"Yes. According to Elder Sharp, this Sect-protecting Array of our FlHoly Land does not only possess a powerful defensive effect
against the enemy but also can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Once the protection array is completely repaired and utilized, this place will no longer be a boundless desert.
Soon, it will turn into an oasis filled with spiritual energy. Isn't that what we want?"
Elder Brendan said excitedly. His eyes were beaming with joy as he spoke.
"That's great!" Austin was glad too.
The sheer happiness from what the elder said was contagious. He was thrilled because of it.
"Did Elder Sharp tell you when he can completely repair the array?"
Austin asked curiously.
"Elder Sharp thinks it will take a few more months.
However, our FlHoly Land's biggest problem right now is that we lack cultivation resources.
We had worked hard in the past few decades to rebuild the FlHoly Land of the sect. Because of that, we had accumulated a
large amount of cultivation resources.
However, the repair of the sect protecting array had consumed a lot of resources.
So, | almost used up all the resources at hand.
Even the Earth Hermit had provided most of his life savings for us to repair the array.
Thankfully, the five natural vessels of dragon energy Elder Sharp have extracted from your body have been set up as a Five-dragon
Energy Gathering Array. It is enough for those disciples to use temporarily.
Yet, it would not work if the situation kept going on like this for a long time.
| have to figure out a way to collect more resources for practice."
Elder Brendan responded thoughtfully.
Elder Brendan, the chief elder, already perceived Austin as a high-level leader of the FlHoly Land. He spoke about these
matters to Austin naturally. He was never reluctant to let the young man know about the issues that they were now facing.
Hearing that, Austin nodded. However, his face still formed into a frown as he thought about what the elder said.
In order to perform the resurrection for Elder Sharp, Austin had previously used most of his crystals, elixirs, and even the herbs he
had collected.
Now, Austin was poor, too.
He had to find a way to earn more money quickly.
Establishing a sect was not an easy thing. They had to do many things all at once. Most of the time, it required a lot of resources
and accomplishing other aspects too.

"By the way, Elder Brendan, | need to go out and buy sherbs for refining the Green Evil Pill,"
Austin said to Elder Brendan.
"Oh, you are planning to help the evil shadow race to refine the Green Evil Pill, aren't you?
It's true that you can refine the Green Evil Pill with your current alchemy level."
Elder Brendan nodded in agreement.
After bidding goodbye, Austin left to find the herbs he needed.
Austin traveled two days before he arrived at the nearest big city.
As he scanned the surroundings, he saw the bustling place called the Beyond City.
As soon as Austin entered the Beyond City, he immediately went straight into selixir stores on the sides of the main street. He
intended to buy a batch of second-grade superior herbs for making the Green Evil Pill.
Austin went store after store to look for the herbs he needed. After he visited a dozen elixir shops in a row, he was still unable to
get the second-grade superior herbs.
These herbs required to refine the Green Evil Pill were hard to find because they contained evil energies.
They were rarely used because human warriors usually had a tough ttrying to get a hold of those kinds of herbs.
These herbs were seldom utilized except when shuman warriors who specialized in cultivating evil energy martial skills would
occasionally use it.
Because of that, grade two superior herbs with evil energy were uncommon and difficult to get in ordinary pill stores.
"Sir, to tell you the truth, the herbs you are going to buy are not very precious, but they are all very rare. Only a few warriors want
these kinds of herbs.
Our shop only offers the goods we collected that are best sellers and the most popular ones.
| strongly suggest you visit the Deep Sea Commercial House. It has a strong and prosperous business. There might be some
second-grade superior herbs that you need in there."
A shop clerk from one of the ordinary elixir stores suggested to Austin.
"All right."
Austin nodded as he thanked the shop clerk.
He had already visited a dozen elixir shops in this city, but he failed to buy the grade two superior herbs he sought for.
He had no choice but to try his luck in the Deep Sea Commercial House.
Austin politely asked the clerk about the directions to get there before he set off. He was deeply hoping that the Deep Sea
Commercial House offered what he needed. If the herbs were still not available there, it would be hard and tricky for Austin to find
a new lead on where to get them.
