"In that case, do as you please then..."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade these people, Chen Liang gave up helplessly, "All disciples of the Tian Nan Sect stay, as for the others... those who wish to stay can continue to stay; if you want to leave... please go ahead!"
"Farewell!"
"Farewell..."
Imdiately, there was a series of such voices, and the number of people in the team quickly decreased.
Within just a few minutes, the number dropped sharply from more than twenty to just seven or eight, losing more than two-thirds.
Among those who remained were only Chen Liang, Ling Fei, Fang Lin, Qin Fang, and a skilled man nad Cao and his two disciples... only a total of seven people, and everyone else had left.
However, those who stayed turned out to be the strongest combination from the Tian Nan Sect camp... including the three top experts on the surface, even Master Cao's two disciples had strength comparable to Fang Lin, reaching the Grandmaster Level.
"Senior Brother Cao, aren't you leaving with them?"
When everyone had left, Chen Liang sighed helplessly, glanced at Master Cao, and casually asked.
"It's more secure when there are more people..."
Master Cao smiled with a calm deanor, but his gaze shifted past Chen Liang and landed on Qin Fang.
This Master Cao, over fifty years old, was truly cunning with age. He had previously suspected that the Tian Nan Sect had a trump card... but after the commotion, everyone else had left, leaving only the people from the Tian Nan Sect.
Chen Liang and Ling Fei were naturally trustworthy and had been friends for many years, understanding each other's capabilities well...
Fang Lin was of the younger generation, with decent skills, but Master Cao had noticed Fang Lin's moves earlier, only at the early stage of Grandmaster Level, not particularly remarkable...
Through a simple process of elimination, all suspicions naturally focused on Qin Fang, the mysterious young individual with an enigmatic identity.
He had been paying attention to Qin Fang earlier, whether it was killing those Japanese, or during the scramble for rare herbs, Qin Fang seed composed, unfazed by it all.
Furthermore, Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and the others had a rather peculiar attitude towards Qin Fang... though they tried hard to conceal it, he still spotted so anomalies.
Because of this, while others rushed to leave, only Master Cao stayed with his two disciples... in fact, his two disciples wanted to persuade Master Cao to act alone, but Master Cao stopped them with a look.
Upon hearing Master Cao's response, Chen Liang smiled knowingly and didn't say much more, but walked to Qin Fang, smiling bitterly, and said, "Uncle Master, we must have seed ridiculous to you..."
Just this one sentence instantly changed the expression on the faces of Master Cao and his two disciples... especially Master Cao, looking utterly shocked.
Although he had guessed that Qin Fang's identity and skills were not simple, he had not expected that Qin Fang, younger than Fang Lin, held such a high seniority... considering he was of the sa generation as Chen Liang and Ling Fei, Master Cao might indeed need to address Qin Fang as Uncle Master.
To call a young man in his twenties as Uncle Master, even in the Martial World where age mattered less, was still hard for Master Cao to accept.
"Everyone has their own ambitions... since they've dispersed, let it be so!"
Qin Fang, however, wasn't bothered by Master Cao's reaction, simply smiling and waving it off, saying, "Let's skip the small talk and head into the island... if there are decent herbs on the outskirts, there might well be Spiritual dicine inside..."
"Spiritual dicine..."
Upon hearing this term, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim, their breathing becoming noticeably heavier.
People like Chen Liang and the other Tian Nan Sect disciples had only heard of Spiritual dicine as legendary treasures and never dared to expect possessing them... with a Sect as small as theirs, it was impossible to have any, not even a crumb of it.
But with Qin Fang's ntion, their spirits were instantly lifted, their eyes igniting with fervor as if the Spiritual dicine were right in front of them.
In fact, Qin Fang had been observing since setting foot on this Little Island.
Perhaps due to a flaw in the formation, this Little Island appeared to the world, and a lot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was leaking out, yet it remained exceptionally abundant... even more so than the Mystic Realm Qin Fang had found.
Moreover, this Little Island must have been deserted for many years, three hundred, five hundred, a thousand years could all be possible...
Such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, yet it's been deserted for hundreds or even thousands of years. It's very likely to nurture extrely rare herbs here, possibly including spiritual dicine...
Just now, Qin Fang used a secret technique from the Thousand Gate to observe the Qi, and discovered a very peculiar air stream deep inside the little island. To be precise, it's a rich and sowhat strange flow of spiritual energy... Upon seeing this, the first thought that crossed Qin Fang's mind was... there must be spiritual dicine there!
