Woes of the kingdom

A somber atmosphere spread all around. The king who had been silent almost throughout the banquet finally spoke up.

"Branch Chief Yang Qing, I won't beat around the bush. The reason I invited you over is because of the obsidian serpents and the report that was graciously handed to us about the fire adler bear, the gorge with the profound yin artifact, the parasitic purple flower spore sycamore tree, and the jade nature stone protected by the mountain jade serpent.

While the latter three are not much of an issue for us the former two are of grave concern to our kingdom.." said the King.

His remark was met by welcomed nods all around the table. Every member present except for Yang Qing had grave expressions regarding the news touching on the two subject matters.
