Qin Fang and his group naturally didn't encounter such peak level strongmen; otherwise, no one in their group would have survived to escape.

A master of that level, among the people Qin Fang knows, seems only Qianyu Divine Sword Chu Tianji could stand against.

Unfortunately, Chu Tianji has already retired from the martial world and even handed over his Qianyu Divine Sword to Qin Fang, asking him to pass it on to the Kunlun Sect.

Moreover, the fact that Chu Tianji killed Tang Mingyuan, though hardly anyone knows, Qin Fang is very clear that this great master is likely to leave Jiangzhou with his only daughter...

Even if he doesn't leave Jiangzhou, he will definitely find a new place to continue his seclusion!

Besides him, Qin Fang knows no other master who could contend with an apex strongman like Abe Kiyomi... not even Eight Extremes Fist Grandmaster Elder Niu!

Of course, their luck was quite good, as they managed to avoid the same path as Abe Kiyomi, thus resolving this enormous crisis.

"Old Qin, what did you get this time?"

As Qin Fang and his group quickly left the Musashi School's territory, preparing to return to the city, Ji Xiang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Primarily because Qin Fang infiltrated the Musashi School for quite a long time and caused such a big explosion that even the Iga School's Grandmaster Peak Strongman personally came after Qin Fang. Thus, Ji Xiang suspected Qin Fang might have gotten something valuable and couldn't help but ask.

"Basically just a pile of trash..."

Qin Fang shook his head, speaking indifferently. Indeed, the repository of the Musashi School was full of items of little value, at least for martial artists they weren't very valuable.

"No treasure? Could Kawada Musashi, that old bastard, be crazy?"

Upon hearing Qin Fang's answer, Ji Xiang couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed, and also vented a bit about that old bastard Kawada Musashi.

All this fuss over a pile of useless trash, risking not only themselves but their descendants too, seemed truly not worth it!

"Idiot! Old Qin said 'basically,' which means there's still a little bit of good stuff... Old Qin, stop keeping us in suspense, what exactly did you get?"

But Monk Wukong's eyes suddenly brightened, he clapped Ji Xiang on the head, then asked with a grin.

Clearly, inspired by Ji Xiang's reminder, he picked up on the nuance in Qin Fang's words...

"Can't hide it from you, you drunken monk! It's not anything particularly special, just a stalk of... Lingyuan Grass!"

Qin Fang chuckled. He intended to tease them a bit, but since Monk Wukong asked, he had no need to hide it and answered with a smile.

"Hiss~~~"

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Monk Wukong and the others, who were indeed quite expectant, couldn't help but gasp, notably Monk Wukong, Song Qingshan, and Sakura.

Evidently, merely hearing the name, they understood the origins of this herb...

"Spiritual Medicine?"

Ji Xiang was a bit slow to react, perhaps due to his background, but seeing the responses from the others, he quickly caught on and instinctively asked.

"That's right, a middle grade spiritual medicine!"

Qin Fang nodded affirmatively.

"Alive?"

Ji Xiang was still in a bit of a daze, finding it hard to believe and asked again.

Spiritual medicine, even before the world changed, was a tremendously valuable herb, and the unveiling of each spiritual medicine could lead to great conflicts.

With the current dramatic changes in the world, spiritual medicines have almost vanished, with only a few ancient sects perhaps retaining one or two...

Moreover, there's the possibility that the spiritual medicine itself has died, and its seeds have yet to mature...

Every spiritual medicine almost always has a owner, with a vast and powerful force behind it overseeing and nurturing it... It's simply impossible for it to be released to the outside world!

Even news of the spiritual medicine would be tightly sealed, to avoid drawing disaster upon the forces guarding them!

Wild spiritual medicines are even scarcer, nearly impossible to find, barring some forbidden zones inaccessible to humans, perhaps containing some spiritual medicines, other places frequented by people simply wouldn't have any…

If before, a spiritual medicine would provoke a major battle, now... a single spiritual medicine could drag the entire martial world into a bloody storm.

Even someone like Miyamoto Musashi, almost at half-step Grandmaster Level, was willing to abandon easily attainable power for the sake of a spiritual medicine, illustrating the immense allure of spiritual medicine.

"Alive..."

Qin Fang nodded.

"Holy crap! You're a beast..."

