulin confirmed Huo Yutong's guess with a complicated look in his eyes. "If the Medicine Scripture and Poison Scripture hadn't been hidden away and had remained in the Tang Sect from the beginning, then even with the impact of Soul Tool technology, the Tang Sect probably wouldn't have declined to this extent. Teacher Xiaoya and the others wouldn't have had it so hard either."
Judging from what he had just read, if this book had been passed down, the Tang Sect might not have retained its position as the continent's number one sect like it had ten thousand years ago, but it could at least have remained a top-tier pharmaceutical sect.
At the very least, it would not have ended up being wiped out. If Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong had not joined, they might still have been left with only two people even now.
