All 146 chapters, including the 145th chapter, had gathered the Revival Fruits-finally leaving Hundred Herbs Garden for the fifth update!

"It's destined to be all for naught."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled, quickly moved away, and descended Tianyang Mountain.

As for the safety of Yue Miaoyin and the others—

Without the Revival Fruit, it's uncertain whether these people will still fight, and the possibility of them fighting to the death is even smaller, so there's no need to worry.

Right now, it's most important to hurry to Earthsun Mountain, climb the peak, and wait for the fruit on the second Revival Fruit Tree to ripen.

Seven days later.

Lu Qingfeng Earthsun Mountain.

Seeing the cultivators from the Golden Billows Sect, Sunset Glow Sect, and other sects, as well as the Demon Race and Demon Sect cultivators arriving in a flurry, Lu Qingfeng quietly left as soon as the restrictions on Earthsun Mountain were lifted.

Heading towards Profound Yang Mountain.

Seven more days passed.

Lu Qingfeng has acquired the twelve Revival Fruits from Profound Yang Mountain. Including the two Celestial Star Tokens he obtained from Tianyang Mountain and Earthsun Mountain, he now has three Celestial Star Tokens.

"The restrictions on Tianyang Mountain, Earthsun Mountain, and Profound Yang Mountain would take even an average-talented cultivator, who has studied the art of formations and restrictions for one or two thousand years, several months or even longer to decipher them."

"Foundation Establishment cultivators live for three hundred years. Even if they have high talent and can compare to cultivators with average talent who have studied for one or two thousand years, they still have less experience and may take longer. The Hundred Herbs Garden opens once, giving him only a little over three months to break the restrictions. After three months, the restrictions will be released. If he cannot reach the top of the mountain before then, all his previous efforts will be in vain."

"If that's the case, someone like me who can pass through the restrictions and climb the mountain in just half an hour is probably a rare occurrence, perhaps only once every few thousand years."

Lu Qingfeng smiled, slipped past the crowd, and headed down the mountain into the distance.

Next, we'll go to Yellow Yang Mountain.

As Lu Qingfeng knew, the Revival Fruit Tree on Yellow Yang Mountain was far from ripe, and the restriction had not yet been restored. Lu Qingfeng had no way to break the restriction and therefore could not obtain the Celestial Star Token.

Three pieces are enough.

"The remaining six tokens will be left to those who are destined to receive them."

The Celestial Star Sect's Patriarch Qin Feng, left behind the Hundred Herbs Garden and the Celestial Star Token to select his successor. It wouldn't be unreasonable for Lu Qingfeng to take them all and monopolize the fortuitous opportunity.

However, considering the original intention of Patriarch Qin Feng in establishing the Hundred Herbs Garden, Lu Qingfeng was not very interested in the remaining six tokens.

There are three tokens, enough for the three siblings to become True Disciples of the Celestial Star Sect.

Why ruin the fortuitous opportunities for future generations and disappoint Patriarch Qin Feng?

"As for the Revival Fruit, if you can refine it into Longevity Pill before leaving the Gathering Cloud Mountains, I will give you a few spirit pills to the Sunset Glow Sect. If you cannot refine it, I will leave you a few Revival Fruits."

Lu Qingfeng collected all thirty-six Revival Fruits, which meant that the cultivators from the Demon Race, the Demon Sect Golden Billows Sect, and the Demon-Slaying Fort had come for nothing, but the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sunset Glow Sect did the same.

Lu Qingfeng was able to enter the sect only through the help of the Sunset Glow Sect, but now he is monopolizing the benefits, causing damage to the Sunset Glow Sect's interests. He has also concealed many things, so he can't help but feel ashamed.

Giving a few Revival Fruits or Longevity Pills would be a good way to make up for it.

However, while still in the Gathering Cloud Mountains, it was inconvenient to give away the Revival Fruit and reveal their true nature.

Otherwise, if he were to freely enter and exit the Rejuvenation Fruit Tree in the Hundred Herbs Garden Revival Fruit Tree obtain the Revival Fruit, and if this ability were to be discovered and leaked, the entire Four Gathering Cloud Sects would likely not let Lu Qingfeng off the hook.

After leaving the Gathering Cloud Mountains, the sky and sea stretched out before us. Looking out over the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, what did a few Revival Fruits and Longevity Pills amount to?

Then there will be no worries about future troubles.

"Next, we'll explore the remaining three levels of the Medicine Mountain, and then leave the Hundred Herbs Garden."

There aren't many third-tier medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Previously, Lu Qingfeng had swept through more than ten sites, and other cultivators in the upper levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden had also broken through many of them. Only a few sites remained unexplored.

After searching around, Lu Qingfeng found only six unexplored Tier 3 medicinal mountains and harvested the Tier 3 spirit medicine from them.

Twelve days later.

He withdrew from the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Windhowl Cliff.