Hearing Qin Fang's answer, Ji Xiang was stunned for quite a while, then angrily cursed, utterly defeated by Qin Fang's unbeatable luck.

A living spiritual medicine, such a thing is truly a rare encounter!

But it just so happens that this spiritual medicine didn't end up in the hands of ancient factions like Shaolin, Kunlun, or Tang Sect, nor in a second-tier major faction like the Six Great Holy Lands in Japan, but rather fell into the hands of the Musashi School, a minor faction considered mid-level even among ninja sects...

The most crucial part is that it seems the Musashi School has always kept this information under wraps, with only the Sect Master knowing about it all along...

Yet even so, Qin Fang unexpectedly got involved, first taking down Miyamoto Musashi, then breaking into the Musashi School's treasure repository, and conveniently stealing this spiritual medicine...

Moreover, Qin Fang took Kawada Musashi along as well, so what he took from the Musashi School's treasure vault is known only to the people in front of them.

People like Hattori Hisanari from the Iga School and even those from Asama Shrine have no way of knowing... the treasure vault was blasted to ruins, making it impossible to find any clues!

"Don't worry, good things are, of course, for everyone to share, you won't miss out..."

Qin Fang smiled, speaking nonchalantly.

A living spiritual medicine is also very useful to them, but he wouldn't hoard it, especially since he still held the even better Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva.

The benefit of Lingyuan Grass is that it's still alive and can continue to grow; although its efficacy is slightly lesser, as long as it doesn't die, it can continuously produce some spiritual liquid or bear Lingyuan Fruits, which is obviously much better than the finite Golden Dragon Saliva.

"Of course, we can't let it be easy for you, kid, so many good things make people drool..."

Ji Xiang and the others said with a laugh.

It was just casual talk, and no one took it too seriously.

Their company had managed to come this far, truly like brothers through life and death. Although Lingyuan Grass was exceptionally precious, Qin Fang was never stingy, which they trusted.

"Old Qin, what are your plans next?"

The Lingyuan Grass business was merely a simple interlude; soon, with calm minds, everyone started racking their brains for the upcoming plans.

The matter with the Musashi School was settled; although Qin Fang and others' identities were exposed, few truly knew them.

With both Kawada Musashi and his son deceased, it seemed besides a hooligan leader in Sapporo, no one else knew their true identities.

No one knew, so with a change of appearance, even if they appeared openly in Sapporo, no one would recognize them.

But the issue was, this was a bit contrary to their plans and goals...

Qin Fang was somewhat troubled as well, as this time things had gotten out of hand. Not only had they offended the Iga School, but also killed one of their Grandmaster Peak strongmen.

Because of this, Hattori Hisanari would never let it go easily... Qin Fang wasn't afraid of this Japanese martial arts genius, but the vast power behind him left Qin Fang, alone and unsupported, feeling very helpless.

"Miss Sakura, I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Thinking of this, Qin Fang's attention turned to Sakura in the crowd, who always seemed a bit out of place among them.

After all, she wasn't one of them, and each of them felt a slight rejection towards her...

"Are you really planning to participate in the Priest's trial?"

Perhaps because of all the things they had gone through together, Sakura, although not acknowledging herself as Qin Fang's ally, no longer felt much hostility.

Especially with a few special events occurring, Sakura was deeply intrigued by this enigmatic man...

As the saying goes, once a woman becomes curious about a man, falling for him is just around the corner!

For this statement, Qin Fang's maidservant Qin Zi deeply agreed, so she remained as alert as possible towards Sakura, yet still couldn't stop someone else's thoughts.

Eventually, feeling helpless, she could only watch and let it be.

"Exactly!"

Qin Fang nodded, speaking affirmatively.

The Priest's trial is a very promising opportunity; though full of danger and thorns, it's a very viable pathway to complete the ultimate mission.

However, to Japan, Qin Fang and his group were undoubtedly outsiders... Even though Hattori Sanzo and Qin Zi were considered Japanese, they weren't qualified for the Priest's trial.

To resolve this hassle, the only person Qin Fang could seek help from was this Holy Woman of Sakura, who had stayed by his side.

"I can help you!"

Sakura stared intently at Qin Fang, their gaze locked for quite a while before she softly spoke, her tone rather grave.

"But I have a condition..."

However, before Qin Fang could breathe a sigh of relief, Sakura's tone shifted, adding this sentence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast a recommendation ticket, monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
