Alex wanted to check out the Yavda monkâs corpse to see if thereâs anything useful on him.
Considering he was an Immortal Monarch now, he rnightâve been even stronger back in his days. He
was most likely quite powerful back when the power of laws was still perfectly balanced.
If Alex could get his hands on his storage ring, he knew that heâd gain quite a few powerful items.
However, Alex scanned the area with his divine conscience repeatedly, yet still couldnât find anything
related to the monk. It was as if the phantom managed to wipe the monkâs existence off of this world,
along with all his things.
âUh..?â
âAnd the way to enter the Phoenix Sect Sanctuaryâ¦â
That was out of consideration as well. Hence, he figured that it was best to find the teleportation circle
himself. It was fortunate that he wasnât in a hurry to enter the sanctuary. With the Chaos Tree, he
seemed to have found another way instead. The Chaos Tree was able to purify the impurities within the
power of laws, turning them into completely pure energy⦠Using this, he wouldnât need to find the
sanctuary.
Besides, the people around him could give a hand in this as well.
Alex then followed the members of the Plenilune Sect to the treasuries, only to be disappointed.
The most valuable item in the treasuries was just some herbs with spiritual energy. Although he still
managed to obtain quite a few rare herbs from this, nothing else in the treasuries could excite him at
all.
The manager of the last treasury was an old lady who had a hunched back.
She sighed. âWe, the Plenilune Sect, used to be a traditional herb business. Our business was bustling
and earning quite a lot of profit as well. We never had to worry about spiritual stones.
âSome of our elders even mentioned that our founders had the power to understand heaven and earth.
All of them had the blood of mythical beasts as well. Some awakened the supernatural power to smell.
They were able to identify spiritual herbs that were within a hundred-mile radius too.â
When the old lady said this, she seemed pretty proud, but this expression did not last long.
âItâs a shame that the Plenilune Sect started worsening ever since ancient times. We had fewer and
fewer people that had the blood of mythical beasts. In the end, they became extinct as well. Hence, no
one was able to master the martial arts of our sect.â
âThe Plenilune Sect went from being an elite clan to a complete joke now. A joke, really! We canât even
keep our treasury safe nowâ¦â
Alex frowned. âYou know quite a lot, huh, old lady!â
She held her chest then let out a few coughs. Turning toward Alex, she shook her head and said, âItâs
alright, this will happen sooner or later anyway. If you didnât take those herbs, theyâd end up rotting in
here. Take them, take them all away. I donât want to get any more annoyed than I already am when
seeing them.â
In the end, she even reminded Alex. âDonât ever waste these precious herbs. Only let skilled alchemists
handle them too. Else it would surely be an insult to the herbs!â
Seeing just how sad she was about his place, Alex couldnât help but ponder to himself.
âThe old ladyâs actions indicated that she had quite the history. Sheâs not just a mere treasury manager
that leeches off of the sect.â
âGranny, youâre quite attached to the Plenilune Sect, right?â Alex asked.
âAttached? This is my home, for godâs sake. Itâs a pity that theyâve worsened with every generationâ¦â
Her words seemed to have confirmed his assumptions further.
âGranny, how long have you been living here?â
â⦠Are you trying to guess my age? Humph, I wonât be revealing anything to you. Take the herbs and
leave. Donât act all nice when youâre just trying to benefit from this place. Back in my day, I couldâve
squashed you younglings with one hand aloneâ¦â
Alex was stunned by her response. âOld lady, youâre boasting a little too much there.â
âIf you really were that powerful, why would the Plenilune Sect end up like this? Not only was the sect
master killed, someone had to substitute as a fake while keeping this from everyone else.â
Just then, Neela rushed over with Pros tine in her arms. When Alex was checking the treasuries out, he
told Neela and Hermione to watch over Frostine.
âSir, Sir, please take a look at her. She seems a little off. Itâs like her blood is boiling like hot water. She
even has steam coming out of her nose and mouth. This is probably the consequence of bloodline
induced blood sacrifice.â
âSheâs in critical condition!â Alex instantly felt his chest tighten.
He immediately picked Frostine up and swept the porcelain tea set off the table before carefully placing
Frostine down.
