"Haha, it’s indeed the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb!"
"As expected, Senior Brother Chang is perceptive, he sensed the aura of the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb from afar!"
"Six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, they’re quite valuable, our journey wasn’t in vain!"
"With six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, we can at least exchange them for two bottles of Creation Pill with the Alchemists in the nearby city, right?"
"I’ve recently felt the possibility of advancing, and I just need the Creation Pill for assistance."
...
The five disciples from dicine King Mountain who rushed forward set their sights on the six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs amid the mountain crevice, each of them excited beyond asure.
As for Fang Bai and his group of five, they were completely ignored by these disciples.
"Hey, we were the ones who discovered these Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs first!"
Shi Ming, hearing the conversation among the five disciples of dicine King Mountain and feeling as if those herbs were already in their pockets, got anxious and raised his voice.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, the five dicine King Mountain disciples finally turned their heads to look at Fang Bai and his group of five, and then burst into loud laughter.
One dicine King Mountain disciple laughed and said, "So what if you found them first? In the world of Spiritual dicine, the capable shall possess! Whoever has the ability to harvest them will own them! If you have the skills, go ahead and pick them!"
Another dicine King Mountain disciple said, "Judging by the look of you all, it seems you’ve been standing here for a while, are you worried about being attacked by the Spirit Beasts guarding the Spiritual dicine and dare not approach to pick them? Haha, since you can’t do it, we’ll let the disciples of dicine King Mountain handle it!"
"You..."
Shi Ming’s face turned red with anger, wanting to argue back, but what the two dicine King Mountain disciples said was unfortunately true, leaving him speechless.
The disciple from dicine King Mountain referred to as "Senior Brother Chang" scanned Fang Bai’s group, noticing that Sun Lin had the highest cultivation level among them, and walked straight up to her. With a courteous smile, he clasped his hands and said, "I am Chang Shan, an Inner Court disciple of dicine King Mountain. These four are my junior brothers and sisters. May I ask, are you all disciples of Lingxu Palace?"
Chang Shan appeared to be around thirty years old, with handso features and a refined bearing, speaking with a smile and displaying politeness and elegance, giving an impression of a gentleman scholar. This, in turn, made Sun Lin and the others regard him favorably, as he did not exhibit the arrogance of the other dicine King Mountain disciples.
Sun Lin also saw that among the five disciples of dicine King Mountain, Chang Shan was evidently the leader of their Cultivation Team, just like herself.
"We are indeed disciples of Lingxu Palace."
Returning the smile, Sun Lin courteously clasped her hands and said, "I am Sun Lin. These four are my junior brothers."
Chang Shan nodded to Fang Bai and the others, then pointed back towards the six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs in the mountain crevice, and said earnestly, "The disciples of dicine King Mountain have always been sincere and cherish harmony, never taking advantage of others. Since you were the first to discover these herbs and yet are unable to pick them, how about we join forces to harvest them?"
Sun Lin, heart stirred, exchanged glances with Fang Bai and the others, and seeing them nod, said, "We can join forces, but how do we distribute them after harvesting?"
Chang Shan thought for a mont, then said, "We take four, and you take two. How about that?"
This thod of distribution happened to align with Sun Lin’s expectations, and after a brief hesitation, she nodded in agreent.
In Sun Lin’s view, among the five disciples of dicine King Mountain, there were four Foundation Establishnt Experts and one close to Foundation Establishnt, their overall strength far exceeded her side. Even if they took all six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, there was nothing her group could do.
Thus, obtaining two Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs already seed a great boon for her side.
The other four disciples of dicine King Mountain followed Chang Shan’s lead; though dissatisfied with this allocation, they dared not voice their discontent.
"Brother Fang, we et again."
The only female disciple among the five from dicine King Mountain walked up to Fang Bai with a cheerful greeting.
"Yes, Miss Tong, I didn’t expect to et again so soon."
Fang Bai also showed a smile.
This female disciple from dicine King Mountain, with her delicate appearance and slender figure, possessed an Innate Wood Spirit Root. She was one of Fang Bai’s friends from the Three Thousand Minor Worlds when he first arrived in the Spirit Martial Realm, nad Tong Yaoyao.
Originally, when Fang Bai entered the Spirit Martial Realm from the Three Thousand Minor Worlds, there were over a dozen Martial Artists. Later, Fang Bai and Shi Ming were taken by Lingxu Palace, while Tong Yaoyao was chosen by Elder Chang Yuanlong of dicine King Mountain, and others from the Minor Worlds found their own paths.
When the five disciples from dicine King Mountain arrived, Tong Yaoyao and Fang Bai imdiately recognized each other, and only now had the chance to exchange greetings.
Upon learning this connection between Fang Bai and Tong Yaoyao, Sun Lin remarked with a smile that the two indeed shared a fateful bond.
However, as soon as she said this, she noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the dicine King Mountain disciples opposite, with Chang Shan looking particularly displeased, making her suddenly realize Chang Shan might be a suitor of Tong Yaoyao, and she quickly changed the subject out of embarrassnt.
Sun Lin’s guess was correct; ever since Tong Yaoyao entered dicine King Mountain, she had beco the most admired female disciple there. Her beauty, charm, and promising future in the Martial Dao enamored many male disciples, including Chang Shan, all of whom sought to beco her Martial Dao partner.
This ti, Chang Shan had specifically taken Tong Yaoyao out for training, hoping to win her favor and strengthen their bond during this opportunity.
Upon hearing that Fang Bai and Tong Yaoyao both hailed from the Minor World and knew each other long ago, Chang Shan felt a bit tense, but seeing how Fang Bai and Tong Yaoyao were rely acting as ordinary friends relieved his concerns.
After a brief discussion among the disciples, they decided that Chang Shan and four others would be responsible for picking the six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, while Sun Lin and the others would fend off any Spirit Beasts that might appear.
"Charge!"
Having made the decision, both sides hesitated no longer, avoiding any additional Cultivation Teams from arriving and complicating matters. Under Chang Shan’s lead, the five disciples from dicine King Mountain each wielded their Spiritual Artifacts, surrounded themselves with Spirit Qi Shields, and rushed towards the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs at top speed.
Sun Lin and the others charged simultaneously, guarding alongside Chang Shan’s group with their fighting spirits raised to a peak, on high alert.
Near the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, a powerful Spirit Beast was surely lurking.
This was beyond doubt for both Chang Shan’s and Sun Lin’s groups.
Sure enough, as Chang Shan’s group approached within three ters of the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs, a rustling sound ca from the dense grass, and a fishy wind surged out from between the grass, overwhelming the air.
Accompanying the gust of wind was a pitch-black mist, like a vast net, sweeping towards Chang Shan’s group as they rapidly approached the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs.
Even before the black mist enveloped them, Chang Shan’s group felt dizzy and nauseous.
