Holding onto Little White's fur, Duan Yao entered Ethereal Summit and saw more than a dozen well-fed snow lion cubs rolling on the ground, the supreme spiritual treasure golden shield hovering in the valley, and Hao Ren and three beauties busying themselves in the spiritual fields barefoot.
Little White put Duan Yao on the ground, and the golden shield which was hovering in boredom shot out a golden light at Little White's butt.
Little White jumped up and immediately flew over to fight the golden shield.
Standing in the valley in confusion, Duan Yao didn't see the legendary Herb King Master and didn't know what to do.
She looked at the three beauties beside Hao Ren and realized that none of them was Zhao Yanzi.
Stepping on his black disk, Zhen Congming went up and down in every corner of the valley and made all kinds of marks.
Array formations were similar to architecture in that they both needed to build a structure. Zhen Congming was studying the terrain and the flow of the five elements to build a large array formation.
Seeing that they were all busy with their own things, and Herb King Master didn't show up, Duan Yao looked around and didn't know what to do.
"Come here!" Standing in the spiritual fields, Hao Ren stood up and waved at her.
Gritting her teeth, Duan Yao walked over.
She really wanted to die with Hao Ren, but her hidden daggers were all taken away when she was locked up in the Repent Cliff. Now, she had no weapon to defend herself, and she was no match for Hao Ren with just her fists.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Duan Yao cautiously.
Xie Yujia looked at her sympathetically.
After the last battle, Ethereal Summit was in a mess, but it was tidier now because of Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's efforts.
Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao from head to toe. There were some tear stains on her face, and there were two bruises on her wrists that were sticking out of her sleeves. The skin was a little rotten, and it seemed that the bruises had hurt her bones.
"Sky Mountain Sect is really cruel." Hao Ren thought.
"Yujia, give her two antidote pills," Hao Ren said.
"Ok!" Yujia also noticed the shocking bruises on Duan Yao's wrists, and she felt sorry for her since Duan Yao was about the same age as Zhao Yanzi.
She took out two pills from her spatial ring and tossed them to Duan Yao in a neither heavy nor light manner.
However, when Duan Yao saw the two fourth-grade elixirs flying towards her, she raised her right hand and snapped them open.
Two precious fourth-grade pills fell into the muddy paddy field just like that.
Duan Yao puffed up her cheeks. "I don't need your charity!"
"You bitten Lu Dongbin …" The Lu sisters pulled a long face and were about to get angry, but Hao Ren raised his hand to stop them.
Xie Yujia shook her head helplessly, thinking that this little girl's temper was no worse than Zhao Yanzi's.
"There is still about half an acre of land left. I'll leave it to you," Hao Ren said to Duan Yao as he pulled the Lu sisters out of the paddy field.
Duan Yao glared at Hao Ren, unable to suppress her anger.
"Yujia, don't worry. Let her do it," Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.
After half a second of hesitation, Xie Yujia nodded and walked out of the field.
She hadn't sorted out the spiritual herbs sent by the two sects yet. Besides, she had used up all her essence-unlocking notes, and she needed to draw more.
Outside the valley, the cultivators of the various sects were flying around, and Ethereal Summit was like a hub.
Seeing that Suyang Master of Qingcheng Sect and Barbaric Bull Master of Chuxiong Sect had recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm, all the sects on Sixth Heaven were desperately searching for the spiritual herbs that Xie Yujia had mentioned.
Since all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators' realms were locked, the sect that unlocked the dharma note first would have an absolute advantage over the other sects.
If the other sects couldn't find the spiritual herbs, and their masters couldn't recover their realms, the power structure on Sixth Heaven would have to be rearranged!
Looking up at the cultivators outside, Duan Yao gritted her teeth and jumped into the paddy field with tears in her eyes.
Her hands were bruised and festered after being locked by the Ice Fire Shackles for a few days. However, she had no choice since her dad had thrown her out of Ethereal Summit.
She was no longer the only daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master and the pearl of Sky Mountain Sect. Her pride was gone!
While crying, Duan Yao took out the stones in the paddy field and moved them to the edge of the field. In the past dozen years, her only task was cultivation. Other than that, she didn't have to do anything herself.
In Sky Mountain Sect, only the low-level disciples were responsible for tidying up the spiritual fields, and she didn't have to do anything.
Soaking in the water, her bruised wrists hurt as if they were burning.
Hao Ren stood by the side of the field and watched her work. The Lu sisters stood by Hao Ren and didn't say a word.
Remembering that she had been abandoned by Sky Mountain Sect, Duan Yao cried even harder. When she met Hao Ren's cold gaze, she swallowed her tears back.
"First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect, Wang Dong, is here to see Herb King Master!" A majestic voice sounded outside the valley.
Duan Yao straightened her sore waist and looked toward the entrance of the valley.
"Dad still doesn't want to leave me. He sent the First Elder to take me back!"
"Sky Mountain Sect respectfully offers three 10,000-year-old golden hammers! Master, please give us the dharma note! "The voice of the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect sounded again.
