Chu Wenyuan stepped forward to observe, then shook his head and said he didn't know him.
"This is an evolved soul-eating insect that specializes in eating the essence of herbs, devouring spiritual energy and evolving through it."
"I got these soul-eating insects by chance in Yaowang Pavilion."
"Look at these herbs again..." Tang Ming took out a piece of blood ginseng that had been devoured by spiritual energy and medicinal properties.
"Huh?"
Chu Song made a sound of surprise and quickly walked up to observe the blood ginseng. He even rubbed the root of the blood ginseng with his hands and crushed it into powder easily.
A powder without any medicinal properties.
"Mr. Tang, is this what the soul-eating insects did?"
"Yes, all the medicinal properties and spiritual energy contained in the herbal medicine have been eaten away, so the blood ginseng has become a useless medicine."
"I've seen this kind of useless medicine."
Chu Song's face was extremely solemn: "When the Chu family transported medicinal materials for Yaowang Valley, it was because of unknown reasons that the herbs turned into useless medicine, which caused Yaowang Valley to become furious."
"and."
"My eldest brother and I were on the phone at that time. My eldest brother made it clear that bugs were found in the herbs. At the time, he thought they were borers and ignored them."
Tang Mingwen nodded and continued: "The source of the medicinal materials in Yaowang Pavilion is Yaowang Valley, right?"
"right."
Chu Wenyuan answered: "Yaowang Pavilion is the secular agent of Yaowang Valley. All medicinal materials are transported from Yaowang Valley."
"Then things will become clear."
Tang Ming said calmly: "All the herbs transported by your Chu family that day were turned into useless medicine. The main reason is because of these soul-eating insects!"
"The soul-eating insects devoured the medicinal properties and spiritual energy, turning all the medicinal materials into useless products. Then Yaowang Valley thought you were cheating, so it killed you."
After hearing this, Chu Wenyuan's eyes flashed and he clenched his fists.
The same is true for Chu Song.
"Mr. Tang, can these soul-eating insects alone swallow so many herbs?"
Chu Song asked: "The herbs my eldest brother transported were worth more than 50 billion, and they were transported in four large trucks."
Tang Ming didn't explain much, but took out a brand new 50-year-old blood ginseng and placed it on the table.
"Buzz buzz—" More than a dozen soul-devouring insects suddenly became active, fluttering their wings and buzzing, and swarmed up.
Less than five minutes.
A blood ginseng plant with strong Qi and blood turned into waste.
"You see, not to mention four large trucks of medicinal materials, even forty trucks will be devoured."
Tang Ming spoke calmly.
Chu Wenyuan and Chu Song were shocked, and looked at the soul-eating insect, full of fear.
A fifty-year-old blood ginseng would take about five days to digest, even by a monk at the Golden Elixir realm, and these little bugs would devour all its medicinal essence within five minutes.
How terrifying! "It turns out that the culprits are these soul-eating insects."
Chu Song spoke sadly: "But it's too late to know now. Yaowang Valley will never apologize to the Chu family for this matter, and the people of my Chu family who were killed will not live again."
Yaowang Valley massacred the direct descendants of the Chu family.
The Chu family of Jinling was even sealed inside Jinling City. Once they went out, they would be killed without a doubt.
In just a few months, the huge Chu family of Jinling fell apart. If it weren't for Tang Ming's elixir, the Chu family would have already fallen.
"The dead are gone, but the living are like this."
Tang Ming comforted him and then asked: "What I want to ask today is, where did the batch of medicinal materials transported by the Chu family come from?"
"Soul-eating insects have never appeared before, and there will be no accidents during transportation."
"The only possibility is that the source of the medicinal materials was contaminated with soul-devouring insect eggs, and then woke up during transportation and began to devour the medicinal herbs."
When Chu Wenyuan heard this, he fell into deep thoughts.
After a while.
Chu Wenyuan raised his head and said: "Mr. Tang, if you want to trace the source, it may be difficult."
"This batch of medicinal materials comes from all over the world, such as Daxinganling, Changbai Mountain, Shennongjia and other medicinal material bases. There are also dozens of herbal medicine markets in different regions for purchase."
"And these purchasing points are not necessarily the source, because they are also collected from retail households, and some are obtained by some medicinal collectors who go into the mountains alone to collect medicinal herbs..." Chu Wenyuan smiled bitterly: "So,
The method of tracing back to the source probably won’t work.”
Tang Ming also felt a headache.
He underestimated the complexity of purchasing medicinal materials.
According to this statement, it is impossible to trace the origin of that batch of herbs.
"I remember one thing..." Chu Song suddenly said: "My eldest brother was chased by the masters of Yaowang Valley. The Chu family's guards suffered numerous casualties. They fought and retreated, and then came to a cliff."
"Finally bald, my eldest brother sent me a text message."
"He said that there was an insect nest hidden inside a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plant, and he hid it on the edge of the cliff."
Insect nest?
Tang Ming's expression changed: "Do you know the specific place where the insect nest is hidden?"
Chu Song shook his head and said: "I don't know. The text message only said it was Guanglin Mountain in the suburbs. The eldest brother was killed after sending the text message."
"Guanglin Mountain..." Tang Ming stood up suddenly: "I will go over and have a look. If it is really a nest of soul-devouring insects, it will be considered a great contribution to your Chu family."
"In the future, like the Guo family and the Yang family, we will obtain the rights to be distributors of the Xuantian Group."
"Chu Song, remember to forward your brother's text message to me."
Finished.
He walked out of Zijin Villa impatiently, drove a car and sped towards the suburbs.
... Guanglin Mountain is located more than 20 miles southeast of Jinling City.
Because the mountain forest is dense and vast, it is called Guanglin Mountain.
Tang Ming sat in the car and drove away according to the coordinates provided by Chu Song.
Half an hour later.
Tang Ming parked his car next to a rushing river, which was a tributary of the Yangtze River Basin, and Guanglin Mountain was right on the edge of the water.
"Here we are, right at the top of the mountain."
Tang Ming got out of the car and looked up at the majestic mountains ahead.
He did not go directly up the mountain, but stood at the edge of the rushing river and looked behind him.
"You've been following me for so long, why don't you come out?"
Tang Ming spoke calmly, but the sound rippled and spread far and wide.
"Haha, Master Tang is really vigilant."
A soft laugh sounded.
Whoa! When the sound first sounded, it was still on the other side of the sky. The moment it landed, a figure suddenly rushed over.
A figure appeared, an old man with silver hair, walking through the air. The spiritual energy around his body fluctuated violently, stirring the surrounding air and sending out gusts of wind.
A strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm! Tang Ming narrowed his eyes coldly: "Are you a strong man from the Xiang family, Xiang Zongping?"
"That's right, it's me."
Xiang Zongping chuckled: "Master Tang is out of the city alone. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Tang Ming didn't speak, just looked at this person quietly.
At this time, in the mountains and forests in the distance, four more powerful men of the Golden Core Realm flashed.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Tang Ming's escape route was blocked.
"Master Tang, there were some conflicts at the last elixir conference, so we didn't buy the elixir. It's really a pity."
Walking towards Zongping.
Tang Ming laughed sarcastically: "Why, you came all the way out of the city with me just to buy elixirs from me?"
"Of course not, we just want Master Tang to come with us."
Xiang Zongping's spiritual energy surged around his body, giving people a powerful pressure.
The four peak Jindan Realm people behind him also looked bad and surrounded him.
