"Take me there!"
Getting off the bed, Wang Junze ordered softly.
"But, senior brother, your injuries..."
"It's nothing, just a bit tired, but it's no longer a major concern," Wang Junze casually explained.
Compared to his own minor injuries, finding a way to deal with that fox demon was more crucial. Otherwise, if the fox demon could wreak havoc in Medicine King Valley today, it could charm people from other sects and families tomorrow, which posed a significant hidden danger.
Coming out of the room, Miao Yu led Wang Junze straight to the medicine garden, where they soon saw the figures of Luo Qingxuan and Sun Yujie.
"You're awake? Just in time to discuss the effects of the Clear Heart Grass. Do you think if the Clear Heart Grass is brewed into a decoction and consumed, it could resist the charm of the fox demon?"
Seeing Wang Junze, Luo Qingxuan directly asked.
"Young Master Wang!"
Sun Yujie wasn't as casual as Luo Qingxuan and quickly stepped forward to pay her respects.
"Master Sun, no need to be so polite. I haven't even thanked you for saving my life," Wang Junze quickly responded with a gesture of courtesy.
"The two of you don't need to be so formal. Let's talk about the main matter," Luo Qingxuan interrupted their polite exchanges without waiting for Sun Yujie's response.
"Clear Heart Grass? Is that the spirit medicine I just consumed?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Wang Junze quickly caught on, saying, "The medicinal effect is strong. Not only can it dispel demon qi, but it also significantly enhances the divine soul. I can't speak for others, but if I were to consume the Clear Heart Grass in advance, even if that fox demon strikes again, I should be able to resist her charm."
"Your strength is already much greater than the average Refining Spirit, and it's not something to be generalized."
Shaking her head, Sun Yujie explained, "I've successfully cultivated the Clear Heart Grass, but the yield is not high. Even with the stimulation of Spiritual Qi, there are less than a hundred plants now, and the later-grown Clear Heart Grass doesn't have as good an effect as the ones brought back from the relics."
"Furthermore, if we want to supply in large quantities, we can only make decoctions with the herbs, which would further dilute the effects... I am not certain about its efficacy."
"No need to be so pessimistic!"
Looking at Sun Yujie, Wang Junze answered softly, "I was greatly affected because the fox demon targeted me with all her might. If she were to target multiple people at once, the effects of the charm wouldn't be so powerful!"
"We are dealing with a specific situation. As long as we are prepared and then consume the decoction, it will surely be effective."
"Besides, to really handle a Transformed Great Demon like this, only experts like Senior Sister Luo can intervene. As for others, as long as they can temporarily stabilize their minds and reduce the influence of the charm, that's enough!"
"Agreed!"
Nodding slightly, Luo Qingxuan concurred, "Passive defense won't work. We still need to think of a way to lure the fox demon out."
"After suffering a setback this time, that fox demon probably won't make any moves in the near future, right?" Sun Yujie couldn't help but ask.
"Not necessarily!"
Luo Qingxuan explained, "It's said to be injured, but in reality, for a Transformed Great Demon, such injuries are just minor. Moreover, Transformed Great Demons are usually very prideful and won't let things go easily."
"In any case, let's make some preparations first. I only have two Clear Heart Grass from the relics left. Give one to Young Master Wang and keep the other as a backup."
After some consideration, Sun Yujie spoke again.
"Alright!"
Nodding, Wang Junze did not refuse and reached out to take one Clear Heart Grass.
While the three of them were talking, a commotion suddenly erupted from afar, drawing everyone's attention.
"What's going on?"
Frowning slightly, Luo Qingxuan immediately turned and walked towards the source of the noise.
"Saintess, Brother Wang!"
Before Luo Qingxuan could ask, Miao Yu stepped forward to explain in a low voice, "Someone just tried to sneak into the medicine garden, but I stopped them."
"What do you mean by 'sneak in'?"
Upon hearing this, several people nearby immediately shouted out, "Is the medicine garden your home? The Saintess already promised to distribute the spirit medicine to everyone. I just wanted to see how much of that Clear Heart Grass is left. After all, the fox demon's charm is so powerful that everyone is scared and wants to make sure there's enough herb to go around."
"Impudent! The allocation of spirit medicine is to be decided by the Saintess and Master Sun. When was it your place to interfere?" Miao Yu reprimanded angrily.
"Yes, you ran away during the day and came back when it was safe. Now you even want to sneak into the medicine garden. Are you trying to steal the spirit medicine?"
In the crowd, many people echoed with scolding.
The spirit medicine was already scarce, and with these people sneaking back, it would just mean less spirit medicine for everyone else. The crowd was already somewhat dissatisfied, and seeing the opposite side exploit further naturally wouldn't be tolerated.
"Fools, other spirit medicines don't matter. The Clear Heart Grass, which can resist the fox demon's charm, is the key!"
The few individuals didn't care about the crowd's attitude at all and jeered again, "I don't care what you think. I, for one, need at least one Clear Heart Grass to feel at ease! Have you forgotten the dreadful state of being charmed by the fox demon during the day? I would rather die than be charmed by the fox demon again."
These words caused some unrest among the crowd.
It was better not to mention it, as recalling the events of the day made everyone anxious. The condition of having one's mind bewitched, not knowing how they died was indeed terrifying to the core.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to speak out rashly, but now, wasn't there someone leading the way?
As long as they kept silent and watched the results, who knows if they might actually get some Clear Heart Grass?
"The quantity of Clear Heart Grass is limited and can't be distributed to everyone, but I have already discussed it with the Saintess. We can use some of the Clear Heart Grass to make a decoction to distribute to everyone," Sun Yujie patiently explained.
"What decoction? With so many people, how effective would the decoction still be? Aren't you just trying to fool us?"
The person who spoke earlier protested loudly again.
What he said didn't sound entirely wrong, just a bit selfish.
For a moment, both Sun Yujie and Luo Qingxuan frowned slightly, unsure of how to respond properly.
"Buzz!"
However, almost simultaneously, a flash of sword light suddenly erupted, and the person causing the most trouble didn't even have time to react before being beheaded with a single sword stroke!
Holding the sword single-handedly, Wang Junze's eyes radiated a cold killing intent as he spoke chillingly, "Since when is it your turn to decide for us?"
Boom!
Seeing the person killed, the crowd suddenly descended into chaos, instinctively retreating a few steps.
However, the accomplice of the one who just died didn't seem intimidated but instead shouted angrily, "Wang Junze, we were just voicing some opinions. Even if you don't want to give the Clear Heart Grass, you can't just kill senselessly, right?"
"Does the Profound Moon Sword Sect casually kill people? Do you still believe in any reasoning?"
