Chapter 634: Joining Ethereal Summit?
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
While grabbing Little White’s fur, Duan Yao entered Ethereal Summit and saw a dozen well-fed snow lion cubs rolling around on the ground while the Babel Spiritual Treasure, the golden shield, was flying around the valley. Hao Ren and three beautiful girls were busy working in the spiritual fields barefooted.
When Little White put Duan Yao on the ground, the bored golden shield shot a golden light onto Little White’s rump.
Little White jumped and immediately flew over to fight with the golden shield.
Standing in the valley in confusion, Duan Yao didn’t see the legendary Herb King Master.
She looked at the three beautiful girls beside Hao Ren and realized that none of them was Zhao Yanzi. She felt baffled.
Flying on his black disk, Zhen Congming was moving across the corners of the valley, making marks.
Architecture and array formation were similar; both needed to create a structure first. Zhen Congming observed the terrain and the directions of the five elements before building a big array formation.
Seeing them working busily, Duan Yao who was ready for death looked around and didn’t know what to do.
“Come here!” Hao Ren stood up in the spiritual fields and beckoned at her.
Duan Yao walked over.
She wanted to die with Hao Ren, but her dagger had been confiscated before she was locked on Repentance Cliff at Sky Mountain Sect. Without any weapons, she was no match for Hao Ren with her fists.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Duan Yao with caution.
However, Xie Yujia looked at her with some sympathy.
After the great battle, Ethereal Summit was in a mess, but it was getting orderly as Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and the others worked on it.
Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao up and down and saw the tear tracks on her face, as well as the two purple bruises on her wrists where the skin had rotten so much that bones were exposed.
“Sky Mountain Sect is merciless,” Hao Ren thought.
“Yujia, give her two detox pills,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok!” Yujia had noticed the ugly wounds on Duan Yao’s wrists and ached at the thought that Duan Yao was almost as young as Zhao Yanzi.
She took out two pills from her ring and tossed them at Duan Yao.
However, Duan Yao slapped the two level 4 pills away with her right hand.
The valuable elixir pills dropped into the muddy fields.
Duan Yao puffed her cheeks and said, “I don’t want your pity!”
“Ungrateful brat…” The Lu sisters were about to lecture her, but Hao Ren raised a hand and stopped them.
Xie Yujia shook her head helplessly, thinking that this young girl’s temper was as hot as Zhao Yanzi’s.
“There is about half an acre of the field left. You can clean it.” After pulling the Lu sisters out of the water field, Hao Ren said to Duan Yao.
Duan Yao glared at Hao Ren, not able to suppress her fury.
“Yujia, come out and let her do it,” Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.
After hesitating for half a second, Xie Yujia nodded and walked out of the field.
She needed to put away the spiritual herbs from the two sects, and she had to make more essence-unlocking notes since they were running out.
Out of the valley, the cultivators from different sects flew around Ethereal Summit.
After Suyang Master of Qingcheng Sect and Manniu Master of Chuxiong Sect recovered their realms, all the sects on Sixth Heaven were trying their best to search for the spiritual herbs that Xie Yujia mentioned.
While all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ realms were locked, the ones who removed the lock first would have an absolute advantage over the other sects.
Gritting her teeth and with tears in her eyes, Duan Yao looked up at the cultivators outside the valley and then jumped into the water fields.
Due to the wounds inflicted by the Ice Fire Shackle, her hands were covered by purple bruises and rotten flesh, but she had no choice now after her Dad left her in Ethereal Summit.
She was no longer the daughter of Sky Mountain Sect Master nor the pearl of Sky Mountain Sect. All her arrogance was gone!
While crying, she searched for the rocks in the water field before moving them out. In the past dozen years, her only work was cultivation and didn’t need to do anything else.
In Sky Mountain Sect, the chores such as fixing the spiritual fields were the job of the lowest, and she had never imagined that she would do it.
Her bruised wrists hurt like they were on fire when she dipped them into the water.
Hao Ren stood by the fields and watched her work, flanked by silent Lu sisters.
At the thought that Sky Mountain Sect deserted her, Duan Yao cried harder. However, she swallowed her tears after meeting Hao Ren’s cold gaze.
“Wang Dong, the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect, hopes to see Herb King Master!” A magnificent voice sounded outside of the valley.
Duan Yao straightened her sore back and looked toward the entrance of the valley.
“Dad can’t let me go after all. He must have sent the First Elder to take me back!
“With respect, Sky Mountain Sect offers three 10,000-year-old Golden Hammers for one dharma note from Master!” The voice of the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect rose again.
