Take the Lead First-Thanks to Alliance Leader 'Half-Life Immortal Destiny' for the Reward!
Three members of the Golden Billows Sect have reached the Foundation Establishment.
Four Foundation Establishment from Demon-Slaying Fort.
The three members of the Sunset Glow Sect are Yue Lingxi, Zhang Qingyuan, and Yue Miaoyin.
The three factions stood in three separate locations, keeping their distance from each other. With the Revival Fruit before them, none dared to be certain whether the other harbored any hostility, even though they were all from the Four Gathering Cloud Sects.
Apart from three of the Four Gathering Cloud Sects.
There are still eight Demon Race and seven Devil Cultivators.
Internally, each faction further split into several camps.
"Elder Lingxi."
Zhang Qingyuan glanced around and saw that the Demon Race and Devil Cultivator cultivators had suffered heavy losses. Instead of joy, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
Yue Lingxi leaned on her dragon-headed cane, looked around, and finally her gaze fell on the Skylark Bird perched on Yue Miaoyin's shoulder. She shook her head and said, "The Skylark Bird is normal. Elder Lu should be fine."
After entering the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Lu Qingfeng had two main objectives: first, to use the Grand Luo Insight to break the restrictions on Medicine Mountain and quickly gather the spirit medicine needed to refine the Foundation Establishment; and second, to fight with others, always giving his all and unleashing all his Divine Ability Technique Method.
Neither the speed at which they break through the restrictions, nor their various powerful Divine Ability and Technique Method, should be revealed in front of Yue Lingxi and the other two.
Furthermore, his frequent stay on Medicine Mountain in the following month, where he studied the "True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao" in the game, made him seem even more bizarre.
Therefore.
Lu Qingfeng did not travel with the three. To put their minds at ease, he sent the Skylark Bird he had brought into the Hundred Herbs Garden to Yue Lingxi and the other two, as a sign that he was safe and sound.
When Lu Qingfeng fled to the Return to Truth Sect, he learned a rudimentary beast-taming technique from the Heavenly Fox Realm in order to raise nine Skylark Bird. It was not a proper technique and he could only tame ordinary birds and beasts.
Later, in the Chiyan Realm, he practiced the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' and found an ordinary beast-taming method.
After being strengthened, it can control demonic Demon Beast and spirit beasts.
White Crane, Ironwing Flying Eagle, and other birds were subdued and enslaved using this method.
Along with the Beast Taming Technique, I also obtained the method for crafting Spirit Beast Pouch.
The Spirit Beast Pouch can be used by spirit beasts to live in. Lu Qingfeng collected the lowest quality materials through the Sunset Glow Sect in Silver Horn Mountain. The resulting Spirit Beast Pouch could not even be entered by a second-tier spirit beast.
The Skylark Bird, on the other hand, has greatly increased its spirituality over the years by following Lu Qingfeng and consuming Yellow Chestnut Pellet and Spirit-Nourishing Pill.
It was still just an ordinary bird, able to hide in the Spirit Beast Pouch and move freely in the Hundred Herbs Garden without any restrictions or Spirit Stone consumption. This was an unexpected surprise, saving Lu Qingfeng a lot of Spirit Stone.
Hopefully.
Zhang Qingyuan thought to himself, then said, "This situation is a bit strange. The Sanyuan Demon Sect and the Six Yang Veins should have a full complement of thirty-two people, but only fifteen have come. I wonder if the others are hiding in the shadows or have already been forced to leave the Hundred Herbs Garden."
Zhang Qingyuan is a cultivator at the Origin Nurturing Realm and a veteran in the Sunset Glow Sect, having witnessed the opening of the Hundred Herbs Garden several times.
They had a good understanding of the situation at the Hundred Herbs Garden.
In previous years, during the first three months, the demons would at most lose two or three cultivators. Losing more than half their forces was truly rare.
After all, the real battle for the precious Revival Fruit has not yet begun.
In most fights, the outcome is decided in an instant, without immediately determining victory or defeat, Life and Death.
The competition for the Revival Fruit truly reaches its peak, with all sides going all out and showing no mercy for a Revival Fruit.
Those who manage to snatch the Revival Fruit, whether they are cautious or severely injured, will usually put away their Spirit Stone and leave the Hundred Herbs Garden after half an incense stick's time to avoid any accidents.
At this point, the number of Foundation Establishment experts in the Hundred Herbs Garden will gradually decrease.
