According to Jonny Huang's record, the ancient pond at the bottom of Spring Hill would only appear when the spring water flowed back by the end of each month.
Therefore, the time for picking ice lotus was set to three days later.
During these three days, Finn Chen wrote out several medical materials needed to refine the Ice Lotus and asked Thad Gu and Lowe Han's people to buy them.
There were three Ice lotus plants in total, Finn planned to give one to Jonny, one to Maura Shawn, and the last one reserved for emergencies.
Finn wanted to give it to Maura to achieve the early stage of the Obvious Period and become a Martial Artist.
So that Maura could protect herself if something unexpected were to happen to Finn.
The next day, Thad's efforts in buying the materials did not go smoothly.
The people he sent informed that some of the materials had been bought out by someone, especially ginseng and Polygonum multiflora.
According to the medicine shop owners, someone had bought out all the materials in the whole City C.
That afternoon, Thad got another message.
Someone had beaten the people he sent out.
What's more, instead of leaving after the beating, that person let Thad's people call for backup.
Thad felt helpless and decided to call Finn.
"Master Finn, something came up. The boss of JZ Elixir Hall wanted to sell to us their one-thousand-year-old Polygonum Multiflora. Still, when I send someone to buy it, the boss said that someone had paid twice our price and bought the Polygonum Multiflora."
"And that person had some background. Someone whom the boss can't afford to offend."
"I told Galen to stay at JZ Elixir Hall to find out that person's details."
"But after discovering that Galen wanted to take the Polygonum Multiflora, that person broke Galen's leg and told him to call more people."
"Then, I sent dozens of my people, but that person managed to break their arms or legs. He is still guarding JZ Elixir Hall now."
Thad sounded upset.
"Is that so?" Finn raised his eyebrows.
"Master Finn, they seem to have a Martial Artist backing them up." Thad continued: "They are most likely the one who bought out all the materials."
Thad's subordinate, Howard, was a Martial Artist at the early stage of the Obvious period. Still, he got himself wounded a few days ago, so there was no way to take down such a martial artist.
"I will go there." Finn frowned. After all, Thad's people encountered this because they were purchasing materials for Finn.
Besides, the Polygonum Multiflora was necessary to refine the Ice Lotus.
Finn only wanted to go with Thad there, but Chen's four brothers and sisters were eager to follow after hearing about the news.
Just like that, a group of people came to JZ Elixir Hall.
Finn saw dozens of Thad's subordinates upon getting off the car. They were lying on the ground with a bleeding nose and swollen face, all groaning with pain.
A middle-aged man wearing a flowery shirt was stepping on Galen Zhou, the leader.
"Let him go!"
Thad shouted angrily, Galen was his confidant, but that person had disrespected him deeply.
"Let him go?" The man with a flowery shirt smiled playfully and kicked Galen away.
