Chapter 1459 - Magnetic Field
Each sect relied on its own core trade, and the Nine Dragon Palace built its current status on spiritual herbs alone. They had only climbed to this height by leaning on that business.
In truth, the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain had functioned like a colossal industrial chain for millions of years. If the Heavenly Dao Society wanted to carve out a place within that system, it would need close cooperation from the other sects.
"It's not impossible to salvage those spiritual herbs, but it'll take a bit of work," Liu Wuxie replied with a slight smile, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate teasing.
The Nine Dragon Palace's palace lord naturally understood that Liu Wuxie intended to gain leverage over the Nine Dragon Palace.
However, the problem with their spiritual herbs had been persisting for months, and the Nine Dragon Palace had tried countless methods to resolve it, all in vain.
The herbs continued to wither, and they had even sealed all news of the situation to prevent panic from spreading.
For the last few months, various sects had urged them repeatedly to deliver their spiritual herb orders, but the Nine Dragon Palace had its own difficulties. It wasn't that they refused to ship the herbs; they simply didn't have enough to send.
The medicinal potency of the withered herbs had weakened to the point of near death. If they shipped such herbs out, it would only trigger a greater disaster.
"If Young Master Liu can save those spiritual herbs, we can further discuss our cooperation," the palace lord said with a sigh. In the worst case, he could compensate the other sects later. Right now, saving the spiritual herbs mattered more than anything else to the Nine Dragon Palace.
"I can now set my mind at ease with those words. Take me to the herbal garden," Liu Wuxie replied. He did not state any conditions up front and instead chose to trust in the palace lord's character. He believed that the master of such a great sect would not go back on his word.
"Young Master Liu, please," the palace lord said, turning to lead Liu Wuxie out of the main hall. They tore through space together and left the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain behind.
Aside from their headquarters, most of the Nine Dragon Palace's assets were scattered across other planets. They didn't bother with teleportation arrays; a Quasi-Immortal could simply rip open space, and in only fifteen minutes, they arrived on another planet.
