The morning came after dawn.
After having dinner in the Thai restaurant with the Lu sisters and Xie Yujia last night, Hao Ren had gone to the sports field and practiced the fundamental boxing techniques 200 times. His movements were as fierce as dragons and tigers.
If one didn’t work hard, he or she would fall behind. Only the cultivators who could keep cultivating like Su Han would reach peak Qian-level.
Standing on the sports field, Hao Ren gave a straight punch.
His fist whistled in the air, and the muscles on his arms bulged distinctly as if he had practiced boxing for a long time.
He practiced late into the night until the dorm buildings had closed for the night. Not wanting to wake up the dorm manager to unlock the door for him, he had spent the night in the sports field.
Hao Ren jumped with all his force and reached a height of more than two meters. Without using any nature essence, he had entered the realm of a martial arts master.
If students saw it, they would be frightened.
He wondered what was happening on Fifth Heaven.
Yesterday, he had made an appointment with Zhen Congming to go to Fifth Heaven to repair the array formation. While he was thinking, he jogged back to the dorm room to get his textbooks for the classes.
Grandma would return to East Ocean City this weekend. Hao Ren would go pick her up and keep her company, so he guessed that he wouldn’t have time to go to Fifth Heaven then. That was why he asked Zhen Congming to go to Fifth Heaven today and come up with a repair plan for the array formation.
Zhen Congming had been angry at Hao Ren for the damage of the array formation. However, he was in a good mood yesterday and had agreed to Hao Ren’s proposal.
Hao Ren didn’t like Zhan Congming’s arrogance, but he needed his help on array formations.
The four classes in the morning finished in the blink of an eye.
Wearing brand-new white sneakers, Zhen Congming showed up at East Ocean University as agreed. From the happy look on his face, Hao Ren knew the new sneakers must have been purchased for him by Wu Luoxue’s mom.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Zhen Congming strode over and yelled.
His posture showed his eagerness for Hao Ren and others to notice his new sneakers.
Shaking her head with a smile, Xie Yujia walked to the little forest behind the dorm buildings with the group before creating a red energy sphere.
Zhen Congming’s black disk flew out of his storage space to carry Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, and Little White changed into its snow lion form to carry Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
Hua… Two lights flew into the high sky.
Very soon, they reached Fifth Heaven. Before they got close to Ethereal Summit, they saw many flags waving around Herb King Valley as if there were a battle going on.
“Fly over and have a look!” Hao Ren yelled.
Zhen Congming flew the black disk forward at a greater speed.
Sky Mountain Sect! New Sun Sect! Qingcheng Sect! Chongxu Sect! Jinghua Sect! All kinds of flags!
The dozens of small hills around Ethereal Summit were all taken!
On the colorful flags were the names of different sects!
Hundreds of tents spread across the hills and valleys densely.
The three small sects around Ethereal Summit had built several big buildings in a few days!
Some of the sects on Six Heaven were camping around the three small sects like [stars surrounding the moon!]
“Herb King Master is here! Herb King Master is here!”
Some cultivator yelled on a hill suddenly.
Boom… Thousands of cultivators flew up from all directions toward Hao Ren.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately shot out their black and white bracelets from both sides, and the two bracelets grew as big as hills, knocking back the cultivators.
Then, they escorted Hao Ren and Xie Yujia into the valley.
The cultivators who were struck back by the Lu sisters’ Yin-Yang Bracelets were not angry. Instead, they were happy when they landed on their respective camps.
Meanwhile, the area around Ethereal Summit was boisterous.
The past couple of days were a total disaster for the sects on Sixth Heaven. There were almost no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven since Old Grandma struck the ones who were around Ethereal Summit were turned into Core Formation Realm cultivators. In order to break the essence-locking note, some of them even killed themselves in the process of trying, but none could return to their previous realms.
When they traveled to Ethereal Summit to ask for help secretly, about six cultivators who were previously at the Nascent Soul Realm were killed by others in ambushes.
After battling for a while, the Nascent Soul Realm masters thought it wouldn’t solve their problems. They returned to the sects and brought lots of disciples to station near Ethereal Summit, hoping that Herb King Master in the valley would show up.
These arrogant Nascent Soul Realm cultivators stayed in the tents obediently, waiting for Herb King Master to appear.
When they saw Hao Ren, they became excited.
“Greetings to Herb King Master from Qingcheng Sect!”
“Greetings to Herb King Master from Chongxu Sect!”
“Greetings to Herb King Master from Guoshan Sect!”
The senior disciples of the sects ran toward the entrance of the valley and released voice transmission notes into the valley.
