Just as You Xu licked his lips and wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, he saw Dragon Turtle calmly and unhurriedly digging out herbs, one or two at a time.

The grade hadn’t changed, but gradually, someone spoke up.

“That’s the Ji Ling Leaf!”

“And there’s the Snake Desire Fruit!”

“This is Blood Lotus Essence. I only need one more drop of True Blood to condense it. I’ve been to several markets and couldn’t find it. I didn’t expect to find it here.” The cultivator speaking sounded a bit breathless.

“I want to participate in the arena!” This was how cultivators were. The value of the prize was not the most important thing; it had to be suitable for oneself.

“Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle, may I ask in which group of the arena these herbs are used as prizes? What rank do you need to achieve to obtain them?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

He happened to see the two herbs he needed. If the arena wasn’t too difficult, he wanted to participate and give it a try.

Su He didn’t answer. He dug out hundreds of herbs before finally sighing.

The five arenas competed simultaneously. The sixth to tenth place received herbs as rewards. Tenth place received one herb, ninth place received two herbs, and so on. The sixth place received five herbs. A total of seventy-five herbs were selected, and the remaining ones were put up for sale in the small shop.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Even those who had been scrutinizing or even disdainful were shocked when they looked at Su He.

Five arenas, seventy-five herbs!

Only ten or eight herbs were brought out by most of the people present. Suddenly, there were more than seventy herbs, and the rest would be sold as welfare.

And these were just the prizes for the top ten in the arenas. Did this turtle have so many treasures?

You Xu’s eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

Senior Uncle is amazing!

His eyes shone as he looked at Su He. “Senior Uncle, what about the higher rankings…”

Su He glanced at him and calmly took out some tall and round porcelain bottles from his spatial storage. The rich fruity fragrance immediately filled the air.

“This is Hundred Fruit Brew!” someone exclaimed. “It’s a Transcend Mortality Fourth Grade Hundred Fruit Brew.”

One bottle of Hundred Fruit Brew might not require a hundred types of spiritual fruits, but a dozen or twenty types were always needed. This bottle of Hundred Fruit Brew was worth much more than the herbs from before.

Just as everyone was astonished, Su He took out another pile of Hundred Fruit Brews—literally a pile! They were piled up haphazardly on the ground.

They were all Fourth Grade Hundred Fruit Brews, but each had different effects. Some could enhance bloodlines, some could strengthen the physical body, and there were even two types that could strengthen Divine Sense and nourish the Sense Realm.

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

Several small boats were attracted by the commotion and approached Gui Yuan Island.

The skeptical and scrutinizing gazes disappeared.

The only doubt was: Can Dragon Turtle brew Hundred Fruit Brew? Could it be for the elders? After a moment of doubt, they immediately dismissed this idea.

Who cares! The most important thing is to get the prizes.

Su He sighed again.

These were the prizes for the third to fifth places. Fifth place received two bottles, fourth place received three bottles, and third place received four bottles. The same rules applied, and the arenas with predetermined rankings made their choices first.

The crowd exploded.

“Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle, this is unfair! We alchemists are at a disadvantage!”

“Yes, Senior Uncle. The alchemists are at a disadvantage in the alchemy arena!”

The alchemy and artifact refining arenas were the most time-consuming. But in the cultivation world, where was there absolute fairness?

You were born with an innate Dao Body, while I was born as a small turtle the size of a walnut. It’s a miracle that I can survive until today. What fairness or unfairness is there?

“Nonsense!” a young man with a broadsword shouted, “If you think it’s unfair, go to the other arenas. If you can only win prizes by controlling fire and refining artifacts, is that fair?”

The person opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

After the prizes for the third to fifth places were announced, Su He reached into his spatial storage again, and the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Now it was time for the first and second places. This was the real highlight. No one knew what Dragon Turtle Senior Uncle would bring out.

On Longevity Island, a group of seniors with different appearances were discussing or drinking tea, but at this moment, they all put down their teacups and looked over.

“Friend Ge, your disciple is completely different from you,” someone teased Old Taoist Ge.

Laughter erupted on Longevity Island. Old Taoist Ge was famous for being stingy in the entire cultivation world. His disciple, this Dragon Turtle, was not stingy at all.

Being able to win prizes at the disciples’ gathering arena was something to be remembered by Dragon Turtle.

In the future, this would be a favor, naturally bringing closeness.