"I can't guarantee if there's truly spiritual dicine... But, even if it isn't spiritual dicine, at the very least, it's semi-spiritual dicine!"
Seeing the reactions of a few people, Qin Fang couldn't help but add a little, slightly modifying his previous words...
Even though Qin Fang had pretty much made up his mind about this, he couldn't afford to incite these few people too much. Otherwise, they might actually do sothing very irrational... The principle of people dying for wealth and birds dying for food hasn't changed much to this day.
For the sake of a single spiritual dicine, these few wouldn't fear anything...
"Even semi-spiritual dicine will do... that itself is a priceless treasure!"
However, even with Qin Fang giving a slight discount, it still made these guys drool... their eyes were practically turning green.
"Let's go..."
Qin Fang didn't have the heart to despise these "country bumpkins" who've never seen the world. He rely sighed lightly, then led the group deeper into the jungle, heading directly toward where the spiritual dicine might appear.
Spiritual dicines are indeed rare treasures, but Qin Fang's demand for them isn't very strong, they're even dispensable for him...
Qin Fang himself already has the Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva, an ordinary low-grade spiritual dicine Lingyuan Grass, and a Snow Bodhi with effects comparable to superior spiritual dicine... which ans he already possesses three types of spiritual dicine, and naturally wasn't as impulsive as others for more.
Chen Liang and the others, on the other hand, are different. Tian Nan Sect is considered a top-notch sect on the little island, but it's much weaker when placed in the inland; and regarding the whole of Asia, it's even more insignificant...
Quite a number of mighty great sects don't even possess a single spiritual dicine, so how could Tian Nan Sect possibly have one?
Thus, it's not surprising that Chen Liang and his folks haven't seen much of the world; the "world" is indeed hard to see... Now that there's finally such an opportunity, how could they possibly give it up?
If they could bring this spiritual dicine back to their sect, it would undoubtedly be unimaginable rit!
Of course, even if it's just semi-spiritual dicine, it's already a priceless treasure for the Tian Nan Sect... They would absolutely be overjoyed!
"Fortune Fruit, Eternal Life Vine, Wolf Tooth Grass... Tsk tsk, this little island indeed has countless treasures! It truly deserves to be an ancient relic lost for hundreds of years..."
A group of seven advanced deeper into the little island, encountering nurous herbs that are extrely rare in the outside world. Qin Fang and his folks naturally wouldn't miss them, harvesting them all without hesitation.
Qin Fang naturally targeted the most precious herbs. He needs to concoct the Hundred Herbs Elixir, Tiger's Roar Pill, and several other special elixirs, requiring quite a lot of materials. He wasn't interested in common herbs, but for so extrely rare herbs, Qin Fang wouldn't miss them.
Even Chen Liang and the others picking up the "leftovers" Qin Fang leaked through his fingers were enough to make them all smile broadly... Each person managed to get hold of no less than three to five precious treasures.
"It's really great to follow Uncle..."
Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and Master Cao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Master Cao was initially bothered by Qin Fang's seniority issue, but within such a short ti, he was already calling Qin Fang "Uncle" alongside Chen Liang and the others. If he wasn't afraid of seeming too abrupt, he would have asked Qin Fang if he was accepting disciples.
After all, his sect was rely a small one, and not a single grandmaster-level expert had appeared there in countless years...
And after probing Chen Liang indirectly, he learned that despite Qin Fang's young age, his strength was incredibly formidable. He had already entered the grandmaster-level realm that Master Cao dared not even hope for in his lifeti... and it wasn't impossible for Qin Fang to eventually advance to the Great Grandmaster Level.
If he could beco the disciple of such a great expert, it would surely be much better than staying in his barely-surviving sect...
It's a pity that despite his efforts in trying to curry favor with Qin Fang, Qin Fang seed sowhat distracted. Unless confronted with precious treasures, Qin Fang's facial expression hardly showed any significant changes.
Even upon finding treasures, it's Qin Fang who goes over to inspect first; if they're satisfactory he takes them, if not, they're left to Chen Liang and the others to distribute equally...
Having such a great expert like Qin Fang around ant encountering no danger, contrary to the ease with which they acquired treasures, almost like picking them for free! No wonder they kept exclaiming how delightful it was to follow Qin Fang...
"Not so good..."
However, Chen Liang and the others would never have guessed that even though Qin Fang and his folks had acquired nurous treasures along the way, Qin Fang's heart grew increasingly anxious, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"Entering the inner island's range soon, everyone be careful..."
However, Qin Fang didn't say much more to Chen Liang and the others, rely giving them a simple reminder.
