Alchemy King Gu Xi was dumbstruck, his mouth agape so wide that an entire egg could fit in, “How is this possible!”
The stables were filled with fodder that looked like ordinary grass but the problem was, who would feed these ordinary horses with such precious spiritual plants? Even spiritual beasts didn’t receive such treatment.
However, the smell that it emitted could not lie.
Gu Xi suddenly snatched it over and sniffed it carefully, “That’s right! It’s indeed the Lingzhi Dew Grass, Nine Revolution Heart-piercing Seed, Snake Vine Mandara, Purple Gold Jade Calabash Vine…”
Towards the end, his voice became louder and his expression became more and more incredulous. Gu Xi listed out the names of dozens of spiritual plants in one breath and everyone was stunned.
It was no wonder that the people of Tai Qing Sect would show such an expression. After all, they did not know anything about these.
The fifth elder could not help but ask, “Are these spiritual plants very precious?”
Sun Sihao gasped, “It’s not just precious. It’s hard to find even with money!”
Alchemy King Gu Xi’s eyes were shining. He didn’t care about others. He took some of the plants and started chewing immediately, “This taste is definitely authentic.”
The expressions of the Tai Qing Sect disciples became even more indescribable. The two of them were indeed master and disciple. This could be confirmed just from their identical actions and reactions.
They shouldn’t have done that even though it’s a spiritual plant. After all, the horse was still watching them from the side.
Alchemy King Gu Xi didn’t mind the dirt as he started rummaging through the stables, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a peak-grade Heaven Hundred-leafed Orchid. The only pity is that its roots and leaves are damaged.”
There was a row of neat teeth marks on the damaged part. He immediately revealed a pained expression. There was no need to ask who the culprit was.
The black horse was staring at him coldly, chewing something in its mouth.
“Oh my god! Isn’t this the Purple Ginseng King?”
Alchemy King Gu Xi cried out in alarm. He quickly pulled out the ginseng from the horse’s mouth and barely managed to save it. Unfortunately, the ginseng was already half-eaten. However, he didn’t mind the saliva on it.
“It can be used in medicine. Fortunately, the main medicinal properties haven’t been destroyed.”
Hearing this, everyone from Tai Qing Sect made a decision- They would never touch the next batch of pills that Alchemy King Gu Xi was going to refine.
“Snort!”
The black horse at the side suddenly snorted and looked at him fiercely. This person who had repeatedly snatched food from its mouth had obviously made it extremely dissatisfied.
The ponytail swung back and forth like a whip, striking Alchemy King Gu Xi’s hand. Even so, Alchemy King Gu Xi didn’t seem to notice it.
Even if the sky were to fall down at this moment, he would probably not be willing to leave. He was still rummaging through the pile of ‘fodder’.
The black horse raised its front hooves and was about to give Alchemy King Gu Xi a deep lesson, letting him know that it wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Ye Xuan gave it a look, “Don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you double.”
In other words, he still had a lot of such fodder.
The black horse was instantly satisfied and stood quietly at the side.
Who knew that his sentence seemed to have triggered Alchemy King Gu Xi. He said with a bitter heart, “What’s wrong with your Tai Qing Sect? You’re actually using spiritual plants to feed the horses! It was simply a waste of god’s gift!”
The other people of Tai Qing Sect were like: “Not me! I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense”. Their eyes fell on Ye Xuan.
“As expected of you”.
Everyone’s eyes revealed this information.
Thinking of Ye Xuan’s past extravagance, the tolerance of the people of Tai Qing Sect had been uplifted. It was not surprising even if he fed the horses with spiritual plants.
In the eyes of Alchemy King Gu Xi and the others, this expression meant that was something they were used to and often did.
Sun Sihao thought of his master’s boastful talk about how to plant spiritual plants in front of the people of Tai Qing Sect, and how difficult it was to plant them. It was a big slap in the face.
They actually did not find it difficult at all. Otherwise, how could there be extra spiritual plants to feed the horses?
Moreover, they all looked like they were used to it, which made them seem to be making a fuss.
Sun Sihao thought, “Master, this group of people is clearly pretending to be stupid.”
If the people of Tai Qing Sect knew Sun Sihao’s thoughts, they would definitely tell him that he was overthinking it.
Alchemy King Gu Xi’s group of people no longer had their previous arrogance. At this moment, they were simply filled with regret. They shouldn’t have shown that kind of attitude back then. They hoped that there was still time to remedy it.
“You don’t have to say anymore. I understand,” Alchemy King Gu Xi’s face was full of heartache.
He revealed a kind smile. His face was extremely pleasant, without the slightest bit of arrogance. Compared to the time when he first came, he was a completely different person. Those who didn’t know would think that he had been switched.
The second elder, the third elder, and the fifth elder all felt uncomfortable under his gaze, ” Alchemy King Gu Xi, please feel free to tell us if you have something to say.”
“Cough, cough. Alchemy king coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, “Do you still lack manpower in your stable?”
The people from Tai Qing Sect were a little confused, “I wonder what do you mean.”
“It’s like this. I have a few disappointing disciples here. They can’t do anything, yet they’re bullied by horses when they fight. I’d like to take this opportunity to train them in the stables for a few days.”
Sun Sihao?
“Master, I suspect that you’re referring to me, and I have evidence.”
Facing Alchemy King Gu Xi who had sold him out so easily, Sun Sihao’s expression was full of resentment. But when he saw the supreme-grade spiritual plants at the side, he was instantly overjoyed.
