"Yes. According to Elder Sharp, this Sect-protecting Array of our Flame Holy Land does not only possess a powerful defensive effect against the enemy but also can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Once the protection array is completely repaired and utilized, this place will no longer be a boundless desert.
Soon, it will turn into an oasis filled with spiritual energy. Isn't that what we want?"
Elder Brendan said excitedly. His eyes were beaming with joy as he spoke.
"That's great!" Austin was glad too.
The sheer happiness from what the elder said was contagious. He was thrilled because of it.
"Did Elder Sharp tell you when he can completely repair the array?"
Austin asked curiously.
"Elder Sharp thinks it will take a few more months.
However, our Flame Holy Land's biggest problem right now is that we lack cultivation resources.
We had worked hard in the past few decades to rebuild the Flame Holy Land of the sect. Because of that, we had accumulated a large amount of cultivation resources.
However, the repair of the sect protecting array had consumed a lot of resources.
So, I almost used up all the resources at hand.
Even the Earth Hermit had provided most of his life savings for us to repair the array.
Thankfully, the five natural vessels of dragon energy Elder Sharp have extracted from your body have been set up as a Five-dragon Energy Gathering Array. It is enough for those disciples to use temporarily.
Yet, it would not work if the situation kept going on like this for a long time.
I have to figure out a way to collect more resources for practice."
Elder Brendan responded thoughtfully.
Elder Brendan, the chief elder, already perceived Austin as a high-level leader of the Flame Holy Land. He spoke about these matters to Austin naturally. He was never reluctant to let the young man know about the issues that they were now facing.
Hearing that, Austin nodded. However, his face still formed into a frown as he thought about what the elder said.
In order to perform the resurrection for Elder Sharp, Austin had previously used most of his crystals, elixirs, and even the herbs he had collected.
Now, Austin was poor, too.
He had to find a way to earn more money quickly.
Establishing a sect was not an easy thing. They had to do many things all at once. Most of the time, it required a lot of resources and accomplishing other aspects too.
"By the way, Elder Brendan, I need to go out and buy some herbs for refining the Green Evil Pill,"
Austin said to Elder Brendan.
"Oh, you are planning to help the evil shadow race to refine the Green Evil Pill, aren't you?
It's true that you can refine the Green Evil Pill with your current alchemy level."
Elder Brendan nodded in agreement.
After bidding goodbye, Austin left to find the herbs he needed.
Austin traveled two days before he arrived at the nearest big city.
As he scanned the surroundings, he saw the bustling place called the Beyond City.
As soon as Austin entered the Beyond City, he immediately went straight into some elixir stores on the sides of the main street. He intended to buy a batch of second-grade superior herbs for making the Green Evil Pill.
Austin went store after store to look for the herbs he needed. After he visited a dozen elixir shops in a row, he was still unable to get the second-grade superior herbs.
These herbs required to refine the Green Evil Pill were hard to find because they contained evil energies.
They were rarely used because human warriors usually had a tough time trying to get a hold of those kinds of herbs.
These herbs were seldom utilized except when some human warriors who specialized in cultivating evil energy martial skills would occasionally use it.
Because of that, grade two superior herbs with evil energy were uncommon and difficult to get in ordinary pill stores.
"Sir, to tell you the truth, the herbs you are going to buy are not very precious, but they are all very rare. Only a few warriors want these kinds of herbs.
Our shop only offers the goods we collected that are best sellers and the most popular ones.
I strongly suggest you visit the Deep Sea Commercial House. It has a strong and prosperous business. There might be some second-grade superior herbs that you need in there."
A shop clerk from one of the ordinary elixir stores suggested to Austin.
"All right."
Austin nodded as he thanked the shop clerk.
He had already visited a dozen elixir shops in this city, but he failed to buy the grade two superior herbs he sought for.
He had no choice but to try his luck in the Deep Sea Commercial House.
