Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 550 Treasure Wasted

If Ding Hao had not shown the power of the rusted sword, maybe the two Demon Emperors would have really started fighting.

After all, they both came from big prestigious clans, with deep roots and trump cards in hand. Even though Ding Hao showed a formidable power in the previous battles, it was not enough to convince them to retreat. However, they hesitated ever since Ding Hao broke the transparent shield and showed the supreme power contained in the rusted sword. If they fought openly, it was hard to tell who would win.

The little fat man, Ren Xiaoyao, was also a little confused and shocked.

His original plan was to hand in his storage ring and things along those lines if everything else failed. Precious as the treasures were, they would stop being valuable if no one was alive to use them. The most important thing at the moment was to keep his and Ding Hao’s lives. But then, judging on the current situation, Senior Brother Ding Hao feared none of those Great Demon Royals…

What shocked him more was that the two Demon Royals were wary of Ding Hao; they even hesitated to make a move!

“When did Senior Brother Ding become so powerful?“He doesn’t even care about the Demon Royals?

“Did I miss out on some good news in the past six months while I was trapped in this herb garden?”

Ren Xiaoyao, who gradually understood the situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in no hurry to hand over the storage space.

“Song Que, what do you say? Is this how the Human Clan does things? It’s too overbearing!” The Demon Royal of the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon looked at the big fatty Song Que.

“Damn you, what can I say? Of course, I am on my good brother Ding Hao’s side. Your Demon Clan has always been overbearing. Why can’t the Human clan do the same?” Song Que laughed loudly and said sarcastically, “Ding Hao is right. If you disagree, then come and fight me!”

This big fatty also happened to be one who yielded to neither force nor persuasion.

Without saying a word, Bai Quanshui from the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect moved next to Ding Hao, standing side by side, showing his position.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Finally, a rift broke the peace between the two big clans. A fierce battle seemed inevitable.

The two Demon Royals and the supreme masters of other Demon Clans were all weighing in their hearts whether Ren Xiaoyao had really obtained the ultimate magic herb in the past six months, and whether this fierce battle was necessary or not.

However, at this time, Ren Xiaoyao—who had been treated as a piece of fresh meat on a chopping board—suddenly turned his eyes and walked to the fat Song Que to whisper some information.

“F*ck you! Why didn’t you tell me earlier…” Song Que let out a cry of surprise. He immediately turned around and ran deep into the herb garden like a frightened fat rabbit.

“Hey? Big brother…” Lin Tianyu said as he chased after him with several other brothers. He was clueless as to why his big brother acted like a lunatic.

This sudden turn of events baffled the supreme masters of the Demon Clan.

“What did you say to him?” Ding Hao frowned and asked.

“Oh,” the little fat man said carelessly, “I just told him that a few plants that have transformed into magic herbs can be found in the depths of the herb garden…”

Ding Hao was stunned and asked, “You didn’t lie to him, did you?”

The little fat man said somewhat regretfully, “Of course I didn’t lie to him. There are indeed a few plants that have become magic herbs. They have transfigured and accumulated their own wisdom. They are very tricky. My power is too weak that I spent nearly half a year to catch them to no avail, so I simply let this fat dude try his luck. Anyway, I saw him come forward to help us. He should be a good person… Hey? Hey? Don’t go, Senior Brother Ding, wait for me!”

Before the little fat man could finish, he looked up and found that the others had also disappeared.

Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, was already drooling out of anger and was the first to rush out.

Then, the supreme masters of the Demon Clans and the Human Clan immediately hurtled toward the place where Fatty Song had run to.

Even Ding Hao was chased down by Ji Yingqi, frowning.

The little fat man followed him immediately.

The crowd soon came to the center of the herb garden.

There stood a white stone statue in the image of a warrior holding a sword. The carving, however, was not very delicate, showing only a rough outline. It wasn’t clear whether the statue was a demon or a human. The statue was more than two meters high, and beside it was a clear spring. The spring water was like an elixir, slowly flowing, emitting a curious herbal fragrance as it nurtured this herb garden…

The big fatty, Song Que, jumped directly into the mouth of the spring and gulped down the spring water while using various storage space containers to store water.

“Dammit, it’s the Taiyi True Water… Damn fatty, come out quickly. You’ve ruined this pond of divine water…”

Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, recognized the origin of the spring water, and his eyes turned red. With a splash, he plunged into the water and gulped down. He also opened the space bag on his belly and poured the water into it desperately.

Taiyi True Water was a well-known treasure on top of the list of the Divine materials in the Northern Region.