However, the Revival Fruit was not yet ripe, and the number of Demon Race and Devil Cultivator gathered at the foot of Tianyang Mountain was too small, leaving Zhang Qingyuan somewhat puzzled.
"When Mu Hengyan of the Golden Billows Sect was alone, he was forced to leave the Hundred Herbs Hundred Herbs Garden by a Devil Cultivator from the Sanyuan Demon Sect. Then, three other members of the Golden Billows Sect arrived and killed one of the two Devil Cultivators, while the other was seriously injured and forced to leave the Hundred Herbs Garden."
"But there are only two Devil Cultivators."
Yue Miaoyin also felt strange, and for some reason, the image of Lu Qingfeng flashed through her mind.
"And the Scarlet Rainbow Sect— "
Zhang Qingyuan added from the side, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, "The people from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect haven't shown up yet. It seems they were either killed by demons or have already left the Hundred Herbs Garden. With the Scarlet Rainbow Sect eliminated so quickly in this trip to the Hundred Herbs Garden, they'll have to be very careful for the next twelve years!"
The Scarlet Rainbow Sect and the Sunset Glow Sect had many conflicts, and Zhang Qingyuan, along with the elders and disciples of the Sunset Glow Sect, had a very poor impression of them.
Now that Scarlet Rainbow Sect is seemingly out of the running, Zhang Qingyuan is naturally pleased.
However, this means that the Four Gathering Cloud Sects will no longer have an overwhelming advantage over the Demon Sect or the Demon Race, which have suffered heavy losses.
A balance was reached.
The three members of the Sunset Glow Sect communicated via telepathy, as did the Golden Billows Sect, the Demon-Slaying Fort, the Demon Race, and the Demon Sect.
The atmosphere was oppressive, and no one knew how this strange situation had come about.
The culprit, Lu Qingfeng, had just arrived.
"Everyone is here."
Lu Qingfeng glanced at Yue Miaoyin and the other two, then passed over the cultivators from the Golden Billows Sect, the Demon-Slaying Fort, the Demon Sect, and the Demon Race, hiding his figure in the shadows. Even Yue Lingxi, Foundation Body Tempering Realm cultivator, was not detected by him.
They arrived at the foot of Tianyang Mountain without making a sound.
Lu Qingfeng looked at the mountain, which was also heavily fortified.
According to Zhou Yuan and others, the Guardian restrictions on the Revival Fruit Tree are far more complex than those on the third-tier medicinal mountain. For over three hundred years, no one has ever broken through the restrictions to climb the mountain and retrieve the fruit before they were actively removed.
"This restriction—"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with Radiance as he clearly saw the intricacies of the restrictions here.
However, with his limited knowledge of forbidden craftsmanship, even if he could see through it, he couldn't fathom its mysteries. He could only try to unravel the complexities step by step to see if he could find a viable path.
This thought led Lu Qingfeng to a solution.
"The Grand Luo Insight is truly wondrous!"
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed.
The restrictions on Tianyang Mountain were so difficult that even Foundation Establishment cultivators and experts skilled in enchantments couldn't break them. Lu Qingfeng's Spirit Eye swept over them, but found nothing of value.
Although the Grand Luo Insight Divine Ability has no combat capabilities, if used properly, it can be incredibly powerful.
"Probing techniques, divination Law Technique, concealment Movement Method, substitution techniques, escape techniques..."
"These techniques are useless in battle, but they have a wide range of applications and are quite effective. We should pay more attention to them in the future."
Lu Qingfeng secretly memorized the information, and then, following the route discerned by his Spirit Eye, stepped into Tianyang Mountain in front of Yue Lingxi and the others.
His figure was concealed, and no one noticed him.
Restricted.
The wind and thunder roared, and the water and fire surged.
Lu Qingfeng stepped onto the Xuan position, walking through the Gate of Life and avoiding the Gate of Death.
After wandering around for half an hour, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a spacious area. In the center stood a spirit tree with lush branches and leaves, like a canopy.
"This is the Revival Fruit Tree."
Lu Qingfeng was delighted to see twelve bright red fruits hidden among the lush branches and leaves of the Revival Fruit Tree.

Thank you to the guild leader 'Half a Lifetime of Immortal Destiny' for the generous donation. I'm still in the process of paying back the favor, and I'm currently only updating five times a day.

I feel a little ashamed.
