Chapter 365: Alarm & pillage
His instincts had always been one of his greatest weapons, so he never doubted them. Even now he started making preparations for any possible scenario.
With these thoughts in mind, he spread his spirit sense as much as he could in the range that others couldn't discover it, and started paying more attention to his surroundings.
All this time though there was no difference in his facial expression. He seemed to like his normal self as he followed the crowd towards the rocky fortress.
The more he approached the rocky fortress the more he felt like something bad would happen inside there.
For that reason, he started to pay even more attention to his surroundings and the possible traps. He was concentrating on everything that grabbed his attention.
But there was nothing out of order, everything seemed to be normal. Were his instincts wrong, or was he just not finding what was the problem with this place?
No, his instincts had saved him so many times from the claws of death, he would never doubt his instincts. There was certainly something wrong with this situation.
With this thought in his mind, he didn't give up on paying attention to his surroundings, as he entered the city with Elder Tao, and Elder Knife by his side.
They had never left his side during the whole journey, and even now when most of the cultivators were pillaging this place, they were still by his side.
While Elder Knife looked a bit unwilling, Elder Tao didn't seem to care about it in the least. Quite on the contrary, he had a weird unnoticed smirk on his face.
For some reason that weird smirk on his face made Tianlong Yun even more unsettled, and worried, more than for himself he was worried about the Shadow Clan group that was here.
He couldn't allow them to die for nothing in this place as they were an important part of his forces and foundation.
Thinking like this he just continued forward and entered the city, there didn't seem to be any other viable way to pass to the other side anyway.
Furthermore, a big part of his Shadow Clan members had entered inside and he couldn't let them disappear in there.
No matter what he had the confidence he could get out of there as long as he didn't meet anyone stronger than Body Integration Realm.
Entering inside the rocky fortress Tianlong Yun wasn't able to find anything special, only his senses and instincts started alarming him even more.
Taking a deep breath to relax, and his senses a bit, under the accompany of Elder Tao and Elder Knife he started walking towards the Eastern part of the Rocky Fortress.
From what he could see the Rocky Fortress was separated into 4 districts. The South was the armory and the barracks, the west was the residential area, and the north was the city lord mansion and the officials.
Leaving only the East part towards which Tianlong Yun and the two Elders were heading too if Tianlong Yun's guess was right then this was the 'pill and medicine' area.
That had been Tianlong Yun's target from the start as the other districts were already full to the brim, but also because he needed a lot of herbs and medical resources.
Until now he had almost bought the whole medicine market in Tianchang City, and Shanghai through his disciples, and people.
But still, that wasn't enough as he had more than 10.000 disciples he needed to nurture, and a lot of them were in relatively high cultivations realms and needed more pills and assistance.
The Eastern District was almost empty, there were only a few people rummaging and trying to find some useful things in this area, as a daft medicine smell was spreading through the place.
The moment Tianlong Yun smelled a bit of this thing, his instincts immediately went mad. It was like he had found his worst enemy or something.
Feeling that Tianlong Yun immediately stopped his breathing process, and started concentrating more on the air surrounding him.
It looked like some normal medicine smell, but considering the fact that this place should be completely empty then how was it possible to have this smell?
There was clearly something weird and wrong with this medicine-like smell. And while he was concentrating more and more on the air, he finally found where the problem was.
Behind that medicine-like smell, was a powerful odorless aphrodisiac that attacked the cultivator's senses, making them drunk, and lustful beyond compare.
For the moment it looked like all this had just started, and it hadn't spread through all the place, but really soon it would happen.
Realizing this Tianlong Yun turned his eyes towards the duo accompanying him, they both looked fine. It seemed like the aphrodisiac took a bit of time to take effect, and it was also dependent on the quantity.
Making these conclusions Tianlong Yun blocked his respiratory system for the time being without being noticed.
He had the feeling of being watched right now, but there was no presence in his surroundings, and no form of surveillance either.
First and foremost he had to make sure that he himself was clean of any hurtful substance that might have entered his body until now, as he started diagnosticating his whole body.
While he was doing all this inside, outside he was walking towards a big 7 floors building, that looked like it was some kind of warehouse.
Opening the door towards the first floor, his nostrils were immediately attacked by a new wave of medicinal smell, but this time coming from the actual store medicinal plants.
All the first floor was filled with herbs that could be used to produce 1st and 2nd level pills and potions. The herbs were all of the medium or high quality.
Due to their commonness, and the fact that these were easily grown herbs, they were all in big stalks and amounts.
Without even caring about what they were, Tianlong Yun took out a space ring and started storing them all inside it.
In less than a minute Tianlong Yun had completely emptied the first floor of the building, which one has to say that it was at least 1000 meters square.
Without losing much time, he immediately started walking towards the stairs and made way for the second floor.
What surprised him though was that there was no barrier of any kind to stop him from going to the second floor of the warehouse.
Even in there he did the same as on the first floor and took everything inside without leaving even a small leaf behind.
The only difference with the first floor was that on this floor the herbs could be used for level 3 and level 4 pills and potions.
Following the same tactic, he went towards the 3rd floor. Once again there was no barrier to prevent him from entering the place, as he went ahead and took everything he could.
The third floor contained herbs for level 5 pills and potions. Seeing this pattern Tianlong Yun was getting more and more excited about what expected him further.
He continued to climb the floors and empty everything from each floor. He didn't seem to care in the least about why was there nothing stopping, or preventing him from doing so.
Elder Knife by his side had a completely red face, as he was truly envious and angry at Tianlong Yun for taking everything like that.
He had tried to convince Elder Tao to allow him to take some things, or even kill Tianlong Yun and take all the herbs for themselves.
In his eyes, these herbs had a much bigger value than a sprout like Tianlong Yun, even if he could hand them over the Shadow Clan.
But Elder Tao had warned him not to try anything funny. He was here only as Tianlong Yun's security and nothing more, they couldn't act without their Master's order.
For that reason, he was holding himself back at the best of his abilities, but this didn't mean that Tianlong Yun looked any less hateful to him all the time.
On the other hand, Tianlong Yun had already noticed Elder Knife's frustration, and anger, and was intentionally making things showier to make him pass the limit.
He wanted to create an opportunity, and situation where he could escape from the duo's reach, and the aphrodisiac in the air was helping him even more with Elder Knife.
Thinking like this, he continued to do what he was doing as he continued to pillage everything, in different space rings, because clearly, one wasn't enough.
Of course, things were less common with each floor he went up, and when he reached the 5th floor there were only a handful of herbs in there.
Their quality and use though was beyond what one can imagine, those were herbs that could be used in level 7 pills and potions.
These things were useful even to Great Ascension Realm Cultivators and even some Lesser Gods. Looking at these herbs he couldn't help but smile like an idiot inside.
Not wanting to risk anything he immediately placed those herbs carefully in a space ring, as he couldn't wait to see what was on the floor above.
Just like the previous floors until now there was no barrier preventing him whatsoever, as he got on the sixth floor, only to be a little bit disappointed by what he found in there.
Different from the lower floors, the sixth floor didn't contain herbs, but pills and potions, in a large quantity.
Those pills and potions varied from level 1 to level 5 but their quantities were large, there were at least 100 pills for each type.
Once again he didn't bother to show restrain as he collected everything, and made way for the seventh floor.
When he reached there though he was left flabbergasted