In fact, no one was sure that Herb King Master of Ethereal Summit could remove the essence-locking note, but after trying all kinds of methods that were useless, Ethereal Summit which was related to the Soul Formation Realm cultivator on Eighth Heaven was their last hope.
They had finally reached the Nascent Soul Realm after hundreds of years of laborious cultivation, but they had dropped to the Core Formation Realm in one night.
It was impossible for them to cultivate from the Core Formation Realm back to the Nascent Soul Realm with the usual method, especially when their realms were locked.
Ding… The moment Hao Ren returned to the valley, he received more than ten voice transmission notes.
Xie Yujia opened the notes one by one and found that the information was the same; they were all begging Herb King Master to show mercy and help them.
Hearing the information, Xie Yujia looked back at Hao Ren and asked for his opinion with her eyes.
“We don’t need their gratitude. Let them find the things we need and trade the notes with them,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok!” Xie Yujia nodded and called out with nature essence, “Listen up! Herb King Master needs 10,000-year-old Black Herb, 10,000-year-old Green Wood, 10,000-year-old Iron Essence Flower, 10,000-year-old Soul Grass, 10,000-year-old Golden Hammer, 10,000-year-old Daphne, and 10,000-year-old Brass Drum Skin. We will help you remove to remove the lock if you have three of one kind of spiritual herbs or three kinds of spiritual herbs!”
Crisp and melodious, Xie Yujia’s voice went out through the valley’s temporary array formation and entered the waiting ears of the cultivators at the valley entrance.
After saying these words, Xie Yujia looked back at Hao Ren and stuck out her tongue bashfully.
Demanding for things in the disguise of Herb King Master was almost like an act of robbery!
Hao Ren smiled and remained silent, thinking that Xie Yujia was not cheeky enough.
Hearing the conditions, the cultivators outside of the valley returned to their respective camps.
These conditions showed that the problem with unlocking their realms could be solved!
“10,000-year-old Black Herb? 10,000-year-old Green Wood?”
In the camps, the masters were surprised to hear the conditions from their Core Formation Realm disciples.
These spiritual herbs were the best materials for making elixirs in the world, and they guessed that Herb King Master was testing their sincerity by demanding these herbs.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry back and search for them!” the masters urged their disciples.
Swoosh… Dozens of lights rose from the camps surrounding Ethereal Summit and flew toward Sixth Heaven swiftly.
Each of the sects on Sixth Heaven had their own treasure palaces containing all kinds of precious materials, and even these masters who were elders or even sect masters were not clear about their full collections.
The dozens of cultivators raced back to Sixth Heaven while the master stayed around Ethereal Summit, afraid that Herb King Master would issue new instructions.
In the past few days, the sects were competing silently and increased their potential offers as Herb King Master didn’t show up.
One sect even prepared to offer hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to Ethereal Summit in exchange for the removal of the essence-locking note.
Such a great amount of resource was almost equivalent to 100 years of accumulation. However, it was worth it if their Nascent Soul Realm master could recover his or her strength before the others.
Some other sects had prepared to offer their dharma treasures in exchange for Herb King Master’s help.
However, none of them had expected that Herb King Master would ask for such spiritual herbs.
Instantly, the area around Ethereal Summit was in a bustle.
Not caring how the sects from Sixth Heaven were going to react, Hao Ren walked to the center of the valley to check on the collapsed spiritual fields.
The spiritual fields that Xie Yujia had worked hard on were damaged by the rocks that fell from the mountains. One-third of the fields were ruined.
“Greetings to Herb King Master from Liu Heng of Qingcheng Sect! We have three Iron Essence Flowers!
A cultivator’s resonant voice came in from the outside of the valley.
“Little White!” Hao Ren called.
Little White understood Hao Ren’s order and flew out of the valley before coming back with a box in its mouth.
Xie Yujia opened the box and looked carefully, finding that there were indeed three 10,000-year-old Iron Essence Flowers, but they were not alive.
“Give them this.” After taking out the Iron Essence Flowers from the box, Xie Yujia placed one essence-unlocking note into the box and handed it to Little White.
The Core Formation Realm cultivator of Qingcheng Sect who was waiting outside the valley saw the snow lion flying out and tossing a box at him.
He caught the box with both hands and opened it cautiously.
In the box, the three Iron Essence Flowers disappeared. In their place was a golden dharma note.
The other cultivators who were standing near the entrance looked at the object the senior disciple of Qingcheng Sect got from Ethereal Summit with envy and doubt in their eyes.
