Chapter 52 Two Dark Horses! Li Huayuan is overjoyed!
Seeing this, Old Monster Qiong smiled again, even glancing at Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi with a hint of smugness.
"Alright, alright! Almost everyone's out. Let's start counting the number of spirit herbs! I can't wait to know the outcome of this bet!" Old Monster Qiong jumped down from the boulder, rubbing his hands together, and shouted impatiently.
Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
The number of survivors from the Hidden Moon Sect far exceeded expectations.
This is a huge bad sign for the bet.
Under the watchful eyes of the seven Nascent Soul cultivators, the inventory began.
First, the two sides of the bet were counted: the disciples of Qingxu Sect (five survivors) and Huangfeng Valley (seven survivors) lined up in a row, facing the disciples of Yanyue Sect (twelve survivors).
The first disciple of Qingxu Sect stepped forward, took out five spiritual herbs from his storage bag, and handed them to the sect's Foundation Establishment deacon for counting.
"Two 300-year-old Purple Monkey Flower plants; one 400-year-old Jade Marrow Fungus plant; two 350-year-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit plants —"
The deacon loudly announced the number.
Five disciples of the Qingxu Sect handed over their materials one after another, and finally, a total of twenty-seven Foundation Establishment Pill main ingredients were counted.
This number is quite good compared to previous years, Fu Yunzi nodded slightly.
But there was little joy in his eyes; his gaze was more focused on the Hidden Moon Sect and the Yellow Maple Valley.
Next up is the Hidden Moon Sect.
The first eight disciples contributed relatively ordinary amounts of spiritual herbs, mostly around three, four, or five.
However, in the end, the four people, including the girl in white, each took out more than ten spiritual herbs!
The girl in white, in particular, took out nearly twenty plants by herself!
In the final count, the twelve members of the Hidden Moon Sect handed over a total of ninety Foundation Establishment Pill main ingredients!
"Ninety plants!"
Upon hearing this number, Li Huayuan and Fuyunzi's expressions changed instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads almost simultaneously.
Both of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts—this was trouble! The advantage of the Hidden Moon Sect was too great!
"You guys from Yellow Maple Valley, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and count!"
Upon seeing this, Old Monster Qiong's smile widened, as if he could already see Li Huayuan's Iron Essence and Fuyunzi's Blood Thread Dragon Inner Core in his pocket.
He couldn't help but urge them on, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
On the Yellow Maple Valley side, a Foundation Establishment deacon was in charge of counting. Lin Chuan was at the very front of the line.
Under everyone's watchful eyes.
Lin Chuan remained calm (still looking "tired"), stepped forward, and took out a seemingly ordinary storage bag.
Instead of taking them out one by one like the others, he simply turned the bag upside down and "whoosh—"
A pile of spiritual herbs brimming with vitality were poured onto a pre-prepared jade plate like beans being poured out!
At first glance, they are colorful and sparkling, and there are definitely more than twenty of them!
"this----"
The Foundation Establishment deacon from Huangfeng Valley in charge of the inventory was stunned, almost unable to believe his eyes. Li Huayuan's gaze also sharpened, his face revealing undisguised surprise.
Fu Yunzi, sitting opposite him, narrowed his eyes slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Even the ever-smiling Old Monster Qiong froze for a moment.
The Foundation Establishment deacon took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and began to quickly count and categorize: "Seven Purple Monkey Flowers! Ten Jade Marrow Fungus! Eleven Heavenly Spirit Fruits!"
He paused, his voice rising slightly with excitement: "Total—twenty-eight!"
"Twenty-eight trees?! One person's strength surpasses the entire Qingxu Sect's total?!"
"My God! How did he do that?"
Exclamations of surprise rose softly from the disciples of various sects and the Foundation Establishment managers.
The surprise on Li Huayuan's face quickly turned into ecstasy!
good boy!
This was a huge surprise for him! He contributed twenty-eight plants all by himself, which is simply unbelievable!
