In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar, with everyone fixated on the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, showering it with praise.
Fu Boren beamed with delight, his gaze quickly sweeping across the crowd. When he noticed the location of the Heavenly Melody Peak disciples, he paused slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Elder Xu, didn't Peak Lord Shen come today?"
In front of the Heavenly Melody Peak disciples, a graceful woman in palace attire smiled and said, "The Peak Lord has been exhausting her mental energy deducing formations these past few days and is currently in seclusion within the peak to recuperate."
"Exhausting her mental energy? Peak Lord Shen truly works hard. Here, I have a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Elixir. Elder Xu, could you please pass it on to Peak Lord Shen for me?" Fu Boren immediately showed concern, quickly expressing his care.
As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle about a finger's length from his bosom and tossed it to the woman in palace attire with a concerned expression.
"Then I thank Senior Brother Fu on behalf of the Peak Lord!" the woman in palace attire said with a smile.
Seeing this, the other Peak Lords and Elders also took out various items, offering them to the woman in palace attire with concern.
Heavenly Melody Peak might not be the strongest, but its Peak Lord was proficient in formations and was also the most beautiful woman in the Cloud Song Sect.
She was well-liked by the elders and Peak Lords!
The woman in palace attire accepted everyone's goodwill with a smile, welcoming all comers.
At this moment, an elder with a bushy beard from Cloud Terrace Peak laughed and shouted, "Junior Brother Fu, you really kept this under wraps! Quietly, you managed to create a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact."
Fu Boren chuckled, "Senior Brother Chen, you're too kind. It's just a little trick of mine. Your mastery in pill concoction is truly remarkable. Without your support, where would we get so many Spirit Pills to use?"
"Moreover, being able to craft this Purple Thunder Sword is all thanks to Senior Brother Chaoyang from Rising Sun Peak. I just didn't expect that Senior Brother Chaoyang wouldn't personally lead the team today."
As he spoke, Fu Boren turned to glance in the direction of the Rising Sun Peak disciples. Among the crowd, only one elder led the team, and facing Fu Boren's gaze, that elder merely smiled faintly without speaking.
"Hmph! You old rascal, showing off again. You managed to craft this Low Grade Spiritual Artifact using my Purple Thunder Stone. Give me back my Purple Thunder Stone!" At this moment, Lu Mingshi rolled his eyes and said to Fu Boren with irritation.
Fu Boren shook his head with a smile, "The Purple Thunder Stone is gone! But Senior Brother, are you interested in another bet? I'll wager this Purple Thunder Sword. How about it?"
Lu Mingshi was about to get angry, but upon hearing this, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Another bet? With this Low Grade Spiritual Artifact? You old rascal, what do you want to bet on?"
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"It's simple! We'll bet on which of our two peaks collects more and better materials in this trial. If we lose, the Purple Thunder Sword is yours. If you lose, you give me that intact piece of Hundred-Year Cold Jade you have. How about it?" Fu Boren pursed his lips, clearly displeased with the nickname but not angry, smiling with narrowed eyes.
Lu Mingshi waved his hand in frustration, "Bah! Dream on, our Luofu Peak has fewer people. No matter how much material we collect, we can't match your numbers!"
"If you want my Hundred-Year Cold Jade, just say so, but I'm telling you, don't even think about it."
Fu Boren wasn't angry but smiled and said, "Senior Brother, there's no need to get so worked up. I wouldn't do something so unfair."
"For this trial, if your Luofu Peak collects materials exceeding one-tenth of what our Heavenly Splendor Peak collects, you win."
"Your Luofu Peak may have fewer people, but surely, Senior Brother, you have more confidence than that, right?"
Lu Mingshi furrowed his brows, quickly glancing back, then looking at the people from Heavenly Splendor Peak.
If it were based on total quantity, he felt there was no chance of winning.
But if it was just one-tenth, it wasn't impossible. Moreover, for this trial, he had specifically instructed the Elder in charge of passing on skills to secretly train a group of people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel tempted. The Purple Thunder Sword, a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact!
The Hundred-Year Cold Jade was also valuable, but compared to such a treasure, it was a bit lacking.
"Are you sure?" He took a deep breath and looked up at Fu Boren.
"Of course. With other Senior Brothers and Sisters as witnesses, are you worried I might go back on my word?" Fu Boren laughed heartily.
Turning his head, he quickly glanced over the Peak Lords and Elders, then continued, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, would you be interested in being witnesses for me and Senior Brother Lu?"
The others exchanged smiles and nodded in agreement.
They might not be interested in participating in such a bet, but they were certainly interested in watching the spectacle.
However, in everyone's hearts, they felt that Luofu Peak's chances of winning were slim.
Heavenly Splendor Peak had the most people and the strongest strength, and it wasn't just for a day or two within the Cloud Song Sect.
"Senior Brother Lu, did you see that? Are you going to bet?" Fu Boren asked with a smile, looking at Lu Mingshi once again.
"Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you, old rascal? Fine, I'll take this bet!" Lu Mingshi raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly.
After saying this, he gave Fu Boren a sidelong glance and turned to look at the people on the flying boat.
"You all heard the bet with Heavenly Splendor Peak just now, right?"
"Losing a few things is a small matter, but our Luofu Peak... can't be looked down upon."
"For this trial, give it your all. Whether or not we surpass Heavenly Splendor Peak, the top five who collect the most materials will not only become formal disciples but will also have an additional opportunity to enter the Treasure Pavilion and select a treasure."
After quickly saying this, Lu Mingshi turned his gaze to Han Yu and Xiao Yue.
In his heart, he had the highest hopes for these two personal disciples.
But the others also needed encouragement, as even if each person found one more material, it would still be significant.
The people on the flying boat were once again invigorated by Lu Mingshi's words.
Each peak had a Treasure Pavilion, and the treasures within were at least High Grade Ritual Artifacts. Among them, there were also advanced techniques and secret arts.
In the past, such opportunities would never have fallen to servant disciples like them.
Even Su Shi'er couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. For cultivators, having an extra good treasure or a good technique was like having half a life more.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Lu Mingshi continued to control the flying boat to land.
Everyone quickly disembarked from the flying boat and, like the disciples from other peaks, waited patiently.
They didn't have to wait long before six streaks of light flashed across the sky. Then, six flying swords carrying more than thirty people descended from the sky, landing in the center of the valley.
On one of the six flying swords stood only an elder.
Dressed in snow-white robes with mysterious cloud-patterned sleeves, his hair styled in a Daoist bun, his face full of wrinkles, and a foot-long white beard, his gaze was deep and serene, exuding an aura of immortality.
On the other five flying swords stood seven young disciples at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. With their cultivation, they were not capable of sword flight.
Yet, at this moment, they were indeed flying on swords, a sight that was quite marvelous to behold.
These people were the elders and disciples of the main peak, Heavenly Unique Peak, of the Cloud Song Sect.
In terms of numbers, the least populated among the seven peaks of Cloud Song was not Luofu Peak but the main peak, Heavenly Unique Peak.
However, in terms of strength, Heavenly Unique Peak was not lacking. To enter Heavenly Unique Peak, one had to at least possess a High Grade single spirit root.
