Lin Yifan gathered a lot of medicinal herbs.

Looking at these herbs, Fangfang was puzzled: Could it be that Yifan intends to refine the Ascension Pill?

The reason for thinking this way was because the herbs Lin Yifan collected were all necessary for refining the Ascension Pill.

However, the herbs were not yet fully collected, so it was too early to draw conclusions.

After a while, almost all the important herbs were collected, leaving only the last one.

But this particular herb was extremely rare. The Medicinal Saint Valley might have it, but certainly wouldn't have many, because it grows very slowly. Even if you have abundant spiritual energy, you can't obtain much; it takes a long time to cultivate a significant amount.

The Medicinal Saint Valley often refines elixirs, so they certainly wouldn't wait years, or even over a decade; if they have one, they pick one; so considering both these circumstances, one can deduce that the Medicinal Saint Valley wouldn't have much of this herb.

After searching the area, Lin Yifan finally found this herb in a corner.

However, just as he reached out to collect it, another hand also reached out, competing with him for it.

This hand belonged to none other than Hu Jun, who had earlier looked down on him.

Hu Jun also desperately needed the Qing Xian grass because it was the most crucial ingredient for the elixir he was trying to refine; hence he was determined to get it.

Both of their hands were tightly gripping the Qing Xian grass, neither willing to let go.

"I say, senior brother, I was the first to find the Qing Xian grass, what exactly do you mean by snatching it from me?" Lin Yifan questioned.

"Who said you found the Qing Xian grass first? I saw it from a distance, you just got to it a step ahead," Hu Jun retorted, clearly disagreeing with Lin Yifan's perspective and accusations.

"Then what do you mean by that?"

"As a junior, you should respect your elders, so let go and give it to me," Hu Jun replied.

"Ridiculous, I've also heard that elders should care for their juniors, so why don't you yield it to me?"

Lin Yifan sneered repeatedly, unwilling to hand it over to Hu Jun.

"So, there's no room for negotiation?"

Hu Jun released a hostile aura and coldly questioned.

"No room for negotiation!"

Lin Yifan fearlessly countered.

"Fine, don't blame me for bullying the young,"

After speaking, Hu Jun rolled up his sleeves, intending to fight Lin Yifan.

However, he was abruptly stopped by Fangfang: "Senior Brother Hu, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, Junior Brother Lin is the Valley Master's direct disciple. If you dare to bully him, fear the Valley Master's punishment."

Hu Jun nearly forgot that Lin Yifan had the backing of a capricious woman, so he chuckled: "Hehe, Junior Sister Fangfang, don't misunderstand; I have no intention of hitting Junior Brother Lin, just want to reason with him."

"What's there to reason about? We found the Qing Xian grass, and you come to snatch it, what's the meaning of this?" Fangfang angrily questioned.

Hu Jun was clearly someone who looked for trouble without reason.

"Junior Sister Fangfang, I don't like hearing that; Qing Xian grass is public property, and everyone who sees it should get a share."

"Will you share half of the herbs you collected with me then?" Fangfang continued questioning.

"This..."

Hu Jun felt very awkward, not expecting his words to backfire on him.

"Hmph! Others' things are public property, while your own are not; truly taking advantage of numbers to bully the few."

Fangfang fumed, disliking people like Hu Jun.

The scene was extremely awkward, and Zhu Kang immediately stepped in: "Senior Brother Hu, I found another Qing Xian grass over there, why not..."

Upon hearing this news, Hu Jun relaxed and decided to give this Qing Xian grass to Lin Yifan.

However, as he turned to leave, with disdain he said, "Hmph! A coward relying on a woman!"

Hearing this, Lin Yifan was instantly enraged, pointing at Hu Jun's back, angrily questioning: "What did you say? Have the guts to say it again?"

"What if I say it again? Don't you admit you're a coward relying on a woman?" Hu Jun turned his head and coldly asked.

The reason he let go was that he feared the Valley Master, not Lin Yifan; if Lin Yifan dared to attack, he wouldn't show mercy.

"Damn it, looking for death!"

Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, about to draw his sword, but was held back by Fangfang: "Yifan, don't!"

Fangfang knew very well Lin Yifan's current strength; though strong, compared to Hu Jun at the peak of the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm, it was still far too lacking, with no chance of winning; so rather than letting Lin Yifan suffer and lose face, it was better to stop him.

"Fangfang, let go, I can't swallow this insult!" Lin Yifan's eyes turned red, unwilling to stop until he knocked that bastard Hu Jun to the ground.

Fangfang was at a loss, extremely distressed; one side was Lin Yifan's life, the other was his dignity, what should she do?

Just as she was unsure what choice to make, Du Yuze appeared.

He approached with a sword in hand, pointing straight at Hu Jun's vital points.

"Despicable Hu Jun, daring to insult my brother Lin, I'll make sure you don't die a good death!"

He had promised to follow Lin Yifan, so whoever dared to offend Lin Yifan, he would never let it slide.

Feeling the powerful force of a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak, Hu Jun could no longer remain calm. He immediately became alert, prepared for battle.

Seeing Du Yuze again, Hu Jun couldn't help but curse under his breath: "Damn, it's that bastard again, looks like we'll have to settle this once and for all!"

Hu Jun drew his sword, preparing to face Du Yuze's attack.

However, just as they were about to fight, the pharmacist from the Medicine Garden intervened again.

"Stop! Do you two really not want to participate in the alchemy competition? Or are you asking for punishment?"

"Elder, Hu Jun was bullying the young, publicly insulting the new junior brother! I intervened because I couldn't stand it," Du Yuze explained.

"Elder, don't listen to his lies, I..."

Hu Jun tried to twist the story, only to be sternly scolded by the Medicine Garden Elder.

"Shut up! Do you think I'm deaf? I know everything you do in the Medicine Garden, apologize to this junior brother at once!"

Hu Jun was very unwilling, but now he had no choice unless he could defeat the Medicine Saint, otherwise, all was lost.

So he used all his strength to force out three words: "I'm sorry!"

Lin Yifan felt much better, but Hu Jun's public insult was not something he could easily dismiss.

After apologizing, Hu Jun led his group away; at this moment, the Medicine Garden Elder also flashed away.

With peace restored, Lin Yifan sincerely thanked, "Senior Brother Du, thank you!"

If it weren't for Du Yuze, he couldn't have vented this anger; so despite having disliked Du Yuze before, he still had to say this thank you.

"Junior Brother Lin, no need to be polite, we're all family, we should take care of each other!"

Du Yuze appeared humble but his words carried a deeper meaning.

Lin Yifan didn't want to owe a debt of gratitude, but he was truly left with no other choice.
