Fu Boren's face was grim, and the temperature in the air dropped several degrees, but he didn't speak immediately!

He had never expected that so many Spirit Herbs in the Spiritual Plant Garden would be intercepted.

Taking a deep breath, he turned his head and swept his gaze over the leaders of the other peaks. His eyes lingered slightly on the elders from Tian Shu and Tianyin Peaks.

In his opinion, these two peaks were the most likely to possess such capabilities.

However, the incident had already happened, and there was no point in trying to cause trouble.

After a moment of thought, he took the Purple Lightning Sword and said lightly, "Alright, it's normal for accidents to happen in such matters. It's not your fault! You worked hard to find so many Spirit Materials."

"The sect competition ten years from now will not only have various heavenly materials and earthly treasures but also Foundation Establishment Pills. At that time, I'll need you to work hard with your fellow disciples!"

"Master, don't worry! I will go all out then!" Ye Liangchuan said, relieved, and made a solemn promise through gritted teeth.

Fu Boren nodded and signaled the disciples behind him to continue.

Tianhua Peak had the largest number of disciples. Over a thousand people went, and more than five hundred returned. It took nearly an hour to finish the count.

The more than five hundred disciples found over forty thousand second-grade Spirit Materials. On average, each person harvested nearly a hundred.

Although there was an accident in the Spiritual Plant Garden, Fu Boren was quite satisfied with this result.

As long as he could obtain that Hundred Year Cold Jade, he was confident he could reach the Golden Core stage. It would at least compensate for some of the losses!

Turning to Lu Mingshi, he laughed heartily, "Senior Brother Lu, according to our agreement, your Luofu Peak must provide over four thousand Spirit Materials to win."

"How about it, can you produce them?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their heads towards Luofu Peak.

The amount made the leaders of each peak envious! So many Spirit Materials were definitely a huge harvest!

</di>

But this also meant that Luofu Peak's chances of winning were even slimmer!

The disciples of Luofu Peak instinctively held their breath, not daring to make a sound. They were all afraid that speaking at this moment would irritate their peak master.

Lu Mingshi's face turned as dark as charcoal, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Tianhua Peak's harvest far exceeded his expectations.

With over three thousand Spirit Materials, how could he possibly achieve that with the few people behind him?

It would be good if they could gather three hundred!

The only one who didn't react was Su Shi'er. He was quietly stuffing everything he could into his storage ring.

It didn't matter if it failed, but if it succeeded, all the savings would be his. This portion didn't need to be handed over to the sect at fifty percent!

"Senior Brother, why aren't you speaking? Are you planning to concede directly? However, since things have come to this point, shouldn't we also take stock and let everyone see Luofu Peak's harvest!"

"Otherwise, people will say that Luofu Peak is a sore loser!" Seeing that Lu Mingshi wasn't responding, Fu Boren smiled even more happily.

He and Lu Mingshi were old rivals, and he would never miss an opportunity to see the other make a fool of himself.

"Hmph! You old geezer, what are you so smug about!"

Lu Mingshi's face was stern. He glared fiercely at Fu Boren before turning to the people behind him.

"Alright, bring out the materials you collected. Whether we win or lose doesn't matter. Let everyone see, so no one says we can't take a loss."

After speaking, Lu Mingshi's gaze fell on Han Yu.

Han Yu tilted his head and swept his gaze over the disciples of Tianhua Peak, looking somewhat indignant.

With a wave of his hand, a mountain-like pile of Spirit Materials appeared in everyone's sight.

"One thousand two hundred and three Spirit Herbs?! Not bad, you did very well. As for individual achievement, you are the best among the seven peaks!"

Seeing this, Lu Mingshi forced himself to cheer up and patted Han Yu's shoulder as encouragement.

Such an achievement also made everyone glance at him more.

But everyone knew in their hearts that in this trial, each peak had its trump cards, and having one or two such disciples was not unexpected.

After Han Yu stepped down, Xiao Yue also took out her harvest.

It was much less than Han Yu's, only over six hundred second-grade Spirit Materials.

As for the remaining utility disciples, they were even worse. One by one, they dejectedly took out their respective harvests.

The most was thirty, and the least was a disciple at the third level of Qi Condensation, the same disciple who had teamed up with Zhu Hanwei at the beginning. He hadn't found a single Spirit Material and had even lost his storage bag.

This made Lu Mingshi furious. He puffed out his beard and glared, wishing he could slap the guy to death.

When it was Zhu Hanwei's turn, he nimbly took out ten Spirit Materials and received a nod from Lu Mingshi.

After all, it was quite surprising that a disciple without a spiritual root could find so many Spirit Materials.

Soon, only Su Shi'er was left in Luofu Peak.

"Senior Brother, there's only one kid at the third level of Qi Condensation left. Is it still necessary to take stock?" Before Su Shi'er could take anything out, Fu Boren suddenly called out again.

"This is our Luofu Peak's business, why do you care?" Lu Mingshi retorted irritably.

"I'm not meddling. You've collected less than two thousand Spirit Materials now, such a huge difference. How... are you expecting this kid to help you turn the tables? Stop wasting time and quickly hand over..."

"Give me the Hundred Year Cold Jade!"

Fu Boren looked at Lu Mingshi with a smile, urging him.

No one was surprised by this outcome.

Everyone turned their gaze to Fu Boren, and several elders couldn't help but show envious looks.

That was Hundred Year Cold Jade!

Although its value was not as high as a low-grade Spirit Artifact, it was still a very rare level three Spirit Material, rarely seen.

Fu Boren, with his rare dual water and fire spiritual roots, would soon be able to break through to the Golden Core stage if he refined this Hundred Year Cold Jade.

"Hmph! You old geezer, are you in a hurry to reincarnate! Even if you want something, wait until our Luofu Peak finishes its inventory!" Lu Mingshi's mouth twitched, and he said irritably.

Even though he knew he had lost, he wanted to stall for time and not let Fu Boren have an easy victory.

"Fine, as you wish!" Fu Boren said with a smile. He was confident of victory and wasn't angry.

Lu Mingshi's gaze fell on Su Shi'er, and he didn't have a good expression. He said carelessly, "Kid, take out all your gains!"

Su Shi'er walked forward. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Lu Mingshi, and no one noticed him, this minor character.

Lu Mingshi had also shifted his gaze elsewhere. He just wanted to delay the time and make Fu Boren's victory unpleasant.

Su Shi'er didn't mind this. He took out the storage bags he had prepared.

He injected True Essence into about twenty storage bags one by one, taking out the materials inside. His storage ring had limited space, and it also contained the corpse of a second-tier Demonic Beast. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have taken out so many Spirit Materials.

A large amount of Spirit Materials fell to the ground, quickly piling up into a small, colorful mountain.

There were hundreds of items like Hundred-Year Ginseng, Hundred-Year Huangqi, and Hundred-Year Lingzhi.
