The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, set up a checkpoint at the exit of the forbidden area to collect spiritual herbs.

This behavior is neither a big deal nor a small one.

To put it more bluntly, it's about the strong bullying the weak and damaging the friendship between righteous sects.

To put it mildly, it was something that happened within the forbidden area; once you leave, it won't be pursued any further.

After all, the competition for spiritual herbs in the forbidden area is fierce. Who killed more than half of them each time? It was the disciples of the seven sects who entered who did it, and no sect pursued the matter.

However, all of this depends on the sect choosing to support Lu Yao.

Therefore, Lu Yao not only cannot accept the spiritual medicines from the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, but he may also have to hand over some of the spiritual medicines to the sect in the end.

Just as Lu Yao was pondering, several streaks of light rapidly approached the exit of the forbidden area.

It was Nangong Wan and her group.

"Junior Nephew Lu, what's going on?"

Nangong Wan stared at the words on the boulder beside her, slightly taken aback.

"Cough cough cough, Uncle-Master Nangong, didn't you say that all the spiritual herbs we obtain afterward would belong to me? That's why I thought of this method."

Lu Yao looked at Nangong Wan and helplessly shrugged.

"You did this..."

Nangong Wan was startled, her small mouth slightly open, looking at Lu Yao with some disbelief.

"How many medicinal herbs will we need to collect?!"

Nangong Wan's bright eyes were wide open as she looked at Lu Yao with a somewhat dazed expression. Coupled with his petite figure, she was quite adorable.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll give you half when we get out."

Lu Yao smiled mysteriously and decisively pulled Nangong Wan onto the boat.

"Is this true?"

Nangong Wan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Yao with some suspicion.

"Of course! However, Uncle-Master knows that this matter will definitely enrage the elders of the other six sects, so you'll have to help me."

Lu Yao nodded and directly stated his terms.

"It's not impossible. Besides, your master is out there. With him around, who can touch you?"

Nangong Wan smiled and looked at Lu Yao with great interest.

"Cough cough cough, isn't it just that having more people means more pressure to share?"

Lu Yao coughed lightly and said with a serious expression.

"Oh? Is that really so? Never mind, remember my elixir."

Nangong Wan gave Lu Yao a deep look, but didn't pursue the matter further. She led eight disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect directly into the teleportation array and left the forbidden area.

As Lu Yao watched Nangong Wan leave the forbidden area, his gaze deepened.

He had another purpose in bringing Nangong Wan along: to guard against Zhou Qingning.

Zhou Yibao and Zhou Qingyun died in the forbidden area. Lu Yao didn't know if Zhou Qingning would find out that he was the one who did it. Even though he used a recording talisman to remember that Zhou Yibao and Zhou Qingyun started it, there was no guarantee what might happen if they did find out.

Nangong Wan accepted his elixir, which was at least an extra layer of insurance.

After Nangong Wan and the others left the forbidden area, cultivators would occasionally arrive at the exit. Apart from a few foolish ones who tried to experience the power of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the rest obediently handed over the spiritual medicines.

There is one hour left before the forbidden area closes.

Outside the forbidden area, the cultivators of the seven major sects were already in an uproar.

……

Five hours ago.

Qing Songzi's figure flew out directly from the teleportation channel.

Qingsongzi calmly landed on the stone platform outside the forbidden area.

"Haha, let our disciple come out first."

When Fuyunzi saw Qingsongzi, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Greetings, Elder. This disciple has important matters to report."

As soon as Qing Songzi came out, he immediately went to Fu Yunzi and bowed.

"Oh? Has something changed in the forbidden area? Tell me quickly."

Fu Yunzi was taken aback, Qing Songzi's words made him think that the restrictions in the forbidden area had changed.

Qing Songzi hesitated for a moment and looked at the old monster Qiong standing to the side.

Why are you looking at the people from the Hidden Moon Sect?

Fu Yunzi frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Reporting to the elder, when I was leaving the forbidden area, I encountered Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect blocking the exit. Each of them had to hand over two spiritual herbs before they could leave the forbidden area."

Qing Songzi carefully crafted his words and explained the situation at the exit of the forbidden area.

Qing Songzi's words surprised all the Core Formation cultivators from the seven major sects, including Old Monster Qiong.

"This is impossible! No Foundation Establishment cultivator can escape our senses!"

The Core Formation elder of Spirit Beast Mountain frowned and stared at Qing Songzi as he spoke.

“That’s right. Even if there were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he couldn’t get in. The restrictions on the forbidden area are not to be underestimated.”

The burly man from the Giant Sword Sect, carrying a sword, also spoke in a deep voice, clearly not believing Qing Songzi's words.

"Tell me in detail what happened in the forbidden area."

Although Fu Yunzi believed that Qing Songzi would not lie, he still had some doubts.

"At that time, the disciple entered the canyon at the exit of the forbidden area..."

Before long, Qing Songzi recounted his encounter with Lu Yao in detail.

"By the way, this is what that disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect looks like."

After Qing Songzi finished speaking, he used water-attribute magic to condense Lu Yao's appearance, which clearly showed that he was quite skilled in water-attribute magic.

"How did this kid break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the forbidden area?"

After hearing Qing Songzi's description, Qiong Laoguai had a general idea of ​​who was blocking the door.

"Senior Qiong, could you please give us an explanation for this?"

Fu Yunzi frowned and gave Qiong Laoguai a deep look.

Qiong Tianyu is of a very high seniority. He is a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator and has reached the late Core Formation stage. He is the most powerful among them and deserves to be called a senior.

"Explanation? What explanation? This disciple is my apprentice. Didn't you all investigate him before he went in? He's undoubtedly at the Qi Refining stage. He must have obtained some precious medicine in the forbidden area to break through to this level."

Old Monster Qiong looked indifferent and said calmly.

In fact, even Old Monster Qiong wasn't quite sure how Lu Yao broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He knew very well that Lu Yao's cultivation level had indeed fallen back to the Qi Refining stage.

"Senior Qiong is joking. Everyone knows that breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage takes three months. Is it possible that your disciple broke through in just a few days?"

Fu Yunzi looked incredulous. Instead, he wondered if the Hidden Moon Sect possessed a method to allow Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter the forbidden area, just like the previous incident with the Moon Sun Pearl.

"What's the rush? There are countless precious medicines in the world. Do you know there aren't any spiritual objects that can directly help someone break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Besides, once my disciple comes out, the truth will come out."

Old Monster Qiong glared at Fuyunzi and snorted impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzi said no more, but frowned and glanced at the other Core Formation cultivators.

The elders from other sects also frowned slightly, recalling the Moon Sun Pearl from the past.

The once-powerful Hidden Moon Sect, relying on the Moon Sun Pearl, secretly and frantically gathered herbs in the Crimson Forbidden Land, refining far more Foundation Establishment Pills than the other six sects, thus establishing itself as the leader of the seven major sects.

They absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen again. If the Hidden Moon Sect can send Foundation Establishment cultivators into the forbidden area at will in the future, then why should they bother collecting spiritual herbs? They might as well just give the forbidden area to the Hidden Moon Sect.