“Sky Mountain Sect!” Hao Ren circulated his full nature essence. “Sky Mountain Sect must double the offer!”
“Well…” After a moment of hesitation, the First Elder answered immediately, “Ok! As long as the master forgives us, Sky Mountain Sect will try its best!”
Hearing the First Elder’s words, Duan Yao’s tears fell again.
He had mentioned no word about Duan Yao, which meant that she was totally abandoned. What Sky Mountain Sect cared about was getting the dharma note instead of taking Duan Yao back!
“Three 10,000-year-old Golden Hammers and three 10,000-year-old Brass Drum Skins for one dharma note!” the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect yelled with great sincerity and a bit of anxiety in his voice.
He was one of the elders of Sky Mountain Sect who surrounded Ethereal Summit. However, the time had changed, and he had to admit defeat. After all, the essence-unlocking notes had controlled all the sects on Sixth Heaven!
“Little White!” Hao Ren called out.
Little White who had been frolicking with the golden shield shot into Xie Yujia’s cave abode and flew out of the valley with a dharma note in its mouth. It then returned with the level 6 spiritual herbs from Sky Mountain Sect.
These spiritual herbs were still fresh; Sky Mountain Sect was indeed wealthy.
“Thank you for the dharma note, Master!” The First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect left with the note.
Hearing the First Elder’s voice getting distant, Duan Yao had a stiff expression on her face while her teeth almost broke her red lips.
No one cared about her, a small cultivator at low-tier Core Formation Realm. In front of the huge difference of powers, all Sky Mountain Sect wanted was to appease the anger of Herb King Master, so he would allow the sect to live.
Even at double the price, Sky Mountain Sect would try to recover the realms of its Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
The moment that the First Elder of Sky Mountain Sect left, another voice sounded at the entrance of the valley, “The senior disciple of Qingcheng Sect, Liu Heng, offers three 10,000-year-old Daphne to Master!”
After turning its storage upside down, Qingcheng Sect had found three 10,000-year-old Daphne and hurried to offer them to Ethereal Summit.
Now all the sects were searching for the spiritual herbs like crazy, afraid that Herb King Master would increase the price suddenly. However, even if the price rose to six spiritual herbs, they still had to accept it just as Sky Mountain Sect did.
Ethereal Summit had the right of pricing, and they were under its control.
“Take them!” Hao Ren answered.
Little White who had just returned to the valley had to fly out again to bring back the three spiritual herbs. By this time, Xie Yujia had just finished drawing a new note, and Little White brought it out.
“Thank you for the note, Master!” Liu Heng’s voice shook with excitement.
Those cultivators from other sects were green with envy. If they were not on the territory of the Herb King Master, they would have taken the note by force.
A note which could recover the lost realm for the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was enough to cause a bloody battle between sects!
This was why the masters who had lost their realms stayed close to Ethereal Summit instead of staying in their own sects on Sixth Heaven. If the notes left the territory of Ethereal Summit, they would certainly be robbed!
Due to the presence of Herb King Master in the valley, these sects hadn’t begun their fight. Besides, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had recovered their realms dared not to fight here.
As to those masters who hadn’t recovered their realms, they dared not to leave Ethereal Summit. If they did, they would be killed by those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had recovered their realms!
When Liu Heng from Qingcheng Sect received the note, the cultivators from other sects quickly flew to their respective camps to report the news.
As some masters had recovered their realms, and others still stayed at the Core Formation Realm, the atmosphere around Ethereal Summit got more intense.
For a few notes that Xie Yujia drew, the sects on Sixth Heaven had turned their treasure palaces upside-down!
“Ok!” Zhen Congming finished his inspection and landed beside Hao Ren while stepping on his black disk.
“I’ve finished the marking. If you can find 15 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, 150 Core Formation Realm cultivators, and 1,500 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, I’ll help you rebuild the grand array formation!”
He had skipped classes to come here and was impatient to get back.
With a smile, Hao Ren circulated the small amount of nature essence in his body and yelled, “In the next two hours, four level 4 spiritual herbs can trade for one essence-unlocking note!”
Knowing that Xie Yujia spent nature essence on drawing the notes, Hao Ren increased the price without hesitation!
Hearing Hao Ren’s announcement, the cultivators outside were astonished. If the price continued to rise like this, the later they found the spiritual herbs, the higher price they would pay!
The atmosphere got even more intense. They had to search harder for the spiritual herbs and hand them to Ethereal Summit as soon as possible!
“The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can trade 100-year-worth of cultivation strength for one note,” Hao Ren stated after a short pause.
