In the world of martial arts, I can invest in countless realms.

Chapter 53 This medicine cannot be taken.

"Is this the solution you came up with?"

"What are these medicinal herbs used for?"

Shen Che hadn't expected that Bai Xiyu's request for him to do something wasn't to ask for help or risk her life, but rather to find some medicinal herbs.

After receiving the medicinal herbs, the other party began to skillfully prepare the medicine, while Shen Che watched from the side, somewhat confused.

The way this medicine was prepared was definitely that of a seasoned professional, but the more I looked at the medicine, the more something seemed off. It didn't look like medicine for human consumption; it looked more like deworming medication.

"This is deworming medicine!" Bai Xiyu explained as she prepared the medicine.

"When my ancestor Baicaogu traveled to the southern border, he brought back a book of miscellaneous medical texts, which contained a secret medicine for raising insects."

"I suspect the reason they want to take over my Hundred Herbs Valley is because this book and the complete and abundant variety of herbs in my Hundred Herbs Valley are enough to support their goal of cultivating alien insects."

"But they may not know that there are actually two copies of the Southern Miscellaneous Medicine, which contain both methods for raising insects and methods for expelling insects."

"It's done!" Bai Xiyu put the prepared medicine aside, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This medicine will have some effect on all kinds of strange insects, but it is especially effective against those that were bred using the secret insect-breeding medicine in the book!"

"Good, good!" The old man nodded excitedly, then exclaimed with fervor, "With this medicine, we've crippled their greatest reliance!"

"Young Master, our Hundred Herbs Valley is saved!"

Just as the old man's face showed excitement, his body suddenly began to shake violently and uncontrollably, his whole body trembling like a sieve, and his consciousness seemed to completely disappear in an instant.

Bai Xiyu quickly brought the prepared medicinal powder to his nose, and after a moment, the medicine seemed to begin to take effect.

The old man's body trembled less and less until it finally stopped completely.

After a long while, the old man finally managed to open his eyes.

"This medicine works, it definitely works!" The old man, having just regained a little consciousness, ignored the strange sensations in his body and shouted excitedly.

"Young Master, the medicine you prescribed is effective. Our Hundred Herbs Valley will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

"Uncle Feng, lie down and rest for a while, don't get excited."

"Young Valley Master, my old bones can still hold up." After taking several deep breaths, the old man struggled to sit up again with Bai Xiyu's help.

"Over the years, I have practiced medicine and saved countless lives in Baicaogu, and I have made many friends. Among those who have come from the martial arts world, there must be some old acquaintances of mine."

"Young Valley Master, I will try to contact those among them who are trustworthy in character and prestige."

"As long as they also believe it, and cooperate with us to expose those people's true colors in public, with so many martial arts masters around, we will surely be able to take them down in one fell swoop and let the young master reclaim Hundred Herbs Valley."

"Are you sure?" Looking at the confident expressions of the old man and the young man in front of him, as if they had everything under control, Shen Che suddenly felt speechless.

Do you have some misunderstanding about people in the martial arts world? Do you really think they're doing charity work? They're all ruthless killers.

If they learn the truth, they will surely be furious, and in their fury, they are indeed likely to tear those people to pieces.

But afterwards, you're a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people here. Aren't you afraid people will have some opinions about you?

Baicaogu, such a large business, who wouldn't want to take a bite?

If your things are gone, so be it, there aren't many people left anyway, but you have to keep your promise to me.

I glanced at Bai Xiyu next to me. She was indeed very beautiful, but I definitely wouldn't accept it if she had to use someone as collateral!

Noticing the gaze directed at her from the side, Bai Xiyu seemed to immediately understand his thoughts.

"Don't worry, Master Shen, we will definitely fulfill our promise to you. I will tell you the location of my treasure in Hundred Herbs Valley."

"But from now on, I'll need your help, Master Shen!"

"Well, it's not that I can't help you again, but I have one last question."

Looking up at the two, Shen Che asked with extreme caution, "Does your Hundred Herbs Valley have any Grandmasters?"

"Grandmaster?" The old man looked at Shen Che with some surprise and doubt. Although he did not speak, his expression was already very clear.

If he hadn't been certain that although his body was old and failing, his hearing was fine, he would have almost thought he had misheard.

Grandmaster, don't you want to listen to what you're saying?

After a long silence, the old man said in a low voice, "Master Shen, our Hundred Herbs Valley mainly focuses on practicing medicine and cultivating herbs, and we are not particularly good at martial arts."

"Moreover, in the entire martial arts world, our Hundred Herbs Valley can only be considered a small to medium-sized force. To be honest, our strongest members are only a few innate masters."

"Grandmasters are legendary figures; it's truly impossible to have the chance to meet one."

Although it was phrased euphemistically, Shen Che understood the meaning perfectly.

Let alone a grandmaster, he wasn't even a grandmaster. I was practically asking him if he was deliberately trying to humiliate me.

"Innate One!" If he might have had some reservations before, he had none at all now.

The strongest person in Baicao Valley is only a master of the Innate Realm. If they can't even afford to covet this small fortune, and have to do it secretly, then what kind of great background could they possibly have?

With this level of skill, what strategy do you need? You could just sweep through without any problem.

"Let's go, right now!"

The sun hung high in the sky, the heat was intense, and the scorching sunlight poured down into the valley.

The mountains and forests are lush and green, while the Hundred Herbs Valley is bustling with people.

The sweltering heat couldn't dampen their enthusiasm; many martial arts masters eagerly watched as the Hundred Herbs Pill was brought out.

According to rumors from Baicao Valley, this pill has the miraculous effect of enhancing one's power. There are even whispers that it has the extraordinary effect of prolonging life, making one young again and extending one's vitality.

Either one of them, if presented, would be enough to get people excited.

Therefore, everyone is eagerly anticipating the moment, hoping to witness whether this medicine is as miraculous as the legends suggest.

Now, the ten Hundred Herbs Pills are placed on the table. Six of them are placed in front of experts from major sects and families, and the other two are placed in front of two highly respected and skilled rogue cultivators.

The last two were placed in front of two middle-aged men dressed in blue robes and black gauze hats, who seemed to be experts from the imperial court.

It is said that once the efficacy of the medicine is confirmed, Baicaogu will put some of the medicine up for auction on the spot.

Therefore, everyone is on high alert, waiting to see the effects of the medicine.

The ten people didn't speak at this moment, but stared intently at the Hundred Herbs Pill before them. Their expressions were unreadable, a half-smile playing on their lips.

"Hundred Herbs Valley, Hundred Herbs Elixir, how interesting, truly interesting!"

The middle-aged man second from the left shook his folding fan, glanced around, and then said softly, "Gentlemen, since none of you are going to take it, I'll take it first and see if this medicine is as miraculous as the legends say!"

"If it's really that miraculous, I'll have to be the first to grab it when Hundred Herbs Valley sells its pills later!"

The middle-aged man picked up the herbal pill in front of him and looked at it, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

What kind of pill-tasting gathering is this? It's simply overestimating themselves, trying to auction off the Hundred Herbs Pill?

If it weren't for the fact that so many people were invited and that everyone was mindful of each other, Hundred Herbs Valley would have been wiped out several times over.

He eagerly picked up the medicine, about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly a commotion broke out outside.

"Sect Leader He, you can't take this medicine!"