This was how cultivation was. Xianxia was not just about fighting and killing; there were also many human relationships and worldly affairs. When your cultivation level was low, you could make friends with all kinds of top ten disciples in the arenas with just a few treasures of the Transcend Mortality Realm.

This was a Dao companion.

“Xian Nuer, why don’t you join in the fun?” an old woman asked her granddaughter who was serving by her side. She was an elegant fairy.

Xian Nuer shook her head. “My cultivation level is lowly. I dare not compete with senior brothers and sisters. Grandma, please don’t make fun of me.”

The old woman chuckled and looked around the small island. “Are you all not going?”

Not all disciples were outside. Most of the elders here had one or two grandchildren serving them.

This was the true elite. At least they had reached the Sense Realm of the Transcend Mortality Sixth Step, and they were favored by their masters. They didn’t need to care too much about Su He’s rewards.

Going there would only invite ridicule. The things that ordinary disciples brought, your sect’s True Transmission also came to compete for them. Isn’t that embarrassing?

Everyone nodded. If they went, they would just be smashing Dragon Turtle’s arena. A chubby boy laughed, “Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle is hosting the arena, but we can’t…”

Then, on Gui Yuan Island, Su He took out a large honeycomb.

Black bees, royal jelly.

Although the honey brewed by the black bees was not of high quality, it was still a treasure of the Transcend Mortality Third or Fourth Grade. The royal jelly was even a genius treasure of the Transcend Mortality Sixth Grade.

And it was priceless.The chubby boy on Changshou Island blinked and quickly changed his tune: “…I can’t afford to lose face! It’s Senior Uncle’s first time hosting a tournament, Junior Sister Xian’er has to take care of her grandmother, I don’t need to, I have to give face to Senior Uncle, I’ve decided to fight in this tournament, who dares to compete with me?”

He stared menacingly at the other youths on the small island.

All those who could compete with him were here.

A scholar snapped his folding fan shut: “Whether it’s royal jelly or not, I can’t back down after Brother Lei’s bold words.”

“Junior Sister Xian’er, what about you?” He turned to Xian Nu’er.

Xian Nu’er shook her head: “I…”

On Guiyuan Island, Su He took out three more beast eggs, which faintly emitted the aura of exotic beasts.

Guiyuan Island was in an uproar.

“It’s an exotic beast egg! Once hatched, it will be an exotic beast.”

“This kind of innate exotic beast, as long as it is well raised, has the chance to advance to a five-star exotic beast.”

“Insane, insane! Where do I sign up? Can one person participate in multiple tournaments?”

A five-star exotic beast! This is no longer a beast pet, it’s a life-saving treasure at critical moments, especially the exotic beast egg is even rarer than the exotic beast, personally hatching and raising it, it naturally trusts and is close to its owner. This is something that the prohibition of cultivation methods absolutely cannot compare with!

Xian Nu’er on Changshou Island blinked: “I originally didn’t want to participate, but after Brother Lei’s words, it’s Dragon Turtle Senior Uncle’s first time hosting a tournament, not participating would be disrespectful to Senior Uncle. Please wait a moment, grandmother, I’ll be back soon.”

The chubby boy opened his mouth in surprise, looking incredulously at the people on the island.

So, just because of my words, you all decided to participate?

Damn it, why are you pretending to be so noble? I tell you, I just want that royal jelly, I don’t even want to be the first, second is fine!

He made a solemn vow, his eyes challenging everyone.

Just then, Su He took out two more beast eggs, the aura of the exotic beasts was many times stronger than before. If these eggs were hatched, they would definitely have the chance to advance to a six-star exotic beast.

Su He chanted: “The royal jelly and the beast eggs just now are the second prize, these two beast eggs, and…”

He took out three ordinary Danyang fruits.

And Danyang fruits, are the first prize, still the first to decide gets the first choice.

Everyone was silent for a moment, on the left was the chance to advance to a six-star exotic beast egg, on the right was the Danyang fruit that could be used in the Demon Subduing Realm.

The prizes were too generous, for a moment they didn’t know which one to choose.

Su He looked at their serious selection, and suddenly felt something familiar.

Yes, when he was asked whether he wanted to go to Tsinghua or Peking University in the future, he was just as troubled and tangled.

On Changshou Island, the chubby boy’s eyes sparkled, looking at his peers around him.

This first prize, I’ve got it!
