"Heavens! Am I seeing things?"
"With so many spirit materials, there must be at least seven or eight thousand, if not ten thousand! How did this kid manage it?"
"No way, are you kidding me? Heavenly Splendor Peak actually... lost?!"
...
Sharp-eyed disciples noticed this scene and immediately exclaimed.
In the next second, all eyes fell on Su Shi'er.
Looking at the mountain-like pile of spirit materials, everyone held their breath, gasping in shock, unable to speak.
The leaders of each peak were equally stunned by the scene, their eyes wide open, dumbfounded.
Fu Boren, the Peak Lord of Heavenly Splendor Peak, and Lu Mingshi, the Peak Lord of Luofu Peak, also looked at Su Shi'er, their faces filled with astonishment.
However, when Lu Mingshi saw the spirit materials in front of Su Shi'er, he was first taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.
At that moment, he even felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.
His eyebrows danced with joy, and he laughed out loud, unable to hide his delight.
Turning to look at Su Shi'er, he found the young man increasingly pleasing to the eye. With a beaming smile, his expression became exceptionally kind.
In stark contrast, Fu Boren's smile froze, his face full of embarrassment.
Unbelievable, a sure-win bet was overturned just like that?
Ye Liangchuan stood among the crowd, staring at the pile of spirit materials. His pupils contracted, and his body trembled violently.
A mix of shock and disbelief surged through him.
Then, he quickly stepped forward, leaned close to Fu Boren, and whispered, "Master, the Spirit Plant Garden, the spirit materials this kid brought out are mostly spirit plants. He... he robbed the Spirit Plant Garden!"
"The vermilion fruit must be on him!"
Ye Liangchuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.
Fu Boren nodded slightly. He had already realized it without Ye Liangchuan's reminder.

His previously flushed complexion turned ashen, his gaze sharp as a sword, directed straight at Su Shi'er.
"What, old geezer, can't take a loss and want to trouble a junior?" Lu Mingshi immediately shielded Su Shi'er behind him, laughing as he shouted at Fu Boren.
Su Shi'er had brought him such glory, and he liked him more and more now.
In front of so many people, he couldn't possibly let Fu Boren trouble Su Shi'er. Otherwise, he would lose face.
"Trouble? Senior Brother, your arrangement was truly impressive, a real eye-opener. But what about those vermilion fruits? Aren't you going to show them to us?" Fu Boren pursed his lips, speaking with irritation.
He never expected Luofu Peak to snatch the opportunity.
At this moment, he was particularly furious. After all, the other spirit plants in the Spirit Plant Garden were not important, but the vermilion fruits on the vermilion fruit tree were especially precious. If he could refine one or two, combined with the Hundred-Year Cold Jade, he had a thirty percent chance of achieving the strongest Golden Elixir.
"What arrangement, what vermilion fruit, old geezer, what are you talking about?" Lu Mingshi looked at Fu Boren with a bewildered expression.
"You don't know? Then it seems your disciple is hiding something!" Fu Boren glanced at Lu Mingshi, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he squinted his eyes.
"Hiding something? What a joke, there's no spiritual power fluctuation of a storage artifact on him, what's there to hide?" Lu Mingshi rolled his eyes, retorting unceremoniously.
He now treasured Su Shi'er immensely.
"Then you should ask your disciple! Kid, do you dare say these spirit materials weren't found in the Spirit Plant Garden? Isn't the vermilion fruit tree and the vermilion fruit in your possession?" Fu Boren's gaze sharpened, once again looking at Su Shi'er.
Spirit Plant Garden? Vermilion fruit?
Lu Mingshi raised an eyebrow, recalling some rumors he had heard earlier.
No way, did this kid snatch it from Heavenly Splendor Peak? How did he do it?
He was already filled with curiosity about how Su Shi'er managed to gather so many spirit materials.
Now, with Fu Boren's words, he knew the victory was certain, and his curiosity was piqued again. His eyes twinkled as he walked over to Su Shi'er, patting him on the shoulder.
"Su Shi'er, don't be afraid. Just tell the truth about what happened. With me here, no one can do anything to you!"
Su Shi'er?!
With Lu Mingshi's inquiry.
In the crowd of Heavenly Melody Peak, Shen Miaoyin raised an eyebrow slightly, squinting at Su Shi'er. So... his name is Su Shi'er?
At the same time, at the front of the Heavenly Unique Peak crowd, the Great Elder, who was stroking his beard with a look of amusement, trembled, a fierce and cold glint flashing quickly in his eyes.
Hearing Lu Mingshi suddenly call out his name, Su Shi'er, who was already a bit nervous, felt his heart skip a beat.
He couldn't forget that the black-clothed person was in the Cloud Song Sect and knew his name. If he was discovered by the other party, he would be doomed.
He squinted his eyes, quickly scanning the surroundings, mainly focusing on the leaders of each peak. Seeing that apart from Fu Boren, the others showed no change in expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking it over, he knew that he had to give an explanation for today's matter.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this and made some preparations, so he quickly said, "Peak Lord, the items indeed came from the Spirit Plant Garden, but I don't know anything about vermilion fruits!"
"I accidentally found a pass token to the Spirit Plant Garden and went there to gather these herbs. Halfway through, I encountered a giant python demonic beast and left in a hurry..."
Su Shi'er, feeling anxious, quickly told a story of a young man with extraordinary luck who accidentally found treasure.
His story was half-true, half-false, completely omitting his efforts and attributing everything to luck. When he finished, Lu Mingshi was half-convinced.
After all, given Su Shi'er's cultivation level, this explanation seemed the most reasonable.
Lu Mingshi nodded, looking at Su Shi'er with a somewhat speechless expression.
This kid's luck was just too good! Others worked themselves to the bone searching for spirit materials, and he just picked up a pass token and got so much?
Lu Mingshi wasn't the only one with such thoughts.
In the crowd, many people stared at Su Shi'er with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Who wouldn't want such luck?
Han Yu, on the other hand, pursed his lips disdainfully, raising his head with a bit of contempt. In his eyes, Su Shi'er was nothing more than a timid person who relied on luck to get this far. Such a person couldn't possibly go far.
Su Shi'er kept his head down, appearing simple and unassuming, not wanting to show too much brilliance.
Understanding the situation, Lu Mingshi immediately turned his gaze to Fu Boren, smiling as he said, "Junior Brother, you heard it too! So, do you need me to count the number of these spirit materials?"
"Sigh, I warned you, don't show off, don't show off, now you're embarrassed!"
"Are you going to give me the Purple Thunder Sword now, or are you planning to renege on your debt like last time?"
Lu Mingshi beamed, shaking his head as he spoke, looking completely triumphant.
