The Curtain Falls

The trip to the Hundred Herbs Garden lasted for more than four months, and it came to a successful conclusion with the emergence of the last batch of disciples, including Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu.

However, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect have not yet emerged.

With their Life and Death unknown, the four factions will have to wait some more time.

The Scarlet Rainbow Sect was there to confirm the Life and Death of the four people.

Although they knew it was more likely they were trapped in the Hundred Herbs Garden, they were ultimately unwilling to accept the fact that the Hundred Herbs Garden would be completely closed before the July deadline, and all cultivators would be expelled.

The three factions of the Sunset Glow Sect, on the other hand, were acting as a precaution.

Although it was thought that the possibility of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect dying was relatively high, things could never be as unexpected as they seemed.

If the four of them ultimately survive, there will be some things to say.

In particular, the strange incident involving the Revival Fruit might be related to the disappearance of these four people.

Only Lu Qingfeng knew that the four people were already dead, refined by the Zhurong Divine Flame, leaving no trace of their bodies.

It's not good to leave alone.

Lu Qingfeng would either cultivate at Windhowl Cliff or pretend to sleep while playing the game.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu's appearance attracted countless hatreds from the three sects, and they were hated to the bone by the disciples of the three sects.

From now on, we really need to be extra careful when traveling through the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

The three siblings reaped a great harvest in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Lu Qingfeng needs no further explanation.

Celestial Star Token, Revival Fruit, various grades of spirit medicine, thousands of Spirit Stones...

Any one of these incidents, if spoken of, would be enough to stir up a huge uproar.

Fortunately, the Sunset Glow Sect already had a set of rules regarding the gains of disciples and elders entering the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Lu Qingfeng only needs to return the remaining Spirit Stone he brought into the Hundred Herbs Garden, and then hand over spirit medicine of equal value for the amount of Spirit Stone he consumed.

For example, Lu Qingfeng stayed in the Hundred Herbs Garden for nearly four months, consuming 109 Spirit Stone.

The total value of the spirit medicine handed over is one hundred and nine pieces.

If there is any surplus, keep it for yourself or sell it to the sect at a discount.

If the amount is insufficient, the sect will inspect the Storage Bag to verify the information and prevent unauthorized possession. Aside from losing face, the sect will not impose any punishment.

If we can retrieve the Revival Fruit, the sect will be even more generous with the reward.

There was no reward this time, of course.

Lu Qingfeng didn't care.

After handing over the remaining ninety-one Spirit Stone and spirit medicine worth one hundred and nine Spirit Stones, no one knew how many spirit medicine were left, nor did they know how to inquire.

Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu also gained a lot this time.

They looted all 54 disciples from the three sects, taking a staggering 1,000 Spirit Stone.

The array of spirit medicine herbs was dazzling, most of them being of the first rank. Little by little, they added up to a considerable sum.

They made a fortune.

The Spirit Stone and spirit medicine were shared with the other True Qi Realm disciples of the Sunset Glow Sect, but the two of them still took the lion's share, accounting for as much as 70%.

After being expelled from the three sects, the brother and sister joined forces to wreak havoc on the Demon Race and the Demon Sect. How much they plundered is unknown to the other disciples of the Sunset Glow Sect.

Such sudden wealth is not necessarily a good thing.

Lu Qingfeng explained the consequences to the two men, instructing them to hand over all the Spirit Stone to the Sunset Glow Sect.

Although the two were somewhat reluctant to part, they obeyed.

Firstly, Lu Qingfeng has always held a high position of prestige in the hearts of the two.

Secondly, after calming down, they realized that sudden wealth could bring trouble to the three siblings.

By handing it over to the Sunset Glow Sect, the risks can be greatly transferred.

Although they lost Spirit Stone, the Sunset Glow Sect gained Spirit Stone for nothing, so how could they remain silent?

This is a wise move.

