Chen Ye was walking and suddenly remembered something big!
"Why should I go back to Santang? I don't have a place to sleep there!"
Chen Ye thought of his only hammock hanging on two trees, and immediately turned around and walked towards the medicine garden. After all, he still had a few days left before two months. If he didn't go, he would not be wasting this opportunity.
That’s it!
Last time, Chen Ye was caught by the two masters of the medicine sect. All the herbs he hid were turned over, so it can be said that nothing was caught.
And this time, it happened to be at night, so no one would notice it!
Chen Ye entered the medicine garden with the token and smelled the light fragrance of the herbs, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Chen Ye didn't talk too much and kept looking for the herbs on the side. No matter what grade they were, Chen Ye took them all into his pocket.
The entire medicinal garden occupies two mountains, so it is quite large. It may be difficult for normal people to find it, but who is Chen Ye? He is called the Master of Tianji Pavilion. In addition, he has a lot of knowledge about various herbal medicines.
I know them all very well, so I find the right one and pack them all away without leaving any behind.
Soon, Chen Ye's storage bag contained more and more herbs, and gradually the entire storage bag was filled to a large size!
But Chen Ye didn't give up. He still carried out a carpet-like "sweeping" of the medicine garden, leaving nothing behind. What should he do if the storage bag couldn't fit in it? Force it in!
After a night of hard work, exhausted Chen Ye dragged himself back to the door of the medicine garden.
"Junior brother, come out! How about it? Can you gain anything in one night?"
"It's bad, don't mention it! I'm too stupid to only find so many first-level herbs..." Chen Ye handed his basket to the gatekeeper for inspection.
"By the way, junior brother, why don't you come here in the morning? The view is better in the morning, so it's much easier to find than at night!" the senior brother on the side asked in confusion.
"I can't help it. I am a registered disciple. I am only able to get this opportunity thanks to the kindness of the hall master. There is no reason to compete with all the senior brothers! Besides, I have little knowledge and how can I be faster than the senior brother? I'm afraid that the senior brother will pick it up.
After all, there is no part for me anymore, so I come here at night..."
Chen Ye covered his head and pretended to be helpless.
The guarding senior brother nodded, "It's okay, junior brother, don't be in a hurry, take your time, it's all from that time." Then, while comforting Chen Ye, he handed the herb to Chen Ye.
Little did he know that most of the herbs on the entire mountain had been dug up by Chen Ye. Some of the second-level herbs, and even very few third-level ones, were not left behind by Chen Ye!
Chen Ye quickly ran towards the woods of Santang. After all, he had been tossing all night and wanted to take a rest. Although there was no bed, Santang was his main hall after all, so it was relatively safe. At least no one would come back to disturb him.

…
"Hey! What's weird, I've been walking for three hours today, and why haven't I seen a single herb?" Several disciples from the medicine sect who came to pick herbs discussed.
They had been searching for a long time since they came in, but they didn't see even a single trace of a first-order herb.
"Is our route wrong? We have gone through the picking route that others have just taken!"
"Let's change one!"
One person suggested, and the others nodded, so they changed their route and continued looking for herbs.
Until dusk, several people slowly retreated from the medicine garden, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
"Guys, please show me the basket, I need to check it!"
A few people spread their hands towards the fellow practitioners of the medicine garden, "We picked up a lot today, but we didn't pick anything..."
The senior guard was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You didn't pick anything either?"
Several people nodded, and then the leader among them asked, "What do you mean, are there people who are worse off than us, or are they the same as us?"
The guard brother smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know something. All the fellow disciples who came out of the medicine garden today returned empty-handed! And they all said that they didn't even see the hair of a single herb."
The senior brother who was the leader among those people couldn't help but frowned. "No, there is a problem! If we are the only ones who failed to pick, it may be that our picking route is wrong, or our ideas are not good, but so many people are
It’s not normal to come back empty-handed! And if that’s really the case, there’s only one way to explain it…”
"What explanation?"
"The medicine garden has been stolen!" The leading senior brother said word by word, and then continued, "No, I want to report this to the hall master! We must find out the truth!"
Several people were from Wutang, so they quickly returned to Wutang and informed the head of Wutang about the matter.
"What? You said the medicine garden was stolen? Are you serious?" The leader of the Fifth Hall stared at the people in front of him with his big eyes.
Several disciples nodded in unison!
The leader of the fifth hall waved his sleeves and said, "I want to go and see for myself what is going on!"
Soon, the incident of the entire medicine garden being stolen spread throughout the Xuanjian Sect, but since the chief sect leader was still in seclusion, there was no way to report it. The matter could only be handled by Sect Leader Li of the medicine sect.
Sect Leader Li personally inspected the "crime scene", but found no useful clues at all.
Sect Leader Li couldn't help but sigh, "You look like he's an expert at first sight! I don't think many in the entire medicine sect can do this method of committing the crime. Moreover, he actually uprooted the entire herb, which was a waste of natural resources!"
Sect Master Li didn't know what to say for a moment, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only order to strengthen the guards, then send people to sow next season's medicine seeds in advance, and sent a special person to investigate the matter!
On the other side, Chen Ye, who had been sleeping for two days against a big tree, was woken up by a sneeze.
Chen Ye sat up and rubbed his nose, "Why do I feel like someone is scolding me?"
Chen Ye shook his head to clear his thoughts, then looked at the large handfuls of herbs in his storage bag and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
He stood up and stretched, "Hey, after sleeping for two days, it's time to go to work."
After saying that, Chen Ye shook the token in his hand and walked down the mountain.
"Hey, have you heard that our medicine garden has entered a no-harvest period now!"
"That's right! I just came out of seclusion, please tell me what's going on?"
"It is said that our medicine garden was stolen! And the thief was particularly cruel. He uprooted all the herbs and left nothing behind! Those who looted it are called clean!"
"What? The medicine garden has been stolen? Has anyone been caught?"
"Not yet, that thief is very cunning and didn't leave any clues, so you should be careful not to let that thief steal your home!"
"Thank you brother for reminding me!"
As Chen Ye walked by, all he heard was words like this, and he couldn't help but cover the brim of his hat with his hands, for fear that others would recognize him.
Chen Ye couldn't help but secretly thought, "I didn't expect this impact to be so big..."
