Chapter 363: 178
“I am curious as to why you insisted on staying outside instead of scrambling for chances in the wooden house. Judging from the illusionary realm earlier, you’re certainly not someone unwise.”
Logan immediately tensed up. This man was truly vigilant. He saw through Logan just like that. No wonder he, too, insisted on staying outside earlier. It turned out he had this intention all along, and what was cunning was that he had obtained 800 spirit stones, manipulating everyone in his hands.
At this moment, Logan couldn’t admit it. He chuckled, “I am just an insignificant being in the Mythical Realm. Of course, I know I can’t compete with all of you in the Transcendent Tier, so I’m trading information and good relations.”
“Being in the mythical realm is indeed lowly, but you dare to roam this illusionary realm. I suspect your cultivation is not weak, just very well-hidden. After all, you can deceive others but can’t deceive me.”
Carter Jefferson smiled faintly, hailing from a small family clan, the group of people he just encountered were simply on another level. The reason he was able to blend into their circle was owing to his exceptional intelligence and the ability to read others. Otherwise, he would have been pushed away long ago.
“I know you must have your own plans, but you will definitely not tell me. Perhaps, we can collaborate. You have no other choice. Even if you have the ability to kill me, once a big commotion is caused, all schemes will be lost.”
With a flick of Carter Jefferson’s wrist, he threw those 800 spirit stones at Logan. The fundamentally vigilant Logan was even more confused. These were the spoils that the other party had obtained not too long ago. What did their casual toss mean?
“This is a gift for you. You can also think of it as initiation fees. I have never really cared for these spirit stones. After all, I am in the Transcendent Tier, where spirit stones can no longer aid in cultivation.”
Carter Jefferson sighed. His only aspiration in life was to reach the Dominator Realm one day, to create his own domain, to become a well-known lord. At that time, he would no longer need to be at the mercy of others or try to fit in with large family clans.
Logan began to mull over it. He could see the sincerity in the other’s words, but he was a bit squeamish about giving half of the herbs to the other party. After all, he would be giving up half of it for nothing.
After much thought, he chose to be honest, “You guessed it right. There indeed are opportunities out here. But your demand for half is a bit far-fetched. How about I take 70% and you take 30%?”
“30%?” Carter Jefferson fell into thought, but ultimately agreed. He wasn’t looking to be adversaries with Logan. Logan was more imposing than any of the Throne Realm individuals he had ever encountered. Getting 30% was still quite fair.
If they end up in conflict, he won’t get anything. That would be a significant loss indeed. Logan was far more formidable than the wastrels he had encountered from those major family clans.
“The opportunity is in the garden village. On the surface, it’s just ordinary vegetables. But in reality, they’re extremely valuable herbs that even the Sanctuary Powerhouse had painstakingly cultivated. This just proves how extraordinary they are.”
Logan walked into the Garden Village and struck in a certain direction. Suddenly, a barrier burst and disappeared. The original Garden Village was renewed and transformed into rich spiritually classical herbs.
“This… Is this the Law Herbs?” Carter Jefferson was flabbergasted and speechless, rooted to the spot. He was aware how precious these herbs are due to his extensive knowledge and experiences.
Even if it were a dominator coming, he would likely be surprised, let alone a group of minor transcendent beings like them. The rare value of such herbs is self-evident and something that all cultivators long for in their dreams.
Logan frowned as he wasn’t aware of how extraordinary this herb was. After Carter Jefferson’s explanation, he finally discovered the extraordinary existence he had stumbled upon.
The law herbs, due to their constant absorption of spiritual energy and the force of law, contain vast amounts of energy and pressure. They are a rarity in this world. Most cultivators can’t get it, and even dominators may only find one or two in their entire life.
However, in this garden village, there are at least fifty such plants, and each one of them isn’t incomplete. Instead, they have absorbed the full force of law and will, which are treasures of a Sanctuary Powerhouse.
If a throne realm cultivator possesses one plant, if it can completely devour the herb within ten years, it will definitely ascend to the realm of dominator. And a middle level transcendent who possesses it can reach throne realm within a year.
Carter Jefferson calculated that even if he only gets 30% of the fifty herbs, he would still get about fifteen of them. At present, he is a middle-level transcendent. If he were to devour all the herbs, he could likely ascend to the realm of dominator within a decade.
The thought of this filled Carter Jefferson’s eyes with fervor. To prevent any accidents, he urged Logan to quickly harvest the herbs. If that group were to return from the wooden cottage, he would certainly have to share with them.
Logan didn’t delay and harvested all the herbs at once and gave 30% to Carter Jefferson as promised. Seeing the precious herbs in his hand, he hurriedly put them in his storage space.
While Logan was pleasantly surprised, he started pondering over something. Sanctuary Powerhouses are already at the peak of cultivation, so why did they plant a garden of law herbs? Were they trying to breakthrough to another realm? Unfortunately, they fell in this illusionary realm before the herbs matured.
Carter Jefferson was overjoyed and quickly said, “We should both keep this secret and remember not to tell anyone, even our own family. Because these law herbs are certain to attract many people’s greed.”
No sooner had Logan nodded his agreement when a dozen people came out from the wooden house, carrying spoils. When they rushed in, they took whatever they could – even bricks and tiles were not spared.
They almost took apart the whole house, but left the house spotless once they were done. Then, they left the wooden house, intending to take a look at their spoils and see how many were actually valuable.
However, when they came out, they were surprised. There was clearly a garden here just a moment ago, how did it disappear in the blink of an eye? Gamenor, who was leading the group, turned to Carter Jefferson, hoping for an explanation.
But Carter Jefferson had already thought of a good excuse. He said dispassionately, “I initially thought those vegetables might be spiritual treasures, so I harvested them for a look. But they turned out to be just ordinary vegetables. In a fit of anger, I demolished the entire garden.”
His words were half true, half false but unimpeachable. Further, he honestly admitted his own greed. If he made up some random reason, he definitely wouldn’t be able to deceive them.
Logan snorted coldly on the side, discernibly mocking Carter Jefferson’s actions. This made Jefferson’s words more believable.
