The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The exit of the forbidden area is a small canyon, with a teleportation portal standing behind it.

Lu Yao did not disguise himself, but stood directly in front of the teleportation portal, calmly waiting for the medicine-delivering cultivator to arrive.

Han Li, meanwhile, was hiding among the rocks not far away, waiting for his chance to strike.

Lu Yao stood in front of the teleportation portal for an hour, but no one came. However, he was not worried. There was only one teleportation portal in the entire forbidden area, and these cultivators would come sooner or later.

In fact, Lu Yao had already discovered that many cultivators were lying in ambush outside the canyon. They probably couldn't figure out his strength and had quietly hidden themselves, waiting for others to step forward and test the waters.

"Big brother, what's wrong with that guy? Why is he standing at the teleportation exit? Should we go over there?"

"What's the rush? That person's cultivation is extremely well hidden; we can't see through him at all. Let's wait and see; maybe some naive fool will go and scout ahead for us."

……

In a patch of grass outside the canyon, two disciples from Spirit Beast Mountain were secretly communicating via telepathy.

At least a dozen other groups of people shared the same idea as these two disciples from Spirit Beast Mountain.

Just then, a figure shimmering with rainbow light rapidly approached the exit of the forbidden area.

"coming."

Lu Yao's expression shifted, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A cultivator dressed in a white robe and holding a green sword appeared in the canyon.

"It's Qing Songzi from the Qingxu Sect!"

"Hahaha, this is going to be interesting. Qing Songzi is at the peak of Qi Refining and is also a disciple of Qingyun Zhenren. He is one of the best in this trial."

“That’s right, let’s give that disciple from the Hidden Moon Sect a try.”

……

"People from the Hidden Moon Sect? What are you doing blocking the exit? Get out of the way!"

Qing Songzi had striking features, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and wore a Taoist robe that made him appear exceptionally otherworldly.

"That won't do. You can leave, but you can leave two medicinal herbs behind."

Lu Yao smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head at Qing Songzi.

"Hahaha! You've got guts! You actually dared to do something that ordinary people wouldn't dare to do."

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Qing Songzi, who had been expressionless, suddenly became somewhat strange and then gave Lu Yao a thumbs up.

Qing Songzi had considered charging for blocking the gate, but ultimately gave up. First, he didn't have the strength, and second, he was afraid of being killed by high-level Core Formation cultivators from other sects if he went out.

Qing Songzi couldn't help but admire Lu Yao's act of blocking the door.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback. In his expectations, the person who came would either hand over the spiritual medicine directly or be beaten up before handing over the spiritual medicine. However, Qing Songzi admired him.

"Fellow Daoist, may I observe for a while?"

Qing Songzi thought for a moment, then said to Lu Yao with great interest.

"what ever."

Lu Yao frowned slightly, not knowing what Qing Songzi meant, but if he wanted to go back, he had to leave behind the elixir.

Upon hearing this, Qing Songzi smiled and walked to the side.

"What's wrong with Qing Songzi? Why did he walk away after only exchanging a few words?"

"Do they know each other? Are they planning to ambush us together?"

……

Those observing from outside the canyon were immediately anxious, not expecting that Qing Songzi would not make a move.

Soon, two disciples of Huadaowu couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out.

"Get out of here right now! Do you want to die?"

One of the disciples of Huadaowu, dressed in purple, conjured a magic sword and shouted at Lu Yao.

The spiritual energy emanating from him clearly indicated that he was at the peak of the Qi Refining realm, while his fellow disciple beside him was also at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining realm. The two of them had come together, obviously intending to break through the forbidden area's exit in one fell swoop.

"Thunder Soul Pearl!"

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and the Thunder Soul Pearl shot into the sky, followed by several bolts of lightning.

"Boom!"

Two violent and swift lightning bolts struck the two directly, sending them flying.

Lu Yao was holding back; otherwise, these two would have been seriously injured, if not killed. If they had been injured here, surrounded by wolves, it would have been almost impossible for them to leave the forbidden area.

"He is a foundation-building cultivator!"

"How is this possible! How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator have entered this forbidden area?!"

"Why bother fighting? Let's just give all the spiritual herbs to the Hidden Moon Sect!"

"We have many Qi Refining cultivators, including more than a dozen at the Perfection Realm. If we join forces, we might not be without a chance of victory!"

"Alright, why don't you go first?"

……

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Lu Yao's move immediately made the watching cultivators realize that Lu Yao's cultivation level was not that of a Qi Refining cultivator at all.

"Senior Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is a spiritual medicine that I would like to offer as a token of my respect. Please allow me to pass."

When Qing Songzi saw Lu Yao make a move, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood why Lu Yao dared to block the door.

Asking Lu Yao why Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter the forbidden area was pointless; he could only pass on the information and let the Core Formation cultivators of the various sects decide.

Before that, it's best not to provoke Lu Yao.

"Go over there."

Lu Yao stored the two century-old spiritual herbs into his Origin Space and spoke calmly.

"Thank you, senior!"

Qing Songzi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only two spiritual herbs, which wasn't too many for him.

Immediately, Qing Songzi transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the teleportation array at the exit of the forbidden area.

With a flash of light, Qing Songzi's figure disappeared into the forbidden area.

"Senior brother! He's a Foundation Establishment cultivator, should we still fight?"

"Hit? Are you out of your mind?"

The two disciples of Huadaowu who were just blasted away by lightning looked very disheveled, their clothes were tattered.

Upon hearing his junior brother's words, the senior disciple of Huadaowu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"With two spiritual herbs, each person can leave the forbidden area."

Lu Yao used his object manipulation technique to drag over a huge rock and carved the following sentence on it.

After all, it's too troublesome to explain it to every group of people who come.

"Senior! We were rude just now. This is the cost of the medicine for the two of us."

The two disciples of Huadaowu who had just been blasted away quickly came over and respectfully handed Lu Yao four spiritual herbs.

Lu Yao nodded and pointed to the teleportation array behind them, indicating that the two of them could go over there.

"Thank you so much, senior! x2"

The two bowed respectfully to Lu Yao and flew over, being teleported away.

Han Li, who was hiding among the rocks, suddenly felt that it might be a bit too much to take 30% of the spiritual medicine, since he hadn't even done anything yet.

"Once we get out of here, I don't want the elixir anymore. Brother Yao is still the best to me."

After thinking it over, Han Li decided to decline Lu Yao's offer of a share of the profits, as he felt unworthy of it and felt even more respect for Lu Yao.

……

After learning of Lu Yao's cultivation level, the disciples of the seven sects outside the canyon entered the canyon one after another, obediently handed over the spiritual herbs, and were directly teleported out.

Lu Yao did not accept any spiritual herbs from the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect; he simply let them pass.

Although not all disciples from the same sect are necessarily good people, it is still important to maintain appearances; otherwise, it will be difficult to gain the sect's support.
