After hearing Hao Ren's new condition, the dozens of cultivators guarding the entrance of the valley immediately flew back to their camps.
The purpose of these cultivators standing at the entrance of the valley was to listen to Herb King Master's instructions and count which sects had obtained essence-unlocking notes from Herb King Master.
Hao Ren turned to look at Duan Yao who looked dull and embarrassed in the spiritual fields and shook his head with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, all the masters who hadn't recovered their realms rushed toward the valley.
Although they didn't know what Herb King Master wanted them to do and didn't want to lose 100 years of cultivation strength, level 6 spiritual herbs couldn't be collected easily.
As long as they could recover to the Nascent Soul Realm, it was better to lose 100 years of cultivation strength than to be hunted by other masters who had recovered their realms!
Sensing that many cultivators suddenly gathered at the entrance of Ethereal Summit, Xie Yujia walked out of her cave abode.
"I'm willing to work for Master!"
"Master, please accept me!"
"Qingcheng Sect is indebted to Master, and we'll do anything for you!"
These Yuanying stage ancestors, who used to be arrogant, crowded at the entrance of the valley, scrambling to recommend themselves. They pushed and shoved each other to stand in the front row, hoping that the Great Ancestor in the valley would take a fancy to them.
This scene made all the core completion disciples' jaws drop. In front of Herb King Master of Ethereal Summit, these Nascent Soul Realm masters were all inferior!
Only the masters of Sky Mountain Sect were more cautious. They wanted to recommend themselves, but they didn't think that Herb King Master would choose them.
In the spiritual fields in the valley, Duan Yao looked at the crazy scene at the entrance of the valley and then at Hao Ren who looked calm. She didn't expect that Hao Ren's simple words could have such power.
These lofty Nascent Soul Realm masters were competing to do hard labor for Ethereal Summit!
"Top-Tier Nascent Soul Realm masters, stand in the front and let me choose carefully," Hao Ren said.
The chaotic scene at the entrance of the valley quieted down instantly.
The twelve Ancestral Patriarchs who were originally at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm stood in the front row. Among them was Lieyang Master of New Sun Sect.
Hao Ren looked at them through the red energy sphere and found that three were missing, so he said, "Sky Mountain Sect, fill in three."
Surprised, the three mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect looked at each other before hurrying over.
The other sects were a little jealous when they saw Sky Mountain Sect taking three spots.
Sky Mountain Sect had three mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, five early-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and no top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Lingwu Master, who was a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, was forced to the Foundation Establishment Realm and was still resting in the sect.
They all thought that Sky Mountain Sect wouldn't get a chance this time, and they had planned to devour Sky Mountain Sect after recovering their realms. However, Herb King Master chose three disciples of Sky Mountain Sect at one go.
Although they had some opinions in their hearts, none of them dared to say anything. If the Herb King Master didn't give them the Essence-Unlocking Talisman, they would be stuck at the Core Bearing Realm forever. No matter if it was an individual or a sect, they would be doomed.
"Yujia, do you have 15?" Hao Ren turned around and asked her gently.
Standing at the entrance of the cave abode, Xie Yujia nodded. She had just returned to the cave abode and had been drawing dharma notes at the same time. She had collected more than 20 dharma notes, and she had succeeded in each of them on one try.
Qingfeng Hermit's Life-Death Notes were made with nature essence, and the five-elemental nature essence of the Life-Death Notes was purer than ordinary nature essence. Besides, Xie Yujia got full marks in the Engineering Drawing course.
"Be careful," Xie Yujia reminded him as she walked up the stairs and handed the 15 dharma notes to Hao Ren.
With a smile, Hao Ren distributed the dharma notes to the Lu sisters.
The Lu sisters flicked their fingers in a row, and 15 talismans shot out of the valley like golden beams of light, accurately landing on the foreheads of these ancestors.
The cultivators outside couldn't see what was happening inside and only saw the 15 dharma notes shooting out suddenly. They were hit before they had time to dodge.
The instantaneous method of shooting the dharma notes astonished them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The realms of the 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were restored instantly!
The cultivators were overjoyed, but they didn't dare to show it. They cupped their hands and said, "Thank you for saving us, Master!"
Falling from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Core Formation Stage was like falling from an immortal to a mortal. Returning from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, this kind of relief was no less than the joy they felt when they broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Don't be too happy yet. These essence-unlocking notes can only be used for 60 years. As long as you don't mess with Ethereal Summit, the remaining power of the dharma notes will slowly dissipate," Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren in surprise for a few seconds before realizing that Hao Ren had made it up to intimidate these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and prevent them from making trouble.
She lowered her head and smiled, finding that Hao Ren was a little cunning.
Sure enough, hearing Hao Ren's words, the cultivators outside looked at each other in horror, afraid that their realms would be sealed again if they offended Ethereal Summit.
"Besides, I need 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Sky Mountain Sect will gather them in half an hour," Hao Ren said.
Hearing Hao Ren's casual words in the valley, the cultivators outside were shocked again.
"Herb King Master needs a lot of low-leveled cultivators, and he specifically asked for Sky Mountain Sect. Is he going to use these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to kill the core forces of Sky Mountain Sect?"
