Shi Xuejun was even more pleased when he heard this. "These two are Earth Grade spirit herbs, and aren't very precious. How much of them can remove all of the baleful aura?"

"Because the baleful aura is too strong, it requires a lot of spirit herbs." The Great Elder said, "Let's make a preliminary estimate. We would need around ten thousand of each kind of spirit medicine to remove the baleful aura from a Myriad Spirit Pill."

"10,000 stalks?" Shi Xuejun was shocked, but after thinking about the Myriad Spirit Pill's terrifying killing intent, he understood.

However, the stock of medicinal herbs in the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace was definitely not enough. Where would she be able to find them in such a short period of time?

The Great Elder nodded. "At least this much."

"Damn." Shi Xuejun was wondering why the three great merchant guilds did not cooperate with the southern border at the time.

If they had the Immortal Beast forest to help, these spiritual herbs would not be a problem at all. Otherwise, no one would be able to get their hands on them right now, no, other than Hua Ruge.

But could she go and work with Hua Ruge?

With the current situation, even if she was willing to lower herself to the nobility, Hua Ruge would most likely not give her any face at all. After all, this was different from the past. Hua Ruge was already qualified to stand against the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace.

But other than Hua Ruge, who else could she look for?

"I'll think of something. Take out our stock and use it." Shi Xuejun said.

"Yes." The Grand Elder retreated.

Soon after, Shi Xuejun called over the deacon, ordering him to secretly purchase the two spiritual medicines. It didn't matter how many he bought, as the main issue was not to be discovered.

She knew that Hua Ruge was always sharp, so she could only be cautious to prevent her from detecting him.

With the order given, the deacon sent people to different parts of the continent to purchase from the Immortal City.

Shi Xuejun thought that if he succeeded in refining one Myriad Spirit Pill, he would be able to gather all of them. After all, these two herbs were not that rare.

Her plan was good, but just on the day that Wen Tian's people from the Pill Palace departed, Shangguan Li received the news.

Although this matter was kept a secret, the thousand plus people sent by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace was not small, so Shangguan Li's subordinates naturally found out about it.

She muttered to herself as Xiao Lan heard her ask, "Pavilion Master, should we inform State Advisor about this as soon as possible?"

"It's not a big deal. Just say that I'll be there in the morning and go to sleep." Shangguan Li said as he put down the jade scroll in his hand and laid down again.

On the second day, Hua Ruge was called over, and handed over the jade slip to her.

After a quick glance, her eyes lit up as she said, "To think that they would be able to think of such a method. It seems like the people from the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace are no pushovers as well."

"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Li asked while eating breakfast.

"All the spirit medicines in the entire continent are controlled by my Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, what waves can they possibly cause?" Hua Ruge placed the jade slip to the side and went over to eat something.

"But we still have to deal with it." Xiao Lan was even more anxious when he saw this.

"It's nothing important. I'll deal with it after I finish eating." Hua Ruge said as he took out a Soup Dumplings from the basket.

"?" Xiao Lan.

She did not understand the reasoning behind the two of them. After all, that was the strongest power on the continent, so at least give them some respect.

Hua Ruge asked as she ate, "The Heaven Seeking Pill Palace knows that there's a spy for my movements. If your people had left behind a tail, it's still too late to retreat."

She was not in a hurry to make a move. Other than not putting the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace in her eyes, she had also given Shangguan Li time to protect his subordinates.

"I've already made the arrangements last night. Don't worry, let's do it." Shangguan Li drank the porridge in his bowl and remained calm and collected.0

Hua Ruge laughed: "Cooperation with you sure is tacit understanding."

The two of them were both extremely intelligent people, so many things were self-evident.

After eating, Hua Ruge went to the merchant guild to inform them that he had to sell a limited number of Scarlet Core Fruits and Dragon Bone Grass. The reason was that these two elixirs were out of stock.

Tang Chuan quickly passed down the orders. The Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce departments were working closely together, and after just half a day, the orders had already been carried out. Thus, those Heaven Seeking Pill Palace disciples who came down to purchase items were stunned.

This was because the only place that could buy a large amount of medicinal herbs was the Nine Prefectures Medicinal Herbs Auction House. Other small shops would not be able to afford them.

The news quickly reached Shi Xuejun's ears. When Shi Xuejun saw the several hundred stalks of spirit herbs and fruits, he trembled in excitement.

How did Hua Ruge find out about this news so quickly?

She calculated the time and was sure that there was a spy within the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, hence she secretly sent people to investigate.

At the same time, she was also thinking of another way.

Right now, it was definitely too late to rely on disciples to harvest them. The only people he could rely on were the Immortal Beast forest or the medicine merchants.

Right now, the medicine merchants and the eastern border would definitely not be able to make it, but maybe the southern border could still negotiate. After all, the southern border had no enmity with the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, and furthermore, they were not close to Hua Ruge.

You can try.

Following that, Shi Xuejun found a deacon who knew how to talk, and went to discuss this with the young master of the Southern Wilderness, Peacock King.

As long as she could obtain these two elixirs, she would be able to offer any price.

After all, the crisis in the Western Sea was of utmost importance right now.

However, the deacon realized that Hua Ruge was almost always with the Peacock King, the two of them were drinking, eating, and shopping, and would only separate at night. The deacon and the Peacock King were simply unable to speak at all.

These words made Shi Xuejun so angry that he almost smashed his own mountain.

This Hua Ruge was indeed cunning, he had already expected them to win over the Peacock King and strike first to gain the upper hand.

After Shi Qingwan heard this, he snorted in disdain, "What a shameless fox spirit, you pounce on me the moment you see a man."

Shi Xuejun looked at her and said: "I believe that it is impossible to deal with ordinary people in Peacock King. You can go."

Although Shi Qingwan's looks and intelligence were slightly worse than Hua Ruge's, this kind of white lotus was very likeable in front of men.

"Yes, mother, I will." Shi Qingwan readily agreed.

She insisted on going against Hua Ruge, since Tuoba Rui was an idiot. Even if she did not go against him, she would not be moved.

The second day, Hua Ruge went to find Peacock King to hang out as usual. After hanging around for a long time, she realized that Peacock King was just a little bit arrogant, in other aspects he was pretty good.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Peacock King changing into a human's clothes, her face full of spirit.

"What is Peacock King doing?" Hua Ruge asked politely.

Peacock King did not directly answer her question. Instead, he walked in front of her and asked: "How is my clothes, does it match up to your Continental's image?"

The clothes were mostly white, and it looked less ostentatious than it used to be, making them even more tasty.