Zhou Yuan and Yue Lingxi, being experienced and shrewd, had already considered this concern when Mei Qingyan was brazenly showing off. However, after all, it involved hundreds or even thousands of Spirit Stones. They were worried that Lu Qingfeng would entrust them to the Sunset Glow Sect for safekeeping with just a few words, even if Lu Qingfeng had no shortage of Spirit Stone.

Furthermore, which cultivator in the world is not lacking in Spirit Stone?

So the two remained silent and did not raise the issue.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingfeng was so decisive, and Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu were so obedient to their elder brother. The Spirit Stone they had looted from the Three Gathering Cloud Sects, the Demon Race, and the Demon Sect cultivators, totaling 1,050, were handed over to Zhou Yuan without batting an eye, right before everyone's eyes.

The cultivators from all three sects turned their heads in surprise.

The Spirit Stone was given to Zhou Yuan.

In this way, while it cannot be said that the disaster will be completely eliminated, at least the world will not be at odds with us.

Time passed.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

When the deadline in July arrived, the Hundred Herbs Garden was completely closed, and the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect never came out.

The atmosphere around the Scarlet Rainbow Sect collapsed, and a deathly silence descended.

The three factions of the Sunset Glow Sect were secretly delighted, but they did not show it on their faces and dispersed.

After this battle...

Not only did the Scarlet Rainbow Sect gain nothing from both the upper and lower levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden, but they also suffered a direct loss of 1,160 Spirit Stone and four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's one thing for cultivators to be at the Qi Guiding and Liquid Condensation stages, but there's also an Origin Nurturing Realm cultivator and a Body Tempering Realm cultivator among them.

Even for the mighty Scarlet Rainbow Sect, this battle was a devastating blow, fundamentally shaking their very foundations.

It will take at least a hundred or two hundred years to recover.

On the contrary, the Sunset Glow Sect returned with a full load, attracting the attention of the three sects.

One decreases and one increase.

The situation in the Gathering Cloud Mountains will certainly change significantly over the next century.

It even seems like a storm is brewing.

Lu Qingfeng didn't care much about this and led Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu directly back to Silver Horn Mountain from Windhowl Cliff.

Silver Horn Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng led the way, with Qingshan and Qingyu following silently behind.

Enter the cave abode.

"Are you complaining about your elder brother?" Lu Qingfeng turned to look at the two of them and asked with a smile.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu scoffed and said angrily, "It's just... it's just that so many Spirit Stones were given away before we even had a chance to enjoy them."

"So heartbreaking~"

My heart aches!

Lu Qingyu clutched her chest and looked up at her older brother, acting coquettishly.

She and her second brother had been working hard for several months and together they earned 1,050 Spirit Stone. She received 525 of them.

After giving it all away at once, I feel an emptiness in my heart, and a lingering pain.

"Alright."

"Just a few hundred Spirit Stone."

Lu Qingfeng looked helpless and reached into his waist to take out Storage Bag and hand it to Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu blinked, took the item, and her eyes widened immediately. "So many... so many, so many Spirit Stones!"

Seeing Qingyu's surprised expression, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but wonder how many Spirit Stone his elder brother had in his Storage Bag. He took it and immediately discovered that the Storage Bag contained a mountain of dazzling, gleaming Spirit Stone.

It's probably worth two or three thousand yuan.

Besides Spirit Stone, there were also many jade boxes, all containing spirit medicine.

They were piled up like mountains.

Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu's dejected mood was dispelled by the mountain of Spirit Mountain in their elder brother's Storage Bag.

Surprise, then joy.

The three siblings sat cross-legged in the cave abode. Lu Qingfeng spoke first, "You caused the three sects a great loss in the Hundred Herbs Garden. Although the Spirit Stone were entrusted to the Sunset Glow Sect for safekeeping, there will be no shortage of trouble. Stay in Silver Horn Mountain for the time being and cultivate in seclusion until the storm passes."
