Outside the East Gate of the Natural Garden.
A total of 150 disciples and nearly 10 elders from the East Courtyard, West Courtyard, and North Courtyard were gathered there!
The one leading the group of elders was Elder Ouyang. Elder Ouyang's aura was deep and steady. Although he was in charge of the affairs of the four branches, he still held an important position in the Everlasting Academy's Elder Council.
"Sigh …"
Elder Ouyang first glanced at the large amount of Red Celestial Herbs and Green Celestial Herbs presented by the disciples of the East Courtyard.
Then, he looked at the disciples of the Second Northwest Courtyard whose faces were swollen and had deep handprints. Some of them were covered in wounds and had even lost all their teeth. He could not help but sigh helplessly.
The other nine elders behind him had the same expression as Elder Ouyang. However, what was even more clear on their faces was shock. This was especially so when they looked at Xing Jue, who was not far away. The shock became even more intense.
"Elder Ouyang! You must uphold justice for us! "
"This Xing Jue is from the same sect, but not only did he steal our Immortal Herb, he even stole our storage bracelets and made us slap ourselves. He's simply lawless and doesn't put the Everlasting Academy in his eyes!"
Seeing Elder Ouyang's hesitant expression, the disciples of the Second Northwest Courtyard knelt on the ground and begged with grievances.
"Elder, please uphold justice for us!"
Behind those disciples, nearly 100 disciples of the Second Northwest Courtyard knelt on the ground at the same time.
Not only had they been robbed by the disciples of the East Courtyard led by Xing Jue, but they had also knelt in front of Xing Jue and slapped themselves in the face. The Second Northwest Courtyard had lost all face.
Now that they had walked out of the Natural Garden, the first thing they did was to report the matter to the elders. At this point, they could no longer care about their face. What they wanted most was to make Xing Jue receive the most severe punishment, preferably a death sentence.
This was because in the Everlasting Courtyard, it was a felony to attack a fellow disciple for no reason. What Xing Jue had done was obviously even more outrageous.
"Xing Jue, is this true?"
However, Elder Ouyang did not even look at that disciple's pleading. Instead, he looked at Xing Jue, who was not far away.
When they saw Elder Ouyang look over, the Eastern District disciples, who had been feeling smug because the Northwestern and Northwestern District disciples had knelt before them and slapped themselves, were shocked. Waves of fear and lingering fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Even so, they couldn't say anything. Instead, they turned their praying gazes to Xing Jue because they could only entrust their last hope to the leader of the Dragon Group.
"Elder Ouyang, this is true."
Xing Jue was calm and composed. Not only was he neither servile nor overbearing, he did not explain further. Compared to the various verbal attacks from the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses, Xing Jue only confirmed the matter with a simple sentence.
"Alright, I got it!"
"These are the rewards that the Eastern District has received for harvesting the immortal herbs. Take them back to the Eastern District!"
However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing Xing Jue's words, Elder Ouyang's expression did not change at all. Instead, he nodded slightly and waved to an elder behind him.
When the elder handed over a thousand green immortal herbs and six bottles of Body Refining Essence to Xing Jue, almost everyone present was shocked. Even Xing Jue was surprised by this result.
This was especially so for the disciples of the North and West Courtyards. They had suffered grievances, and when they complained to the elders, their mouths were almost torn.
However, not only did Xing Jue and the disciples of the Eastern District not receive any punishment, but they had also received such a generous reward.
Six bottles of Body Refining Essence and a thousand immortal herbs. This was simply the total amount of immortal herbs that they had collected in the past. In fact, the number of immortal herbs this time was even higher. This was simply unimaginable to them. The result was completely different from what they had expected.
"Elder, this …" Seeing this, the disciple of the Western District could not help but step forward and say.
"Shut up!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he received a stern reprimand from Elder Ouyang. At the same time, the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses also felt a majestic pressure.
The strength of the pressure was like an invisible weight that fell from the sky, making it difficult for them to breathe.
In the face of such a powerful pressure, the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses did not dare to speak any nonsense and could only silently lower their heads. However, most of them looked at the disciples of the Eastern District with hidden bitterness, especially Xing Jue.
"Thank you, Elder Ouyang!"
Seeing this, Xing Jue roughly understood everything. After respectfully receiving the generous reward, he rushed back to the Eastern District with the disciples of the Eastern District under the complicated gazes of the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses.
"You have six intermediate Asura warriors and nearly a hundred beginner Asura warriors. Whether in terms of numbers or strength, there is a huge gap between you and the Eastern District!"
"But even so, you have been suppressed by the Eastern District to such an extent. Let's not talk about who was right or wrong in taking the Immortal Grass. Just based on your performance alone, you have no right to report others."
"In addition, I believe that a disciple who can defeat a hundred in a battle of fifty will not be a scourge of the Limitless Academy. Instead, he will be the pride of the Limitless Academy."
"On the contrary, your performance has disappointed me. You all better behave yourselves!"
Just as the disciples of the Eastern District got up and flew towards the Eastern District, Elder Ouyang sternly reprimanded the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses from behind Xing Jue and the others.
