Searching for the Silver Moon Grass
Shi Tian cultivated the entire night.
In the morning, he went outside to buy the spirit herbs from the town market. But strangely he couldn't find the spirit herbs requested by the mother.
After searching for hours, he confirmed that the sliver moon grass was not available in the market.
The silver moon grass was growing in the valley in the forest that was not far away from the town, but due to the bandits rampaging in the forest these days, the natives were afraid to go into the forest. There was another rumor circulated that all the silver moon grass was occupied by the bandits right now.
Shi Tian went to the silver moon valley to find the silver moon grass, he was already angry at the name of the bandits, hearing that bandits once again came into his way, his anger grew more.
After a few minutes later, he arrived at the silver moon valley, he scanned the surroundings with his divine senses but didn't find the presence of other humans.
It surprised him a little because according to the townspeople this valley should be confiscated by the bandits.
Even though the silver moon grass was not very expensive herbs, but quantity does matter, the hundred stalks of the silver moon grass could fetch a hefty price in the market.
After that, he started searching for the silver moon grass in the valley. There was no need to look for the bandits, his main objective was silver moon grass.
Shi Tian wandered inside the silver moon valley to find the silver moon grass, strangely he didn't encounter any silver moon grass in the valley in the first two hours. Unknowingly, he entered into the deep part of the valley when he finally found a silver moon grass. As the name implied, it was a silver-colored grass of size of almost six inches.
Just after picking up the silver moon grass, Shi Tian was about to move forward, he heard some voice, "Hey, brat. What are you doing here?"
"Nothing, just picking up some grass!" Shi Tian turned to look at the man who just spoke and replied casually. Shi Tian didn't forget to change his appearance before entering into the silver moon valley for this kind of situation.
"Fuck off, nobody is allowed to pick the silver moon grass from here." The man spoke in a threatening voice to chase him away. But Shi Tian didn't pay attention to the man's warning.
The man was obviously angered by Shi Tian's action, he rushed at him with a furious expression. Shi Tian finally turned his attention to the man who was coming at him with a furious expression.
A few minutes later.
"Please, spare me, young lord!" The man started begging and crying after getting beaten up by Shi Tian.
After Shi Tian beat down the man, the man immediately started speaking. Turned out, these men are not bandits or not robbers, these men are hired by the mayor of the town.
The rumors of bandits were also spread by the mayor and his people, after that they confiscated all the silver moon grass in the silver moon valley. The silver moon grass mostly matured during the current season. These people were taking advantage of the chaotic situation of the kingdom and filling their fat treasury.
After handling the man, Shi Tian didn't go forward into the valley in search of the moon grass, All the matured silver moon grass was already picked up by the men of the mayor. He returned to the town and go to the house of the mayor. Shi Tian bring the man with him as he didn't know the path of the mayor's residence.
The guards tried to block his path. "Stop, Lord is busy right now, come back later!" Shi Tian certainly didn't have patience.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded, the door shattered into countless pieces. The guards were frightened by the attacks, it happened too fast.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"An enemy attack…"
Everyone came to the courtyard when they sensed the rampant Spirit Energy.
The mayor was still a little puzzled at first. However, his eyes narrowed imperceptibly when he saw the man had been imprisoned by Shi Tian.
He had a bad feeling in mind.
"Lord, save me…"
The moment the man caught sight of the mayor, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face as he shouted out to him.
"Shut up!" The mayor had a dark expression on his face.
Then, he looked at Shi Tian and said, "Sir, you trespassed on our place and destroyed our magic formation. Isn't this a breach of etiquette?"
"Etiquette?"
"There's no need for so many rules when dealing with scums like you. You're supposed to protect the law in this difficult time, but you openly violated the laws. Are you even qualified to speak of etiquette?" Shi Tian spoke in a cold tone.
The expression on the mayor's face changed greatly when he heard that. Glaring at the man, he said, "You bastard, you even told others about this? Do you want to die?"
They had done things cautiously because they did not want anyone to know they had violated the law.
Even if they were to confiscate the silver moon grass, they would do so secretly. Now, they had all been exposed.
The mayor had already guessed what would happen if this matter were made public. Those in higher positions would definitely punish him.
"I don't have time to chit-chat with you. Just give me what I want, I will on my way. I want a thousand stalks of silver moon grass. You have two minutes." Shi Tian spoke coldly.
"What? A thousand!" The mayor exclaimed in shock. They were just able to gather 1500 stalks of silver moon grass after spending so much money and time and Shi Tian directly demanding 1000. If it wasn't for the overwhelming pressure and spirit qi emitted by Shi Tian that frightened the mayor, the mayor might have ordered his men to capture him already.
After taking the silver moon grass, Shi Tian left the town. This time, he went through the forest and mountains, thinking the previous incident hadn't been repeated last night.
In the noon, Shi Tian finally returned to the mansion.
"I'm back!" Shi Tian said loudly as he entered the mansion.
"Young Master, you returned!" Duan Mei and Xiu Ying came out from the inside, exclaimed with delight as they welcomed him cheerfully.
"Tian'er, how was your trip?" Duan Mei's mother also came to greet him and asked with a mild smile on her face.
"It was not good!" Shi Tian replied.
"Huh! Young Master, something happened?" Duan Mei curiously asked.
"Yeah!."
After a while later, Shi Tian briefed them about his trip. Xiangyue and Bingyao naturally showed faked expressions.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Xiu Ying asked concernedly.
"I'm fine! They were no match for me." Shi Tian replied slowly.
After returning, Shi Tian didn't go out for a while.
A few days later, the army of the Black Sand Kingdom arrived in front of the Red Cloud City.
