In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Before him stood a four-meter square stone cauldron containing various herb-gathering tools. Fan Tong stepped forward and briefly tested them; they were terrifyingly heavy, weighing nearly 1,500 jin (approximately 650 kg).

"That sissy, he's definitely up to no good. Looks like I'll have to be on my guard the whole way!"

Seeing such a generous gift right from the start, Fan Tong pondered to himself, then slowly hoisted the stone cauldron and began to walk towards the training ground.

"Look, everyone! That stone cauldron has become a spirit! It's moving on its own! Everyone, hurry and vanquish this demon!"

"Wait a minute! Why does this stone cauldron look so familiar?"

"I heard from my master's master that this stone cauldron was originally intended to be an incense burner, but it was too heavy and hadn't been taken out for decades. How did it end up here today?"

"My God, look! This stone cauldron has grown two human legs! It's really going to become a spirit!"

"Then why is it carrying so many hoes and such? That's really strange."

......

Seeing that more and more disciples were gathering around, Fan Tong had no choice but to cough, which startled many disciples into jumping back a step.

"Fellow disciples, please make way, I need to deliver goods to the Third Martial Arts Arena!" Helpless, Fan Tong finally had to call out, leaving behind a number of exclaiming disciples, and fled the scene in a sorry state.

Upon arriving at the training ground, the outgoing teams had already assembled. One hundred Bai Baoshan disciples and two hundred outer disciples stood there neatly. Seeing the group leading the team, Fan Tong suddenly realized what was going on.

This trip was led by Sui Shan, who was at the sixth level of the Human Spirit Realm, and was accompanied by four other true disciples, among whom was Bai Jie.

Everything is clear now; Li Lianying and Bai Jie must have colluded again to try and get revenge for what happened before.

Fan Tong knew what was going on and walked steadily toward the group of disciples.

"How dare you! You lowly servant disciple, how dare you be late? Do you think that just because you're a Human Spirit Realm expert, you can disregard everyone?"

A disciple from Baibaoshan saw Fan Tong approaching, glanced at Bai Jie, and then jumped out to berate Fan Tong.

Before Fan Tong could speak, Sui Shan, who was in the lead, said, "Junior Brother Yin, what's going on? When have disciples of Baibao Mountain ever needed servant disciples to accompany them when they go out to gather herbs? Are you looking down on us?"

After saying that, Sui Shan glared at the disciple from Baibao Mountain and walked up to him without any politeness, looking at him angrily.

"Uh, Senior Brother Sui, you're overthinking it. It's not that I look down on you all, it's just that there are some menial tasks that we'd rather not trouble you senior brothers with, so as not to lower your status!"

Yin Buping was speechless. With this physically strong but simple-minded guy leading the team, many things were going to be difficult.

"Let me tell you, don't think we don't know what you're up to. We advise you not to try anything funny. Some things aren't as simple as they seem!"

"Senior Brother Sui is right. I was also thinking about the bigger picture. Having servants and disciples carry these miscellaneous items would lighten the burden on the disciples of Hundred Treasures Mountain, so that they could gather more spiritual herbs and medicines!" Yin Buping didn't dare to say more and immediately explained in response.

"Hehe! I hope so!" Sui Shan said with a forced smile, and walked towards Fan Tong.

"Junior Brother Fan, your physical strength has increased again recently. You are truly gifted!"

"Huh? Senior Brother Sui, you're too kind! My physical strength is nothing compared to yours, I dare not say more!" Fan Tong was somewhat surprised, not knowing what Sui Shan meant.

"It's alright, just keep moving forward step by step, and you'll eventually succeed!" Sui Shan said reassuringly.

"Senior Brother Sui, look how late it is. Why don't we set off quickly so we can finish the mission as soon as possible?" Bai Jie moved gracefully to Sui Shan's side and suggested softly.

“Junior Sister Bai is right, let’s set off! Junior Brother Fan, there’s no rush, just go at your own pace!”

Sui Shan glanced at Bai Jie, whose arm was bandaged, and casually agreed, while also comforting Fan Tong.

Fan Tong didn't know what Sui Shan meant, but nodded casually without any hesitation.

A group of over three hundred people, at Sui Shan's command, marched out of the Fengqing Sect in a grand procession. After years of exploration, the sect had already made a preliminary assessment of the distribution of spiritual herbs and plants in the Tianmu Forest.

Around noon, after two small-scale battles, the disciples of Fengqing Sect finally arrived at their destination. Apart from killing a few low-grade first-rank demonic beasts, they encountered no obstacles along the way.

"This is our destination for gathering spiritual herbs and medicines. Later, using this place as the center, the disciples of Baibaoshan and the disciples of Wangmen will be divided into groups of one to two and disperse to search for spiritual herbs and medicines in the surrounding area! We will meet here at three-quarters of a minute tomorrow and return to the sect."

Sui Shan examined the map in his hand, confirmed the location, and then gave instructions to his disciples.

"Now, everyone go to Junior Brother Fan Tong to collect your herb-gathering tools. I hope you all have a good harvest. According to sect rules, the team that gathers the most spiritual herbs and medicines will receive an extra reward. Good luck to everyone!"

Seeing the disciples leaving with great enthusiasm, Sui Shan called the other four true disciples to his side, "This time, our mission, in addition to ensuring the safety of the many disciples of Baibao Mountain, is also to deal with a first-grade high-level demon beast and harvest the mid-grade spiritual herb, the Spirit Gathering Grass, that it is guarding!"

"What? Spirit Gathering Grass? That has the miraculous healing effect of stabilizing various minor realms within the Human Spirit Realm!"

"With the Spirit Gathering Grass, as long as I use five pieces, I will no longer have to worry about the risk of dropping my cultivation level due to not replenishing my spiritual power in time after breaking through?"

"Is this an extra mission given to us by the sect? No wonder they made all five of us true disciples come together!"

After listening to the discussions of the other disciples, Sui Shan glanced at Bai Jie, who had remained silent, and then began to explain, "Don't worry, everyone. The sect has said that if we can harvest more than fifty more Spirit Gathering Grass plants, each person can get five plants, and the rest can be handed over to the sect."

"The task is not bad, but a second-grade low-level demonic beast is equivalent to a Yellow Spirit Realm cultivator. Can the five of us handle it?"

"Don't worry! The sect won't send us to our deaths! Elder Mochou has given Junior Sister Bai Jie something that will be just right to deal with that demonic beast at midnight tonight!" Sui Shan glanced at Bai Jie again, keeping her in suspense.

"That's good! That's good! With the five of us taking care of it, we'll definitely have it easy!"

Seeing his disciples' confidence, Sui Shan nodded. "Alright! Everyone, let's not delay any longer. Let's set off now, get to the designated location as soon as possible, complete the mission quickly, and better plan our subsequent actions! We should gain something from this trip!"

"Thank you for thinking of us, Senior Brother Sui. However, there is still a problem. We are all strong enough to face the dangers in these deep mountains and forests. What should we do with Fan Tong, this burden?"

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Bai Jie glanced at Fan Tong, who had finished distributing the miscellaneous items and was standing blankly to the side, and said to Sui Shan with apparent concern.

"Oh? I wonder what insights Junior Sister Bai Jie has?" Sui Shan asked with some surprise, his eyes darting around.