He immediately traveled to where the clerk instructed him to go to. After a while, Austin arrived at the entrance of the branch store
of the Deep Sea Commercial House in the Beyond City.
Austin examined the facade of the building. It was a huge commercial firm with a magnificent look. The clerk was right, this
business firm was indeed prosperous. The place was alive and buzzing with people.
As Austin walked in the hall of the store's first floor, many seductive usherettes wearing sexy and vibrant dresses were greeting the
customers.
One of those lovely girls spotted Austin and cup to him. She swayed her charming waist as she asked him what he needed in
an enticing voice.
"I need a batch of these second-grade superior herbs.
And | need to purchase as much as 4 million enlightening crystals worth of those herbs. Do you think you can helpout?"
Austin presented a jade slip to the usherette. The slip contained the list of all the grade two superior herbs that were needed to
refine the Green Evil Pill.
At present, Austin had about six to seven million pieces of enlightening crystals with him. He also had three to four hundred
thousand pieces of ruling crystals.
Unfortunately, that was all he had. He was close to being penniless as he had almost used up all the money he possessed.
"Sir, welcto the Deep Sea Commercial House! | think | can help you with that. Our shop has these herbs. However, these
grade two superior herbs that you need are very rare. Because of that, they are much more expensive than the ordinary grade two
superior herbs.
In fact, the price of these herbs was about three times higher than that of the normal grade two superior herbs.
Do you think this price is acceptable for you, Sir?"
The young lady asked Austin after she unleashed her spiritual sense to check the herbs recorded in the jade slip.
"Ah, it's so expensive! The price is much higher than | have imagined."
Austin was taken aback. He did not expect that the herbs were too costly. He was no longer sure if he could afford it now.
He wouldn't have cared about these in the past when he had an abundance of enlightening crystals and ruling crystals.
But now that Austin was in a relatively poor state, he was sensitive about the money. He had to think carefully about how he
should spend the last bit he had left.
"What if | have this?"
After thinking for a while, he took out the token that Stacy gave to him before. He handed it over to the girl.
"The token from Miss Ren!"
The hostess exclaimed after she inspecting the token.
"Sir, you have the exclusive token from Miss Ren. You can have a discount from the Deep Sea Commercial House.

With this token, any goods within 5 million enlightening crystal are for free.
And those amounts that will exceed the 5 million enlightening crystal is at half price.
That means that the herbs you need are completely free.
Please wait a moment, Sir. I'll go and get these herbs for you."
The hostess immediately becvery respectful towards Austin. She plastered a smile on her face as she turned and wriggled her
sexy waist to collect all herbs Austin needed.
The logic of the woman was simple. Since this man had Miss Ren's token, he must be a good friend of the young lady of the Deep
Sea Commercial House.
Since they could not afford to offend the young lady or any friends of hers, they offered him a big discount which rendered his
needs free of charge.
"Really? All of the herbs are free?"
Austin was a little surprised. His mouth slightly went agape as he stared at the woman he was talking to.
He did not expect that the token Stacy gave him would be so useful.
The usherette who tended Austin's needs arrived at an elegant and exquisite room on the second floor of the store. She was
carrying Austin's token in her hand.
She approached a plump middle-aged man in the room.
"Sir, someone is buying herbs and presented Miss Ren's token,"
the girl said politely as she handed Austin's token to the man.
"Really? Handthat token. | have to check for myself."
The middle-aged man took the token and inspected it. He scrutinized every inch of the token carefully.
"It seems that this person must have a close relationship with that bitch, or perhaps he is one of her confidants. We would not let
him leave.
What is his strength?"
The middle-aged man asked in a cold tone. His face was stern as he turned his attention from the token to the young woman who
brought it to him.
"He was at the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm,"
the hostess replied immediately.
"Okay. Send someone to tail after him and bring him back. | will personally interrogate him.
Maybe we can find where Stacy is from him!"
The middle-aged man ordered coldly. At that moment, his eyes glinted with a mixture of spite and mischief.
