"this......."

The shelves that were once piled high with rare medicinal herbs have now become much sparser.

Nearly one-third of the rare medicinal herbs have disappeared.

Moreover, the old man astutely noticed that most of the missing medicinal herbs were rare fire-attribute herbs.

The old man gave Mo Shang a strange look, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

If it weren't for the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's personal order, he probably would have taken action and taught this young man a lesson.

"Hi~"

"Don't get angry, don't get angry, anger will ruin your health and no one can take your place..."

The old man took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his excitement before turning his gaze to Mo Shang.

However, seeing the respectful young man before him, the old man felt a surge of anger.

"Screw your calm and collected attitude!"

Having guarded this treasure trove for so many years, the happiest thing for me every day is staring blankly at the wealth within.

Although the contents of the treasure vault were not his, he had become intimately familiar with them through long-term contact, and even knew them by heart. In fact, unless someone else received a transfer order, they would not be able to take any of the materials out of the vault.

But now, they could only watch helplessly as nearly a third of the treasure trove of medicinal herbs was wasted by the young man before them.

He could no longer contain his anger.

However, the young man's identity was uncertain, and with the order personally given by the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.

"Snapped!"

Mo Shang was sent flying backwards and landed outside the treasure vault.

"Boom!"

Looking at the tightly closed stone door, Mo Shang felt a slight pang of regret.

"Pity......."

The Dou Zun who had been waiting outside immediately approached Mo Shang when he came out.

"How's it going, little brother?"

"Let me tell you, the old red devil who guards this treasure vault is the stingiest person ever."

"Normally, anyone entering this treasure vault has to defer to him. Without the Celestial Venerable's order, even an ordinary Battle Venerable wouldn't be able to take a single coin out of the vault..."

"However, you have the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's order, so even if he is unwilling, he will not be able to stop you."

Only after listening to the description from this Dou Zun expert did Mo Shang understand why he had been slapped away by that old red ghost.

From this perspective, it's actually quite mild of him to have just sent himself flying!

We can't stay here long!

Mo Shang recalled the shelves of rare medicinal herbs in the treasure vault, which were almost a third empty.

Not daring to linger any longer, they hurriedly followed the Dou Zun expert and left.

After leaving the palace, Mo Shang returned the jet-black jade tablet from the Eighth Heavenly Venerable to him.

The Eight Heavenly Venerables looked at the pitch-black jade tablet in their hands and Mo Shang's figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

His expression remained unchanged.

"Half an hour has passed; it seems Mo Shang has a plan in mind."

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable looked at the jade tablet in his hand, knowing that many of the items in that treasure trove were extremely rare to see outside the world.

However, in less than half an hour, Mo Shang had chosen what he wanted, which suggests that he had a clear goal for himself.

After only a slight sigh, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable paid no further attention to Mo Shang.

As for his statement about helping Mo Shang break through to the second-star Dou Zun within three days, it was just a casual remark.

Even if there were things in the treasure vault that could help him, three days was still too short.

Unfortunately, Mo Shang was unaware of all this.

Back in his main hall, Mo Shang sat down cross-legged and silently began to digest the immense medicinal power within his body.

Dozens of rare fire-attribute medicinal herbs were all absorbed into Mo Shang's body.

Now, that enormous, scorching energy is entirely enveloped by the Chaos Fire.

"Refine it for me!"

Mo Shang sat cross-legged, the chaotic fire within his body pulsating continuously in his meridians.

The originally violent medicinal power was transformed into pure battle qi under the refinement of the Chaos Fire.

Then, it flowed continuously through Mo Shang's meridians and eventually returned to his dantian.

As these medicinal herbs were refined, the pure battle qi continuously propelled Mo Shang's strength and realm.

The strength of a one-star Dou Zun gradually began to rise...

Chapter 288 Soul Hall Army Expedition

As the rich medicinal power within Mo Shang's body was gradually refined by the Chaos Fire, it transformed into strands of pure battle qi, which roamed through his meridians and gradually filled Mo Shang's body.

After absorbing the concentrated medicinal power within his body, Mo Shang's strength also began to steadily increase...

"Boom~~"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, while Mo Shang was still immersed in cultivation.

Inside the Soul Palace, a clear bell rang out, instantly resounding throughout the entire hall.

And this was precisely the order from the Three Heavenly Venerables to gather everyone.

"Shh!"

As the bell rang, an invisible wave slowly spread out, ignoring the layers of restrictions within the Soul Palace and sweeping across the large shops, reminding all the powerful cultivators present.

Mo Shang, who was immersed in cultivation, was awakened by the invisible fluctuations emanating from the bell. He instantly realized that three days had passed and it was time for the Soul Palace to mobilize its troops!

"So fast...?"

A hint of melancholy flashed in Mo Shang's eyes. He felt the vast battle qi surging within his body, and a thoughtful expression flickered on his face.

"Three days should be enough for me to break through to the peak of the Two-Star Dou Zun..."

Mo Shang hesitated for a moment, then his aura continued to rise, quickly stabilizing at the peak of the two-star Dou Zun level.

With the Chaos Flame concealing his true power, even the Three Heavenly Venerables would not be able to discover his true strength.

As for his current true strength... nearly a third of the Soul Palace's treasury was embezzled by Mo Shang.

The hidden medicinal power is unimaginable; such immense power would have killed even an eighth-tier magical beast long ago.

Unfortunately, Mo Shang is missing!

Thanks to the medicinal herbs he had taken three days ago, Mo Shang's strength had risen to the late stage of a three-star Dou Zun.

There was even a huge amount of medicinal power within his body that had not yet been fully refined, and now it was all enveloped by the Chaos Fire and settled within his body.

Once he has exhausted all the medicinal power in his body, he might be able to surpass the four-star Dou Zun realm and enter the five-star Dou Zun realm.

However, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Soul Palace, Mo Shang did not reveal his full cultivation level, but only showed his current strength as a peak two-star Dou Zun.

In just three days, he broke through from a one-star Dou Zun to the peak of a two-star Dou Zun. This should be enough to give the Soul Palace members a pleasant surprise.

After all, it's nearly a third of the treasure trove of medicinal herbs. If my strength doesn't improve significantly, it would be a bit unreasonable, and it wouldn't be good to make enemies in front of the Eight Heavenly Venerables and others.

The strength of a two-star Dou Zun at the peak is neither too much nor too little, but it is enough to give the Eight Heavenly Venerables an explanation.

Moreover, relying on the existence of the Chaos Fire, he was able to ignore the violent medicinal power in those herbs and directly consume and refine them.

Such behavior will certainly attract the attention of the Soul Palace even more.

"Boom~"

Another melodious voice rang out, and invisible waves continued to sweep across the hall.

Upon hearing the second chime of the bell, Mo Shang dared not hesitate any longer, stood up, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

This bell is the order for the Soul Palace to act. Since the Three Venerables took command, anyone who has not joined the ranks after the bell has rung three times will be executed!

This is the iron-fisted nature of the Three Venerables leading the team; within the Soul Palace, no one dares to disobey their orders.

"Crench!"

As the palace doors opened, Mo Shang looked up and gazed into the distance. In mid-air, figures flew by, all heading in the same direction.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Shang moved swiftly and followed the crowd towards the gathering point.

When Mo Shang arrived at the square where they had gathered.

A dense crowd of powerful members of the Soul Palace had gathered here.

"Don't hurt me!"

Far away, Mo Shang's figure had just appeared in mid-air when the Eight Heavenly Venerables waved their hands, signaling Mo Shang to come over.

Upon seeing this, Mo Shang flew straight to the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's side and said respectfully, "Eighth Heavenly Venerable."
