《The Heavens Shall Fall》Chapter 25: Poison
Advertisement
After crushing the leaf, a concentrated mass of energy appeared in his palm, and he immediately directed it to the sturdy looking wall beside him.
BOOM!
The energy caused an explosion creating a huge crater on the wall.
"What was that?" The hall master immediately rushed to Ming Li and saw the damaged wall. He frowned and looked at the remains of the cheap plants beside Ming Li.
"Did you create that using those plants?"
Ming Li simply nodded bashfully.
The hall master was shocked on what Ming Li created with what they consider trash plants. "The crystal leaf you created seems to be powerful, however you damaged sect property so you need to pay for it. You can continue but avoid damaging anything."
"Pay!?" Ming Li felt down when he heard the word pay.
The hall master left without saying how much Ming Li has to pay and just smiled at Ming Li.
"His talent is really rare." The hall master thought while walking away.
On the other hand, Ming Li was deeply regretting his action on damaging the wall. He was just too excited to test out his creation that he never thought the wall would actually cave in. The wall seems to have been reinforced by natural energy, so he casually directed the energy into it.
Wallowing with regret, Ming Li created several different crystal leaf. He focused on creating attack based crystal leaves and stayed in the creation hall for several days, focused on creating stronger crystal leaves.
Meanwhile outside the sect, the person who saw him was talking with the member of the crystal leaf sect. "Zhang Da, my master requested you presence today since I saw your underlings, the Wei brothers chasing after someone from your sect earlier"
"Ru Gao, what do you care about the sect's internal affairs?" Zhang Da frowned.
Ru Gao smiled and said "We have a common enemy right now, so I seek your cooperation. A member of your sect has offended us in some ways and we wish to get rid of him, However we saw him carrying a crystal leaf badge which means he is your fellow disciple thus making things complicated."

Zhang Da's expression changed "So that's why! I wonder what that brat Ming Li did to the Black Spider Guild?"
"Nothing much, if you can just lure him out of the sect so we can get rid of him. It would be the best for both of us." Rug Gao replied
Zhang Da nodded and they continued their plan on luring out Ming Li.
...
After several days, Ming Li went out to go to the weekly trade. He causally strode in town like he has no enemies. He set up his stall in his usual spot and sold divine nature's dew. It was sold faster than usual. It only took a few minutes for him to sell all sixty of it.
In the past few days inside the creation hall, he made divine nature's dew along with crystal leaves. However he never had the time to absorb demonic nature's dew.
On the nearby store, many people eyed him with hostility. They kept waiting for Ming Li to leave his spot and proceed with his usual routine on buying plants outside the sect. However, this time Ming Li didn't go outside, instead he patiently bought what he needed inside the sect. He also felt the killing intent from the people at the nearby store, so he decided to provoke them a bit by arrogantly exposing himself in the streets for some time without any caution.
After that, he proceeded into seclusion inside the creation hall. The place was his safe haven. No regular disciple can bother him and fights are not allowed inside.
He continued this routine for another week, but still, no one dared to attack him openly.
Silently, his level increased to 8th level. Nobody noticed the change, since his aura was always weak from fatigue. His ability to create both nature's dew and crystal leaf became unbelievably fast. Even the hall master was shocked when he saw Ming Li mass producing crystal leaves.
Even with his daily stay in the creation hall, Ming Li never showed the hall master how he created the divine nature's dew.

On the next trade week, Ming Li sold all his nature's dew with ease. However this time some people looked at him with anger and some with pity.
"Something is not right." Ming Li thought.
While walking on the market, he noticed that two specific plants which is necessary to create the nature's dew were out of stock in every store, and one plant he needs for the demonic nature's dew is also missing on the market.
He also heard people talking about him on the streets. It was about his divine nature's dew being fake and causes severe damage to the core after several usage. This rumor was being talked about by everyone everywhere he go, but he was curious how his nature's dew became sold out fast despite of all the rumors.
He then concluded that the rumors weren't as severe as he thought. He even saw people trading his nature's dew. However, when the man who traded for the nature's dew ingested and absorbed it, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and his energy suddenly weakened.
Many people who saw this was shocked. Then someone suddenly said "Isn't that the person who always buys divine natures dew. I believe he already had consumed around eight divine natures dew and he kept boasting about it. But it seem like the rumors are true that it can damage your core."
Many people heard this and glared at Ming Li. Ming Li tried to ignore this one but several people blocked his path. "Fellow disciple it is a crime to plot against majority of disciples by selling unsafe nature's dew. This is the tenth case this week!"
People started to gather, then another group shouted "Since you created that nature's dew, you should know how to cure the side effects."
"Yes! You should cure him!"
More people demanded that Ming Li should help the man. The man was pale faced facing the ground with pained expression. Ming Li approached the man and he circulated his energy in the man's body.
Ming Li frowned as he lifted up his hands away from the man. "Someone tampered with my nature's dew! Some type of poisonous energy was added into my natures due which caused these symptoms."
Another voice came from the crowd "Then cure him if you are so sure about your claim!"
"Alright I will cure him, but I'll need some Blue star flower, green glazed grass, Midnight rose, burning petals flower and a lightning leaf! I've been walking around in the market for some time but I have not seen a single Midnight rose, blue star flower and lightning leaf. If there are anyone of you who have this I would like to buy them."
Someone shouted " If you need them then go out of the sect and search for them in the town market"
"Yeah go and look for it yourself!"
"You should do it!"
Many people voiced their complains and tried to have Ming Li leave and look for the plants. Ming Li felt something was wrong, but he can't act rashly at the moment. These disciples were ready to attack him anytime, since incidents like mass poisoning in the clan was a grave crime.
Most of these disciples were the ones who envied Ming Li the most. They kept expressing their hatred on Ming Li and influenced other disciples. More and more voices could be heard until Ming Li sighed and decided to head out of the sect to look for the plants.
Right now he had no choice, no one would dare to help him in this situation since he have no actual connection in the sect. Duan Ho and his group was in the main sect training and the Apothecary Pavilion second head wouldn't help him with mere earth disciples problems.