Lu Qingfeng appeared from the void and stepped onto the top of the cliff.

From the moment I arrived, I sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

In the Sunset Glow Sect camp, Yue Lingxi, Zhang Qingyuan, and Yue Miaoyin had all emerged safely, and judging from their complexions, they were unharmed.

Then look at the Golden Billows Sect and the Demon-Slaying Fort.

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered the Hundred Herbs Garden were all safe and sound. However, for some reason, Lu Qingfeng felt that the two factions were looking at him with rather unfriendly eyes.

"I destroyed the Scarlet Rainbow Sect, what are you two sects doing here?"

Lu Qingfeng felt a strange sensation in his heart. Upon closer inspection, he found that the Foundation Establishment elders of the two sects were doing well and were showing some restraint.

However, the disciples of both factions at the True Qi Realm were either angry or resentful.

Could it be—

Radiance struck Lu Qingfeng, and he guessed the reason, chuckling to himself.

It seems that the disciples of these two factions must have been bullied terribly by Qingshan and Qingyu in the lower levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden, which is why they are in this state and have even taken their Resentment Qi out on their elder brother, Lu Qingfeng.

With a smile to himself, Lu Qingfeng ignored it.

They walked towards the Sunset Glow Sect's formation while also looking at the Scarlet Rainbow Sect.

Yang Bufan, a man of deep cunning and composure within the Scarlet Rainbow Sect, stared expressionlessly at the exit of the Hundred Herbs Garden Windhowl Cliff. The elders and disciples of the sect all wore grim expressions, far more so than those of the Golden Billows Sect and the Demon-Slaying Fort.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The disciples didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

"Four Foundation Establishment elders died, and we gained nothing from the Hundred Herbs Garden this time. The True Qi Realm disciples looked dejected, clearly having suffered a setback in the lower levels as well."

"This appearance is not unusual."

"However, the matter of secretly harming me is not over yet."

Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips, his gaze sweeping over Yang Bufan before heading into the Sunset Glow Sect's formation.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

The Skylark Bird on Yue Miaoyin's shoulder Lu Qingfeng and flew up and down in front of Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng reached out and placed it on his shoulder.

"We are relieved that Elder Lu is alright."

When Lu Qingfeng came out, Zhou Yuan, Yue Lingxi, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wanted to refine a batch of spirit pills, but I was missing a few second- or third-grade spirit medicine, so I was delayed for a while in the Hundred Herbs Garden," Lu Qingfeng explained briefly, looking apologetic.

"It's good that everyone is alright."

Mei Qingyan laughed heartily, finally able to relax.

Within the Sunset Glow Sect, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingyu, and the other True Qi Realm disciples had not yet emerged. Lu Qingfeng glanced at the other three sects and asked with 'curiosity,' "But what happened? I sense that the atmosphere among these three sects seems a bit off."

A face that looked truly innocent.

"Ha ha!"

"It's naturally unpleasant to suffer a setback!"

Mei Qingyan laughed heartily, as happy as if he had stolen honey. Even if Lu Qingfeng hadn't asked, he would have taken the initiative to show off.

"Oh?"

Lu Qingfeng listened.

Mei Qingyan first gave a general account of the strange situation in the upper level of the Hundred Herbs Garden—

Revival Fruit was harvested.

The Demon Race and the Demon Sect suffered severe losses in the first three months.

The four Foundation Establishment of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect have vanished without a trace.

It's really strange to put these three things together.

There is probably some connection between them.

However, no one suspected Lu Qingfeng.

Firstly, Lu Qingfeng is a master of alchemy and artifact crafting, so there's no reason why he would have such expertise in the art of enchantment.

Secondly, quite a few strange things have happened in the upper level of the Hundred Herbs Garden this time.

Not only have the Demon Race and the Demon Sect suffered heavy losses, but the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect have also disappeared without a trace at the foot of Tianyang Mountain, Earthsun Mountain, and Profound Yang Mountain.

They haven't come out yet, so their fate is probably grim.

To achieve all this, one's combat strength must be substantial. How much skill could Lu Qingfeng, a mere alchemist and weapon crafter, possibly possess?

Therefore, the four factions were clueless and did not focus their attention on Master Lu was "Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Artifice".

Certainly.

Perhaps some people are overly suspicious and will become suspicious when they see that Lu Qingfeng did not meet up with Yue Lingxi and the other two after entering the Hundred Herbs Garden.

However, there is no flaw in the claim that Lu Qingfeng was collecting spirit medicine for alchemy.

After returning to Silver Horn Mountain, another batch of Foundation Establishment will be refined, making the whole process seamless and meticulous.

On the contrary, those Demon Race and Demon Sect practitioners who didn't appear from beginning to end are more suspicious than Lu Qingfeng. There's no reason to ignore them and instead suspect the 'harmless' Lu Qingfeng.