When the disciples of the Eastern District heard this voice, they were all shocked. Soon after, their faces were brimming with incomparable joy.
Previously, when Xing Jue forced the disciples of the Northern and Western Campuses to kneel in front of them and slap themselves, they already felt refreshed and the anger in their hearts had completely dissipated.
Originally, they thought that they would be severely punished for walking out of the Nature Garden. However, when they heard Elder Ouyang's decision, they were simply overjoyed. The joy they felt at this moment could not be expressed in words and was extremely brilliant.
"Ah, it seems that Elder Ouyang is a person who can distinguish right from wrong. The Limitless Academy is fortunate to have such an elder!"
Apart from the other disciples, Xing Jue's face was also brimming with a faint smile. Xing Jue had seen Elder Ouyang when he participated in the academy entrance examination.
However, after today, his position in Xing Jue's heart was completely different. Putting aside his strength, Elder Ouyang's ability to distinguish right from wrong was already worthy of Xing Jue's respect.
After returning to the Eastern District, the members of the Dragon Group gathered together to celebrate. Many of the disciples even retold the story of the Nature Garden with exaggerated details.
As for the members who did not participate in the harvesting of the immortal herbs, after hearing about the experience, their faces were also full of joy and excitement. It was as if they were the ones who had participated in the harvesting.
However, while everyone was extremely happy that the Northern and Western Campuses had suffered a huge setback at the hands of the Dragon Group, in their hearts, Xing Jue, the leader of the Dragon Group, was becoming more and more important.
After the lively banquet, the real climax had just begun. Xing Jue actually began to distribute the rewards that they had obtained from harvesting the immortal herbs in front of everyone!
Each of the 1,000 Green Immortal Herbs was a good medicine for treating injuries. In the world of Shura warriors, the pill was not very effective. Only the immortal herbs could relieve pain and allow the injured to recover quickly.
However, even though the Green Immortal Herbs were so valuable, Xing Jue was not stingy at all. Regardless of whether they had participated in the harvesting or not, they all received the same amount of immortal herbs as a reward.
This was something that no one could have imagined. The person who had contributed the most to the harvesting of the immortal herbs was undoubtedly Xing Jue. However, Xing Jue had actually only received an equivalent amount of immortal herbs as a reward.
At this moment, the members of the Dragon Group looked at the ten immortal herbs in their hands that exuded a rich medicinal fragrance. They were so excited that tears were flowing out of their eyes. They were indescribably touched.
"Zhang Meng, if you drip this Body-Refining Essence into water and bathe in it, you will receive an unexpected cultivation effect."
"There are not many female disciples in the Dragon Group, so you should just drip half a bottle every day. These two bottles are enough for you to cultivate four times."
However, just as everyone was extremely touched by Xing Jue's distribution method, Xing Jue actually took out two bottles of Body-Refining Essence and handed them to Zhang Meng.
Looking at the two exquisite emerald jade bottles in Xing Jue's hands, Zhang Meng's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Body-Refining Essence had many benefits. Not to mention the shocking effect of speeding up one's cultivation, just bathing in the water containing the Body-Refining Essence would be beneficial to one's body.
If the Green Immortal Herb was already a rare sacred medicine in everyone's heart, then this Body-Refining Essence was simply a miraculous medicine that they did not even dare to imagine.
"Xing Jue, this … this Body-Refining Essence is too valuable. I … "
"We can accept the immortal herbs, but we can't accept this Body-Refining Essence."
At this moment, Zhang Meng really wanted to take the two bottles of Body-Refining Essence and experience the magical effects of it.
However, as soon as she thought about how she had mocked and ridiculed Xing Jue previously, she would feel extremely guilty. Her face would turn red and she would be too embarrassed to accept the bottles.
"That's right, Xing Jue. If we were to practice this Body-Refining Essence together, it would only last us for four days."
"However, if you were to use it alone, a few months would not be a problem. Now that the Dragon Group is able to suppress the North and West Courtyards, it is all thanks to you. Therefore, such a sacred medicine should be enjoyed by you alone!"
After Zhang Meng, the other members, regardless of whether they were male or female, all stepped forward and said. Although they all wanted to experience the effects of the Body-Refining Essence, they also knew how precious it was.
If it was just for them to experience it, it would be better to let Xing Jue use it alone. This was because the reason why the Dragon Group and the East Courtyard were so powerful now was all because of Xing Jue.
Now, they had realized that they would only become stronger if Xing Jue became stronger. This was because they needed this young man to protect their self-esteem and pride.
"We, the members of the Dragon Group, have no hierarchy. Everyone should enjoy blessings and endure misfortunes together."
"It's just a few bottles of Body-Refining Essence. In the future, when we enter the Central Courtyard, as long as we perform well, we can get more."
"Now, everyone is just trying it out and seeing how effective it is!"
However, in the face of everyone's dissuasion, Xing Jue smiled. Then, ignoring Zhang Meng's blushing face, he lifted her hand and forcefully shoved the two bottles of Body-Refining Essence into her hand.