"Sky Mountain Sect!" Hao Ren circulated his nature essence and said, "Sky Mountain Sect needs twice the amount!"
"This …" The First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect hesitated for a moment before answering immediately, "Ok! As long as Master doesn't hold grudges against us, Sky Mountain Sect will do its best! "
Hearing the First Elder's words, Duan Yao's tears fell down again.
He didn't mention Duan Yao at all, completely giving up on her. Right now, Sky Mountain Sect only cared about whether they could get the dharma note instead of saving Duan Yao!
"Three 10,000-year-old golden hammers and three 10,000-year-old bronze drum skins. Master, please give us one dharma note!" the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect yelled. His tone was very sincere, but there was also a little bit of anxiety.
Back then, he was one of the elders of Sky Mountain Sect who attacked Ethereal Summit. However, times had changed, and he had to admit defeat. After all, Ethereal Summit's essence-unlocking notes had taken all the sects on Sixth Heaven hostage!
Even though they were mortal enemies, they could only beg for mercy now!
"Little White!" Hao Ren yelled.
Little White who had been fighting with the golden shield hid in Xie Yujia's cave abode and flew out of the valley with a dharma note in its mouth. Then, it successfully got the level 6 spiritual herbs of Sky Mountain Sect.
These spiritual herbs were still fresh, showing Sky Mountain Sect's rich resources.
"Thank you for the dharma note, Master!" The First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect flew away after getting the dharma note.
Hearing the First Elder's voice getting farther and farther away, Duan Yao's expression was stiff, and her red lips were bleeding from biting her teeth.
No one cared about her, a low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator. Facing the huge difference in strength, it was enough for them to appease Herb King Master and let Sky Mountain Sect survive.
Even if they had to pay double the price, Sky Mountain Sect would get back to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The moment that the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect left, another voice sounded at the entrance of the valley, "Liu Heng, the senior disciple of Qingcheng Sect, offers three 10,000-year-old daphne incense sticks.
Qingcheng Sect rummaged through their treasure vault and found three 10,000-year-old daphne incense sticks, so they sent them to Ethereal Summit immediately.
Now that all the sects were desperately looking for spiritual herbs, they didn't know if Master would suddenly raise the price. If the price rose to six spiritual herbs for one dharma note, they could only bite the bullet and accept it like Sky Mountain Sect did.
Ethereal Summit had the right to set the price and release the price, and they were completely in the hands of Ethereal Summit.
"Yes!" Hao Ren answered.
Having just returned to the valley, Little White had to fly out and bring back the three spiritual herbs. Xie Yujia had just finished drawing another dharma note, and Little White sent it out.
"Thank you for the dharma note, Master!" Liu Heng of Qingcheng Sect's voice trembled with excitement.
The cultivators of the other sects who stayed at the entrance of the valley were all envious. If they weren't in Herb King Master's territory, they would have tried to snatch the dharma note.
A dharma note that could restore the realms of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was enough to make two sects fight each other to the death!
That was why these masters who had lost their realms all stayed around Ethereal Summit and didn't dare to stay in their sects on Sixth Heaven. If the dharma note left the territory of Ethereal Summit, it would be intercepted and killed on the way!
It was only because the Herb King Patriarch was keeping watch in the valley that the sects did not really start fighting. The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had recovered their realms with the dharma note didn't dare to fight here.
The masters who hadn't recovered their realms didn't dare to leave the territory of Ethereal Summit. Some masters had recovered their realms, but they hadn't. If they left this area, they would be killed by the masters who had recovered their realms!
After Liu Heng of Qingcheng Sect got the essence-unlocking dharma note, the cultivators standing at the entrance of the valley quickly flew back to their camps to report the latest news.
As some masters recovered their realms and some were still at the Core Formation Realm, the atmosphere around Ethereal Summit became more and more intense.
The dharma notes that Xie Yujia could draw casually made the sects on Sixth Heaven go all out and search their treasure vaults and dangerous places where spiritual herbs grew!
“OK!” Zhen Congming flew around and landed beside Hao Ren on the black disk. "I've marked the prices. If you can find 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators, and 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to work for you, I'll help you rebuild the grand array formation!"
He had skipped class and was in a hurry to go back.
With a faint smile, Hao Ren gathered all the nature essence in his body and shouted, "In the next two hours, I'll trade four level 6 spiritual herbs for one essence-unlocking dharma note!"
Knowing that Xie Yujia would consume nature essence to draw dharma notes, he raised the price decisively!
The cultivators who were scouting outside were alarmed when they heard Hao Ren's words. According to the price increase, the later they found the spiritual herbs, the more they would lose!
The already tense atmosphere became even tenser. They had to find the spiritual herbs and hand them over to Ethereal Summit as soon as possible!
"If the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are willing to sacrifice 100 years of cultivation strength, I can also give them one dharma note," Hao Ren continued after a pause.