In the valley, Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren in astonishment, not knowing what he was going to do.
Ignoring her, Hao Ren raised his fists and began to practice the fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Palace to kill time.
Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren in bafflement, suddenly feeling that Hao Ren was unfathomable. She had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had a solid foundation. However, she knew that Hao Ren's strength was not weak when she saw his powerful punches and kicks.
However, she only froze for a moment before continuing to clean the spiritual fields. Sky Mountain Sect had nowhere to retreat, and its fate was in the hands of Ethereal Summit. Since she wasn't going to be a cauldron, she would endure the humiliation for now.
In a few moments, the grand army of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect descended from Sixth Heaven to Fifth Heaven.
The 150 mid-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators and the 1,500 top-tier Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators all looked uneasy, but they lined up neatly in the high sky of Ethereal Summit.
Hao Ren had seen the formation of Sky Mountain Sect when they besieged Ethereal Summit and the internal structure of Sky Mountain Sect. He knew that the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were skilled and disciplined. They didn't flee in panic even when facing powerful enemies, almost as good as the soldiers of East Ocean who were trained by Zhao Kuo.
That was why Hao Ren thought of Sky Mountain Sect when he repaired the array formation. There were enough cultivators, and they were well-behaved.
"Congming, I'll leave the outside to you," Hao Ren looked at Zhen Congming and said.
"Ok!" Zhen Congming snapped his fingers and flew out of the valley on his black disk.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven all thought that Zhen Congming looked familiar, and they thought that he was the legendary herb thief. However, no one dared to say anything under the circumstances.
This time, Zhen Congming set up a primitive array formation named Seven Star Eight Extreme Array Formation. Compared with the previous Big Dipper Constellation Array Formation, this array formation had fewer changes, but its power had increased by three levels. If it was successfully activated, it could easily defend against the attacks of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
Zhen Congming was furious that the Big Dipper Constellation Array Formation was destroyed. This time, he set up a super powerful turtle shell instead of expecting Hao Ren to control the array formation!
"You! Come here! You come here! "
Only Zhen Congming who was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators shouted at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and asked them to stand in their corresponding positions on the outside of the valley.
The more advanced array formations used the nature essence and operated automatically. The Big Dipper Constellation Array Formation that Zhen Congming had set up belonged to this category.
The less advanced array formations needed spirit stones to operate, and the array formations in the Scroll Pavilion of Sky Mountain Sect belonged to this category.
The more advanced array formations used the supreme nature essence of the ancient cultivators to keep the array formation running for thousands of years. Zhen Congming couldn't find a super master like his master Qiu Niu, and he didn't have the ability to inject a large amount of nature essence into the array formation from the Soul Formation Realm cultivators. Therefore, he had to find 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to make up the numbers.
The 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with 100 years of cultivation strength could barely activate such an ultimate array formation. The array formation could absorb and store 1,500 years of cultivation strength of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, which was enough to keep the array formation running for 100 years.
The 150 Core Formation stage cultivators and the 1,500 Foundation Establishment stage cultivators became the densely packed base of the formation, stabilizing the formation.
Such an ultimate array formation couldn't be completed by only two or three people. Also, if the cultivators couldn't coordinate their movements, the array formation would be flawed.
Xie Yujia hid the dozen snow lion cubs in her cave abode and opened the array formation to let in the 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators and 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.
The spiritual fields in the center of the valley were surrounded by wooden fences to prevent them from being trampled by the cultivators.
The golden shield hovered in the mid-air of the valley and released 1,000 golden clones, illuminating the valley. The cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who entered the valley didn't dare to move recklessly.
In fact, even without the golden shield, the Lu sisters who were equivalent to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could control the situation.
These low-leveled cultivators were led by Ye Yan, the eldest disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect Master. It was his first time entering the valley, and he was surprised to see how young Hao Ren was.
With tears on her face, Duan Yao didn't feel happy when she saw the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect. Instead, she stood by Hao Ren's side.
Ye Yan, the future Sect Master, glanced at Hao Ren secretly and found that he couldn't sense any nature essence from Hao Ren's body.
"He can hide his realm so well! He is so powerful! He is indeed the direct disciple of the Herb King Master! "
Ye Yan was surprised, but he didn't know that Hao Ren didn't hide his realm. In fact, Hao Ren had zero nature essence this week.
Seeing his former junior sister, Duan Yao, standing on Hao Ren's side, Ye Yan suddenly felt reluctant. Hao Ren was handsome, elegant, and the direct disciple of the majestic Herb King Master.
He had thought that Duan Yao had been taken by the Herb King Master as a cauldron, and he was disgusted. However, seeing how young Hao Ren was, he thought that his junior sister had probably been taken by him.
"Junior Sister …" He couldn't help but call out again.
Duan Yao turned her head and ignored him.
Hao Ren turned his head and looked at Duan Yao. "It's not easy to set up array formations. These are the disciples of your Sky Mountain Sect. I'll give the orders, and you'll control them."
With complicated feelings, Duan Yao who had no one to rely on looked at Hao Ren in surprise when she heard his words.