According to legend, it could not only heal serious injuries and increase one’s strength, but it could also refine many rare magic pills together with other herbs. It could even be used to refine weapons. It was extremely versatile. In the outside world, this kind of magic material was almost extinct. Even those superpowers might not have such treasures.

Thump!

Water splashed as the masters of the two clans jumped into the water like dumplings.

If it weren’t for the pressure in the herb garden, which made it impossible to use the magical powers of Qi and Demon Aura, all the masters would have taken the divine water directly. They had no choice but to use the most primitive method, to drink as much as they could, and then store as much water as possible.

Witnessing this, without thinking much, Ding Hao was about to jump into the water. There was no way that he would watch the water being taken away by others. In the outside world, a drop of Taiyi True Water was enough to make a Martial Emperor fight for it. At this time, he would be a fool if he didn’t collect much. But before he could, he was grabbed by Ren Xiaoyao who rushed over.

“Senior Brother Ding, please don’t go down!” The little fat man whispered furtively.

“Hm? Why?” Ding Hao was stunned. Was there any extreme danger in the spring?

The little fat man smiled flatteringly and whispered to Ding Hao.

Ding Hao’s face suddenly darkened. “What? You drop sh*t and pee in this spring?”

The little fat man said with a bitter face, “There’s no other way. This herb garden is only about three or four miles wide. When I first came here, I ate too many magic materials and medicines. I wasn’t used to it so my stomach was upset by this. I crapped everything I ate. It was just too much, so I had to take it to the spring. If I had dumped it in the herb garden, it would have turned into a sh*t pit…”

Ding Hao was speechless.

Why were fatties so obnoxious? Song Que was like this, and Ren Xiaoyao was also a crazy one.

Peeing the Taiyi True Water, he should be struck by lightning for wasting such a precious treasure recklessly.

Watching the masters jumping into the pool, gulping Taiyi True Water, Ding Hao could only pray for them in his heart. If these people knew that they were drinking Ren Xiaoyao’s urine and feces, they would spit out their overnight meals right away, and definitely jump out to eat this fat guy alive.

“Hey hey, come with me, Senior Brother Ding, I’ll show you something good…” Ren Xiaoyao pulled Ding Hao.

The two of them quietly retreated.

After about a kilometer to the west, they came to another spring.

Compared with the spring of the Taiyi True Water, the mouth of this spring was much smaller, only the size of a fist. The water formed a basin-sized puddle. This liquid was uncommon. It was jelly-like, fragrance-free, but it reflected a dreamlike color. It trembled slightly and shone dazzlingly.

“This is… Damn it! Taiyi True Water Essence?” Ding Hao was shocked.

This magic object was rarer than ordinary Taiyi True Water. It was the essence of the Taiyi True Water, formed by the accumulation of energy. It was essence purified from the Taiyi True Water. Even if you only took out a drop the size of a rice grain and threw it into an ordinary well, it could turn the water into a spring of divine liquid that could gush out for decades.

Its magic uses were endless.

This time Ding Hao did not hesitate at all and immediately put the Taiyi True Water Essence into his storage ring.

He even dug three feet into the ground, not even letting go of the surrounding sand.

After being nourished by the Taiyi True Water Essence, the sand and mud also had also been imbued with medicinal properties, which meant that they could be used to refine various kinds of elixirs or to change the terrain. If they were brought back to the sect and sprinkled into the herb garden, they could turn a common herb garden into a divine field and probably produce some magic materials and medicines.

After digging out the mouth of the spring of Taiyi True Water Essence, Ding Hao asked, “By the way, where are the magic materials and treasured medicines?”

“There are two plants that have turned into demons. One is Blood Jade King Ginseng, and the other is Sky Hammer Grass. I’ve only seen them a few times in the past six months. These two old guys are even more cunning than foxes. I have thought of many ways, but not only did I fail to catch them, I was also fooled by them… Oh yes, their power is also terrifying. They are proficient in all kinds of escaping techniques. They have no fixed location and are hard to capture. It’s all up to luck to spot them…”

When Ren Xiaoyao talked about these two transformed herbs, he gnashed his teeth in anger.

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of exclaiming and bellowing in the distance.

A blood-red beam and a golden beam flashed up and down in the transparent shield at an extremely fast speed…

“It’s those two guys…!” Ren Xiaoyao shouted.

“Chase them.”

Ding Hao grabbed Ren Xiaoyao. With a bang, he jumped up and flew to the distance.