His gaze toward Lin Chuan was full of admiration and satisfaction.
"You're very good!"
Li Huayuan couldn't help but praise him, his voice clearly carrying throughout the entire venue.
Lin Jie, who was standing behind Lin Chuan, stared wide-eyed with his mouth slightly agape, looking completely dumbfounded.
He had lost his memory, only vaguely remembering that he seemed to be surrounded and attacked, and then he managed to escape, but his injuries were not light.
He simply couldn't understand how his usually unassuming cousin could have managed to obtain so many spiritual herbs on his own in such a dangerous forbidden area—several times more than him!
Next, it was Lin Jie's turn. He only took out five plants, and his face looked even paler.
Chen Qiaotian and his sister jointly took out nine plants, the unknown young man took out six plants, and the old man at the tenth level of Qi Refining (Xiang Zhili) who crawled out at the last moment also took out four plants.
这样一算，黄枫谷前六人总共贡献了：28+5+9+6+4=52株。
Adding the 27 plants from Qingxu Sect, the two factions together have a total of 79 plants.
We are still 11 plants short of the 90 required for the Hidden Moon Sect!
In the Huangfeng Valley team, only one person remained who had not yet handed over the spiritual medicine—Han Li.
A disciple who appears to be only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, with an ordinary appearance and who is inconspicuous in the team.
Almost no one believed that this seemingly ordinary disciple could contribute more than eleven spiritual herbs by himself.
Li Huayuan's newly risen hope sank again.
Fu Yunzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he would still lose the bet to the Hidden Moon Sect. Although he was unwilling, it was better than losing to Li Huayuan. Old Monster Qiong regained his relaxed smile.
However, the reality check came so quickly.
Han Li silently stepped forward and also took out a storage bag.
Amidst the indifferent or slightly sympathetic gazes of the crowd, he tilted the bag downwards.
"Whoosh—"
Another pile of medicinal herbs rolled onto the jade plate!
The sheer number and the intense spiritual light emanating from them appeared to be even greater than the pile Lin Chuan had just seen! A rough estimate suggested there were definitely more than twenty!
"What?!"
"That's impossible!"
"Another one?!"
The gasps were even louder than before!
Old Monster Qiong's smile froze completely. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the pile of spiritual herbs in front of Han Li. His face turned pale and then red, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up. This meant that he was going to lose the bet! He had to pay out three precious Invisible Needle Talisman Treasures!
Fu Yunzi's face was also extremely pale.
He would rather lose to Old Monster Qiong, at least the other party is of higher seniority and stronger, so the loss would not be unjust.
But losing to Li Huayuan would mean sacrificing his precious Blood Thread Dragon Inner Core!
This made his heart bleed.
Of all the Core Formation cultivators present, only Li Huayuan, after a brief moment of astonishment, erupted in uncontrollable ecstasy!
"Great! Very good! Excellent!"
Hahaha!"
Li Huayuan clapped his hands and laughed, his gaze fixed intently on Han Li, then sweeping over Lin Chuan, feeling extremely pleased.
This trip to the forbidden area resulted in a relatively large number of survivors in Huangfeng Valley.
The emergence of Lin Chuan and Han Li, two disciples who made remarkable contributions, was an unexpected delight and greatly enhanced his prestige!
The Foundation Establishment deacon from Yellow Maple Valley was trembling slightly as he hurriedly counted Han Li's spiritual herbs.
A moment later, a trembling voice, filled with excitement, resounded throughout the arena: "Han Li, a disciple of Huangfeng Valley, has submitted twenty-eight main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills!"
boom!
This number struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone's heart.
黄枫谷总贡献：28+5+9+6+4+27=80株！
Qingxu Sect + Huangfeng Valley's total contribution: 27 + 80 = 107 plants!
Far exceeding the 90 plants of the Hidden Moon Sect!
In this bet, Huangfeng Valley and Qingxu Sect emerged victorious.
